Leaves PlnchOt Helpless Without
 Funds for Work

Harrisburg, Pa June l5--fhe .swetss in the house of representa- lives yesterday in the closing hours ni the legislature scored a victory over Governor Pinehet's dry law enforce ment program,
 After the senate had passed the blanket appropriation bill for sAs,- ssa, ,esA, which it had amended t0 lnr eiudA the haitlersearFei sskh,A00 item fer enforcement, the ''weisH in inc lower house suFged forward and by a vote Of TOT to 80 killed The item,
 The senate then bowed 10 the ''wel' sentiment of The lower house by Nllh' drawing it's ssa0,Ann item, and as a result the state will have no money 10 enforce the pinehat dry law unless the governor can force an aPRFonria7 tlen through by q special session,
 Following announcement Of the eenate's action, word came from the executive mansion that Governor Pins ehot is making plans ta address joint session Of the legislature before final adiournment. His address Is expected to come at the conclusion of the ses' sion in response 10 the usual formal inquiry from both branches as ls whether the governor has any fur ther communications to the leeisla' ture. The prospect Of n final mes' sage from the governor aroused in terest among the members, Although the formal request is customary, rare iy has the chief executive availed himself Of the opportunity.
 withdrawal of the appropriation is . triumph for the ''wets." one of their few victories over the adminls- fration. The Philadelphia house del- eFaton voted against the enforcement item as 1t did when 1t was defeated in the house weeks ago.

 Before She Plunged to Her Death.

New York, June 16.-While harbor police dragged the East river off Ninth street, detectives today set out for three men who just after dawn were seen talking to young woman at the end of a pier and fled after she tumbled into the river to be swept under by the tide.
 A watchman saw the four, appar- ently in violent argument, and saw the men flee as the woman plunged beneath the waves. He threw her rope but 1t was too short. While he ran for a longer rope the woman's screams and frantic struggles ceased.
 Another woman, Eva Vari of Brooklyn was under treatment for submersion and exposure today. She was rescued from the East river off 95th street when two bay men dis covered her struggling in the water.
