Invitation to Independent

la Indorsed
Republican "Reform"
Sialus at a Glance
Independent leaders, ns another
step in their "reform within the
Republican party" movement, issue
nn invitation to independent voters
to participate in the Republican
primaries this year.
Congressman Varo placed his
stamp of approval upon tho call,
snyfrifj that he had always favored
open primaries.
Senator Penrose issues statement
in which he says ho is "in earnest
sympathy" with tho independents'
movement, and pledges his co
operation "in a vigorous effort to
tmprovo local political conditions"
and to bowl out the "political con-,
tractors."
Congressman Varo hits back by
declaring that Senator Penrose has
been separated from contractors
only twice since 1894, in 1906 and
1011, and that he lost "city. Stoto
and nation" in 1905 and 1012.
Senator Penrose refuses to agree
to Mayor Smiths slate of dele-gatcs-at-large
and all harmony
deals are called off.
FUNERAL TOMORROW
Services for Late Member of Com
mon Pleas No. 5 at Church of
St. James the Less
The Republican OrKnnlxatlon In Penn
sylvania today In facing one of the bit
terest factional rights In Its history, with
now nntl unexpected alignments of forces,
as tho result of political developments
since Senator Penrose on Saturday eve
ning unceremoniously bolted the har
mony agreements on delcBntes and the
State ticket a tew hours after they were
made.
Following the publication today of state
ments from Senator Penrose, tho Varcs
and the Independents who are launching
their "reform within the Republican par
ty" movement. It was Intimated that un
less a new harmony agreement were
made, and lived up to, Itcpubllcan State
Chairman William E. Crow would Join
the Vares and Governor Ilrumbaugh In a
Btata-wlde light over every onicc. against
Senator Penrose and his new allies.
The open break within the Organiza
tion ranks followed a statement Issued by
SO leaders of tho Independent forces, In
which the Independents of the city were
asked to participate In tho primaries. The
statement, which s Issued over the
signatures of John C. Winston and Gcorgo
D. Porter, representing the new Porter
Penrose alliance, and a majority of the
financial backers or the laut Independent
campaign, was mild In Its tone.
Congressman Vn,re at onco placed the
stamp of his approval upon tho "call"
issued to the independents, saying that
ho and his brother. Senator Vare, had
always believed In open primaries.
SLAP AT CONTRACTORS.
Senator Penrose fired the first shot
that started arr Immediate tightening of
factional lllnes. by following up tho
statement of the Independents with a
statement of his own, In which ho
pledged his co-operntlon to put nn end to
"a system In which political contractors
could choose the omclals who give out
the contracts and the Inspectors who
pass upon tho work."
Congressman Vare, who' saw In the
Penrpse statement not only an attack
uoorf the South Philadelphia leaders, but
also a possible reflection upon the pres
ent city administration, fired back with
R bitter attack upon the senior Senator.
He declared that Penrose had been sep
arated from political contractors only
twice since U3I, and asserted that on
both of those occasions Penrose lost at
the polts. He defended the Smith admin
istration and blamed Penroso for tho de-
leai or me tcepiiDiican party In 1312.
FIGHTS SMITH SLATE.
The statements and counter-statements
followed a positive declaration made by
Senator Penrose that the "JO-DO" slate of
13 delegates-at-large to the Chicago con
vention, made public on Saturday by
Mayor Smith, Is not acceptable to him.
At the time the list was announced, the
Organization was nearer complete har
mony than at any time since negotia
tions started between the factions for the
approaching campaign, It had been
quietly announced In both the Penroso
and Vare camps that agreements had
been reached whereby a harmony slate
of unpledged delegates was to be elected,
the present four Congressmen. at-Larce
were to be renominated, and both factions
were to support Mahlou M. Kephart. of
ConnellsvllIefor State Trensuier.
The nomination for Auditor General was
to be fought out at- the olls, with the
Vares and the Governor backing Speaker
Charles A. Ambler, and the Penrose
forces supporting the candidacy of
Senator Charles A. Snyder.
Senator Penrose, however, suddenly dis
covered the name of former Speaker
George K, Alter in the "slate" of dele
gates. Apparently he 1iad not agreed to
Alter during his conferences with .Mayor
Smith on Friday and Saturday, and at
once announced that the list was "sub
ject to revision."
The Vares then came back with the
charge that the a. or Senator was forc
ing a factional fight In the face of thtir
efforts to bring about harmony on
"JO-BO" basis, and that the responsibility
for a rupture would rest wltu Penrose.
They then asserted that they had not
agreed to support Kephart.
Senator Penrose countered with the as.
sertlon that no agreement had been made
about the Congressmen-at-Iarge, and said
that this question was still "unsettled."
Tho senior Senator will continue to con
duct his negotiations over the delegate
question through Mayor Smith. It is not
probable, however, that they will get to
gether today. Senator Penrose Is in New
York and the Mayor Is contlned to his
home suffering from a bad cold.
Tribute to the memory of Judge Robert
Ralston, of Common Pleas Court No. S,
who died Saturday night at tho Jeffer
son Hospital from mcnlngltli, was ex
pressed today when all of the five Com
mon Pleas courts, the criminal coutts nnd
the Municipal court adjourned until wcu
nesday out of respect for the tlcnil Jurist
The Judges were visibly affected when
the death of Judge Ralston was officially
announced, and nil united In expressing
their nppreclatlon of his character In re
viewing his career.
tn Common Pleas Court No 1 the dc.iili
was announced by John Hampton Haines
"Judge Ralston was a man with nil of
a real man's virtues and some nf the
faults that belong to a real man." said
Judge Patterson. "Ho was a scholar and
ho was a gentleman without fonr of an
kind. This bar ha3 lost an able lawyer
and tho community an upright citizen. "
I "Judge Rnlston showed nn aptitude Tor
1 expediting the business of the courts that
was remarkable." was Judgo Shoemaker's
' ti Unite. "I do not think lie had a superior
J In the Slnto of I'ennsjrvntila "
In Court No. 2 Piesldcnt Judge Har.
I ratt, who had Known Judge Ralston fiom
boyhood, told of his Intimate acquaint -
J mice with Judge Halstoifs "stalwart
j qualities nnd high chnractcr."
' "He was an advocate or simplicity ami
' practical results." declared Judge Har-
Judge Wcssel said, "Those who know
li!m best were mose Impressed by his
firmness of purpose combined with a
gentleness of nature nnd a determination
to do right at any cost.
Judge Ferguson. In Court No. 3, said:
"This is not the tlmo for extended
eulogy. It Is seldom that proper appraisal
of a man Is. or can be, made Imme
diately after his life's work Is finished.
Though ho may administer Justice with
learning nnd Industry, and servo his com
munity with clean hands and gooil con
science, It Is easy for him to ill op his
work and leave behind u vague memory
that swiftly fades away. Not so will It ho
with the memory of Robert Ralston If wo
arc capable of accurate prophesy."
Judgo Davis paid this tribute: "The
denth of Judge Ralston conies to mo as a
distinct personal loss, knowing him ns I
have for many years as n friend and
companion. Our paths seemed -to have
been In the same direction for many
years, he having had an ofllco In the samo
building."
The practical icsults gained by Judge
Ralston were emphasized by Judge Cair.
In Court No. 4.
Judge Slaakc, in Court No. 3. spokn
feelingly of tho "happy family" of Court
No. 5 broken through tho death. He was
one of tho Inst tu see Judge Ralston liv
ing, he said.
Tho Criminal Courts, In which Judge
Ralston gnlned renown, wero quick to
take action. It was In these courts thnt
he won the notice of the bar associations
throughout the country by his Interpre
tation of homicide laws.
"His Judgments wero exact, logical
and discriminating," said President Judge
Martin, In paying his tribute. "Although
endowed with strength nnd power, ho was
generous, bravo nnd gentle; his hand open
nnd true; his hear: warm, manly and
tender. His honesty, his wit. his dignity,
his knowldge. his wisdom, his simplicity,
his tranquillity made him an honored,
revered and beloved associate."
Simplicity will be the distinguishing
characteristic of the funeral services to
be held tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock
at tho Protestant Episcopal Church of
St. James the Less.
The quiet and absence of demonstration
with which the funeral will he planned is
In accordance with the expressed wish
of Judge Rnlston. Every erfort will bo
made to have the services and Interment
ns nearly private as possible. However. It
Is believed that Judge Ralston's many
friends and luw associates will attend
and the services probably will be crowded.
A tnemorlnl for Judge Ralston from
tho Bar of Philadelphia will be presented
on Thursday afternoon at a meeting of
the Har Association In room 453, City
Hall. Judge William H. Staake, who was
associated with Judge Ralston in Com
mon Pleas Court No. C, made tho an
nouncement of the Bar Association meet
ing. Chief Justice J. Hay Brown, of the
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, will pre
side. Judge Ralston's sudden death was a
shock to his friends. Many believed that
ha was recovering from tho pneumonia
from which he suffered and hoped he
would soon be In health again.
The ofllciatlng minister tit the funeral
services will be the Rev. J. Andrew Har
ris, of Chestnut Hill, who has long been
a friend of the family. The Rev. L. C.

Tho top part of the overalls was torn

have been spotted with blood or ripped In
the struggle with the victim. The gar
ment was dotted with coal dust, and this
has led to the trail of a coal peddler.
Chief of Police Clnrke and County De

The house sets about 1M feet back from

The people of Darby have demanded
that every effort be mado to discover tho
murderer. They declare there hae been
entirely too many unsolved cases In that
section. Chief Clark Is hampered by lack
of men. Ho decided toduy to follow the
citainple of tho hinall communities In

The news from Washington that tho
Wilson Administration Is now icady to
tako Initial steps toward the formation of
n permanent tariff commission, which In
effect will remove the tariff entirely from
national politics and will place future
tariff legislation upon a purely business
and economic basis, was received today,
with general npproval by business and
political leaders In this city.
Nathan T. Folwell, president of the
Manufacturers' Club, and a few others,
however, openly expressed opposition to
any commission which might be named
by President Wilson, or at his direction,
and declared that manufacturers would
have no faith In such u body.
Tho decision of the Administration to
give its approval to the creation of a non
partisan commission Is said to have been
reached after consideration of the situa
tion which will follow the European war,
when legislation to safeguard America's
commerce and Industry will be Impera
tive. Tho duties of the proposed commission
would bo to collect Information and to
co-ordlnato with Congress In framing tar
iff legislation.
BUSINESS, NOT POLITICS.
The view of Philadelphia business men
generally as expressed today Is that the
tariff Justly Is a business matter and
not a political Issue. The period of com
mercial unrest, they feel, will not end
until there Is every assurance that tariff
tlnkerers, serving partisan and not busi
ness ends, are no longer in control. That
the commission should be created under
a Democratic Instead of a Republican
administration, they regard as a minor
consideration.
The group of strong protestations,
beat typified by Mr. Folwell, however,
argues that the tariff cannot be taken
out of politics until the Democrats admit
the wisdom of a protective policy. Imme
diate relief, they contend, should be given
the manufacturers and the appointment
of the commission could follow. If the'
country has to watt for the appointment,
organization Tina report of a tariff commission-
before any relief Is obtained,
several years would be lost, they say,
and irreparable damage would be done In
the meanwhile.
ALBA JOHNSON APPROVES.
Alba B, Johnson, president of the Bald
win Locomotive 'Vtorka and a prominent
Republican) gave his unqualified indorse
ment to the Wilson proposal, Mr, John
bon at the same time suggested that other
Republican manufacturers might not be
fully in accord with his views on the
matter.
"The tariff," he said. "Is a matter of
business and not of politics, I have been
working' for eight years toward the ap
pointment of such a commission vhlch
will proceed on sound business and eco
nomic principles in all tariff revision. If
President Wilson and the Democrats wllj
create the commission, so much the bet
ter; if not, we will hammer away until
we find some one who will,'"
Views similar In tenor were expressed
by Charles J. Cohen, a member of the
board of directors pf the Philadelphia
Chamber pt Commerce, and who retired
from the presidency of that body today
after serving in that capacity for three
years. Mr- Cohen pointed out that com
merce chambers In all parts of the United
States had passed tesolutions recommend
1ns that the tariff be taken from poli
tics. It Is only a matter of sound busi
ness sense, he observed, that business

To meet the .sltuntlon which the railroad
executives believe Is certain to be pio

Although nil the railroads of tho coun

cided to deal with the situation through
it confcience of general mnnngcrs for
each of tho three great districts In which
the railroad mnp Is divided. Each dis

own publicity campaign.
That tho railroads nre convinced they

If the railroads refuse to meet the

With this authorization negotiations
will bo resumed directly with railroad
heads, and no general strike will bo

ENGLAND RAIDED BY AIR
FLEETS OF GERMANY
Continued from Pane One
by largo numbers of people, who knew
exactly where they took place. The
enemy nlrmen wero certainly under no
Illusions ns to their whereabouts. Ucilin
Is no doubt Informed by this time, and In
a day or two, If tho censor permits, we
shall publish nn account of tho locality
from German sources."
The Dally Mull declared the Sunday
raids showed tho folly of believing thnt
I-omlon has been made immune from air
attacks, simply because no Zoppcllns have
attacked tho city for several months.
"The raids on Kent promptly confirmed
Flight Commander Rllllngs' prediction
that aeroplane raids aro apt to become
more dangerous than Zeppelin raids,"
said the Mall.
Some of the aeronautic writers bellcvo
the Fokker was built solely for defensive
purposes and Is incapable of a flight to
London. Others give warning, however,
that the German fighting ship Is probably
well equipped for a quick dash to
England.
Despite tho anxiety felt In London over
recent successes of the new German nlr
Uhlans, correspondents stationed at the
British fiont report that skilled English
aviators have encountered and defeated
the Fokker pilots. In one such engage
ment, the Chronicle's correspondent de
clares a British aviator louted two Fok
hers and a third German plane.

Uncle Sam
Do you, as a woman, know that
the United States Government will
send an agent right into your kit
chen and show you how to cook?
That Uncle Sam has a splendid
list of the best plays and dances for
children?
That he has the greatest book
store in the world, full of books,
which he gives away and sells?
That he has found out which
electric-light bulb gives thegreatest
light for the least money?
That he has prepared the best
reading-courses to be found any
where? That he will teach a girl how to
cook, how to sew, how to nurse and
how to do laundry work?
And all for nothing?
Of course you don't. Few do.
For,oddlyenough,UncleSamhas
no way of reaching his own people.
He has no magazine. That is
he didn't have. But now he has.
He has joined with The Ladies'
Home Journal.
He said: "Here, come and help
me" to get my stuff to the people.
So the magazine opened up a new
editorial office in Washington: The
New York Sun's Washington man
was put in charge, and for the first
time Uncle Sam and the American
woman are going to get together.
Just see the new department "My
Government and I."
