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

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

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.
Old Housekeeper of
Gilbert Family Dies
Annie Parthemore, aged 68 years,
who, for forty-seven years has' been
a housekeeper for the Gilbert family
in Harrisburg, died to-day at noon at
the residence of Mrs. Lyman D. Gil
bert, 203 North Kront street.
Death was due to a general break
down. following an illness covering a
period of one year. Annie Parthemore
was a native of Highspire and came
to Harrisburg when she was nineteen
years of age. She leaves many rela
tives scattered throughout Dauphin
county, and in Harrisburg-. Her first
employment was with the family of
the late Henry Gilbert.
Later she became housekeeper for
Mr. and Mrs. Lyman D. Gilbert serv
ing tills family faithfully for many
years. The funeral arrangements will
be announced later. It is probable
the body will be taken to Highspire
and that services will be held in the
United Brethren Church at that place.

Bull Moosers Next
The Washington party State com
mittee will meet to-morrow afternoon
and it is expected that aside from
fervid oratory there will be no rip
pling of the waters. State Chairman
A. Nevin Detrich arrived to-day to
see how the Democrats ran the ma
chine and to-night there will be a
mass meeting at which the State can
didates will address the assembled
multitude.
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

and at the same time keep the cost of
living to the lowest possible mini
mum; and,
"Whereas, The State has abundant
sources of revenue for all legitimate
needs aside from the mercantile li
cense imposed upon merchants and
dealers in goods, wares and merchan
dise, and confers Inappreciable bene
fits in return for said taxes: now,
[ therefore, be it

and tjjereby relieve the people and the
businessmen from this unnecessary
burden."
The other resolution follows:
"Whereas, The revenues derived
from automobile licenses throughout
the State and from fines and forfeit
ures realized from the violation of
State regulations governing the oper
ation of automobiles, are contributed
principally by residents and taxpayers
of the cities and boroughs of the State,
who are required to maintain the
streets and highways within their re

Plans for the preliminary campaign
to precede the November meetings,
when Stough will be here," were dis
cussed last ■ night at a meeting of
officers of the executive committee and
the Rev. F. T. Cart wright, associate
| evangelist.
It was decided last night that it will
be necessary to open headquarters in
some central part of the city, where
committee meetings may be held and
the general business of the campaign
may be transacted. It is more than
likely that the headquarters will he
opened in one of the downtown
churches.
Final action In this matter will be
| taken at a meeting of the executive
; committee next Monday night in Pine

LOW-RENT HOUSES "
TO BE ERECTED
Need of Homes For Moderate
Purses to Be Partly
Met Here
.
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.

Fred C. Miller will build, a $4,000

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 contract for alum was awarded
to the Pennsylvania Salt Manufacturing
Company. Philadelphia, at sl.o2per
hundred pounds. 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

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

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. MaeDonald
I intimates that Cora murdered the
i Myers girl.
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. Kramer
| told his companion to shut up, that i
! someone was listening on the outside.
'This morning the men refused to talk.
I They were held for twenty days on a
j charge of "vagrancy.
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. This number is by far
away above all expectations and shows
the manner in which the Library is be
ing used. Over 6,500 persons have
registered for book service, or about
ten per cent, of the whole population
of Harrisburg at the last census.
The circulation in May was natural
ly less than during the winter months
j when it ran above 11,000, amounting
to 6,981. In April the circulation was
7849.
During the same five month period
mentioned above the number of read
ers at the Library, that is persons
who spent half an hour or more read
ing a book numbered 17,635. Of this
number about one-third were under
sixteen years of age, showing the man
ner in which the Library is meeting
the educational needs of the city. In
May there were 2,612 readers and in
April 3,129.
The Library Is making a specialty
of timely books for reference and
j.ummir reading and Miss Alice R.
j "i, T Tartan, is preparing a
list of attractive summer reading.

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.
