Law Against Bleaching
of Pennsylvania Flour
Is Attacked by Millers

The House committee on health
and sanitation gave a public hearing
this afternoon on the bill to amend
the pure food law to permit artificial
ageing of -four. This legislation is
urged by the Pennsylvania Millers
Association and among those pres
ent to-day was William j. Yeager,
chairman of the legislative commit
tee of the association and other
prominent millers of the State. 1t
is contended on behalf of the mill
lers that the proposed measure is in
tended to place the milling industry
of Pennsylvania on an equal footing
with the millers of other States; that
Pennsylvania, North Dakota and
Wisconsin are the only states pro-
hibiting the bleaching of flour.
In some quarters the bill is being
strongly opposed, Dairy and Food
Commissioner Foust being against
it on the score that it will prove an
entering wedge for improper prac-
tices in the treatment of food pro-
ducts. Mr.. Yeager stated that a
similar bill passed both the Senate
and the House two years ago but
was vetoed by Governor Brumbaugh
n Notwithstanding assurances that the
measures would be approved.
The attitude of the millers is that
the industry outside of Pennsylvania
has a big advantage over the Penn
sylvania milling interests and one
of the millers declared to-day that
| the farmers of Pennsylvania are los
! ing S5,000,O00 a year on their wheat
as result of the alleged discrimina-
tion. 1t is claimed that mills out
side OF Pennsylvania are now ageing
and curing flour by electrical and
other processes so that they can ship
direct from the packer and save the
, labor and expense of storing and
handling. 1t is contended by the
millers that this treatment of the
Flour does not render it deleterious
to health and that the Pennsylvania
regulations are a distinct handica p
to the industry here.
Opponents of the bill say that the
artificial bleaching of flour by cleo
tricity would encourage the practice
of mixing third and first grade wheat
and selling the product as first grade
flour. To this millers reply that from
commercial point of view the
bleaching of flour which contained
| low grades of wheat had been proved
unsuccessful after a series of expert
ments.
| Colenel Edward Martin, State
! Commissioner of Health, and James
Foust, State Dairy and Food Com
missioner, attended the hearing and
expressed their disapproval of the
proposed measure. Flour manufac-
tured under the provisions of the
measure. would be harmful to the
health of the people of the State,
both maintained.

ROTAN AND WARE
FORCES NLWELY
TILT OVER BILLS
Fifth Ward Politics and Need
For Assistants For District
Attorney Set Forth

| District Attorney Samuel T. Ro-
tan, of Philadelphia, had it hot and
heavy with the Ware forces for IL few
moments this morning at a hearing
before the Senate committee on ap-
preparations, on the two bills pro-
viding for four additional assistant
/ district attorneys and sixteen addi-
| tional detectives under the direction
of the district attorney, in Philadel-
phia county.
Philadelphia politics in general,
| and those of the Fifth ward in par
| ticular. were the subject of discus
sion in a three-cornered argument
which ragged between Senators Ware
| and Salus on the one hand, and Mr..
Rotan.
Senator Ware stated at the hearing
that he would not oppose the bill in
committee, but would speak against
| 1t on the floor of the Senate. The
| only speaker against the measure
was William II. Wilson, director OF
public safety in Philadelphia.
| Mr.. Wilson opposed the bill on the
grounds of the increased cost to the
| taxpayer should the measure go
| through. He declared that there
| were already sufficient detectives in
| the city of Philadelphia, and declar-
ed that the proposed bills would
! create new and separate miniature
| detective bureau, separate from the
| control of the director of public
| safety. The present police depart
| ment is always at the beck and call
| of the district attorney" declared
Mr.. Wilson.
No Delay Tolerated
United States Senator Penrose de-
clared this morning that the hearing
/ which Senator Ware has fixed for
| next Tuesday to give Mayor Smith
and former mayors of Philadelphia
a chance to state their objection to
the Woodward Philadelphia charter
/ bills will be the last delay permit
| ted.
The senior Senator expressed seri-
Gus doubt as to the proposal to bring
Mayor Smith here to oppose the
| charter bills.
He also expressed pleasure over
/ the progress made so far. The bills
were read a second time in the Sem
ate last night.
Il am gratified that the bills have
been read the second time and salts
fled to hold a further hearing next
Tuesday said the Senator. This
will be the last delay
Ample opportunity has been af-
forded to discuss the bills and the
time for action has arrived.
81 am gratitied to know that Mayor
Smith is coming here to talk on the
bills. 1t will be interesting to hear
him give the record of his adminis-
tration during the last three and a
half years"
Then the Senator expressed the
opinion that it was doubtful if the
mayor wouN appear at the hear
ing.
Senator Penrose objected to the
use of the word fractional" in re-
ferring to the fight now on between
the rival Penrose and Ware forces
over the Philadelphia reform legis-
lation.
This is not a factional fight" he
asserted. 1T is a fight for a princi-
pie.
There is some element of faction
alism in it," he admitted but the

THE MILITARY HAIR CUT

I'VE are all militarists now said
Representative Kirby, of Arkansas.
Il was being shaved in Il barber
shop the other day when a grizzled
chap in a captains uniform came in.
He saluted smartly and seated him
self in the chair next to my own.
" Haircut, he said in gruff tones.
" How would YOU like it cut, sir?'
the barber asked.
The captain, who was baldish,
answered, gruffer than ever:
e Line up the hairs and number
off TO the right. odd numbers each
want a half inch off. Dress smartly
with bay rum and brillintine. Then
dismiss Washington Star.

Berlin, April %. - Appurtenances
for an election. such as voting
booths, lists and clerks are all ready
for an immediate plebiscite on the
peace terms which can be completed
all over Germany in IS hours. ac-
eording to information secured from
sources close to the government.
Preparations Are Secret
Preparations have been going on
secretly for several days. it is declar-
ed, and IL the terms are published
one morning, the referendum can be
taken the next day and the answer
can go TO the Entente IS hours later.
II is asserted that the only probable
chance OF an affirmative answer
would be in case there is an agree
ment to negotiate details of the
terms. Thus If an indemnity is fixed
Germany cannot hope to dispute the
total. but must be allowed to send
experts to discuss ways and means
of payment. it is said.
Ii is declared that the cabinet
wishes to avoid the responsibility Of
either refusing or accepting the
teims. Therefore, a plebiscite is al
most certain. 1t is believed the re-
suit will be a refusal to accept the
peace terms because the people will

1t is asserted that an agreement to
negotiate the details of the treaty
is absolutely the only basis upon
which Germany in her present mood
will vote in the affirmative.

ALLENDALE COMPANY ADDS
ONE MORE EXPERIENCED
OIL MAN TO THEIR
FORCE.

Mr.. Hawley first entered the oil
game in Vincennes and indianapolis,
Ind, where he was connected with sew
eral large companies in those cities.
He was connected with the Public Pro-
duction Company of Vincennes and the
Foundation Oil Company of Indianap-
oils. In addition to the above named
companies, Mr.. Hawley has also been
connected with the Alberta Crown Oil
Company Of Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
The officers Of the Allendale Oil
Company have shown from the start
their knowledge of the oil business.
Mr.. A. B. Dale, President; Mr.. E. 2.
Allen, Vice-President, and Mr.. L. D.
Stephens were all formerly connected
with the Texas Oklahoma Drilling and
Development Company. This organic
cation has had singular success oper-
ating in the Texas oil fields.
The policy of the Allendale Com
pany in surrounding themselves with
only experienced men with an es.ab-
lished reputation in the oil fields bids
fair for a very successful career.
Some Of the oil companies organized in
the Texas Oil Fileds in the last year
have depended on the old and reliable
luck to put them In the paying class.
And as Dame luck generally responds
few have enjoyed wonderful returns.
The Allendale Company are building
from the bottom up, laying the foun-
dation Of sound businesI in the men
behind every move. Each man is par
ticularly well fitted for his own de-
partment.
The standing Of these men in oil
circles was well shown recently. A
block Of 100000 shares at dollar par
was over half taken up by people who
knew OF the officers OF this company
through their connection with other
successful enterprises The policy Of
operation Of this Company in that they
will not only drill wells on their val
uabe holdings, but they own their own
string Of tools and win wells on con-
tract where their payment is as great
in bringing in that greatest Of disap-
pointment "a DUSTER) as Il is in
bringing in a Gusher. This liz just one
of the methods used as an anchor to
windward to protect themselves
against disappointments and mishaps
that any good business man expects.

spirit Of America at all times to fos-
ter anything which can encourage dis
