"Gave No Interview"
Says Keene; Repeats
He Is Independent

Regarding a statement appearing in
the Telegraph last evening relating
to the independence in politics of
Robert A. Enders and DIR. c. f. l..
Keene, Mr.. Enders said to-day: That
statement was framed as a result of
a conference we held yesterday and
sets forth absolutely my position in
this fight. l am an Independent can
didate, pledged to nobody or any
thing other than the best interests
of the city, as my statement said"
DIR. G. e. L. Keenc, who was quoted
in the morning newspaper, was
equally emphatic in his denials of
having given out any interview Il
neither saw nor talked to any re-
porter he said to-day Nobody
up and the first I knew of the story
was when it appeared to-day"
1t is known, however, that some
weeks ago, in the hope of stirring up
factional strife among the three Re-
publican candidates, the newspaper
mentioned did call DR.. Keene on the
phone and asked him whether or not
he would vote for the reelection of
the present school treasurer. 1t is
also known that although DR.. Keene
asked that his views be published the
newspaper in question did not do so
because it desired to put Dr. Keene
in a bad light and did not want to
print the truth concerning him when
it knew that the truth would help
his nomination and election.
DIR. Keene erpeated most en-
phatically to-day that he is an alb
solutely Independent candidate and
has made no promises to anybody.

The Engineers Society of Pennsyl-

ern Pennsylvania Engineers Society
of Pittsburgh and other similar or
sanizations of the State will petition
Governor Martin G. Brumbaugh to
appoint an engineer to the vacancy
on the Public Service Commission
caused by the resignation of Thomas
b. Smith.
Preceding the business meeting
c. f. Drayer, secretary of the Cleve-
land Engineering Society, addressed
the members on The Engineer and
the Public" Mr.. Drayer in his lee
ture urged the Pennsylvania members
to help educate the people to the
value of the engineer to the general
public
Mr. Drayer said If the general pub
lie knew the value of an engineer they
would undoubtedly make him man
of affairs and put him in public of
fees and executive positions.
Mr. Drayer has spoken before many
Chambers of Commerce, engineering
societies and other organizations and
has written a great deal on the sub
ject. He has asked the members of
the Pennsylvania society to cooperate
with other similar organizations in
exchanging publicity ideas.
