PENROSE GIVES
MORRIS A JOLT
Democratic State Chairman's Wall
Is Occasion of Some Re-
marks by the Senator

Denouncing the failure of Wilson
lives and interests in Mexico and de-
claring that foreign nations have no
respect for the Bryan diplomacy, Sen
ator Boies Penrose made formal
statement yesterday to a claim by
Democratic State Chairman Roland S.
Morris, that the war situation in
Europe will help the Democratic
campaign in Pennsylvania.
Senator Penrose's statement reads
THE Democratic Party must be in
pretty bad shape when the only found
alton it can find for its domestic
policies is the dreadful war in Europe
which everybody deplores.
1t will be dinicult for any inteli-
gent man to form an opinion other
than that such utterances are sheer
nonsense.
Il have never advocated war with
Mexico, but, on the contrary, have
been most careful on every occasion
to state positively that there was no
need of war l have advocated "a
common sense policy regarding Mex
leo and have urged the protection of
American lives and property there.
Adequate protection. of tins kind has
been absolutely refused by the Will
son administration. Murder of Ameri-
can citizens and destruction of their
property have been viewed with cal
Ious and brutal indifference by Bryan
and Wilson during the policy of
watchful waiting, which is another
way CT describing incompetence and
| ignorance in regard to foreign affairs
and with methods of dealing with
them.
The conditions in Mexico are little
short of Internal, and they have been
| largely rendered possible by the
'watchful waiting policy.
For many reasons the American
people have not fully awakened to the
conditions in Mexico, and just now
the European situation naturally alb
serbs attention. When the Mexican
facts become fully known the watch
full waiting policy will be branded as
a term of reproach.
American citizens, regardless of
party, feel deeply humiliated at the
Chautauqua circle style of statecraft.
country is in the hands of apedagogue
and an employe of a Chautauqua lee
ture bureau, both incompetent TO man
age the affairs of the nation.
In the European crisis, which is
world wide in its effects, the United
States might well be expected to be
potent factor in negotiations look
ing to the adjustment and restoration
of peace, but il is we'll understood that
lno foreign nation is likely to confer
i with or take seriously officials who
have been squandering their time on
the lecture platform while Americans
were being butchered, and whose gen.
eral views of foreign matters are sub
| jects of ridicule and sarcasm.
The consequence is that the United
States, which ought to he a world
power, is a negligible factor in the
! present situation.
IF the high traditions of the State
Department have been maintained and
we had a man of the type of Olney,
| Hay or Knox to represent our coun-
try 1t might we'll be expected that the
enormous influence of the United
States would have been effectively ex-
ercised for the good of the civilized
world"

President Graham Is Here;
Says Crowd Was in Wrong
League Leader Explains the Rule and William S. Tunis
Gives His Side of the Story

Soon after the outbreak at Island
Park yesterday afternoon. George
Graham, president of the Tri-State
League arrived on the scene. The
league leader was surprised at the
action of the fans and said.
Such behavior is uncalled for base
ball, fans know what the rules are
governing rain checks. The Tri-State
does what other leagues do in case of
rain. One kbody fixes rules governing
games as far as records are concern
ed; and the league bodies fix rain
checks and other privileges. Rule
AZ of the Tri-State says:
I'm the event of a game being stop
ped for any reason before completion
of four innings, the home club shall
issue rain checks good for the next
day only. That is all there is to it.
Those who started the trouble should
be punished"

and the Rev. DIR. Station soon had the
nuptial knot tied, the ceremony taking
place in the grandstand in the pres

William S. Tunis in explaining his
position said;
THE Harrisburg club could not
hand out rain checks because Allen
town had already taken their fifty
per cent of the gate receipts. Had the
game been under the prescribed -four
innings we would have gladly issued
the checks. Manager Castle refused
to listen to any suggestion for the
issuing of these and if we had done so
the local club would have been SUBJ
Ject to fine for breaking the rules ei
the league"
Previous to the adoption of the rule
tried hard to get it changed to -four
and half innings, if the home team
was ahead; and five innings If the
visiting team lead in the number oi
runs. Every effort will be made te
have those responsible for yesterdays

DEATH REMOVES
FAMOUS BR|TON
Joseph Chamberlain Expires
After Long Illness.
STRONG FOR IMPERIALISM
His Policy az Premier Undoubtedly
Responsible for Great Britain's
War With the Beers.

London, July Alright Honorable
Joseph Chamberlain, one of the mos
commanding figures in British nation
al and international politics, is dead
He succumbed after protracted i'll
ness. The end was peaceful.
| Mr.. Chamberlain's last public ap
| pearance was at garden party on
the grounds of his Birmingham home
May last, when, with his wife and
son, he received several hundred con.
stituents. Mr.. Chamberlain was
wheeled out on the lawn in a chair
and appeared very emaciated and
feeble when he lifted his hat to
friends and neighbors in acknowl-
edgment of their salutes. .
Mr.. Chamberlain's death came as
an entire surprise, as the condition
of his health was not publicly known
to be worse than at any time in the
past two or three years.
Mrs. Chamberlain was q daughter of
w. c. Endicott, secretary of war un-
der President Cleveland
"king Of Birmingham" g.
Chamberlain was born in 1886 in
Birmingham, which he held political.
ly in the hollow Of his hand. He was
known as the king Of Birmingham"
All the seven parliamentary seats of
the great manufacturing city are held
by Chamberlain nominees and q poll
tician he opposed was simply wasting
time when he made the race.
The dead statesman started politi-
cal life as Radical, but left Glad
stones party on the issue of home
rule for Ireland, to which he was op-
posed. He held the highest posts un-
der Conservative administrations and
was secretary to the colonies from
1895 to 1902.
He went to great lengths to gain
his ends and was the most cordially
hated and loved political figure Of his
time. @' ~"
His imperialistic policy, which led
to the South African war, was the
cause of assaults upon his person.
None of them were successful.

SOCIAL MAIDS

When Joe Hurtig's Social Maids
come to the Empire theatre next
week, patrons of that popular house
will see one of the classiest produc-
tions of the current season. Mr.. Hur-
tig has been lavish, as usual, in his
expenditure to make this offering the
big success that has been it's portion,
and in production and cast alike, he
has been even more fortunate than
has been the reward of the leaders
of the burlesque field. In his two
stars, George Stone and Eta Pillard,
he presents pair of dancers and COM
edy artists who have won the most
enviable regulations along their par
ticular lines, and the public, after
having enjoyed their work, will agree
that all of the fine things said of them
by the press of other cities is fully
merited. They have the principal roles
in the charming musical burlesque,
"Busy Little Cupid" and they are
supported by a superb cast which in
cluded such popular artists as Billy
Foster, Jack Pillard, Marty Seamon,
Jessie Hiatt, the four Haley sisters
and others equally as clever. Leon
Berg and Will H. Vodery, who are re-
sponsible for the book and the special
music of the burlesque, have really
covered themselves with glory in that,
without bothering much with a plot,
they have produced a piece of work
which scintillates with all that is de-
sirable in comedy, music and catchy
song.
Mr.. Hurtig has invested his pro-
duction with scenery and costumes
worthy of the highest priced Broad
way reviews, and his chorus is about
the classiest bevy of show and dancing
girls the burlesque wheel has seen in
seasons. Taken all in all, the offer
ing should prove one of the most pop
ular of it's class here this season.
