Slanderous Abuse Sharply Criticised Philadelphia, Oct. 27. The Rev. Dr. J. Gray Bolton, pastor of Hope Presbyterian Church, spoke of the po litical campaign in Pennsylvania in his eermon on Sunday and attracted wide attention. He did not mention par ties. officeholders or candidates, but made an earnest plea for a cessation of the "tired of misrepresentation and slanderous abuse" to which officehold ers and candidates for office were be ing subjected. "It Is not my purpose to enter into a discussion of the political situation.'" said Doctor Bolton. "It Is rather my desire to commend a different method of campaigning. It is not true, and will not be believed, that there is only one good man running for office and one good party seeking preferment be yond another. We are drifting Into a dangerous condition, which will make it difficult in future to find men willing to submit themselves to such a tirade of misrepresentation and slanderous abuse. "We must cease to tear down and ■begin to build up. It is the crying ne cessity of the day. There are thou sands now In office, from the Presi dent down, and millions out of office, I who have not bowed their knee to Baal, and are as anxious for this land to continue a Christian land as the Joud proclalmers of their own rtghteousness and condemners of other men's character."

VERY IMPHIT SI TO ELECTION Choice of Supreme Court Judge Involves Interests of Every Resident of State There is 1141 interesting side to the election ot next Tuesday that has not been given the public attention its Im portance warrants. The' voters at that time will be called upon to elect a State Supreme Court judge, who will serve for the term ot twenty-one years, or practically through the next generation. He. with his six asso ciates, will have power to say the last word in declaring laws constitutional, interpreting laws as written, and defin ing the rights and liabilities of all the people of Pennsylvania. Long after the administration of the next Governor has passed into history and the terms of the other officials to be elected have expired, this Supreme Court judjje will he deciding appeals involving lives, liberty and property. He will serve, in all probability, long after many now alive have passed away, and when those who are now children have grown to manhood and womanhood. It is therefore of importance that the voters choose a man for the place who is at once able, honest, tearless, beyond the reach of influence and of an age that will reasonably insure active work during the full period of his long career. Such a man, unquestionably, is Judge George Kunkel, of Dauphin county. That he is able Is shown by the fact that he has been reversed by the Supreme Court only three times in torty-six appeals. That he is honest in shown by the fact that list year, alter serving for ten years as judge on the Dauphin county bench, he was re-elected without a dissenting vote. That he is fearless is shown by the manner in which he conducted the Capitol graft cases, notwithstanding the influences of wealth and legal talent that were brought *0 bear for those under indictment. That he is beyond the reach of any Influence Is shown by his records in the Dauphin county courts In his decisions relating to the taxation of corporations, where in he has decided cases Involving mil lions upon millions of dollars for cor porations for State revenue. And finally, he is in the prime of life and will in all likelihood remain actively on the bench throughout the full term to which his friends are confident he will be elected next Tuesday. Mummers Urge Nearby Towns to Join in Big New Year Celebration The board of directors of the Mum mers' Association, arranging for a mammoth spectacle New Year's Day, met last evening in the Mayor's office and went over the by-laws and con stitution, which will be presented to the full membership of the associa tion at a meeting to-morrow evening.

Wars Effect Is Shown in Statistical Report Washington, Oct. 27.—War's con tinued effect on American commerce —a tremendous increase in the sale of food stuffs for foreign armies and a marked slump in exportation of cot ton, machinery and materials for use in manufacturing—was shown In de tail to-day by statistics compiled by the Department of Commerce.

CAM OF STATE ELEVEN ID CLASS PRESIDENT INJURED Both Men May Lose Eyesight at Result of Explosion Dur ing Celebration Special to The Telegraph State College, Pa,, Oct. 27.—Captain K. W. Toblft, of State College football eleven, and G. J. Saurlioff, of HadUon Heights, X. J., president of the sopho more class, were terribly burned liusi night by the explosion of five barrels of gasoline that was poured over a gigantic pile of ftrewook to celebrate the return of the team from Cam bridge. where it played the Harvard eleven to a tie last Saturday. Both men. It is feared, will lose their eye sight. They are in the Beliefonte Hos pital. So great was the force of the ex plosion that residences in all parts of the village were wrecked, windows of college buildings and fraternity houses were shattered and plaster fell from walls of houses, including that of Dr. E. E. Sparks, president of the college. Hundreds of spectators who circled the bonllre fifty feet away were knocked down. Many suffered injury from the living debris and in the stam pede that followed. Tobln and Saurhoff were standing side by side, twenty-tlve feet from the pile. I'nder Saurhoff's direction Tobln lighted a torch and threw It into the woodpile. Instantly there fol lowed the ignition of the fumes from the five barrels of gasoline which had been poured liberally over the mass of timber. .1.500 Panic Stricken Thirty-five hundred persons, assem bled on the drillgrounds near the armory, frantically struggled to escape from the heat and ilames that spread over the ground and leaped high Into the air. Telegraph poles, wagons, small build ings, boardwalks and fences were piled together all day long by more than 1,000 students, members of the freshman and sophomore classes. By nightfall their wood pile was larger than a three-story building. Late at night, after the wind had died down, the crowd collected for the ceremony and to Captutn Tobln was accorded the honor of applying the torch. Windows were broken in the new Carnegie Library, the electrical en gineering building and the armory. The beautiful memorial window in the Beta Theta fraternity house was de stroyed. The Ilames were seen many miles from State College. Wind and the Faces of Messrs. McCormick and Pinchot Start Panic The faces of Messrs. McCormick and Pinchot caused a little pyrotechnlcal display, a near-panic and a brief tie-up of traffic In Market street, near Third, about 9 o'clock last evening. It happen ed thus: The faces figured prominently on the Washington party banner that swung across Market street from headquar ters at No. 225. The streamer was harmless enough until the brisk winds started something. Suddenly a support gave way and the banner—with Messrs. McCormick and Pinchot hilariously standing upon their heads, as it were— slipped across the trolley wires. Nearby moving picture theaters were just emptying their hundreds into the street. Overhead the sliding banner was dangling on the wires and sending skyward shooting, spitting flashes and sparks. The crowds yelled and hustled to cover; some women screamed: a few rude men rursed; trolley cars and autos stopped; the wind thrashed and flapped the banner about with careless aban don. Finally some volunteers and a few regular workmen pulled the sign free of the wires. The spark-spitting ceased, the crowds breathed easier, cars and autos resumed the even tenor of their ways—and then the wind died away. ended another little flurry In political circles.

Oct. 26, 11.30 P. M.—lt Is officially announced that the channel sterner Queen rescued 2.500 passengers from the French steamer Amiral Gan teaume, blown up by a mine off Bou logne. An appeal has been made for help for the distressed people. When the steamer Queen left the scene of the accident the Amiral Ganteaume was still afloat and British destroyers were standing by. The mall boat Queen left Boulogne for Folkstone Monday afternoon. When still in sight of the French coast her captain saw volumes of smoke and the water spout up where imme diately before was an oncoming French vessel. A passenger on the Queen told the following story: "We made as speedily as possible to the damaged ship, which then ap peared to be going down by the bows. The refugees on board were terribly excited, swarming to the deck, climb ing Into the rtgglng and shouting in a piteous manner. They attempted to lower a boat, but the vessel was at such an acute angle that It swamped as soon as It touched the water. Rescuers at Work "A neighboring fishing smack came to the rescue and later two French torpedoboats came up. The Queen attempted to lower a boat, but, seeing the enormous number of people to be rescued, concluded that this course was useless. By carefully maneuver ing she got alongside and by strenuous exertions assisted In passing the refugees across to her own deck. The sea was choppy and both vessels were heaving, making the work extremely difficult. "Some of the returning members of the British Red Cross were aboard the Queen and rendered valuable assist ance. The whole of the refugees were transferred in forty mintues. A num ber accidents occurred during this process, thirty men and women being drowned or crushed between the ships. "One man was cut in half, another had a foot cut off and a third had both arms severed. Children were thrown wildly across by their agonized parents. Some were safely caught, but others missed and fell Into the sea and were drowned. Many men jumped into the sea and were rescued by the smack and the torpedoboats. Feared Capsizing "The effect of having 2,500 more souls on the Queen caused fears of overweighting the ship and capsizing her, so the rescued were forced below In such masses that It was impossible to get to the sufferers with medical aid. "The rescued were so pleased at their escape that they threw their arms around their rescuers and kissed them. One hundred and fifty Belgian soldiers were among the saved. "All the crew of the Ganteaume stuck to their ship and were doing all they possibly could to keep her afloat when the Queen left for Folkstone, where the Injured were taken ashore. The rest remained aboard the Queen. All the passengers on the Ganteaume. except a few soldiers, were refugees from Lille and Arras."
