It is all too easy now to secure a divorce.

This hill would enlarge the field easy endeavor and is thefore not in the interest of the homes of our people.

Senator Buckman, of Bucks county, made the motion to recommit the bill when it was called up on final passage. The purpose of tonight's action is to have the bill amended so as to exclude from the operation on tne measure all streets, alleys and other thoroughfares that have not been formally accepted by the municipality.

HARRISBURG, Pa May 17. Senator C.

A. Synler, of Schuylkill, tonight presented amendments to the Lynch bill creating a board of revision and assessment, so as to eliminate Lacka wanna and Westmoreland counties Trom its operation. Support for the Lynch bill has fallen away. It was presented as a reform measure to eliminate duplication of effort and expenses in making the as sessment for all purposes in Scranton and Lackawanna county. When amendments were proposed which would eliminate the reform features, the bill would be robbed of its only reason for existence.

The Evans house bill, increasing the pay of mine inspectors to thirty five hundred a. year was passed finally in the senate, along with the Magee bill, fncreasing the salary of the controller Tn Lackawanna from four to five thousand, and the Hubler bill increasing the number of poor directors in the Jenkins district, to provide representation for Duryea and Taylor.

Senator Buckman. who made the motion to recomit the Lynch bill, is chairman of the senate committee on appropriations and has the matter in charge.

Lynch got Blewitt, Murrin and Buckman into a conference, the result of which was that the Carbondale mayor was given to understand that there were many calls upon state funds which have to' be denied this session, because of the shortage In revenue. "We can't do anything for you this year," Buckman said. Notwithstanding the decision of the senate cnairman the Carbondale men co operating with Representative Jones are still plugging away In hopes of pry ing the bills loose.

The bill was reported out tonight, but It has a chance for Its life If it gets to the house tomorrow. The Impression here is that it will not get very far away from either the house or senate committee on mines and mining. MINE FIRE APPROPRIATION. While newspapermen and other Scranton folks were trying to get some action on this measure, former Senator E. F.

Blewitt and Mayor James Murrin, of was not reported out, because of an agreement that after It passed the house there would be no demand to get it out of senate committee.

CONGRATULATES CITY UPON 50TH ANNIVERSARY (Continued from rage One.) the resolution, paid a fine compliment to the progressiveness and initiative of The Scranton Republican and in connection with the stirring speech he made tonight he read the editorial printed in this newspaper some weeks ago, suggesting the desirability of the state's recognition of Scranton's ac complishments. The editorial is now a part of the legislation Mr. Ehrhardt continuing, said: MR. EHRHARDT'S SPEECH I rise to present for the consideration of this house, a resolution calling the attention of the commonwealth, officially, to the celebration on April 23, 1916, of the fiftieth anniversary of Scranton as a city. The record of Scranton as a municipality, its wonderful growth and development, the loyalty of Its citizens to the nation and state, their contribution to the advancement of the commonwealth and the commonwealth's debt to thlB, the third city within her borders, are deserving of a mora eloquent speaker than myself.

Still, It is with no small degree of pride that I rise to present this resolution. One of the youngest cities of the commonwealth, and yet the third in population, the third in its manufactures and wealth, but the first in the hearts of loyal and proud citizenship. Moreover, we have a right to be proud, we citizens of Scranton, and we are not ashamed to confess, aye, boast of it. Founded but a few years before it was incorporated as a city, and olnce its incorporation (growing Iby leaps and bounds, a city of industry, of business and of homes, Scranton stands today in the heart of the anthracite coal fields, a city of which the commonwealth need not be ashamed. It Is customary for citizens of a municipality or a town to stand by their home town, to extoll her virtues, to minimize her faults, ibut Scranton Is different and her citizens are different.

Only last night, the learned attorney general of our commonwealth paid a tribute to the activity of Scranton's citizenship when he declared that Scranton men, more than any men he ever knew, were on the lookout for the interest and the welfare of their town, Scranton. Gentlemen, every Scranton citizen pleads guilty to that charge. From the time that Col. George W. Scranton, afterwards a member of congress from this state, founded the city of Scranton until today, that has been the keynote of every Scranton life.

Scranton is a town without an anvil chorus. Scranton is a happy town. Pcranton iB a prosperous town. Furthermore it deserves to be. Scranton Is the metropolis of the anthracite coal field, the center of the richest spot In the commonwealth, for yearly yield of coal from the anthracite field exceeds in vatue the gold yield of the entire nation.

Scranton is the first city, not only In the commonwealth, but in the nation, In choral singing, the trophies of its choirs having been won over decades In world competitions. Scranton is the city of Industries. Its citizenship a year ago performed for its Industrial development a feat that stands without parallel namely, raising one million dollars from the people of the city for the development of industry. "cranton Is a city of conventions. Its welcoming arms have been extended to organizations without number In this commonwealth.

Hundreds of the citizens of this commonwealth nay thousands and tens of thousands sing her praises as a host. Scranton as a city Is liberal and broad in Its religious and charitai development. It is a city ot churches. It Is a city of charitable institutions and better than that of charitable people. Almost without end, could I extend this Just record, of the worth of our city, isut i snau ioroear, leuoi i uc Comfortables Satin quilts, suitable for wedding gifts $10.00 value for $5.00.
