FIGHT IS ON IN
KEYSTONE STATE

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 2S.-Penn-
sylvania's unique campaign is now on
in earnest and it is proving fully as
exciting as was forcasted earlier In
the summer. The managers of the
regular republican organization are
using every effort to inject as much
national politics into the contest as
possible. Stand bv Roosevelt" and
stand by the Tariff are the rallying
cries. Outside speakers are being
urged to come into the state with the
hope that the contest may be natialized
as much as possible. Speaker Cannon
and several other leaders of national
prominence have consented to visit the
state, but they will confine their speech
making to the close congressional dis.
tricts. \
The Lincoln republicans and the
democrats, who have joined i'm fusion
ticket, declare that it is purely a state
fight, and say that the effort of the
regular republicans to introduce ma
tional questions is for the purpose of
diverting the attention Of the voters.
from the real issue, which is, Shall
the state organization formed byQ uay
and passed down to Penrose be per-
mitted to control the politics of the
state?"
Opinions differ as to what the out
come will be. The Lincoln republicans
and the democrats won a notable VIC
tory in Philadelphia last fall and they
hope to duplicate that victory in the
state this year. But they are not as
harmonious now as they were in the
local campaign last year and some
close observers doubt If they can carry
the state. Nevertheless, 1t is an ex-
ceedingly Interesting fight
Each side wants it to appear that
President Roosevelt is in sympathy
with it. The president is to visit the
state next week, going first to Harris
burg to attend the dedication of the
new state capitol and then to York to
attend county fair. So far he has
remained strictly neutral in the fight
and 1t is regarded as unlikely that he
will touch upon politics in his address :.

Creek the Only Barrier.

Not until the small stream running
through the town was reached could
the flames be fought to any advantage.
Brave fighters took their position in
the stream, and brigades were on the

A constant stream of water was kept
on the approach to the bridge by the
bucket brigade, and the flames did not

articles they especially cherished, and
these were taken from the burning
structures. but the valley Is so mar

the goods could not be saved House,
hold goods were carried high upon the
hill for safety. and the tired populace
struggling up the hill with more arti-
cles would see the effects Of their
labors wiped out by single flash Of
the flames. as the wind would ,give a
squirt, and carry the fire to the dry
grass on the hillside. Before any one
could reach the scene the flames would
lick up the articles and in few mo-

Are Homeless in Streets.
While it was only the business Sec
tion Of the city that. burned it leaves
a large proportion of the population
homeless and dependent upon the
goodness Of their neighbors for shelter.
Many of the business men had their
dwellings, as part of their places of
business. Sitting rooms and kitchens
were furnished In the back of the
store buildings. Very rev residences
are left In the city and they are not
nearly adequate to shelter the people.
Agent w. j. Jordan of the Northern

OF the 5000 school children who have

weeks by the city health authorities
at least $500 must again submit to the
operation. The vaccine points used by
DIR. Powers and DIR. Garcelon, with a
few exceptions, have been found to
be worthless and the work of the two
physicians has been in vain. The dis
covery of this fact brings as large a
disappointment to the health depart
nent as it does to the many hundreds
of children who have waited, often
hours at a time for their turn to go
before the physicians.
The points used were manufactured
yb the National Vaccine company OF
Washington, d. C. They were shipped
to Los Angeles by the southern route
and in their transportation across the
desert must have become overheated.
With only a few exceptions the entire
5000 points were made harmless by
the excessive heat.
The only way by which a point may
be tested as to the strength of the
virus which 1t contains is to use it,
is the assertion Of physicians

of the points was made when the

these are all ready on the way by the

Tuesday that the payments began to
come in any appreciable amount.
October the total collections
amounted to s31,962.S2. At the same
time last year the amount was only

Barber Asphalt Company Has Big
contraet-Other Plans involve
Expenditure Of Large
Sums Of Money

Work will be begun this week by the
Barber Asphalt company on the paving
of San Pedro street, from Fifth to JEFF
ferson street. The Improvement in
wolves the expenditure of Approximately
100000, and is one of the largest paving
jobs to be undertaken in the history of
the city. The street will be paved with
asphalt for q distance of twenty-nine
blocks.
Another Improvement to be UNDER
taken within the next ten days will be
the paving of Seventh street. from Fig.
ueroa to Francisco street. Brick will
be the material used, as the grade of
the street Is a steep one and II offers
a better foothold than asphalt for
horses. The contract for the improve
ment has been let to the Barber conf
pany.
When these two improvements are
undertaken and including work of a
similar character, Los Angeles, 1t Is
claimed, will have the largest amount
of pavement under construction Of any
city in the country

Union to Graham; Olive from Fifth to
Pico, and Central avenue from Twelfth
street to Slosson avenue. In addition

be let within the next ten days. This
improvement, estimating from bids on
