Rising to question of personal

cedence over any other subject that
may come up in the National House of
Representatives, William 5. Ware, of
the First Pennsylvania District, served
notice on Senator Boies Penrose that
he must clear his skirts of the charge
of bribery, made in recent issues of the
North American. Mr.. Ware said:
''T The North American, daily

'' That |, William S. Ware, had con-
veyed large sums of money to John E.
Reyburn, the then Mayor of the city
of Philadelphia, and actually had per
sonally paid $4,000 into said John E.
Reyburn' S hands.
"'If Senator Penrose or any other
person made such a statement to the
editors of the newspaper or elsewhere
it was an absolute lie, without the
slightest foundation in fact or in truth.
and was made to injure my candidacy
for Mayor of Philadelphia at that time,

If Senator Penrose did not give
this false information to the North
American it is up to him, as a candi.
date for the United States Senate, to SO
deny it that the public will be satisfied
of its falsity.'
''After adjournment Mr.. Ware was
asked if he would insist upon Mr.. Pen
rose taking aggressive action against
the editors of the North American. if
he thought they should be brought into
court. He refused to amplify what he
had said on the floor. 'Just say that |
have nothing to add to my statement in
the House. he answered.
SIN spite of the Congressman 5
reticence, however, his manner of
speech left little doubt that he is at
the parting of the ways with Penrose
unless the Senator takes decided
stand not only for his own vindication.

that he has kept in touch with the Du-
bois campaign through newspapers of
that city but has seen no item concern

and other Slough representatives here
are inclined to doubt that DR.. Slough
ever made such accusations.
When asked whether ne believes Dr.
Slough viii dwell very strongly on poll
ties during his campaign in this city,
which opens just before election. Mr.
Shannon said that it is most likely the
evangelist will attack politicians from
