hope the good people of Pennsylvania
will not send Penrose back to harass
President Wilson. Very truly,

SNOW REMOVAL BIDS
OPENED NOVEMBER 10
Failure of Councils to Hake Appro
priation Adds to Cost.
Specifications for the contracts for re
moval of snow from the highways of the
city during November and December,
1911, and the first three months of 1915.
are being advertised today by Chief Con
nell, of the Highway Bureau. Bids will
be opened November 10
The city is divided into 13 districts for
removal of snow and contractors are
paid on the work on a yardage basis.
With additional payment for usa of plows
and similar equipment.
Failure of Councils to makn an appro
priation for snow remoal in advance of
tho performance o' the work add" to the
annua cost of this contract, because con
tractors must finance the operations and
usually wait from four to six months
after completion of their contracts for
Councils to pass appropriations reim
bursing them. That failure also serves
to delay the removal of snow from the
city streets.
Because the ar.ount of work necessary
for snow removal cannot be anticipated,
the amount of th sm.w removal appro
priation cannot be dfflritely estimated In
dvanc. To overcome that objection
Chief Concell, of the Highway Bureau,
has eugges'fd that an appropriation be
made by Councils for snow removal with
the provision that any excess after April
1 be applied to repair of 6treets, or simi
lar -work In th Highway Bureau.
By such action rouncits could reduce
tho cost of removing snow from the city
streets and Insure f-.-tra!tors early pay
ment for their work.
CITT MAKES LOAN PAYMENT
A payment of tSO.ono was made today
by City Treasurer McCoach to the
Farmers and Mechanics' National Bank
fiscal agents of the city. This sum meets
the loth series of the 3 per cent mu
nicipal loan of JI.eM.ttX), authorized in
USO, maturing November 1.

Prepared to Defend Egypt Littlo
Hope for Pence.
LONDON, Oct. 81.
Interest in tho Turkish situation is in
creasing in Intensity an tho result of the
failure of the Porte officially to declare
war on Russia.
Despite tho sinking of the Russian gun
boat Dnnets, the damaging of several
other vessels and the destruction of much
property in Odessa harbor, nnd tho other
overt nets by the Tirks reported from
various Rluck Sea points, the Turkish
Government has not assumed official re

fluence his Government to disavow tho
actions of Its warships nnd to preserve
peace by promising an Indemnity. And

"The Grand Vizier today renewed to
Sir Louis Mallet. British Ambassador,
emphatic assurances that Turkey would

by the Constantinople correspondent of
the Reuter Telegram Company under dato
of Thursday.
"The question of sending Haiti Bey.
president of the Chad, on a mission to
Bucharest, Vienna and Berlin has been
considered. His departure is regarded
as imminent.
"Halll Bey has a moderating Influence
on the councils of tho Government, and
It is presumed that his mission will con
sist of endeavoring to convince Berlin and
its friends that Turkey must not depart
from neutrality.
"It Is also anticipated that Halil Bey's
visit will enable him to obtain a truer
appreciation of the situation in Europe,
especially as he will meet In Berlin
Hakkl Pnshn, who has arrived there from
London, and will be afforded an oppor
tunity of comparing notes on the respec

iMPMiilliS
JERSEY LEADERS
CONDEMN PENROSE
STIGMA ON PARTY
Even the "Old Guard" Re
publicans Say That His
Candidacy, in the Face of
Grave Charges, Is Brazen.
Jersey Republican's
Fieiv of Penrose
Senator Penrose will lose the
votes of thousands of regular Re
publicans. He won't get the votes
of those men because they have
self-respect. Penrose as a candi
date is doinp nothing more than
wreck the Republican party, not
only in Pennsylvania, but also in
other parts of the country.
rnou a btait conszsroNDENT
TRENTON, Oct. 31. Irrespective of po
litical belief, tho candidacy of Boles Fen
rose for re-election as United States Sen
ator for Pennsylvania Is looked upon in
New Jersey as tho most brazen campaign
ever undertaken by a politician.
Typical machine politicians whoso
names have been known for more than
n decade In New Jersey's capital con
demn Penrose's candidacy.
Intimate friends of General Edward C.
Murray and ex-Senator John Kean, ter
mor machine Republican "bosses" of tho
mlddlo section of New Jersey, declare
that Penrose should never have Bought
a ronominatlon In view of tho grave
disclosures relating to his political career.
Both Kean and General Murray retired
from politics when public opinion was
against them.
Former machine mon who are now
lined up with the element representing
progressiva Republicanism Insist that
Penrose should never have permitted
himself to becomo a candidate until he
had disproved some of the charges mado
against him.
"POOR POLITICS," AT THE BEST.
JerBoy legislators, representative men,
ataunch Republicans, aro unanimous In
paying that Penrose's candidacy, with
Its stigma. Is at tho best "poor politics."
Now Jersey, especially tho middle sec
tion of President Wilson's home State,
keenly awaits tho climax of the sen
atorial fight In Pennsylvania. Although
Penroso ts not a candidate here, Ills cam
paign la being watched by voters Just as
closely ns though he were a candidate
In the "Garden State."
Penroso's name hasn't been mentioned
on the stump, but his name Is heard
daily in heated discussions In hotels, on
the streets and In political circles.
Persons well Informed on political mat
ters said today that. In their opinion,
thousands of Organization men In Phila
delphia who never fail to register will
scratchfthe name of Penrose on election
day. It was pointed out by political ob
servers that many of tho Organization
voters. In Justice to their families, would
not vote for him.
HIS NAME AS A VOTE-LOSER.
It was also declared that unless Ten
rose was eliminated from tho Republican
party his name alone would always have
an effect In the lo3s of thousands of Re
publican votes wherever elections wero
held within the next few years.
E.x-Governor E. C. Stokes, of Now Jer
sey, who Is now affiliated with progressive
Republicanism, and many who share his
political views upon Penrose's candidacy
with disfavor. Another Republican who
docs not favor the candidacy of Penroso
is Newton A. K. Bugbce. chairman ot
tho Republican State Committee of New
Jersey. Mr. Bugbeo Is a prominent busi
ness man In Trenton. He takes an ac
tive part In civic work, and his deter
mination to bring about clean Republlcun
politics has won him the support and
friendship of leading residents of tho
capital.
"I do not think that It would be fair
for me to express my opinion on the
senatorial fight In Pennsylvania," said
Mr. Bugbeo today when Interviewed in
his ofllce at !03 East Hanover street.
MEN WHO KNEW WHEN TO QUIT
"The Republican party In this State,
as well as in other sections of the coun
try, has been pounded by tho press and
others. It seems that the party was
reprimanded because of certain persons
who were affiliated with It. In New
Jersey thero seemed to be a general sen
timent against General Murray and former
Senator Kean. Both of these men were
splendid types. However, when public
opinion was against them, they retired
and were perfectly willing to sacrifice
their political cureers.
"Although I am not a standpatter, I
bellevo Pennsylvania will be better ofT
with a Republican United States Sena
tor. As for Senator Penrose. I do not
believe that ho Is the sort of man who
should run for that office.
"Senator Penrose will lose the votes of
thousands of regular Republicans. He
won't get the votes of those men because
they have self-respect. Penrose as a
candidate Is doing nothing more than
wreck the Republican party, not only In
Pennsylvania, but also In other parts of
tho country."
"What is the remedy?"
"Tho voters of Pennsylvania had a
remedy at the last primaries, but It
seems that thoy didn't act as they should
have," replied the Republican State
chairman.
"Penrose will not hurt the Republican
vote in New Jersey at the coming elec
tion. The voters here understand the is
sues. It Is in Philadelphia, and espe
cially throughout Pennsylvania, where
there will be a shrinkage In the vote
for Penrose."

Bo they both found themselves In the
soup when they agreed to mnko up, nnd

Player-Piano
The piano itself has those superb tonal quali
ties which characterize all Henry F. Miller
Pianos a tone that endures through a gen
eration of the hardest service.
The Player mechanism, made and installed
in the Miller factory, is scientifically correct
That objectionable mechanical sound is en
tirely eliminated. Greater pedal control and
fewer hand devices make the Henry F. Miller
Player-Piano easiest to operate more re
sponsive to the mood of the operator.
