TThc theory of Incendiarism Is not held

Els no reason why any one should wish
to destroy the property.
The first alarm for the fire was sent In
at I o'clock by Policeman Herlock. Fire
men arriving a few minutes later sent in
two more alarms and most of Camden's
re fighting force responded. They founil
the interior of the second and third floor
ablaze and in somo places the flames hud
eaten into the first floor, which Is the
church auditorium.
Everything In the second and third
I floors was destroyed. Firemen fought
the blaze from tho tops of adjoining'

irt floor. Several of them narrowly

Georgo i'. Norrls, member of the Fed
eral Reserve Board and former Director
of tho Department of Wharves, Docks
and Ferries, at the grcrit independent
rally In the Academy of Music last night
sounded a clarion call to every citizen In
Philadelphia who wants real rapid tran
sit with a universal 3-cent fare to crush
tho Republican Organization and Its can
didates at tne polls next Tuesday.
With TOCO aroused citizens shouting
cries of defiance at the Organization, Mr.
Norrls, In thn words of a spectator,
"pulled tho mask from tho faces of the
Organization lenders and candidates, and
showed thehi to be bitter enemies of
transit." They profess to bo in favor of
transit.
Thomas B. Smith Is an enemy of tran
rlt, Mr. Norrls said, because Francis
Shunk Brown, who had Smith appointed
Public Service Commissioner In order to
give him a "certificate of character" hn-
t ore- ho was made- the- Organization can- -i
aiuato for Mayor, Is a trustco of tho Dur
ham estate, which owns a large block of
Union Traction stock. Charles Seger Is
tho other trustee, he pointed out.
Mr. Norrl nlso charged that John P.
Connelly. Organization candidate for City
Solicitor, has been receiving an annual
salary from the Philadelphia Itapld Tran
sit Company. Senator James P. McNlchoI
has b-en Identified with the P. R. T he
said, through contracts.
"If you elect an Organization Major nnd
Councils you will be delivering yourselves
bound and gagged, crated and tagged,
to tho mercies of the transit company,"
was the warning that Mr. Norrls cried to
every section of the clt.

PUBLIC SAFETY CHIEF
'IF SMITH IS ELECTED
Law and Order President May
Be Rewarded for His
"Plop" to the Or
ganization KNOWN AS GREAT RAIDER
D. Clarenco Glbboney for Director of
Public Safety nnd premier of Thomns B.
Smith's cnblnet.
This, with no more than the usual
amount of "Ifs," was the "dope" that
was accepted today with relish by many
Organization wiseacres, who said tho "If"
In Glbboney's case was bigger than tho
"It" In Smith's. If Smith was elected
the Low nnd Order Society's president
Would bo appointed to head tho Public
Safety Department.
The announcement that Glbboney had
formally gone over to the Organization
last week was declared to be the out
ward evidence that he had been prom
ised the post of chief executive of the
police, lira and allied bureaus If Smith
was elected.
Organization men said It would be a
wIho thing for Smith, If elected, to ap
point Glbboney. The more candid Or
ganization men said Glbboney stands for
morality in tho minds of thousands of
Phlladelphlans whose reading has been
limited, and that It would be a mighty
clever thins to hnvo middle-class mo
rality standing besldo tho helmsman of
the Organization ship.
Glbboney engraved himself on tho men
talities of thousands of honest folk by
a series of Tenderloin raids nnd assaults
on saloon licenses that became as much
his llfowork as the capture of evil post
cards became tho llfewoik of Anthony
Comstock. "Gib'll got you If you ain't
careful." was as muoh heard In the
Tenderloin as tho praise of his work was
in the average clean little two-story
house. "That man Glbboney Is a good
man, he has a call to do great things
and save our boys and girls," said many
a good mother,
Glbboney was at his bet In tho raids.
Then ho rose to the exultation of the
chivalry of tho chase. The clanging of
patrol bells would turn North 9th street

PENN COACHES PLAN
FOR BETTER OFFENSE
Rudimentary Drill Held This
Afternoon Kicking and
Passing Emphasized
The University of Pennsylvania football
team went back to first principles this
afternoon. The board of coaches thought
that the men neoded rudimentary In
struction more than anything else. There
fore they ordered an hour's preliminary
drill in such fundamentals as tackling,
charging and falling on the ball. All of
this was part of the preparation tho
coaches are making for Lafayette.
George H. Ilrooke varied things by giv
ing all the backfleld men an early drill
In kicking and. forwaid passing. This
consisted 'pt drop and plaoo kiakjng and
punting and every variety of forward
pass following this drill there )vas tho
usual signal practice, after which the
varsity and scrubs II nod up for a scrim
mage practice.
There was a conference of poaches this
afternoon at whleh the team's offense
was considered. The coaches reullze that
they have specialized longer ou tho de
fense than Is usual with them, but they
believe ft was necessary ou nccount of
the team's lack of defensive knowledue
Beginning tomorrow they will concen
trate on the attack nnd will teach a
number of new plays, which they hopo
to have perfected In time for the Dart
mouth and Michigan games.
Tho Quaker management Is making
preparations to tu,ko u big delegation of
undergraduates and alumni to lloslon

enough students agree to go, a special
