PENROSE THE ONLY
ISSUE IN THE STATE
Addresses Employes at
Cramp's McCormick, in
Speech, Challenges Dr.
Brumbaugh to State Atti
tude Toward Senator.
The declaration that Penrose nnd I'rn
losetsm nre the only Isues bcfoio the
voters of Pennsylvania at this tlmo was
made today at noon to more than lift)
employes of the William K. Cramp Ship
and Engine Building Works by Repre
sentative A. Mitchell Palmer, Democratic
candidate for the United States Senate,
and Vance C. McCormick, fusion guber
natorial candidate.
"A vote for Penrose." s.aid Mr. Mc
Cormick, "Is a vote to continue his record
at Washington as a pledge breaker and
a subsidy blackmailer; tho record of one
who gains his ends by coeiclon and
graft."
Tho two speakers nre here for tho four
day city campaign of the Democratic
campaign party. They took luncheon at
tho Bollevuc-Stratford following the meet
ing at Cramp's, and will i-pcak at League
Island at I o'clock this nfternoon.
Representative Palmer's attack on Pen
rose and Penioi-uism was, as usual,
straight from tho shoulder. He quoted
Penrose as declaring, at the outset of
his campaign, that th Mexican war and
tho tariff were the two Issues of the
campaign.
"Both of these aro dead now." said
Mr. Palmer. "The Mexican situation has
been settled through the wise policy of
President Wilson, ami the tariff question
has been settled by the European war.
"If you will cure Pennsylvania you must
cure it at the source by removing Pen
rose." he asld. "You ask why you cannot
get worktngmon's compensation bills, and
the answer Is Penrose. The same thing
applies to child labor and shorter hours
for women."
Both speakers wore Introduced by Rob
ert S. Bright. Democratic candldato for
Congressmnn-at-Iarge. In Intioducing
Mr. Palmer, ho declared him to be a man
who could give to Pennsylvania the repre
sentation at Washington it has not been
given for many years.

to Dr. Martin O. Brumbaugh, tho Repub
lican gubernatorial candidate, to evpresa
himself as to his attitude on Penroseisn.
He lauded Doctor Brumbaugh as a re
spectable gentleman, but declared Unit
tho former Superintendent of Schools ha 1
been chosen by Penrose because tho latter
realized the people of Pennsylvania want
ed decent lepresentatlnn. He then ox
pressed the opinion that Doctor Brum
baugh. If elected, would not bo able to
dispel the suspicion that he was allied
with Penroselsm.

CRAMPS
NEW CITY HOSPITAL
ON BLOGKLEY'S SITE
-TO COST $6,000,000
Director Harte Describes His
Plan to Substitute Up-to-date
Structure Gradually
for Old Buildings.
Plans for a now Philadelphia General
Hospital to cost 6,rOO,000, to replace grad
ually the time-worn, ramshackle struc
tures of "Blockley," In West Philadelphia,
have been evolved by Dr. B. II. Harte,
Director of the Department of Health nnd
Charities.
The beginning of the gradual replace
ment of the antique Blockley buildings
will be made when tho Jl.OOO.roo Item from
tho proposed $11,300,000 municipal loan be
comes available.
The ultimate plan of Doctor Harte Is
to erect a great municipal hoHpltul of
2000 beds at an approximate cost of $3000
per bed.
Mayor Blankenburg was advised todny
by Director Harto by letter of the pio
Ject by which the transfotmntlon will bo
effected at tho municipal Institution.
t'nder ills broad, compiehcnslve plnn.
Dorter Harte will utilize for humani
tarian purposes the entire tract of 17
ncres at 31th and Tine streets, where tho
long-condemned Blockley now stands.
Culmination of tho project to establish
on tho Blockloy site a modem, thor
oughly equipped municipal hospital, in
accordance with pir&unt day standards.
Doctor Harte polnth out, can bo ac
complished step by step without Inter
fering with the present handicapped
methods of caring for the city's sick,
poor and Insane under the indiscriminate
and congested housing condition that
now exist.
D.ictor Harte has for months been
studying plnn for the complete recon
struction of tho West Philadelphia in
Ktitutlon. He has accepted tho state
ment of Councils that they stand com
mitted to the betterment of conditions
under which the sick of the city shall be
ti rated and will put the project squarely
up to the legMntlvo bodies.
One after another tho decrepit Block
ley buildings will In, torn down, to be
replaced in turn by tho separate units
of the Jfi.non.noo composite structure that
will ultimately bring Philadelphia to the
forefront of cities In the care of Its
sick.
Architectural plans for the final struc
ture have already been roughly drawn
by Philip H. Johnson, under tho dlrcc
tion of Doctor Unite.
The administration building of the new
hospital will front on 31th street beside
the Museum buildings of the University
of Pennsylvania. It will replace the
present old structuro which overlooks the
tracks of the Pennsylvania Railroad.
In tho administration building will he
the c.Necutive nnd clerical forces and
a staff of between CO and 70 physicians.
At the rear of the administration build
ing will be grouped the separate ward
buildings, each devoted exclusively to
the treatment of designated diseases, wllh
e-vcry branch of medhino and surgery
separately, housed.
A building at the centre of the group
of ward units will bo devoted to surgical
work and for special treatment of pa
tients. A lecture hall will uUo be located
In the cential building.
The ward buildings will he three
stories high and upon each will be a
roof garden and open-air convalescent
space, to segregate the convalescents
suffering from each disease and prevent
their mingling with tho convalescents In
the hospital grounds as at present.
Other contemplated buildings are a
dormitory, n house for nurses, store
house, children's section and power
plant.
"We nre now stnrtlng on a new defi
nite policy In th ereectlon of a general
hospital," said Doctor Harte today.
"The project, which will be of ijrcat ad
vantage to Philadelphia, Is based. on com
prehensive plans showing what ought to
be done. We will proceed with the levv
of reaching a definite object a great
medical Institution, modern and advanced
Ir architectural advantages, that will be
the equal, and I hope the superior of
any similar Institution In the world "
Doctor Harte pointed out that the new
hospital will be for the benefit of the
sick and Injured exclusively. The in
digent, now nt Blockley. will be removed
to Holmesburg. and the Insane will be
hcused In the new Home for Fetble
Minded nt Hy berry.
Tubercular" sufferers will be treated In
a separate Isolated building h'urfercrs
from contagious diseases will he treaiid
at the Municipal Hospital, at 2d and
Luzerne ttreets.

however, was made on the condition
that he carry a small sealed packet
to a neighboring king.
"The missionary was so grateful
that, meeting unexpectedly a detach

accompany them to safer territory. The
