SCHUYLKILL RIVER RISES
FOLLOWING HEAVY RAINS
Water High In Manayunk Mill Dis
trict, But Causes No Damago.
The Schuylkill River has risen more
than two feel since yesterday, following
tha heavy rnlns which deluged the north
eastern section ot the State. The rain
fall at Reading was 1.6 Inches yesterday,
and, although no appreciable rise In tho
water was noticed above that city, at
Norrlstown It registered a one-foot In
crease. Tho grcateit rise In tho waters was
recorded at tho Flat Rock Dam, above
Manayunk, whero the river rose 16 Inches
during the night, and a foot higher still
this morning. It Is believed the flood
has reached 11b maximum and tho waters
will soon abate. No damago was been
reported cnilsed by tho flood.
The apparent cool weather of today Is
not substantiated by tho actual records
of tho Weather Bureau. There was a
drop In tho tempernturo last night, but
the low figure of C2 degrees Is not at all
abnormal. Tho wenther officials oxplaln
it by contrast with tho humid condition
during tho early hours yesterday. Tho
rainfall for tho month Is a little abovo
normal, being 1.05 Inches; 1 35-100 Inches
has fallen since last Thursday.

FOR PRESIDENCY
Penrose, Barnes, Hilles
and Others Consider
Many Booms in New

Governor's Successful Fight for
Good Legislation Makes Him
Loom Large on Political
Horizon Despite Reaction
aries. Governor Martin G. Brumbaugh, as a
potential candidate for the Presidency,
will be measured through critical eyes at
a conference of the leaders of the Re
publican national organization In New
York city next Monday.
Tills Information came from an authori
tative source today, although some ot the
leaders deny that the meeting, which will
to great extent shape the course of the
1916 campaign of the Republican party,
waa prearranged. It was said merely to
bo "informal,"
Senator Penrose, William Barnes, of
New York; Charles D, miles, Republican
National Chairman j ex-Senator Crane,
of Massachusetts, and a score of lesser
lights ot the-Republican party from the
Kast and Middle West will gather at a
round-table conference to discuss the
strength of the' men whp have sprung
into prominence as posilKJa candidates
for the.party presidential, nomination and
to make a general survey of the plans
for the campaign next year.
'Native sons" will be tested In the
light of crystallized opinion, and among
them the national shadow of Governor
Brumbaugh looms strong:.
Governor Brumbaugh during the. last
few weeks has stood out sharply as' presi
dential timber. Ilia record In forcing the
enactment ot a comprehensive system of
humanitarian legislation through the last
Legislature has given him a national
reputation not equalled by that of any'
other man whose name has been men
tioned In connection with the Republican
nomination for President, The rejuvena
tion ot the Republican party in Penn
sylvania, which nil leadership brought
about, has attracted the support of the
more progressive of the national Repub
lleaa leaders.
The reactionary leaders, it la under
stood, do not take favorably to Governor
Brumbaugh because of the believed aa
tagelm aroused In the ranks of the
largo manufacturers., railroad and liquor
interests of Pennsylvania, which fallowed
the enactment of the child labor and eom
peoeatien laws, the fight for the passago
of a local option law and the veto of tb
