Kenyon, of Iowa, Republican, who will demand an Investigation by the Senate Committee on Privileges and Elec tions to determine If largo sums of money were contributed to Penrose's campaign fund by corporations and liquor dealers. Senator Norris will ask that the Norris resolution be favorably reported to tho Senate when Congress convenes In De cember. Republicans of the old school are con fident, however, that the Pennsylvania Senator will have no dlfllculty disproving the charges that a "slush fund" was raised to be used In his campaign for re-election- The charges made by E. A. Van Vnlkenburg, of the Philadelphia North American, will undoubtedly figure In the Senate Investigation.

T.'S PRESIDENT, DROPS DEAD IN CLUB Shock, Resulting From Acci dent, and Heart Disease Believed to Have Caused His Death. CHARLES O. KRUGER Charles O. ICruger, president of the Rapid Transit Company since 1909 and general manager of the company until that year since Its formation, dropped dead nt the Racquet Club, 16th street below Walnut street, shortly after 3 o'clock this afternoon. Mr. Kruger was watching a game of billiards between Eltis Ames Ballard and Mahlon H. Kllno when, without warn ing, he collapsed. Dr. Charles 11. Weber, of 204S Pine Btreet, and another phy sician, who happened to be In the club, were summoned. They pronounced him dend and said that death had been due to heart trouble. Vice President Hamilton, of the P. R. T., left the executive offices of the company in tho Land Title Building with Mr. Kruger and another official of the company shortly after noon today. At that time, according to Mr. Hamilton, Mr. Krugei appeared to be In tho best of health. COLLEAGUES HURRY TO CLUB. Mr. ICruger took lunch at the Racquet Club and then walked into tho billiard room. After his death a telephone mes sage was scut to the executive offices of the company. All the officials hurried over to the Racquet Club. Mrs. Kruger also was notified. Mr. Kruger had been Identified with traction Interests In Philadelphia for the last 21 years. His rise In that time was exceptionally rapid, his first post being secretary and treasurer of the Penn Traf fic Company, since that time he has always been active In transit affairs. In both big trolley strikes In this city Mr. Kruger shouldered severe criticism. Because of this It was rumored that he would be dropped at the time. Several years ago the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company was rehabilitated under the Stotesbury-Mttten plan to put the com pany on Its feet. The rumors came to nothing, however, and Mr. Kruger was retained In the office of president. Mr. Kruger Is survived by Mrs, Kruger and their three children, Charles K. Kruger and the Misses Helen and Eliza beth Kruger. His home Is at Ablngton, Montgomery County. Mr. Kruger was born In this city De cember 14, 1864, and received his educa tion In tho public schools of this city. After working one year with a banking firm he became secretary ot an electric lighting company, then known as the Electric Trust, being a consolidation of all the arc light companies. RAPID RISE IN TRACTION AFFAIRS. He remained at this work until 1886, when he was made secretary and treas urer of the Penn Traffic Company, a cor poration connected with the Cambria Steel Company. Bight years later he became secretary and treasurer ot the People's Traction Company. Since that time the rise of Mr. Kruger in transit affair of this city has been rapid, and he has been looked upon as one of the most able men in this line in the country. In 189 ho became secretary and treas urer ot the Union Traction Company, and three year later he was made seo ond vise president and assistant gen eral managwv Later be Uwist vice president and general manager. When the Phuadelpata, Rapid Transit Company ahtorbed the Union Traction Company, In IWt, be was made secretary, and continued in that olce ucUl things were running smoothly. Shortly after Mr. Kruger was elect! vice president and general manager. In W he was made jueUUt. WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-Belated re-, turns from yesterday's elections show that the Democrats came perilously near to losing .control of Congress. Tholr ma Jorlty may be cut to five in tho House ot Representatives. It Is not yet absolutely certain that they escaped that danger, but the probabilities are that thoy will have a small working majority to support President Wilson In his program. Tho Senate will still be un der Democratic control. According to revised reports received here, tho make-up of tho next House will bo as follows: Democrats gjj Republicans "!!!"!" 204 Pregreislves 1!!!!!!! s Socialist !"""! a Independent !!!!"" 1 Neither Republicans nor Democrat's 'will control the next House, the Republican National Campaign Committee announced this afternoon. "Wo claim the election of 213 Repub licans, four Progressives, one Independ- v... u lvvo oociausts to the next Housa ?. . ....-p.cacuuuives." says the statement, "while the remainder of the seats will be filled by Democrats, 215." Thus, according to Republican head quarters, the Democrats will havo a plu rality of two, but In order to nt n. n,. Jorlty In a full vote It would be necessary for them to have at least the two So cialists nnd the Independent. This situation, it was pointed out by the Republicans, -would probably lead to a most Interesting fight on tho Speaker ship. Tho Democrats may gain five seats in " i me united States Senate. They retained all of their seats nnd are claiming sue cess In Illinois, Kansas, South Dakota. I'tah and California. Tho Socialists have probably elected two Congressmen, possibly three; two In Wisconsin and one in New York city. Meyer London defeating Goldfogle, Dem. ocrat. The Wisconsin results are la doubt. MAJORITY MAY BE CUT TO FTVE. If the Progressives, tho Socialist anS Independent should Join the Republic cans on any Issue before the 64th Con gress, the Democrats would have only; the narrow margin of five votes on which to count.
