It states cavalry forces of the two armies now are operating north of Lille. This shows that the Allies' cavalry Is pressing for ward ngalnst that of the Germans and that tho Allies' pffonslve has not been checked. The official statement follows In full: " Tho general situation has under gone no change. On our left wing tho two cavalry forces are oper ating continually at the north of Lille and La : arro and the battle continues on tho line marked by the regions of Lens, Arras, Bray-sur-Somme, Chaulnes, Royo and Lasslgny.

George Stalllngs, manager of 'the Bos ton Braves, appeased his desire for punching some one's head today when a fan became overzealous In expressing Ms praises of the Athletics within Stalllng's presence. The unlucky fan was P. J. Callahan, who has been hanging around "kidding" the Boston players ever since they have been in the city. "We'll show them," chortled Callahan In the lobby of the Majestic Hotel. Then he ambled over to Stalllngs and made a Jeering remark. Stalllngs grabbed Callahan and punched lllm. Callahan was then ordered out of the hotel. The Braves' manager ambled back to his post at the hotel desk and lighted a cigar.

Intimidation of saloonkeepers by brew eries that hold mortgages of their cus tomers Is the latest step In the fight the liquor Interests are making to send Sen ator Penrose back to Washington nnd to keep tho Penrose-McNlchol Vare ma chine In control In Pennsylvania. A threat of foreclosure Is the club that Is being held over the heads of the saloon keepers to keep them In line, Tho breweries conduct their sales under a system which absolutely controls tho business of tho saloonkeepers who sell their products. They are using the same system to coerce the saloonkeepers to show "cortnln" results In the way of vote for Penrose and against "black balled" candidates for the Legislature. The system employed Is simple. The breweries, when they find a location where a saloon should prosper, have for many years been building the saloons and either operating them themselves In directly through a man whom they would select and to whom they would give a percentage of tho receipts for conducting the place, or have been lending the men sufficient capital to start In business. CONTROL MANY SALOONS. Scores of saloons which were In opera tion In Philadelphia before the breweries started this system have also come under the control of the breweries by virtually the samu means, money. Whether be. cause they have been "squeezed" or be cause they have had bnd luck In their business matters, the proprietors of these Baloons havebeen forced to borrow money. The breweries have In nearly every Instance loaned It to them, without Interest. It Is by lending money to saloonkeepers and never charging Interest on It that the breweries have been able to get a stranglehold on the business of the sa loonkeepers and force them to do the bidding of the brewers. SEND OUT LETTERS. Letters ordering saloonkeepers In all parts of Philadelphia to work for Pen rose and for certain candidates for tho Legislature, who, as cogs of the Penrose-ilcNlchol-Vare machine, are allied with tlio liquor Interests, have been sent out by breweries during tho last two weeks. These letters, while the details are differ ent In nearly every case, nearly all fol low the same form. The saloonkeeper. In these letters, has first been reminded of the dates on which he borrowed money from the breweries and the amounts. The breweries then add the amounts, Inform the saloonkeep er of the total, and then remind him that no Interest hus been charged during the years the breweries have held his notes The saloonkeeper has then been urged to work in the interests of the Republi can candidate for United States Senator and for the Penrose-McNIchoj-Vare ma chine candidates for the State Legisla ture. He should get "certain" results In his district, it is pointed out in the letter. MUST ATTEND MEETINGS The breweries have followed this with a demand that the saloonkeeper ateml the meetings of the liquor men.

DELAY FOR PENROSE THROUGH VOTES OF SULLIVAN'S FRIENDS COMMITTEE NAMED TO PROBE POLICE TICKET SCANDAL Judge Frees Speculators Ar rested Last Night Scalp ers Demand Confiscated Pasteboards. Senate Committee by Secret Vote Decides to Postpone Inquiry Until After the Election. WASHINGTON. Oct. 9. Behind locked doors the Senate Privileges and Elections Commltteo this morning postponed tho In vestigation of tho primary elections In Pennsylvania and Illinois until after the November election. Senator John W, Kern, of Indiana, the chairman, gave as an excuse for this action that It would b Impossible to get a sufficient number of Senntors to serve on the subcommittee. Senator Moses E. Clapp, Republican, of Minnesota, who favors the Norrls res olution, led the fight for an Immediate Investigation, but the Democratic- Sena tors, who were determined to save Roger C. Sullivan, the Democratic nominee In Illinois, from the embarrassment of fac ing an official Inquiry before the elec tion, succeeded In postponing action. When Senator Clapp realized that a malorlty of the committee members had uirieecl to delay action on the resolution he rtetnanded an open session of the com mittee. This the Senators would not agree to and the hearing was conducted behind closed doors. Senator Oliver, of Pennsylvania, ap peared on behalf of the Pennsylvania Protective Union which, according to Representative Palmer, has collected a large campaign fund for Penrose. Oliver pleaded for delay, and he told tho com mittee that the Protective Union had col lected only 11,000 to be used In Senator Penrose's campaign. The primary cam paign, ho said, cost Penrose $11,610.73; Brumbaugh. J3139.43; McC0rmick, ?33, 274.73, and Palmer. J3704.1S. The Palmer McCormlck League, he said, reported ex penditures of J19.406. Senttor Oliver Ignored the charges ot Renresentatlve'-at-large Rupley, of Car lisle, Pn.. who last Monday told the com mittee that SOM retail liquor dealers In Pennsylvania had contributed to a $100,000 fund. The liquor dealers are supporting Penrcse. Advocates of the Norrls resolution be lieve that tho vote to delay action until after the November election was due to the great pressure that has been brought to bear on members of the committee by friends of Roger Sullivan. How tho Senators voted In the com mittee room Is bolug kept a secret. Sena tor Kern refused to say which members had voted for an Immediate Investiga tion. The question Is understood to have been decided by tho votes of absent members who havo not heard any of the witnesses who havo appeared to advocate the resolution. They telegraphed to Chairman Kern as to how their votes should be recorded. Senator Clapp announced that the fight for tne Norm resolution win be con motto of the liquor leaders all during the tlnued.

News of Judge Martin's decision spread like wildfire among other speculators who didn't go to the ball grounds. They sta tioned themselves almost outside of the City Hall and around Juniper street and began to sell their tickets. While policemen and city detectives were standing a few feet away the scalp era kept shouting: "Get your tickets for the world's scries!" Ban Johnson, "czar" of the national pastime, was followed for two blocks on Uroud strict this morning by three per sistent speculators who wanted to sell him a batch of tickets.

Dick Rudolph received a splendid ovation when It was learned that he was to do fend the Braves ngalnst tho slugging Athletics. Thero was no surprise when tho entire Hne-up wns seen to correspond with the majority of predictions. Tho Athletics took the field early. For 30 minutes they pounded the practice of ferings of Thomas and Coomb3 to all corners of tho lawn. Each member of the Athletic club Indicated by his pre liminary batting that he had reached the height of form. At 1:20 o'clock the Braves, who had been warming up for half an hour, took the field for practice. Their hitting was not as terrific as the Athletics, but tho precision with which they met tho ball surprised many local fans who had never before seen them in action to doubt tho ability of the Mnckmen to outhit their rivals. The fielding work of both teams was eagerly watched by the 21,000 specta tors, who constantly cheered the brilliant Athletics, and Maranvllle and Kvors, of the Braves. If any one expected cither of these two pairs of wonderful perform ers to cieariy ouismne ine otner lie was mli.tnken.
