DEMOCRATIC COURT FIGHT
AROUSES KEEN INTEREST
6onnIwelI Gets Many Votes for state
Surname Tribunal


Harrisburg, Sept. 24.-(By A. P)--
With the fate of the constitutional con-
vention sealed and election Of Colonel
Thomas s. Crago as Congressman at
Large settled by the official returns OF the
two special elections thus far filed with
the State Bureau Of Elections, there Is
keen interest being manifested in the
Democratic nominee for Supreme Court
Justice.
This will not be determined until the
results of the primary election, which is
entirely separate from the special cleo
tions. These returns will come from
County Commissioners and will take
some time to complete They will also
determine size Of majorities In judicial
nomination battles, about which there Is
much controversy.
From word reaching the State capi-
tai there were many Democratic votes
for Justice William l. Schaffer, and
many for Judge Eugene G. Bonniwell,
of Philadelphia, and II. s. Dumbauld,
of Uniontown.
Returns at hand for the convention
show some of the smaller counties which
voted against the convention proposition
in 1901 to have been favorable to 1t this
week.
Some questions have arisen as to what
becomes of the men nominated for dele
gates TO the convention. Information
will be sent out that by reason Of the
adverse vote on the convention the nom
nations are void and will not be GER
tified for printing on the November elec-
ton ballots.

Defender Of Ku kluxIsm, Urged

Dismissal Of the Rev. w. II Moses
as pastor of Zion Baptist Church was
recommended in the interest Of the
Negro race Of Philadelphia at an In
dignation meeting protesting against
the Ku Klux Klan, held last night in
St. Peter ClaVer's Hall, Twelfth and
Lombard streets.
More than one thousand Negro citi-
Gems attended the meeting. Mr. Moses,
who had been invited 70 explain why he
had written letter 10 newspapers in
defense OF Eu Kluxtsm, was not pres
ent.
"Mr. Moses is only an Obscure Negro
preacher, said Chanler Owen, edl-
Tor Of the Messenger, a New York
paper printed In the interest Of the
Negro. lie made the principal address.
He charged Mr.. Noses with attempting
20 prevent the protest meeting He also
advocated the organization OF a branch
here Of the Friends Of Negro Freedom
q national organization to combat the
Khan.
Mr.. Owen asserted that one reason
why investigation of I'll" Klan il pro-

yestigators are members OF the invlSi-
Bile empire. Klansmen, he said were
responsible for the defeat Of the EQUAL
Rights bill at Harrisburg.
