RABBIT'S FOOT PROVES NO MATCH
FOR "HEN" FITZGERALD'S HOOIXOO
Good-Luck Charm Carried by Ashcart Driver Fails to
Avert Series of Accidents Nabbed by a
Cop and Locked Up
Good luck 'qualities nccredlted to tho
rabbit s foot failed to offer any protection
today to "Hen" FltZKcrald. a negro, who
Is tho driver of an ashcart for the Depart
ment of Publics Works.
A vigorous nnd malignant hoodoo
"skinned" through tho defense of the
charm which "Hen" bolleved tho little
hairy rabbit's foot cast about his person,
and transformed tho nshcart nnd the
horses which drew It Into agents of de
struction. Considerable property was damaged nnd
tho lives of n score or, more school children
were endangered before the departure of
tho "hoodoo." And worst of all, frun the
ylowpolnt of "Hen," the hoodoo landsd him
In tho lockup, with charges of reckless
driving and cruelty to animals rvglstercd
ngatnst him.
"Hen" noted the nrrlval of ho hoodoo
whon his usually peaceful nagi suddenly
kicked up their heels and backeA the nsh
enrt Into an oxpcnslvo touring car owned
by H. J. Zeltz, of 20th nnd Oxford streets.
Tho car was standing opposlto Zcltz's
homo. Tho automobile wns considerably
damaged nnd nbout three bushels of ashes
were dumped on to the finely upholstered
seats of the machine.
"Hen" was frightened by the damage
nnd ho laid tho whip on the backs of the
horses. It was o Idcnt that this was balm
for the hoodoo for the horses dashed for
ward nnd crashed head-on Into tho sldo
of n northbound 20th street! trolley. Tho
car was crowded with passengers, nnd
somo of them were thrown to the floor by
the collision. In desperation, "Hen"
tugged nt tho reins, nnd tho horses
swcrVcd, narrowly sccaplng running down
n group of school children crossing tho
street. A second later tho ashcart grazed
n pushcart belonging to I. II, Thorn, 2440
Itldge nvenue. Two buys were pushing
tho vehicle and they beat a hasty retreat.
Then tho horses crashed Into n telegraph
polo with such force that they fell dowt
Tho nshcart turned on Its side, spilling
about a ton of oshts on tho pavement.
'Hen was burled under an avnlnncly of
ashes, nnd Just ns his curly head bobbed
nbovo the pile ho wns nabbed by Police
man Marshall, of tho ISth and Oxford
streets stalon,
"Hen" says ho Is going to throw his
rabbit a foot nwny.
The anouncemont of tho presidential
candidacy of Governor Martin O. Brum
baugh which was mado Inst night by tho
Governor, formally opened tho long-threat-ned
factional war for control of the Ho
publican Organization In Pennsylvania,
Th flitht promises to bo one of tho most
I bitter In the history of tho Organization,
I ln(j w extend nil down tho line, from
i battlo for control or mo Pennsylvania
delegation to the Republican Nntlonal
nntlnn to tho Stato tlckot, the Con-
M trrssmen and tho Legislature.
'.,inn!.i Committeeman Henry G. AVas-
lon, frankly said that ho wns casting "his
K?'hat In tho ring" In order to lead tho fight
S'fnr a reunion of tho Progressive element
In the Republican party nnd tho Progres
.ivm wholeft tho party In 1012. Ho de-
f dared war on Senator Penrose by assert
ing that tnoso wno are neiu iu lie ru
tponslble for tho disaster of 1912 cannot,
I am assured by many, bring together tho
broken forces of tho party nnd lend It to
a decisive victory."
PENROSE WILL, REPLY.
Senator Penrose will reply to tho Gover
nor's announcement within a fow days,
h: said. Friends of tho senior Senator
eald today that ho would nnnounco his
own slate of candidates fordolegates-at-
U Urge to the Chicago convention, nnd that

lieutenants, who nro In tho Hold for other
offices to bo decided at tho May primaries.
Tho Senator declined to discuss tho an
nouncement today. Other lcnderx also
were silent. Senator McNlchol said, "X
have no comment to make."
Congressman William S. Varo said: "It
Is needless for mo to mako any comment
at this time. My friendship for Governor
Brumbaugh is .well known nnd I see no
reason why I should say anything. Later
I may have something to say,"
National Committeeman Wasson Invit
ed tho Governor to become a candidate.
In a letter" sent to the Governor a month
go he assured tho Exccutlvo that his
record as Governor of Pennsylvania
makes him tho logical man to end 'the
fight for a reunion of tho Republicans
and the Progressives, and asked tho Gov
ernor to consent to tho use of his namd"
as a candidate for the Republican nomi
nation for President.
Mr. Wasson, In his letter to tho Govern
or, predicted tho disastrous defeat of tho
Republican party this year If men who led
tlio party four yeara ngo again dominate
the convention. A second defeat, he said,
may nut the Republican nartv out of ex.

LONDON, March 13. The Rotterdam
correspondent of tho Dally Mall In n
mall communication sent on March 8, Bays
ho can confirm tho report that tho Gorman
fleet Is proparlng to fight tho British
fleet
Discussing tho reasons for the German
decision to ncccpt battlo nfter refusing
it for ID months, tho correspondent says:
"Without acting on tho theory that If
she losses tho wnr Germany will loso her
fleet. German ntntcsm n tako the view that
If tho fleet Is lost its destruction must
first cosf tho enemy enormous sacrifices.
" Wo German ship Bhall surrender,' "Is
tho unwritten order.
"But tho Germans will not sacrifice
their fleet merely for tho sako of national
sonttment. They will not send their Bhlps
to destruction merely to save themselves
tho humiliation of seeing them towed out
of tho Kiel Canal. Tho German naval staff
Is about to challcngo Great Britain's naval
supremacy because they think they can
deal that supremacy a severe. If not a
deadly, blow.
"Tho Increasing effect of tho blockade,
Internnl unrest nnd tho military menace
of tho Allies undoubtedly havo had nn
Influence on tho naval policy but havo not
decided that policy, only stimulated It."
TO USE SUrERSUBMARINES.
Referring to tho universal belief In Ger
many that terrible woapons ngalnRt the
British navy have been forged, the cor
respondent describes this belief ns fan
tastic. Ho says ho has ground for skepti
cism regarding the reports of 17-Inch
guns, unslnkablo battleships, discoveries In
magnetic power applied to mines and tor
pedoes, and Impregnable floating forts, but
ho believes that the supersubmarlno Is the
Weapon with which Germnny "hopes to
sirme crrectivcly at tho British navy."
"Germany," ho says, "now possesses
submarines of power and displacement un
dreamed of nt the outbreak of tho war.
It Is claimed that theso monster craft can
voyage as far as India Independent of any
aid. In their building1 men havo been kept
at work night nnd day for months. The
best German Inventive and constructive
minds have been employed In perfecting
a hugo flotilla of submarines Fortunate
ly the German marine staff hns faced a
Borlous handicap. They have materials,
workshops and skilled workmen to build
submarines, but not sufficient sailors to
man them.
"The German loss In submarines In the
last few months Is greater than the Ger
man Admiralty cares to confess, They
do not mind the loss of tho boats as much
as they do tho loss of tho trained crws.
With their system of short service the
Germans cannot turn out sailors of first
class quality, especially men called to ex
erclso rare technical knowledge and re
mfirkable physical endurance In tho
cramped chambers of n submarine, Nev
ertheless, crews are being trained speedllv
and efficiently within tho limits of the
uerman war machine "
TO MAKE DESPERATE EFFORT.
After detailed reference to the confi
dence of the German In their fleet'B fu
ture achievements, the correspondent
aays:
"Putting aside sensational press nrtl
cles nn(l Idle cafe chatter, It Is a fact that
In the near future our navy will achieve
Its great desire and the most terrible sea
fight in history will bring tho end of the
war In sight. Germany la preparing a last
desperate tnrow, in which she will employ
all her resources of land, sea and air.
Zeppelins are being built with feverish
speed. The German plan Is to forestall
the Allies and strlkd before our men, guns
and munitions hav achieved a. superiority
that must Insure victory,
"The attack on Verdun Id the prelude to
the lat phase of the world war. A blood
red dawn Is rising. Whole armies will bo
destroyed, mighty Bhlpa will be derelict,
thousands of homes will be devastated In
tho awful tragedy of a great nation rush
ing to suicide."

Sx Can't Afford to
W Buy a Cheap Piano 1
BTRAYER'S
at Bualam 6Jm.
To purchase a cheap piano which
find offered in clubs and at supposedly cut prices
by piano dealers who must offer some special
inducements to sell them (they not being of
sufficient value to sell on their own merit) is
extravagance, not economy.
If you were familiar with the construction
of a piano and what really makes value in a
piano, you would soon realize that the prices
asked for these instruments are far in excess of
their value.
If you have a limited amount to spend for a piano or player
piano, the safest and most satisfactory method is to purchase from
a manufacturer of known reputation, who does not have to conduct
continuous sales in order to sell his product.
We are manufacturers of high-grade pianos. We never make
bargain sales to dispose of our product (except in the case of dis
continued lines and used instruments). We sell to the home direct
at the low price that only a manufacturer could sell, and you will
find our instruments are not much higher than the inferior
pianos sold by dealers at a price that is really high, considering
their value.
Our convenient plan of selling makes it as easy to own a
high-grade instrument of known worth as an inferior one of ques
tionable value.
