Was Boss of the 'Old Guard"

Senator Boies Penrose of Pennsyl- vania was the big chief of the "Old Guard" His machine in Pennsylvan- ia long has been regarded as second only to Tamany of New York. In the Senate nearly a quarter of a century, Penrose became known as perhaps the craftiest politician of the generation.
 Mention of the name of Boies Pen rose calls to the mind of the average person the terms, political boss,' conservative" Thigh tariff and "great avoirdupois."
 Successor to Matt" Quay as Re- publican boss of Pennsylvania, Pen- rose was dominant figure in state and national politics for the last third of century.
 The Pennsylvania senator began his political life as a reformer and closed it as an unregenerated boss. To the minds of Americans today he repre- sents the old school of politics-the king pin of great machine which di- rected the national destinies of his party.
 Succeeding to the ''throne" of Matt Quay, long a dictator in the Republican party of the state, Sena- tor Penrose rose rapidly in the coun- cils of the organization, until, in 1912, he became the recognized national boss. His name has been connected with some of the bright pages of political history, but he became fam ous, or rather notorious, thru the scandals in which he figured.
 The Agent of Big Business"
 From the beginning of his career away back in 1884, when he was sent to the legislature by Quay to repre- sent the eighth ward of Philadelphia, the bulky Penrose made no pretense at being other than special privilege politician. At Harrisburg and later at Washington, until his death, he was the accepted spokesman and agent of "big business," especially the Standard Oil Company and the Pennsylvania railroad.
 Penrose was a burly figure. He was six feet three inches tall and weighed almost three hundred pounds. His head was small, slightly out of proportion to his body, and his complexion red. He was considered anything but handsome, but had a commanding personality, despite his bluntness of speech, and a we'll earned reputation of being the "si- lent man of mystery"

FREED FROM ARSON CHARGE
Mrs. Emma Koble Charged With Us
 ing Fire to Dust Tenant.

Mrs. Emma Koble, who was charged with the crime or arson, was freed following a hearing in Justice 5. H. Smiths court Tuesday. Mrs. Koble. who owns farm southeast of lena, is said to have set fire to the house on the place and caused it to burn to the ground. The house was occupied by tenant who, it is claimed, refused to vacate at the owners request, and it was believed Mrs. Noble used fire to oust him. The case was originally brought before Justice Clement some weeks ago, but never came to trial be- cause of Mrs. Koble's poor health. When called Tuesday a change of venue was secured to Justice Smith, who dismissed the charge on the grounds of insufficient evidence.

SENATOR PENROSE DIED WITH YEAR
Big Chief of ''Old Guard" of Repub- Hear Party Believed in Might Is Right" and He Held Power
 to the End.

Washington, January 1.-Senator Boies Penrose of Pennsylvania, died here late last night after brief ill- ness.
 Senator Penrose, who was 61 years old, had been complaining for some days, but it was stated repeatedly by his friends that he would be able to resume his duties in the Senate next week. His recent work as chairman of the finance committee in handling tax and tariff legislation was great CT physical hardship, his friends said, than he himself realized.
 End Came at 11:3O O'Clock.
 Reports from Senator Penrose's apartment at Wardrum Park hotel earlier tonight indicated that his con- dition was not so good and physician were constantly with him. The first notice of his death, which occurred at 11:30 o'clock, was telephoned by a physician from his apartment to the hotel desk.
 Senator Penrose died of pulmonary throbosis, as a result of heart trouble, Dr. Roy D. Adams, his physician, an- nounced tonight. Dr. Adams and two nurses were the only persons in the room when the end came.
 Until a few minutes before death, Senator Penrose, his physician said, was quite comfortable, altho he soon relapsed into inconsistencies and 1t was realized that his condition was desperate.
 Began With Bad Cold.
 Senator Penrose's illness, after his recuperation from a long seige which kept him away from the Senate for months, started early in the week with bad cold. There was a change for the better on Wednesday, but he sui fered slight relapse Thursday. Des- pite that, however, he was able to be up and around his apartment.
 Pennsylvania has lost two of tho most powerful senators that ever rep resented it in the last three months Senator Philander C. Knox died Oct ober 12, 1921.
 Friends of Senator Penrose said to night that the sudden death of his col league had been such a shock to hin that it had affected him several day: while he was doing his best to shake off a deep cold. Like Senator Knox he died suddenly, for Dr. Adams ex plained that while he knew the sen ator was quite ill he did not antlci 1 pate death.

COMMISSION GUSTS
 WARDEN DEMPSEY
Removes Head of Penitentiary Walls" but Assigns No Reason Decided Upon Before Escape
 of Tom Slaughter.
From the Arkansas Gazette.

From the Arkansas Gazette.
 Little Rock, Jan. Edward H. Dempsey, warden at the penitentiary walls, yesterday was notified by the penitentiary commission that his services no longer are desired by the commission. No reason was given by the commission in it's curt letter of dismissal as to why Mir. Dempsey will not be retained.
 The commission met yesterday at the walls, but no member said any thing to Mir. Dempsey to indicate that he would be dismissed. His first intimation of the act of the commis- sion came in a letter last night signed by George w. Morris, secretary, as follows:
 "This will notify you that your services will be discontinued after January 1, 1922. Please turn over to Hamp Martin all the property, real and personal, and he will receipt you for the same"
 Hamp Martin is assistant warden at the Cummins farm.
 Doesn't Suit Board.
 Asked last night at his home in England why MT. Dempsey will not be retained, Mir. Morris said: "Well, he didn't suit the board" No other reason was given, but it is known that such action was contemplated be- fore Tom Slaughter made his sensa- tional escape, so Slaughter's escape had nothing to do with the matter.
 George W. Morris, secretary of the commission, spent the night at the walls Friday night, but gave no ink ling to MT. Dempsey or his family of the action taken by the commits sion.
