PENROSE CLANS PLAN NEW
Conllnnfd from I'nee Onr
munhln County courts,
If such action Is
found to be Advisable.
The Scnato Appropriations Committee,
which lms charge of the Sprout fesolullon,
U composed of fortythree members, Hen
alof Kdwnnt K IJelrtleinaii, president pro
tern, bel"S & cx-otuclo member. There nro
seventeen staunch ljpnrose members ilnd
nine JiemocraU on It.
That is the situation today, wlillo the
thief topic of capital Rosslp Is the revela
tion of the Oovcrnor's Sttttp-p.ilil personal
expense account, which. It Is believed, vll
mure In the Investigation. This was fore
east with the arrival of .Speaker llrtldwln
and bis chaise mat tno aiuie is iwyiiiu
$16,000 nmro u year for the coinfotts and
pleasures of ilovernor tirumbauBli tlml.i It
has unld for any other Chief Kxectltlvc.
The Horltlnt,' of the resolution lias also
riven many Penrose membets of tho I.ejjls.
Ulure doubt as to whether or not jl Is
sincere
The tcRt of Btrcnetli between the two
factions, which will decide whether or lint
the investlRatiou will be ihihIipiI In n Ilnlsli
as Senutor l'enroso Fays It will be, will prob
ably come when one of the two bills .Statu
Senator and Auditor CJencinl-clcet ('unites
A. Snyder will Introduce today come up tor
RVote in both houses.
SNVDIJH'H UIU.S
Senator Snyder 1ms drafted one bill that
,.i.i ulure tho power of appointing the
mercantile appraise! a In Philadelphia under
, the Auditor Ooncrnl alone. At present Ihey
re appointed Jointly by tho Auditor Hon
rat and the City Treasurer of Philadel
phia, who Is n Varo man. and who van
Euarantee at least'a compromise.
Tho other Snyder bill alms to cany out
Penrose threat to shiar Attorney tleii
eral itrowii of bis power The inem-iue
would abolish the power bestowed upon
him by the I.eBlslaturo o r.iui io nppmm
Bpeclal deput attorney Reuerals nt will to
handle the various cases that come uuiler
his Jurisdiction
The bills piobably'wlll Ixi ruhed through
the Senate and Into the House, so that the
respective strength of the two factious ciin
easily be determined
The Penrose Investigation resolution, or
rather the Sprout resolution, piovldes for
an appropriation of 25.000 for expenses.
That provision Is rogaided as tho "snake
In the grass"
Any measure that comes beforo the Legis
lature carrying with It an appioprlatlon
must havo a two-thirds vote of both houses
before It can pass
Neither faction has a two-thirds vote In
either the Senate or House, apparently, and
the Vare-Hrumbaugh leaders say the In
vestigation resolution was ilrnftt.il to cairy
the the appropriation with It. simply for
the purpose of "covering up "
They aro also pointing to the fact that
the Penrose lloor leader In the House. Itep
resentatlvo Frederick lleyer. of Philadel
phia, led the fight last night for postponing
Indefinitely tho Sarlg lesolutlon. backed by
the Democrats, for a complete Investigation
of the charges made by both factions during
' the speakership fight.
Tho Sarlg resolution, after a heated
debate between Representatives Sarlg and
Beyer, was indefinitely postponed by a vote
of 160 to 3'J
The Vare-IJrumbaugh leaders nre assert
ing today that the entire campaign of
Senator Penrose Is for publicity and they
ay they are "not worrying."
Senator Hdvvln II. Vare, the principal
supporter of the Governor, discussing tho
'Penrose moves for an Investigation, said:
'The higher they take this Investigation,
the lower they will fall."
The Penrose resolution was referred to
the Appropriations Committee, of which
Senator Clarence J. BlcUman, of llucks, is
xpected to be chairman.
That committee will not organize until
this afternoon nt least. Should the measure
be repurted back next week, It must come up
on three separate days in tho Senate, and
then go to tho House, where it must He
over until tho following week before any
action at all can be taken upon It, This
procedure can be followed only If there
Is no delay In placing tho measure fatther
tip on the calendar each day.
Senator Vuie commented on the resolu
tion as follows:
"A splendid conglomeration of tho Kiik
11th language "
BOTH SIDES SKK FLAWS
The measure la full of flaws, according
to leaders of both sides. The Viire-Hruin-baugh
leaders point out that it names no
particular State officials or departments,
but deals merely with a series of general
charges against "public officers."
The Penrose leaders, on the other hand,
declare that It elves the commission power
to Investigate any one from a constable to
the Governor
.The resolution differs radically from that
passed by the House In 1901, which created
commission to investigate the charges of
bribery made In connection with the elec
tion of Matthew Stanley Quay to tho United
States Senate, and to report to the Legis
lature upon the feasibility of tho McC'ar
rell bill throwing tho prosecution of the
men named in the report of tho committee
to a jury. i
The vouchers for the amounts the State
has paid for the Governor's expenses In ex
cess of his nalary of $10,000 a year show
that tho public has met the bill for vir
tually his every expense except clothing.
Pressing and repairing his clothing, food,
gasoline, traveling expenses," hotel bills,
meal tickets, books, magazines and news
papers, cigars and hospitality ate Included.
The Auditor General's office has on file the
vouchers for tho personal expenses, which
were taken from a fund of $30,000 appropri
ated bj the last Legislature, which Is dis
bursed under what Is known as the Execu
tive Mansion account.
GOVERNOR. REPLIES
Governor Brumbaugh this afternoon de
clared that the bills he Incurred as Governor
for luxuries In the executive mansion and
for his personal expenses, as published to
day, were "In every respect regular and
honest."
The charges that he has been spending
the State's money for personal use "will
not be taken seriously," he added.
Auditor General Powell, who "O, K'd."
the vounchera for the Governor's vacation
trips, cigars, magaalna'a books, taxicabs,
tc cama to the defense of the Governor
with a statement that t hey were not ex
orbitant or unreasonable.
State Senator William C. Sproul, of Dela
ware County, who Is a candidate to suc
ceed Brumbaugh as chief executive, said
that the bills "exceed the limits of good
taste." state Senator Edwin II. Vare de
clined to discuss the dlsclosuies.
ine Governor issued his statement in
jnswer to tho disclosures after he had left
the meeting of tho State Uoaid of Agri
culture at noon, lie said;
The matter Is not one which requires
any defense on my part. The fact that
vounchera wera filed with the Auditor
General ought to be sufficient proof
that th eexpenses Incurred by me as
Governor, and therefore as the official
representative of the Commonwealth,
were in every respect regular and
honest.
I do not care to comment at length,
out It does seem to me that there is
such a thtng-as being fair even to your
enemies. I am satisfied that the alle
gations, or, rather, Innuendoes, will
not be taken seriously by those familiar
with the extensive duties of my otttce.
DEPENDED BY POWELL
Auditor General Powell, In defending the
governor, said the charges reflected upon
w as much as upon Brumbaugh, as he

One-third off the selling price "melts" the profit to a mere cost.
We truthfullu confess that this fur sale of no profits is far bel

next season.
For seventu-seven gears we have been engaged in the process of
reputation building.
If this ideal and character in business appeals to gou, our mer
chandise, discount and value nesd little recommendation to gou.
We Omit Prices In This
Advertisement Because:
We do not want anyone to be mftled. Last year the opening day cleared
us out of a large number of specified items and patrons were disap
pointed. To prevent a repetition we obviously do not repeat this error.
The
