The prosecutions begun are the outcome of the political upheaval In-Phil-adelphia in 1905 when Mayor Weaver quarreled with the Republican organization. The independent movement against the Republicans in Philadelphia that year spread throughout the Statd and led to the election as state treasurer of William H. Berry, a Democrat, on the fusion ticket. Berry took o’flee early in 1906, being the first democrat to occupy that position in twenty-five years. " Berry’s Charges Sustained. In the fall campaign of last year Berry startled the state by charging that according to the state treasury books the building and furnishings of the state capital had cost $31,000,000, and not $5,000,000, as had been generally believed, and that $9,000,000 of the money went to furnish the building. He charged that $5,000,000 of the $9,000,000 was pure “graft” Governor Pennypacker, other state officials, and the contractors denied the charges, but the agitation for an investigation which immediately began continued until the last legislature appointed a commission to investigate the whole affair, which showed a ‘state of things” in the way of graft.
