INVOKED
WHEN SURGERY FAILS
Boy Sent to Glen Mills When
Operation Does Not Improve
His Conduct

The failure Of modern surgery to trans
form lb-year old John Gosman, of 223
Hurley street, from the worst boy IN
town TO one OF the best" caused the Ju-
venile Court officials to fall back on the
Glen Mills Reformatory as the place TO
send bad boys, instead of to the Philadel-
phia Hospital.
The lad, who has been In the House
OF Detention on numerous occasions be-
cause OF his violent temper and ten
dency TO remain away from home and
school, underwent an operation at the
Philadelphia Hospital during the summer
OF 1914 for a depression of the scuh. II
was thought that his habits we're due
to brain pressure, which could be re-
lieved by an operation.
Following the operation the lad was
sent home, but soon was back In the
House OF Detention, apparently as way
ward as ever. He was again sent back
10 the hospital and kept under observa-
tion. but when the lad was discharged
he remained at his home only few days
and then ran away TO go TO Atlantic City.
While attempting TO rob the house OF
Policeman Patterson, of this city, at
Clementon, N. j., the lad was caught and
brought back to the House OF Detention,
from which he escaped few days later
He was rearrested in Norristown yester-
day.
Judge MaeNeille closely questioned the
LADS mother as TO his conduct at home.
She said that the boy had spasmodic
spells OF badness and when his temper
was aroused threatened his mother.
brothers and sisters. The Juvenile Court
officials have obtained many positions for
the boy, but he was always discharged
because OF his lighting disposition and,
sometimes. because OF dishonesty.

This morning the boys mother went 10

have a hearing today for being bad"
Then, later they told her he was dead.
The principle at stake in the case is one

GREAT WINDSTORM
NOW Is HEADED FOR
TWO OTHER CITIES
Shreveport and Vicksburg in
Direct Path of West Indies
Hurricane That Wrecked
New Orleans
MANY DEATHS REPORTED

MOBILE, Ala Sept. 90 - The great
storm which swept from the West Indies
over New Orleans last night is driving
forward at a velocity of 80 miles an hour
towards Vicksburg, Miss, and Shreve-
port, La The strength of the gale is in
creasng, High winds are reported at
points so miles inland in southern Louisi-
ana, with which communication was lost
early last night.
Recovering slowly from the terrific
shock of last nights tempest and hurri-
cane, New Orleans is endeavoring to
make an estimate of the death and dam
age wrought by the wind and gale in the
two hours during which 1t was held i'm
the grip of one of the greatest atmos-
pheric onslaughts that ever struck the
Louisiana coast 1t will be hours before
a more or less complete estimate of dam
age to life and property will be formed.
Only most meagre communication with
the stricken city is possible at present,
the only means OF obtaining information
being through ships equipped with wire
less.
Ten persons are known to be dead and
about $50 injured as the result Of the
hurricane thus far. The property loss is
estimated at more than s1OC0,OOO ut this
amount is expected to be greatly in
creased when the full estimate is an
nounced.
Latest reports state that Shreveport, La,
has been cut off from communication with
New Orleans and the Louisiana -Missis-
sippi coast district since 10 o'clock last
night, but reports before train traffic
was discontinued and all wires went
down told of heavy property damage
and some loss of life. Many persons were
caught in danger points, and later ad-
vices today are expected to. add to the
n af
reported at from five to ten.
The report, which was relayed to this
city from New Orleans by the steamships
Excelsior and Creole. stated that the
wind blew at an average speed of more
than so miles an hour, and at times
reached velocity OF $50 miles The storm
struck hardest between $3.50 and d. m
last evening.
When the hurricane hit New Orlean,
the electric light plant was damaged anI
the New Orleans wireless station wa,
put out of commission.

LOSES APPEAL FOR CHARTER
Judge Sulzberger Doubts That Pur-
pose Is "Social Improvement"

The Helping Hand Society" was re-
fused charter today by Judge Sulz-
berger In Court of Common Pleas No. @,
because one meeting a year. in the
opinion of the court, did not warrant the
statement OF the petition that one of the
purposes Of the society was social i'm
provement."
THE public policy of the State" re-
marked Judge Sulzberger, "is not to be
defeated or circumvented by mere astlte-
ness. The facts indicate that the society
Is substantially mutual insurance COM
pany.'
Judge Sulzberger held that the policy
OF the commonwealth is 10 hold organiza-

CARR WILL TAKE
ACTIVE PART IN
REFORM BATTLE
Will Serve Valiantly in Ranks,
But Cannot Undertake
Management of
Campaign
INDEPENDENTS PLEASED

George wentworth Carr today Informed
leaders OF the Independent forces that ne
will pitch into the fight against the con-
tractor bosses and their candidates TINS
fall, and will help in every way ne can
to bring about the election OF George d.
Porter as Mayor and the election OF an
Embossed Councils.
For purely business reasons, however,
Mr. Carr Informed the other leaders OF
the Independent hosts that he could not
accept the post of campaign manager
which every effort has been made TO
persuade him to accept.
MIR. Carr managed the Blankenburg
campaign In 1911 and has been one OF the
leaders of the independents in every
campaign against the Republican organi-
zation since 1905.
The announcement that he Will take an
active part in the campaign of the inde-
pendents this year was hailed with de-
light by the other Independent leaders.
as his experience in former campaigns
makes him q valuable asset In the inde-
pendent campaign.
In letter sent to the Public Service
Committee of One Hundred today, Mr..
Carr promised his active participation In
the campaign, and at the same time ex-
planned why he was forced to decline the
post of campaign manager
The independents today pre-empted the
title of Franklin party for many individ-
ual election divisions In various parts Of
the city. The title for the county and
for each of the As wards was pre-empted
yesterday Presumption for the divisions
will probably not be general, but is being
made in wards where the, Organization
absolutely controls the election ma
chinery, and where the independents,
without the vehicle of the new party
name, cannot fight for the election of
their own assessors and other division
officers.
Before the end of the week a Franklin
party City Committee will be organized,
franklin Washington headquarters will
be opened In each of the iS wards In the
city and the other moves to organize
thoroughly the Independent campaign
will be carried out,
Another meeting OF the $50 pre-emptors
vino signed the papers filed with the
Prothonotary of the Courts taking the
title OF the new party will be called
within a few days, II was announced by
the Committee of One Hundred today,
and the new City Committee will be or
ganized and steps will be taken to place
on the ticket Of the Franklin party the
names of George d. Porter, Washington
party candidate for Mayor, and most of
the other Washington party candidates.
The pre-emptors of a party title, under
the provisions of the law regulating pre-
emption, have the power to elect city
committee and to name the candidates
that will go on the ticket of the new
party.
Immediately after a campaign manager
has been selected. the various commit
tees on speakers, meetings, etc, will be
named, and the campaign of the inde-
pendents will be started actively in every
| part of the city.

men. AS the crowds increased the jam at
the east gate became so great that many
OF the older men and women became
faint.
When It appeared that some were to
be injured In the jam. Secretary Tumulty
appeared on the balcony over the en-
trance and shouted TO the officers TO ad-
NIT any one who desired to shake hands
with the President.
The officers were instructed to keep the
crowd in single file and when this order
was perfectly clear the rioting ceased
and the procession started into the White
House.
National defense was a leading topic
today. Endorsement OF President VIII
sons peace policy was planned in a
dozen resolutions prepared by delegates.
The contest for the ONCE Of commander
in-chief today seemed narrowed to Cap
tain Elias Monfort. OF Cinclnanti; Frank
Cole, OF Jersey City. and Commander
william j. Patterson. Of Pittsburgh. Pa.
Patterson and Cole are splitting sup
port of the Eastern and New England
States, while Monforts friends claim
solid backing OF the heavily represented
Middle and Far Western States. Coles
supporters predicted stampede TO their
candidate.
Organization leaders today outlined a
departure from precedent In electinE a
senior Vice commander-in-ehIef or v,cs
president. Instead of following tradl-
ton and electing a man native OF the
city where the eneampment Is held, Il IA
now planned to pick from the country
at large, The tradition probably will be
followed this year with the election ot
