Air. Keppelmun, In calling the conven
tion to order, made a brief address In
which he outlined what In his opinion
third-duns cities Rhnuld ask of the
legislature. "We need better legisla
tion." he said, "and the turn-out today
indicated that other municipalities are
Interested In the same object. I hope
the results of this meeting may prove
entirely satisfactory to our people as
well as j-oui s."
The committee on permanent organi
zation rt'poiied the folowinir, and they
were elected without opposition:
President. John II. Keppelman. of
Heading;; vice-presidents, J. H. Torrey,
Scranton, I!. J. Saltzman, Kile; A. A.
Cochran, of Chester; treasurer, Georre
C. KuKiiiun, of Bradford; secretaries,
W. m iSlnllenlieiger. of Altoona, and
Colonel II. II. Hummer, of Heading.
Mr. Keppelman, In taking; the chair,
thanked the convention for the honor
conferred and proceeded to business by
Introducing Dr. 1.. S. Kowe. lecturer on
municipal affairs of the I'nlverslty of
Pennsylvania. He spoke as follows:
1K. IIOWK'S K KM ARKS.
The present rouvenMon marks a new
euorh In the hinlory of municipal legisla
tion in this country. It means something
mote than a mere conference to consider
the legislative needs of cities of the third
class. It Is a step and an Important one
toward the recognition of the principles of
muuiepul home rule which has been)
fruitful of results In other :utes. No m il
ter what the ultimate outcome of the lu
liors of delegates may be, we have here a
iletinite uHsertlou uf the principles that
the communities are the primary und
most competent Judges as to the needs
botli us to the form of government aid
scope of activity, it requires no liecu
insight Into (he history of municipal leg
islation In this commouweulUt, especially
as regards the larger c it leu to convince
one that this principle has not received
anything like recognition. The classic in
stance, ,tf cuiii'sc, is in the government
fif the first class, but Hie same hus been
true to i greater or les extent of cities
of the second and third class. The pro'u
It.in we have before us Is to give to our
tuiiulclpuliUes a Ueltnllc place in the politi
cal system of lite stale, and to so frame
legislation us lo make it adaptable to
committees of vurlous sizes. All poliilcul
experieiii-e points to tile fact that lis
regards aovernmen'al organisation, tilt
needs of n ciiminuuiiy with a population
of lli.miu, und one with u population of
Imi.tmo are radically different. The suiiu
Is true of the methods of procedure In
the carrying out of municipal functiuris.
The suft gnunls lo be provided In the lat
ter case, owing to tne larger interests nt (
stuke, und the great dlrni-nliy uf curcful
supervision, must he fur mure minute und
carefully prescribed. Again in the scopo
of municipal activity, the problems In u
city with a population of luu.utm. cull for
additional powers und more complicate. I
muchinriy us well us nicer adjustment
ot the relations between municipal uuliior
llles tliuu Is the case in cities with u
pnpuhuion uf lii.tiw. The history of muni
cipal legislation In the I'liiied Slates, lis
well us In .lOurope, clearly shows til it
these necessities of legislation will de
mand rerun nit lull in spile of constitution 'I
iiinl other limitations. An excellent llus
It'Htii.n of this fact Is in the history of lo-i-al
und spend legislation In the fulled
S;utes und more especially in i'emisylva
1 1 in . 1
In spite of the manifest Intent of the
fiumcrs of the imporlHiit constitutional
umeudiuen's of ISit. lite courts have found
llicnnclves compelled by the very necessi
ties of tht case In recognize a right of
clusslticat ion. In many stales tills has
pructicully l ml I i lie. I the constitutional le
M t let Ions. In I'ennsylvuniii the suprenie
court, while recogiil'.lng such rights, lias
seen tit lo set a limit lo such classifica
tion ill making three classes the maxi
mum. -
CITI ICS !'' TIIK THIRD CLASS.
Tip leKlslaltire, in its wisdom, placed
nil idles with it population between lu.iejo
und tnu.mio In the third class; and then
proceeded to puss u geiierul law presciili
ing the organization and powers of all
cities of I inn class. The queKtloil here
uil.'es: In what way is it possible to
recunclliu ;e lite neeits of 'ltles of lip
third class of this method of lucorpora
lluii'.' The leglslaliite Is stopped from
inuking uny discrimination between cili -s
wiihin this cluss. The .olilleul. social nnd
uud ecoiiotiilc cundlltons existing wiln
those cities cull for a difference in gov
ernmental inai'hluery und met hods. It is
ut litis point that the Work of a conven
tion, such as this, may do invaluable ser
vice in contributing to a more vigorous
development In municipal institutions in
this commonwealth. The tlr.'t question
that ought to be considered is the ele
ments of a good city charier, and here
the experience of every city must be
carefully examined. Does the form of
government proposed in the ael of M.iv
23. l!W, meet with the needs of cities of
this class? Is a system which prescribes
legislative ami executive with veto iiow-e
the best form of government for a small
city with tin population of lu.imu or ju.mei.'
Is It neeeseary In such u (use to devise
a systev of ehe. ks and balances? Wo il.l
nol a much simpler form be closer har
mony with their very nature': Agulu, is
the procedure prescribed in :he execution
of niuniclpul ritiiclluns adapted lo the
needs of all cities? In how far are tlie
provisions of the uct of IDXs generally l
plicable to all cities of ihe third class?
These qileslluns will cnll for considerable
research and careful analysis, und upon
their decision will depend the form of
charter to be recommended for adoption
by the state legislature. One of three
methods is theoretically possible, but un
der the present system the last is the onlv
Immediute feasible plan. These methods
ure: Klrsl. io allow all cities to frume
their own charters; second, to further sub
divide the cities Into classes; third, to
prescribe a form of government so gen
eral In character as to make It reudily
adaptable to the needs of every city, no
matter what its size.
TUB FIRST METHOD.
Of the first method which has been
adopted by Missouri, California ami
Washington, public opinion in this com
monwealth Is probably not sufficiently ad
vanced. As to the second, the decision of
the supreme court In Ayars appeal, has
p'aced an unsurmountable barrier. The
broad plan, however, is one that might
reudilv be adopted and Is perhaps a step
toward the first. In ihin respect Hie ex
perience of Illinois and the very recent
tendency in New York legislature, are ex
tremely instructive. I'nUer such a system
the city may practically determine Its own
form of Kovertiment subject to state 1iivk
that merely prescribe the briefest outline.
The recent reports of the New York
commission on cities of the second and
third class all tend in that direction. If
the ultimate results of this convention
will be to furnish a permanent basis for
our municipal development, taking Into
consideration the questions here pro
pounded, its Influence will be felt beyond
tie borders of tbe state.
In conclusion Dr. Rowe stated that
the services of the University of Penn
sylvania, are at the disposal of cities)
of the third class, and that he would

The address of Dr. Howe was ureet

thanks was extended to him and espe
cially for the proffered assistance.

We have :i:MKMl and II ft pen policemen.
The prnisisltion he regarded as rldlcu

Mr. Klllott will have to be submitted to

to the rear of the train and the other
live men of the crew went aboard the
engine to keep warm. Tlmony step
ped out of the cab for a. moment and
he had hardly put his foot upon the
ground lief ure n teirlllr shock of an
explosion hurled him unconscious to
the earth. The shock of the explosion
shook Tully up at the end of the train
ami when he hud recovered his scat

KHZe.
The engine hud disappeared entirely
und half uf the truln of -ottl cars were
torn and twisted us if they had been in
a ci lllhlon. Of the men who were on
the engine at the time of the explosion
only pieces of tin n and mangled flesh
were visible. Tully went, to Tlmuny's
uld und, ufter resjorlnif him to con
sciousness, assisted him to the nearest
town, a mile away. ' The cause of the
explosion Is not known, and hs the en
gineer und fireman ure both dead, it
may never develop. All the men killed
lived at Freelund, this county.

was much complaint about the capacity
of the hall. It was 10.15 when Henutor-elet-t
Foraker called the convention to

crowded with Ohio congressmen and
other party leaders. Kx-Secretary

Victoria. I!. C. March 11. Letters
Just received from Japan by the Em
press of India relate In detail the excit
ing; Incidents of the recent revolution
In Corea. since which the klnfr has re
niained under the protection of the Rus
sian embassy, the government of the
country being; brought Into Russian
hands entirely, hands that are actively
hostile to the Japanese. The story of
the overthrow of the pro-Japanese rov
erntnent of Corea Is a terrible one.
On the nlirht of Feb. 10, having been
Informed that a plot ripening to rob
him of life and throne, the king- applied
to the Russian embassy for protection
and steps were taken by the police au
thorities of .Seoul, under Russlun mill
tury direction, to apprehend the mem.
hers or the Corea n cabinet. Three of
the ministers, Kim llong Chip, Yu Kll
Chun and Kim Vun Slk, were in consul
tation ut the cabinet office when the
police burst in upon them und arrested
them on the royul order.
They were then conducted to the en
trance of the police bureau there their
hunds were tied behind their backs and
hucklni? their necks with the police
swords began, no triul or even the pre
tense of one having- occurred.
Chun's head wus nearly severed from
his body. Chip's wound extended front
his neck several inches Into his shoul
ders. Slk was neatly decapitated. Then,
litivlnsr mutilated the bodies, after the
ancient and horrible Coreun custom
Run, the director general, ordered the
police to tie ropes to the hunds nnd
feet of the victims and draff the bodies
through the streets, taking care to pnss,
in the terrible procession, the homes
of euch of the dead. This was dune,
the bodies Were beaten on the way with
stones nnd chilis. The corpses, minus
the heads were llnally left for the In
spection of the populace.
The heads were illsnluyed on poles
and the public, who a few months be
fore had bowed before the dead lenders,
quickly pi ceiled to crush In the henils,
disembowel the bodies nnd eat of the
llesh torn from them.
The correspondent who relntes the
feurful sic-hts of the night, could not,
he says, remain to witness the closing
scenes of the frightful feast.

Senate I'nscut .Members at Will

Blackburn Counsels Peace
Frankfort. Ky.. March It All the
conilictlng elements In the senatorial
battle were utmost turned Into a blood
thirsty mob of senators, members of the
house and their adherents today. The
combatants came.far nearer the riot
ous precipice than they had done since
the deadlock. The house and the lob
bies were the scene of excitement which
needed only an overt act on the part of
the Republicans to provoke the use of
knives, revolvers and clubs.
The Republican house had unseated
Kaufmann In spite of Dunlap's with
drawal of his contest of the, seat and
refusal to qualify. Quick" with re
vengeful spirit, the Democratic sena
tors made good their threat to retali
ate, and unseuted Walton and James.
The Democrats of that house rushed
from the hull In a wild stampede ami
into the rotunda to break a quorum on
the vote on the report as amended.
Fifty-one Republicans, however, re
sponded to the roll call and Kaufmann
(Democrat) was unseated. In a minute
the wildest excitement prevailed all over
the state house. Senators huddled tog-ether
In the middle of the senate
chamber, while a mob crowded every
entrance. The Democratic senators
yelled their votes unseating; Senators
James and Walton (Republicans.) Three
minutes later a mob was at the door
of the house declaring; that James and
Walton should never go In there. In
the mob were several men with thelt
pistols In their hands standing at the
dour daring Republicans to attempt to
bring the two unseated senators
through.
15LACK BURN'S COUNSEL.
Senutor Blackburn was in the crowd
counselling coolness. The crowd was
mad when they learned that James hud
already slipped into the house and had
done so while they were unseating him
in the senate. Men nnd women rushed
from the building, and the chief of po
lice and a large body of patrolmen
were on hand, ready to interfere lu
cuse any overt act was committed.
Dunlap, the newly seated representa
tive, attempted to enter the house, but
was kept buck by the crowd ut the
door. The Republicans tried In vain to
Induce Walton, the unseuted Republi
can senator to brave the knives und
pistols uud force his way into the
house, but he refused to leave the sen
ate chamber. Doorkeeper Tyler (Dem
ocrat) and his deputies had stood guutd
at the joint assembly door for half an
hour before thut body met, pressing
back the surging;, how ling, hissing mob.
A light was nearly peelpltated when
Register of the Land Otlice Reynold
(Republican) demanded admittance,
lie uud Sergeant at Arms Hummers
were uhnut to lock horns, when Senator
OoelK'1 und others stepped in und Mr.
Reynolds was allowed to pass In. Pis
tols were brandished several times dur
ing the Incident.
When llnully the Semite was an
nounced at the door. Speaker Hlanford
refused to recognize it, saving the door
keepers usurped the authority of the
house In keeping out members entitled
to vote, inclining Dunlap and Walton.
A hot colloquy ensued between the
speaker and Senator Hronston. The
senator charged thut the speaker whs
tit tempting to usurp the powers of the
Joint assembly by electing Senator
(Iodic) presidentwhen through Senator
Salyers and others order wus restored.
VOTE ON SENATOR.
The chief clerk In calling; the tinmen
of Ihe members of the senate omitted
those or James and Walton, the two
Republican senators who had been tin
sen ted by the senate majority R few
minute before going- Into joint as
sembly. The clerk of the house. In
calling the roll of the house mem Iters
omitted to cull the name of Kaufman
(Democrul) who had been unsealed.
The roll rail showed t!0 members
present with two pairs. The roll was
then culled for a vote for senator. The
Republicans refused to vote. . The bal
lot resulted: Blackburn, fd; Carlisle,
lit; Bucktier. 1. No quorum voting, the
Joint assembly dissolved till noon to
morrow. After Ihe adjournment of this Joint
assembly, the crowd thinned out some
what, but many still remained and to
night feeling Is nt a high tension. It
Is believed Ihnt Mr. Dunlap, the newly
sen ted meinour of the house will refuse
to qualify.

Puterson, March It The Paterson
police have not uny clew to tile murder
er of Miss Mary Sullivan, tho music
teacher of this city. Captain Illlson
today said thut the clew which the
police followed up lust evening- In con
nection with the murder, was berren
of results, and that the police lire as
fur away from the murder at present
as they were the day after the crime
was committed.
Nleholuu Cole, the silk manufacturer,
who was arrested on Sunday evening
for assaulting Miss Lucy Van Riper on
the streets, within three blocks of the
scene of the Sullivan murder. Is serv
lug- out his sentence of thirty days in
the county Jail. This prevents) his re
