VARES' STERN "CALL"
OF M'NICHOL'S HAND
LOOKED FOR TODAY
Politicians Expect an Abrupt
Demand for "Showdown"
in Republican City Com
mittee Meeting.
Speculation ns to what wn happening
behind closed doors at the meeting of
the Itcptibllcan City Committee, where
State Senators Edwin H. Vare and James
r. McNlchol came together, occupied the
ettcntlon of political circles today.
Rumors of an Impending clash flew
tack and forth, but ihoso In a position
to know were silent and mado no pre
diction!!. The committee met nt noon today. Fol
lowing so closely the report that the
Vares last Saturday demanded action by
I'nlted States Senator Penrose It tho
Js'orth American charge that Vare
helped debauch former Mayor Royburn
were repented, politicians were appre
hensive of a demand by Vare at the com
mittee meeting for n "show-down," the
North American having repented Its
charges yesterday.
Organization men were at work thla
morning trying to discount the generally
accepted belief that the Varo followers
would "knife" Penrose on election day,
with or without orders The statement
of Edwin II Vare that he was a .Re
publican and would "stick" Was being
liioted In an attempt to show that the
Vares would stand in line.
, VARES SUSPECT McNICHOL
This statement, however, was prior to
the sensational action of Congressman
"William S. Vare In rising before the
House of Representatives to a question
of personal privilege and demanding ac
tion by Penrose that would "satisfy the
people" of tho falsity of the North Ameri
can's charges. Close political observers
do not believe Congressman Vare made
this statement without previous agree
ment with his brother
Although Tenrose 13 the first object of
tho attack said to bo brewing In the
Vare ward. MeXIchol I not any more
popular with the followers of the down
town leaders. His attitude on the North
American's charges has served to In
crease the fooling downtown against him.
The Vares have been in fighting mood
since the charges were published JIc
Nlchol has affected to laugh at tho ac
cusations. The sltuntlon Is believed by
many to be ripe for on open breach.
PENROSE NOT POPULAR.
The Vares and their followers have
much to revenge themselves for, accord
ing to leaders In tho South Philadelphia
wards. Their followers have been kept In
line thus far only by tho assertion that
It was not Penrose they were asked to
support, but tho Republican candidate for
tho United States Senate. But Penrose
buttons have never been popular In the
Vare wards and enthusiasm for party has
not gone to the top of tho ticket. Vare
men have balked at Penrose for months
"It's no wonder." said one man who
has been a leader in South Philadelphia
polities for years ' The Vares have had
to put up with even kind of humiliation
from Penrose and McXlchol. The work
ers know all this, and they are waiting
for a chance to get back at Penrose "
Unless sharp orders for the support of
Penrose are Issued within the next few
days, Varo leaders believe, the great mass
of South Philadelphia followers will leave
a. blank opposite Penrose's name on tho
ballots November 3. It will be unnec
essary to pass the word along for the
mine, me memory or ion, when William
. tare was slaughtered by Mc.Vichol
nd Penrose to make way for George H.

her husband had been cruel to her. Ac

Tho womnn declared her husband had

wns while they were discussing this do

It was not until James Smith, a 10-year-old

VARES ALWAYS "STUCK "
Penrose's easy disregard of the Vares
has oeen notorious for jenr.s. The Varo
following, closer and more personal than
that of any other political machine in
the country, has swallowed the Penrose
insults and "stuck" when the Vares or
dered It to. But this year tho Vares
themso'ves are developing a revengeful
disposition and their followers are Jook
ing on gleefully, in anticipation of re
prisal at the polls
A far back as 1901, when Governor
Stuart was the Republican candidate,
Penrose and Mc.Vichol showed perfect
faith In their ahilitj to keep the Vares
In line, despite rebuffs and affronts Since
then the Vares have often had to "stick"
under the brusque disregard accorded
them by Penrose ami McN'irhol. Usually
peace was patched up between the Vares
and the Mc.Vichol men In time to present
a solid front for the Penrose candidates
at the following election.

be fclven a hearing In the Central station
this morning
Kfforts of counsel for the beneficiaries
to Impeach tho testimony of Jules Mau
Jean, star witness for tho contestants,
before the Register of Wills, added a
sensational feature to tho controversy
over tho legality of tho will of John G.
Wutmough, when hearing on the appeal
of the disinherited relatives was resumed
before Judge Lamorclle In the Orphans'
Court today.
Jules, -who for about ten years was Jan
itor In tho curio shop of Mr. and Mrs.
Ferdinand Keller, where Mr. Watmough
was In tho habit of calling nearly every
day, testified before the Register as to
the conduct of the millionaire during
theso visits nnd the relationship between
him and tho Kellers. Jules had also pro
duced what he termed "the yellow paper"
and which purported to be a memorandn
of conversations and actions between Mr.
"Watmough and Mrs. Keller as far back
as 13 years ago.
Tho Kellers, under the terms of the
will in dispute, wero to have the residue
of tho estate. Tho aged testator gavo
tl08,0fl0 to Zalie Faget. a French maid,
and small bequests to other domsetics.
The contest over the will, which i
dated January 6, 1913, was started by
Dr. William Watmough Grier. a nephew.
uuu uuier uisinncnicn relatives, Sir
"Watmough died in,, fall of last year!
Tho contestants ar'-ed that Mr. Wat
mough was a hard drinker, not men
tally capable of making n valid will and
that undue influence was brought to
bear upon him. A score or more wit
nesses In the Orphans' Court have re
pudiated tho accusations relative to Mr
"Watmough's habits.
Taking up "the yellow paper" episode
and the testimony of Jules, the Janitor,
iinunce u. saw, counsel for the will,
and J Hlbbs Huckman, representing the
principal beneficiaries, declared today
they would proe Maujean had commit
ted perjury and hU statements before
the Register and tho so-called memo
randum were nullified by the man's own
confession after the Register's hearing.
CAUvS YELLOW PAPER DCPLORIOUS
Lawyer Huckman took the ttand him
self and testified a mutual frknd of the
Kellers and Maujean had Informed him
Jules, conscience stricken, had admitted
In letters to the Killers, "the yellow
paper" record, which ho testified was
made some 12 or 15 years ago, had In
fact been prepared only a few days or
a short time prior to the calling of the
case for hearing before the .Register.
The lawyer nlso testified Jules wanted
5iroo.x so that he could "go away" after
he had "righted the wrong done tho
Kellers." After these revelations and the
preparation of the "confession," Jules
disappeared nnd the witness did not know
Ills present whereabouts.
In answer to Mason and Edmonds,
counsel for the contestants, lawyer Ruck
man explained nil the transactions he
had with Jples after the latter had "con
fessed" to Mi. Holden, who Informed the
Kellers of the alleged perfidy of their em
ployes Mr Buckman said he employed
detectives to investigate the matter in an
effort to verify every phase of It. Lawyer
Reed Makes Dramatic
Speech in Suit Against
"Trust," Quoting Mag
nate's Remark to Morgan.
An eloquent and dramatic defense of
Andrew Carnegie against tho charge of
the Government that Mr. Cnrnegle was
a conspirator with J. Plerpont Morgan
and the United States Steel Corporation
In selling to It his Interests In tho corpora
tion, to restrain tho steel trade of the.
United States, wnamade today by David
A. Rood, attorney for tho corporation,
when tho Government suit for tho dis
solution of tho Steel Trust wns resumed
before tho United States Circuit Court
of Appeals, in the Federal Building.
In opening his defenso of Mr. Carneglo,
Mr. Reed read the statement made by
Mr. Carnegie to J. Plerpont Morgun on
the day he sailed for Europe, after ho
hnd sold his Interests to the United States
Steel Corporation. Tho statement was:
"Now, Plerpont, I am the happiest man
In the world. I have unloaded this burden
upon your back and I am oft to Europe
to play,"
"This," said Mr. Reed, "ls the evidence
of tho charge of conspiracy brought
against Mr. Carnegie by tho Government
This meeting of Mr. Carneglo with Mr.
Morgan, Is the so-called consplratory
moctlng on which the Government bases
Its charge against Mr. Carneglo. Mr.
Carnegie's purposo In selling his Interests
to tho United States Steol Corporation
wns not to make money, but to rid him
self of the load and dovoto his entire
time to philanthropic work. Mr. Car
negie saw his oppoitunlty to servo man
kind In a way In which no man could
serve nerore. And he roso to this op
portunity most magnificently. To apply
to Mr. Carneglo the appellation applied
to criminals Is unworthy of the Govern
ment." COLTON SPEAKS FOR GOVERNMENT.
Hnrry E. Colton, who Is associated with
former Secretary of "War Dickinson in
representing the Government In Its dis
solution suit against tho United States
Steel Corporation, held the ear of tho
court for more than an hour beforo
David A. Reed took the floor for de
fendants. Mr. Colton devoted his entire time to
tho subject of prices and tho alleged
maintenance of uniform prices of steol
products for long periods after the for
mation of the Steel Corporation. Mr. Col
ton charged that tho uniform prices main
tained by tho Steel Corporation and In
dependents was one of the results of tho
Gary dinners which wero attended by a
majority of tho iron and Bteel magnates
of this country.
Mr. Colton endenvored to prove tho wit
nesses tho Government has called and
the documents it has presented showed
clearly tho United States Steel Corpora- I
non assumeu tne lead in prevailing upon
Independents to co-operate In keeping up
prices. In reply to the argument of tho
defense that prices of steel have not
remained uniform during the past few
years, Mr. Colton said the Steel Cor
poration had begun to reduce prices soon
after the Government had filed Its suit,
but that this reduction lasted but a brief
time, prices again rising to a uniform
schedule.
Mr. Colton also endeavored to prove
that the prices quoted by the Iron Ago
tended to show that prices were main
tained uniform, by citing tho prices in
the Carnegie prlco book, which, he said,
were Identical with those quoted by the
Iron Age.
Mr. Colton said the defense did "n
most outrageous thing when they quoted
prices that obtained in October. 1911. the
very time the Government Hied Its peti
tion." "Tho Government does not contend,"
said Mr. Colton, "that since the Stanley
Investigation tho directors of the Stet-1
Corporation hav dared to effect combl
Governor Signs Lease for Apartments
on Bpruco Street.
Recont reports that Governor Tener
will mako his homo In this city nt tho
end of his term were confirmed today
when ho signed a lease for an apartment
on Spruce street.
Governor Tener said that while ho ex
pected to spend much of his tlmo in
Philadelphia, he would still consider
Chnrlerol his legal residence. He paid a
high tribute, to tils old acquaintances in
that Wnshlngton County town, whom he
characterized ns "my best friends."
Ho said tho report that the headquar
ters of the National League would be
removed from New York to Philadelphia
was without foundation.
He would not discuss tho subject of
politics, except to remark "I shall take
an Interest In Pennsylvania politics; Just
how active I cannot say, except that I
always hope to bo In a position to help
my friends and ndvocato such principles
as I know are right."

Mr Colton ridiculed the contentions
of the defense as to the volume of
Chilian and Cuban ores available for
the use of the steel companies of tho

Chilian ore was imported into thl coun

On the question of Cuban ore, Mr.
Colton averred the facta show that there
are in southern Cuba about 10,000,000
tons of good ore There are in the
northern part of Cuba between 2,000,000
and 3,000,000 of ore, with only about 33

Kmlon Hnro Miller, a brother of th
dend man, went to Kenosha after th
body had beon burled and had It dlln
terred. It Is believed tho family Is plan
nlng a doublo funeral, as tho mother of
tho dead man died a month ago at Naples,
Italy, where sho was continuing the
world-wldo search for her son.
E. Spencer Miller, Jr., a brother of the
dead man, started for New York today
to meet tho Carpathla, on wlch anothor
brother, Dickinson Miller, Is bringing
back tho body of their mother. Mr,
Milter declined to make any statement
this morning. Ho said tho question of
a double funeral does not concern the
public
Mr. Miller said ho did not believe hit
bothor was mentally deranged when h
left homo. Ho ls not prepared to say
that his brother met with foul play, but'
may discuss the possibility of such being
tho case when tho family Is reunited.
Services for Mrs. Miller and her son
probably will be held nt tho family home
and the Rev. Dr. David M. Steele ls ex
pected to ofTlclate.
The Rev. Dr. Carl E. Grammer, of St.
Stephen's Church, spoke In high terms
of tho young man's musical talents. He
sold that two compositions of Miller,
"When Morning Gilds tho Skies," and
"An Evening Hymn" wore of such char
acter that be often asked Miller to have
them published.
Every effort was made at Kenosha and
at Chicago to keep secret tho Identity'
of tho dead man, according to dispatches?!
Tho name of Emlen Ilaro Miller was dls-'
covered only by accident. He carried a
letter signed by Director of Public Safety
Porter. It Is said, when he reached
Kenosha. Tills asked that his buslnesi
be regarded as strictly confidential".

In whoso home Miller boarded, Is quoted i

something odd about the musician. Mor
gan and his family did not believe that
his right name was Freeman, as they
saw the name "Selden" on some of hil
jewelry.
Officials of the Italian Government
wero enlisted In the search for tho mutl
clan by his family. After the studio
nnd conservatories here and In New
York had been thoroughly combed foK
lowing hl3 disappearance, Dickinson Mil
ler, Selden's brother, went to Florenes
in tho hopo of finding him at the Miller
villa, near that city.
All efforts to locate him In Italy proved
futile. It was Intimated at various tlmei
that tho family knew his whereabout!,
and, nccordlng to tho Milwaukee man
with whom he boarded. Miller had been
treated at a sanltnrlum there. HU
friends attributed his disappearance to
a nervous breakdown due to close appli
cation to his musical work.
Miller was Intorim organist at one of the
city's largest churches at the age of 11
years. His father, E Spencer Miller, was
a noted member of the I'hlinaeipnia oar.
At tho nge of 15 years young Miller wai
made regular organist at St. Luke's.
His teachers were Louis Forman, Benji
