q DEFEAT FOR
PRESIDENT WILSON

The assertion that Wilson is stronger
thar his party does not apply to the
Democratic side of the Senate, where,
% to %, the President was defeated in
bis desire to deprive Clarke, of Arkan-
sas, of the pro tempore presidency of
the Senate.
Clarke is one of the Democratic Sen
ators who refused to support the ad-
m;nistration s ship purchase bill at
the last session, and the move to de-
prive him of the honors in the Chamber
was undertaken with the approval of
the White House and the bulk Of
Clarke's assailing colleagues were Sen.
ators who get their orders by telephone
from Tumulty. After the fight was lost
a desperate effort was made to make il
appear that the White House was not
concerned in the matter. But the de-
bate in the Democratic eaueus showed
the fact to be otherwise, and the bat.
tle-ery of the anti Clarke senators was.
"a mutineer should not be made cap
tain.D
Now that Clarke has been victorious,
an endeavor has been made to demon
strate harmony in the majority ranks
in the Senate. But the attack on Clarke
was too savage to permit a speedy
salving of the wounds. The Senate, so
l. IL auo4.a Ill = aoVoornal
is divided into two factions-one that
takes whatever dose the Administers
ton may ~concoct, and the other that
preserves its independence on all topics
which have not been dealt with in the
party platform.
The situation is not unlike that
which confronted Cleveland in the last
days of his second term. Then the
White House held scant communion
with its party in Congress and every
one foresaw the doom of the Demo
cratic party. Everyone foresees the
same outcome now. Democrats at the
capitol know that if any of them come
back in the next Congress they will
do so in spite of and not because of
Wilson. So most Democrats are pre-
pairing to play their own hand, to vote
as they think their constituents want.
There is much less demand to "stand
by the President than there was SIX
months ago; and, since self-preserva-
ton is the first law of nature, Demo
cratic Senators and Representatives
are planning to follow that rule in
stead of the rule of the White House.

Underwriters Criticise
Pittsburgh Fire Force
Stecinl to Tie Teleprnhh

Pittsburgh, July 1.-THE efficiency
of the Pittsburgh fire department has
decreased in recent years. The pres
ent chief is a purely political ap-
pointee without previous fire depart
ment experience. An experienced and
competent chief should be appointed
for an indefinite term. Virtually no
drills are held, many engines are in
poor condition and some of the engi-
neers show no personal interest in
keeping them in even operative con-
dition. These are only a part of the
findings of the National Board of Fire
Underwriters in its report on Pitts
burgh issued to-day after several
months of investigation.
That pernicious political influence
permeates the whole department, and
that its effects are plainly apparent, is
charged. Fire fighting methods are
inadequate for confiagration emergen-
cies, 1t is also set forth.
The investigation upon which the
report is based were made during the
first four months of this year by T. c.
B. Shell. r. C. bennett, F. w. Smyser
and p. c. Charnock.

Harrisburg does not figure in the

down, On the other hand Harrisburg
is putting up a consistent game that
always counts at the finish.
Local hitters are hanging around
the ESQ mark. The teams batting
average is 240. The slump early in
the season gave Manager Eddie Zim-
merman's team a set back that is now
being overcome. In fielding the team

CLOSE MURPHY DEAL;
CHICAGO LANDS STAR
Was Lead-off Man in Worlds
Series Two Years Ago;
Weak in Fielding
Special 10 The Tsleerath

Chicago, ILL.,, July 17.-The deal be-
tween the Chicago White Sox and
Connie Mack for the sale of Eddie
Murphy, right fielder of the 1918
worlds champion Athletics, was closed
yesterday, and the player was turned
over to Manager Rowland, of Chicago.
The price was not made public.
The deal was pending for over three
need of good lead-off man for his
batting order all season, and when in
Philadelphia in June made Mack an
offer for Murphy. Mack's price was
SAID to be too high, and the deal fell
through. Subsequently, Rowland pur-
chased Memo Leibold, Cleveland's
lead-off man, and gave him trial. but
Memo has failed to come up to ex-
pectauons as a hitter. Hard pressed
by Boston, the powers behind the
White Sox have decided that Murphy
will be worth the steep price to them.
Murphy is a native of Hancock, II.
Y, where he was born October 2, 1891.
He played ball at Villanova College.
He was secured from the Baltimore
Eastern League team in September,
1912, by Connie Mack and imme ediately
placed in the lead-off position in the
Athletics batting order. He held this
post through 1913 and 1914. but in the
opening months of the present season
his fielding weaknesses became so
glaring that he was taken out of the
regular lineup and has been on the
bench ever since.

New "Pearce" Letter
Warns of Ship Plot
Special TO The Telegraph

Washington, D. c., July 1.-THE
Washington Times, which received the
original "R. Pearce" letter the morn
ing after the public reception room in
the Senate wing of the Capitol was
wrecked by a bomb, to-day received
and published another "Pearce' letter
warning of a new bomb plot The let
ter urges Americans to refrain from
travelling on British liners, naming the
following British ships as scheduled
for destruction:
From New York-Orduna, SaXonia,
Cameronia. Niagara Espagne.
From Philadelphia = Steamship
HUelva.
From New Orleans-Anglo-A Austria
liam, Kelvinia, Median, Nortonian, De-
fender. Nicosian.
From Montreal, Northland; from
Newport News, Graciana; from Sa-
vannah, Glensloy.
The letter contained two interlined
words bearing a close resemblance to
the handwriting of the communica-
ton warning of the bomb explosion in
the Capitol. This led to the question
whether this "Pearce" was Frank Holt,
who wrote the first letter, or whether
there is a bomb-plotting "Pearce"
still at large.

Pastor States
He Was Misrepresented in
Article on Sunday Concerts
Special TO The Telegraph

Marysville, Pa, July 17.-Sunday
band concerts in the square appear to
have created a great difference of
opinion among the people of the town
as to their propriety, but a large ma
jority seem to favor the rendition of
sacred music on Sunday evening. 1t is
said to-day that the young peoples
societies of the Reformed, Methodist
and Evangelical Churches, which meet
on Sunday evening, intended to hold
their services in the square, with the
band furnishing music, but IL the
burgess objects they will not do so to-
morrow at least. The Rev. S. L.
Flickinger, of Trinity Reformed
Church, and the Rev. A. L. Thurman.
of the Evangelical Church, were said
yesterday to be opposed to the con-
certs, but it is now stated that they
believe them to be a good thing for the
town and that their churches approve
Of them.
This morning the band officials tele-
phoned to District Attorney w. w
Rice, at New Bloomfield, in reference
to the legal side of the question and
he said he knew of no law to prevent
giving of sacred concerts on Sunday.
Burgess Lentz insists that he will
put stop to the concert tomorrow
evening.
The Rev. c. A. Parson, pastor of the
Church of God, states that he had not
been consulted when the first article
was published and the statements
therein did not represent his<views of
the matter of Sunday evening band
concerts Neither he nor his church
council has taken any steps to inter-
fere with the Sunday evening band
concerts and will not do so.

HUMIDITY FACTOR
IN DOUBLE-HEADER
Players Beg Off Second Game /;
Indians Break Even With
Maple Leaves

General humidity putted in on two
gruelling baseball controversies at Is
land Park yesterday. The sun was
settling behind the western hill when
the last man went out on the Harris
burg side. One Toronto man, Center
fielder Gilbert, toppled over and was
sent to his hotel under the care of a
physician.
Harrisburg had a twelfth inning rail-
ly in the first battle, winning by a
score of S to Z. The second went to
Toronto, score 3 to 2. 1t was a ques-
ton whether the second game would
be played. The players were almost
"all in at the close of the first con-
test.
Players on both teams begged off,
and a number left the field with the
umpires soon after the winning run
was scored by Harrisburg. Manager
Eddie Zimm merman called them back.
An argument followed and President
Edward G.. Barrow of the Internation-
al League, who was at the game, was
called in as the arbitrator. He set
tied the arguments by ordering a
,seven-inning game.
Sticks Were Busy
In the first game the Indians and
Maple Leaves kept their sticks busy.
Each team used two pitchers. Luque
and Cockrehan were on the firing line
for Toronto, and Lee and Schacht for
Harrisburg. Toronto was in the lead
in. the sixth. Harrisburg scored two
runs in the seventh The Indians had
a bunch of bingles in their half, and
went two ahead of the Maple Leaves.
Toronto came back in the ninth with
three, going one better on Harris
burg. The locals evened up in their
half, and the real fight was on. In the
twelfth with one man down, Witter
drove the ball to center for two bases

Walter Manning, the former Tri-
State HEAVIER who was always a lucky
man in Harrisburg, kept the Indians
guessing up to the seventh. Goodbred

port. Harrisburg rallied in the
seventh but the Maple Leaves cut
them down before any great damage
resulted from a series of bingles. The
