TfAnmMirno, Jnn. 21. Tho slate com
tnlttee of the Itouxa reported tho seleetioti
of the following for the principal positions
of the House:
Continued from Pace One
thrown Into tho House upon a majority
voto of the entire number of members of
the Senate. Appropriation measures, as a
rule, require a two-thirds vote, but tho
all-powerful Rules Committee, of tho Senato
ruled otherwise In this instance.
Tho Senato Rules Committee Is composed
of tho following. Senators William C.
Kproul. chairman ; James P. McNIchol,
Charles A Snyder. 'Wi.lllam K. Crow, Wil
liam C. McConnell. This commltteo was
organized to tie tho' hands ot Covernor
Brumbaugh.
Tho antl-Penroso forces held" a prolonged
conference last night In tho executive man
sion. Among those who attended were Sen
ator 1'dwln II. Vare, Attorney General
Brown and tho Governor. None of tho
participants would discuss- tho conference
today. It was generally crodltcd In politi
cal circles, however, that tho antl-Penroso
campaign was thoroughly mapped out at
the confab.
An entirely new attack upon tho In
vestigation resolution was launched today,
when tho antl-Penroso forces called atten
tion to tho fact that the resolution, as
woided, provided for "hearings" only.
When tho measure was first drafted, accord
ing to Penrose leaders, the word "public"
waj Included, but at the request of tho
Penrose chiefWIns, tho word "public" was
eliminated. As the resolution stands at
present, tho commission will have the power
to hold secret meetings whenever It wishes.
Tho Penrose forces aro facing a fight
on the part of the up-Stato followers. Lan
caster County Is an example. Tho entire
delegation from Lancaster County voted
for Auron B. Hess, for Speaker, and be
causo they did not voto for Baldwin they
h.uo been ejected from the chairmanships
they occupied for years. The "firing" in
cluded Representatives Hlbshman, as chair
man of tho House committee on agriculture;
Hoffman, ns chairman of the'" House com
mltteo on banks nnd building and loan as
sociations, and Rhoads, as chairman of the
public buildings committee.
further ru vela t lions made by the official
records of the Auditor General's ofllce
ehoivr that since Governor BrUmbaugh took
ofllce January. 1015, he has spent at least
-3,675 of the State's money for tho per
sonal needs of himfcelf, his family, his
friends and his servants. The records show
further that this approximate sum Is ex
clusive of the annual salary of 10.000.
Among the expenditures which havo ap
peared were two small charge;) for Mrs.
Brumbaugh's department store purchases;
for approximately $1000 worth of cigars,
Including a forty-eight cent brand.; for cut
Powers and calling cards; for tips; for a
guide in a camping expedition, and for Mrs.
Brumbaugh's hotel charges and taxicab
uipa on visits to Phlladeljihla,.and New
York. .
Another point developed was that upon
Wore than one occasion the Governor's sec.
retary drew checks for cash, which was
turned over to the Governor. According to
