BOSSES ARRAIGNED.
Wanamnker's Vigorous Address in
PhiIadelphia.

Philadelphia, Oct 15.-No more convinc-
ing evidence of the intense interest
aroused among the people IN the present
campaign for governor of Pennsylvania
could be presented than was manifest
ed by the great crowd that filled the
Academy of Music from pit to dome last
evening to hear John Wanamaker ex-
plain the issues Of the hour and renew
his fierce assaults against the Quay ma
chine
To the charges made against him by
Senator Penrose he made reply and
complete denial He declared he would
welcome the return of Gideon W. Marsh.
the absconding president of the Keystone
Bank, and that he would do all in his
power to assist the United States sena-
tors In their efforts to bring him back.
New evidence of the rottenness OF the
State finances was presented in the an
nouncement that unpaid notes of ex-State
Treasurer Haywood and ex-Auditor Gem
eral Mylin for nearly $4,000, alleged to
have been used in stock speculations,
were among the papers found by the re-
ceiver of tie Peoples Bank. and that
suits ha2 been instituted for restitution.
These disclosures were sharply referred
to by the speaker.
1t was undoubtedly the most compre-
hensiye. the most fearless, the most forci-
BILE of the many addresses Mr.. Wanna
maker has delivered against political
methods in this State. and the audience.
composed as 1t was of representative men
and women of this and nearby cities. was
calculated to inspire the speaker to an ex-
traordinary degree. The most careful at
tention was accorded and enthusiastic ap-
probation was given.
When he mentioned George A. jerks.
the Democratic candidate for governor.
cheers burst spontaneously from the Us
teners but for the Republican candidate.
w. A. Stone. only few scattering hand
clappings were heard.
The number of independent Republican
voters Mr.. Wanamaker estimated at iOo.-
900, and he declared although he was
not a candidate for governor. that II he
were, he certainly should not be content
with Stones chances of election.

Murray has been elected a director in the
Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern Rail-
road. to fill a vacancy. The entrance of
Mr. Murray into the directory of this
road, which is controlled by the Balti-

of the traffic department of the Balti-
more and Ohio as first vice president
when the reorganization is completed.
it is likely that he VIII also direct the
operation of the Baltimore and Ohio

For some time 1t has been predicted
that Mr.. E. R. Bacon would resign as
president of the Southwestern, owing to
the demands on his time of other inter-
ests, but would continue as the financial
head of the property as chairman of the
board of directors In this event his sue
cessor would be Mr.. Murray. Mr.. Bacon
sailed for Europe today from New York
on matters relating to the proposed read
justment of the finances of the South

for a reduction of the fixed charges and
supply sufficient money for carrying out
