So I'LL He Could Not Fight
Pe7arose Had to Bout Face"
Only Way to Avoid Defeat and Preserve His Senate
Leadership Was to "Change Mind on Emergency
Tariff Stand

Washington, Jan. Political enc
mics and critics of Senator Penrose to-
day were busily spreading the word
that Penrose's change of front on the
emergency tariff bill marked the be-
ginning of the end for him as a domi-
nant power in Pennsylvania and ma
tional politics.
Aside from his illness, which has
robbed Penrose of his former stamina,
his foes declared nothing had SO con-
tributed to his passing as the aban-
donment 'of his fight on the tariff en-
barge bill. They were led to magnify
his action into this Importance by rea-
son of the emphasis he placed on his
opposition to this measure in state
ments here and elsewhere when 1t
first came up and again when it was
sent to the senate.
He Avoided Defeat.
His inability to "handle the situa-
ton" was borne in on Penrose, it was
declared. by the obstinate attitude OF
his Republican colleagues on the COM
mittee. who are said to have told him
plainly that they would risk division
in party ranks on the very eve of the
new administration in order to get the
bill passed. Penrose, his friends said
today. realized that his physical con-
dition would not allow him to make a
fight for his position and he backed
. down rather than be defeated

ANOTHER BAD ACCIDENT
 NARROWLY AVERTED

Passengers awaiting the arrival of the 8:20 Missouri Pacific passenger train this morning, held their breath when a man driving a wagon and team drove in front of the oncoming train at the crossing below the sta tion just as it was nearing the rail- road crossing. The man, whose name was not learned, saw the train ap- preaching, evidently, and tried to whip his team up to make it across ahead of the train, and we are glad to say that he succeeded, but different story would have been told had the engineer not thrown his brakes in time to bring the train almost to a standstill. The accident was avoided by about a foot, the slowly moving train missing the rear of the wagon by a small margin. Such foolhardy stunts as this furnishes many of the sensational stories being carried in the daily press and yet it seems that with all the horrible examples occur ing every day at railroad crossings, people continue to try their luck at flirting with death.
