Confer ences between the principal political leaders of the State marked today in Harrlsburg as the Pennsylvania Legislature prepared for Its last session to January.

W. L. Mellon and Joseph R. Grundy. leading political powers in the State made their appearance in Harrlsburg last night.

They came unheralded, and had no statements to make, but their presence here is taken to mean the beginning of intensified legislative activity. It was learned that the two leaders, together with Governor John S. Fisher will go into conference some time this afternoon with Cyrus E. Woods, newly appointed attorney gen eral. Other state leaders who will attend this conference are State Treasurer Samuel S.

Lewis; Auditor General Edward Martin; andl Deputy Attorney General William Schnader. It is understood that the administration's proposed revenue department bill will be discussed at length by the conferees. The department of revenue bill Is one In which Governor Fisher is vitally interested. It probably will be tossed into the legislative mill one week from tonight. There probably will be another flood of bills in the House tonight but the number is expected to be materially smaller than at any time during the session thus far.

In the Senate Governor Fisher will send in a large number of appointments for confirmation. Among those will bejthe appointments of Woods, as attorney general and Thomas Bald rlge as Judge of the Superior Court. There is little doubt but these ap appolntments will be confirmed almost as soon as they are Introduced. There were rumors here today that organizations of World War veterans were preparing to launch a new drive aimed at obtaining a bonus for Penn sylvanians who served to the armed forces of the United State during the last war. The bonus fight, it was indicated, will be opened tonight when repre sentatives of the Veterans of Foreign Wars seek to have Introduced a resolution authorizing a referendum to amend the constitution to permit a $50,000 bond issue to be used for the payment 6f bonuses.

Owen J. Roberts, of Philadelphia, one of the government counsel in the Teapot Dome and other oil conspiracy cases is heading a movement which will seek to obtain for state appropria tions $18,000,000 more than is provided for in the governor's budget. A committee of prominent Pennsyl vanlans, interested in welfare organizations is backing the Roberts move, it was said. It is the contention of members of this committee that the State is urgently in need, of such legislation to remedy conditions existing in welfare institutions. The majority of the appropriation, if it is obtained, would be used for new construction work.

IS tN PEGULIAR CASE Floyd B. Cisco, of the Maltby section of Swoyervllle, whose peculiar case has attracted considerable, attention, locally, was released on $2,500 bail Saturday evening, at a hearing before Squire E. F. Mott, of Wyoming. Cisco was arrested and held by the State police on a charge of being a fugitive from justice from the State of New Jersey, although he is a resi dent of this state, and has always lived here.

The charges were preferred by Mrs. Cisco, the warrant naming non support as the specific charge against him. The date of the warrant was 1926. At the hearing Saturday night Cisco testified that his wife left him several (years ago, taking with her their four children. She returned to her for mer home in New Jersey.

In October, 1927, Cisco obtained a divorce from his wife on a charge of desertion, the di vorce being granted by Judge Jones, of the Luzerne county court. Since the time his wife left him and also sinca the granting of the divorce he claims he had voluntarily sent his wife $40 per month to help support their children. Extradition papers were sent Troop and served on Cisco for the purpose of turning him over to the New Jersey officials. Cisco secured an attorney and the case was carried into the Luzerne county courts last week, where the judges refused to consider it, claiming it was a matter for Governor Fisher and tlie Governor of New Jersey to settle between them. The bail furnished Saturday night by Cisco is to secure his appearance if the decision of Governor Fisher should be against him and it would be necessary for him to answer the charges preferred against him in New Jersey.
