, Governor
Attorney Oenernl Hrnncla Sliunk Brown
announced this nfterrroon that lie hml or
dered Impounded alt expense nccounts In
the Statewide campaign of both lafl full
nnd 1914.
He said that he had ordered Secretary
nf the Commonwealth Woods on Monday
last to see that nil accounts desired were
kept safe. "Yo know." he explained, 'In
case of an Investigation they m ght be
lost or mislaid."
The action of the Attorney (Seneral
caused no excitement out of tlte oidlnary
In the Penrose camp, although It places the
supporters of the senior Senator at a dls
advantage If they probe too hard and too
deep. Their election expenses.vtoo. nie held
by orders of the Attorney General ; not only
members of the Legislature but all the
candidates may be ln estimated
If Attorney General Brown rates to do
so, he can Investigate the election account'

Trill'MVlllATi: STKAI.S A MAIU'II
By this master stroke for such It seemed
to many politicians who ore Informed of
It this nftermrtn the Vars-Brumbaugh-jirovvn
triumvirate have stolen a march on
Penrose It was said that the expense ac
counts of the political boss of the Slate
Mould not bear mlnule Inspection, especially
as neither the Pennslvan'a Manufacturers'
Association, nor the Liquor Dealers' As
sociation, nor the Brewers' Association filed
accounts covering their expenditures at the
time of Penrose's ro-electlon to the t'nlted
States Senate In 1914. All three of these
billies aided greatly In his successful cam
paign. The minor political gently, such as cer
tain members of the city and county conr
mltrees, will not be free from possible
probing, Their accounts ar Just as unsafe
as those of the big leaders, If Brown de
sires to single out any particular man Al
though the A'ares rule the Philadelphia
City Committee, the Pentose wing control
many of the city and State committees, nnd
also the Republican State Committee
Attorney-General Brown's statement was
"Last Monday I requested Cyrus I . Woods,
secretary of the Commomvca.tii. to place
campaign expense accounts of all candi
dates In the State-wide cu-npalgn of 1314
and 1916 In a safo placfl and to safeguard
them so that they might bo available In
case of an Investigation.'1
FOLLOWS PKNIIOSH THItKAT
The Brown statement came at an oppor
tune moment It was Issued only a few
hours after Senator Penrose had safd the
Legislature should stay in session until le
cember to watch the Governor. "Some one
ought to be In Uarrlsbutg for the remalndet
of the term of the present State Administra
tion to guard the Interests of the people "
he said, "The Legislature could do that
very well It need not bo In actual session
all the time, of course, but would be sub
ject to convening any time. In that way It
would be a splendid corrective of anything
unvvl.e contemplated or done b.v the Admin
istration." This contingency of n protracted session
Teas considered at a meeting of the "war
board" in Penrose's office.'
Penrose was also believed, after those
statements, to have n club to hold over the
heads of Mayors Smith and Magee, the lat
ter of Pittsburgh, to Tone them to keep
"hands off" at the next election. This be
lief dissipated in the wintry a'r when
Brown's statement became known. "Check
mated," was the wa Brown's move was
characterised
Senator MeVlc'.iol last' night, in boom'ng
Krnest L. Tustln. fotmer Senator nnd Ttc
corder of Deeds, for Mao'i, also rapped
Brumbaugh In regard to Tustln. "Sunny

The dinner was one of the "get tone:hei '
dinners of tire Pent oik taction. Frank Cav

callable chairman of the committee In
charge of the affair. Charlie Snyder, Audi
tor General-elect, who may be one of those
probed Insteead of probing, won the speech
mal.Ins honors of tire evening.

TRY TO FREE LANCASTER
PIKE OF TOLL NUISANCE
State Highway Commissioner
Black Will Invoke Delaware
and Chester Courts
Steps to free the Lancaster p l.e of toll
front Hosemont to Paoli vwll lie taken bv
State Highway Commissioner Black. It was
learned today that Attorney Cen;r.'il Brown
has pi f pared to begin proceed ngs In the
Delaware and Chester county courrs. Such
a course Is necessary for the reason that
the load passes thtougli poitlons of both
counties.
As the Lancnxter pike has been desig
nated as par: of the Lincoln Highway,
nutomoblllsts have been seeking to elimi
nate the toll travesty fur some time Thou
sands of uutonrob lifts from all secttons of
the country use this road when en route
east and west, nnd the toll sstem Iras been
proved to be a general nuisance. It has
ulso subjected the community to much crit
icism by those who are obliged to pass
through
It is geitprall.v believed that the steps to
eliminate the toll over this section will
meet with Micces. as the project Is ap
proved b.v Governor Brumbaugh and the
political leaders, regardless of factions.
Sufilcient funds to take care of the road
without tesortlng to toll will be provided,
It is believed, by the present Legislature
The general opinion or legislators is that
the toll sstem savors of provincialism and
should bo eliminated for all time.
Argument vvlW -also bo heard during the
present month for the elimination of toll
from two roads In Bucks County These
cases have been pending for some time

Dishonest Methods Must Be Abandoned,
He Says, or Companies

Dishonest Insurance methods must be
abolished, declared State Instil ance Com
missioner J. Denny O'Nell today before his
departure for Harrlshurg, Commissioner
O'Nell said he was returning to the capital
to look tip certain records In his depart
ment which were placed there when that
orllce was virtually operated by appointees
of the Pcnrosc-McS'lchol wing of the Re
publican Organization He nlsO declared
he was determined to have a law passed
bringing nil the fraternal organlr.itlons In
Pennsylvania under the direct Jurisdiction
of the State Insurance Department
"Penrose and his constituents have been
making threats to investigate my depart
ment." said Mr O'Nell. "Why do they
moke these threats Instead of going on
Willi their investigation? I wish Penrose
and his crowd would go ahead with an In
vestigation, An Investigation would show
that the Pension Mutual Life Insurance
Company, which has a deficiency bf more
than $1,000,000. was protected while the
lusuiance Depattment was In charge nf
Penrose appointees."
WILL KICK TIIKM OCT
"livery dishone'st insurance compan.v Is
going to be kicked out of Pennsylvania.
While I nm Conimlt.sloner of the Insurance
k Department I nm not going to permit in
surance to be turned Into 'frenzied finat.ee
like Lyndon D. Wood attempted when he
started to put his Idea Into operation, which
was to consolidate a bunch of companies
Into one gigantic combination without look
ing after the Intel esls of the policyholders.
"Penrose has foimed an unholy alliance
Penrose has collected abuut hlnr the saloon
kespers and a few cowardl rich men. Pen
tose Is their prime mlii'ster. I tell oii
that conditions In the State are most appall
ing, and they mint be cleared tip. I retuse
to be Intimidated and I refused to be coerced
The Issue Is not political so much as it Is
moral. I didn't bring politics Into tli"
ofllce of Insurance Commissioner; I want
to rid It of politics Penrose has de
bauched politics In tin' State. I am In this
light ns long as the present conditions
prevail, and I welcome a fair Investiga
tion. WILL CLIOAIt AIR
"I nm going to clear up the alinospheie
of the Insurance business In Peniislvanla
I nm going to work to the end that when
a person takes out a life Insurance policy
111 this State It will be as safe as money
in the bank "
Referring to the $1,000,000 In personal
notes solicited by Wood's agents for the
Pension Mutrral Life, for which bonds were
obtained from Henry L Doherty. of New
York, Mr. O'Nell declared that the signers
of those notes were more guilty than Wood,
In that they were grasping and expected to
receive $1000 each for them, after being
nssured that they would never be collected.
It was with this security, he said, that
Wood tried to convince the State Insur
