GOVERNOR ASKS
RESIGNATION OF
A. NEVIN POMEROY
Neither Brumbaugh Nor Su-
perintendenteof Printing Will
Discuss the Matter
OTHER CHANGES RUMORED
'Chambersburg Publisher Says
He May Have Statement to
Make Tomorrow

Governor Martin G. Brumbaugh to-
day asked Superintendent of PUBLIC
Printing and Binding A. Nevin Pome-
roy to resign. Mr.. Pomeroy said he
would consider the matter and will
make a statement tomorrow.
The Governors action in asking the
retirement of the Chambersburg pub
Usher is the first move in the way of
a drastic campaign to secure the Sc
lection of Representative Edwin r.
Cox, of Philadelphia, as the Republi-
can candidate for speaker. For days
there have been rumors that the Gov
ernor contemplated either asking
some of the officials for their resigna-
tions or making removals as object
lessons to those lukewarm in support of
classed as "disloyal" by the State ad-
ministration men who are active in
promoting CoX's boom. The Governor
has been urged to this course by q
number of his advisers, including At
torney General Brown, who has de-
sired a campaign to a finish and has
had the problem under consideration
for days. The names of half dozen
officials have been mentioned as likely
TO go, but the Governor always refused
TO talk.
Neither Will Talk
During the morning he sent for Mr..
Pomeroy and saw him shortly before
l o'clock in the executive offices. The
Governor was asked as he was leav-
ing the Capitol to take a train for
Washington to attend the White
House dinner, whether he had asked
Mr.. Pomeroy to resign.
Il have nothing to say, replied the
Governor.
Mr.. Pomeroy, when asked If the re-
port that he had been asked to resign
was true, replied: II have been asked
by the Governor to resign; but / have
nothing to say now"
What are you going to do?'
Il am going TO consult my friends
| will have nothing to say to-day.
by that time have determined upon
my course"
What reason did the Governor give
for asking your resignation
Now, that is for the Governor tc
say. See him"
But he won't talk"
Neither will I now"
No Fault With Efficiency
1t is intimated about the Capitol
that the Governor found no fault with
the efficiency of Pomeroy's department
or with the way he had performed
his duties, which have been enor-
mously increased through the print
ing requirements under the acts ot
last year. but that he put it on the
ground of political disloyalty."
For months it has been rumored
that Pomeroy would be asked to resign
because administration men have con.
tended that he was not for the Brum
baugh delegates in the Seventeenth
Congressional district, but for the men

 "No," Mrs. Johnston confidently re- piled. q have great faith in Birming- hams appreciation of the best in every thing, and I believe there are people enough here to make the attendance of all performances during that week capacity attendances. The fact that we, with our Minneapolis orchestra, are bringing the best of it's kind, and the largest ever pre- sented here, that it is backed up by local people, women and men who by long service, public spirit and financial SUD- port of these men who have always been guafantors for music, makes me abso- lutely confident that the old Biiou thea tre has never seen such audiences as we will have for the two performances of the Minneapolis orchestra.

 The place cards were novelties in the form of little water color pictures, de- scribed by clever verses by which the Gcests found their places.
 Miss Kilby wore a dinner gown of pink taffeta trimmed in silver lace with a corsage bouquet of orchids
 Miss Phinizy wore blue tulle over blue sat tin, and her corsage bouquet was of pink roses and valley lilies

that was being manifested in the appear ance here of this big organization, she said:
 With as capable musician S Mrs. Rice to work with, it has been a great pleasure l assure you, for she is musician to her very finger tips and she is tremendously interested in interesting everybody else. If she is not actually teaching music she is by delightful conversation and her per- sonality teaching appreciation of the finer things of life. So she started out by putting the matter of bringing the or chestra study into the public schools. She found very ready response in the hearts of Miss Leta Kitts and Miss Jen- nie E. Handley. Miss Kits, you know, has already built up one of the most splendid systems of music in the Bir- mingham schools to be found in the country. Of course, every child who has become interested in the orchestra is interesting his parents in this visit of the orchestra.
 Then the business mems organizations have every one been approached and they promised their cooperation and sup port, for be it said, and they understand, that there is absolutely no influence upon city which has a more splendid cul- tural, moral or educational value than a fine symphony orchestra. The progress SiVS CltleS or the country now, 1T they have no orchestra of their own, make frequent engagements with the big sym- phonies of other cities who can support them all the year around
 Has it been a hard task to interest the Birmfgnham people?' I asked
 NO, indeed we have met with the most cordial response from every one. Both the women's music clubs seem to feel 1t personal responsibility. The Arion club, which, as you know, is a men S organization, offered to do anything to make it success.
