The House passed the resolution, while talk of sending it to the Senate continues. The hall resolution for final adjournment on April 25 goes to the Senate appropriations panel. A special order for the oleo bill was granted after a heated fight with farmer and pure butter supporters prevailing. Philadelphia legislators opposed the measure. Lancaster’s McClain proposed capital removal to Lancaster, but the notion is treated as a joke. Continued on Third Page.
