PlTOTAWaEY AT WASHIKGTON. EASTER Activity of Judge Elkin's Friends Points to Him as a Senatorial Aspirant. MINING Indiana Man's Followers are Hustling A SLICK FORGER CASHES FALSE CHECKS Two Indiana Business Men Victims of a Man Known as "George Sweazy." USEDJ.M.jlNSON'SNAME for the McCord Bill Which Penrose is Trying to Defeat especially the Philadelphia gang, are fighting the McCord bill, which is the best evidence in the world that Penrose is afraid of it; be knows what it would mean to him. It is an eye-opening fact that the bill originated in Chester county, one of the strongholds of Judge Elkin before he was bowled out of active participation in- politics. Senator Thompson, of Chester, is outspoken for the bill, as are also Senator Delaware, and many staunch friends of Elkin.

Lieutenant Governor Murphy is giving it his support. Mr. Murphy, it will be remembered, placed the name of Justice Elkin before the convention that nominated Samuel W. Pennypack-er for Governor. Continuing its argument, the Press says: "Supreme Court Justice John P.

Elkin may entertain no thought of laying aside judicial robes for a seat in the United States Senate, but it is apparent that his friends are anxious for him to make the change, and are bending their energies with that end in view." The bill has already passed the House and is in the Elections Committee of Hon. John P. Elkin as an aspirant for the United State Senatorship to succeed Boise Penrose, is what the Philadelphia Press reads between the lines ot the McCord bill which bids fair to be enacted by the present State Legislature. HON JOHN P. ELKIN If the measure becomes a law the participants at primary elections at which legislative candidates are nominated, may express their preference for United States Senator, which substantially means instructions to the successful legislative candidates on the Senatorial question.

Penrose has never been close to the people his is not that kind of personality. He has depended rather upon boss-owned conventions, caucusus and sandbag methods to get what he wanted. If the people are given an opportunity to express their preference for United States Senator.it is "23 jBkidoo" for Boise. Penrose's friends in the Senate, Choir of Washington Church Show Their Apprecla ioa of Their Loader. The following Item is taken from the Washington, D.

Times of Monday, April The choir oT St. Andrew's Church had an Innovation at its rehearsal Saturday evening, when they surprised their leader, J.

Taylor Son and Pnilip Marrhall, harness dealer, would like to find a certain George Sweazy, or at least the man that used that name about a week ago. The man vlctim'zed both these firms of about $10 by means of forged checks. About a week ago a man about 40 years of age and nicely dressed, went into A. T. Taylor Son's s-ore and stated that he wished to buy a gas stove.

He finally selected ore, cost ing about $4. He told the person who was waiting on him, to pack up his purchase and he would return and pay for it, saying he had nothing ex cepting a S15 check. The paper wa? made out to George Sweazy by J. M. Johnston.

Sweazy, if that be hiB name, was informed that the firm could cash the check and he said, "All right," The man took his $11 change and went out, saying he would return for tne stove, but he never came back. The check waa on the National Bank and when Mr. Taylor presented it for payment he was told that J. M. Johnston did not have any money in that bank.

The matter was investigated and it was found that the check was forged. Practically the same ruBe was work ed on Philip Marshall. The stranger bought some harness and presented J. M. Johnston's check for $15 in payment.

After receiving the change, the man went away saiyng he would return for his purchase. Mr. Johnston says he never saw the man, so far as he knows. Both checks were for $15 and the number on each check was the same, Number 67. Up until this report no trace of the forger has been found.

It will be taken up for consideration by that body on Monday evening next. That it will be reported with a favorable recommendation is the prediction of Senator PhillipB, who is chairman of the committee, and by many other Senators who have made a canvass of the situation. Moreover, they say that they are certain the bill will pass the Senate and in support ot their claim declare that nearly four-fifths of the members are pledged to its suppuit. however, it wa decided to invite the ladies of the congregation to the May meeting, and then the size of its job struck the Entertainment Committee with appalling force. Boyd already looks very grave and has cast his eye over the hills and far away.

Squire Gieb was diconsolate over the prospect of wearing an apron until Dr. Carson suggested that the Committee wear white suits and thereby, in the estimation of Gieb, proved himself a real deliverer. Slonaker is disconsolate as yet, but being a man of real grit be is exDEcted1 to set himself well in hand and suggest a menu that will put Mr. Delmonico to shame. It is thought the matter will be satisfactorily adjusted and that, when the eventful night ar rives, the ladies and the men of the Brotherhood will find that no mistake was made in the appointing of the Entertainment Committee.

Miss Sadie Patch, of Pittsburg, is visiting friends in town. She was a former teacher in the public schools here. The local G. A. R.

Miss Cora Srp made a visit with father to Latrobe. her Frank Libengood, who met his death at the local tlectric plant on Tuesday night, was a son of Jacob Libengood. His brother, George, slso met a pathe-ic death. tWhile recovering from an attack of typhoidfever, George attempted to get something for himself, but was to weak that he died from exhaustion.

Both of these young men ware cut off in early life. Several good bargain in second hand stoves enn be picked ap at Appleby A tot soft EatJie Walking twits art fmr. Blairsville, April 4. These are days of surprises. It is rumored that Freeman Wilson has the railroad company held up by an injunc tion restraining the latter from going ahead with its work at the crossing of Market atreet.

Town Council is still having its troubles. When the appeal was taken against the legality of certain railroad ordinances, by the Citizens' Committee, notice was served on each member of Council to appear in court and show cause why the plea of the Citizens should not be granted; The presumption would be that esch member ot council must nave a voice in any answer that might be made. It appears, however, that no meeting of Council was called to consider the matter. Chairman Speedy Johnston and Burgess Graham went to Indiana and held a conference with the Railroad's attorney the day the answer was filed. At Tuesday night's meeting of Council the members were asked to endorse the action of Johnston and Graham and when a vote was taken all voted in favor of the endorsement except M.

G. Miller, who dissented on the ground that the matter was before the court now, and not question for such action. Two ef the new members, Martin Wilson and Harry Wilson, voted in favor of the motion. Some time ago a Brotherhood was organized in the Presbyterian church here, and everything went along swimmingly for a time, but now there is trouble in the camp.
