Sheppard Accuses Ollle James of
Using Unfair Tactics.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16. A clash so
sharp that the Vice President had to In
tervene to restore order occurred In the
Senate this afternoon at the opening ot
debate on the District of Columbia pro
hibition amendment.
Senator Sheppard. author of the "dry"
amendment, denounced the tactics used
by Senator James as unfair, but not
more unfair than had characterized the
tactics of all those fighting for the sa
loons. At this point the retorts and
counter-retorts could not be distinguished
above the rapping of Mr, Marshall's gavel.
Open churches as a substitute for the
saloon were suggested by Senator Lane,
of Oregon, who declared that the saloons
ought not be abolished without providing
something in their stead a place for tired

dered why It was that churches were
closed six days a week, while the saloon
was open six days a week and closed

District. Doctor Lane talked at length
on the effects of alcohol on the system.
The use of alcohol never -benefited any

PENROSE PUTS PARTY
PLEDGES FIRST IN
HARMONY PLANS
Senator Refrains From In
dorsing Brumbaugh's Per
sonal Platform in Describ
ing His Attitude.
Senator Penrose, In a statement made
Immediately after his return from At
lantic City, said the Legislature would
"work In harmony with Doctor Brum
baugh," but he withheld assurance of
aid to the Governor-elect's personal plat
form by adding that the harmony would
exist to carry out "party pledges."
This statement, however, was not ac
cepted today by politicians as a real
menace to the new Governor's platform.
They do not consider that by making
the distinction between the party plat
form and Doctoii Rrumbaugh's platform
Senator Penrose has "put It up to Brum
baugh" in any way. The Senator, thoy
pointed out, was elected with the sup
port of tho liquor Interests of the State,
and in every public utterance he has
made since the primaries has discussed
only the party platform, and has not
mentioned Doctor Brumbaugh's personal
program.
The fact that It Is only a mattep of
hours before Doctor BrumbaLgh will an
nounce appointments tended today to
quiet any talk of the Senator's statement
being In the nature of an ultimatum to
the Governor-elect.
The Senator went back this afternoon
to Atlantic City, where he will spend a
few days recuperating from his recent
bronchial trouble, and then will go to
Washington. He will not attend the In
auguration of Governor Brumbaugh.
"I hope that Doctor Brumbaugh will ap
point only good Republicans as members
of his cabinet." he Bald. "That is my
only concern in the matter."
Senator Penrose had no Idea of the pos
sible appointees. He Is of opinion Doc
tor Brumbaugh has not yet made up his
mind as to the personnel of his cabinet.
The Republican organization leaders ap
parently are as much In the dark concern
ing Doctor Brumbaugh's cabinet appoint
ments as every one else except tho Governor-elect
himself. Doctor Brumbaugh
has used his silence concerning, his ap
pointments as a club over the heads ot
the legislative leaders. It was pointed
out today that at the first sign of lack
of harmony with his personal pronram
Doctor Brumbaugh might show fight,
and would probably leave the Republi
can organization "out in the cold" so
far as any principal appointment Is con
cerned. If the Senate fought back, the
appointments could be held up until the
end of the session, nnd then announced
as recess appointments.

At that, the Governor-elect s expected
to spring a surprise In his Cabinet selec
tions. Republican Organization leaders

cal circle for his men. For this reason a

Sunday smash sin and the devil in the
tabernaclo at 19th and Vine streets this
afternoon. Thousands were turned away
for lack ot room long before the hour
for the preaching arrived.
"Billy" preached on "Martha and
Mary," taking for his text tho words: "
"Take yo away tho stone." It was a
strong sermon to illustrate the love of
Jesus for Martha, Mary and Lazarus, and
to show "the sham, tho deceit, the lock
ot faith in God and the neglect of con
tinued efforts to please Him among many
church members."
"Tho trouble with so many people to
day Is that they need a personal Inter- ,
view with the. Lord," declared Sunday,
"Since I have been In Philadelphia I've
seen mothers and fathers working to
save their children. I don't find the
masses hard to reach, I find the Church
of God hard to arouse to reach the
masses."
It was a gripping discourse, intended
to nrouse the people to a realization ot
man's weakness In life. It was one of
the most vital, virllo and dynamic ser
mons Sunday has preached slnco the be
ginning of the campaign.
"Death takes precedence over every
thing," the evangelist shouted. "When

When death comes we'll let the horses
stand still. When death comes wa wiH
leave all wealth behind. It's a good
thing to think about this sometimes.
