D. Ctarnnoo Olbboney occasioned surprise
In political circles today by Ming a petition
for ntmlnatlon on the Itopubllcan ticket
for tho office of district attorney. Olbboney
wss a candidate for this office once before,
but It wis not thought that he would try
stain this year as It Is the general belief
he retains enly a remnant of his once
numerous following.
In filing tho petition Olbboney Is seeking
ft place on the game ticket with Frederick
J. Shoyer, candidate for City Treasurer,
whom he bitterly opposed for the nomina
tion for District Attorney on the City party
ticket In 1909. , , ,
Tho contest was waged relentlessly l
supporters of both aspirants becnuso elec
tion of tho City party's candidate was con
sidered certain In view of tho overwhelming
victory over the Organization at the pre
vinn rlrrtinn. fjr. aibbonov was nomi
nated by the convention, but Shoyer
friends charged fraud so vehemently that
Mother convention was called
Olbboney was again nominated, but was
defoated at the polls by reason of the
return of Mayor Weaver to the organization
fold through chagraln ot the turndown of
Shoyer. Another limn Olbboney came with
in a few hundred votes of nomination for
the same ofTlce on the regu'ar Republican
ticket Many of his supporters at that
time still maintain that he win counted nut
MAY TRESS FIOIIT
Olbboney said that lie filed the petition
today In complalnce with the urging of a
number of friends. Ho said ho had not
7et decided whether ho would mako an
active campaign.
Up to three o'clock today only one ns
plrant for the Register of Wills nomina
tion on the Democratic Itckct had ap
peared. This Was JameH J. Green, of tho
Fifteenth Ward, who eencd under Michael
J. Ryan as an assistant city solicitor.
For a short time this afternoon there was
a rumor around City Hall that Registration
Commissioner Frederick J Shoyer, harmony
candidate for City Treasurer, would not
nter the fight. At tho last minute, how
ver, all speculation was settled by tho
arrival of Mr. Shoyer's petition.
Today Is the last day for tiling nomina
tion petitions for city and county oHIcch
City Hall corridors were thronged all day
with leaders and ward workers looking
after tho details of the petitions. From the
eomment of those who haunted the com
missioners' offices It was evident that work
ers expect a clean sweep for tho Organiza
tion slate on account of the peace confer
ences between tho McNtchoI and Vare
factions.
Magistrate Charles P. Rooney, a Penrose
MoNlchol man, and Frank W. Ncff and
Atkinson Costello, Vare men, will have the
support of both factions to succeed them
selvts. Former Magistrate William F.
Campbell, a McNIchol follower, was chr.sen
for the fourth place. In selecting Campbell,
the Organization leaders turned down
Magistrate William J. Tracy nnd Milton
Reldmeyer, who was tho Mayor's selection.
Congressman John R. K. Scott and John
F. Flaherty were brought together and
Scott agreed to support Flaherty fcT Select
Council from the Thirteenth Ward, and
Flaherty agreed that William II Jones, a
Vare man, will go back to the City Com
mittee from tho same wnrd.
Tho Fifth Wnrd situation was smoothed
ver by the Vares agreeing to support Mer
cantile Appraiser James A. Carey for Select
Council, under Carey's pledge to support
all Administration measures

Professor Easton was a man of many
Interests nnd a wide range of learning. Ho
combined all that wat meant by the old
fashioned term "scholar" with n keen un
derstanding of modern scienco nnd current
affair His literary interests ranged from
tho Hitopadeca and Maharabhata to Nick
Carter and Sherlock Holmes. Indeed, ho
was fond of taking complete relaxation from
problems of philology nnd pedngogy In a
boyls-h relish for adventure yarns and was
not averse to reading tho most melodra
matic shocker. He did not practice medi
cine, but kept abreast of all the discoveries
and devlccH of modern surgery. He was
a botanist of excellent quality.
"'Pop' Enston, aa ho was affectionately
known on the Penn campus," said a former
student, "was genuinely a savant, but never
a. pedant. Ilin culture was wide ranging,
nnd his knowledge profound, yet he wns al
ways tilmple In tastes, genial In manner and
helpful In teaching. He fuiniled the ideal
of 'a scholar and n gentleman.' "
