Says He Beats Wife
to Show His Love

New York, June 11.-James Walk
er. is an extremely affectionate hus-
band. He loves his wife so much
that sometimes he just naturally
boils over with 1t, and then he feels
that he has to beat her up in order
to make himself feel human again.
He was up before Magistrate
rockingham in the West Side Court
yesterday on a charge of doing that.
His wife told the magistrate that
they were married two years ago,
and that since then it had been just
one beating after another.
He is now out on parole for beat
ing me-" she said. land he recently
served a sixty-day sentence in the
workhouse for doing the same
thing"
And just then Walker, who was or
the witness stand, broke out with:
Judge, my God, love her! nv
love boils over and it is my only
relief! She goes to her sister anc
stays with her. but oh, my God
judge, how L love her!"
Stretching his arms dramatically
! toward his wife, he shouted:
Margaret, you know 1 love you
That's why 1 beat you up!"
| His wife looked as If she doubted
it and Magistrate rockingham re
| marked:
You must idolize her. How
| tender your love must be! You
wife's appearance certainly shows 1t
A man who would do what you hav,
done does not. deserve a place in thi
| CITY If Won call that love Won mus
be crazy.P

LIQUOR FIGHTS
WILLCONTINUE
Developments of Yesterday
Will Have Far Reach
ing Effect

When the brewing forces cut
loose their political anchors in their
successful efforts to defeat the
Vickerman and Fox prohibition en-
forcement bills they did two things,
both of which will develop to-day
and the twin developments are
these:
Senator Plymouth W. Snyder, of
Blair county, will introduce a bill
in the Senate which comprises the
big features of both the Vickerman
and Fox measures"
"A campaign has been born which
will keep alive the anti-liquor agita-
ton in Pennsylvania for at least two
more years and will enter into the
important spring primary in Penn
sylvania next year when members
of the House of Representative and
half the State Senators are nomi-
mated. This has been made neces-
sary, Representative John w. Wick
erman declares. because of the un-
necessary activity of the brewing
interests at time that nothing is
to be gained because the nation is
going cry and the Federal authori-
J.
is enforced"
'The significance of these deve1-
opments make it necessary for a
dIscr ssion of the subject and just
when it was thought and hoped that
the liquor question had been ban
ished from the Pennsylvania Cen
eral Assembly for years to come, at
least from the classification of ma
jor legislation, the brewing interests
have again revived the agitation and
the "drys" are going to carry the
matter of State enforcement into
the political campaigns of the future
until Pennsylvania has voted to en-
force the prohibition amendment to
the national constitution.
ITO accomplish their ends the
brewers played what in normal
times would be considered clever
politics. They made advantageous
deals form their own standpoint.
but the victory has only resulted
in the asking of questions to the
general trend of what they have
gained by their victory. After July
1 and positively after January 16,
next, they are out of business and
have brought about the paradoxical
condition of themselves being out of
business and inferentially opposing
the mandate of Congress and at the
same time making the drys see red
and being forced to fight them
again and in reality strike a foe who
is down. Liquor has fought out all
the angles of prohibition and now
has one more stand to make in
Pennsylvania-the effort to legalize
the sale of two and three-fourth
per cent. beer as a nonintoxicant.
That is another effort which is con-
sidered futile, as Congress will de-
termine that matter"

Terrifying Discomfort
From Skin Diseases

saturated with them. and they will
set up their attacks on the surface
of the skin as long as they remain
in the blood, no matter how much
local treatment you take.
A million gallons of local treat
ment applied to the surface of the
skin, will not eliminate the germs
of the disease from the blood. and
until they are eliminated your skin
will never be free from the itching
and burning discomfort.
If you want relief that is perma-
nent, then take a treatment that
goes right to the seat of the trouble
and removes its cause. Such a
remedy is S. S. S., the reliable old
blood purifier that so thoroughly
cleanses the blood, that every trace
of disease germ is routed out, and
a new supply of rich red blood is
sent coursing through the veins.
S. S. S. has been used successfully
in some of the worst cases of
eczema and other skin troubles, and
it can be relied upon to cleanse the
blood of the last vestige of the dis
ease. S. S. S. is also splendid tonic
and system builder, and it builds up
and adds new vigor to the whole
system.
Go to your drug store and get a
bottle of S. S. S. today and begin
the right treatment for skin dis
eases. Then write for free medical
advice about your own case. Ad-

Lehigh and Wilkes-Barre Coal COM
pany, also objected to a provision
OF the bill which does not deduct
amounts for materials supp1eS,
tools and other things furnished TO
miners in computing wages received.
He suggested that materials, sup :
plies, tools and other things be IN
cluded in the deductions.
The bill provides that in COM
putting a mans wages with regard to
continuous employment the wages
shall be taken to be five and one
bali times his average earnings as
the rate for a working day fixed be
fore an accident occurs and using as
a lass of calculation his earnings
dunng so much of the preceding SIX
months as he worked for the same
employer.
The. amendment which it was
sought by Mr.. Clark to insert pro-
vided that a mans average weekly
earnings are to be ascertained by
dividing his total earnings for so
much of the preceding twelve
months as he was in the employ of
the employer by the number of cal
endar weeks in such period, deduct
ing, however, from such divisor any
full weeks or fractional parts there
of during which he was prevented
from working by reason of his own
sickness, as evidenced by affidavit
of attending physician.
The Attorney General opposed the
amendment, declaring that the sec
ton as it stood was the fairest
thing he could devise. and that 1t
worked out fairly. To place in the
bill the suggested amendment, he
SAID. would work the grossest in
Justice in some industries.

CHARTER BILL
NEAR GOVERNOR
House Passes Much Debated
Measure After Speech by
John r.. K. Scott

Only two votes were cast against
the Philadelphia charter bill when
1T came up for final passage in the
House of Representatives last night,
and 1t was sent to the Senate for
concurrence in the amendments
made Monday night by a vote of
196 to ?. The negative votes were
cast by Messrs. Marcus. Allegheny,
and Dilsheimer, Philadelphia.
The final scenes in the much
discussed measure occurred in a
crowded house. State officials and
members of the Philadelphia char
ter revision committee and other in
terested persons. The announce
ment of the vote was received with
applause from floor and gallery.
Mr.. Ramsey, Delaware, called up
the bill and Mr.. Marcus at once
raised the point of order that the
bill was special and local legisla-
ton and had not been advertised
as required by the constitution.
Speaker Spangler overruled the
Scott. Philadelphia spoke for the
bill.
Mr.. Scott said the bill as it stood
met with approval of members who
are supporting the Governor. II
| creates a council of twenty-one
members who will be managers and
he said Philadelphia can never &C
backward under it.
The bill, said Mr.. Scott, had beer
'cleansed of pretense and subter.
| fuge" which had been ripped out
| by an honest Governor and an hon.
est and intelligent Attorney Gen.
era1." He reviewed the clause:
which had been objected to and re

what he termed "lily-white reform
ers." and the Philadelphia mu
unicipal court which he styled "s
catch basin" of politicians and hac
been put on the Philadelphia cit!

The bill, he said, would be monu
ment to Governor Sproul and Attor
ney General Schaffer, and was al
honest piece of legislation through
their efforts. He closed by pledgint
support to legislation bearing thu

School Teacher
Increase Favored

At a hearing before the Senate
committee on education, the Wood
ruff bill granting an increase in pay
to the school teachers of the State,
was commended on all sides, though
there was some criticism of minor
provisions.
All of the speakers present de-
clared themselves unqualifiedly in
favor of teachers increases, but diff
fered to some extent upon how the
increases should be effected. Some
of the counties through their rep
resentatives claimed themselves too
poor to grant increases. but it was
shown that in some instances their
taxation valuation was only forty
per cent. of the property value. Will
liam Disk, secretary of the Phila-
delphia Board of Education, spoke
against some of the provisions of
the bill, although declaring himself
in favor of the majority of its sec
tions.
clifford Pinchot, chairman of the
conservation committee of the State
Grange, appeared before the Senate
judiciary special committee yester-
day on the Goodnough bill, which
would reorganize the State Forestry
Department The bill provides for
the appointment as commissioner
of forestry of a trained forester and
provides for systematic method of
fire-fghting. Mr.. Pinchot declared
that forest fires have laid waste in
Pennsylvania an area greater than
that of the State of New Jersey.
"One-sixth of the State is of no
benefit to the people," said Mr..
Pinchot. "and the situation is grow
ing worse instead of better" The
bill recently passed the House with
out a dissenting vote, having it is
declared, the support of the State
Grange, the Pennsylvania Fedora
ton of Labor and the State Cham
her of Commerce.
