MALONtTY I belleo from my knowledge of politics and the system of politics Mt up In Philadelphia to be ompetent to undertake this Investigation. From my knowledge of politico and poli ticians in Philadelphia, I believe, and I am speaking from experience, that It Is the moat 'crooked game that eer wu In vented, and I do not mean to say that In the past days that I was not a party to It. When 1 was In politics, I followed the leadership of the then Republican leader. Senator Penrose. I was not better, nor was I worse titan the leaders of that day, nor do I intend to make any apollgles for my actions at that time. I will say, how ever, that J am ashamed and feel humil iated to think that I wasted my years and i time In the political game, I have the utmost contempt for politics and politic- I lass and had I spent the last twenty years of my life In my present business caHlng, X would be a rich man today. EXPERT ON EXPOSING CROOKS! fYou ask me If I possess qualification fo bring forth proof of alleged election frauds. X eaa only say that I believe I am an ex (.frtt.Ui political Investigations, and I Will point out to you that It was 1 who investi gated the crooked legislature at Qnobeo three years ago and turned up, not only the, members of the legislature, but the partner of tb.e Prime Minister, for passing crooked legislation for money. I also went to Austin. Texas, where I turned up and exposed crooked lobbyists who were black mailing the trusts in that country; and 1 also attribute the saving of the life of Charles Stlelow, who was condemned to die by crooked detectives, and a crooked District Attorney, 'to my knowledge of politics and police methods that I became so familiar with while I was a leader In the Fifth Ward. COMRADES OF TOOTHFUL DAYS. U Tea, It is true, I was arrested with James tyjUgen of the Seventeenth division of the tijui tram, oui you muse rememoer I was raised and brought up in the Fifth "Ward, and in my younger days went to aoboel there. Some t$ my schoolboy friends and companions took the downward path in life and turned out to be some hard cltlsens. n the other hand some of them became good citizens. Some turned out to be thieves. One was tried for mur der and hung. One turned out to be a priest and another a minister. Some of them are the best business men in Phila delphia today, Ons or two are actors. Rome of them are lawyers, and two of my companions are on the bench today in Philadelphia, but they were all my old friends, even James Hageu. I cannot say that I did not expect to be attacked, because I have decided to enter into a legitimate business, but let it be understood now. ot.ee for all, that I am els through with It That I am on the (vet and that I will take an Investigation against any polltlcan In Philadelphia to day, If I believe the investigation to be bn the level. . v NO POLITICAL PARTNERS NOW RWORTER Are there any former Xetwblloan organization politicians stock holders in this agencyT MR MALONSrNo sir.

IJRITISH JIAKE GREATEST GAINS SINCE SOMME DRIVE BEGAN, OFFICERS AT FRONT SAY By FREDERICK PALMER T THE nitlTIBH FRONT, Sept. IB, via LONDON, Sept. 16. Officers are universally rretkliiit of thN as the best day for the British arms slrco tho offensive began. With tne exception f that of July 1, this nttack wte the rrvt excntietvo during the ten weeks i f t!B battle of ihe Somme Today f r tho first time new armored motorcars of Incenlous pattern suitable for croMlntr trjnchcs and shell holes competed with the Infantry: and today the British swept down from the ridges on to the lower ground toward Bapaume. At this writing they aro beyond the village of Flers, which they took early In the morning, and are established in Martinputch and Courcelette, The slow, plodding work of recent weeks, which Included the taking of Glnchy and Gulllemont, had for Its object the control of all the high ground from the region of Thlepval to the junction with the French on the light. The Germans fought hard for every foot of It. Delvllel or Devil wood, and the high wood and rib of earth, windmill crowned, beyond Pozleres have been steeped with blood of men and mixed with fleeh of men fallen there under the longest and heaviest orgy of ohelinre In tho hlfetory of the war, as experts agree German wrestled with Briton not for a piece of farm land, but for military and human mastery. Today tho Brltlnh ad vance was largely down hill. They put be hind them tho high ground hero the slopes glvo them Bhelter for their guns and whose crest gives them observation for tlielr artil lery fire. Evidently the Germans'' did not eipect the nttack, considering that the British offensive was over and that tho British would settle down for tho winter In their now and advantageous positions Never before, probably, were more guns playing over tho samo length of front than were In use over the six miles where the British mado tlielr advance on July 1, and where they have continued their offensive with phelgmatlc and dogged persistence. Tho GermanB hae kept bringing up guns until they have a thousand In thli short sector, nnd yesterday the correspondent moving over the region of devastated vil lages and shell-torn earth. Intersected by new loads, saw how enormously tho Brit ish had Increased their own artillery. Sun tanned and weather beaten are the gunners after their ten weeks' work. There seemed lines and parks and clusters of guns Rows of batteries were firing with something! like the regularity and mechanical work manship of the needles of a loom weaving cloth. Alongside each other were British and French batteries. Tho gunners of neither ally could speak the language of the other, yet both were going on with their parts, according to Instructions.

NEWS AT A GLANCE CAPTURE OF HALICZ STILL UNCONFIRMED; RUSSIANS ADVANCE IN CARPATHIANS PETROGItAD, Sept. 16 Chief move menti to note at present on the Russian front are the steady advance in the wooded Carpathians and the fighting near Ilallcz on the Dniester, which now consists chiefly in the repulse of German and Turkish counter-attacks. While no official confirmation Is given the news of tho fall of Ilallcz in the latest Russian report on war operations, j et some correspondents Insist that the stronghold defending the approaches to Lemberg has already fallen to the Czar's forces. One of them goes as far an to -fflve details of the capture of the fortress, saying that the Cossacks pursued, sabered and lanced the retreating enemy, one detachment being cut to pieces by a single company of Don Cossacks. Jhi" The striking feature of BrusailoffflHtacka has been their precisely determlmijEsTorder and the eystematlo way In which each of the four armies has taken up the advance when the army previously attacking has achieved its immediate object and compelled fresh enemy concentration.

Besides the operations against tho Carso Plateau, the Italians Kept up a fierce bom bardment of the enemy's lines north of the Wlppaelt as far as the region of Plava.

HUGHES TO SWEEP NATION, SAYS PENROSE Continued from Tare One minds as to what they are going to do. The electon in Maine this week Is a preliminary Indlcaton of what will occur next Novem ber. Mr. Hughes wll carry every State north of Mason and Dixon's Lne, and has hopeful prospects In other States In the South and Southwest. HUGHES MAN OF THE HOUR "Ex-Governor Hughes Is the 'man of the hour.' He has Inspired the American peo ple with entire confidence In his ability, his character and Integrity, and he has met the Issues with logic. Intelligence and di rectness He will be elected because the people know that he will make a great President, and because, over and above everything else, they have made up their minds to get rid of Democratic Incompetence and extravagance. "Democratic party leaders for many) jars have been proclaiming that the Pro tective Tariff was 'rtobbery,' and that they have come out In the recent revenue bill, without any further disguise. In favor of a system of direct taxes. They boldly have declared that they favor free trade, and would emulate the (practice of the British Government in raising revenue by direct taxation. "Now, this position Is directly opposed to the whole construction ot our Federal Gov ernment. The Constitution of the, United States gave to Congress exclusive power to levy duties upon Imports. Congress was given power to levy and collect taxes, duties. Imports and excises In order to pre lde for the common defense and general welfare of the United States. MOST HEAVILY TAXED PEOPLE In attacking the direct taxation system of the Wilson admlnstratton, Penrose said: "We will awaken to the fact that In time of peace we are the most heavily taxed peo ple in the world As It is now, an Individual will discover that he Is paying over thirty per cent of his Income In taxes. If he will count up his local. State and Federal taxes, directly and indirectly drawn from his pocket. We are thus Imitating a system of direct taxes which for a century has been In force In Great Britain Just at a time when every nation in Europe, Including England. Is preparing to adopt a high protective tariff sstem. "Where are the markets which the war ilng nations m'-st seek for the export ot large quantities of Industrial products which have heretofore found sale In Euro pean markets? The largest neutral market In the whole world Is, larger than all the rest of the world. Is the United States. America's total tt over 120,000,000,000 of consuming power Is a rich prize for the Europeans to struggle for. They are look ing toward this country as their main hope of a market! In fact, as their salvation. They will not look In vain If the return of peace in Europe shall find tha Underwood free trade doors wide open. They will flood our markets with goods cut down In price to the bone. I "Democrstlo statesmanship has failed ut terly to make adequate provision for the crisis which will confront us. The situa tion of this country will be too dreadful to contemplate t we drift along under present condtlons. "Tho only assurance of safety Is the restoration of the Republican party to power with adequate tariff legislation combined with economy In the admlnstra ton of the departments, and wth a vigor ous foreign policy which will renstate us In the respeet of foreign nations. DISLIKED BT ALL THE WORLD "Under the diplomacy of Jhe Wilson Ad. ministration, it is humiliating to have to state, and it Is not exaggeration to state that we are disliked, if not hated by the people of every ctvltlxed nation of the world at the preeent time. When the com mercial war begins we will receive scant sympathy, Tho central powers will refuse to trade with enemy countries, which will mean that they will not trade with Eng. land, France and Russia. Likewise Eng land, Russia and France will refuse to trade with Germany, Austria and Turkey. "Industrial warfare will be as fierce as military warfare Is now; a high tariff, even a prohibitive torift, whloh we never dreamed of before, will be put in force. Wo will naked and exposed, groaning under the bur, den of direct taxation and with the Under wood tariff law containing duties, lower ilhv,,r "7 bodled In a lark law In 100 years jof Amariean hostory."
