DEFEAT OF PEKROSE
URGED AS AN ISSOE -
! ABOVE PARTY LINES
Popular Government League
Says $1,000,000 Has Been
Raised to Send Him ' and
Sullivan to Senate.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-Defeat of
Boles Penrose, described, as '"Republican1
machine boss of Pennsylvania," and -of
jlogcr ' Sulllvnn, "Democratic machlno
boss 6t Illinois," both of whom seek
fflts In the United States Senate, Is
urged In a statement Issued last night
by the National Popular Government
League, tho president of which Is Sena
tor Robert l. Owen, of Oklahoma, chair
man of the Banking and Currency Com
mute, and an Administration leader ln
the Senato.
The two men are designated In tho Btato
tnent as "a menace to popular govern
ment, State and national."
The league's' manifesto, based 'Upon
representations mado to It by dependable
eltliens, declares: t
"That tho success of both Penrose and
Sullivan, at the primaries was promoted
by defective machlno-made primary laws
which deny tho Bccrcoy of the Australian
ballot, militate against the freedom of
the votors and permit skillful' frauds to
be perpetrated.
"That lf Senator Norrls' resolution Is
passed by tho Senate and nn Invcstlga'
tlon of theso two primaries takes place,'
the results -w.111 shock tho nation. '
' "That an enormous sum of money,
estimated to be $1,000,000, Is ready to be
pent If necessary to elect them to tho
Senate, where, because of the peculiar
organization of tho Senate, tho rules
would givo each of them enormous In
fluence. "That both had behind them the sup
port, direct and Indirect, of tho special
Interests In these States.
"That they both have been persistent
nemlcs for years .of tho popular gov
ernment system.
"We shall oppose Penroso and Sullivan
because we believe the election of theso
men, representing as they do in tho pub
lie mind the most typical and conspicu
ous examples of the sinister partnership
between bipartisan politics and tho apo
dal Interests, would prove a most seri
ous national blow to the doctrines of a
government by tile people.
"We, therefore, aro of tho belief that
the Issue transcends' all party llne3 and
that It Is tho duty of alt gooU citizens, to
disregard party prejudices and to unite
In opposition to all tho alliances between
crooked business and crooked politics,
whlch today threaten the very founda
tions ot government by the. people. We
ak the moral and financial support of
friends of progress throughout tho nation
that wo may be able successfully to afd
the people In their" efforts to overthrow
Sulllvnnlsm' In Illinois, 'Penroseism In
Pennsylvania and tho .Influence of tho
system' at Washington."

Call of a Morning Alarm.
That tho llfo of a fireman la beset with
hardship, and danger Is a fact to which
William Walton, of 1607 North 21st street,
can testify heartily. All of the danger
doesn't como fighting fires, either. Tho
mere sliding down on a brass pole In re
sponse to ah alarm may be ns hazardous
as climbing Into n burning building, a
fact proved by liflurlca sustained by Wal
ton when he fell down a slide-pole at
an early hour this morning as nn alarm
was sounded from a flro box lit Second
Btreet. nnd Ulrnrd avenue.

he was only hnlf awake, and missed the

noticed by the other firemen, and they
dashed .from the building, "leaving their
companion lying unconscious upon the
floor, whore he was found some time
.later by one of the company who re
mained on duty In' the engine house.
The Injured man was rushed to tho

place on Fifth street below Arch.
Brokers patronized him, but the place
was damped and only a few persons
could be served at a time. Harker was
n fine fellow, agreed the brokers, but
his placo was a little unhandy to reach,
and then It was a little stutt'y. and being
perched on a stool at a lunch bar was
not the most comfortable position lu
which to enjoy one's meals.
Harker bold out and went to a hos

Request From President Yuang Shi
Kai Ignored.
President Tuang Shi-Kal, of China, to
make himself more popular with his baby
but turbulent Government, started a pa
rade this morning between tho hours of
3 and 6 o'clock, Chinese time, to the
Confucian Temple. He asked all China
men to honor Confucius at approximately
the same time.
The local Chinatown received the Presi
dent's edict, but since the right time for
the tribute is difficult to translate Into
Race street chronology, Chinatown Is not
paying honor to Confucius or to tho
Piesldent.
Last week Yuang Slii-Kai hinted to Ills
chief minister that ho thought It would
be quite- proper If the President's natal
day bo celebrated. The minister stroked
the back of his neck where many a prime
minister has felt the headsman's axe. He
felt the same ns the President. He agreed
with the execution from the crown of his
Illustrious head clear down to tho honored
ground the President trod upon, and
straightway sent a manifesto to the Race
btreet colony declaring n holiday on the
birthday anniversary of the President.
Chinntown read the proclamation, snlfred
and returned either to Its restaurants or
did a two days' job In one over the wash
tubs.
Philadelphia Chinamen are revolution
ists, and they also state that they aro
Christians, since they met up with the
missions and missionary women. To
them Yuan is only un unhorsed division
h nder who draws pay for what he did
some time ago for the Imperialist party.
President Yuang has not been seen pub

pistols. Since then he has organized the

CODRT ASKED TO
STAY ALLIES FROM
SEIZING VESSELS
Owners of Fram and Som
merstad, Through Counsel,
Move to Save Boats From
Hands of Warring Powers.
A demand to order the unloading of
the Norwegian tramp steamboats I-'ram
and Sommerstnd, now lying In the Dela
ware Itlver, has been filed with the
United Stales District Court today by
Italph M. Utlllovva, a New York attorney,
representing the owners of the vessels,
who do not propose to have them seized
by warring powers by carrying supplies
to Clerman men of war oft the American
coast. The court has reserved an opinion.
The dictagraph exposure of tho desti
nations of tho Norwegian stramsliIpB
Fram nnd Sommerstnd, now nt an
chor In the Delaware River, has
disclosed tho system which mado
the violation of neutrality possi
ble. Owners, agents nnd others are
now rushing to cover. The expose was
due to the efforts of Christian Moe.
Norwegian Consul nt this port, nnd
Ralph M. Dullowa, a Nf w York attorney.
It wns In Mr. Hullown's ofllcc the dic
tograph was Installed, prior to a con
ference between the masters of the ves
sels, representatives of the Hnmburg
Amerlcan Line and oinclats of tho Inter
American Company. Mr. Ilullowa de
clares that the Intcr-Atncrlcnii Com
pany had chartered the vessels and then
rechnrtered them to the Hamburg
Amerlcnii Company. This Is denied by
Julius P. Meyer, director of the latter
company, who asserts that his company
has chartered vessels at various times
to supply ships of tho line, but never
Herman cruisers.
Upon the advice of Mr. Moe, Captain
Axelsen, of tho Sommerstad, and Cap
tain Grlnhelm, of the Fram, consulted
Mr. Bullowa, after notifying their own
ers, the A. F. Klaverness & Co., of
Haugcsend, Norway, and H. M. Wrnngell
& Co., of Chrlstlanla, Norway.
Consul Moo's suspicion waB first aroused
by Captain Axelsen and Captain Grlnhelm.
They told him they wero to sail under
sealed orders and "things didn't look Just
right." They said that they were In duty
bound to the steamship owners to cany
the carcoci) to their destinations, but they
did not believe tho owners knew anything
about the shipment of supplies to Ger
man warships.
A few duys later the captains told Mr.
Moe that agents of tlie Hamburg-American
Line had sent them offers of big
bonuses lor immediate ballings. Tills was
during the time the masters of the feteam
shlps were awaiting advice from home.
The advice came and told them to con
sult .an attorney. Then the conference
with the dictograph as a witness wns ar
ranged. Nothing could be learned of the trans
action nt the office of William J. Grand
field and Company. ::0S Walnut strot, to
day. They are the local agents for the
steamships. They declined to give tho
name or names of tlie persons for whom
they were acting and further refused to
affirm or deny that they knew the car
goes were meant for Gorman cruisers.
"Wo will not discuss the tiansactlon In
anyway," was all that was bald.
The Sommerstad and Fram are two of
six vessels with similar cargoes on board
clarcd from this port by Grandliel.l
& Co. The llrdt one was the Helna.
which left on August C ostensibly for l.a
Guavra. It was reported that ihe had
been captured In the act of dellvcrlrg
hci cargo to a German warship. The
Xcpos sailed on August :'2. tho John Lud
wlg Novvinckel on September 2 and the
Unlta on September 8. On their clearance
papers their destinations were given as
Spanish or Brazilian ports.
IJke "carrying coals to Newcastle" was
the carrying of coffee to Drazil by these
steamships. Another suspicious Incident
was the large Mipply of fresh water
taken on board. There aroused the Nor
wegian 3kippers' fears. Tlicv did not
care to risk Imprisonment in Kngllsh or
French prisons, but both emphatically
declared they feared mobt for the prop
erty of tlitlr employers. Difficulty was
experienced In getting crews for these
vessels, despite the fact that hundreds
of sailors are out of employment.
Arrangements are now being made for
the discharge of the cargoes of the Fram
and .Sommerstad, and In a few days
tVl.oru worth of coal and bhlp supplies
which were scheduled for German war
ships will be dumped hack on ono of tho
piers and later delivered to the ton-slgnor.i.
