PENROSE MACHINE
 GOES TO PIECES

returns from yesterdays primary indicates that Theodore Roose- welt will have sixty-four of Penn sylvania's seventy-six delegates to the republican national con- vention with a possibility of sixty-five.
 Colonel Roosevelt won fifty two district delegates and his supporters captured the conven- tion which will name twelve dele gates at large The state conven- ton has the power to elect a new state chairman to succeed United States Senator Penrose and the national delegates can elect a new committeeman from Penn sylvania to succeed Senator Pen rose.
 Woodrow Wilson, according to figures at hand, will have seven ty-four out of the 76 Penn sylvania delegates in the demo- cratic convention. The other two delegates are for Champ Clark.
 Colonel Roosevelt's sweeping victory kept growing as the re- turns continued to come in.
 Incomplete returns from every district give the former president sixty five delegates in the repub- lican national convention. The Roosevelt supporters are claim ing sixty-seven and later returns may carry the figures to that number.
 Politicians look upon the trl- umph of Colonel Roosevelt with astonishment. The Roosevelt forces were without a state org anizatiun in many of the districts. It is the first time in the present generation that the regular rep ubIican machine has lost control of the state organization.
 The significance of the Roose- welt victory can be realized when it is remembered when the dele gates in control of the state con- vention have the power to elect the chairman, anG under the party rules, the delegates to the national convention elects the national committeeman.
 At present Senator holds both positions.
 It was said by a prominent member of the state committe tonight that some of the Roose- welt delegates elected to the state convention are regular org anization men, who. while voting for the Roosevelt delegates will stand by the state organization. Some of the organization leaders who refrained from personally entering the primary as candi- dates for district delegates had expected they would be selected as delegates at large.
 Among those understood to have been looked upon as the likely delegates were Senators Penrose and Oliver. Governor Tener, Secretary of the State Robert McAfee, and Leader Me Nicol of the party organization in Philadelphia.
 Theavote polled was light. In some districts it did not go much over fifty per cent of the vote at the last general election.
 One element of the strength of the Roosevelt forces was the ITO, GOO idle anthracite miners, among whom the former presi- dent ran strong.
 In Philadelphia President Taft adherents captured three of the six districts and split the delega- tion in another. giving thepresi-

HARTFORD CITY, ind, July 10
The contest for the presidency and the
next place of meeting was one of the
principal topics discussed today by del
egates attending the twenty-second an
nual convention of the Municipal Lea
que of Indiana. Gary, Washington and
Kokomo are ~contenders for the honor
of entertaining the league in 1913 with
chances favoring Gary. The contest for
president is between Mayor Shattuck
of Brazil and State Senator Hauck,
city attorney of L~aWrenceburg. The
program was changed today owing TO
the inability of Mayor Shank of Indi-
annapolis to arrive here until Thurs
day. A number of interesting papers
were read today by representatives of
different cities, including one by the
Hon. Timothy Howard of South Bend,
ex-judge of the supreme court, entitled
Should the present state improvement
law be amended?"
The meeting will end tomorrow with
the election of officers and the selec-
ton of the next convention city.

Sashes and Streamers.

Sometimes. however, the streamer will
take its rise on the hat. and this is
quite as picturesque and graceful,
though it has the Inconvenience Of
dragging the hat backward and diSar-
ranging the hair. For both purposes
soft satin is used. On the hat it starts
as the trimming of an immense cape
line of fine straw. tuscan or chip. tied
in a monstrous two looped bow at the
back. and thence n long end descends
to the ground. One woman who had
adopted this hat had fastened her rib
bon en- route to her left shoulder with
q diamond safety pin, leaving a fairly
loose curve to allow of any movements
of the head and not disturb the set Of
the haf.

There is only one possible thing that

he parts his hair in the middle"

holding a large hose that threw
great stream Of water high in The

some reason the engineer became
weak and the hose pushed him toward

the water came down, completely

and indignation were unbounded. The
first impulse was to ride up TO the
engineer and get even with him. Bat
seeing his great arms like those OF a
large blacksmith and knowing how
uneven would be the contest. he swai-

membered also that he was now a
