Penn. Senator Throws
Down Gauntlet and Starts

Mayor Reyburn and Old

Especial from United Press.)

Especial from United Press.)
Philadelphia, Aug. 26-The action of
limited States Senator Penrose, who
has inherited the mantle of the late
Senator Quay as the leader of the Re-
publican machine, breaking with the
machine leaders in this city, has as
founded the rank and file of the party.
1t is admitted, today, that it means
that the fight of the progressives
against the "old guard in the state
and city at last seems certain to be
crowned with success and also means
that the reform element has won a
struggle lasting over 10 years.
Penrose positively endorses George
H. Earle, Jr., as his choice for the
machines selection for mayor.
That the most bitter fight in the
political history Of Philadelphia is i'm
pending is shown by Penrose's state
ment which constitutes an ultimatum
to Mayor Reyburn.
Fraud or coercion of office holders
will be promptly and vigorously re-
sisted regardless of who is hurt de-
clares Penrose.
The machine leaders, today, intimat-
ed Penrose's charge of fraud was
made for effect because of the coming
presidential campaign. They insist
ed they would control the Republican
machine and would nominate their
choice for mayor

Hartmann Brewing Go.
Sues Mrs. Umstatter
Second Chapter Of Rivalry
Between Liquor Dealers
for East End Trade

The rivalry among brewers to gain
foothold in the thirsty. section at
Williston avenue and Bunnell street
has resulted in the Hartmann Brewing
CO. bringing suit against Anna Eggers
who conducts a saloon in
that vicinity. The brewing company
filed papers in the Superior court to-
day asking for $1,100 damages.
It is claimed that on Feb. 1, 1910,
the defendant asked the company to
install bar fixtures in her saloon.
These fixtures, valued at $911.39, were
PUT in. 1t is alleged that Mrs. UNI
sta tier promised to pay for them but
never did so. An employe of the
Hartmann Co. named Frank Burnett
recently obtained a transfer of Ii
cense from Halam street to Williston
avenue and Bunnell street, so it looks
as if Mrs. Umstatter invited competi-
ton when she decided to give up Hart
mann'S beer

COL. AsTOR's DIVORCE BALL.

Col. Aston is AZ and his son Vincent
is year older than the girl who is to
be his stepmother Col Astor's first
wife divorced him about two years
ago and the courts ruled that he can
not marry in the state of New York
for five years, and not even then with
out special permission. / do not
know just what this means. 1t is not
necessary for, man to marry in New
York, when every other state is open
to him. The first Mrs. Aston got her
divorce on statutory grounds and had
no difficulty in getting it.
Immediately the divorce was grant
ed Col. Astor gave a ball to celebrat tie
the event, and it was attended by
people Of whom one had a right to
expect better things. OF course, there
were many invited who did not go,
but the majority went although they
freely expressed their opinion of their
host. But it was a great social event
and such an original idea-to give a
dance in celebra ton Of the divorce
that his wife got from him, not he
from her, mind you.-Jeannetta Gill

To Help Fight
Leopard Moth
In New Haven
Especial from United Press.)

New Haven, Aug. 26-United States
Forester Professor Henry S. Graves
has responded to the appeal of the city
fathers for help in fighting the Loop
ard moth which is killing the elm
trees. Director Of Public Works S. w.
Scott, today, received the following
self-explantory letter from Professor
Graves:
my Dear Sir:
1T is with great regret that 1 hear
of the attack on the New Haven
elms by the leopard moth. While
have never had an opportunity to
study the life history of this insect 1
have seen something of it's depreda-
tions in Massachusetts.
Upon receipt of your letter I send
one of the best men of the bureau Of
entomology to get all the facts which
are known by that bureau regarding
this insect in the hope that we may
be able to find some way to assist you
in your problem. 1 am exceedingly
sorry that 1 am obliged to go west at
once and therefore cannot follow this
up personally. Mr.. Sudworth will
write to you further and will explain
whether there is anything which we
can do to help you at this end through
cooperation with the Bureau of en-
tOmOlOgy''

Do False Teeth
Exempt From The
Personal Taxi

Is man with false teeth exempt
from paying his personal tax? This
question will be decided by the Con-
necticut courts this winter, the Ques-
ton having been brought up by q
claim Of exemption filed by New
Britain farmer.
According to curious law which
has been on the statute books since
the Civil war, a man with false teeth
Is not liable to military duty and un-
der the exemption from the personal
tax, which excludes military duty, IT
is claimed that a man with false teeth
need not pay the tax.
The raising of this question has caus-
ed no end Of chewing throughout the
state. The personal tax collectors
here are worried and the dentists are
looking forward brightly. If a mans
false teeth exempt him from 81 a
year tax, then they may be looked
upon as bringing a revenue of 81 per
annum. Now this sum is high in
terest on the price of a set of false
teeth. Won't that be an inducement
for everyone to get rid Of his natural,
uncertain and aching molars, and
substitute symmetrical and painless
artificial ones? This is an important
question and should be decided by
the Supreme court with great care.

it is all off, for last night telegram

The first telegram announcing the

John F. Callahan, Thursday, and pur-
ported to come from Mr.. McAlear.
Members Of Court Ericsson met in
the office Of Henry Calnen that night
and sent a message Of congratulation
to the interested parties at Detroit,
asking the date Of Mr.. Cosgrove's re-
turn to Hartford. The two courts met
last night to arrange for the recep-
ton, and the telegram from the real
Mr.. McAlear denying the report, was
presented by Mr.. Calnen and read to
members Of Court Ericsson. 1t Is
thought that some practical joker sent
the canard in the name Of Mr.. Nc

DANGER OF TUBERCULOSIS IN
FICTION THROUGH BUTTER.

The possibility of the transmission
Of tuberculosis by milk is now we'll
known. The equal danger of tuber-
culosis being carried by butter is only
beginning to be realized Yet cream
contains tubercle baci1li in even lar
ger quantities than milk 1t is diff
ncult to state the percentage of con-
tamfnation, but it probably averages
a pout Y per cent. The germs Of
tuberculosis can live in the butter. in
spite Of the salt which it contains,
and the cold temperature in which it
is stored, for period of about three
months; in fact, in some cases the
germs have been found to increase
per cent. of salt and stored at a
temperature of zero centigrade. Dr..
Alfred F. Hess of New York in a. r.
cent number of The Journal of the
American Medical Association calls at
tention to this danger and says that
the public should be warned against
impure butter as we'll as against i'm
pure milk. AS q remedy, he propos-
es the manufacture of a certified
grade of butter, to be made under
the same conditions as certified milk.
The demand for such butter could
never be general, as the price would
be prohibitive to many, but there are
probably many who. If aware of the
danger of ordinary butter, would will
lingly pay the additional price for a
safe product for their children. Ger
titled butter would be primarily for
children, just as certified milk is, pri-
mariily, for infants, children and in
valids. On the other hand, pasteur-
lied butter-that is, butter made of
pasteurized milk-costs but little
more than ordinary butter, and does
not differ from it in taste, color or
appearance. In Denmark, for in
stance, pasteurized butter is the sta
pie. 1t is also made and sold in
many European countries. A pasteur-
lied butter will be put on the mar
ket of New York in the near future,
at cost of cents per pound more
than raw butter. This increase is
permissible under the circumstances,
but it will probably not be necessary
when the demaCd for such butter has
been established.

PERSONAL TAX
COLLECTORS TO CALL

The personal tax collectors announc-
ed today that they would start out on
their collections of unpaid taxes on
Monday morning. making their start
in East Main street. During this week
all the paid taxes were checked up,
while this afternoon the collectors
completed the arranging Of the unpaid
lists both alphabetically and numeric-
ally
In making their rounds the collectors
will make but one call. If the tax
payer is not at home or has not left
the taxes for the collector, he will be
given two weeks in which to appear
at the collectors Offices, Room 81, City
Hall. Following this procedure, IL
the taxes stin remain unpaid the name
OF the delinquent will be turned over
to the prosecuting attorney for ac-
ton.
The collectors will not confine their
attentions to one part of the city at
the same time. The bigger streets
will be gone through first, it being
just as likely that the collectors will
be on the East Side one day and the
West End the next. During the col
lections one collector will always re-
main in the office
