SA'IXTRDAY EVENING.
TWO KILLED IN
COLLEGE FIRE
Students Lose Lives Trying to
Save Records at Penn,
Oskaloose, lowa
By Associated Press
Oskaloosa, lowa, May 27. Two
men were killed, two probably fatally
injured and property damage esti
mated at between eighty and one
hundred thousand dollars wrought by
the lire which at 4 a. m. to-day broke
out in the main building of Penn Col
lege here.
Robert H. Williams, business man
ager of the college and State secretary
of the Prohibition party and Harry
Oakley, a freshman, were killed.
George Minear nnd Howard Kelley,
students, are In the hospital and may
die.
The fire started in the biological
laboratory on the second floor of the
building and reached a tank of alcohol
which exploded, scattering the blaze
ir. ail directions.
liuricd Under Debris
Williams and Oakley were killed
while attempting to save the college
records. The fire reached the
cupola and the four ton college bell
crashed down through the building,
wrecking the front wall and burying
the victims under tons of debris.
Minear and Kelley are believed to
have suffered internal Injuries. They
were hurt while rescuing the S. A. M.
Ryers art collection in the chapel hall.
This collection is said to be worth
fifty thousand dollars. Defective elec
tric wiring is believed to have started
the fire.
BIG SHAKE-UP ON
HILL IS RUMORED
[Continued From First Page]
heeds. There are no lack of appli
cants for places.
Graham R. Hurd, Genessee, Potter
county; Lloyd D. Lubold, Ellzabeth
ville, Dauphin; A. D. Fetterman,
Nescopeck, Luzerne, who were dis
missed last evening and Samuel R.
Ogden, Lansdowne, Delaware county,
and Robert M. Korer, Rlchboro.
Bucks county, given notice earlier in
the day, are all "regular" Republicans
and come from senatorial districts
whose senators were not in sympathy
with the Ambler candidacy and who
are generally classed as Penrose men.
Some of the men dismissed scouted the
statement that they were dropped on
efficiency grounds and declared it was
nothing more than politics. They
sharply criticized the Auditor General
and some said they had never heard
of complaint of their competence.
Three of the men contributed to the
Powell candidacy, but got checks
back. The whole trouble has been
brewing for some time.
Chief Clerk W. B. Kay declined last
night to add to his statement of yes
terday that the men had been drop
ped for "the good of the service and
for conduct and language subversive
of discipline and efficiency." Mr.
Powell was not here when the dismis
sals weren't out, but it is said will
stand by them and any more to be
made.
The dismissals came as a thunder
clap and the inauguration of the
en\ elope system of payments was
taken as an ill omen. About half the
men of the force have not been paid
yet. Monday is being awaited with
mixed feelings.
The inside seems to be that there
has been more or less feeling in the
department for a year and some of
the dismissed men hint at "depart
ment politics." It is said that some
of the men who contributed to the
Powell personal campaign fund did so
with a lot of grumbling and that they
complained so much and assailed their
bureau chiefs to such an extent that
the chiefs demanded that the Auditor
General let them make some ex
amples. Mr. Powell told them to go
ahead and left the city.
Governor Brumbaugh went from
here to Quarryville where he dedi
cated a school and made a speech on
agriculture yesterday and then went
on to Philadelphia, where he will re
main until Monday. The Governor
is said not to be in sympathy with the
proposed "housecleaning" on the Hill,
but his advisers are demanding that
some examples be made. The result
will be made known when he returns
Monday.
The collapse of the charges of
frauds and the fact that the allega
tions In Northumberland county are
not "panning out" the way expected
may have something to do with the
sharp tempers of some of the Gov
ernor's henchmen. They insist, how
ever, that they have had nothing to
do with the Powell decapitations as
they are a matter for the head of a
department not under the Governor.
The removals, if they occur, will
come quickly for the time until the
State committee and the national dele
gates meet Is growing short.
Reports that State Treasurer Young
contemplated some change in his de
partment were laughed at to-day.
The Capitol was keenly Interested
to-day in the statement of Senator
Penrose that there would be harmony
at Chicago. This statement was eag
erly discussed by Roosevelt men.
Senator Penrose said: "I am more
than gratified with the sentiments ex
pressed by representative men from all
sections of the country whom I met in
New York during the last twenty-four
hours," said Senator Penrose. "There
is the greatest confidence manifested
in a harmonious and highly successful
meeting of the Republican National
convention. Factional differences
which existed in many States have dis
appeared and there is a general dispo
sition to work together for party suc
cess this Fall. The fact that a very
large majority of the National dele
gates are going to Chicago unpledged
and with their minds free for an ex
change of views and opinions as to the
most available candidate to be named
for the presidency is very reassuring.
I look for a getting together, after
there shall be conferences.in which the
whole situation shall be freely review
ed and discussed without bias or pre
judice and the nomination of a ticket
which will be elected in November."

trict of Columbia, on board, is on Its way to Pittsburgh enroute to San Francisco and iack by wav of Santa Fe and
Albuquerque. The car left Boston on April 8. and will get back to the Hub city the latter part of July.
A clever arrangement on the front of the automobile for cutting wires nnd preventing entanglements, a heavy
ax, a periscope, a supply of explosives, for the purpose of blowing up obstructions along the road, and all the other
paraphernalia of an up-to-date, fully equipped armored car are a part of the equipment. Mr. Forrest, by the wav,
expressed himself as heartily In favor of tederalizing the National Guard, and expressed it as his belief that the
country should have a standing army of at least 500,000.
BLAKSLEE SLAMS
MAIL AMENDMENTS
Tells Senate Committee That
Changes Are Surrender
to Railroads
By Associated Press
Washington, D. C., May 27. —Fourth
Assistant Postmaster General Blaksiee
told the Senate post office committee
to its fac eto-day he considered its
amendments to the postal bill a .sur
render to the railroads, and although
he drew upon himself the wrath of
senators at the hearing, he defended
his action in organizing a campaign
against the amendments.
The committee met to investigate
charges that Blaksiee organized a
lobby. Blaksiee frankly told the com
mittee he considered their amend
ments bad, took up the bill in detail to
prove his charge that they were a sur
render to the railroads, and defiantly
told the senators of his work for their
defeat.
Takes Full Responsibility
The amendments to which Blaksiee
referred concern the railway mail pay,
which is a long-standing controversy,
and the rural delivery. He told the
senators they had by their amend
ments given the railroads what they
wanted and ould disorganize 800 rural
delivery routes and inconvenience
300,000 citizens. He told the commit
tee he had acted without the knowl
edge of Postmaster General Burleson.
BUY GASOLINE
BY THE BUCKET
Automatic Mechanism Tests I)o
Not Show Best Results;
Preparing Ordinance
Automobile owners and chauffeurs
who buy gasoline from automatic
pumps will have a chance to see for
themselves whether or not they get
what they pay for if Council adopts
legislation on the subject which City
Sealer Harry D. Reel will prepare in
the near future.
While the amount of fluid purchased
is indicated by meter on many of
the pumps, the purchaser has no
means of determining just what he
actually gets, especially if the me
chanism of the pump be fauty, ac
cording to Dr. Reel.
The only remedy in Mr. Reel's
opinion, is to require the gasoline
salesman to have readily at hand the
gallon, 5-gallon or large receptacle
which can be filled before the pur
chaser's eyes.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR"
A FRIEXD OF THR DOG
To the Editor of the Telegraphr
I notice in a recent Issue of your
paper that eleven persons have been
bitten by vicious dogs running at
large in the streets of the city. As a
friend of the dogs, and in their behalf
I wish to state I have been a resident
of this city for over fifteen years, and
must see the first canine yet that I
am afraid of, for after speaking kind
ly to them, which 1 do every day to all
clogs that I meet I soon have them my
friends and if the majority of the peo
ple, when they meet a dog, would dis
play as much intelligence as the dogs
do with the expression of their eyes,
and wags of their tails, I know there
would be fewer persons bitten by
them, for a dog only takes you as you
take him, and when a dog comes up to
you wagging his tail he always takes
you for a gentleman, and if Instead
of kicking and cutting him you would
recognize him as he does you, you
would find a friend that will always
stand by you. As Senator Vest has
said in his famous "eulogy on the
dog," "The one absolute? "unselfish
fiiendi that man can have in this sel
fish world, the one that never deserts
him, the one that never proves un
grateful or treacherous is his dog."
So let us, when we see a dog acting
queer, treat him kindly by giving him
something to eat, or a drink of water,
and you will find you will have such
as quoted above by Senator Vest.
Very respectfully yours,
CHARLES HENDERSON.

A NEWSPAPER POEM THAT HAS
KEEN QUOTED 10,000 TIMES
In the June American Magazine is
an account of Arthur Chapman, a
Denver newspaper man, whose poem
entitled "Out Where the West Be
igins," appeared in the Denver Trib-
I une in 1910.
"Chapman has been reminded »f his
poem ten thousand times since. For
the verses were just starting on the
grand tour that has made them the
most popular bit of fugitive verse since
Hiley was in his prime. The New
York Sun. which has always had an
eye alert to the merits of Chapman's
column, ran next week 'Out Where
the West Begins.' Since then almost
every paper of consequence in the
i country has reprinted the famous lit—
j tie poem.
1 "The verses have crossed the Pacific
Ito Australia and Hongkong, and the
Atlantic to England. All over the
west you may find the poem pinned
on walls and pasted in scrap-books.
It hangs in the office of the Secretary
of the Interior at Washington. It
has been quoted several times on the
floor of the House of Representatives
land may be dug out of the flies of
ithe Congressional Kecord. At least
Jwo governors—Arthur Capper of Kan
sas and John B. Kendrick of Wyom
ing—have used "Out Where the West
Begins' as campaign material. High
j school boys declaim it when they are
! graduated; and elocutionists fling it at
I the head of their audiences. Enter-
I prising firms have got it out on their
advertising as souvenirs. You may
pick it up on postal cards at curio
stores and find it on sofa pillows and
birch bark ornaments."
