THE FREE PRESS STANDS
CONVICTED ON ITS OWN
SWORN STATEMENTS

For several days past our esteemed
contemporary, the Free Press. has in
dulged its penchant for abusiyeness.
and the Independent has been the OBJ
ject OF its attack. We treated the mat
ter lightly, knowing that the public Is
little concerned about our personal
differences, and in the hope that the
malic of the Free Press editor would
exhaust itself. But our Indifference
only emboldened our contemporary to
the declaration that our silence gave
consent TO his charges, and TO further
yituperation and abuse. We are now
constrained, through self defense 10
lay the facts regarding the circulation
OF the two papers before those who
are interested, IL indeed any there be,
and we defy the Free Press to contra
dict these facts. Documents on file
prove them.
Last April E. M. Steninger sworc to
a statement TO the postoffise depart
ment, before Otto T. Williams, notary
public, that the paid average daily cir
culation OF the Daily Free Press was
2S9.
Last October L. NJ. Steninger swore
to a statement TO the postorfice de
partment before Milton b. Badt, notary
public. that the paid average circula-
ton OF the Daily Free Press for the
preceding six months was 6l2.
The postoffice department had evi-
dence that Justification was made
in this statement, and Mr.. Steninger
was directed to publish another state
ment. Accordingly, In November Mr..
Steninger swore to statement before
James Dysart, notary public, that the
paid average daily circulation of the
Daily Free Press for the period last
stated above was 336, and not 612 as
he had previously sworn.
In last nights issue of the Free
Press Mr.. Steninger says:
THE circulation of the Free Press |!
larger than that of the Independent
They (meaning the indie
pendenD are printing six hundred ant
thIrty-two papers"
Here are four statements, two o
them sworn to before notaries public
The last part of the last statement /!
nearly correct. The public may CUES!
If any of the others are correct. W,
submit that IL is impossible for all o
them to be true.
We don't like TO argue with anyone
who has a disregard for truth. sworT
statements in particular. therefore We
declined TO take that bet of 800. II
would be an easy matter to frame III
n padded" circulation for the purpose
of betting, and one who falsifies under
oath might be suspected of just such
conduct.
We regret the necessity of this pub
lie conviction of the Free Press editor
but patience ceases to be a virtue on
rare occasions, and this Is one of them
In conclusion we will say that If any
, are successfully disproven by the Free
Press editor, we will Chcerfully re.
move the line at the head of the first
page which has caused his envy and
hatred, and we will offer public
apology. Otherwise 1t will remain.
Hereafter, with the public generally,
we will try to ignore that gcntleman's
hateful utterances, his sworn state

Ross says he is for a "give-and-take %"

Ross would have the question passed

Continued from Page One
thrown into the House upon a majority
vote of the entire number of members of
the Senate. Appropriation measures, as n
rule, require a two-thirds vote, but the
Hll-powerful Rules Committee Of the Senate
ruled otherwise in this instance.
The Senate Rules Committee is composed
of the following. Senator's William c.
Sproul chairman; James p. McNiChol,
Charles A. Snyder William T. Crow Will
liam G. Mcconnell This committee was
organized to tie the. hands of Governor
Brumbaugh.
The anti-Penrose forces held a prolonged
conference last night in the executive man
sion. Among those who attended were Sen
htor Edwin II, Ware, Attorney General
Brown and the Governor. None of the
participants would discuss the conference
today, 1t was generally credited In polit-
cal circles, however, that the anti-Penrose
campaign was thoroughly mapped out at
the confab.
An entirely new attack upon the in
vestigation resolution was launched today,
when the anti-Penrose forces called atten-
ton to the fact that the resolution, as
worded, provided for Hearings" only.
When the measure was first drafted, accord
ing TO Penrose leaders, the word public"
was included, but at the request of the
Penrose chieftans, the word ''public" was
eliminated, As the resolution stands at
present, the commission will have the power
to hold secret meetings whenever Il wishes
The PenrOse forces are facing a fight
on the part of the upstate followers, Lam
caster County is an example. The entire
delegation from Lancaster County voted
Tor Aaron b.. Hess, for Speaker, and be-
cause they did not vote for Baldwin they
nave been elected from the chairmanships
they occupied for years, The firing in
cluded Representatives Hbshman, as chair
man of the House committee on agriculture;
Hoffman, as chairman of the House COM
mittee on banks and building and loan as
soelatlons, and Ifhoads, as chairman of the
pubic buildings committee.
Further revelations made by the official
records of the Auditor Generals office
show that since Governor Brumbaugh took
ONCE January 1915, he has spent at least
s2S,615 of the States money for the per-
sonal needs of himself, his family his
friends and his servants. The records show
further that this approximate sum is ex-
elusive Of the annual salary of $4,000.
among the expenditures which have ap-
heared were two small charges for Mrs
Brumbaugh's department store purchases:
Tor approximately $1,000 worth of cigars
including forty-eight cent brand for cut
nowers and calling cards for tips for
guide in camping expedition, and for Mrs
brumbaugh's hotel charges and taxicab
York
Another point developed was that upon
more than one occasion the Governors sec
retary drew checks for cash, which was
turned over 10 the Governor. According to
