KARJRISBtfRa TELEGRAPH SENATOR PENROSE OPPOSES REPEAL OF PRIMARY LAW Says Even Presidential Candi dates May Have to Go Be fore the People Direct Philadelphia, March 20. Senator Eyre's bill in,the Legislature, which would repeal the law for the nomi nation and election of judges upon the non-partisan ballot, and which would return to the old convention system for the nomination of state officials, will not have the support of Senator Penrose, according to an interview in the Xortli American to day. "X am sick and tired of changing the election laws," Penrose said, "My personal opinion is tliat the popular primary lias come to stay, and we seem to get along fairly well with the non-partisan election of judges. What sentiment exists in the Legis lature to change the method of elect ing judges I am unable to say, as I have not been in Philadelphia long enough to find out." He called attention to the fact that next year will be a peculiar one po litically, because for the first time in the history of the Republican party the presidential primary will func tion. He said that from fifteen to twenty states have the presidential primary law. "It is not unlikely the candidates for the presidential nomination will be called on to appear in the states and face the people," he said. "And it is likely that the people will have a more direct say in voicing their expressions than ever before." Penrose said that the league of na tions may be a presidential issue, but expressed his belief that more im portant will be the tariff, the econom ic reconstruction of the country and retrenchment and economy. "A very important issue which will give the Republicans great advant age is that of retrenchment and economy,' Senator Penrose said. "Dur ing the war, of course, money was spent most wastefully and many ill advised projects were taken up which now will have to be scrapped. But the disheartening feature of the sit uation under the present Democratic regime is that with the war over, and the expenses of the war supposed to be reduced materially, the car nival of wasteful expenditure seems, to be continuing unabated. "Toward the. close of the last ses sion, I showed on the floor of the Senate in a very casual survey of bills pending more than $10000.000,000 of appropriations, mostly for chi merical projects and mostly indorsed by departments or reported favorab ly by committees, and any of them likely to have passed had they been reached before adjournment. Among the possibilities most talked of for the Rpublican nomination for President, Senator Penrose said that Senator Knox, of Pennsylvania, "is favorably thought of by both wings of the party and is fully equipped for the place. Others prominently men tioned, he said, are Senators Poin dexter, of Washington; Watson, of Indiana; Harding, of Ohio, and Gov ernor Louden, of Illinois. Former President Taft, he said. General Leon ard Wood and General Pershing are less actively mentioned. Senator Penrose expressed his be lief that President Wilson will call Congress in special session within a month or six weeks. HARRISBURG MAN A WILSON GUARD [Continued from First Page.] Guard proved escorts befitting the dignity of a chief executive in a foreign land may be judged by the following commendation written by Brigadier General William W. Harts, commanding general, of the District of Paris: "The 250 enlisted men who were on duty as United States guards at the President's residence on the Place de Murat and at the Hotel Crillon from December 26 to Febru ary 14 performed this duty in a cred itable and commendable manner, yheir appearance .soldierly bearing and smart performance of duty has been the subject of a great deal of favorable comment. The command ing general of the District of Paris wishes to convey his congratulations and appreciation for the service." Bingaman was in training for a commission when the armistice was signed, ending the urgent demand for officers. His reward came in the orders to report at Paris to serve as personal bodyguard to the President. During his stay in Paris he was with the President almost daily at the Hotel Murat, where the Presi dent lived, and at the Hotel Crillon, where the peace delegates from the United States were staying. He fre quently saw Clcmenceau, Lloyd George, Poincare and the other in ternational figures at the Peace Con ference. Bingaman has the distinction of being one of the first body of Ameri can soldiers to act as a guard for the chief executive of the United States in a foreign land. He had ample opportunity to see Paris when not on duty. Jt was as pleasant an as signment as anx enlisted man had overseas. The Presidential Guards were quartered at 71 Boulevard Perier, in the large building assigned to the American War Department. Captain B. F. Hood commanded the unit. When the President sailed from Brest on February 15 his guards came with him on the George Washington. Ten days later the President landed at Boston, but the Presidential Guards first set foot on native soil at Hoboken the next day. From there they went north in New Jersey to Camp Merritt, where they have been held nearly a month now. No other unit has remained at Merritt more than a weejc after land ing. There is a rumor that the Presidential Guards are to be used to stimulate sales in the impending Victory Loan.

Board Members and In dustry Leaders Are to Meet Today Washington, March 20. Agree ment otp a new schedule of steel prices, which is to be the first step in the government's plan to revise com modity prices downward as a stimu lus to buying and industrial recon struction, had not been reached last night after an all-day conference between a committee of the Amer ican iron and steel institute and members of the industrial board of the Department of Commerce. The steel men and the board will meet again to-day, however, and indica tions are that a satisfactory basis for price readjustment will be ar rived at shortly. "We found the steel men entirely willing to co-operate in making ef fective any program which will hasten the return to normal condi tions," said George N. Peck, chair man of the board. "It is'as yet im possible to tell just how long it will take to formulate the new 'price schedule." Members of the steel committee, headed by Judge E. H. Gary, chair man of the United States Steel Cor poration, conferred among them selves late to-day but no announce ment beyond the statement that they would meet the government repre sentatives again td-morrow was forthcoming. Charles M. Schwab, chairman of the Bethlehem Steel Company, who is a member of the committee, was unable to be in Washington because of illness. The steel men. It is understood, are determined to agree to the gov ernment proposals if they can be shown that conditions will be bene fited. As the first industry called into conference with the new gov ernment price hoard, the steel men have taken the position that the exact relations between the indus try, the board and other government departments should be clearly de fined before any permanent sort of arrangement is made. The board lias proposed tliat a steel price schedule be formulated which the board, as a representative of the government, will approve as "fair price" at which the govern ment will buy. Government buying, it is believed, then will immediately stimulate outside buying and hasten the return of normal conditions. The steel men want to be convinced tliat government departments, notably the railroad administration, will buy at the prices determined upon as fair," and that the industry will not fall afoul of any legal obstacles to price agreements, such as the Sherman anti-trust act. Although it was announced that satisfactory progress had been made, it was made clear at the same time tliat the price question had not been threshed out. The steel men, it is understood, did not present a new schedule to the hoard, but it was intimated this subject was given pre liminary consideration at the steel men's meeting late yesterday. Think Kciluctions Necessary Since the signing of the armistice reductions ranging from $3 to $6 a ton on steel products have been made effective by the industry itself, but further reductions are considered necessary to induce freer - buying. However, some of the smaller, liigh cost producers, who were able to drive a big business when the war prices and the war demand was on, are said to be opposed to any sharp reductions. TO DRAG RIVER FOR BODIES OF MEN [Continued from First Page.] it on Tuesday night, unless trace is found of them within a short time. No time has been set for the start of the search, but it is believed that men with nets and boats may work Sate to-day or early to-morrow. The boat was found on an island oppo site New Market this afternoon. Themem left their respective homes on Tuesday night to cross the river to their work at the Steelton plant of the Bethlehem Steel Company in a light duck boat. A heavy wind storm was blowing at that time and it is believed to be practically cer tain that the men were overturned and drowned. Several New Cum berland residents to-day remembered that they had heard screams from the direction of the river on Tues day night, that an engine had cross ed the bridge nearby and drowned them out, and after that nothing further was heard. To-day it is believed that the heavy" wind overturned the light boat and threw the men into the cold, swirling water. Conditions were quite adverse for swimming and are described by rivermen as bein such as would tax the strength of expert swimmers. Trimble was considered a good swimmer, but Graham could not swim a stroke. No alarm was felt by the relatives of the missing men yesterday morn ing when they failed to return home at the usual time, it being thought that they were merely working over time. When neither had appeared until noon, relatives telephoned to the Bethlehem Hteel Company where it was learned that neither had ap peared for work on the preceding evening. A later investigation allow ed that the men had not landed their boat at the accustomed place. Graham is about 38 years old and has a wife and seven children. At the time of his disappearance he wore dark troubers, brown coat, soiled qrmy shoes and a heavy storm overcoat. Trimble is described as being about 35 years old. with a wife and five children. He was dressed similarly to Graham. Gra ham had a rose tatooed on his left arm below the elbow. lIPIINBD WHILE AT AVOIIK Joseph Gevich. 130 Hoyer street, an employe of the Central Iron and Steel Company, is In the Harrisburg Hos pital with severe arm and leg burns, lie was working at one of the open hearths when a hot plate fell and came in contact with his clothes, which were somewhat burned before follow emtdoyes came to his assistance.

While the hoard held the Japanese sane the members refused to testify ns expert alienists, and would not tes tify as to mental status of the Japan ese before that period. On the other hand, Dr. John R. Oliver, medical officer of the Su preme bench of Baltimore city, and Dr. Charles G. Hill, head of Alount Hope retreat, declared Ishida in him. Those who declared Ishida sane at the time they examined contend ed that the Japanese, an expert on mental diseases, could easily feign insanity. ESCAPES POLICE AND REVOLVER FIRE [Continued front First Page.] Olean policemen who made the ar rest. allowed Snyder to step through the door ahead of him. He broke away, fled to the rear of the house, then into the next street and into railroad yards. Gilmore lired six bullets at him, but none took ef fect. Local police asked the Olean po l lice, department to pick up Snyder yesterday. His rooming place was located and after an all-night watch, Policemen Gilmore and Thomas Fitsspatrick went to the house. While Fitzpatrick was in Snyder's room, the young man entered and was placed under arrest by Gilmore. The policeman neglected to use hand cuffs and as they stepped onto the porch, Snyder stepped off the side and ran. In addition to the name which he assumed at Olean, Snyder is known as Harry McKay and Harry Poulton. He is wanted here on the charge of having forged two checks in De cember. He escaped before he could be arrested and fled to Baltimore and then to Philadelphia, in both of which cities he is also wanted on ! forgery charges He is described by city officials as being a drug addict, and in Philadelphia he passed one of the worthless checks for treat ment that he had received at one (of the hospitals.

It makes a very simple, in expensive shampoo, which cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly of all the dandruff, dirt and excess oil, leaving a wonderfuiy clean, whole some feeling. After its use you will find that the hair dries quickly and evenly, is never streaked in appear ance and is always bright, soft and fluffy; so fluffy, in fact, that it looks more abundant than it is, and so soft that arranging it becomes a pleasure. Just use a teaspoonful of canthrox, which you can get from any good drugist's, dissolve it in a cup of hot water; this makes a full cup of shampoon liquid, enough so it is easy to apply it to all the halt instead of just the top of the head. < ~V What Gorcns Makes Gorgas Guarantees Gorgas LIVER SALT clears the brain makes work easier and life i brighter i Regulates the Liver, Stomach and Bowels. 50c Gorgas Drug Stores 1(1 V.
