Tener Defies House Probes In Pennsylvania Riot Precedent
Harrisburg report says Governor Tener defied the House by withholding information on executive departments and ordered his secretary not to obey a subpoena in a dual officeholding probe. The stance rests on a Hartmanft precedent from 1877 later upheld by the Supreme Court. The House committee, led by Geiser, investigates dual salaries among 50+ state workers while a health budget controversy aims at the $1 million-plus request for Tuberculosis work and other items.

Highway debt plan faces clash as Senate approves bonds
The legislature backs a $60,000,000 highway bond issue amid farmer opposition and anticipated House dispute, with ratification and a possible November referendum to speed road construction. A separate measure creates a state vice department to combat vice, run by a physician commissioner at $8,000 yearly, with an advisory board and reporting duties for medical and other professionals. Other bills authorize Niagara restoration funding, cave-ins insurance, and state control of the Pennsylvania Oral School for the Deaf, plus broader tax and banking reporting provisions.
