bout the North American story and the

"What did they eay?" he was asked
'Something like this: 'So that's how
he got "our Bill." Well, we'll get him this
time!' and 'now we get a chance at the
hian who put "our Bill" away. They can't
.laugh at us after this.' "
Vare leaders will not admit there Is
any uprising. "There ain't any orders,"
ono man said. "Vare won't knife Pen
rose." . "Hasn't he sot the nerve?" was asked.
This stung the Vare leader, loyal to
the last ditch.
"Now, don't be too sure about that,"
was the reply. "How about the last day
or, two? You can't tell what they'll do.
'iow aDout orders the last nay? wuict
orders no ono would hear?"
QUIET "OnDEHS," IP ANT.
They will be quiet orders If any come.
.But orders are unnecessary where there
Is a chance for reprisal. It would heed
orders to vote for Penrose, thoso who
know the temper of the Vare men say.
"fhere Is much quiet talk about banting
1'enrose. Ills new opponents are holding
small meetings In their homes and the
word Is golns around Mr the knife.
"All the noise Is coming from Penrose
men," one leader explained "You won't
hear them talking about a rrolt We
aren't talking, but they'll hear from us
on election da v."
, If tho Vare vote Is thrown against Pen
rose he will he beaten This Is the definite
statement even of Penrose supporters.
PINCHOT SAYS CHARGE
KNOCKS OUT PENROSE
Washington Party Nominee Declares
Senator's Answer Lame.
Glfford Plnchot. Washington party
nominee for t'nlted St.ites Senator, de
clared today that the North American's
charge against Senator IVnrose was the
finishing blow to his opponent
He discussed the subject at the Hotel
Adelphla, where he Is stopping during his
campaign in this city
"You ask mo whether I believe the
"North American's statement will atfect
.Mr. Penrose's chances," he said. "Of
course It will. The lame reply made bv
Sir. Penrose is his refusal to aceppt the
Issue. He leaves the North American's
statement substantially unanswered, and
uses the customary device of the man in
the wrong the device of asking a lot of
questions which have no reference to tho
point at Issue.
"Not only the statement of The North
'American, but almost equallv the Pen
rose reply, will be Influential In costing
.Penrose votes. This Is by far the hard
est blow that has been struck at blm
'since the campaign began. If the Pen
rose cause were not already lost this
would cost him the election."
"Are you going to withdraw?" Mr
"Plnchot was asked.
" "Ton know very well what my answer
ywould be to that." he replied.
. "Don't you think that with only two
candidates In the field the chances of
defeating Mr. Penrose would be much
-better?"
"That would be true under ctrtaln con
ditions." said Mr Plnchot. "If the two
men In the field were Palmer and Pen
'rose the result would bo the overwhelm
ing election of Mr. Penrose. If the two
men In the rleld were Penrose and Pln
chot the result would be the overwhelm
ing election of Plnchot, who. as a matter
"of fact, will be elected oven with three
"in the field."
Mr. Plnehrt said that he never felt
better In his life.

4 "SOME ASS TALKED TOO MUCH."
A letter from a man named Jackson, an
attorney, written on July 35, IMS, to tho
.Roebllng concern, reads as follows:
"Tours of the 27th Inst at hand. In
closing letter from your Chicago house,
relative to some ass who Is talking too
much about the Copper Wire Association
matters.
"It .Is the same old question. The only
.thins I can guarantee Is that, as far
as this office ts concerned, we do not
talk outside about our dealings or about
our personal huslness If I were able to
rontrol thi talk of all the members of
the various associations that we have
here, and to Impress upon thi'm the fac
that the only motto Is 'Addition. dl Isk.rt

man than I am now."
COPPER WIRE PHICE FIXING.
The Government prosecutor, who Is a
former Secretary of War, declared In his
argument today that the copper wire
men fixed prices at their meetings.
It was pointed out today that the Cop
per Wire Association agreed that on ami
after April 1, lCi the association hhould
continue till May 1. 1311, "under all Its
present rules, regulations, terms, allot
ments and conditions, without the right
of any member to withdraw " T'pon roll
call this resolution was unanimously
voted.
Th members of this association control
approximately so per cent of all the wire
of that kind made In the 1'r.itfd States.
The Government also contended that
after the formal wind-up practically all
of the same members came together, and
among them the representatives of the
American Steel and Wire company
One or more of them would announce
prices, and then left the meetings. As a
rule, they sold to the trade at the prices
which were announced.

SWEARS MISTRESS

Sensational Testimony in

MINEOLA, L. I , Oct. 21. "I shot him "
Around these three words tittered, ac

Tho Coleman maid took the stand to
day and swore that Mrs. Carman mad

kitchen with a revolver In her hand a
minute or two after the fatal shot was
fired. Tt Is apparent the State's conten
tion Is that the wife shot at her husband
Whllp Mrs. Carman sat rigid and Im
mobile a few feet away the maid told
how the doctor's wife, nfter entering the
Kitcnen. walked nto tie nhv clan' nt.
flee where the dead woman was lMng
on tho floor. Mrs. Carman still held a
revolvir In her hand, the girl Insisted.
She had It concealed under a white shawl
eho wore over a klmuno, according to
the maid.
Mrs. Carman looked at Doctor Carman
kneeling over the body of the slain wom
an, the girl said. The doctor's wife,
stilt grasping the revolver, staved in the
room but n minute, going out by the way
nf the waiting room.
Mrs. Cnrman did not say anything
more to her. the girl said, when she
entered the kitchen. Asked bv District
Attorney Smith whether she thought Mrs.
carman had killed her husband when she
sold "I shot him." the maid answered that
she didn't know whom she had shot. She
said that neither Mrs. Carman nor Doctor
Carman sDld a word while she was in the
ofllce w here the dead woman was lying.
Mr. Graham, attorney for Mrs. Carman,
scored n big surprise, on the State when
he Introduced a statement made by the
Coleman girl In a private investigation

Graham rend the statement Just before
adjoin nrr.cnt for lunch.
On the night of the murder, the girl
swore. Mrs. Carman came downstairs
and walked out of the house through the
kitchen A minute or two later, the wit
ness asserted, she heard the sound of
breaking glass and the report of a re
volver Mrs. Carman entered the kitchen a min
ute later, she satd
"I have shot him," she said, according
m the maid.
REVOLVER IN HER HAND.
"Did Mrs. Carman have anything In
her hand?" asked the District Attorney.
"Yes." replied the witness, "she had a
long blue revolver. I was standing In
the pantry door when she rushed back
Into tho room and ihe came right over
to me. I touched her arm and said:
'What are you going to do now?'
" 'I am not going to do anything,' sho
said.
"I went Into the office then and she
went with me. I saw the body of a
woman on the floor, and Doctor Carman
and a short man were In there. Mrs.
Carman hnd gone In there with me. The
body of the woman was Ivlng on the
floor near the operating table. I stayed
In there but about a half a minute,
going back to the kitchen."
ASKED NOT TO TELL.
"Where did Mrs. Carman go?" asked
the prosecutor.
"I don't know." was the reply. "She
went out the door of the office toward
the walling room and I didn't see her
again until th next morning. Slip came
to my room before time for me to get
up. She told me that she hoped God
would forgive her. She told me Bhe would
take care of my little boy as long as
he lived If anything ever happened to
me. Then she asked me not to say any
thing about what had happened."
SIGNED FALSE STATEMENT.
District Attorney Smith asked the Cole
man girl about Attorney Levy, of the
defense, calling at the hou.-e on the morn
ing after the murder.
"H came to se me in the kitchen the
next morning." the maid (-aid. "He
asked Hi" If I had seen any one pass
through the kitchen the night before, and
I said no "
"Did h come back later?"
"Yes, he came back Thursday, and I
told him again that I hadn't sen any one
In the kitchen before I heard the shot
fired. Later Mrs Carman wrote on a
plec of papr, saying I didn't we any one
pass through the kitchen, and I signed It "
"Rut It wasn't so, was it?" asked Smith.
"No." was the reply.
"Whv didn't you tell the truth at
the Coroner's inquest?" Smith continued.
Attorney Graham objected to this nuea.

BURNED LETTERS.
"Didn't Mrs. Carman ask you to build

"Yes." was the answer. "She said
she wanted to burn some letters. I

things "
"Did Mrs Carman send you after her

"Yes. two weeks after. Sh said she
wanted to see her father, as she must

In answer to one of Graham's questions
"She didn't sa a word when she was
In the office, nor the doctor didn't say
anything, either He was kneeling over
the woman's tody when we went In the
office. '
Mr Graham bitterly attacked the Negro
maid on the basis of the various conflict
ing statements she has made since thv
murder. He also laid great stress on her
v.-rston of th manner in whteh the re
volver was disposed of
"When you knew it was a woman In
stead of a man why didn't ou say some
thing?" asked Graham.
Tho maid said she did not want to tell
about the shooting
"Do you think God will forgive yotj for

"Yes. ' she whispered.
"Do yoii think that God will forgive you

Republican Congressional
Committee Scores "Star

Democratic Leaders on Im
portant Public Issues.
From a Staff Corrrfttotuttnt.
WASHINGTON, Oct. :t.-"Pltlless Pub
licity." which at the beginning of the
Administration It was announced would
be President Wilson's watchword, has,
according to the Republican National
Congressional Committer, ulven way to
secret conferences nt the White House
and stcret caucuses nt tho Capitol.
Cabinet officers are charged by the Re
publican leaders with adopting "star
chnmber methods" and "drawing the
blinds on business about which the people
have a right to know."
In a !ittln pamphlet Just Issued by
Chairman Wood, of the Republican Con
gressional Committee, Secretary of the
Treasury MeAdoo comes In for much criti
cism. The booklet Is entitled "Pitiless
Publicity vs. Sinister Secretlveness."
"Even the fighting monarchies of Eu
rope," the pamphlet reads, "are more
frank with their subjects than tho Demo
cratic Administration has chosen to be
with the American people. Notable proof
or tins is tnat even in mat delicate and
tense period that preceded the European
war, when the whole diplomatic situa
tion was pregnant with dire possibilities,
England printed her 'White Papers' In
which nil 'he diplomatic correspondence
leading up to the declaration of war was
made public.
"Germany published her 'White Pa
pers,' and the other warring monarchies
have taken their subjects Into their con
fidence. But In our own free Republic,
with an International situation concern
ing our people just as closely, the Ad
ministration has dealt In the dark and
has refused to take the American people
Into its confidence."
Commenting on the manner In which
the Underwood-Simmons tariff was en
acted Into law, the pamphlet contains this
paragraph:
"Behind closed doors, and with report
ers carefully excluded, the Democrats
talked about the bill, and then passed a
rule forcing their membership to sup
port It without even the privilege of
offering an amendment on the floor. The
debate on the floor of tho House was most
perfunctory. And not a line was changed
In the bill. Is this 'pitiless publicity
or 'pitiful privacy'?"

Chief Justice Walter Clark, of the North
Carolina Supremo Court, without men
tioning his name, because of his advo
cacy of recall of decisions.
"Borne who would disavow Socialist ns
such aro nevertheless tho allies of this
Socialist doctrine, tho committer report
ed, "Within tho lost year a Chief Jttstlco
of one of tho oldest States, In an address
avowedly Intended for the people of tho
entire nation, held up to derision our
Federal Constitution, Its makers and Its
expounders, as a basis for his advocacy
of the decision recall and of other
changes In our form of Government. His
nttack upon tho Federal Constitution nnd
upon our system of government has never
been surpassed In malignant vituperation
by that of any Socialist doctrinaire."
PARTLY APPROVE "OHIO TLAN."
Partial approval was given by the com
mittee to tho "Ohio plan," which pro
vides that no act of th Legislature, duly
approved by the Executive and not ve
toed by the people through the refer
endum, shnll be declared unconstitutional
by the State Supreme Court unless nt
least six of tho snven Judges concur.
"We aro not ndvocatlng tho Ohio plan,
but simply suggesting that, for existing
Insuftlclcricles which nre recognized bv
the bar generally, It offers some elements
of remedy consistent with our form of
government, the committee said.
Tho Judicial recall amendments to be
voted on In Knnins nnd Minnesota were
singled out for particular denunciation.
These require a separate recnll election,
apart from the election of tho successor
of the deposed Judge, in case tne recall
ts successful.
"By eliminating one of tho Incidental
objections to the Judicial recall these
measures, tliti3 sugar-coated, were fed to
and swallowed by tho Legislatures of
theso two States, where without modi
fication tho recall of Judges had been
previously rejected," the report read.
Summarizing, the committee said:
"A perceptible chango In sentiment
toward the Judlelnl recall Is slowly but
surely showing Itself among the people
of the different States. In many locali
ties Its truo nature Is not yet understood.
In most States tho average voter has, ps
jet, Insufficient appreciation of Its bane
ful character. Tho work of education
must be continued. Tho signs, however,
of Increasing enlightenment, duo to tho
persistent efforts of its opponents, are
everywhere apparent. Former leading
advocates of judicial recall arc saying
less about It. Some of them nre now
saying nothing about It. Some have
apparently given up the idea of tho re
call of Judges and havo turned to tho
Judicial decision recall as a substitute.
DISCRIMINATION IS CHARGED.
The report of the special committee to
suggest remedies and formulate proposed
laws complained that tho House Judiciary
Committee had failed & keep Its promise
to give It n hearing on antl-tiust legisla
tion. Of the anti-trust legislation It said:
"It discriminates In favor of labor or
ganizations, forbids injunctions In labor
controversies which would be granted In
other cases and make: certain acts legal
when done hy labor unions which are Il
legal when done by others.
"We condemn the Standard Oil manu
facturers for endeavoring In the early
days of their organization to drive com
petitors out of business. What Is this
but a boycott? This was considered so
criminal by the Senate that Senators de
clared they would rather have their cot
ton destroyed by the weevil than use any
Rockefeller money to prevent tho plague.
Yot heio wo have a proposed art wh!:h
makes It legal for a laboi union to per
suade persons to cease to patronize or
to employ any party to a dispute. This
Is a boycott.
"Can It have occurred to tho gentle
men who propose this legislation that If
the courts cannot decide these contro
versies peaceably they will be decided by
force? Tho shocking results of tho latter
method we see plainly In Colorado. Would
It not havo been better to have the ques
tions which have given rise to bloodshed
there decided In an orderly manner by
the Colorado courts?
DEADLY COMPETITION UN
CIVILIZED. "Your committee Is not opposed to or
ganized labor. Wo freely concede to
laboring men the same right to organize
that their employers possess. We aro
persuaded that In opposing the propose 1
legislation we are the true friends of
both.
"For our own part, wo helleve that
deadly competition Is uncivilized. This
and this alone Is the crime alleged
ngalnst the founders of the Standard Oil
Company. Fo- this they havo been held
up to public obloquy. Tho United States
Government has proceeded partly on this
ground against the great corporation and
has procured its dissolution.
"It Is perfectly plait, that public senti
ment and the law as administered do
not permit 'deadly competition' hy corpo
tations. On every principle of equality
and Justice It should not bo permitted to
trade unions."
The Committee on Taxation found 55
faults with tho new Income tax law.
"Apart from Bpeclflc defects," the com
mittee reported, "the structure and Ian-
guage of the act as a whole Is open to
the gravest defects. A revision of tho
law should therefore extend to Its form
ns well as to Its substance The entire
act should be reconstructed, and thero
should be placed upon the statute book
an income tax law so arranged and ex
pressed as to be convenient for refer
ence, consistent In all Its parts and
capable ot being understood by a citizen
of average intelligence."

BAKER REFUSES
TO GRANT DOOIN
CLEARRELEASE
Former Philly Manager Has
Served Club 13 Years.
Resigned Position, Not
Ousted, He States.
After 13 years of service ns a play.
and five years ns manager, Charley Dooln
was refused his unconditional release by
President W. F. Baker, of tho Phllajt.
phln National League Club. "I a,
twlco for my release," nald tha ex-Phiny
manager this morning, when talking over
his retirement and the appointment of
Pat Moran as leader of tha Phils for 19H,
"nnd twlco It was refused me."
This necessarily makes Dooln's plana
for the future uncertain. Charley nlso
made It plain that ho resigned his posl.
Hon ns manager nnd wns not forced out.
"I want It to bo understood that th
Phillies did not throw me out. as has
appeared from somo of the newspaper
nrtlclcs," said Dooln, "I quit tho club
two months ngo and told them I could
no longer act as manager. But for some
reason President Baker did not see fit to
mako this known.
"Tho main reason why I did not ears
an longer to continue as mannger was
tho failure of tho club owners to support
me. They have never given ma a cent to
buy a ball player with."
"Matters came to a head two months
ngo In St. Louis when Hoblltzol, who had
been first baseman for Cincinnati, was
sent to tho Red Sox by the waiver route.
I had no chance whatover to land him,
and. In fact, I did not even know ha was
out of the league until It was too late.
"I have been with tho club hero for 12
yoarn, nnd yot when I asked for my un
conditional release, President Bakor re
fused, saying I had no right to ask It."
"Just to show you how I waa hnmpcred,
nnd. In fact, prevented from getting men,
take the cases of Oldhnm. who Is with
Detroit, and Rltter, with New York. We
had both of thoso players out on option,
yet they would not nllow me to exercise
tho option and get the men whom I
needed very much.
"Then, too, only a matter of $2000 stood
In the way of our keeping both Tom
Senton and Mike Doolan. Theso are some
of tho things I have had to contend with,
Working with a new organization nearly
every year. too. hurts tho chances of a
manager to make good. A new man
comes In nnd he either doesn't know or
forgets what a fellow has done. What I
havo done in the past has certainly not
been appreciated by tho present owners.
'Well, I nm glad I'm free of nil the
worry of being manager anyway," re
marked Dooln ns he concluded, "I think
I would have been n wreck In another
year. Why, I have gained 11 pounds
since the close of the season. Now I'm
going to rest until I start on my vaude
ville tour"
"The Boston Braves have made me an
offer, but I cannot accept It because I
nm not a freo agent. Tho Philadelphia
club evidently wants to make some money
out of my sale, nnd I would have to go
to tho club they sent me to or quit base
ball.' "But I am not situated so that I have
to play unless I care to; therefore I
won't have to accept any proposition
that doesn't look good to me
"I have not made any definite plans
for the future, nnd I may not play base
ball ngoin. I havo been told by Presi
dent Baker that tho Cincinnati club
would like to have me, but they would
have to make a big offer.
"As far ni the Federal League Is con
cerned, I have never had a talk with
any of Its official, and they have
never made me an offer. They would
have to extend big Inducements to gain
my services."
Last year the Baseball Players Frater
nity was granted a number of requests
by tho National Commission. Ono of
these provided that a man who had eeen
10 years' service In tho majore should
havo his unconditional release, provided
that all of the clubs waived on him The
Philadelphia management, as far as can
be learned, has not nnd does not Intend
to nsk waivers on Dooln It It, believed
liv the ex-manager himself that It Is
the plan of the owners to sell him, hence
he cannot get his release from the club
In the way provided by the fraternity.
Only President Baker can give It to him.
At 0-30 o'clock this morning Dooln and
his wife left In a motorcar for a trip
out of town and will be gone a week.
Dooln would not tell his destination On
November 2 he will enter vaudeville
again, making his first appearance at
Wllllamsport with his old partner. Mc
Cocl. on the Keith circuit.
Dooln called attention to the fact that
thero are few men who have served longer
in tho National League than he. There
nn- only three players left In It who
were members when he broke In. these
being Tommy Leach. Christy Mathew
son and Hans Wagner.
U. OF P. GIVEN PAINTINGS
Ancient Tibetan Collection Presented
by Mrs. John R. Le Conte.
A valuable collection of ancient Tibetan
paintings, said tn be the only one of Its
kind In this country, has Just been pre-
semen tne rniversltv Museum by Mrs.
John R. Le Conte, widow of the widely
known scientist, who died a few years
ago In this city, and her son, Robert
Le Conte.
Doctor Le Conte obtained the collec
tion many years ago from the late Mar.
quia Ito, who was killed In Korea Ac
companying the paintings are some of the
Mairpils' letters to the scientist, beau
tifully written, but couched In quaint
phrase because of tha writer's limited
command of English.
Present day artists are deeply inter
ested In the paintings all but one cf
which are of Buddha or somo saint Tho
largest is a realistic picture of hell,
showing souls beim; weighed at the ga'.s
and then passing through 23 tortures
All the paintings are In flat colors and
with single lines that bring out great
detail. Considerable technical skill wai
required, according to critics, to produce
the extraordinary effects.
