Atlantic City, Oct. IB. Senator
Penrose, regarding the election of Scn
ntor Harding as n certainty, and lopkr
Ing forward to the rich treasure of fed
fral patronage which ho will command
in Philadelphia and tho stato nt Inrgc,
I, preparing to play tho biggest state
end city politics of his long career.
His plans are based on the belief that
' he will be re-elected to n six-year term
in the Senate and on his hopes of til-
tlinntc recovery of health nnd strength.
The prizes he will piny for will be the
winning of the county offices In Phila
delphia next' year, the gubernatorial
latnpaigu the succeeding year, nnd cou
trol of the 1021 State Legislature.
I All this was clearly indicated in n
full and franlc Interview with Senator
Penrose today on the sldo porch of tlie
ghclburnc Hotel. And-to this end he
founded a call for harmony in city and
state and epitomized his plans in these
words :
"My door is open and all raayjntcr;
the high nnd the lowly."
To Take More IVrcct Part Hero
Senator Penrose proposes to tnkc a
more direct part In Philadelphia poli
tic. Ho will try to straighten out
(lie tangles and tho intra-factlonnllsm
, which has been n source of political
embarrassment, to tho Mnypr. He will
endeavor to prevent tho dissatisfied Re
publican Alliance leaders from straying
off the reservation,, -just because the
lnor will not dounll 'they want, nnd
will try nlso. to bring new elements of
ptrcngth to hand.
The latter phase of his campaign
was started when ho cnlled on David
II. Lane, sage of tho organization, Mr.
I.anc hns always been the man of the
hour when anything harmonious was
to be arranged.
Mr. T.nno nnd Senator Penrose have
been bitterly opposed to each other in
recent jears. Mr. Lnno was wrathy
at the senator, for iiistnnco, when, four
j-ears ago the nestor was defeated us a
andldatc for national delegate. The
"hatchet lias been burled," however.
Itotli said so. And Mr. Lane has told
friends since that he believes there will
he n "getting together next year."
Senator Penrose's harmony campaign,
li ns explained, Is without prejudice to
Mayor Moore. Tho senator suid he
would help tho Mayor nil he could. In
this connection the senntor and the
Mayor have had one conference. An
other 1ms been arranged for next Sun
'ln.v, if the Mayor can get down here.
Interested In Legislature
Senntor Penrose furthermore Is intcr--ti
il in the legislative, program of the
forthcoming session of the state Legis
lature. Up announced that ho was op
pnsi'il to a new constitution or tho hold
ing of a constitutional convention. Tho
tenator would scrap tho work of the
institutional revision commission
uleh was uppplntcd by the Governor
neept in bo far as timely amendments
are suggested.
And, emphasizing the harmony situ
ation, Senator Penrose announced that
he did not regard civil service for county
offices "as a paramount or vital issue
t this time."
Recently M)iyor Moore pointed out tho
uiiuculty presented by tho tieing up of
the city administration with civil service
while tho county offices, under tho con
trol of tho Varcs, wero free of civil
tcrvicc.

OPERA HOUSE MANAGER

and
- 'Pagliacci' Will Bo Given
Next Thursday Night
The "tcmprramental outbursts" of
artists who struck just before the fourth
act of "II Trovatore" at tho Metropol
itan Opera House last night were dis
pelled today when they received their
back pay.
Edward Loeb. manager of the Metro
politan, said all differences between the
management and tho artistic singers
who deserted their audience nt the cru
cial moment of tho onera's development
.have been amicably settled.
Alfredo Inzerlllo and his co-stars
liavo agreed to appear next Thursday
night ns scheduled in "Pagliacci" and
"Cavalleria Itustlcana" ns though
nothing had happened. 'There Is con
cern as to whether last night's audlenco
may have developed an artistic tempera
ment nnd may not be on hand next
Thursday.
Fear, Results
Adolfo Caruso. Philadelphia repre
sentative of the Italian Lyric Federa
tion, under whoso auspices the Italian
operatic season was arranged, believes
last night's unrh-riu1-d denouement
may bo n blow to opera In this city for
some time to come.
"Slgnor Salmnggl, the imprcsoria,
is n singer, an artist and a man of high
esthetic ideals, but he's not a business
man." Slgnor Caruso said,
"For instauce," ho said, "for the
opening performance of Aidn, 'Signor
Salmaggl spent $7000. A capacity
house, with nil pnid admissions nt the
prcvnilingipricesof from $1 to $3, would
have amounted to only SC000. The per
formance in reality yielded but $4000.
"Signor Salmaggl intended to keep
on with the fifty performances
scheduled, even though ho wns losing
money, taken from ills own private in
come, nnd I believe everything wjpuld
have turned out all right in tho end.
"The impresario had made up tho
money for tho cast Inst night and n
messenger was on tho way to the dress
ing rooms of the artists to Inform them
they would be paid, when Slgnor Inzer
lllo stepped 'before the footlights nnd
fpollcd everything.''
Salmaggl May Speak
A statement from Mr. Snlmsggl as to
his attitude toward last' night's incident
anuVhis, future policy is expected this
afternoon. . Tzr
The temperamental strike "stopped
the. sliow" just before Giuseppe Inzo
rlllo was scheduled tovs!ng the tenor of
tho "Miserere," and patrons of-the
theatre filed disappointedly frpm their
scats.
Members of the company, looking
out over a goodly jiitdlcncc hnd decided
there was no .legitimate reason for the
alleged delay in paying them for their
work.
Later, somo question arose ns to the
actual size of tho night's receipts.
Dcgtnnlng Auspicious
The performance up to the moment
of the explosion had been far better in
nll-arouud merit, enthusiasm and con
sistency thnn nny performance of the
opera seen hero for n long time.
Giuseppe Inzerlllo, ns Manrico, and
Gildn Bossl. as Azuccna, bad been the
bright particular stars, although nil
the members of the cast had shown
thorough capability.
The third act had finished In a blnzo
of glory and the principals had received
many "brnvos!" and rccnlls. Fewer of
tho audience than usual left their seats
after the close of the act, and all wore
watting for tho opening of the closing
scenes and tho "Miserere" when the
curtains parted and the tenor stood be
fore them.
"Ladles and gentlemen," said Slgnor
Inzerlllo, "tho members of tho cast have
not been paid for the performance this
evening, nnd therefore we hnvo decided
not to go on with the show." There
wns a moment of dazed Bllencc. "We
are ycry sorry," repeated Signor Inzer
lllo. "but wo, have decided not to go on
with the show." He mado a sweeping
bow, the curtains parted and the btuge
wns again empty.
There was still dazed silence among
the audience. Then the meaning of tho

Kramer Conducts Star Cham
ber Session and Declines
' to Discuss Results
BAN ON WHISKY PERMITS
Secrecy was tho nrincinal feature of
the hearing of four beer brewers today
before J. AV. Kramer, the national pro
hibition commissioner, who enrao to
Philadelphia to conduct a star chamber
session in the enforcement ' offices in
the Vnn Dam Building.
Mr. Kramer would not dicuss the
cases of the brewers, who were up to
diow cause why their permits should
not be revoked, but he gave out a cryp
tic interview on the matter of whisky
permits.
"A ban on the issuance of permits
for the withdrawal of bonded whisky
exists," he said, "nnd no further per
mits will bo Issued except In urgent
cases. Such a case would be where a
druggist can prove that his stock of
whisky is depleted and he had prescrip
tions for more whisky for medicinal
purposes."
Mr. Kramer would not elaborate on
this statement, nor would he say any
thing concerning the mysterious charges
against tho brewers. The representa
tives of the four brewing" firms in ques
tion, all of them from the northern part
of tho stato, were called into "the main
offlco, and the doors portentously')
closed. "' - -
Mr. Kramer could not bn rondo to
see that cVcii If the brewers wero not
technically under nrrcst, (heir being.
compelled to nnswer in onier to retain
their licenses made the whole proceed
ing a public matter. The doors remained
closed to the newspapers and the public.
So far ns could bo perceived through
the smoke barrage of secrecy, the al
legations ngninst the brewers have to
do with the making of beer containing
alcohol- in excess of one hnlf of one
per cent. It Is said that tho nnswer
made by tho brewers was that their
beer was of proper alcoholic content
when it left tho brewery, nnd if there
was a "kick" in It when it reached tho
pleased consumer, some one hod played

which King Alexander of Greece is
suffering was emphnsized todny by Dr.

By CLINTON W. GILBERT
Stan Coirapondrnt Kvrnlnc Public I.fdrer
'ComrtoM, 1330, lv PuWo Ledger Co.
Chicago, Oct. 15. Both the Repub
lican and Democratic parties face this
year tho biggest deficit In campaign
funds they have ever had. Tho record
deficit was that of the Democratic
party in 1010, when, during the last
few weeks of the campaign, n large
sum of money was snent in ndvertis-
ing Wilson and when the party quit
owing $000,000.
Tho Democrats will probably owe
much more than that this year, and
the Republican deficit also is sure to
bo greatly In excess of $000,000. Nor
mallly thero is a slight deficit at the
end of every national prtmnnlt-n. Thi
Republican party usually owes about
$200,000 on election day. This year
It will owe several times that.
And this, will not be owing to a
failure tn keep within the budget.
Tho budget of slightly over $3,000,000,
testified to by Frederick W. Upham.
treasurer of the Republican National
Commlttco before tho Kcnyon commit
tee, will be exceeded by only a small
percentage.
G. O. P. Poverty Is Amusing
The poverty of the Republican Na
tional Commlttcn Is all tlm tnnrn n mim
ing because of Governor Cox's charge
that it was ralslnc Sa0.000.OOO. Tho
Republicans, in charge of Uio campaign,
iuuu wouiu iikc to see one-tenth or the
money Governor Cox said they were
raising and expending.
Instead of being a year of lavish con
tributions, it is n year of dire poverty.
When jthe writer entered Republican
headquarters here vesterdnv hi hpAnl

he had bills for this, that and other

At present funds are dribbling in
at the rate of 50.000 to $00,000
a day. Money is still being raised
nccording to tho plan borrowed
from the Red Cross and Y. M. C. A.
drives with the $1000 limit still stand
ing. At this rate not enough money
will probably be rnifced before election
dny to meet the existing deficit nnd
the heaviest expenses of the campaign
nre still to come in the labt two weeks
before election.
Troubles Not Due fo Cox
The troubles of the Republican treas
urer do not comp from Governor Cox's
charges that vast sums wero being
raised to buy tho presidency. No par
ticular effect wns felt from those
charges. Collections went on nt just
about tho smite nito nfter Governor
Cox hnd made, his attnek ns before.
In Chicago n drive for $500,000 was
being conducted just nt the moment
when the Kenyon committee wns inves
tigating Governor Cox's charges, nnd
this drive wns ndversely affected.
