ANTI-LIQUOR VOTE
MENACE TO PENROSE
IN CHESTER COUNTY
Growing in Strength and Op-
ponents of the Senator
Equally Jealous in Sup
port of DR.. Brumbaugh.

WEST CHESTER, Pa, Sept H.-Sena-
tor Penrose in his present campaign in
Chester County finds that he has the
anti-license element to deal with Mr..
Cole, the head of the Anti-License Orga-
nizatlon In this country, has made q
careful summing up of the temperance
vote and he figures that the vote will
be fourfold larger than IL has ever been
in the past. He says the temperance tide
has been rising since June T. l.. Eyre
and County Treasurer Fred Mcdonald, as
delegates to the meeting of the state
Republican Committee, voted for the local
option resolution.
Mr. Macdonald, chairman of the
County Republican Committee. Is ex-
pected to WELD his power, along with
that of Mr.. Eyre, in the effort to con-
vince the voters that their vote on local
option was the right thing under stress
of present conditions and that 1t really
meant nothing save to gull the people.
Chester County will undoubtedly give
majority for Doctor Brumbaugh for
Governor. On this point all parties and
factions seem to agree. To all intents
and purposes the sentiment against Mr..
Penrose is nearly as pronounced.
The Penrose people are carrying on what
oldtime Republican courage appears to
have ooZed out and this condition of af-
fairs serves further to accentuate the
statement that things are different
now; that the machine which for many
years boldly carried aloft the Penrose
banner is now compelled to work for
his return to the United States Senate In
a rather surreptitious manner. The
average voter here has grown wiser
than he was q few years ago. and in
proportion to his taking on wisdom he
has become endued with a hardihood
which comes with casting off the collar
of bossism and standing forth free
man.
1t is said upon good authority that
Mr.. Penrose is being kept advised of the
changed condition. There Is no an
nouncement as yet that the Senator is
to visit Chester County during this con-
test To those who are not informed on
the conditions, this seems very strange,
but to those who know what's doing. the
reason for his staying out of the county
Is obvious.
DR.. Brumbaugh is to come here some
time during the campaign and his visit
will serve to bring out the strength of
the Republican forces as we'll as many
others who are quietly resolving to give
him the support.

CONDUCTOR BADLY HURT;
WlFE'S LIFE IN BALANCE
News of Accident on B. & o. Railroad
Kept From Invalid Woman.

NASPI - tOhl 1hNdlu w
The life of Philadelphia woman
hangs In the balance today as the re-
suit of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road wreck Saturday night east of
Woodlyn, Pa, where southbound ex-
press train was derailed and three
sleeping cars were rolled down an en-
bankment. She is the wife of r. A.
Humrichouse, of 1909 North 26th street
the Pullman conductor who was hurt in
the accident.
Humrlchouse Is badly injured and
may be crippled for life. The wreck
Saturday night was the third he has
been in since he went to work for the
Baltimore and Ohio two years ago.
About a year ago his spine was injured
in wreck in Illinois and he was laid
up six weeks. The old injury has now
returned and today he Is in bed at his
home wondering If he will ever regain
the use of his limbs.
Mrs. Humrlchouse has been under
treatment for nervous prostration for
seven weeks. She does not know that
her husband has been injured and her
physician has given strict orders that
the news be kept from her. Any shock
at this time. he says, might prove
fatal. Accordingly every effort is being
made to keep her unaware of the fact
that her husband is lying on the verge
of paralysis In an adjoining room Of
their home.
Humrichouse was brought home yes
terday morning by DR.. E. j. Morris, of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. The
physician found him lying unconscious
alongside one of the overturned coaches
after all the injured had been taken out
and cared for. When the crash came,
according to the story the conductor told
Mrs A. Mundy, his mother-in-law. who
Is attending him and his wife, he had
just left the sleeping car and was in the
parlor chr.
The shock hurled Humrihouse the full
length of the car and against door. In
spite of injuries to his side and arm and
the dull pain in his spine from the old
hurt he crawed through the window
and went to work helping the injured
out of the overturned coaches. Pres
emily a train arrived to take away the
passengers. Humrichouse calmly made
out the transfer tickets to this train.
When his duty was completed he col
lapsed.
Rapid progress is being made in re-
moving the wreckage from the Baltimore
and Ohio tracks, and derricks now are
in position to lift the three remaining
derailed coaches. The trains of the road
are still using the Pennsylvania tracks.
Mrs. Julia f.. Winner, 60 years old. of
Roanoke, Va. patient at the Grocer
Hospital in Chester. is the only one of the
injured treated there Whose condition Is
serious.
