Influential Newspaper Heartily En-
dorses Republican Candi-
date For Governor

Under the striking caption, "Dr.
Martin G. Brumbaugh, Our Candidate
For Governor" the Philadelphia Pub
lie Ledger to-day comes out strongly
in behalf of the Republican nominee,
urging his election at the polls in No
vember.
The Public Ledger during the pri-
mary campaign had inclined slightly
toward Vance c. Mccormick and had
supported his candidacy for the Dem
ocratic nomination for Governor as
opposed to that of Michael j. Ryan.
But evidently the Ledger. which led
the newspapers of the State in criti-
cism of the $4,000 which Mccormick
spent out of his own pocket to procure
the nomination, could not stand the
excessive and uncalled for use of
money as practiced by Mccormick in
has campaign, as since the publication
of the expense accounts it mas turned
vigorously against him and in the fol-
lowing convincing language to-day

ENGLAND S FAMOUS
CORONATION STONE
DAMAGED BY BOMB
"Wild Women" Put Dynamite
Beneath Relic Dating Back
in History to Year $50
BY. ASSociatcd PrcsS

London, June 11.-An attempt to
blow up the Coronation chair which
has been in Westminster Abbey, since
1896 was made this evening. The
outrage is attributed by the authori-
ties to militant suffragettes.
The chair. generally called st. Ed
wards chair, out of respect to Edward
the Confessor, near whose shrine it
stands was made by order of King
Edward l to hold the coronation stone
or 'stone of destiny on which the
ancient Scottish kings used to sit when
they were crowned. 1t was captured
by Edward / from the Scotch. The
damage caused to the chair by to-day
explosion was slight.
The history of the stone so far as it
is known goes back to the year $50,
when 1t was placed in the Abbey of
Scone, Perthshire, by King Kenneth.
1t is not known whence it originally
came, but legend connected with 1t
says it is the identical stone upon
which the Biblical patriarch Jacob
laid his head when he had the vision
OF the angels descending the ladder
that reached to heaven. 1t is known
that the Kings of Scotland for many
centuries weer crowdned while seated
on it.
The police quickly took possession of
the Abbey after the outrage.
