'Ag fi im ft oon on Full Cre DEMOCRATS SHORT TO SUPPORT CONFIRMATIONS To Try Luck at Session Next Week 34 REQUIRED After an all day series of negotiations the Democratic Senators last night decided to try "their luck with Earle appointments next Monday night. The situation in which Administration men found themselves yesterday was unchanged from a month ago. They are still short of the thirty four votes needed to confirm.

Democratic Senators named Senators Rice, Adams; Frey, Al legheny, and Thompson, Centre, to meet with Republican Senators and endeavor to get them to ease up in opposition to confirmation of any appointees a proposition on which the Republicans have some Democratic support. No success was had, although a drive was made for Public Utility Commis sioner Arthur Colegrove. Pressure Fails The committee on executive nominations has been having numerous meetings trying to get everything from cabinet officers to members of county assistance boards confirmed. A particular list was made up late yesterday, but failed to make a dent on the Republicans. All sorts of pressure was used on kicking Democrats and that did not work either.

If the nominations are brought out Monday night there will be a battle royal. If Earle appointees fail to confirmation the Governor tan rerhame; them after adjournment, bit only until the next Senate. Chances are Governor elect Arthur H. James will recall them all anyway, as that has been the custom, also followed by Governor Earle when he assumed office.

Ernest Thompson Seton wants Uncle Sam to give their old buffalo hunting grounds back to the Sioux Indians. The 78 year old naturalist said that the territory including South Dakota, Nebraska, and eastern Montana and Wyoming was guaranteed to the tribe in 1868 by a Government treaty with Red Cloud, Sioux chieftain. The treaty was broken, Seton said, but now "Farmers out there haven't been doing so well. They would be glad to sell their land to the Government, and the money the Government would be spending for it is owed to the Indians Hunter "Brings 'Em Back" at 7.30 0 clock. 1931.

Mudge, local executive secretary of the council, announced.

Administration Changes in i Oivlett Tries Unsuccessfully to Have Scope Broadened to Include More Than Horse Race Neivs in Ban Administration forces fought off attempts to load up the bills to restrict means of communications for horse race information and changed them so that too stringent methods against broadcas ting would be avoided in the Senate last night. The session was supposed to start at 2, but dribbled along all afternoon and it was almost 7 o'clock when it ended. The fact the Republican vote in the Senate dwindled to twelve prevented adoption of amendments proposed by Senator Owlett, Tioga, to define gambling and include in the news banned for gambling in addition to horse races such matters as election news, Treasury balances, pin ball, baseball, wrestling, prize fights, pool and other forms of amusement on which people might make bets. The Administration only defeated Owlett's moves by three votes. Senator Shapiro, Philadelphia, took charge of the bills in the absence of Senator Thompson, Centre, their sponsor and accused Owlett of trying to make "a laughing stock out of the bills," to which the Tioga man retorted he thought horse racing should' not be the only form of gambling" for 1939 CRUISE PLANNED BY COMMERCE GROUP Setting up some of the preliminary details for the 1939 Cruise, the Chamber of Commerce Committee in charge of the Eleventh Trip met in the Penn Harris today.

Hicks, State chairman of the Young Colored Republicans, and William Dillard, presi dent of the Keystone Young Republicans.

The club will meet again at the hotel Monday night TTlO rug ON VOTES Forces Beat amb li ngBUls legislation. There was a lot of talk in which "rackets," "swindles" and similar' terms were used, Owlett and Senator Pytko; Philadelphia, a of Commission investigating horse race stunts, clashed a couple of times. The vote was interesting. Senator Haluska, refused to vote; Heyburn, Delaware, voted with Republicans and so did Law, Mercer, on one amendment. Kun kel, Dauphin, voted, with the Administration forces, When the Owlett amendments had been defeated Senator Steifel, Philadelphia, offered others which took out of any one wanting to get a telephone or a broadcast having to secure a Public Utility permit.

UNION INJUNCTION ORDER CONTINUED 1 5 Judge Karl E.

Richards in Dau phin County: Court has extended the injunction order granted to the United Association of Steam fitters and' Helpers Union, Pittsburgh, to restrain the. State from interfering with construction work at the Irwin Works of the Illinois Steel Corporation, in Allegheny county. The court action followed a dispute between steamfitters and LITTLE ORPHAN 7 WHr 1 1 IS ALL. THE 1 'COMMCmONfl ABOUT I ANNIE? ITS BUTTON AND TK SHERIFF AVJD COPS AND A WHOLE CROWD OV FOLKS, AND THETKE TURNINT IN HERE Seems to Be Ealy Way From all accounts it seems to run in the Ealy family. The distinguished Senator from the hills of Somerset was elected for a fourth term in a district somewhat noted for only electing people for two terms and is back in the Senate, where he will figure extensively in State affairs in the coming four years or so.

And right on top of this news came the information that his brother, Dr. David Ealy, of Moundsville, W. had been elected a State Senator of that Commonwealth for a four year term. The interesting thing about it is that there are very few Republican Senators or members of the House, either, for that matter, in the West Virginia legislature. The Ealys hail from the southern tier and Bedford and Somerset has been their habitat for generations.

The Pennsylvania Senator, Ealy, served as county solicitor in Somerset and thereby obtained that extensive information about counties and their affairs which has made him such a useful members. He also served as chairman of several important Senate committees and will probably head more. He has been named as a candidate for president pro too. Gelder in Line Speaking of presidents pro Senator Ealy's seat neighbor, Senator Frederick T. Gelder, of Susquehanna, is being much mentioned among Republican members for president pro tern, when the Senate organizes in January.

The northern tier Senator is a close personal friend of the man from the southern tier. Gelder is one of the publisher members of the Senate and has a record of service in the House before coming to the Senate around 1923. When the various elder slates men retire the end of this month, Gelder will be No. 2 Republican and one of the most level headed and energetic members of the upper branch of the General Gelder does not speak often, but when he does, the Senate listens. It took a lot of work to get the figures compiled on how much the special session needs to square up its bills.

The last appropriation for that purpose ended in October and it was calculated to end the session yesterday. But something happened and now a sum equal to what will be needed to the end of this month is being pushed along. What is not used will come back, but no one is very sure about that. Kennedy Honored Lieutenant Governor Thomas Kennedy was honored last night by Governor Earle when his name was sent to the Senate as re appointment as a trustee of Hazle ton State Hospital with which he has been connected for many years. John Yourishin, Hazleton legislator and chairman of the House Labor Committee, was ap2 pointed to a vacancy.

The nominations went to the committee in charge. Housing Director Charles V. Doyle has announced hearings on proposals for housing authorities in York, Hazleton and New Castle for Friday, November 18. Schuylkill and Bucks counties havealso filed applications. These hearings will be on a half hour schedule and will be held in the Senate Caucus room.

Big Treasury Moves The State Treasury yesterday disbursed over $8,873,000, includ ing payment for $2,575,000 General bonds for the School Employes' Retirement Fund and $3,696,000 to the United States for unemployment compensation. The balances went down to $68,964,000 after these outlays. The income for the day was over $2,300,000. No Civil Service Reports that a civil service bill for the State Government was to be presented blew up in the Senate late yesterday. John H.

Fer tig, former head of the Legislative Reference Bureau, said it could not be offered under the Governor's calls. James P. Forbes, Quarryville, was appointed a notary public by the Governor late yesterday along with a number of others and inside of fifteen minutes the whole group was confirmed in one of those 'fast moves by the Senate.
