fEWtOSE TO DECLARE
WAR ON BRUMBAUGH
AT PITTSBURGH TODAY
Senator Expected to Indicate
His Plan of Campaign to
Defeat Governor's Designs
by Booming Knox
ISSUE SQUARELY DEFINED
Snyder for Auditor General Against
Ambler or Any Vnrc
Candidate
Senator Boles Penrose will probably de
clare war before nightfall on the recently
announced plans of Governor Rrumbnugh
with n statement today nt Pittsburgh.
Where be and the Governor will attend the
cornerstone-laying ceremonies of Ibo Clty
County Building.
Senator Penrose will opposo the Gov
ernor's effort to control the Pennsylvania
delegation to the Chicago convention by
declaring In favor of the election of unln
xtructed delegates, This was niado plain
ta several hundred Republicans from west
ern counties who called upon htm today
and last night
U was accentuated In it speech by Sen
ator Gcorgo T. Oliver last night nt a
luncheon nt the Duquesne Cluh, In which
Mr. Oliver declared that there cnuW bo
no sincerity behind the candidacy of either
the Governor or Senator Penrose for the
presidency. If n Pennsylvania!! was to bo
considered In connection with that great
offlco, he Bald, Philander C. Knox stood
out prominently as Pennsylvania's offer
ing, but ho nrgued that the delegation
should not bo Instructed even for Mr.
Knox,
PENROSE'S PLAN' OK CAMPAIGN.
Thcso additional facts hao developed
jturlng the long scries of conferences held
ty Penrose nt Pittsburgh :
That ho will make war upon tho Gov
ernor's plans, Including State olllcers and
delcgates-at-large, and from tho congrcs
nlonal districts proposed by the Vure
BrumbaUgh combination.
That B. Y. Babcock and D. L. Gillespie,
nf this county, will appear upon the slate
it Pcnroso dolegntes-nt-largo If they arc
willing to go Into a tight with the Penroso
forces, nnd that he wants State Chairman
W K. Crow to stand as a candidate fjr
dolegate-at-large.
That he will stand by Senator Onirics
A, Snyder, of Schuylkill, as a candldare
fcr Auditor General ngalnst Charles A.
Ambler or any other candidate for th.s
.office that may be suggested by the Gov
ernor and his allies.
Developments Indlcntcd today that the
Governor certainly cannot depend upon
any support from Senator George T.
Oliver In n light based on the Governor's
own presidential candidacy : that he has
little reason to count upon any assistance
or tho neutrality of State Chairman W. H.
Crow and probably less reason to llguro
thnt Congressman W. V. Grlost, of Lan
caster, Is cither nn ally or a neutral. All
three had been figured more or less as
neutrals or allies of tho Governor anil as
either they would have been distinct
losses to tho Penrose organization.

HALL' FAKE FOlt MINISTERS
P. R. K. Extends Reduction to Cler-.
gymen in Interstate Traffic,
Resuming Former Practice
The Pennsylvania Railroad, after a
lapse of two years, has again resumed its
sale of half-fare Interstate passenger tick
ets to clergymen.
This moans that a clergyman may travel
from ono point within this Statu to any
point outside the Stnto at half fare, or
from any point outside the Stnto to any
point within for half fine. No tickets
for points within the Stnte, however, will
bo sold nt the reduced rate on account of
u prohibitive State act.
Until the change was made by the Penn
sylvania Company. It wus nceessary for
clergymen to go to some other State In
order to avail theniselvos of t'to privilege,
because a law. enaeteil In this State two
years ago. prohibited tho Issuing of this
class of ticket.
On the Pennsylvania lines tickets may
bo bought ns far West as Chicago and
St. l-oiiis, and from these cities no dilll
culty will bo experienced in extending tho
privilego wherever clergymen may wish to
go. The Pennsylvania adopted this class
of ticket In IS72 feir all points east of
Pittsburgh. Tho matter wus brought to a
head hero by George I 'alias Dixon, vlco
president of the Pennsylvania Railroad. In
order to meet the competition of the Krlo
Railroad. The point rahed was that with

"GIRLS WHO WOULD
STAY PRETTY SHOULD
BECOME SECRETARIES"
Advice of Business College
Heads, Who Sny Good
Jobs Are "Going
Begging"
WAGES ARE HIGHER, TOO
fJIrls who would be pretty nnd stay
pretty, nnd be perfectly satisfied with life,
should become private secretary to some
business or professional man. This is the
advice of vocational school experts of this
city. They sny that such positions are
"going begging" because of the dearth of
young women trained for such work.
Wngc.i are higher than ever before, nnd
there were never such signs of prosperity.
Ihcy say. All agree that the heaviest do
maud Is for thn private secretary, or high
class stenographer, the two being often
Identical.
Thirty requests a day for trained girls
add young men are received by the Hanks
ttuslness College, according to Arnold M.
lilttyd, sect-clary of the college, nnd Mil
ton R Klmirfer. of Temple University,
said today that 50 reqiiestK for steno
graphers had been received by that Insti
tution In thn last in days.
"The demand is unprecedented : wo
can't llll the orders," said Mr. Stauffor.
"Mveii Incompetent stenographers are In
demand nnd ran secure places easily. The
average salary of n girl stenographer,
who has had six years' experience slnco
leaving our college. Is t'ri.M a month.
The starting wage Is much higher now
than forim ly."
Mr. Lloyd said that the Hanks College
Is deluged with demands for both young
men and young wenieii with any kind of
business training.
"of course the higher secretaryships de
mand experience, and so I only recom
mend for these places those of our gradu
ates who have held other positions," said
Mr. Lloyd. "There is a great difference
between wages now and foimerly. Time
was when either a boy or girl was eager
lo snap up a S:i-a-week salary for tho
chance to wedge in; now 5S. $!l and $10
salaries are waiting for beginners."
L. II. Aloffelt. director of the Pelrce
School, said that "becoming private secre
taries preserves girls' beauty and keeps
them from growing old." Ilo drew a con
trast between this vocation and teaching
school, which, ho said, two-thirds of tho
girls who must work for a living prepare
for. Tho latter, ho said, causes them to
ago mnio rapidly.
It is mini some times to place book
keepers, but there Is never any trouble
with stenographers, and girls with an
aptitude for the work of u private secre
tary are always In demand," said Miss
I-Jvn Young, vice president of Ktrnyer'H
Uusiness College. "All we can do Is to
pray for them to come; there aro moro
jobs open than we can possibly llll."
All the vocational school experts agreed
that a high school education was neces
sary for a girl to pet one of the higher
positions as private secretary.
"JIM CROW" BISHOP
NOT DESIRABLE
Conllnneil from rare One
change or alter any part of the rule of
our government so as to do away with
episcopacy, nor destroy the plan of our
Itinerant general superintendent)', but
may etcct a bishop or bishops for work
among particular races and languages, or
for any of our foreign missions, limiting
their episcopal jurisdiction to tho same
respectively."
"HACK PRKJUDICR"
The first man to oppose the ratification
SVas tho Row Hr. Prank P. Parkin, who
said :
"I am a friend of tho colored man and
rccoguUo that all mun aro equal, but
nevertheless 1 recognize also that there
e.ilsts u race prejudice that cannot be
overcome'. Although a colored man with
u sUlllclent number of votes could become
u bishop over our general conference,
wc know that wo would not allow such a
thing to happen, and If It did happen you
know and I know that our organization
would be disrupted.
"1 am In favor of a union of the Metho
dist Uplscnpal Church and the Methodist
Kptscopal Church South, but I favor draw
ing a color Hue. 1 do not favor a Jim
I'ruw bishop. When race prejudice is
obliterated and there Is a colored man
big i-uougii to undcrtnko the work I would
bo In favor of voting for lilni as a bishop
at the General Conference, llut that time
has not yet arrived.
"Wo are playing into the hands of
church politicians when we sny to tho
negro delegates at the Central Conference
you vote for our whito ciinTlldate and we,
in turn, will vote for your colored dele
gate.' It is hypocrisy, and you know it.
.Such an attludo does not hnuteu federation
but delays it."
AGAINST "HYPHi:NATi:S."
Scarcely hail tho Rev. Doctor Parkin
concluded his remarks when a dozen of
the ministers jumped to their feet, claim
ing tho lloor. Illshop Kerry, who was
presiding, recognized tho Rev. Dr. C. M.
Uoswell. who was elected yesterday as
head of the delegation to tho General
Conference at Saratoga Springs In May.
He said hu was not in favor of "hyphen
ated" bishops, and believed that tho mo
tion should bo voted down.
The next man recognized was tho Rev.
Dr. G. II. Ui kley, who said he was In
favor of the nmondment. "We aro satis
lied with white supervision, nnd we as
sume that the colored people aro also sat
isfied with It. Hut Just as we havo racial
ambition and pride, so has the negro race,
and I am In favor of waiting until a man
of sultlcient calibre to lead his race Is
found and then giving them a leader of
their own kind."
PLKA FOR CHANGK.
The Ilev. Cornelius Hudson then claimed
the lloor and announced that ho wae
strongly In favor of adopting the amend
ment. "Why not give the country which Is
rapidly becoming Christian, a man of its
own race?" he asked. "If wo do not,
what occurred In Japan will transpire in
all our foreign fields. A bishop of their
own race will reclaim the heart of these
races quicker and more effectively than
one of us could, ever hope to do."
The Rev. D. U McCartney also ex
pressed himself as In favor of the princi
ple that every race should have Its own
bishop.
The Rev. Dr. Bosweil tried to claim the
floor again, but was voted down on a
point of order. The Rev. Dr. Alpha O.
Kynett said that it would be a dangerous
thing to have a negro bishop appointed to
care for the negro race. lie said that
the conservative element among that peo
ple is not yet ready to trust a negro with
such a responsibility. The discussion was
continued with vigor for more than three
quarters of an hour.
STRONG STAND AGAINST LIQUOR
Indorsement of the stand taken by the
State, city und newspapers against liquor
was made in the annual report of the
Rev. It. K. Johnson, of the Permanent
Conference Temperance Society. In part,
he said:
"We oommend Governor Brumbaugh for
his stand on the local option question,
and hall with delight the action of Mayor
Smith and Director of Public Safety Wil
son in issuing orders which eliminate
drinking intoxicating liquors In the police
and other departments of the city gov
ernment We also heartily commend the
Pimuo Ledoeh and Evemixo Ledger
and other papers within the bounds of
our conference that have excluded all
liquor and dangerous drug advertisements
from their columns."
Tie reading of the report was followed
by an aadreas by ex -Senator jyanlt O.
Cannoa, of Ulna, who uttered ft visvroua j
Protest ngalnst the growth of Mormonlsm
In this country.
MORMON1SM DENOUNCED.
"Mormonlsm must go," ho declared. "It
Is arf nllen kingdom, set up In our Re
public. The.polygamist, Joseph P. Smith,
carries his Mormon harem from ocean to
ocean without restriction. Only In the
proud United States Is this curse allowed
to grow nnd fester unrestcalnod. The time
has come when all the church should nrlso
and wipe out this evil."
A resolution was ndopted putting tho
confcrcnco on record ns favoring efforts
of the National Reform Association In
Its bnttlo against Mormonlsm.
The Rev. Dr. tj. Hlckley Hums was
elected second rcservo delegate to tho
Genernl Conference nt Saratoga Springs,
N. V., In May.
The annual report of the trustees of the
conference was rend nnd the election of
tho following members for tho coming year
was confirmed: The Rev. Jacob H. Hughes,
the Rev. J. R. Taylor Gray, the Rev.
Arthur Oakes, tho Rev. Samuel W. Gchr
ett. tho Itov. John D. Mnrtln. the Rev. C.
Edgar Ailamson. the Rev. tl. Hlckley
Hums and tho Rev. Robert H. Crawford.
The Committee on .Memorials to tho
General Conference wns appointed ns fol
lokiJ: The Rev. W. Gray Jones, the Rev.
Charles W. Green, the Rev. Robert H.
Crwafonl. tho Rev. N. II. Masters nnd tho
Rev. William II. Smith. An amendment
proposing veto power for bishops was
crushlngly defeated, by a vote of 107 to 7.
SERVICE KOIt CHILDREN.
A children's assembly In tho Sunday
school room of St. James' Church was
conducted by the Rev. J. II. Roycr, the
Ilev. W. Q. Hennctt and the How John C.
Hlcrl. who used blackboard and object les
sons to bring the force of their remarks
home lo Hie young people. Tho Rev.
Charles Roads brought the service to a
close with a Hlble drill.
At I o'clock tho Rev. Dr. C. M. Hoswcll
conducted the Pentecostal Service at St.
James, ami nt S o'clock this evening tho
Conference Tcinpoiiilico Society will nlso
convene at St. James' for Its annual meet
ing. Thero will he addresses by tho Rev.
Dr. Clarence True Wilson, general secre
tary of the Temperance Society, and by
Wayne II. Wheeler, nttorney for tho Na
tional Antlsalooii League. There will bo
music by the double chorus choir of the
"Seventh Street Church."
Several new bishops will also be elected,
und II is thought probable that ono of
the seven ministers elected to attend tho
conference yestenhiy will he chosen to one
of Ihesi' nfrices. The Rev. Dr. Charles M.
Hoswcll, 40 South filst street. Is already
being suggested as a probable choice.
MARQUIS, CALLED FAKE
BY PARIS PAPER, FOUND
LIVING AT BELLEVUE
Declares lie's a Belgian Noble
man and Says "Exposure"
Is Positively
Absurd
WEDDED LOCAL WOMAN
Marquis d'Eskcns do Kreuoys, or Mar
quis de Krenoys, who, according to an
articlo printed im tho Renaissance, a
Paris journal, Is an Impostor and a Ger
man of no tltlo and doubtful history in
stead nf a Hclgian nobleman, wns found
In this city today at tho Uellevuo-Strat-ford.
Before the war tho man was known
all over Paris, and especially In theatri
cal and linanclal worlds. Some time be
fore tho war he came to Philadelphia,
and for more than a year he has been oc
cupying a suite of two rooms on the 12th
lloor of tho Hellovuo-Stratford, where ho
was found today.
Tho Reualssanco charges that his name
is simply Franz Eskeus, that be was
bom In Prussia, from where he was
forced to lice, leaving a baby girl, that
ho came to America where he worked as
a butler and valet in u wealthy family
and that be later marlred a widow much
older than himself.
The Marquis was found as ho was
leaving Ills suite rooms 122S and 1227.
When confronted with tho churges con
tained in the Renaissance, he waved
them aside exclaiming
"Absurd, positively so absolutely too
ridiculous to permit of discussion."
"Who was your father?" he was asked.
"My father," replied the "Marquis,"
"was the Marquis Gaston."
"Was he a Belgian nobleman?"
"He was." said the "Marquis" briskly.
"I really don't Intend to go Into this
thing. Town Topics carried a similar
articlo some tlmo ugo, and 1 simply
Ignored It."
Tho "Marquis" appears to bo about CO
years old. Is of medium height and rather
stout. Ho has gray side whiskers. To
day ho was wearing a black derby, a
conservative dark suit and a long over
coat with a lambskin collar. Tho coat Is
given a military aspect by several largo
frogs of black braid down the front.
MARRIED LOCAL WOMAN.
The Renaissance charges that tho first
wife of tho Marquis died in misery after
lie had left her. Before her death sho Is
said to havo become a vegetablo seller on
th streets. Tho Marquis according to the
records here married a Philadelphia
woman, the daughter of Edward Roberts.
She died at the Bellevue-Stratford on
May 28, 1015, at the ago of 80. Accord
ing to the records of tho undertaker, U.
R. Rrunghurst, the woman was suffering
from purulent cystitis, combined with old
age. Sho was burled from tho Hellevue
Stratford on May 31. Burial was In
West Laurel Hill Cemetery.
Her name was given as Mary Roberts
de Krenoys. She was related to Mrs.
Howard Roberts, or 215 South 16th street.
In Paris, according to the Renaissance,
the Marquis maintained a line establish
ment on the Avenue des Champs Elysees,
one of the finest and most aristocratic
thoroughfares In the city. He subscribed
$40,000 to the expenses of producing "Par
sifal" at the Opera House In Paris, and
this was taken, If further indication were
needed, that ho was a man of tremendous
resources. He disappeared after the be
ginning of the war.

"Talk about tho world getting better (
nil right for the fool sitting in his study
reading books; there nrc moro sinners per
capita now than there were In tho time of
Christ."
The Rev. William P. Nicholson made
this declaration this afternoon'' nt the
Darby tabernacle.
He pointed to tho fact that 17.000.non
men were fighting In Europe to shed each
other's blood and snld that civilization
tinit collapsed to satisfy malice nnd lust
for power and envy nmoiig nations.1
"The most blasphemous part of It all,"
exclaimed the ovangnllst, "Is that they nil
pray lo God to support their iirms. He
then acted the plcttlro of the Kaiser, the
Czar and the kings petitioning the Al
mighty to bring victory.
"When Christ comes," ho declared,
"there will be no king but one king, nnd
not until then will wnrs cease, and not
until then will tho problem of capital mid
labor be solved." lie chose for Ills sub
ject "Christ's Hecond routing."
"It Ir ns Important to cultivate the Imp.
of the Lord's return," the evangelist said,
"ns It Is lo live righteously In this world.
If 1 were not expecting the Lord's second
coming t would not be cultivating nil tho

sible, because the war Is not In Palestine
todny, although the strife Is moving east
ward and may leach there before It ends.
"I believe In the personal, and visible,
and imminent return of Christ. I bellovo
the snmc Christ Is coming back that vui.s
here before the Christ who was crucified,
with the pierced hands mid feet nnd
wounded side. And He'll come hack per
sonally. "That dirty, old. long-wlilskcred Rus
sell had Him coming back Inst October,
but nrfw he has clinngcd to next year,
and yet some people follow his teachings.
Hut that does not change the fact that
Christ is coming again. It's no cunning
lyl devised fable; He's coming In person.
If the devil lias Induced Russell and soino
others to counteifelt the second coming
of Christ, It only proves that It Is a doc
trine worth believing, for nothing was
ever counterfeited yet that wasn't valu
able. THE SECOND COMING.
After expressing his belief that tho
Lord may come at any moment the speak
er said:
"The (yd Testament Is full of tho sec
ond coming of Christ. The first coming Is
never mentioned III the Old Testament
without an accompanying mention of tho
second coming, but tho second coming Is
often mentioned without a mention of
the first. Aro tho Old Testament prophets
liars? Or was the dlvlno grnco that
caused them to prophesy nt fault?
"Then I believe In the second coming
bocauso the New Eestanient Is full of It.
Read tho New Testament and you will find
that tho second coming Is mentioned on
nn nvorage of every L'Oth verse alt tho
way through."
"Tho Jews accept tho second coming
but not tho first. Wo accept tho llrst
coming, but try to Invent all kinds of
counterfeits for the second coming. Just
see how tho devil twists you around. Oh,
he's a wily pup."
"I believe In tho second coming bo
causo ChrlHt told his desclples '1 will
return.' Did He tell a llo? No! He
didn't say 'I'll send the Holy Ghost."
Ilo distinctly said that Ho would come
ngaln."
Tonight's meeting will be attended by
a 50 delegates from tho various churches
In Chester. Tomorrow afternoon Doctor
Nicholson will speak on "Hull."
