This assertion vas mado by N, B. Kelly, general stcrctary of tho Chamber of Commcrco of this city, and Is based upon a telephone communication from a member of ho Philadelphia Convention Commlttco who dined last night with a member of tho Republican National Com mlttco in Washington. According to the statement, the mem ber of tho National Committee said that tho only thing needed to clinch tho con vention for Philadelphia was enthusiastic co-operation on tho part of citizens of this city to give momentum to the move ment, which has thus far been supported mainly by a comparatively small body of farsightcd business men. "All wo need now Is to pull together," Mr. Kelly said today. "We have the money, we have the support of powerful men, have the facilities to handle a gnat c invention, timl if uu can aiouso the people of this city to a realization of what this opportunity means to Phila delphia, we shall bo able to win out. "There Is every reason why Philadel phia should havo this convention. Wo havo a suitable convention hall, hotel ac commodations, everything to bo desired and wo have not had a Republican Na tional Convention since 1500. "Senator Penrose hns given me nssur anco that he will do his utmost In this light, and ho has authorized me to sign his name for $1000 toward the guarantee, fund. Other prominent business nnd pro fessional men who havo already mado large contributions have assured me that If Philadelphia docs not obtain tho con vention it shall not be because of a lack of funds. "What we must have now Is co-operation, municipal patriotism, enthusiasm, and a spirit o' 'pull together' and fight. We have everything else.

Both victims are nt the point of death in tho St. Agnes Hospital, but physicians say the woman has a slight chanco of recovery. The man Is Preston Powell, 41 years old, and tho woman Is his wife, Edna, said to be 21 years old, according to tho po lice. Powell has been In the employ of the John Wanamnker store for the last 25 years. Tho two were married on Au gust S3 of this year, and residents of tho neighborhood say that shortly after that time Mrs. Powell left her husband nnd went to Atlantic City. After returning she Is snld to have left her husband upon two other occasions. This Is believed to have been the hus band's motive In staging the double tragedy. When the firemen arrived at the house smoke was seen Issuing from a window of u room on the second floor. The door of the building was burst open and a dash was made to the second floor. In the room at tho front of the house the man was found lying upon the floor, halfway between a bed and the window. A revolver was clutched in his right hand. On the bed was a woman, clad In a nightgown. Iloth were In an uncon scious condition, the woman with a bul let wound In her temple. Firemen carried the pair to the first floor, while others devoted their attention to the flames. A patrol from the 20th and Federal streets station took the woman and began a mad dash for the hospital. At 18th and Morris streets the patrol dashed into an excavation and could not be extrlcnted. A call was sent to the 15th and Snjder avenue police station, and a second patrol soon arrived, but the first patrol had already been dis lodged and had completed the trip to the hospital. The man was taken to the St. Angnes Hospital In a wagon owned by the Mc Nichol Paving and Construction Com pany. At the hospital every effort was made to bring tho man and woman to con sciousness, hut It was said there was practically no chance of saving the man's life. Tho woman it was said, might possibly be saved by an operation. The police believe the man shot the woman, then set lire to the room, tele phoned an alarm of fire and then put the muzzle of the revolver in his mouth and tired. nXmrntuHmi't WHOLE NATION OF PROSPERITY Here to Stay, Say Presi dents of Six Great In surance Companies WAR ORDERS HELP EAST Encouraging Condition in tho West Nntural Reaction From Depression Period How Insurance Chiefs View Business Growth W.
