friends, Che bill was certain Of passing
the House. lie says the senior United
States senator has not issued orders
against his bill. -,
"The bill" said Mr.. Sterling. will
pass the House by comfortable ma Z.
iority. I am encouraged as a result of
thp conference Of citizens. men and
women, representative of the enlight-
cncd Thought of Philadelphia. with Sen
ntor pcnrose. Senator Pcnrose's friend
" attitude and my poll Of the members
in the lower chamber convince me that
the bill will pass the House without
any trouble.
''Tha bill has been amended so that
only two Of the seven members OF
the new board nrc to be elected next
November. The other five may be re-
appointed by the board Of judges from
out Of the present membership of fif-
teen.
~ find there are some who do not
like the amendment. They would pre-.
for that the people have the opportunity
Of voting directly next November for
an entirely new board. My amend
mcntg we're mnde. however. 40 that the
stigma Of ripper might be avoided.
Personally. ! am more interested in
tho gradual introduction Of the prin-
ciple of direct election than the per-
cmptory elimination Of the present
board. Certainly there Is no feeling of
personal animoSity.'

BIZ q sto6 Correspondent

Harrisburg, March 2s.-Decisive ac-
ton may be had tonight on the two
Sewers underworld bills which would
restrict the usefulness Of the Philadel.
phia police department, providing Rep
resentative Sewers, Of the Twentieth
ward, decides to press them to a final
vote in the House.
Friends Of the Moore administra
ton hope Sewers will go to the bat''
tonight so that these choice pieces OF
underworld d legislation may be wiped of
the calendar.
The first Of the Sewers bills is on the
House final passage" calendar
marked POSTPONED" It can be called
up for final passage tonight. The sec-
ond of the bills, which has a similar
intent, is up for final passage.
The first measure provides that in the
case of arrest without warrant, as In q
raid on gambling house or a place OF
ill-repute, the jurisdiction of mngis-
trates shall be limited to their respective
districts. That is. il a man were ar
rested in one district, for gambling
he would have to be taken TO the mag
istrnte Of that district; he could not
be taken to City Hall.
Furthermore, II a man suspected oi
being crook were caught in one dis
trict he could not be taken to City Hall
for the purpose of finding out II he was
wanted by the police Of Philadelphia OF
any city.
City Solicitor Smyth suggested
amending the bills so that the powers
Of the committing magistrate in City
Hall would not be curtailed in any way
This amendment effectually disposed Of
the plea that the bill is opposed because
1t would prevent kidnapping" or
election day and the chasing" Of q
political worker from one station hous,
to another until the election was over
Franklin Spencer Edmonds, having
noted that an effort was being made tC
deceive legislators from other counties
by talk Of election day kidnapping, an
swered by presenting Mr.. Smyth',
amendment. ind saying that such kid
mapping had not occurred for many
years and certainly not under the Moor,
administration.
The second bill increases the penalty
against policeman for failing to tax,
prisoners to the nearest magistrate.
Mr.. Edmonds will lead the figh
against the Sewers bills on the floor o
the House. if Sewers goes so far as Il
press them in the face of public opin
ion in his home city.
