few States when the Eighteenth
Amendment is repealed, but in a
majority of the States governors
are contemplating no action which
would give them immediate free
dom.
This was revealed by a survey
completed today by international
News Service.
In a number of States, the sur
vey disclosed. governors were
frankly opposed to any general
amnesty for liquor law prisoners.
Some Plan No Action
In some States the governors
explained they could do nothing
about the matter because State
dry laws will still be on the
statute books even though the
national prohibition act is re-
pealed.
Governor William A. Comstock,
Of Michigan, was one Of the most
outspoken in advocating leniency
toward those now incarcerated
for liquor law violations. He said:
81 shall let all liquor viOlatOrS
that have good records other
wise out of Michigan prisons
upon the reapeal Of the Eight
eenth Amendment"
Gov. George White, Of Ohio,
indicated that only those serving
time for what he described as
simple" violations may expect
Executive clemency.
Kentucky Plan PardOns
Gov. Ruby Laffoon. of Ken
lucky will undertake to release all
inmates of prisons who we're con-
victed in that State solely Of
liquor law violations providing
they have no earlier prison rec
ords.
Gov. Albert c. Ritchie, of Mary
land, said clemency in his State
will depend on the merits of each
case.
Gov. William H. ("Alfalfa BillD
Murray, of Oklahoma, said repeal
of the Federal prohibition laws
would have no effect on State
prisoners.
Gov. Alfred Landon, of Kansas,
said he has mot given any thought
to executive clemency for liquor
law violators."
Gov. Wilbur L. Cross, Of Con-
necticut, said he is in favor Of
granting pardons to any who re-
main in prisons in his State after
national prohibition is repealed.
He excepted habitual criminals,
however.
No Leniency, Says Ely
Sharp disagreement with those
who favor a lenient policy was
shown by Gov. Joseph B. Ely, OF
Massachusetts, who said:
81 feel that repeal is no rea-
son for wholesale pardOns for
liquor law viOlatOrs. After all,
they did violate the laws. I
don't propose to take any
action"
Gov. John Garland Pollard, Of
Virginia, wired:

comet was discovered independently
in 1892 by Holmes on November and
Davidson on November 0. 1t is due in
August.
There will be two eclipses of the
sun, both annular. An annular eclipse
is one In which the relative positions
of sun and moon are such that the
moon fails completely to cover the So
lar disk and there is thin annulus
or ring of light surrounding the dark
lunar disk at the time that would
correspond to mid-totality Of total
solar eclipse.
Eclipse of Sun.
The first eclipse will occur on Febru-
airy "a. The partial phase will be visi-
BILE in the southern and central part of
South America, all of Africa, except
the extreme northwestern part, the
western part of the Mediterranean,
Greece, Asia Minor, Persia and Arabia.
The annulus in this eclipse is visible
within very narrow path with max
imum duration of only / minute So Sec
onds. This path crosses South Amer
lea, near the fortieth parallel, the
South Atlantic, and from Stephanie-
vile, Africa, to Alden In Arabia.
The next eclipse will occur on Au-
gust 81. The partial phase will be
visible In central and eastern Europe
and northeastern Africa at SUNRISE la
ter in the morning, or near midday,
in Siberia, central and southern Asia,
and in the afternoon in the Philippines
and East Indies. In Australia the
eclipse will occur late in the after
noon or at sunset. The path of the
annulus, also narrow in this eclipse,
passes from Alexandria, in Egypt, over
Bagdad, across India, grazing Delhi
and Calcutta, across Siam to Borneo,
and north Australia, ending on the
coast Of Queensland at sunset. The
duration of the annular phase will be
only minutes Is seconds.

Six Comets and Two Eclipses
of Sun on Program.


Washington.-The sky schedule for
1898 will be of great interest to star
gazers, says the American Nature as
ISOLATION. Six periodic comets are due
for return engagements. Two eclipses
Of the sun are on the schedule also.
Then, too, Mars which is probably
of more popular interest than any 9TH
er planet because of its possibilities
as an abode of life and it's fascinat-
ing and varied surface markings which
indicate seasonal changes, is due to
come to perihelion on March I. Peri
helion is that point of the orbit Of a
planet or comet which is nearest to
the sun. This is one of the less ia
yorable oppositions, since the planet is
60, 100000 miles distant from the earth
at nearest approach on that date.
Nevertheless astronomers interested
in the physical phenomena of the PLAN
cts are preparing to keep this little
neighborlng world under scrutiny be-
fore and after the date of opposition,
and we may expect to hear more than
usual about the rudy planet Mars
within the next few months.
Six Comets Due.
AS to the comets, Nature Magazine
lists them by the names Of Brorsen,
Pons- Winnecke, De Vico-Swift. Giaco-
bini, Finlay and Holmes. The first
was discovered by Brorsen. 1t was
last seen in 1879 and is due to come
to perihelion again in November.
The Pons-Winnecke comet has Pc
riod Of nearly six years and was dis
covered by Pons in 1919. 1t is due to
return again in May. The De Vice
Swift comet returned in January.
Giacobini's comet was discovered by
that astronomer at Nice in 1900. It is
due at perihelion in June. Finlay's
comet is also due in June. Holmes

City Of Philadelphia
in Biblical Records

Although there is no evidence that
Penn had any knowledge of the van
ished Egyptian city of Philadelphia,
! it is nevertheless possible that the
name of his settlement derived from
the same gay and dissolute Ptolemy
Philadelphus who gave the Egyptian
city its title, for there was another
Philadelphia, also named after him.
This city was in eastern Pale enc.
1t has fallen into ruins, but remains

churches survive.

just how Penn came to choose the
name philadelphia" for his settle

in the Apocalypse, or Book of Revela-

founder of Pennsylvania, finding the
name there, was struck by its con-
notation of ''Brotherly Love-"

in vogue early In 1900, making it over
one hundred and twenty-five years
since its inception. It was modified in

The workers had complained that
they were not paid for time spent In
