London. June 5.-The bishop of London
to-day headed a depUtation which visited
the music halls committee Of the London
county council to urge the immediate
suppression OF living statuary shows in
the interests Of morality and decency.
The deputation included representatives
Of the Catholic. Jewish. and Protestant
non-Conformist churches. besides more
than score of religious and social
purity societies.
The arguments followed the lines indi-
Gated in recent cable dispatches. Il was
also pointed out that Edinburgh. Glas-
gov, Manchester, Birmingham, and other
large cities have already forbidden such
shows. The chairman of the committee
said the matter had been discussed al
ready, but it would be reconsidered. The
deputation said if the committee did not
act they would appeal to the whole
council, as they were determined to stop
the shows.
The committee afterward received a
deputation Of living statues. who pleaded
the innocence Of the productions and sub
mitted the approval Of several artists and
others.

Harrisburg. Pa. June 5.-The candidacy
of United States Senator Philander c.
Knox for President of the United States
will be formally launched by the unani-
nous vote of the Pennsylvania Republi
can StCte convention tomorrow morning.
Judging from the attitude Of the dele
gates, who are hocking into Harrisburg
tonight. the Republicans Of the State are
practically unanimous for Knox There
will not be a vote against his Endorsement
al the convention tomorrow. The feel
ing here tonight is that this will be not
simply a complimentary Endorsement. but
that the junior Pennsylvania Senator is
the logical successor of Theodore Roose-
velt in the White House.
So deeply impressed are the leaders and
delegates with the Importance Of the
Knox Endorsement that IL has over
shadOwed the other work Of the conven-
ton, and comparatively little attention is
being devoted to its selection of a State
treasurer, the only State Office to be filled
this year.
Indications are that the nominee for
treasurer viii be John 0. Sheath. OF Phil
adelphia who has been an Independent
Republican member Of the legislature for
three sessions.
