PENNSYLVANIA GIVES DIREC- TONS FOR CONTEST TO STATE
 AND NATIONAL LEADERS.
PLANS IMPEACHMENT FIGHT
Senator Defies Anyone to Lay Case Before committee.-May Make Statement On Floor of Senate
 Before Adjournment.

Atlantic City, N. J., Aug. 20--Sen- ator Penrose had a long conference with not only state but national lead CTS here and gave directions for coun- teracting the attempt which he ad- mits is being made by William Film to have him impeached in the United States senate because of the recent exposure of a letter from John D. Archibald of the Standard Oil trust to Penrose which inclosed a certificate of deposit for $25,000.
 The Pennsylvania senator declined to go into details, but made this ex- ulanation of the Use of the money. T will say that from what l recall of the incident, that most of this money went to the treasurer of the Republican campaign committee, and that the greater portion of 1t was used in carrying New York state in 1904" Ready to Meet Charge.
 Penrose said he was ready to meet the impeachment charge and defied anyone to lay the case before the special senate committee, of which Senator Clapp is chairman, and said he welcomed the opportunity, as cer- tain of the Progressive leaders had sought to attack his integrity and in volve him in a deal with corporations and to show that he had been a party to corrupt practices.
 When asked why he declined to give out the details of the expenditure of the money the senator said:
 "If am to be called to the bar of the senate to answer the accusation against me. would it be right for me to expose my defense before I was charged with the act which Is hinted at? am ready to answer at any time the accusation and l defy anyone to say that 1 ever used corporation money for any purpose"
 'I do not propose to be rushed into making any attempt at specifying in what channels this money went"
 May Make Statement.
 Further than this Penrose refused to talk on the Archibald check. as he said he had not made up his mind whether to do so on the floor of the senate this week or by giving out a statement through the press.
 From Representative Olmsted it was learned that Senator Penrose was thinking to ask the senate committee to take up the question before the impeachment proceedings can be brought, but that he had been advised to consult with the president before he took any final action in the matter.
