BOWERS MAKES MOVE FOR
REPUBLICAN HARMONY
Suggests That He and Frantz
Get Out of Race, But
Latter Refuses

DR.. A. f. Frantz. the Union Repub-
lican candidate for mayor, Is standing
In the way Of the election Of a Repub
lican TO the office.
William II. Bowers, the Regular Re-
publican candidate. is willing to get OF
the ticket providing DR.. Trantz does.
and allow the Republicans OF the city
without regard TO faction to select a
man. DR.. Frantz refuses TO do this.
On Saturday Mr.. Bowers went to see
DR.. Frantz. and proposed TO him that
they both get off the head of the ticket
In the interest Of harmony. DIR. Frantz
would not accept the offer. This mat
ter was talked OF on the street this
morning, and a number of Republicans
favored the plan. 1t is argued that the
Democrats have nominated strong
ticket, one that it will be impossible to
defeat with two Republican tickets in
the field. The vote polled at the pri-
maries. compared with that at the fall
election, shows that the Republicans
could win with one ticket in the field
without effort but cannot win with
two.
Mr.. Bowers was seen this morning,
but he refused to have anything to say
about his talk with DR.. Frantz.

TOGETHER RUM0R
WORRIES DEMOCRATS
Republicans May Yet Agree
on One Ticket-Citizens
Party Formed

Democrats are worried over a rumor
which was current on the street this
morning to the effect that the two Re
publican facions would get together be-
fore the city election, June C. While no
definite information could be obtained
in this regard. a number Of Republican
leaders OF both factions were seen, and
admitted that it is possible they
would get together, and have but one
ticket The Unions, it is understood, are
now very anxious in this regard, and
the Regular Committee would probably
consider any proposition that may be
offered. The only way now that this
could be effected would be for one cam
didate for each office to resign.
A Citizens Republican party has been
formed, and will put an Independent
ticket in the field. AS a device the new
party has adopted a hatchet and
trowel. Swithin Chandler Walker, FL
ner e. Kirk and John w. Mccoy have
been appointed a committee to prepare
papers and file the ticket. Daniel F.
stewart win be the candidate for
mayor, and it is understood that Seth
H. Feaster will be on the ticket Tor
city treasurer. Mr.. Stewart stated
early this afternoon that the ticket
would probably be filed tonight.

Fire in Ice Plant.

Philadelphia, May 25.-Flames broke
out about 10 o'clock this morning in
the American Ice Companys plant, on
Catherine street below Eighth street.
The fire spread rapidly and menaced
the James Campbell public school at
the corner OF Eighth street. The
scholars were dismissed without panic.

and gave the police much trouble, be-
lieving their children were in peril
The blaze swept through the ice
works and stable adjoining and the
structure. an old affair, made easy fuel.
The entire ice manufacturing plant
was ablaze fifteen minutes after the
first alarm sounded. -Four calls were
sounded. Tanks of ammonia exploded
with terrific reports, filling the neigh
bors with terror. Adjoining the ice
plant is the House of Industry, a day
nursery. The children were led out
in good order. No one is known to be
injured. but the exploding chemicals
greatly hamper the firemen.

Way to the Scene.

Despite the threatening weather an i'm
mense concourse Of people witnessed the
Imposing ceremonies attending the corner
stone laying OF St. Thomas r. c. Church
at Fourth street and Grant avenue yester-
day afternoon. 1t Is estimated that be-
tween 5000 and 200 people were present,
1t was impossible for many to see the
priests performing tho ritual Of tbs

The ceremonies began at $3.50 O'Clock
when Bishop ]. ]. Monaghan accompanied
by Eumber OF priests and altar boys ar
rived on the soene walking from the Little
Sisters Home for the Aged, which is op-
posite the site OF the new church.

Members Of the St. Aloysius Society OF st.

Impressive Ceremonies.
A raised platform had been temporarily
erected for the occasion and upon at the
exercises were held. Besides the clergy
the choir under the leadership Of Professor
Lewis Preston. and the orchestra occupied
this raised structure
The ceremony OF laying the corner stone
was impressive. Before the block of
granite was finally fixed into position,
Bishop Monaghan followed by the clergy
present and altar boys, walked around the
platform and blessed the foundation walls
OF the new building with holy water.
After the "Gloria" (from Mozar) was
rendered by the choir the actual laying Of
the corner stone took place. Mrs. Mary
c. Preston then sang ''Veni Creator" The
people were probably most impressed
when at the end Of the ceremonies the
"Grand Te Deum" was sung. The choir,
the clergy and a large number of people
standing around the platform joined in the
singing Of the beautiful chorus.
Rev. Mccarthy Speaks.
The Rev. Mccarthy made two addresses
appropriate for the occasion, speaking in
the italian language first and then in Eng
aish. In the course Of his sermon he called
attention 20 the life OF St. Thomas after
whom the new church is named, his great
work in India where he gave his life in
martyrdom.

There is some disposition to
scoff at this sessions anti trust
legislation as farcical, especially
on the part of newspapers and
statesmen. who scornfully pre-
dicted that the republican party
owned by the trusts-could be
depended upon to see that moth
ing effective went through con-
gress along these lines. What
have the republicans actually
done? First, congress has given
to antitrust cases the right of
way in the courts and appropri-
ated money for more vigorous
prosecution. Second, it enacted
the Elkins law against rebates
whichstrengthened theinterstate
commerce act and makes culpable
the recipient as we'll as the giver
of transportation rebates.
Third, it has created a bureau of
corporations with large powers
to inquire into and make public
the operations of corporations,
extending even to the compelling
of testimony regarding their
operations. Here are three con-
crete enactments OF course this
trust legislation does not consti-
tute a 'smasher', and that is
what III democratic friends
we're trying to point out that the
country was in need of.

The urgent telegram sent by
Governor Taft from Manila to
the President and Secretary Root
have caused the president to
send a special message to Con
gress urging the passage of
a suitable tariff law to relieve
the serious conditions in the
islands. The President sug-
gests a special reduction of tariff
levied against Philippine goods
coming into the United States.
He states that a series of calam.
tiles have befallen the Philippine
people. Just as they were
emerging from nearly six years
of devastating warfare, there
has occurred an epidemic of rim
derpest destroying 80 per cent
of the carabaos, the Philippine
cattle, leaving the people without
draft animals to do farm or other
work. The presidents message
to congress is a very strong one,
but it is doubted whether such a
law as he urges can pass that
body at this time. Although low
tariff is a democratic doctrine,
there r elements of the demo
cratic party, such as Senator'S
Teller, Patterson. Dubois and
others hailing from beet sugar
states, who will work to prevent
any such tariff bill becoming a
