Philadelphia Men Aim to Rid
Party of Bosses.
fRy T.legraph 10 IN, Tribune.


Philadelphia, Aug l3-lnitial steps were
taken here to-day for reorganization OF
the Republican party in Pennsylvania
and in the nation. The reorganization
scheme was started through an informal
discussion, in which men prominent in
Philadelphia and nationally took part.
II was decided that the Republican
party is just as good now as II was years
ago. but that to keep it as the dominant
party there must be an elimination OF
present leaders. 1t is not the intention OF
these men to read any one out OF the
party. but to bring about leadership in the
place OF bossism.
Among those foremost in the movement
are William T. Tilden. president OF the
Union League: ex-Ambassador Charlie
magne Tower. Wayne MacVeagh. Hampton
l.. Carson. Henry c. Todd, Marlin f.
Olmsted Edwin Stuart. Nathan T. Fol-
well. Rudolph Blankenburg, William Pep
per. c. Stuart Patterson and William Pot
ter, All are stanch supporters of Presi-
dent Taft.
President Tilden OF the Union League
to-day announced the names of the mem
bers of committee of one hundred APP
pointed TO further the candidacy of Pres'-
dent Taft.

FRANK GILL GIVES
 UP TO THE POLICE

Frank Gill, the negro who killed Charles Williams, another negro, at a negro festival in Pine Bluff suburb several months ago, and who has been at large ever since, walked into the police office last night and surrender ed to Assistant Chief of Police Reeves He was placed in the city jail and will be transferred to a magistrates court this morning to answer charge of murder, that is pending against him. Gill says he has been in Little Rock ever since committing the crime. He says he acted in self defense. Gill left the city on the night of the tragedy. Witnesses all declare that Williams was about to attack him with butch CT knife and that he was forced to kill him. The officers were sure that Gill would surrender, as they decided after an investigation that he was justified in slaying Williams.
