jfoiluulclphla shivered this morning,
rolled over In bed, pulled more blankets
over Its head, and went to sleep again. It
wns too cold to get up nearly.
No. It Is not yet winter. It's not even
autumn, but there were many persons
who scrutinized the dato line on their
newspaper befdro they could be convinced
that tho month was still August. The
weather was such that n cold plunge re
quired much bravado and open trolley
windows became annoying. Philadelphia
doesn't want to shiver In summer.
Tho weather man, erratic prophet
though he be, forecast true yesterday Ito
predicted that today would be cold.
Everybody knows It Is. The thermometer
registered CO degrees nt rising time today,
and for more than two hours hovered
around the same mark, giving no sign of
a rise.
Then, It began to climb until nt nnn ,-
temperature was 68. The prospects for a
few additional degrees aro bright, the
Weather Bureau said. '
The normal temperature for this dato
Is 70 degrees. Today's cold wave, how-
,cver. by no means breaks a record fnr
this d-to In other yenrs, for only In 1912
tho mercury sank to 63 degrees.
The wcuthcr here Is a result of a cold
wave that Is sweeping eastward from tho
Mississippi Valley and the Great Lakes.
A gentle breeze moving about 13 miles an

CONGRESSMAN RETICENT
Neither of the Vare brothers had read
tho speech of Ellhu Root, condemning In
visible, government, before the New York
Constitutional Convention at Albany,
when they were asked to comment on It
today,
State Senator Edwin II. Vare glanced
rapidly over a newspaper report of tho
address when It was shown to him and
then said ho wns In thorough accord
with Mr. Root, but Congressman William
S. Vare declined to comment until he had
opportunity later to read the entire ad
dress carefully.
"Of course I agree with Mr. Root," said
Senator Vare. "I do not belicvo In In
visible government for the people. I am
Just as much In favor of visible govern
ment as Mr. Root Is."
Senator Vare said that he had had nq
opportunity to read the address, but that
.-hSjnAe.ri3J,M0..BOv ivh-?ij Congressman
rvare Wan -aske'd to comment, ho said:
"I desire tolmake no statement until
I hve read the speech carefully."
He would not sayr whether or not he
j. agrees" with 'Mr, Root In his attack on
so-called Invisible government.
State Senator James P, McNIchol de
clined to comment on the speech in any
wny. He would not say whether or not
he had read It.
Lesser politicians without number who
were questioned as to whether they had
real Mr. Root's speech knew nothing
about It. They contended that Mr. Root
is a national figure and that anything he
had to say would not be of Interest to
I local politicians.

Rumors that George II. Rarlo will bo
asked to straighten out tho widespread
financial tanglo that followed tho failure
of tho First National Bank nt Uniontown
last January were circulated today In
this city. Tho Uniontown bank was di
rected by Joslah V. Thompson, reputed
to be one of the largest owners ot coal
lands In the world, nnd tho coltapso of
tho Institution resulted In numerous other
failures and receiverships.
Tho story that Mr. Karle has been
asked to take hold of tho situation foll
owed tho arrival In this city of a repre
sentative of Mr. Thompson nnd his
associates. This man now Is in tho city,
and it Is understood that ho has been In
consultation with Mr. Barle, or that ho
will be before night.
The main difficulty In the rehabilitation
of the Thompson finances,- it has been
said, has been tho antagonism to him
by tho so-called coal trust. Mr. Thomp
son was the head of n powerful group of
Independent coal land owners, nil of
whom were affected by the falluro of his
bank.
NEED JM.000,000.
It has been estimated that It would re
quire backing ot close to 20,000,000 to re
habilitate the bank and its allied activi
ties. Mr. Earlc, according to the reports,
has been asked to arrange for this either
by becoming receiver for the bank or
otherwise as he may see fit.
When the Thompson bank failed In
January It created a tremendous sensa
tion In financial circles. 'The bank "was"
the (list of the national group to ho put
on the Government's honor roll. It had
been looked upon as ono of the most solid
In the Country.
Various efforts at rehabilitation have
been made. A. Mitchell Palmer was In
Uniontown for a .time making efforts to
straighten things out. ns was Congress
man A. Washington Logiic, of this -city.
Numerous politicians up State are said to
have been hit by tho failure, among them
State .Senator -Crow.
No confirmation of tho rumor that Mr.
Earle had been asked to take hold could
be obtained this attcrnon. Mr. Earle was
not In his office at the Real Estate Trust
Building, but he was expected back later.
An associate of Mr. Earle admitted,
however, that a representative of Mr.
Johnson Is In tho city. He said that a
statement on the matter would be given
dut later in tho afternoon.
Man Rescued From Living Grave
, A man, who was buried beneath a wall
of earth while nt work in the bottom
of a ditch In Camden tills morning, had
a narrow escape from dcuUi, and owes
his life to several workmen; who went
to his rescue nnd dug him nut. Ho is

THE "WHY" OF BOSS RULE'S EVIL
RESULTS EXPLAINED BY ELIHU ROOT
In one of the most remarkable addreetet aver delivered before a
political body in the United State, Elihu Root, in the fulne of hi
intellectual power and ripened by an unrivaled experience in government,
municipal, State and national, yesterday before the New York Consti
tutional Convention, attacked "invisible government" and urged a return
to the people of the power vetted in them by the bravery and sacrifice
of their ancestors.
Hi word are not only filled with warning to hi own State and to
the nation, but they are of particular importance to Philadelphia at
thi time, when bossism and "invisible government" in their wont form
are engaged in a deiperate effort to recover control of the city and it
treasury.
Among hi most striking utterance Were the following:
"They call the system don't coin the phrase, I adopt it, because
it carrie it own meaning the system they call 'invisible government.'
For I don't remember how many yean, Mr, Conkling wa the supreme
ruler in this State the Governor did not count, Legitlature did not
count Comptroller and Secretarie of State and what not did not count.
It Wat, what Mr. Conkling said, and in a great outburst of public rage he
Wa pulled, down,
"When Mr, Piatt ruled he State nigh onto twenty year he
ruled it it Wa not the Governor, it Wa not the Legitlature, it wa not
any elected officer, it wa Mr. Piatt. And the Capitol wa not here it
wa at 49 Broadway, where Mr. Piatt and hi lieutenant held forth,
"It make no difference what name you give, whether you call it
fenton or Conkling or Cornell or Arthur or Piatt, or by the name 'of
men now living. The ruler of the State during the greater part of the
forty year of my acquaintance with the State Government ha not been
any man authorized by the Constitution or by the law, and, sir, there it
throughout the length and breadth of the Stale a deep and sullen and long
continued resentment at being governed thu by men not of .the people's
choosing.
'How i it about the boss? What doe the boss have to do?
"He ha to urge the appointment of a man whoie appointment will
consolidate hi power and preserve the organization. There has been
hardly a day for- the last sixteen year when I have not seen these two
principle come in conflict, , . .
"The invisible government proceed to build up ana maintain it
power by a reversal of the fundamental principle of good government,
which i that men should be selected to perform the duties of the office,
and to substitute the idea that men should be appointed'to office for tho
preservation and enhancement of the power of thi political leader.
"The one, the true one, look upon appointment to office with a
view to the service that can be given to the public. The other, the
false one, look upon appointment to office with view ito what can be
got out of it. ... ,..,..
"While million of men are fighting and dying for their countrie
aero the ocean, while government is become serious, sober, almost
alarming in its effects upon the happiness of all that are dearest to us,
it is our inestimable privilege to do something here in moving our beloved
State along the pathway toward better mnd purer government, a mora
pervasive morality mnd a more elfective exercise of the powers of govern,
ment which preserve the liberty of the psopU."

JOHN H. FOW
JOHN H. FOW, LAWYER,
POLITICIAN, UNIQUE
IN CITY ANNALS, DIES
Famous Character of Courts
and Corridors Passes Away.
Known Among His
Friends as "Ducky"
AN EXPERT ON OLD LAWS
John II. Fow, lawyer, politician, histor
ian and one of the unique personages of
tho city, died enrly today at his summer
home, at Spring Lake. N. J. His death
came ns a great shock to his friends In
this city.
Two weeks ngo Mr.ow suffered an at
tack of apoplexy, from which it was be
lieved ho had fully recovered. He was
able to mako dally trips to this city from
Spring Lake, but on Friday he becamo
seriously 111 and never rallied.
Ho is survived by his widow nnd three
sons. F. Carroll Fow, who Is in the City
Solicitor's offlce: J. Gordon Fow, In the
Electrical Bureau, and Franklin II, Fow,
who Is In school.
Tho body will bo brought to this city
as soon ns urrangements arwmade. In
terment will bo from his Philadelphia
home, probably on Thursday.
The death of Mr. Fow removes one of
tho city's most notablo characters. His
career wns somewhat stormy. A wldo
knowledge of affairs, legal, historical nnd
otherwise, often brought him into the
limelight, especially In tho courts.
In fact Mr. Fow became such a
fnmmar-fUtire-nbotU- Clt-1Inirthat"a
trip through any of tho corridors seemed
Incomplete unless Mr. Fow emerged from
one of the doors.
Hltirulvlce was frequently sought over
odd. points -of Jaw pertaining to charters
arid methods of organization nnd he
always seemed to have an ample supply
of knowledge at his finger tips.
DRAMATIC IN COURT.
Mr. Fqw had a habit of appearing like
a bolt from a clear sky In cases with
which It wns thought he would never
have tho slightest connection. Often,
too, his blustering manner nnd positive
assertions overawed the opposing attor
ney. Practices and systems which were
thought to be highly proper wero often
proved to bo entirely . wrong, unconsti
tutional and out of order by Mr. Fow.
The details of the old blue laws, and
other legal matters which would require
research by many attorneys were Btorcd
up by Mr, Fow, ready for uso at a mo
ment's notice. He seemed to have an
Intimate acquaintance with most Judges,
no matter which party elected them, and
always to have something confidential to
talk about nt the side bar.
Mr. Fow was a great hunter and his
exploits in that sport were usually her
alded, around City Hall. He gained tho
nlcnnamo of "Ducky" because of his
marksmanship In duck shooting. Ho al-

Work of Cleaning Out Debris
Will Consume at Least
Two or Three Days
HONOLULU. Aug. 31. Not a body was
found today In tho hull of tho United
States submarine F-l, raised yesterday,
which sunk Inst March off this port with
Lieutenant Edo nnd 21 men.
Neither did the naval men who raised
tho diver find any record left by Lieu
tenant Edo concerning the cause of tho
submnrlno disaster.
Tho submarine was brought to tho Bur
faco yesterday. The vessel was placed
In dry dock last night. It rested on Us
starboard side, and there were great holes
In tho bow nnd stern.
No traco of a body was discovered, but4
tho side of 'the hull was filled with debris.
This Is to bo searched for bodies, but tho
holes In tho Undersea boat allowed the
entranco of marine monsters, with which
I the Honolulu waters abound, and It Is
feared that the bodies of the F-4 victims
had been devoured by them.
Tho work of drydocklng was completed
nt 10:45 p. m. and squads of marines were
stationed about tho exposed hulk to keep
away curious sightseers. A string of
electric lights wns erected over the sub
marine, and laborers began scraping oft
masses ot mud and sand that had ad
hered to the sides.
Shortly after midnight a great jagged
holo was discovered In the bow. Power
ful HghtB were played through this aper
ture, disclosing thick layers of muck.
dead fish and all sorts of wreckago and'
debris.
Four naval officers -were let down
through the hole. With pocket search
lights ( they made their way carefully
through nil tho vessel's compartments.
They wero within tho hull for but a
short time, nnd when dragged out said
they saw nothing that looked like a
human body.
One officer hnzarded the guess that
corpses of tho submarine's sailors -washed
out ot the aperture while tho vessel .vu
bclpg-iu-wjighf ta.the flurXaceab.d-Bant,
in me uuiium oi reani narDor. 11 was
thought possible, however, that several
would be found beneath Ihe thlcjt coating
of mud and sand Inside tho hull.
Examination of the hull was suspended
at 2 a. m. and resumed shortly after day
break today. A hoist was erected above
tho submarlno and the work of cleaning
out the debris will begin at once. It Is
Ucxpccted that this will consume at least
two or three days.
MYSTERY IN CONDUCT
OF GERMAN STUDENT
AT THETNIVERSITY
Dr. Carl Jiencke, of Berlin,
Visited by Special Agent of
U. S. Department of Jus
tice Upon Complaint
PAPERS ALLEGED CAUSE
Mystery surrounds the actions of a
German student at tho University of
Pennsylvania which led to an Investiga
tion today by tho Federal Secret Ser
vice men. The young man, Dr. Carl
Jiencke, of Herlln, was visited early to
day In the State Hospital for the Insane

tho Federal representative to this city.

on tho floor of a dance hall at the Insti
tution that bore a resemblance to tho
fortifications nlong the Delaware Itlver,
and that thoso were forwarded to Wash
ington by Steward Schwartz, of the hos
pital. As a result, It was believed that
the Department of Justice, suspecting
that tho student was acting for tho Ger
man Government ns a Bpy, had ordered an
Investigation.
Special Agent Garbarlno, when asked
about the case, would say nothing further
than that he had made nn Investigation
after the department had received a com
plaint, and that Doctor Jiencke had not
been arrested. He said that the young
man bore nn excellent reputation and was
permitted to leave the Federal Ilulldlng
after he had given a satisfactory explana
tion of the matter he Jiad been UBked to
Investigate.
The special agent would not discuss tho
case further than to say that the student
had given a "satisfactory explanation"
and had not been arrested. He would not
