 AGAIN IN CONTROL
Pinchot Finds Himself Isolated Fol
 lowing Primaries

HARRISBURG, Pa, Sept. 2O-Gov- ernor Pinchot. swept into office a year ago on the high tide of new independence" in the machine-ruled
 q. finds himself more or less iso- lated with the ebbing of that tide in Tuesdays primaries.
 Latest returns indicate virtually complete control of the state by the old-line forces. with the prospect that out of the coalitions effected Tuesday, there will arise a new ma chine leader to fill the shoes vacated by the late Senator Boies Penrose. There are many who believe that Senator George Wharton Pepper Is being groomed for that leadership.
 One of the severest jolts to Pin chots prestige was that delivered by State Treasurer Snyder, who has been carrying on vigorous fight with the governor and whose ticket Tuesday was nominated on an out-and-out- Pinchot platform. In several sec tions of the state friends of Pinchot who had states running on his policies were defeated

STATE CAPITAL BUREAU l
 THE AGE-HERALD ! MOntRomery, Ala, Sept. 20 ]

The sheriff's bill providing for a return of the fee for sheriffs in feed ing county jail prisoners, together with an amendment by Senator Wad- dell. Russell, eliminating compilation of the daily ration sheet from duties of the sheriff, passed the senate Thursday morning over vigorous op- position of five of the senate leaders.
 Senator Manley Foster Tusca- loosa, administration floor leader, assisted by Senator Hutson, Morgan, Brewer, Jefferson, Horton, Pickens, and Tunstall, Calhoun, waged a bit ter fight against passage of the measure but in vain. The bill passed 26 to 4. Senator Foster was absent from the senate chamber when the vote was taken.
 The bill provides sheriffs operating on fee basis shall receive mini mum of S1 and a maximum of S6 per day for preparing and serving food to prisoners. That fee shall revert to the county treasury where sheriffs are on a salary. Under terms of the bill, the various sheriffs will be all lowed 50 cents per diem for feeding up to 10 prisoners, 50 cents per diem for up to 20 prisoners. 40 cents per diem up to 40 prisoners and 30 cents per diem for over 40 prisoners.
 o O O
 Ration Sheet Is Issue.
 The amendment of Senator Wad- dell eliminating the ration sheet was the principal subject for attack from opponents of the measure. Dishon- esty on the part of some sheriffs now in office or who at a later date may be in office was charged by several of the speakers. Senator Browep ration sheet prisoners arrested would turned on them if they were inmates Purposes of such move, according to the senator from Jefferson, was to charge a full days meal for the prisoner. Senator Morgan alleged some sheriffs would be lining their pockets with money derived from state funds at the expense of empty stomachs of incarcerated men.
 Advocates of the bill took issue with it's opponents on dishonesty of sheriffs, among them being Senator Powell, Macon. who said he had yet to see a starving prisoner; Senator Martin, Houston, who resented the inference as it applied to sheriffs of Henry and Houston counties, which he resepresents in the senate; Senator Oyerton, who championed the cause of sheriffs of small counties, who were barely making living expenses.
