Senntor Penrose obtained iceognition
and sent his "bills, petitions and reso

One of tin in was a hilltuiaUiiig Armistice
Day a legal holiday. Another provided
for the removal of the" body of an un

Penrose, Kprc!cil to Tahe Kcal Charge
Willi Iho leluru of Senator Penrose
to the helm of the Senate liimiu-e com
mittee Senate leaders expected today to
see an early determination of the pro
cedurc in the handling of the Pordney
emergency tariff. Although no formal
call has gone out it was understood
Senator Pentose would get his com- ,
mittce together tomorrow- to do-lde .
what aellon would be taken on the
I-'ordne. bill, in which he has nlieniL
announced his npposiiinn.
Those closest to Peuiosp declared In'
would seek to avoid nu.v action on the.
Pordney hill at this session. Senator
Penrose is expected to icsiime colitlol I

not be computed, i
The nrgumcut.s made by Representa

Illinois, in opposing the bill have won
coiiM'its to his snle. There is evidence
Hint some nf the Republicans who voted I
lor it, if given another opportuiiit.v . ,
would vote against it or demand that
piotecticin be affordeil for iudustiies

J. I.. Rockel, lino South Sixtieth
street, sustaining severe cuts nnd
bruises with n rossiblo fracture of the
skull. Rockel took the injured woman
in his enr to St. Luke's Hospital and
then gave himself up nt the German -town
nvenue nni Lycoming street station.
Preferring deatli to nrrest on n chnrge
of poeketplcklng, Helen Ronlok. of
PJ2." Harnln street, threw herself in
front of n westbound trolley ear nt
.Sixteenth and Arcn streets yesterday.
She wnu dragged nearly 101) feet nicl
physicians nt tlie Hahnemann Hospital
say her condition Is serious.
The charges against the girl were
preferred by Harry Levin, who said
he lives near Sixth and Pine streets.
Levin, who pointed the ijlrl out to the
police, said that after he had escorted
the girl to lier home three nights ago
he inlsed his pookotbook.
Yesterday Levin while out walking
met the girl nt Twelfth nnd Market
streets. Asking her If she wanted to
take n vvnik Levin led the vvny out Arch
street. Levin told the police after
ward that he escorted the girl through
the downtown section In the hopes of
ii ii .11 ni? a nollreman.
At Sixteenth and Areli stieets Icvin
saw Detective McCullough. of tlie
Fifteenth nnd Vino streets st.ntion.
Turning to tho girl he snld. "Some
nights ngo on stole some money from
mo. Over there Is n delcctivc and I nm
going to hand you to him."
With n scream the girl broke nwoy
from Levin's grasp and ran out into
the middle of Arch street. At this In
stant a westbound enr came Into sight
nnd before any one could prevent her
tho girl hnd hurled herself in front of
the car. Tho motorman applied his
brakes, but could not stop the trolley
under 100 feet.
Pedestrians nnd policemen crawlon:
under the car nnd found tho girl pin
ioned under tho front truck near the
axle. After working for live minutes
she wns extricated nnd taken to tho
hospital, where physicians found that
slio was suffering from fractures of both
