Philadelphia Reformers Plan to De-
feat Republican Organization.

Philadelphia. June 19.-The Repub-
lican city campaign committee today
announced that a subcommittee of
three consisting of Chairman James L.
Miles, David Martin and David H.
Lane had been appointed to meet a
similar committee from the commit
tee of twenty one to consider a de-
mand that the party ticket named for
the November election be changed.
The committee is also empowered to
see the candidates and endeavOr to
induce them to withdraw.
The possible naming of a new ticket
will not necessarily cause a withdrawal
of the opposition to the Republican
organization under the leadership of
I. W. Durham. Mayor Weaver and
his friends. who formerly were strong
allies of the organization. are believed
to be hostile to any move that will
continue the present leaders in power.
In addition the committee of seventy,
a strong reform organization, is per
fecting itself in every ward with the
declared intention of placing a ticket
in the field independent of what the
Republican organization may do The
reform leaders are apparently conf
dent of their ability to defeat the reg
ular Republican ticket, and they say
they will have the support of the
mayor and practically of all the office
holders recently appointed to take the
place of the men removed since the
mayors war on the organization lead

hands behind us, and covered our eyes
again. Dark misgivings of what was

doors, and there could tell they were

he grunted, straining at the

carriage. There was crack of the
whip, and the horses went off bound

us and wagons following. I had a
stout heart in me those days, but in
all my life had never taken ride

rough roads, up hill and down, for an
hour or more.

swung open presently, and we were
led in where I could see no sign Of any
light. They took me alone across q
wide bare floor, where they set me
down on some sort Of platform and
left me, as thought. Then could
hear the whispered challenge at the
door and one after another entering
and crossing the bare floor on tiptoe.
Hundreds were coming in, it seemed to
me. Suddenly deep silence fell in

In the dead silence got feeling
that the hand touching me had no body
behind it. I was beyond the reach Of
fear--I was in way prepared for
anything but the deep, heart-shaking
horror that sank under the cold,
damp touch Of those fingers. They
