G. O.P. IS SPLIT
Philadelphia Reformers See Chance
for Political Victory.

Philadelphia, Sept. Am investiga-
ton which may produce sensations in
the present local political campaign
began today when commission
created by the Pennsylvania state sen
ate sat at the city ian and heard the
Charges against the conduct of the ad-
ministration of Mayor John E. Rey-
burn. The commission is composed of
state senators appointed under a reso-
luton adopted by the senate last spring
to investigate complaints made be-
tween legislative sessions against
judges or persons holding civil Offices
The investigation was instituted by
Logan M. Bullitt, chairman of the tax
payers committee of Philadelphia whn
petitioned the commission to inquire
into charges made by him and his as
sociates, that there has been gross
dishonesty in the conduct of the ad-
ministration of Mayor Reyburn espe-
cially in the conduct of the department
of public safety and public works.
The investigation committee is in the
midst of one of the fiercest political
campaigns ever waged in Philadelphia
The local Republican organization is
split for the first time in 16 years.
This condition came about when Will
liam S. Ware, who shares the leader
ship in the city with State Senator
James P. McNichol. announced himself
las a candidate for mayor. Senator
McNichol announced his opposition to
Vare's candidacy and he is supported
i'll this opposition by United States Sen
ator Penrose. the state leader. Mayor
Reyburn and his political lieutenants
are supporting Ware. senators Penrose
and McNichol are behind George Fl.
Earle, Jr for the nomination and a
third candidate for the Republican
nomination is Diner ReeDer.
Senator NIcNichol is a member of the
investi eating committee but will not sit
with it. There is also a. contest among
the reform element of the city both D.
Clarence Gibboney and Rudolph Blank
enburg striving for the Keystone party
nomination. The reformers believe that
owing to the split in the regular Re-
publican ranks their chances of sue
cess are bright.

SECRET
Battles of Future Will Be Fought at
Long Range.

Washington, Sept. THE Atlantic
Heet is accomplishing much in the So
luton of the problems of War by the
target practice now in progress off the
Chesapeake capes according to advices
to the navy department. These exer-
cises will determine primarily the eff
fectiveness of long range firing Bat
ties of the future will be fought at long
ranges, between a. maximum and mini
mum of $1,000 and 5000 yards. and the
present practice is expected to yield
much valuable information as, to ef-
hciency q the gun crews and as to
how far the guns of various callDre
can be depended upon to hit with any
degree of accuracy
At the close of each day, Rear Ad-
Iniral Hugo OSterhauS sends a wire
less message to the secretary OF the
ayy stating that he completed problem
IA or problem b This means
muck to the officers and officials of the
navy, but very little of the informa-
tion will leak out to the public 1t
will be always enshrouded with secrecy
in order that no foreign power may
learn just what this country is doing
with naval ordnance problems. The
comparative records OF the various
ships, it is said, may be published when
the exercises are concluded The real
accomplishments however, will be kept
confidential
Naval officers here today declared
that the practice had proceeded with
greater celerity than had been antici-
pated. The battleship nrlaware may
complete is ong range experimental
firing at the old EatLleShip San Mar
COS next week. These tests according
tc report were suddenly terminated
Temporarily several days ago by Rear
admiral Osterhaus because the D7la-
ware by mistake fired at the repair
ship Panther, standing 1900 yards away
from the San Marcos
The big guns of the Delaware are
expected to shatter the San Marcos to
pieces in the forthcoming experiments
and then the remains Of the old ship
