Tho most vicious factional fight for
control of th6 Republican organization In
Pennsylvania slnco tho 'Hastings-Quay
contest of 183G,wlll bo decided by tho
voters at tho 'presidential preferential
primary next Tuesday.
The lines for the political battle have
been clearly drawn during tho pant, two
months, when charges and counter-charges
have been made by both factions, nnd
"mud sllhglng" has been Injected Into the
campaign almost dally.
Tho most.bltter attacks that havo been
made, camo from tho faction headed by
United States Senator Boles Penrose. Ho
has tho assistance of State Senator James
P. McNichoI In Philadelphia and the Stato
Committee throughout the State.
Threats of Imneachment have hen
mndo by Penrose-McNichol lieutenants
against Governor Brumbaugh, who, with
tho Vares and Attorney General Francis
Shunk Brown, Is at tho head of tho antl
Penrose forces. Mayor Thomas B. Smith,
who has been playing on tho side of tho
Vares, also has been threatened with pro
ceedings to oust him, through a "ripper"
to bo Introduced In tho next Legislature
,by tho Penrose forces, because of alleged
political activity by the police.
The fight has been carried against tho
Vares, Brumbaugh and Brown by Senator
Penrose, who, llko his predecessor and
political preceptor, Matthew Stanley Quay,
turned "reformer" and advocated popular
measures In order to securo tho support
of tho large element of Independent voters.
OUST THE CONTRACTORS.
Penrose also has openly carried tho fight
against the Vares in Philadelphia.' Ho has'
declared that the local Issue Is the elim
ination of contractors from politics, and
tho fight tof the Penrose machine, although
It has the active co-operation of Senator
McNlchold, who Is himself a big contrac
tor. Is being directed along that line.
Governor Brumbaugh, throughout the
State, has waged his campaign against
the Old Guard element in the Organiza
tion tttat Is typified by Penrose. Ho has
appealed for the support of tho followers
of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, who swept
tho State four years ago. Ho and his
political sponsors and backers are pre
dicting that another IandsIIdo similar to
that of 1912 Will occur noxt Tuesday.
The leaders of both factions admit that
the contest will be decided In the metro
politan districts. Nolther Penrose nor
Brumbaugh apparently has been able to
arouse the voters' In the country districts,
and a light vote Is looked for outside of
the cities. A late season for the farmers
Is one of the reasons for this prediction,
as tho farmers will be loath to leave their
Acids for a day to go to the polling 'places.
HEAVY REGISTRATION HERE.
One of the heaviest yotes ever cast Is
expected In tho cities, however, In Phil
adelphia more than- 30,0,000 electors are
Qualified to participate In tho primaries.
This Is tho largest number of registered
voters In the history of t,he city.
Tho voters throughout the Stafe must
fmake between 40 and 48 marks on their
primary ballots. In Philadelphia 44
marks wilt be necessary to vote the en
tiro tickets and tor the two lodn bills
that are urt for .approval of tho voters.
There will be nominated at the primary
of each party the State's candidate for
President of the United States, one United
States Senator, A Stato Treasurer, Audi
tor General, Justice of the Supreme HCourt,
four Congressmen-at-Large, a Congress
man In every Congressional district, Stato
Senators In the odd-numbered districts
and an entirety new State House of Rep
resentatives. There will bo eleated at the primary 12
delegatea-at-large nnd 12 alternate dele-gates-at-large
to the Democratic National
Convention, six detegates-at-Iarge and six
alternate delegates-at-large to the Wash

delegates-at-large and 12 alternate delegates-at-large
to the Republican National
Convention. In .addition to this, each
party will elect delegates to the respective
national conventions In each congressional
district.

Innd Tho soldiers were hlsd reviewed
by Premier AsqUlth, who went to the
Irish cnpltnl to confer with ofTlclnls nnd

to tho responsibility for the uprising.
Premier Asqulth planned to continue
his conferences today with civil authorities

was reported In Dublin that Premier
Asqulth would Issue a proclamation within
n few days nddrcssed to tho IrUh people.
With 16 leaders of the revolution ex
ecuted, belief was expressed today that
thero would bo no more death sentences
carried out. It Is also likely that a proc
lamation will bo Issued within the noxt
few days restoring civil law In Ireland,
There Is considerable high focllng pre
vailing In southern and western Irish
counties over the Btern measures sanc
tioned by the British Government And
It will probably bo some tlmo before this
Is eliminated entirely, but members of
tho government strongly defend tho dras
tic policy which was put Into effect.
A largo number of Dubttti residents
nrrcsled on suspicion havo been released
from prison as tho remit of Premier As
qulth's visit to tho Irish capital, accord
ing to reports.
Several Government employes wero
nmong tho men released. Others Included
persons suspected of having provisioned

Senator McNichoI Ridicules
Aspirations of the "Ambi
tious Schoolmaster"
Senator McNichoI ridicules the presi
dential aspirations of Governor Brum
baugh, wham he holds up to scorn as "an
ambitious school teacher."
In two campaign meetings held In his
home district, McNichoI Iaqt night at
tacked tho Governor, Incidentally giving
his hearers to understand that he himself
was contemplating retirement from tho
State" Senate four years hence.
In his attack upon tho Governor the
Senator said:
"If any man had the nerve and temerity
to Introduce the ambitious schoolmaster's
name to the Republican National Con
vention he would be laughed out of
Chicago."
Senator McNichoI took the voters of his
home district Into his confidence, too, and
permitted them, to Infer that this was the
last term ho would seek In the Senate. He
asked them, as a special favor, to be sure
to mark "McNlcJioI'a name," although he
Is unopposed for renomlnatlon. Then to
this request he tagged this prophecy;
"I shall serve you faithfully for the
next four years aa I have In the last 1Z,
and when the four years are up I shall
probably be seen back here again, asking
you to support some young man for the
place, in order that he may.proat by the
wider experience of a term in the upper
branch."
"This attack on Senator Penrose," he
said, "comes from the mistake that was
made when an ambitious schoolteacher
was taken from his olassroom and made
Governor, He has been the topi of a
coterie of men who have cloaked their
own designs behind Brumbaugh ; men who
have never been out In the open and
taken the blow, but who run at the first
sign of a bullet and the first show of a
fight.
"The massive schoolmaster, aa a candl.
da(e for President on the square, would
make this State a laughing stock. Sup
port Penrose and give him delegates that
wilt hold up his hands when he goes to
Chicago to help to choose the Republican
candidate for President."
The meeting In the Uth "Ward was
held at Mercantile ilall. Franklin street

brooch -at Mrs. Zlegler's throat caught
the. attention of the robber. "How about
that necklace?" he Inquired.
Mrs. Zlegler nervously attempted to un
clasp the pendant, but It became entangled
In the lace about her throat. With pres
ence of mind, she took advantage of the
opportunity to slip from her fingers and
Into her bosom two largo diamond rings.
The motion, however, was percehed by

In order to get first-hand knowledge

revolutionary leaders In San Diego, Los
Angelos, New Orleans, Galveston and El
Paso. Orders have been given to arrest
all plotters as soon as the evidence will

Sevefo punishment wni meted out to
the commander of the German submarine
which attacked tho Sussex, It Is generally
believed In well-Informed circles In Ber
lin, though no ofllclal report on the na
ture of the punishment has been made
public. '
Tlil.1 belief Is based largely on the In
dignation felt In Germany over tho U
boat commander's deception- His roport
was Implicitly believed until the American
Government presented conclusive evidence
showing that tho Channel packet was tor
pedoed. In view of this evidence Germans
feel that they were put' In a rather hu
miliating position. It Is not overstating
tho case to say that the submarine com
mander's deception caURcd as much Indig
nation In Berlin ns. It did In Washington.
Tho German Government, deslrlnir to
avoid a break with America at all costs,
hns taken two important steps In the last
fortnight to Improve the relations between
tho two nations. Tho German concessions
In the submsilne matter wore one. A
quiet mocmont to squelch Teutonic plot
ters and Teutonic propagandists In the
United Statos and antl-Amerlcan propa
gandists In Germany has been under way
for several days.
THREATS AGAINST GERARD.
Ambassador Gerard has received scores
of letters with threats against his life
In tho last few days. Tho letters were
Inspired by newspaper Insinuations that
In some way ho "tipped off" tho Sinn Fein
outbreaks In Dublin In advance to tho
B'Usli Government. Somo of tho writers
hk j ' mentioned, also, facts alleged to have
been brought out through the arrest In
Now York of Wolf von Igol former secre
tary of Captain yon Papen, ahd the con
fession of Horst on der Goltz, alleged
German agent.
Though tho German' Government hns
disclaimed nit responsibility for the acts
of bomb plotters In tho United States
Chancellor von Bethmann-Holweg believes
that somo sort of drastic action should
bo taken to convince Americans that Ger
many has nothing to do with tho plotters'
operations. Conferences on this subject
hac been going on at Berlin all this
week. I have heard, for instance, that
Franz -von Rlnteln, alleged German plotter,
will bo court-martialed If he ever returns
,to Germany. Although officials refrain
from expressing nny opinion of the guilt
of the accused men, they declare em
phatically that their acts are without tha
sanction of tho German Government or
tho Kaiser.
BERLIN'S NEW ANXIETY.
Berlin Is chiefly worried Just now over
tho possibility that some submarine com
mander may accidentally torpedo with
out warning a merchant vessel In the be
lief that he Is attacking a transport, thus
bringing a new submarine crisis with the
United States. Tho Kaiser, Chancellor
von Bothmnnn-Hollweg and Admiral von
Heltzendorff are particularly anxious that
the submariners take no chances that may
Involve Germany with the United States.
If the now orders to submarlno comman
ders could bo published. It Is said that they
would convince tho skeptical that Ger
many Is aa much concerned ns America
in preventing accidents In the futrc.

that Ellhu Root was too old to get tho
nomination and that Colonel Rooseolt
could not lead a united party.
Mayor Smith today accepted tho chal
lenge of his attackers.
In an Interview that I Istled with ns
much of what It promlsea ns well as what
ho said, the Mayor said ho woutiVchango
his mind about kocplng out of tho fac
tional fight In politics, and In a speech
tonight would "expose" Harry J. Trainer,
who more than nny one else has been rep
resenting tho Pcnrose-MoNlchol crowd In
attacking his administration.
The Mayor wai wroth and lie promised
sensational disclosures.
What Induced him to throw himself
Into the political sldo of the fight his
position, ho nlways has said, was purely.
pro-Philadelphia and not pro-any faction
was what Mr. Trainer said last night
In a speech in the 53d street theatre.
Among tho things the Councilman said
wnrf that tho Mayor and his administra
tion were taking lessons In transit from
tho P. T. Company.
That "riled" Mr. Smith particularly,
and so did Trainer's statement that In the
next Legislature ho proposed having
legislation Introduced for tho abolition of
tho party square bnllot. Tho 'Mayor un
derstood this to bo a reflection on the
Vares. It was too much. Ho Immediate
ly decided to take ndvnntage of an Invi
tation to speak tonight In Grutz Hall. 2939
Rldgo avenue, and then ho jravo out the
following Interview:
The Mayor said :
"I had decided not to nccept tho Invita
tion to talk, in tho 32d Ward this evening.
After reading what Trainer haB to say I
changed my mind and will aeennt nnd
will take occasion to reply to Trainer's
statement and tell tho people generally
..j. A.Mtn. uPu umvr men ot nis typo
aro running around with loose tongues,
misrepresenting nnd attacking tho Mayor
and his Administration.
"I will expose at the meeting just why
ho and others have taken the Btand they
have. I nm tired of being misrepresented
and mean to tell Just what Is back of it.
I welcomo nny Investigation of my actions
or any nlleged failure on my part to do
my full duty. I thought I had made my
position clear to all. I had decided to
strive to keep myself Out of politics and
out of factional fights, but T havo now de
cided that I will tell tho people Just what
I know about Trainer nnd his reasons
for attacking tho administration.
"After I am through tonight, every citi
zen will know what Is back of Trainer
nnd the men who are working with him
to retard municipal progress."
