ISSUEIN THE STATE
Addresses Employees at
Cramps - Mccormick, in
Speech, Challenges DR..
Brumbaugh to State Atti-
tude Toward Senator.

Tho declaration that Pcurose and Pen
roseism are the only issues before the
voters of PENNSYLVANIA at this time was
made today at noon to more than 500
employees of the Williams f. Cramp Ship
and Engine Building Works by Repre-
sentative \. Mitchell Palmer, Democratic
candidate for the United states Senate,
and Vance c. Mccormick, fusion guber-
Material candidate.
"A vote for Penrose," said Mr. Nc
Cormick, lis a vote to continue his record
at Washington as a pledge breaker and
a subsidy blackmailer; the record of one
who gains his ends by coercion and
graft"
The two speakers are here for the four
day city campaign OF the Democratic
campaign party. They took luncheon at
the Bellevue-stratford following the meet
ing at Cramps, and will speak at League
Island at o'clock this afternoon.
Representative Palmer's attack on Pen
rose and Penroseism was, as usual,
straight from the shoulder He quoted
Penrose as declaring, at the outset of
his campaign. that the Mexican war and
the tariff were the two Issues OF the
campaign,
Both of these are dead now" said
Mr.. Palmer. The Mexican situation has
been settled through the wise policy Of
President Wilson, and the tariff question
has been settled by the European war.
"If you will cure Pennsylvania you must
cure il at the source by removing PEN
rose" he asid you ask why you cannot
get workingmens compensation bills, and
the answer is Pcnrose The same thing
applies to child labor and shorter hours
for women

Mr.. Mccormick repeated his challenge
TO DR. Martin G.. Brumbaugh, the Repub-
liCan gubernatorial candidate, TO express
himself as TO his attitude on PenrosesrH.
He lauded Doctor Brumbaugh as a re-
spectacle gentleman, but declared that
the former Superintendent of Schools hal
been chosen by Peurose because the latter
realized the people of Pennsylvania want
ed decent representation He then ex-
pressed the opinion that Doctor Brum-
haugh. II elected. would not be able 10
dIspel the suspicion that he was allied
with Penroseism.

FEAR SAFETY OF OIL SHIPS
TAKING ON CARG0ES HERE
Vessels May Suffer Fate Of American
Steamer Taken by British.

England's seizure of the American
steamship John d. Rockefeller because
the vessel was carrying oil from this city
for Scandinavian ports, (which might
eventually find its way into the tanks Of
Zeppelins," has aroused speculation
among shipping men here of the prob
able fate of the half dozen steamships
loading or to load similar cargoes at
this port.
The Danish steamship Polstad, which
sailed for Copenhagen last week, had on
board 95,liS gallons of oil. The Belita,
Brighton and Narvik are preparing to
depart for Scandinavian ports with about
$1,000 barrels OF petroleum products. Ship
ments of oil from this port aroused the
suspicion of the British Government as
to the ultimate destination of the car
goes 1t was contended that the barrels
were easily handled in transhipment and
could be loaded on a freight car or a
Baltic steamship for German cities.
The John D. Rockefeller, when captur-
cd, was on her maiden voyage. She was
completed last month for the Standard
oil Company by the Newport News Ship
and Engine Building Company. She sail
cd from this port on September "a for
Copenhagen with 3,S25,556 gallons OF oil,
valued at Sl67, ,59965.

WILL RE0EcoRATE THEATRE.
Manager Fine to Have the Bradley
 Handsomely Renovated

Manager George M. Fine of the Brad icy theatre has placed contracts for fedecorating the interior of the house. when the work is completed about one of the finest theaters in the state. No expense is to be spared in making the house as attractive as possible.
 The sidewalks, ceilings, balcony front, proscenium arch and boxes are to be given special attention. Cork flooring is to be placed in the aisles. corridors and on the stairways. This floor covering will effectively deaden the sounds made by persons moving about the house and thus prevent one cause of distraction for audiences
 ladies' parIor is to be arranged at the back of the house on the main floor and new furniture and draperies have been purchased for it's equipment Special attention is to be given to the arrangement of the electrical lighting system.
 Mir. Fine has had the management of the Bradley theater for a little more than two years. During his residence here he has built up the business of the theater by giving high grade at fractions and the liberal patronage he has been accorded has made it possible for him to arrange to improve the theater in such way as to make it a greater source of pride for the people of the city,
