MUNICIPAL REFORM
Governor Folk So saks at Phila-
deIphia in Aid of Mayor
Weaver's Campaign.
GRAFT rs THE PEOPLES FAULT
They Can Have 1t or Not, just as They
Wish, for They Are Stronger ss,s,s
Than the Grafters.

Philadelphia, Oct. Ii. = The great
battle between the local Republican
organization and the City party, the
municipal reform organization recently
formed here, has been enlivened by a
visit Of Governor Folk, of Missouri,
who came to lend his voice in the in
terest Of good government. The Mis-
souri, governor addressed a large and
enthusiastic audience in the Academy
OF Music. He spoke under the auspices
of the city club, which claims no con
nection with the City party. Govern
or Folk had an exceedingly busy day,
and his reception wherever he ap-
peared during the day and evening was
a f1attering one. The crowd that at
tempted to gain entrance to the Aacad-
envy was SO great that the doors were
closed before the meeting began.
Insisted on Hearing Folk.
Several thousand persons who could
not get in were addressed by City
mass meeting was in progress Govern.
or Folk arrived, and the assemblage
would not permit him to enter the
building until he had addressed them.
He made short speech. When he en-
tered the Academy the entire audience
stood up to welcome him. Mayor Weav-
err occupied proscenium box, and was
given a warm welcome when he APP
peared. Wayne MacVeagh, who made
a brief speech introducing Governor
Folk, who said in part:
People Not Doing Their Duty.
"The most conspicuous fact of
municipal governments in the United
States today is that they are govern
ments by the few and not by the peo-
pie. There is more aggressive rotten
ness and less aggressive patriotism in
our large cities than anywhere else. If
the patriotism can be made as aggres.
sive as the rottenness the problem of
good government would be solved by
the poole taking the government into
their own hands. If corruption exists
in Philadelphia the people are to
blame; if corruption is to be eradicated
the people alone can do it.
The average man does not appreciate
the solemn duty he owes his city, his
state and his country.

MADE FACES At HEYL
Mrs. HeyI Second Admits Doing
So Eefore She Was Mar
ried to Him.
SMILES AT HIM OVER THE FACT
Later She Is in Tears on the Stand
Testimony the Judge Desires
Illumined a Little.

Milwaukee, Oct. IL. - Mrs. Jacob
Heyl denied that her mother bothered
her into marrying the husband of her
dead sister. The flat denial came in
the course of an examination Of Mrs.
Heyl, heir to practically all of the
Schandein millions, before Judge Car
penter, in the contest Of the will Of
Mrs. Lizette Schandein by Mrs. Louis
+. Frank and Emil Schanedin, the
other two children. Mrs. Heyl admit
ted that as girl she made faces at
the man who is now her husband and
through whose efforts, it is alleged,
she is the residuary legatee Of the vast
estate of the Schandeins.
She Smiles at Her Husband.
From the testimony it would appear
that Clara made faces at Heyl prior
to the time that he married the eldest
OF Schandein's daughters. Mrs. Heyl
smiled at her husband as she admit
ted the truth of the face-making testi-
fed to by the servants. She was on
the stand throughout the entire ses-
sion Of court. Mrs. Heyl testified that
her mothers hair began to turn when
Heyps first wife, sister of Mrs. Heyl,
died in 1883, and that it turned white
rapidly after the death Of Schandein
in July Of that same year. She also
testified that she and her mother were
A
four days before Mrs. Schandein had
the stroke of apoplexy from which she
never recovered.
Mrs. We'll Makes Some DeniaIs.
Mrs. Rosa We'll was called to the
stand and was asked if she knew Mrs.
Schandein, and whether she knew
that Mrs. Schandein had an illegiti-
mate child. She denied any informa-
ton upon this subject, and denied ever
having given currency to such a re-
port. She also denied that she had
ever repeated any such rumOrs, or
rumOr that Mrs. Schandein had re-
ceived treatment in a hospital at Bonn,
Germany.
Mrs. Heyl in Tears.
Mrs. Heyl then resumed the stand
in tears, and was visibly affected by
the questions put to the preceding wit
ness. She submitted to a searching
cross examination concerning her mar
rage to Heyl and finally admitted that
she did not love Heyl, but married
him out of love for her mother, Mrs.
Schandein. During the testimony Of
Mrs. Heyl, her husband, who was sit
ting at the attorneys table, gazed at
her steadily and then away. Once or
twice he was seen to shake his head
as though disagreeing in his own mind
with some of the testimony

A large number of legislators ana
other public men attended the funeral

AS the long session draws to a close
the amenities born by long association
become more marked. There is greater
harmony and more jolly good feeling

HoRWAY's SECESSION.

The cstensibie and immediate cause
OF the action of the Norwegian parlia-
ment in dissolving the union of Sweden
and Norway is the vetoing by King
Oscar of bill passed by the storthing
providing for a separate Norwegian con-
sular service, a measure which would
have involved q separate Norwegian for
eign minister also, leaving the person OF
the king as the only link between the
two countries.
But the sepe-atist feeling in Norway
is deep seated and of long standing; the
undisturbed continuance of the union
has been mainly the result of sense
that both members Of the dual kingdom
were confronted with a common danger
from Russia and with the weakening of
that sense IN the hour of Russia's en-
barassment and enfeebled prestige the
Norwegian dislike of the Swedish con-
nectiCn has frankly asserted itself.
In fact, Norway's insistence on a sep
arate consular service-a natter which,
while the common Russian peril bulked
large in the popular mind, might have
been tided oyer or compromised-is the
positive expression of deep seated and
long repressed aspiration to independent
nationhood The Norwegian people
have never in their hearts acquiesced in
the arrangement resulting from the
cession of their country to Sweden over
eighty years ago, and which entailed on
them q certain subordinstion In the IN
ion, especially in the matter Of foreign
relations
The proposed separate consular ser
vice, involving separate and in some
cases contradictory foreign policies,
would have been an anomalous arrange
ment under a political union, and Nor
ways insistence on 1t must be taken as
an Intentional paving the way for seces-
sion or dissolution Of the union. Geog
rsphicslly the two countries seem des-
tined for unity and in union was
strength as against foreign aggression.
But between the two peoples there are
certain points Of incompatibilty NOT,
fortunately, of a, 1ual hostility social
and economic, and perhaps Temperament
tai, which long have made for separa-
ton. With Russia's preoccupation AMI
temporary collapse came Norway's OPP
portunity; and to all appearances the
dual kingdom is per manently split
What will De Norway's new political
constitution and how far the democratic
tendencies Of the country will be as
serted in ii remains to be seen. It is
not believed that Sweden will attempt to
coerce the seeding state or that there
will be q resort to arms, although there
has been ominous talk in the Swedish
press touching the reported floating Of
Norwegian loan "a war fund to be
used in case coercion should be attempt
ed. DR.. Sven Hedin, speaking for Swe-
den. declared recently that no effort
would be made to prevent Norway g
secession, and he added significantly.
