VARES COOL TO HAYS , AND PARTY LEADERS; 'Penrose Buncombe," Says , Senator of National Chair- , man's Coming Visit Will It llas. Republican national chairman, and others high In the national councils nr the Republican party will get a cool leccptlon from the Vare forces when they come hero on their proposed "harmony" expedi tion. Senator Vare said sn himself, when his attention was directed to reports from Washington concerning the pro posed visit of Republican chiefs to Philadelphia, "Penrose buncombe" was the way Sen ator Vare dubbed dispatches from Wash ington announcing the proposed visit of Hays and others to Thlladelphla to bring about a condition of harmony be tween the warring Penrose and Vare tongs In the Republican organization. The leader of the Vare faction also sug gested that "Hays ought to get busy with him (Penrose) first," If he wishes to have a united party In Pennsylvania. In political circles the belief Is general that the Vares will have no harmony program unless It provides for their recognition as the undisputed Republican leaders of the city. I They are said to be willing to forego I their aspirations for a hand in the State leadership, and, according to Senator vares oft repeated assertions, have only "mixed It up" with the Penrose forces In the State because of the refusal of the latter to recognize the Vares here. "There Is nothing to harmonize," salfl the Senator yesterday, ,"for the regular Republicans In this city are all lined up for the regular Republican ticket and the regular Republican Organization. "Don't make any mistake nbout this stuff regarding the visit. It looks to me like some more of that Penrose hunk that we get often. Wo need no harmo nlzers In this city and they might as well know that first as last. For once more I repeat there is nothing to har monize." "We nre in good shape here, and won't have any trouble In electing Republicans to Congress from this city. There was no contest against any mem bers of the present delegation except those inspired by Penrose, so Hays ought to get busy with him first. "The regular Republican organization, too, will sec that the whole ticket Is supported In fine Btyle, and It looks as If the Republicans nil over the Stata were In good shape, too."

Stanley Kanopka. nine years old, rear of 519 North Philip street, died a hero. He was trying to save his com panion, Stephen Lanckowski, nine years old, who had been seized with cramps, but went to his death locked In the arms of his chum.

Last year the Flrty-sixth Ward committee Included a large number of municipal employes, a number of whom came directly under Major Smith. The list made public by the Committee of Seventy includes a half dozen Forty sixth Ward men who are employed In the Department of Public Works. In this ward, where tne vare destinies are cared for by Harry A. Mackey, there were a number of registrations from the ward commltteea by men who se cured employment In municipal depart ments. As most of the ward committeemen earn their places through' being prac tical politicians, and through a familiar ity with the voters, their appointment to office usually leads to renewed ef forts on their part to carry divisions. Thla fact was particularly noticeable on May primary day, when City Hall was virtually deserted by the workers who are also omcanolders. soma omce doors wars 1 closed all day, while others had a single clerk or two ready to serve tha public This , condition was especially tha casa in county omcea. , Quitting ward committees by U resignation rout by no means "impjlea aulttlM active work in connection with ward guanines' It was' rf Ij predicted tM ttnovfh roost of th ,Vr MEET IN MEMORIAL DAY CELEBRATION DESPITE RAIN PROBATION CHIEF NAMED Dr. Louis Newton Rohin.'on Gels Mrs. Rippin's Place President Judge Charles L.
