AIDS REPUBLICAN HARMONY
The appointment of Mr. Brown and Mr.
Woods has considerable bearing on the
political situation throughout the State,
and should strengthen Republican har
mony In preparation for tho presidential
election In 1916.
In the appointment of Mr. Brown the
Vares become a stronger power In State
politics. The appointment of Mr. Woods
almost completely eliminates the Oliver
faction from a place In Republican State
councils, and. Incidentally, tends to clear
the situation In Allegheny County, where
there has been discord for many years.
The Penrose-McNlchol faction won only
a partial victory In the naming of Mr,
Woods by Dodo Brumbaugh, although
the new Secretary of the Commonwealth
Is a Penrose-McNlchol man. The ap
pointment was personal, more so than
that of Mr. Brown, whose selection was
also personal on the part of the new
Governor.
SURPRISE" FOR PENROSE FORCES.
The Penrose-McNlchol forces had been
expecting that Doctor Brumbaugh would
name Mr. Brown, although the new Gov
ernor himself had never Intimated whom
he would select, nnd they let It be known
that tliey would be content with the Sec
retary of the Commonwealth. For that
purpose they strongly urged the reap
pointment of Robert McAfee, and during
tho past two days Increased pressure was
brought to bear upon Doctor Brumbaugh
to bring this about.
In order to take no chances, however,
tho Penrose-McNlchol forces sent In the
name of W. Harry Baker, secretary of
the Republican State Committee, for the
place, In the hope that If the new Gov
ernor did not name McAfee he would ap
point Baker.
They were completely surprised at the
appointment of Mr. Woods, whose name
had never been mentioned In connection
with the place.
The appointment of Mr. Hlatt was pure
ly a personal one, and was made by the
new Governor In recognition of the man
ner In which Mr. Hlatt. as secretary of
the Brumbaugh Citizens' Committee, han
dled Doctor Brumbaugh's campaign.

WEDDING RING REVEALS
GIRL'S MARRIAGE SECRET
Discovery of Gold Band by Mother

A gold wedding ring accidentally dis

rett, of 5012 Lulow street, had eloped' to
Elkton, Md., on August 20, where she be
camo tho bride of Joseph S. Ritchie, of
3325 North 20th street. Mrs. Rltchlo
Is 20 years old nnd her husband Is one
year her senior. Both nro well known In
this city.
Mrs. Ritchie guarded her secret care
fully slnco last summer, and even her
mother failed to suspect that she had been
married. When her wedding ring was
discovered she tried to overcome her
mother's suspicions, but flnnlly confessed
that sho had been a bride slnbo summer.
"When do you expect to get married?"
said Mrs. Ritchie's mother to her today,
as she and her daughter were looking
over the contents of the bureau.
"We haven't decided yet," answered the
young bride a moment before the telltale
geld band was brought to light.
The only objection tho bride's parents
had to the wedding was tho youth of -their
daughter and her husband. Rltchlo Is
well known ns an athlete nnd baseball
pluyer, nnd for several years has been
manager of the Atlantic Refining Com
pany's baseball team,

ing to Save Wife.
Thrilling rescues of n 15-months'-old
baby and a woman marked a fire In the
tailor stoie and dwelling of Hyman Carp,
2211 South 11th street, early this morn
ing. The blaze started from an over
heated stove and caused damage of about
$500 before It waa extinguished.
Carp was aiouseil by the shouts of
pedestrians, who discovered the fire and
smashed the first-floor windows of his
home to awaken him. Dljcctlng his wife
to follow him, Carp lowered himself as
far as possible from a second-story win
dow, with his baby In his arms, and
dropped to the sidewalk, escaping unhurt.
Mrs. Carp failed to appear nt the win
dow, and Carp became worried. He
turned the Infant over to a neighbor nnd,
dodging firemen at work on the blaze,
went back Into the house. The firemen
found him a few minutes later overcome
by smoke In a second-story rear room.
He was revived by an ambulance surgeon
In the street.
In the meantime Mrs. Carp, who had
packed up some valuables, had escaped
to the roof through a trap door. She was
seen by firemen and carried down a lad

SUNDAY COULD CHASE DEVIL
INTO HUDSON, SAYS MINISTER
Albany Clergymen Have Spirited
Argument on Evangelist.
ALBANY. N. Y., Jan. 13 "If you like
tho kind of hell 'Billy' Sunday Is yell
ing about, why don't you preach It in
your own church nnd use tho kind of
language Sunday uses," asked the Rev.
J. V, Moldenhauer of the Rev. J. Ad
dison Jones, when the latter advocated
bringing Sunday to Albany at a meet
ing of the Albany Ministerial Associa
tion. "I don't preach the kind of hell that
Sunday does In my church, because I
don't have, to," answered Dr. Jones.
"I wouldn't even listen to Sunday,
considering the kind or language he
uses," Interpolated the Rev. E. R. James,
of Renshelaer.
But the ubiquitous "Billy" found his
defenders, among them being Dr. Jones,
who believed Sunday to be "Just the
man to chase the devil into the Hudson
River."

BAKERS HELPLESS
WITH 5-CENT BREAD
PROFITS VANISHED
'Little Man," Nervously
Watching Wholesalers
and Gamblers, Threatens
to Quit Baking.
The small baker of Phllndelpliln, be
tween the iIpvII nnd the deep blue sen,
Uncertain whether to rnlse the price of
his bread, whether to suffer n temporary
lo'o In selling It at the usual price of
6 cents, or whether lo stop baking al
together nnd wall until the crisis pause,
Is In a quniuliiiy tudny such ns hr has
never boeii In bcfoir.
From Kensington to West Philadelphia
the little man Is waiting to sec what
the big wholunnlc people nie going to do,
nnd these In turn nrp keeping an rngle
oye on tin- speculators. One nnd all they
decl.ire that. In race of tho piesont un
precedented situation. B-ccnt nnd tvcn -cent
lueiid would be Justifiable.
YrMcrdny Frederick Mrlximr, nt 4MI
Springfield amue. announced that he had
raised the price to G rents, icsnidlcsH or
public opinion, uml today Mrs. Charles I
I'luistinnr, .( ,ns n 1 iiKcahop nt JE4'l
Wpoiilnnd avenue, said with tears In her
volet that she, too would be foiced In n
day or two to take this. step.
"The baker simply cun't Inuko n living
on B-cent oread at the piesent price of
flour, and onl those can continue to sell
at that prlco who have a largo slock of
flour on hand.' she snld.
"If the price of menl goes up nne-halr
cent the butcher does not hesitate to
rnlso his price several cents the pound,
and yet when the baker ilocs the same
thing n howl goes up on all Bides.
Something has got to bp done to keep
the price of Hour down. The Piesldent
ought to bo made to take some step
to keep the wheat In this country.
"CJl'ITS BAKING BREAD."
Unable to bako bread at E cents a loat
nnd fearing to raise his prices, Louis
Wcller, a baker of 30th street ond Hunt
ington avenue, declared this morning that
ho had 'quit linking bread until the
cloud passes over."
"I simply can't continue to lose
money on It. nnd so I've Just stopped,"
he Bald. "I'll stmt up when things be
gin to look bettei."
According to Mrs. M. Kctchum, secre
tary of the Richmond Soup Society, tho
situation In Kensington looks umlnuus.
"lively year," she said, "durliiK tho
season that the soup house Is open, we
give away 300 to 500 loaves of bread dally,
nnd never heforo have I had any diffi
culty In getting n contract. Hut this
year I cannot got one, because the whole
sale dealers are afraid to tie themselves
up, not Knowing Just how things nre go
ing to turn out.
"Futthermore, I have always been able
to get f loin a philanthropic dealer .1
pound of biead for three cents. Now ho
charges me 3 cents for '4 of a pound. The
outlook Is very dark for the pour peo
ple dependent pn us."
In the opinion of Frank Welgcl, of 2127
Kensington nvenue, tho bakers of Kens
ington will cither have to lose money or
go out 1 of business; they cannot get a
lilghcr pi Ice from the residents of that
district.
CAN'T RAISE PRICE IN KENSING
TON. "The people must have bread," said he,
"and they can't pay moro than S cents,
so we'll have to be content with little or
no profit out here. The bakers of more
well-to-do neighborhoods will undoubted
ly raise, and some of them have already,
their prices: but we out hero cannot."
That the retail bakeis nre entirely Jus
tified In tho stand they nre taking and
that they can do nothing else was the
gist of a statement made today by W. It.
Jones, of he Samuel Bell Co., Hour mer
chants. "Flour has advanced from 40 to CO
per cent, with tho demand from the
war zone," ho said, "and the bakers
will have to raise their prices. This may
be very hard on the poor people of our
country, but It will have to bo borne.
Thoro arc 33,000,000 agriculturists In the
United States today and this Is their big
opportunity; we cannot blamo them for
wanting to take advantage of it. This
Is their one chance, and I do not see
how anything practical can be done to
prevent their taking advantage of It."
