pany to the presidency at the organ
isation meeting.
Although no definite statement as
to what will be done this year can be
made until after the meeting of the
directors, it Is believed that renewals
of trackage, paving and new equip
ment will require the expenditure of
more than a hundred thousand dollars
during 1914.
One large expenditure is certain.
Derry street from Thirteenth to
Twenty-third street will be retracked
and repaved. Mr. Musser says the
old foundation is about worn out and
heavier tracks will be laid. The city
intends paving Derry street from
Eighteenth to Twenty-third street and
the traction company has decided to
put In new foundations, heavier tracks
and new paving along this street at
the same time.
Lines to Be Rebuilt
Contemplated paving jobs In Steel
ton will require the expenditure of
much money on the Steelton line.
Front, Second and probably Nine
teenth streets will be repaved and
these the traction company will have
to Improve with new paving between
the tracks. Tracks in South Third
street, between Chestnut and Mul
berry streets, will be taken up during
the year and every one of the streets
which the city plans to pave or rcpave
this year will require the traction com
pany to follow along with paving.
New cars will be purchased again,
but It la not yet decided how many
will be asked for. Anywhere from
three to ten are bought each year.
Last year seven were added to the
equipment.
Mr. Musser has succeeded H. D,
Wa'lbrldge, of New York, as president
and B. F. Meyers succeeds to the vice
presidency, vacated by Mr. Musser.
John O'Connell was re-elected secre
tary and treasurer.
A Quick, Sure Way to
Banish Hairy Growths
(Aids to Beauty)
Here Is a true hair-remover, and
no pain or Injury will follow its use:
With a little powdered delatone mix
enough water to make a stiff paste,
apply to hairy surface and after 2 or
3 minutes rub it off. With this paste
comes every trace of hair and when
the skin is washed to remove the re
maining delatone it will be soft and
clear and free from blemish. Except
ing In very stubborn cases, a single
application of delatone is sufficient.

OF STEAMER'S CHEW. FOR SUPREME COURT

mate, and three of the members of the
crew were brought ashore. The rev- t
enue cutter Itasca reached the scene
after the steamer went down. The'
commander of the cutter was sig
nalled from shore of the predicament
of the eighteen men, among whom Is
the captain, and the Itasca put to sea
to search for the missing men.
Life Savers Handicapped
There are two big sand bars near
the spot where the steamer went to
the bottom yesterday and the life
savers were seriously handicapped in
launching their boats. One was finally
launched but was upset and the life
lavers waded ashore.
The captain of the Tower and the
seventeen men took to a long boat. It
was so overcrowded that they were
afraid to try landing on the first bar
and hung around outside hoping the
turbulent sea would subside. Snow was
falling; it grew thicker about 3 a. m.
to-day and the long boat was lost
from view.
Could Not Use Oars
The weather lightened up again
about 4.30 and there was then no sign
of the long boat. When last seen the
men were so cold they could not use
the oars and therefore could not con
trol the craft. Unless found by the
revenue cutter or some steamer, it is
believed here all will perish.
It is possible that the men have
reached an inlet and landed or may
have been picked up by a life saving
crew along the coast. Wire communi
cation along the coast has been com
pletely prostrated since last Sunday's
great storm, and communication
among the life saving stations is diffi
cult and only accompanied after delay.
The self-balling lifeboat of the Bar
negatt Life Saving Station has been
out of commission for the last three
weeks waiting repairs, and the men
cannot therefore go in search of the
helpless long boat.
The Tower was owned by the South
ern Transportati< n Company, with
which Charles W. Morse, of New York,
Is identified. It Is said this was the
first trip of the steamer in six years
and that the crew was new to the
officers.
Three Boats On Ship
The captain ts Harold Murphy. Ac
cording to the crew, he edged in
toward shore because he did not care
to risk going on the bar and have the
boat pound to pieces. All hands were
ordered into the boats an hour before
the steamer sank. There were only
three boats on the ship and one was
used for the clothes and other per
sonal effects of the crew. This boat
came ashore to-day at Barnegat Inlet.
The members of the crew were vir
tually strangers to one another, they
being known to each other only as
"Mike," "Charlie," etc. The second
mate of the Tower is named Neaves
and his home is in Boston.
Thompson, mate of the Tower, after
he came ashore with a fragment of
the crew, talked about the ship. He
said the repairs to the machinery at
Hampton Roads on Wednesday were
hasty and not well done. The engines
went bad again soon after putting to
sea and this condition, combined with
hea\y seas, due to the storm, resulted
in the wreck. The ship sprang leaks
in bow and stern, he said, and in the
end all the plates were shaken loose.
V\ater poured into the doomed vessel
as through a sieve.
Punii>s Kept Going
The steam pumps kent her going for
a while. Then, with the aid of hand
pumps, the crew tried desperately to
fight back the inruehing water, but
their struggle was unavailing, and It
finally reached the engines.

BURLESQUE 019 WAIL
I Continued From First l'ageJ
W hat s this!" asked the reporters.
"Oh, this is the Democratic Wail!"
Here it is as Commissioner Bowman
issued it. It is a sort of a burlesque
on a mori,in!f newspaper editorial and
news # column criticism:
THE DEMOCRATIC WAIL
Aided by the Progressives we
forced a nonpartisan government
on our city, thinking we had two
chances to win. If we elected
two Council men we retained con
<'H| " r the city; if we did not,
the Republicans with the nonpar
tisan bugaboo staring tiiein in the
face would he afraid to displace
Democrats with Republicans.
With all our threats of pollt
leal destruction, supported by the
lies and inucudocs of our beloved
Patriot, the confounded Republi
cans refuse to scare.
The i>esky Republican trium
virate in Council are stinging us
wherever tliey can; they even
have the nerve to Invite our two
members, who are strictly non
partisan now, to a conference for
the purpose of having us execute
our own truly loyal patriots and
then bury our own dead.
Caesar with all his cruelty
never dared go so far as this.
A bright light is fast breaking
in on us, we sometimes believe It
is their outrageous intention to
break up our carefully prepared
organization and strengthen their
own.
Every time the word "Chlefy"
is mentioned, no matter to what
it refers we feel murderous and
get a dark brown taste in our
mouths.
Of course to ourselves we admit
that most of our policumen are
not strictly first class, but thev all
supported our Mayor, which over
balances anything they may have
done or are doing now, which if
done by Republicans would right
fully qualify (hem for a term In
"Castle Caldwell."
What does it matter if our Poor
Hoard turned out forty Republi
cans or that the York (Demo
cratic) nonpartisan Council is re
moving lis enemies from office
everybody knows that Democrats
are always better than Republi
cans and therefore turning them
out would very properly be for the
good of the service.
We feel sick at heart when we
think of what they are doing
now, but when our thoughts turn
to next November, when our
magnificent and generous boss or
rather leader is running for Gov
ernor, and what they will l»e able
to do us with their strengthened
organization, we could wail In
sorrow and gnash our teeth In
rage. For, If we lose the city our
leader may say, "Oh, ye of little
wit and courage, have I brought
you safely through the wilder
ness of constant defeat, Into the
promised land of Political Power,
where the honey (spelled with an
m) can be found wherever you
look, only to have you lose It all,
at the very time when I am hi
need of help."
The only thing left for us to do,
is to continue trying to fool the
public in our paper.' '

Committee Calls on Judge
Following the meeting of the Dau
phin county bar yesterday afternoon
the committee appointed to wait upon
President Judge Kunkel and acquaint
him with the action of the attorneys,
called upon the presiding Judge la
chambers.
Chairman Gilbert Informed the
Judge of the bar's action and pre
sented him with the resolution which,
as Chairman Gilbert put It. "was bril
liantly and unanimously carried."
In accepting President Judge Kun
kel said:
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of
the Bar:
The compliment contained In
the resolution which you have
presented me I fully appreciate,
■and I know comes from sincere
and true friends. During the past .
months I have been In receipt of
a number of communications not
only from residents of Dauphin
county, but from many other
parts of the State, offering their
support in case I should be a can
didate for the office of Justice of
the Supreme Court at the coming
election. It has been with great
interest also that I have noted the
frequent mention of my name by
the newspapers in connection with
so exalted and so responsible a
position. The ambition for pre
ferment Is a laudable one, and the
wish of loyal friends in so Impor
tant a matter ought not without
good reason to be disregarded.
In compliance with your request I
now submit mv candidacy «o the
electors of the State, with the as
surance that yon nnd all those de
siring mv elevation to this high
office will leave nothing undone
that zeal and honest effort can
accomplish to secure a full ex
pression of t'>e peonle of the
Commonwealth on this subject.
Entire Bar at Meeting
Dauphin county's entire bar except
those few perhaps, who were out of
the city or 111, attended the meeting
yesterday afternoon at which the reso
lutions were adopted calling upon
President Judge Kunkel to be a candi
iate for Justice of the Supreme Court.
Senior and Junior bar—a nonparti
san bar composed of Republican,
Democratic, Washington and Keystone
attorneys, and a visitor or two from
county bars—all were represented. A
dozen or more lawyers praised Judge
Kunkel's qualities for the position on
the Supreme bench. Among these was
James Scarlet, the famous Danville
attorney who has not only gained a
State-wide reputation for his conduct
of the Capitol graft trials, but who
haß an equal reputation throughout
the country.
I<yman D. Gilbert Presides
Lyman D. Gilbert was selected to
preside after Eugene Snyder, the dean
of practicing lawyers, had called the
meeting to order. Chairman Gilbert
appointed Attorneys John T, Brady,
John C. Nissley and Harvey E. Knupp,
secretaries.
Following the passage of the resolu
tion a committee consisting of Charles
C. Stroh, Charles 11. Bergner, Senator
John E. Fox and Chairman Gilbert
was appointed to wait upon President
Judge Kunkel in chambers and ac
quaint him of the bar's action. Chair
man Gilbert was authorized to appoint
an executive committee to plan and
advance the campaign of the president
judge. He announced that the per
sonnel of the body would not be Is
sued until he had given the make-up
consideration.
Court nomination shrdluetaois d 1 la
The resolution asking Judge Kunkel
to enter the race for the Supreme
Court nomination was offered by Mr.
Bergner. Splendid tributes to Judge
Kunkel were voiced by the various
members of the bar in seconding the
motion. Following are the speakers
and some of the expressions as to the
president judge's qualities and fitness
for elevation to the Supreme Court
bench:
Opinions Voiced
Charles H. Bericner —"George Kun
kel, I believe, is pre-eminently fitted
fctf this position. His elevation will
be a satisfaction to every member of
the bar. From him every litigant has
received complete Justice, and the man
ner In which he has conducted this
court has not only been to the satis
faction of his own conscience but to the
satisfaction of the lawyers Interested
whether they were on the side of the
victor or the vanquished. I Jinow of
no other jurist In Pennsylvania more
learned in the law, so far advanced
In his line of duty than is George Kun
kel. And, I believe, that his elevation j
to the Supreme bench of Pennsylvania
will be for the benefit of the State,
and the glory of the judiciary."
John A. Herman —"His Judicial abil
ity is widely known throughout the
State." I
llenjamin M. Rfcad "What he has'
done speaks for Itself. What he has
done reflects great honor upon this bar
throughout the State. He is «minent
ly fitted and in adopting this resolu- i
tion we are doing honor not only to
our own bar but to the other bars and
to the people of the State. His nomin
ation and election will be a great honor >
to the bar of Dauphin county and to;
the people of Pennsylvania. We'll be
sorry to lose Judge Kunkel; sorry to l
lose his ability; but his gain will be'
the gain and benefit of the State."
John Fox WeldN, ex-District Attorney
—"Judge Kunkel enjoys more than any |
other justice, not even excepting my I
honored father, Judge Weiss, the ab
solute confidence of this bar. He is
eminently fitted to sit upon the bench
of the Supreme court. He wouldn't
simply occupy a seat; he would assume
his full share of responsibilities. As
district attorney I sat here for seven
years and I soon learned to ijuage the
breadth and depth of Judge Kunkel.
So, in seconding the adoption of this
resolution, I say that Judge Kunkel Is
eminently qualified in everv way to go
from this bench to the higher position
—the bench of the Supreme court of
this Commonwealth."
John E. Eox—"lt is of high import
ance to our bar to have this compli
ment paid to Judge Kunkel. He Is
known from the Delaware to the west
ern confines of our Commonwealth,
from the northern to the southern
tier."
E. W. Jackson—"He is, in learning,
Judgment, training and character ex
ceptionally qualified for a position on
the Supreme bench. But, I say bluntly,
that I believe this bar would lose more
that it would gain by the elevation
of Judge Kunkel to the Supreme court."
Senator E. E. fleldlen-an—"l do not
need to extol Judge Kunkel's qualities
and virtues: we all know him. What
we wont to do is to take ofT our coats
and get out and tell the people of
Pennsylvania about it—to tell them
that he is the best Common Pleas
Judge In Pennsylvania to-day. And
when they say the other man is Just
as good, then be prepared to come back
at them and say the other Isn't as well
fitted, either by training or experience."
Jair en Scarlet, Danville "To my
mind the bar of Dauphin county Is con
ferring a great honor upon the people
of Pennsylvania by this action to-dav.
No man's work in this Commonwealth
is more widely known than Is Judge
Kunkel's. His unswerving fidelity to
duty, his great legal ability, his un
flinching courage lias made him known
to all. And I say to you that In nam
ing Judge Kunkel you name the win
ning candidate. But th«r* is work to

\Vllllaui M. Harvest, a»Hl»tniit ilrnnty

Judge Kunkel as a man and a lurist.
Judge Kunkel is a man who will give
to every man a square deal."
John C. Nlssley— "Judge Kunkel's
election will not only be great honor
to this bar and to the people of this
county, and to the people of the whole
State, but It will be still a greater hon
or to the Supreme Court."
Philip S. Moyer (for the Junior bar)
—"Speaking for the Junior bar I want
to add my voice to the general en
dorsement and express my appreciation
of the fitness of .Judge Kunkel for ele

great Jurist; his, a master mind. I feel

Aside from his qualifications as a man

three great qualities—honesty, courage

Captain George P. I.amb, the last
