Council was to take definite action upon the matter of appropriating $500 to the defense fund of the people in the legal contest against the Lehigh Valley Coal Company. Another ac tion was in reference to the electric railway.

The only members who gathered in the council chamber were Hines, Dav is and snairer. ine aosentees were Kellar, McDonald and Beaver. Almost 200 people assembled around the coun cil room to listen to the deliberations. It is openly charged by some people that there was no quorum because cert ain members tearea tne issue, ine action, particularly that in reference to the defense fund, has simply been delayed. It will be considered the first time council manages to get to gether, and the members will have the opportunity of placing themselves on record as being for or against the corporation.

The little girl stood unnoticed, near the and while the fjrst car passed her silently without touching her, the second, a large gondola, struck her in the side and threw her under the wheels.

The entire train passed over her body from (he shoulder to the hip.

Will Name Full Ticket. New York, Sept. 12 The first two cessions of the Independence League, headed by William Randolph Hearst, were held in this city.

Temporary and permanent organizations were perfect ed, and amid much enthusiasm a lengthy platform setting forth the principles of the league was adopted. The convention declared positively in favor of the nomination of a lull ticket, and instructed the committee on resolutions to formulate a suitable reply to W. J. Connors and other dele gates to the Democratic state conven tion, who presented a memorial asking the Independence League to defer nominating a ticket until a conference could be had with the Democrats. A feature of the night session was demonstration following the men tion of Mr.

Hearst's name, which last ed half an hour. Mr. Hearst did not attend the s'sions. There was much disorder in the con vention when a motion to adjourn was made after the- routine business had been concluded. Many of the delegate: did not want to adjourn and protested, half a hundred or more clamoring for recognition, while JusT as many cried for adjournment.

The committee on resolutions and platform reported through Clarence Shearn, its chairmfn. Mr. Shearu wa cheered as "our next attorney gen eraL" The platform sets forth the fun damental idea of the league as intle pendent of rule or corporation control and of any party subject to these. It declares for "a free vote and an honest count," and demands "a re vision of the-present dishonest and complex election law, a simplified bal lot and a law providing for a recount in cases of fraud or mistakes." The recent life insurance scandal are referred to at some length, Gov ernor Higgins is denounced' for failure to reorganize the state department, and a new election of insurance conpanie is favored case the present official in the coming elections "maintain con trol through connivance of the insur anc department in underhand and il legal campaigning," District Attorney Jerome is attacked by name, as follows: "We express the disgust felt, by all good citizens over the failure of District Attorney Je rome to prosecute! criminally, regard less of their wealth or social position those guilty of insurance frauds." On the subject of public ownership the platform says: "The Independence League believes in th public owner-shin of public utilities that are natural monopolies. that no person or corporation is privileged to confiscate what rightfully belonrs to another.

-it stands for irreconcilable hostility to appropriations by corporations of fran chise values created by the community and belonging to the community. Re spect for local rights and home rules should authorize the enactment of statute empowering all cities to acquire and operate public necessities." In conclusion, the. platform snys "Honesty in public service, t'le rule or the majority, equality befor the law regard for the welfare of the whole people, independence in politics, op portunity in business, of government from the grip of eorptration control these are the principles lor which the Independence Lragne is pre pared to battle," Boy Shot and Killed By Watchman.
