For the Fourth Time He Was Chosen for Mayor of Chi- cago on Tuesday. Statement From Harrison. He Said : “| Regard the Present Election as Less of a Personal Victory for Myself Than as a Victory for Municipal Ownership’’—In Addition to the Mayor the Democrats Elected All Other Officers. CHICAGO, April 7.—Carter H. Harrison was elected mayor of Chicago today for the fourth time, his majority by unofficial count over Graeme Stewart, the Republi- can candidate, being 6,070. The total vote was : Harrison, 143,332; Stewart, 137,265; Gruice, Independent Labor, 7,500; Breck- on, Socialist, 7,200; Haines, Prohibition, 1,375. In the: last mayoralty election the total vote was : Harrison 156,566; Hencey, Republican, 128,413; Hoyt, Prohibition, 3,- 328; Collins, Socialist, 5,384. In the First precinct of the Second ward, in which both Harrison aud Stewart reside, the vote was : Harrison, 41; Stewart, 101. In the last mayoralty election the vote was: Harrison 82, Hancey, 54. Mayor Harrison said : “I consider it a victory for ultimate municipal ownership and for the referen- dum. It means that the settlement of the traction trouble must be made in the in- terests of the people of Chicago. It was the hardest battle I ever had and I am proud to have won it.” Chief issne in the campaign was the trac- tion question, both candidates favoring ultimate municipal ownership of the street railways. Stewart advocated an immediate improvement of conditions, making the best terms possible with the companies. Hariison recommended a delay until the city had obtained whatever it desired from the companies. . Mayor Harrison said tonight : *‘I regard the present election as less of a personal victory for myself than as a vie- tory for municipal ownership—a victory which should lead to the development of public national, as well as municipal utili- ties. Partisan lines were cast aside to a great extent, but the result is at the same time a substantial endorsement of my ad- ministration.’’ : In addition to the mayor, the Democrats elected all other officers of the city ticket— the city treasurer, the city clerk and the city attorney—by strong plaralities. The new city council will be thirty-five Republicans, thirty-three Democrats and and one independent Democrat. The re- sult in one ward is still in doubt. The old council was thirty-nine Republicans, thirty Democrats and one Independent. Blair Democratic Meeting. Candidates for County Officers Chosen and Dele- gates Named for the State Convention.

J., April 7.—A special ses- sion of the Legislature will be called by Governor Murphy for Tuesday, April 21st. This was decided upon this afternoon after a cenference between the governor and the attorney general. pected to be issued to-morrow. The special session will be called for the pur- pose of correcting a blunder that has been discovered in the Passaic pollution bill. One of the amendments made to the bill in the Senate does not appear in the measure in the printed bill that received the gov- ernot’s approval. This amend ment pro- vided that no work’ on * the trunk sewer should be consmenced until tlie governor and the attorney general weresatisfied that there would be no danger of successful in- terference from New York state with the proposed emptying of sewage into New York bay. EP The number of amendments were made to the bill in the Senate and the one men- tioned does not appear iu the records of the House as having been concarred in by the latter body. The amendments is not essential to the main purpose of the bill but it is feared that the failure of the House to coveur in this particular amend- ment might jeopardize the validity of the law if the matter should be brought into court. It is expected that the special ses- ‘sion will not take up any other subject and the two nouses will likely be in session but a brief period. Senator Manna: Says Result is Dis- appointing. CLEVELAND, 0., April 7.—Senator M. A. Hanna to-day gave the Associated Press the following brief statement concerning the result of yesterday’s election : : “While the result in Cleveland is disap- pointing to the Republicans, the effect will be to stimulate them to greater effort in future campaigns. The result by no means shakes my faith in the belief that we can carry this (Cuyahoga) county next fall. The general situation in the state continues favorable to the Republican party. (Signed) “M. A. HANNA.” Mayor Johnson had no comment to make to-day on the result further than to reiterate his previous stateruent that the result showed that the people were with bim in his fight for 3 cent street car fare and tax reforms, The proclamation is ex-: Alleged that Arthur R. Pennell Was a Defaulter, BUFFALo, N. Y., April 6.—1'he Commer- cial this afternoon publishes a story in which it is alleged that Arthur R. Pennell, who was killed in an antomoble accident on March 10, was a defaulter to the extent of from $150,000 to $200,000. The story, the Commercial says, leaked out as the result of a legal dispute over two life in- surance policies and is to the effect that Pennell inducedfriends in the east who had known his family and the family of his wife to place money in his hands for in- vestment. He acted, in fact, as their fin- ancial agent. He would inform them of some good investment which he had come across which would pay an excellent rate of interest and they would send him money. The money which was sent to him for investment, it is alleged, he spent and when interest payments fell due he made the payments out of his own pocket. The Commercial says that Pennell had contemplated suicide for over two years. Wallace Thayer, who was Pennell’s at- torney and intimate friend, is referred to by the paper as saying that he had suspected irregularities but that he ‘had no proof of any such wrong doing. Incidentally it has been learned that Pennell made provision for payment to Mrs. Edwin L. Burdick of $25,000 out of his life insurace. Pennell carried over $200,000 life insar- ance, in order, the Commercial says that after his death the eastern estates to which he is alleged to have been a defaunlter might be able to recoup the losses which they had sustained through him. In his will Pennell named as administrator of his estate his brother, J. Fredrick Pennell. He left to his administrator sealed instrue- tions that upon his death he should make good in fall out of his estate all the losses which had been sustained through his de- falcation. The Commercial also says the fact is known that Pennell planned two years ago to throw himself in front of a train at Peekskill on the way back from New York with the intention of committing suicide in that way, but his nerve failed him. Recently he told the story of the Peekskill incident himself. During the Pan-Ameri- can exposition he sought for days for an opportunity to commit suicide in a man- ner that would make it appear accidental. He had an idea that he conld be ran over in some way while at the exposition, but he never could nerve himself up to the point where he could throw himself under a train or drop under the wheels of a trolley car. It appears that there were two life poli- cies which had not been banded over to the administrator. One was for $15,000 and the other for $10,000. Those two policies had been assigned by Pennell to Attorney Wallace Thayer in trust. In one he was referred to as ‘‘Wallace Thayer, trustee,’ and in the other he was designated ‘“Wal- lace Thayer, as trustee.” The insurance companies took legal counsel in the master and held up payments. J. Frederick Pen- nell, the administrator of the estate, was called in and insisted on having more in- formation before he would consent to the payment of any insurance money to Mr. Thayer as trustee. It was then that the story of Pennell’s alleged defalcation and his plans to commit suicide were made known. The $25,000 insurance money assigned to Thayer by Pennell in trust is supposed have been paid over to Mrs. Burdick, in accordance to the provision of the -bond for $50,000 which Pennell gave prior to his death. Mr. Thayer would not talk about it. In fact, he has declined to give even the administrator of Pennell’s estate any information concern- ing it. The administrator went to Mr. Thayer for the purpose of finding out the nature of the trust, as it was his duty as adminis- trator to do. Mr. Thayer would not talk. He said that Penuell had left sealed in- structions, advising him as to how he was to dispose of the $25,000, and that, as a lawyer, he could not divulge the nature of that transaction. The administrator urged that he was en- titled to know the nature of the trust be- fore he could consent to have the money paid over. Mr. Thayer still refused to say what the trust was. Thomas Penny, attorney for the Pennell estate, accordingly charged the insurance ‘companies $0 pay over no money to Mr. Thayer. The probability is that the $25,000 will be paid into the courts. Mr. Penny stated this afternoon that, if Pennell had swindled any estates in the east, he was absolutely ignorant of it. More Strikes Inaugurated. By Metal Polishers and Coal and Iron Workers. PHILADELPHIA, April 6.—A strike af- fecting 350 men and ten shops was in- augurated here to-day by the Metal Pol- ishers’ International Union of North Amer:- ca.

That Is What President Roosevelt Hopes to Enjoy at Yellowstone Park—In Company with John Bur- roughs, Naturalist. He Will Study the Nature of Various Animals. : CINNABAR, Montana, April 8.—Presi- dent Roosevelt is in the fastnesses of Yel- lowstone Park and for the next sixteen days he expects to enjoy complete rest and cessation from public duties. He will be in almost daily communication with Secre- tary Loeb at Cinnabar, but nothing except of the utmost importance will be referred to him. In company with John Burroughs, the naturalist, who accompanied him from Washington, he will study closely the na- ture of the various animals that inhabit the park. The President has looked for- ward to this outing for some time and he was in a particularly happy frame of mind when he led the cavalcade into the park to- day. Every trail leading into the preserve will be closely guarded and no one will be allowed to disturb the President’s solitude. His headquarters will be at the home of Major Pitcher, the superintendent of the park. Several camps have been establish- ed in different localities and these will be occupied by the President from time to time. The special train bearing the President and his party arrived at Garduoer, the en- trance to the park, at 12:30 o’clock this af- ternoon and was met hy a detachment of the Third cavalry and a number of cow- boys. Major Pitcher also was on hand to welcome the President. Luncheon was served in the Presidents oar, after which, dressed in riding breeches and coat, with a light colored slouch hat on his head, he mounted his horse and made a brief ad- dress to the people congregated near his train. He ther bade the members of his party good-bye and led the way into the park. Mr. Barroughs followed in an army wagon. The train returned to Cinnabar, where Secretary Loeb and the remainder of the party will live in it while the Presi- dent is absent. The President will start on his trip to St. Louis and the Pacific coast on April 24th. The weather here is very mild and reports from the park are to the effect that there is but little snow in the vicinity of be President’s headquarters. A Tribute to Dr. Shriner.

Additional Law Judge Bills Passed. HARRISBURG, April 8.—The two House bills creating additional law judges in Dauphin and Cambria counties were passed finally and they now go to the Governor. The Democrats opposed the bill creating a new judge in Cambria county and Mr. Dewalt read a letter from the Hon. Francis J. O’Conuor, presiding judge of Cambria .| county, in which he says there is no neces- sity for an additional jodge. Mr. Stine- man, of Cambria, said there was a public necessity for another judge and he was sup- ported by Mr. Grady, of Philadelphia. The Intter intimated that Judge O’Connor did not want another judge in the county be- cause it would divide the patronage. True Bill Found Against Tillman. CorLumsra, S.

Ex-Vice President Stevenson Barned. BrooMINaTON, Ill., April 8.—Former Vice President Stevenson lost his hair and moustache and received painful burns on the face, head and hands today while try- ing to extinguish a fire in his home. The fire started in a hedroom. When Mr. Stevenson rushed into the room the cur- tains were in a blaze. Without calling aid he attacked the flames. In a moment the hair on his head went up in a puff of smoke. The fire then seized his moustache and blistered his face. Mr. Stevenson called for help. The loss to the house is $1,000. —-It seems strange that just when there is most for men to do they refuse to do it anl go on a strike.

Clevenstine,all in the vicinity of Zion; Harry Stover, Harry aud John Clevenstine, of near Hublers- burg. ——Harris Cook, who has heen danger- ously ill with pneumonia in Altoona, isso much better that he is regarded as being out of danger. - ts ——Having concluded a pastorate of three years in this place Rev. Dr. Wilford P. Sbriner will leave Bellefonte this morn- ing for his new field of work in Carlisle. All that he has accomplished during his residence in our town will live after him, so that it needs no recounting at this time. It has been enough, however, to class Dr. Shriner among the very ablest, most pro- gressive and determined ministers the town has ever had and be will be held in pleas- ant memory by many who appreciated him net only as an interesting pulpit orator, but as a wide awake citizen and a helpful friend. The Methodists, as well as all oth- er denominations of Bellefonte, will wish Dr. Shriner and his family God-speed, fully conscious of the good their life among us has been. > A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.—T$ is gratifying to note that the ladies of Cen- tre Hall have organized an auxiliary to the Bellefonte hospital. They met in the Re- formed charch in that place, on Monday evening, and elected the following officers : President, Mrs. W. H. Schuyler; vice presidents, Mrs. S. W. Smith; Mrs. J. F. Shultz; Mrs. W. H. Kreamer; Mrs. G. W. Hosterman; treasurer, Mrs. Helen Grenoble; secretary Miss Elsie I. Krise. This action on the part of the ladies of Centre Hall shows that'they have grasped the ‘hospital situation and realize—as should every community in Centre county —that the new institution in Bellefonte is for the public good and not the enterprise of any locality or clique or set of people. It is a public institution in every sense of the word and if all the people in the coun- ty manifest the interest in it that the ladies of Centre Hall evidently intend tak- ing its usefulness can be greatly extended. ee.

Ice of considerable thickness was found in this valley, and in the surrounding neighbor- hood. C. A. Krape has his store and postoffice building about ready for plastering, and no doubt will occupy it in less than ten days. The building is a credit to the neighborhood, and a decided improvement on the one destroyed by the recent fire. : The Lutherans here have organized a Sunday school and had their first session on Sunday morning last, C. E. Royer, superin- tendent. By the way why do all the denomi- nations--Methodists, Lutherans, Evangelicals and Presbyterians have school in the morn- ing. Would it not be better for some to take the afternoon? Evidently the attendance would be greater. All having school in the morning, naturally the attendance would be and is very limited in each.
