Mr. Fow, who was 64 years old, was born in Philadelphia and educated in the public schools. He was admitted to the bar in 1878. He took an active part in political affairs and soon be came a prominent figure in municipal and State politics, being a member of the Democratic State Committee tn 1882 and 1883.

Mr.' Fow was a type of the man ac tive in politics who is passing. He was shrewd in his plans and lightning quick In carrying them out, full of good natured fun. kind hearted and won and kept friends. Pennsv's 100,000 Men to Be Given Month of Military Training According to "Girard," a special writer on the Philadelphia Public Ledger, the Pennsylvania railroad will offer the United States government an army of 100,000 men needed for war. This writer says: "I have it from the highest Penn sylvania authorities that our country's greatest railroad is maturing a plan to let every employe take a month's va cation and go to a training camp for military instruction. The size of the army depends upon how many em ployes will accept this offer. If everybody went, the Pennsylva nia's legions would greatly outnumber the army which Meade commanded at Gettysburg. Why does a railroad go Into a thing like this? "Whatever Is best for the nation must in the end be the best for a railroad. * "A big reserve army for defense would be an insurance policy against trouble. The Pennsylvania, as every other business, must desire to see the United States keep out of China's class as a spineless whale or a helpless giant." Local • officials who would be in a position to know if plans were under way to ascertain the feeling among railroad employes as to' what they would do In case of war, were absent from the city to-day. Those In charge of the various departments refused to discuss the article. 10 PAGES SCORES ID SCORES OF PETITIONS IRE FIEED Prospective Candidates Make Last Hour Rush to Commis sioner's Office LENTZ HAS 3,000 NAMES Stamm, Keene and Enders Put in School Director Papers With the time limit for filing Fall primary petitions only a few hours away, prospective candidates made the usual, but nevertheless heartach ing rush to the county commissioners to-day to get in their party papers.
