A fragment from the Daily Tribune appears to discuss potential legislative action regarding the Quay senatorial seat before the current legislature adjourns. It hints at a possible internal probe and a move toward a definite conclusion on the matter.
In a Friday column John H. Fellows describes a confrontation between “The Tyrhune crowd” and Captain Molt. He notes Molt refused favors from the crowd and insists the Tribune remains loyal to Republican principles. The piece defends its stance and predicts continued newspaper growth despite opposition.
The piece argues that District Attorney Hathermes failed to reveal his duty to the commonwealth and that the public deserves full facts about Benater Quay’s case. It accuses leaders of bias, urges a fair trial, and notes concerns over political influence and timing before Manila revelations.
Speaker Fare ordered a committee to investigate bribery allegations raised by the Philadelphia Press. The panel includes two Republicans, two Democrats, and one nonpartisan member Kreps of Franklin and Voorhees of Philadelphia chart the Republican side while Skinner of Fulion and Tighe of Luserne represent Democrats. Koonts of Somerset is the pivotal fifth member watched by party leaders as they seek to expose attempts to influence house votes on the reconaid.
The McCarrell jury bill prompts a legally constituted inquiry as Speaker Farrie names tribune to lead an investigation. Charges appear aimed at shaping public opinion during the Quay trial, with the open inquiry promising to scrutinize all factions and figures, including Admiral Curvern who demands an open trial.
The piece criticizes Democratic leaders for short sightedness during wars, noting past failures to pursue peace terms, and arguing current leaders similarly hinder war aims and diplomacy. It laments party divisions amid Aguinaldo era tensions and laments calls for surrender while praising allied progress. It mentions Henry Johnson's congressional term ending Friday and Lady Carson of Chicago receiving honors.
The text opines on gift of freedom and labor payrolls, notes a $50,000,000 rise in New York savings deposits as a sign of prosperity, mentions a dozen homes destroyed by faulty wiring in New Orleans, and remarks that Roosevelt’s potential presidential boom is less plentiful now but may return with time.
The Washington's Birthday number quotes the Outlook urging proper provisioning of troops and humane treatment. It cites Trevylan's history of Continental commissariat and questions the excuses for poor food and unsanitary camps. A New York Sun item profiles Mrs Brudwell's charity entertaining factory girls to train refined social experience.
The article notes a Philippine law benefiting wives in property rights. It states that property brought into marriage remains with the wife unless deeded to the husband and that upon death, absent such deed, property passes to children and relatives, with wives retaining maiden names and children carrying both parents' names. It contrasts with the husband’s faded share, depicting a clear equity in the Philippines.
The Philadelphia Times recalls that the Superior Court of Pennsylvania began on July 1, 1795, as an experimental two appellate system with a junior court as a last resort.

Visitors are welcomed to the Globe Warehouse annual opening showcasing spring and summer dress fabrics. The event highlights new textile lines, special offers, and demonstrations of fabric selections for upcoming seasons. Local shoppers and designers attend to preview materials and consult staff on textile choices.
The three year record ending July first shows the creation of the Superior court relieved the overloaded Supreme court. Appeals to the Superior court rose from 42 to 46 percent, while the high court's load diminished. By last year, 13 appeals went to the Supreme court and 40 to the Superior court. The court now handles most appeals from lower courts, with limited transfers to the Supreme court for constitutional questions and occasional reviews. The document notes high performance, affirmations, reversals, and dissents, demonstrating the court's decisive role and public trust.
Fragmentary OCR rendering of a Rudyard Kipling inspired hymn lamenting forgetfulness and national pomp.
