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."
Three Local Charities
Present Their Requests
The State Board of Public Charities
to-day began its hearings for Central
Pennsylvania charities which desire
recommendations for State appropri
ations and will be here for a couple
of days. Practically the whole central
part of the State Is affected and men
active in charities are here to present
their claims. The board will hardly
recommend any buildings, except for
State Institutions, and the other chari
ties will have to be content with rec
ommendations for maintenance, judg
ing from the way things look about
the Capitol.
Dr. H. L. Orth to-day presented the
State hospital requests, which aggre
gate $61,000, Including purchase of
land and extension of buildings. The
Harrisburg Hospital will present its
claims for $59,500 this afternoon and
the Polyclinic will ask for $63,500.
The Harrisburg Hospital asks for sums
to complete laboratories and other
matters, while the Polyclinic desires
to pay debts and to extend buildings.

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.

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.
Exports of grain and meats jumped
to practically unprecedented quanti
ties In September resulting in a great
improvement over August trade and a
substantial export balance, but the de
crease in the sale abroad of cotton and
manufactures result in a loss, com
pared with September, 1913, of 161,-
902,668.

girls of the upper classes who wish
will have ample chance to enroll by
the proper arrangement of the study
periods. The work will have to be

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.

political circles.

2.500 SUED FROM
- FRENCH STEIMER
I
Amiral Ganteaume Blown Up by
Mine Off Boulogne; War
ships to Rescue
By Associated Press
London. 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."

capes, 240 miles south of Scotland
lightship or approximately forty
miles south of Cape Henry.
The first news of heavy firing ofT
