B v a Staff Correspondent
BOSTON, Sept. SQ.-tfovr that he has
won the National League pennant, Pat
Moran'a object will be from the present
llmo until the end of the season to keep
the Phillies on edco for the series with
the Red Sox. To bo sure, the local Amer
ican League club has not mathematically
clinched the flag yet. but will as soon as
tt wins one more game or Detroit loses.
H Moran said this morning that he would
go out to u raves i-ieia mis aiiernoon
lust as determined to win as he was yes
terday, for he realizes tna; the players
must keep going at top speed to be at
their best when tho world s series begins.
"I havo not mapped out any particular
plans for preliminary work for the world's
series," Bald the Philly leader, "but; I am
going to do what I can each day to see
that the players are In the best of con
dition when they begin against the Red
Sox.
"That series Is going to bo a hard one
and we must be at our best to give them
the battle that we expect to glvo them.
Tlitfrft riKAVml men nn mv nlnh that
tt' I will give a short rest because I think
they need Jt. Gavvy Cravath, who has
had a bad knee far some time, needs a
few days on the bench. Ills knee is all
right, but then the strain of thinking
that he might hurt himself has taken a
little of the edge off him and I want
him, of course, to be In the best physi
cal shape possible. Then there Is Ban
croft, who also needs to get out of tho
game a little while at least. I may give
Eddie Burns tome rest, too, and use
Jack A4ams behind the bat, but even
hese men. out you can be nssurcd
ve are going to play the best ball
11. at we are capable of so that -we may
not b caught off form as some clubs
have been In the past.
"You know that the Braves and the
Brooklyn Club are both anxious to fin
ish second, because that means some
thing to a manager even If he can't win
the pennant. Now, If they are playing
their best ball against us and we are
putting our best against them, you can
see. that we are not going to lose out
much In form In spite of the fact that
wo have won the pennant.
"All my pitchers are In pretty good
shape, and I will keep them working In
regular turn, just as I have been doing."
While Moran did not mention George
Whltted, it may be that his left fielder
f will also get some rest. whltted la
afraid that he fractured n rib In Brook
lyn Tuesday, when he fell In a vain at
tempt to cut off Gctz's home run In the
ninth inning. Mike Dee has plastered
Whltted up with tape, and lie was feel
ing fairly wellitras morning. He has not
hod the X-ray-tut on hlmjyet.
While Moran Is preparing his team for
the big series. Bill Carrlgan Is far from
Idle. He had Jack Barry ard a number
of his other players out to the game yes
terday afternoon with him. They were
doping out the Phillies' stylo of play,
from which they hoped to plan a definite
line of attack and defense.
Barry, who is considered" by Boston
fans, and by Carrlgan himself, as the
ablest baseball diagnostician on the club,
will be of great assistance to his man
ager. There Is not a wiser man in base
ball than Barry, and his value to the
Red Sox cannot be overestimated in tho
, came Itself and in regard to the advice
-he can give all the members of his club
Jti their world's series nlnv.
Barry Is a, great friend of Pat Moran.
am aeugniea mat 1'at has done so
remarked Barry after yesterday's
"You know that I always want
these New Englanders at the ton.
rP ' .dih one myself, and I Ilka to Hen thA
, v.hers come through, and, besides, I
have a high opinion of Pat Moran as a
man and as a baseball player. He has
made many ball players who are now
playing on other clubs. A lot of these
may not give Pat the credit, and few
people know what he really did for them,
but I know that he aided a lot of them,
and without his help they would be In
the minors today,"
Further than saying that he thought
all the Red Sox pitchers were in good
shape Barry would not comment on the
coming series. Like Connie Mack might
have said, Barry remarked, "Well, wo
haven't won the pennant yet; you never
can tell What will happen."

NEARING, LIVING NEAR
U. OF P., SAID TO LOOK
FOR REINSTATEMENT
Dismissed Teacher of Econom
ics Discusses His "Case"
With Radical
Professors
AWAIT TRUSTEE MEETING
University of Pennsylvania fctudents
continued their campaign for signatures
to the petition asking the trustees for the
reinstatement of Scott Nearlng, dismissed
assistant professor In the Wharton School,
with renewed hope today, when It be
came generally known that Nearlng had
taken apartments In the vicinity of tho
University, nnd that he had not given up
hopes of telng restored to his position In
tho Wharton School faculty.
Interest centres about the meeting of
the board of trustees on October 11, when
the .student committee, headed by John
Scott Lansllt, will seek a conference.
with the trustees with the purpose of
learning upon what grounds Nearlng
was dismissed.
This will be the first time In the history
of the University that such a move has
been undertaken by undergraduates.
There Is a great deal of fun poked at
tho young men and not a little trepida
tion on their part, the most frequently
heard comment being that they will be
summarily ejected from the presence of
tho trustees.
Kdgar Cope, the student who prepared
the petitions for Nearlng's reinstatement,
said that there was no way of knowing
hew many had signed, as the MO sheets
of which the petition consisted have not
all been brought In. He said that more
than 1500 had signed.
The faculty meeting next Tuesday Is
expected to develop a new phase of the
Nearlng case. Doctor Wltmer, head of
tho psychology department, Is expected
to lay before his fellow professors his
ideas In regard to what Btand should be
taken about the trustees' action In refus
ing to renew Nearlng's contract as a
teacher In splto of the Indorsement the
faculty gave the young economist.
The trustees are preparing a statement
on the Nearlng case, according to a pro
fessor In the Wharton School. "They
had better not make statements." he said.
"The chances are they will weaken their
already weak case."
A certain section of the student body
is averse to any further demonstration
of protest. Samuel McClure, a member
of LansIU's committee, Eald today that
Interest In the Nearlng case was "dying
down."
"I thlpk it would be better." ho said,
"to sacrifice Nearlng to the good of the
University. There has been too much
published about It already."

REFORMATORY INVOKED
WHEN SURGERY FAILS
Boy Sent to Glen Mills When
Operation Does Not Improve
His Conduct
The failure of modern surgery to trans
form 15-year old John Gosman, of 2023
Hurley street, from the "worst boy in
town to one of tho best," caused tho 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 a ten
dency to remain away from home And
school, underwent an operation at the
Philadelphia Hospital during the summer
of 13H for a depression of the scull. It
was thought that his habits were due
to brain pressure, which could bo 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
to the hospital end kept under observa
tion, but when the lad was discharged
,he remained at his home only a few days
and then ran away to go to Atlantic City.
While attempting to rob the house of
Policeman Patterson, of this city, at
Clcmenton, N, J., the lad was caught and
brought back to the House of Detention,
from which he escaped a few days later.
He was rearrested In Norrlstown yester
day. Judge MacNellle closely questioned the
lad's 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
pfftclals haye obtained many positions for
the boy, but he was always discharged
because of his fighting 'disposition and,
sometimes, becaus of dishonesty,

GREAT WINDSTORM
NOW IS HEADED FOR
TWO OTHER CITIES
Shroveport and Vicksburg in
Direct Path of West Indies
Hurricane That Wrecked
New Orleans
MANY DEATHS REPORTED
MOBILE, Ala,, Sept. 30. Tho 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 Vlcksburg, Miss., and Shrevo
port, La. The strength of the gale Is In
creasing. High winds ore reported at
points B0' miles Inland In southern Louisi
ana, with which communication was lost
early last night.
Recovering slowly from the terrific
shock of last night's tempest and hurri
cone, New Orlenns Is endeavoring to
make an estimate of the death and dam
age wrought by the wind and galo In the
two hours during which It was held In
the grip of one of the greatest atmos
pheric onslaughts that ever struck the
Louisiana coast. It 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 aro known to be dead and
about 150 Injured as tho result of the
hurrlcono thus far. The property loss is
estimated at more than $1,000,000, ut this
amount Is expected to be greatly In
creased when the full estimate Is an
nounced. Tho storm continues along the coast.
Latest reports state that Shrcveport, La.,
has been cut off from communication with
New Orleans and the Louisiana-Mississippi
coast district since 10 o'clock last
nignt, 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, nnd later ad
vices today arc expected to. add to the
list of fatalities at Shrevcport, already
reported at from five to ten.
Tho report, which was relayed to this
city from New Orleans by the steamships
Excelsior and Creole, stated that th.
wind blew at an average speed of more
than SO miles an hour, and nt times
reached a velocity of 150 miles. The storm
struck hardest between 6:30 and 7 p. m.
laBt evening.
When the hurricane hit New OrleanB
the electric light plant was damaged, and
the Now Orleans wireless station was
put out of commission.
"HELPING HAND SOCIETY"
LOSES APPEAL FOR CHARTER
Judge Sulzberger Doubts That Pur
pose Is "Social Improvement"
"The Helping Hand Society" was re
fused a charter today by Judge Sulz
berger in Court of Common Pleas No. 2,
because one meeting a year, In the
opinion of the court, did not warrant the

provement." "The public policy of the State," re
marked Judge Sulzberger, "Is not to be
aeieaiea or circumvented by mere astute
ness. Tho facts Indicate that the society
is substantially a mutual Insurance com
pany." Judge Sulzberger held that thn noli
of the Commonwealth Is to hold organiza

CARR WILL TARE
ACTIVE PART IN
REFORM BATTLE
Will Servo Valiantly in Rnnks,
But Cannot Undertake
Management of
Campaign
INDEPENDENTS PLEASED
George Wentworth Carr today Informed
leaders of the Independent forces that he
will pitch Into the light aRalnst tho con
tractor bosses and their candidates this
fail, and will help In every way ho can
to bring about the election of George D
Porter as Mayor nnd tho election of an
unbossed Councils.
For purely business reasons, however,
Mr. Carr Informed the other leaders of
the Independent hosts that he could not
accopt tho post of campaign manager,
which tve.ni effort has been made to
persuade him to accept.
Mr. Carr managed the Blankenburg
campaign In 1911 and has been ono of the
leaders of the Independents In every
campaign against tho Republican organi
zation since 1905.
Tho announcement that he will take an
active part In tho campaign of tho inde
pendents this year was hailed with de
light by the other Independent leaders,
as his experience In former campaigns
makes him a valuable asset In the Inde
pendent campaign.
In a. letter sent to the Public Servlco
Committee of One Hundred today, Mr.
Carr promised his active participation In
the campaign, and at the same time ex
plained why he was forced to decline the
post of campaign manager.
Tho independents today pre-empted the
title of Franklin party for many individ
ual election divisions In various parts of
tho city, The title for the county and
for each of tho 48 wards was pre-empted
yesterday. Pre-emption for the divisions
will probably not be general, but Is being
made In wards where thei Organization
absolutely controls tho election ma
chinery, and where the Independents,
without tho vehicle of the now party
name, cannot fight for the election of
their own assessors and other division
ofllce rs.
Before the end of the week a Franklin
party City Committee will be organized,
Franklin-Washington headquarters will
be opened In each of the 43 wards In the
city nnd the other moves to organize
thoroughly the Independent campaign
will be carried out.
Another meeting of the 2S0 pre-emptors
who signed tho papers filed with the
Prothonotary of the Courts taking the
title of the new party will be called
within n few days, It was announced by
tho Committee of Ono Hundred today,

POOLEY FURNITURE COMPANY
CASE HEARD BY COURT
Creditor Charges Discrimination in
Payment of Firm's Debts
Discrimination In tho payment of debts
and mismanagement of the business Is
charged against the creditors' commltteo
of the Pooley Furniture Company, which
went Into the hands of a receiver several
years ago, by George J. Do Armond, a
creditor, when tho suit of the new re
ceiver against the committee for an
accounting of J100.000 was heard today.
De Armond, who has a claim of $1931,
and at whose instigation the suit for a
new receiver was begun, declared that
the committee Increased tho debt of the
company by 1,000 Instead of reducing
the liabilities, as it was appointed to dp.
De Armond said that 50 per cent, of
new debt was paid off by Max Weinman,
the original receiver, by selling all the
assets that came Into his hands. Nothing
was paid on the original debt, amount
ing to $315,000, it is claimed.
De Armond Instituted suit In January
to havo another receiver appointed, and
the court named Sherman H. Burbank
as a corecelver, to Institute a Bult for
an accounting against the creditors' com
mittee. De Armond also charges that
the new debt created by the committee
benefited members of the committee, as
material for tho making of furniture was
bought from a member of the committee.
Tho creditors' committee which managed
the affairs of the company from January
1912 to February 1914, consisted of II, C.
Mlchener, president of the Bank of North
America; Charles H.sThompson and Max
Weinman, the original receiver.

has been on tho wire with Theodore N

chief that conditions were propitious for' '
the more difficult test. By wireless th
call then was sent to the Hawaiian Ma-

other oftlclal of the company there.
PLAN TO "RING UP" JAPAN.
Today officials of the Bell companies
and scientists throughout the country are
watching the efforts to reach Japan.
Delicate Instruments that co-ordinate
tho telephone and the wireless are being
tuned up by experts. They expect to
"ring up" the Japanese within a few
hours.
Tho transmission of the human voice
around the entire world by wireless
telephony was the prediction freely made
In scientific circles as a result of the
conversation with Honolulu. Now that
tho experiment has been successfully
demonstrated with 4600 miles between
the two parties to the conversation,
experts at the Navy Department declare
that only furjher perfection of the
apparatus Is necessary In order to "call
up" Japan, Siberia, Punta Arenas, or any
"number" no matter how remote.
But for the Interference of the war offi
cials say It would be possibte already to
talk between Arlington nnd the Eiffel
Tower, 1'ails. The experts for months
have been working for tho perfection of
a device to establish connection between
tho telephone wire and the wireless
ether. This now has been successfully
demonstrated us the conversation trans
mitted through the air from Arlington
yesterday originated In New York.
BOUNDLESS POSSIBILITIES.
"While the usefulness of wireless tele- '
phone communication In naval and mili
tary operations has yet to be demon
strated," Secretary Daniels said today,
"the Navy Department and Its officials
may well feel proud that they have been
Interested co-operation In the first prac
tical development of this last march In
the wonderful science of radio com
munication." Captain Bullard, chief of the navy's
radio, said the distance record of 4C00
miles promises almost unlimited possi
bilities of wireless telephony, and pre
dicted that a fleet of battleships will be
able to use wireless telephones Instead
of telegraph to communicate with cen
tral shore stations.
"The apparatus used In the long-dis
tance telephony across the continent Is
still In the Infancy of its development,"
said Captain Bullard. "The actual me
chanics are still being kept a secret."
