last Saturday night, but this was
abandoned when the company an

PENROSE
FUNERAL
Is SIMPLE
Arrangements Are Not
Complete But Wishes
of Senator for Sim
plicity Respected

Philadelphia, Jan. Arrange
ments for the funeral of Senator
Penrose were still incomplete to-
day. 1t was decided, however, that
it should be strictly private, in ac-
cordance with his oft-expressed
wish.
In making this announcement,
Leighton G. Taylor, for many
YEARS the senator's private secre-
tary, said that only members Of
the family and friends would at
tend the services and that con-
delegation probably
would not come here for the bur-
ial. The date for burial would be
fixed, Mr.. Taylor said, after hear
ing from relatives in the west.
Meanwhile ths cody of the for
mer senator, encased in a metallic
coffin covered with purple cloth
lay in his bachelor home here. No
crepe or flowers marked the pres
ence of death in the old-fashioned
brick house where from a sick-bed
he had conferred by telephone
with national republican leaders
at the Chicago convention which
nominated President Harding. Ev-
cry wish of the senator for sim
plicity has been respected.
Expressions of regret at his
death continued to pour in today
from all sections of the country.
None Of them was made public by
his relatives.
Governor Sproul said he had not
decided on Senator Penrose's sue
cessor. Under the law, the gov
ernor is empowered to make an
to fill the vacancy
until the next general election,
which will be held in November.

Today these rumors were de-
MED. Judge Race insisted that
ne would not have found such ac-
ton necessary, and Chief of Po-
lice Moffitt declared that the
whole matter was of little import
ance.
Saturday evening it became
known that Grover Powers, who

SUIT OF liquor charge, was miss

on the desk that r'owers was not

Where is he?" Judge Race ask
ed.
The officer did not know, he
said.
Subsequently Jucge Race sum
monded Chief of Police Moffitt
and inquired &s to the where
abouts of the prisoner. The chief
explained that Powers had been
permitted to leave the Jail in order
TO transact some business.
Il want him back here imme-
diately," Judge Race ordered.
Powers was located and return
ed forthwith.
Chief Defends Action.
There was norning irregular in
my action" Chief u1offitt said In a
statement this morning. "On sew
eral occasions 1 have allowed men
their freedom temporarily when
they wished to settle up their per-
sonal affairs. Powers wished to
take care of some business and ii
permitted him to do so. The
whole affair amounts to nothing"
Powers was arrested last Thurs
day night by Chief of Police Moi
fit and Patrolmen Victor and
Branson after his home, at 500
North Capitol street, had been
searched for liquor. Officers said
they found about one quart of
moonshine. Saturday powers
pleaded guilty to charge of hay
ing liquor in his possession.
1t is known that several at
tempts were made to have Powers

SibShOd Work
OF Legislators
LenUeS MuddZe

Slipshcd methods of law max
ing, "railroading' of legislation
in the closing hours of the ses-
sion and the general eleventh
hour confusion aggravated at the
special session of last week by a
desire on the part of the law
makers to get home in time for
Christmas, are responsible for the
dilemma" in which Governor Oh
colt finds himself at this time in
his consideration of House bill
No. 31--the special election meas
ure.
House bill 81 as amended in
the floor of the house, as trans
mitted to the senate for considera-
tion and as read by the reading
clerk of that body when the bill
was up for final consideration con
ldlAS LHlS ClduSe.
Amendment Left Out
Provided this act shall not be-
come effective if House Joint
Resolution No. 8 and House Bill
No. 22 are declared invalid by any
court proceeding hereafter had. :"
This clause, inserted into the
bill through amendment on the
floor of the house by unanimous
consent, was designed to automa-
tically halt the special election
set for May 19 in the event the
exposition measures were found to
be invalid.
1t was on the strength of this
saving clause that Senator Eber-
had, a member of the 'solid four
teen" in opposing exposition legis
lation at the special session,
swung away from the "agricul-
tural bloc" in the last hour of
the session long enough to vote
for the special election measure,
thus passing the bill without the
necessity of carrying the question
over the head of the president OF
the senate as was the case with
the two exposition measure.
But the enrolled bill as pre-
sented to Governor Olcott and
whose disposition the executive
is now pondering, does not COM
tain this saving clause. The
clause, scrawled into the original
bill with pen and ink was some
how or other omitted from the
enrolled bill and it is this omis-
sion, evidently on the part of the
enrolled bills committee of the
house, which is creating addition
al gray hairs in the head Of the
states executive.
Governor in Dilemma.
Had the saving clause been in
cluded in the enrolled bill the
governor could have signed the
bill, knowing that if the two
in whose interest the
election is being called, were
found to be invalid, the election
machinery would be automatically
halted by the provision Of the bill
itself.
But it is not there and the gov
ernor declares that he has not oc-
casion or excuse for going back
of the document as presented to
him in order to determine the in
tent of the lawmakers.

INCREASE
in COUNTY
Records of Sheriff's
Office Show Arrests
In 1921 Exceed All
Other Years

Figures today gathered from
the Marion county jail records
showed conclusively that 1921
carried with it the biggest crime
wave in the county's history.
An even 200 persons were lodg-
ed in the county jail during the
12 months period which ended at
midnight Saturday. During 1920
only 121 were incarcerated.
During 1921 there was paid
into the county, Sheriff Bowers
records indicate, approximately
$2664 in fines. With the excep-
tion of about $55 these fines were
the ~result of arrests on liquor
charges. About $1604 was paid in
since November /.
1915 Record Nearest
AS an indication of the in
crease in crime, statistics concern
ing arrests by officers for 1921
as compared with earlier years,
proved most eloquent. The 121
placed in Jail in 1920 was a con-
siderably larger figure than
1919's when but SO were placed
behind the bars. In 1918 there
were 92 Jailed, in 1917 there
were 108 and in 1916 there were
1923. Back in the year 1915 the
county came the closest to approx
imating this years record when
172 persons found themselves in
the county Jail during the year.
Larceny Most Popular
According to bookings on the
county Jail register, larceny prov
ed the most popular crime in
Marion during 1921. Twenty per-
sons were Jailed on this charge.
Possession Of Intoxicating liquor
caused the arrest of 10 individ-
uals, rape caused the arrest OF
eight, selling liquor was charged
to eight, grand larceny was laid
to five, seven were accused of OBJ
tanning money by false pretenses.
