HOLDS CROWDED MASS MEETING TCARNEGIE HALE.

Emphasizes His Independence of Any
 Political Machine-StiII Determined
 Never to Remain in office by the
 Grace of Any Man or Group of Men
 Standing Between Public servant and
 Voters. ,.
 New York, Oct. 1S.--District Attorney Jerome inaugurated his active carn- paign for reelection tonight at a crowded mass meeting at Carnegie hall. MT. Jerome emphasized his inde- pendence of any political machine, de- claring: "The real issue is. take 1t, just what I tried to make it in a little declaration that I made in August. I said then that 1t seemed to me that one of the greatest evils of the present time is that small groups of men have, and not infrequently d single man has, obtained control of the executive ma chinery of party organizations and nominating conventions and stands be- tween the public servant and the vot- CTS. The result is that one in the pub- lie office usually has to choose between "a termination of his public career and subserviency to such a man or group of men. But do not purpose to remain in office by the grace of any man or group of men such as I have indicated .''

M'GOVERN WINS EASILY.
Disposes of Murphy in Two Minutes and
 Two Seconds.

SN
 Two Seconds.
 Philadelphia, Oct 18.-Tommy Mur- phy of New York was badly beaten by Terry McGovern tonight at the Na- tional Athletic club. It took McGov- ern only two minutes and two seconds to gain the victory. Murphy was so helpless before the blows of the for mer champion that the referee stepped in and saved Murphy from probably serious injury. The defeated man was game to the end. McGovern showed his old time form, fighting hard and fast from the sound of the gong.
 McGovern opened the round by swing ing hard to Murphys face and neck. He followed this with hard blow to the body and then to the ear before Mur- phy could land. After that it was all McGovern. He landed at will, Murphy began mixing it up, and got the worst of it. He was knocked down six times, and each time he came to his feet stag gering. McGovern stood over him and struck him blow after blow. Finally Murphy became defenseless and the referee stepped in and ended the un- even contest. Murphy was carried to his corner in an almost unconscious condition.
 The club house was so crowded that hundreds of persons were turned away. Announcement was made that McGov~ ern and Corbett had agreed to meet in six round but at the club in short time

HOLD FIRST GREAT RALLT OF CAMPAIGN IN QUAKER
 CITY.

Even United States Senator PenrOsc

 packer Endorses One or Two Things
 Weaver Has Done.
 Philadelphia, Oct. 15.-The first great rally of the regular republicans of the city took place tonight under the aus pices of the state committee. The meeting was held in the Academy of Music and so large was the crowd that gained admittance to the great audito- rum that the doors had to be closed before the speakers arrived. Among the ten speakers were General Samuel Pennypacller and United States Senator Boise Penrose, both of whom were re- ceived with great enthusiasm.
 While the meeting was in progress enthusiasm ran riot among those on the streets surrounding the academy, who could not gain admittance- A dozen political clubs marched past the build ing, while small cannon boomed from the roofs of nearby club houses. Great quantities of red fire were burned.
 Within the building the long list of speakers helped to keep up the enthu- siasm. Peter Boyd, prominent local republican, f1ayed the city party. Gov ernor Pennypacker next spoke and was followed by Senator Penrose.
 Governor Pennypacker said he was not disturbed about Philadelphias pres ent condition and was hopeful of her future. T hope you will bear with me- said he, while I speak to you in absolute frankness about your affairs.
 Tn using the power of his office to prevent the extension of the gas lease for 75 years the mayor did exactly right. The gas works ought never to have been leased to the United Gas I'm provement company.
 Insofar as the mayor has endeavor- ed to prevent those by whom he was surrounded from improperly benefitjng themselves at the expense of the city treasury, he has received, and he ought to receive, the support of every good citizen. Insofar as he has aided in the removal from the assessors lists of the names of all persons remaining improp- erly upon those lists, because of care lessness or fraud, he has conferred a public benefit for which all ought to be thankful.
 "Unhappily, the situation in Phila- delphia has been taken advantage of by shifty politicians to advance their own interests, and, unhappily, the may or has forgotten the functions of his office in announcing himself as the leader of political movement. He has done much more and much worse. He has promised to use the powers en- trusted to him as mayor to aid the cause"
 With this assumption of political Leadership, the speaker declared,' re- 1 formation pe"ished.
 Senator Penrose said: "The repub- | lican party in this city and state has no apology to offer to hypocritical cant; no defense to offer to malignant falsehood pressed to a flood tide of defamation; and no explanation to off, | fer to political conspirators who would -

CHARGES AGAINST ENGLAND
MADE AT THE NATIONAL PURITY
 CONFERENCE.

Mrs Katherine Bushnell, the Purity
 Evangelist, Declares That Govern
 ment Agents at Hong Kong and
 Singapore Protect Exporting of Chi-
 nese and Japanese Girls for Immoral
 Purposes.
 La Crosse, Wis. Oct. 1S,-Serious charges against the British govern ment were made at the National Pur- ity conference to-day by Mrs. Rather inc Bushnell of Oakland, California, world purity evangelist! Mrs. Bush- nell charged that the exporting of Chinese and Japanese girls for immor- al purposes was recognized business in the Far East, &nd that it was car- ried on under the protection, encour- agement and supervision of the British government agents at Hong Kong and Singapore. The matter had been re- ported to the London government, she said, but she claimed to have personal knowledge that the practice was going on as before under full government protection.
 The conference to-day decided to call national purity convention to be held at Boston in 1906. It was decided also to organize every state in the union against the traffic in girls, which all the speakers agreed was the worst problem the purity associations have to face, and to endeavor to secure sci entif1c instruction on purity in every public school and every normal school in the country.
