April 11 The improvements the American women need most are in the complexion the lungs the feet and ankles said Dr Ludwig Von Ferro late of the University of Copenhagen and recently appointed head of the depart mept of physiology of the University of Paris who is visiting here on his way around the world For the complexion the face should be slapped real good hard slaps Women will not slap

rxir and president of the Consolidated Araerl i mm A Philadelphia April 14 Col Theodore Roosevelts sweeping victory in Pennsylvania at Saturdays primary election kept growing today as the returns continued to come in Incomplete returns from every district give the former President 65 of the States 7G delegates in the Republican national convention The Roosevelt supporters are claiming 67 and later returns may carry the figures to that total Col Roosevelt won 53 of the 64 district national delegates and his followers elected enough delegates to the State convention to give them control of that body The State convention will name 12 delegates at large Gov Vvoodrow Wilson of New Jersey who had no organized opposition will have 71 of the 76 delegates from Pennsylvania in the Democratic national convention In the Twenty eighth congressional district the two Democratic national delegates elected are favorable to Champ Clark Politicians Are Astonished Politicians look upon the triumph of Col Roosevelt with astonishment The supporters of the former President were without a State organization or without an organization in many of the C2 congressional districts The regular Republican organization headed by United States Senator Boise Penrose which has withstood the fury of many a political storm received a crushing defeat in the loss of control of tbe State convention It is the first time in the present generation that it has Jost control of that body In addition to naming the 12 delegates at large to Chicago the convention will select S8 presidential electors 4 candidates for congressmen at large and carjr dldates for State treasurer and auditor general all to be Voted for at the November election The significance of the Roosevelt victory caft be realized when it is remembered that the delegates in control of the State convention have the power to select the State chairman and under the party rules the delegation to the national convention elects the national committeeman At present Senator Penrose holds this position It was said by a prominent member of the State committee tonight that some of the Roosevelt delegates elected to Jhe State convention are regular organization men who while voting for Roosevelt delegates will still stand by the State organization Leaders Not on Tickets Some of the leaders of the Republican organization refrained from personally entering the primary as candidates for district national delegates as it had been expected they would be selected as delegates at large Among those understood to have been locked upon as the likely delegates were Senators Penrose and Oliver Gov Tener Secretary of State Robert McAfee and State Senator James McNichol the leader of the party organization in Philedalphia The vote polled was light In some districts it did not go much over 50 per cent of the total vote cast at the last general election Coi Roosevelt is said to have received his heaviest vote from the reform element of the State represented by the Keystone party which since it was organized two years ago has opposed the regular Republicans at every election and succeeded in electing a reform mayor in Philadelphia last year Another element of the strength of the Roosevelt forces was the 170000 idle anthracite miners in the northeastern counties of the State where ihe former President ran strong In Philadelphia President Tafts adherents captured three of the six districts and split the delegation in another giving the President seven delegates to Roosevelts five The delegates favoring Taft were not instructed Among those who escaped the Roosevelt storm Were John Wanamaker and Stotes bury who were elected as Taft delegates in the Second district Edgar Fahs Smith provost of the University of Pennsylvania a Taft delegate went down to defeat but William Draper Lewis dean of the law department of the university was a Roosevelt winner Clean Sweep in Allegheny In Allegheny county which includes Pittsburgh Col Roosevelt captured all the eight delegates in the four districts Among them is William Flinn who has fought the regular State organization for years In the congressional district where Glf ford Pinchot has his homer the Roosevelt national delegates won but Mr Plnchots home county Pike sent a Taft delegate to the State convention Gov Wilson had an easy time of it in winning 74 of the 76 delegates to the Baltimore convention At present there are two Democratic State organizations in Pennsylvania and each has indorsed the New Jersey governor for President Figures at Rand indicate that the re organizea Democratic faction headed 1 by George Guthrie of Pittsburgh and Congressman A Mitchell Palmer had elected a majority of their delegates in opposition to the regular Organization headed by James Guffey of Pittsburgh Each faction here sent out a call for a State contention at Hanisbhrg oni the same day Negotiations have been under way for some time for a

office four years and will have a voice in the selection of a United States senator in 1915 when Mr Penroses term expires The Democratic members of Congress who came up for renomination were generally successful but there were a number of surprises In the ranks of the Republicans One of these Was the defeat of Reuben Moon In one of the Philadelphia districts by an independent Republican EVENSOFARJRSAYS Figures That He and Taft Each Has 150 Instructed Votes HIT THEM MIDDLING HARD So the Colonel Comments on the Result in Pennsylvania Over Whieh He Is Elated Will TJot tfay That His Nomination Is Now Probable Speaks in the West This Week Oyster Bay April 14 We hit them middling hard said Col Roosevelt today of his victory in the Pennsylvania primaries The colonel was greatly elated and exhibited a heap of telegrams sent him giving details pf the result and extending congratulations Col Roosevelt was asked whether in his opinion his nomination was now probable I would not say that he responded The result in Pennsylvania he said pleased him particularly because he considered it an expression of popular opposition to the bosses They have heard a good deal from me on the stump he added and theyll hear more About Even as to Delegates Col Roosevelt said some of his opponents were misrepresenting the number of delegates elected for President Taft and himself He said he had been considering preparing a formal statement in regard to this matter At the present time he continued I think that the delegates really Instructed are about evenly divided I think it is about 150 each The coldnel gave Mississippi as an example of what he had in his mind He said he believed that the entire Mississippi delegation was for him and yet his opponents claimed it all for the President The contest in that case he added is on the Taft side He assei ted that he had 22 delegates from Missouri although some of his opponent conceded him none In New York he continued he already had 10 delegates with 10 others ready to vote for him and he expressed the belief that at the national convention he would have 20 more New York votes provided it was apparent to these 20 delegates that he could have half of the delegates to the convention Going West to Speak At i oclock tomorrow afternoon he will start on what probably will be one of the most extensive trips of the campaign He will go to Chicago over the Pennsylvania road instead of the New York Central as originally planned AcV cording to the program he will spend Wednesday and Thursday In Nebraska and Friday and Saturday In Kansas Bef Qns Renter such an order yond that no definite arrangements have been made The colonel said he expected to speak in Sioux Falls bale and in Little Rock Ark On the way back lie said he

Has Only Half of Pennsylvania Delegates Special to The Washington Post New York April It A Philadelphia dispatch to the New York American says The outcome of the Democratic primaries Is a surprise to the friends of Grov Wilson They hadexpected a clean sweep as there was no apparent organized opposition Only a few districts Instructed their delegates Of the 64 elected Gov Wilson appears to be reasonably certain of 28 to 32 The others favor Clark or Harmon The State convention will be controlled by anti Wilson people and the twelve delegates at large will oppose the Jersey governor Under the law of Pennsylvania Wilson will surely have some votes in the dele gatlonasthe unit rule cannot be applied each district being entitled to a free voice in the convention That Gov Wilson will have only a minority vote in the delegation Is conceded by his friends POLICE FACE MILITIA Trouble Is Threatened When Chicago Democrats Meet SULLIVAN MEN GAIN POINT Obtain an Injunction Restraining

with the police arrangements Subterfuge the Mayor Saya The mayor declared that the presence of the guardsmen at the armory to protect State property was but a subterfuge Col Morlarty answered the

this morning The corridors of every prominent hotel in the city were filled last evening with beautifully gowned women eagerly discussing the party politics and patriotic movements which will form the interests of the congress All day long delegates arrived from every part of the country The most startling preoonvention development was the repeated statements of prominent adherents of Mrs William Cumming Story leader of the conservative wing that they are in favor of harmony together with the answers of supporters of Mrs Matthew Scott president general and progressive leader that every effort will be made to prevent any Story adherent being elected to office We want harmony but If the other side wants a flgbt we will give it to them was the statement of a recognized leader for Mrs Story
