InlLADEi.rHIA, Nov. 2.-lEr arrest OF
II. Il. Foulkc at Sconset, Mass, has
ralisch great deal Of comment among
the ,pop.c Of Philadelphia who knew the
man. Foulkc and \ number OF his com
panionS are charged with unmcn,ionable
crimes with little boss and girls. Foukc
was formerly a wcll-kn"wn real estate
man in this city having a business which
yielded him an income estimated at from
2,JO)tp $1,000 Il year, rather Il tidy
sum nowadays. His father before him
had been one oi the largest RAJ estate
hamI'rrs in he city, doing business fer
the richest pcop.c and largest estate.

Every attempt possible is being made
to pass the Loan bill here to-day. Most
Of the papers are silent in regard to the

its passage. 1t is not g,!ng beynnd rr"

I'y the way there is considerable
curiosity to know how long ihr boxing
,anlc At Eroad and Cherry streets is 60
ng to last. The place was formerly run
..Lcr tie title Of the Quaker City
Athletic Club. A charter owned by John
II. Clark was used, :nl Clark was
nrcd to hook after the boxers.
The management owed Clark some
thing like $50 back salary and Clark
hearing that the place was to be closed
up for rent due to John Wanalnakcr who
owns the building took his charter away
and now the place is being run without
charter But it is now liable on that
score and unless somebody in authority
is fixed the place will have to be classcd
with amusement resorts and paya license
ice Of something like $500. This with
other debts owed will make the managers
hustle and to this end Saturday night
