Bv a Staff Correspondent
Mtsbnrgh, Jan. 7. Governer Sproul
irrled here this morning nt 7:40
it'cteek, accompanied by his private scc
Jntery, Marry S. McDcvltt, te confer
with United States Senater William E.
Crew, who Is III at the Merer Ilesnltal.
ViBmater Crew Ik new, of course, the
"Hnier united amies nenaier irem
Pennsylvania, though he hai been In
bis Mat only twice, and the Governer
flihts te talk ever with htm the ques
tion of a successor te Senater Penrose
lid t also the question whether Senater
I'fCrew will be a candidate te succeed
himself at the Mny primary.
Js'e one met the Governer when he
ttrlltd at the station, and he went te
fcVilllBin.J'enn Hetel-for breakfast.
ltndlng te call en Senater Crew
(beat 10 or 11 o'clock this morning.
The visit te Senater Crew takes en
'Stressed Importance at this time be-
cinie of the endeavor In some quarters
te arrange en alliance between the Oov Oev Oov
ttner nnd Jeseph It. Grundy, both of
whom for many months past have been
r
t:j far apart politically.
Crew nilter Opponent of Grundy
Within the last week the Governer
and Mr. Grundy conferred In Phila
delphia. Senater Crew, however, whom
tl 'Governer always refers te as "old
Crew," has been a bitter opponent of
Mr Grundy.
The Governer declined this morning
'te discuss the question of his appoint
ment of a successor te Senater Penrose.
"Hew Is the Pepper boom?" the
Gorerner was asked as he sat In the
itttcroem of the train pulling into
Pittsburgh.
The Governer rubbed some of the
sleep out of his eyes and replied with a
SfflllSi
"I don't take Pepper before break
fist." Sir. McDevitt, with the obvious in
tention of cutting off the discussion, in
terjected :
"Yeu had better take that with a
fltln of salt befere breakfast."
The question new Is, will the Pepper
koem take en any Increased vitality after
lie Governer's breakfast. The Gov
"nor announced that he did net expect
' te from here' te Washington where,
Prerumably.'-he would confer with the
President.

FIREMEN DEFY DEATH FROM

Fire which destroyed the Norris

early today, spared a silk American
flag draped in the pulpit.
Though the flames raged in the edi

Burning the pews and ether furnishings,

without being se much as scorched.
Only the golden cngle en top of the
flagstaff was n little tarnished. The
wooden P"le escaped even a charring
breath of flame. nnd there was no ninrk
pr blemish en the silk banner Itself as
It was found by flrcmen.
It was after tens of water had been
poured into the church, from water
towers in the street, nnd lndders perched
precariously en nillnlnlnr i-nnfa !...
the firemen were nble te enter the edifice
mm rescue me neg.
Three alarms were turned In. almost
half the fire apparatus of the city re
sponding. The neighborhood was dense
with fire engines and hundreds of fire
men fought the llnmcs.
Just Tald Mortgage
The fire was'pnrtlculnrly unfortunate,
as the churchjhad but recently cele
brated its golden jubilee, nnd th6 last
9f the mortgage had been pnid off diid
much money spent en improvements.
The less ls estimated nt mere than
$75,000, of which only $22,000 is cov
ered by insurance.
Pastors of two neighbor churches, the
Norris Square United i'lcsbyterinn
Church, nt Hancock ntrept- nml Sncnnn.

Church, nt Hancock and Yerk streets,
offered the use of their edifices te the

The fire was discovered shortly after

organ, lighting 1i1k way in the dark

said, nnd umm returning found 41m fin.

The engines, trucks, tower wagons

crowded the smnJl streets in the neigh

'lurried te see the flames, and a heavy
letall of police was mvded te keep
them bnek out of the firemen's way.
The fire spread k fast that it was
impossible te make headway against it.
