12 Hm-TRUST BILL ! BOON TO COMBINES Senator Penrose Says It Would Foster Very Evils It Is De signed to Kill Atlantic City, N. J., June 3. Barnd- Ing the Clayton anti-tust bill as "leg islative meddling run riot," Senator Boles Penrose, in an address here to night at the banquet which concluded the eighteenth annual session of the National Association of Clothiers, as sailed the entire anti-trust program of the Administration. The cardinal point made by Senator Penrose was that the proposed anti-trust law would rebound to the disadvantage of the Independent business men and produc ers of the United States, rather than fulfill the purpose for which the bill has been designed—the curbing of monopoly. Senator Penrose maintained that any laws which may be construed as a pre vention of the freedom of contract were a direct blow at American trade, and that the not result of the anti trust bill would be a serious handicap to independent manufacturers and dealers and would help to foster the husiness of the big monopolies the small independents. "The sort of trade 1 refer to," said Senator Penrose, "is ordinary merchan dising. It has nothing to do with the output of so-called trusts or domestic competition. The danger Is to the or dinary foreign agency business for the product of any manufacturer, and the clause which is most threatening is Section 3 of the bill referred to, lines 14 to 21. This easily can be inter preted in such a way as to kill, at one stroke, most of the export business of our manufacturers. "Taken in conjunction with the phraseology of the previous bills, it is i too threatening to allow it to pass un challenged. The phraseology of all of these bills can be so construed as to prevent an ordinary agency contract, made between a manufacturer in tills country and a foreign selling agent on the basis which is necessary for the de velopment of the business and which is customary in international trade. REPUBLICANS CHEER 2 STIRRING SPEECHES [Continued from First Page.] again by applause. He started by saying that it was time for the party to reassert Itself. This started a crackling of applause which grew Into a right hearty manifestation of ap proval. He referred to the opportunity which presented Itself to the Repub licans to regain power for the benefit of the country, saying that thousands of idle men and mills on half time showed that theorists and psycholo gists had proved a perfect failure In attempting to govern the country. "Insofar as our candidate for Gov ernor Is concerned, he will have a walkover, and the balance of the ticket will go through sure," said Mr. Hicks. "But the fight of the Demo crats and the other enemies of the Republicans will be to dethrone the Republican organization, and their shafts will be leveled at our great leader, Boies Penrose." The mention of the name of Pen rose started a round of applause, which went on until there was cheer ing all over the hall. "Senator Pen rose represents what is straight and earnest in the Republican party," said the speaker, and the applause started all over again. "His defeat would mean the trailing of the Republican banner, that won victory under Lin coln, Grant, Garfield and McKinley. He Is the man with the devotion, cour age and enthusiasm. I come from the little rock-ribbed county of Blair and tip there we hall the return of men who have seen their mistake and who are back in line. In our part of the State we want a leader with devotion and courage and I present the name of our chairman, William E. Crow, for re-election." Senator Crow was re-elected unani mously and after thanking the com mittee for its expression of confidence, said that the stalwart Republicans had much work to do and that the organi zation should be a working and not a talking organization. "If we return Pennsylvania to the Republican col umn we will have done what the Re publicans elected us to do," said he. "The Republicans recognized the spirit and the letter of the State-wide pri mary law and the obligation rests on the Republican voters to elect the men nominated in a fair and open contest. Last year the committee work resulted in enrolling 700,000 men. It is still a stalwart State. The Republicans should be united and should work." The chairman closed with an admonition to start right now the preparations to get every Repub lican registered and to see that each one pays his taxes so that he can vote, saying, "See that every Republican is qualified to vote." W. Harry Baker Re-elected W. Harry Baker was re-elected sec retary after a little speech by Mr. Sipe, of Easton, who referred to him as an able and tireless worker. Treas urer Charles Johnson was also re elected. In order to secure the sentiment of the committee on platform-making, a resolution was presented by John R. Halsey, the Luzerne county chairman, providing that the chair should ap point a'committee of eleven to meet with the State chairman and candi dates to prepare a platform and re port to the whole committee in Sep tember. There were 103 of the 113 members present and the discussion was general. T. Larry Eyre thought lhat the Republicans should adopt a platform early. Mr. Halsey said that the time between the. primary and the meeting was very close and that ac tion could be postponed and the views of the candidates learned. Mr. Eyre objected to an indefinite date and sug gested two weeks hence in Philadel phia. Walter Lyon, ex-Lieutenant-Gover nor, suggested six weeks, but Mr. Eyre hung out for four. Finally the sug gestion of Mr. Lyon was adopted and Chairman Crow announced that the committee would be named within ten days and that when the platrorm had been adopted every committeeman would get a copy of the document in advance of the meeting. A committee of three on rule changes was provided by Dr. Thomas, of Westmoreland, and will also be named in a short time. Asa Root, of Hazleton, presented a resolution to fix Philadelphia as headquarters and it carried. The meeting will he called -for Phil adelphia on July in. One of the notable features of the meeting was that representatives of both the suffrage and anti-suffrage parties were present. The "pros" were represented by Mrs. Frank M. Rness ing and Miss Helen McFariand, and the /'antls" by Miss Emmeline Pipp and Miss Eliza D. Armstrong. They did not speak but met a number of Ihe committeemen. Ex-Speaker Frank R. McClain, nom inee for Lieutenant-Governor, was among the throng and got quite a re ception. Colonel T. P. Crago. nomi nee for Congress-at-large. was also here. W. H. Horner and <\ F. Moyer sat for Dauphin. The Thirty-first district members -present were J. A. Webb, WEDNESDAY EVENING HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH JUNE 3, 1914. NEW LEADERS OF ROTARY CLUB M >** v¥ um hhK HEBHjHpHBI GEORGE W. BOGAR, Director ;-$ Z ' V Mmm GEORGE W. MUMMA, Director BISHOP TALKS ON SALARY QUESTION Rt. Rev. Darlington Has a Plan Whereby No Rector Will Get Less Than SI,OOO a Year Lancaster, Pa., June 3. A plan whereby the minimum salary of a Protestant Episcopal minister shall not be less than SI,OOO a year if single, and SI,OOO a year and a house if married was advocated last night at the opening session of the tenth an nual convention of the Diocese of Harrisburg of the Protestant Episco pal Church by Bishop Darlington. Bishop Darlington in his annual ad dress spoke favorably of the work of a committee appointed last year to consider the minimum salary ques tion. Among the other phases of the plan is the provision Of automobiles for clergymen working in rural dis tricts. The Bishop also recommended that a committee be appointed to de vise a clergy pension fund on a busi ness-like basis. The Bishop also sounded what it is believed will be a keynote action to day in directing the convention's at titude toward the liquor laws. In this connection he said that the diocese will favor local option. A considerable portion of the Bishop's address was devoted to an earnest plea for more business-like methods in church affairs, and for more active church work by both elergymen and laymen. He urged that such a system be extended to the individual and family life, so that there should be a regular hour for rising in the household and the day should be started with tainily pray ers. He said too that the men of the church must do more active work and not leave it almost entirely to the clergy and to the women. During the day. the board of mis sions elected the Rev. Dr. Floyd Apple ton, the new rector of St. Paul's Church, Harrisburg, editor of the Harrisburg Churchman. This advis ory board was also chosen: The Bishop, Arch-deacons McMillan, of Carlisle; Nichols. Lock Haven, and Eastman, of Phillipsburg; General Missionary Baker, of Selinsgrove, and the Rev. Robert P. Gibson, Williams port.

The indications are that the Bull Moose contingent will not bother about, a platform, as that was pretty well outlined In January. The Wash- Ingtonlans will elect a chairman, probably Detrich, discuss rules and then the campaign. There will be speeches all along the line. " 1 JBSi It ' WgUil JOHN H.

Sky-Blue Very Latest in Dogs Learns Pretty Clerk He's—er—Nellie's a Regular Hound and Positively That's the Status of Her Complexion To get a dog license at the city dog bureau such description questions as kind, color, sex, weight, age, name, etc., must be answered; hence one learns lots about dogs and things at the dog license bureau.

A persistent tendency toward the. erection of houses suitable for the homes of persons enjoying a moderate income, such as artisans and small tradesmen, is noticeable in the city. For several years the need in Harris burg of such dwelling houses has been pointed out. This was one of the sub jects touched on at the recent conven tion of the Pennsylvania State Hous ing Association. In that body it de veloped that nearly all cities were fac ing the same problem. So far as Har risburg is concerned it appears that builders are now awakening to the situation and providing houses of this class. The largest operation of this sort in recent months will be that of William A. Mcllhenny, for whom E. G. Houch is building twenty-two two-story brick houses in Royal Terrace near State street, to cost $38,500. Another op eration on a slightly smaller scale will be that of J. E. Dare, who is his own builder and will erect ten two-story bricks, five in Vernon street, from 1545 to 1553, and five in Thompson street from 1542 to 1550. The cost will be $9,000 each. WILL BUILD S-STORY BRICK Fred C. Miller will build, a $4,000 three-story brick in Curtin street. COMPARISON OF MAY PERMITS May Building Permits.

Contracts For Alum For City Filter and New Boilers Are Let Harrisburg will only use about 200,- 000 pounds of alum to filter its water supply during the ten months from June 1, 1914, to April 1, 1915. And that is something like forty per cent, less than the amount that was used at the island filtration plant heretofore. City Commissioner Harry F. Bowman to-day awarded the contract for alum and hypochlorite of lime supplies. Since he assumed office he has been Irving to cut down the amount of alum for use in the city's water supply and this he has been gradually doing. The alum is used as a coagulant.

The Arnold-Hoffman Company got the contract for hypo chlolrte of lime at $1.70 per hundred. City Commissioner Bowman also awarded ihe contract for the four new boilers that are to be installed at the pumping station.

SAYS DELICITESSEN INCREASES DIVORCES The Rev. S. Parkes Cadman Finds Real Reason For Unhappy Marriages Special to The Telegraph New York, June 3.—The Rev. Dr. S. Parkes Cadman has found the real reason for the Increase of unhappy marriages and consequent increase of divorces. Speaking at a meeting for men at the West Side Young Men's Christian Association, Dr. Cadman said that these increases may be di rectly charged to the delicatessen store habit. "New York women are too prone to dip their lingers into every pickle jar of the corner delicatessen store in stead of cooking a wholesome meal for their husbands," he said. "There Is nothing that sends man Into the day better prepared for victory than a good breakfast and a clean shave. "Good breakfasts, homelike break fasts, the kind of breakfasts that do a man good, do not come from the deli catessen shop. The delicatessen shop is catering to a general trade and can not make things as each individual would like them. A quarter's worth of sliced ham from a delicatessen shop will not give a man the same satisfac tion that a home cooked slice of ham will. "The woman who does her own cooking can get better cuts and choices of meats and groceries than the wo man who lets the delicatessen shop select the goods for her. "Many men do not develop because of the poor cooking of their wives. Too many women are satisfied to stay in bed in the morning and let their ; husbands get what breakfast they arfe | able to. It is wrong to blame the man I in such cases if he becomes dissatis fied with home life. He '.s more to be | pitied than blamed, j "Married life is a partnership and a I woman should be enough interested in her husband's work to help keep him physically fit. Woman has her part to do in the struggle for success. It's not much encouragement for a man to cook his own breakfast while his wife stays abed for another nap." ■siiloL MURDERED HI2EL [Continued from First l'a«c.] I According to the girl's parents, who live in what is known as Sibletown, | Harrisburg, Cora has Gypsy blood in j her veins and has always been a wild I character. j Yesterday the Carlisle police re- I ceived a letter from "Bum" MacDon i aid, of near Shippensburg, In which I "Bum" says Cora told him she was I "goin' to get square" with the Myers girl for certain insults.

A conversation between two tramps, I Charles Kramer and Steve Noonan, overheard in the county jail ii*st night, also has revived activity on the part of 'the local authorities in their investiga tion of the rnurde of Hazel Myers two weeks ago. The men were arrested for drunkenness and.an underkeeper heard them talking about the murder. Noonan said he might, be able to tell who killed the Myers girl.

OVER 47.000 BOOK ; CIRCULATION NOW Unusual Record Made at the Har risburg Public Library Dur ing Five Months Figures compiled at the Harrisburg Public Library show that from Janu ary 3, the first day upon which books were issued, to May 29, a little less than Ave months 47,418 books were circulated.

BURNING OF STOLEN GOODS IS IDOII OF EXPRESS HGENT Police Learn He Had Built Huge Bonfire of Company's Merchandise Got any stolen goods around the houße? And are you afraid the cops 11 get you? Well, take a little hint from Ira Herman, 116 Summit street, this city, express messenger for the Adams Ex press Company. Don't Burn It! That's what Herman did and now he s under heavy bail to appear in court to answer charges of robbery. Herman was arrested yesterdav, charged with the theft of goods from the Adams Express Company, and to day a confession was drawn from him to the effect that he burned stolen goods valued at probably a hundred dollars. According to the storv told the police. Herman built a huge bon fire on an Allison Hill lot several weeks ago when he knew the com pany's agents were on his trail. Into the fire he threw all sorts of mer chandise, including pipes, tobacco, dress goods, shoes and what not. The police learned of the burning of the goods and that's how they came to nab the express agent. W. E. Murray, who resides at Belle vista, near New Cumberland, was also arrested last night on charges of rob bing from the express company. He told a story similar other employes arrested during the past two weeks. Murray and Herman have been em ployed by the Adams Express Com pany for a number of years. The report that Murray had started a chicken farm on eggs stolen from ex press packages was denied by a special agent of the company to-day. To date twelve arrests have been made. Eight of the cases will be tried in the Dauphin county courts, one in Blair county and three in the United States court. Most of the thefts oc curred within the jurisdiction of the Dauphin county court.
