Penrose Denies the Charges of Brown Charges made before the Supreme Court yesterday in the Snyder appeal in the mandamus case by Attorney General Brown to the effect that Gov ernor Brumbaugh's appointments could have been confirmed if he had consented to dismiss Mr. Brown, brought <)ut a statement by Senator Penrose that he had never heard of such suggestions. The charges made somewhat of a sensation, which was enhanced by discussion of what might happen if an Attorney General declined to use quo warranto to inquire by what right a man held office. Senator Penrose said: "Mr> Brown's statement concerning political trans ections at the last session of the State Legislature has absolutely no connec tion with the legal questions which have been raised before the Supreme Court. The question involved is pure ly the act of the Executive in send ing nominations to the Senate and whether or not after they had been defeated for confirmation they could be made over again in the wav of a recess appointment, after the adjourn ment of the Senate. I never heard even a remote suggestion of any proposition to the Governor looking toward the removal of Mr. Brown. I I ear ho suffers from hallucinations and an exaggerated ego. I fail to comprehend how either his retention or removal would affect political con ditions in Pennsylvania." On the same subject the Vare point of view was voiced by Congressman William S. Vare In these words: "Mr. Brown Is well able to speak for him self. The situation requires no com ment from me." Great Interest in Appointments Case Few actions in the Supreme Court in recent years have attracted the attention of people at the State Capi tol as much as the argument In the Snyder appeal in the appointments case which was enlivened vestprday by Attorney General Brown's charge that appointments could have been confirmed at sacrifice of himself „~ Mr --,?, rown to comment upon his remarks In court, saying that jvbat he had said was common knowledge here last summer and that h< did not care to amplifv his state ments. Auditor General Snyder and Harry S. McDevltt. one of his coun sel. refused to make any comment Zut u At „ tor " e y General's statements, but Mr. Snyder told friends that he had heart! of anything like what Mr. Brown had charged. Mr Sny der was one of the members of the Senate committee on nominations. H 1 o e ,.i >ove^ n .2 r . w ,"l not discuss the matter. What Interests the Capi tol Is the reference In the argument to the quo warranto as a means of ri^ ht to oftlce and the possibilities under a decision either way. PLEURISY IS ONE OF ARMY CAMP'S WORST DISEASES Dr. Moffitt, Home on Fur lough, Describes Conditions at Big Cantonment Imagine a gigantic horseshoe city, eight miles around, with a hospital covering sixty-seven acres all under root', and two-and-a-half miles of corridors, the city populated by 65,- 000 troops: cavalry, infantry, artil lery, and you may have some idea of Camp Lee, in Virginia, from where Dr. George R.

"How did you join the Army?" "I jes' followed all the rest of the boys, said he, and he had been In camp several months, without even legistering. Dr. Moffitt says that the medical and surgical aid at Camp Lee is of a very high class. Four of the men in the pathological department had training at Rockefeller Institute. There are eighty-two physicians on the staff, nearly all specialists. The medical end is headed by Major Litchfield, of Pittsburgh, one of the most famous physicians in the coun try, and the surgical department is in charge of Major Pepper, of Rich mond. About 100 nurses are now helping, but twice that number are needed. Dr. Moffitt is of the opinion that this camp life will do a great deal of good for the American youth, and the life is so attractive that he hears many a one say he would like to live it forever. U.
