POLICE HURRIEDLY CALLED
Mayor Weaver Leads Fight Against
the Street RaiIways-City Official
Arrested on Charge of
Fraud
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, June 13.-Amid the
cry of "thieves" and crooks" and un-
der the protection of police the council
committee on street railways today re-
ferred to the city solicitor for his opin-
ion as to their legality four bills repeal
ing ordinances granting street car COM
panies the right to use 110 miles of
street to lay tracks without the requir-
ing of any compensation for the fran
chises.
The meeting was in all respects as
sensational and as stormy as that held
by the committee on finance some
weeks ago when the gas lease was un-
der consideration.
The fight over the street car fran
chises promises to be warm one be-
fore it is finally ended. 1t is a contest
between the mayor and citizens living
in the territory through which the pro-
posed new lines are to run, on the one
hand, and the Philadelphia Rapid Tran
sit company backed by the Republican
organization, on the other.
Police Are Called
When the, councils adopted resolu-
tion withdrawing the gas lease bill,
four ordinances were introduced re-
pealing the street railway ordinances,
and today was set for a hearing on the
measures.
The committee room was crowded.
Select Councilman Thomas ]. Ryan,
the only Democratic member of select
council. suggested that the bills be sent
to the city solicitor for his opinion as
to their legality.
His suggestion was received with a
storm of Kisses. This made Mr.. Ryan
very angry and he spoke bitterly of the
disturbers6
Four members of the committee who
spoke against the repealers were called
thieves" and Crooks and so disor-
derly did the proceedings become that a
squad of police was hurriedly sum-
maintained.
After both sides had been heard the
committee, by a vote of Is to II referred
the bills to the city solicitor for an
opinion of them by noon Thursday.
Springs Big Sensation
The biggest political sensation since
the removal of Directors Smyth and
Costello was created today when May
or Weaver. through his counsel caused
the arrest of Select Councilmen Frank
H. Caven on charges OF conspiracy to
defraud the city. Caven was arraigned
before Magistrate Eisenbaum and held
in $4,000 bail for a further hearing on
Thursday.
The affidavit charges that Caven
while member of council committed
the offense of being interested directly
and indirectly in certain contracts for
furnishing supplies and material for the
use of the city. These supplies con-
sisted of sand and gravel which were
furnished to Daniel J. McNichol & Co
to be used in the filtration
beds.
State Senator James p. McNichol,
one Of the leaders of the republican or
ganization in this city, is member of
the contracting firm involved. Mr.. Ca
ven denies the charge.

the Murderer
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
ATHENS, June 13.-Theodore P. Del
yannis, the popular premier of Greece,
was stabbed and mortally wounded by
a professional gambler named Ghera-
karis at the main entrance of the cham
ber of deputies at p. m. today. The
premier died within three hours. The
assassin, who was Immediately arrested,
said he committed the deed in revenge
for the stringent measures taken by
Premier Delyannis against the gamb-
ling houses, all of which were recently
closed.
The premier arrived at tie entrance
of the chamber in a carriage. Ghera-
karis approached, saluted the premier
and opened the carriage door. The
premier was in the act of thanking
Gherakaris for his courtesy when the
gambler, plunged a long dagger in M
Delyannis' abdomen, inflicting fright
full wound.
The murderer was Immediately over
powered by the attendants. Medical
assistance was Immediately summoned
and the wounded man taken to a Red
Cross station where an operation was
performed in an effort to stop the in
ternal hemorrhage. This was unsuc-
cessful and Premier Delyannis died at
1880 o'clock.
Great Public Indignation
The news spread quickly and 1t would
be impossible to describe the popular
evidences of sorrow or the anger of
the crowds who attempted to lynch the
assassin. Lynching was prevented by
the gendarmes, who rushed their pris-
oner from the building to prison.
1t is estimated that 10000 persons
witnessed the removal of the body of
the premier from the Red Cross sta
ton to his late residence. Members of
the cabinet and of the chamber of de-
puties were among the crowd, many Of
them weeping.
The cabinet met this evening at the
residence of the president of the cham
ber and 1t was decided that the body
should lie in state in the chamber be-
fore interment.
King George. who 1t at Taoi, an
nounced that he would at once return
to Athens.
Investigation by the police show that
Gherakaris was recently liberated from
prison, having been sentenced to eight
cen years for the murder of his wife.

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, June 13.-
King Oscar, in long and vigorously
worded letter to the president of the
Norwegian storthing, M. Berner, de-
clares that the accession oath Of Nor
ways king makes 1t the kings duty
not to pass over in silence the prefer
ment of the Norwegian council of state
on the occasion of his majesty's veto
OF the consular bill
The king maintains that he did not
overstep his prerogatives under the
constitution and says that considera-
ton for the union imposes on the king
the duty of exercising his constitu-
tional rights.
The king of Norway" he adds,
must always bear in mind paragraph
1 of the Norwegian constitution, which
reads
The kingdom of Norway is free,
autonomous independent and endivis-
ible'
Il feel myself justified in demanding
respect for the decision taken by the
king of Norway in accordance with the
constitution. The powers which the
constitution place at the disposal of the
Norwegian king in order to enable
him to promote the welfare of the
country according to his convictions are
no greater than those which must be
reserved to the monarch united with
Sweden under one king"
Repudiates Declaration
After lengthily repudiating the
declaration of the council of state that
his vote was unconstitutional, because
no member of the council regarded
himself as being in position to coun-
tersign it, King Oscar proceeds:
zone of the fundamental principles
of the constitution and a fact that is
most important is that Norway shall
be a constitutional monarchy. 1t is
clearly Incompatible Herewith that the
| king sink to the position of a mere tool
in the hands of the state council.
''The Norwegian people and the Nor
wegian nation demand the right to
force the king to give a decision which
in his opinion conflicts with the duty as
monarch of the united kingdoms.
''It remains for Sweden and for me as
king of the union to decide whether the
attack by Norway on the existing union
shall lead to the legal dissolution of
that union.
LET the present generation and pos
terity judge between me and the Nor
wegian people"

he stamped his foot impotently and
was about to run back by the way be
had come when q voice spoke In the
shadows, and at the sound of that
voice the sword fell from the mans
hand and he reeled back as from a
blow.
"Rocca Zicani, the prince is waiting
for you"
The assassin staggered against the
door of a house and stood there as one
paralyzed. He had heard those words
once before in the dungeons of Naples.
They had been spoken by the inquisi-
tors who came to Italy with one Of the
Spanish princes. Instantly he recalled
the scene where first he had listened to
them-the dungeon draped in black, the
white hot irons which had scared his
flesh, the rack which had manned his
limbs, the masked men who had tor
tured him.
"Heavensw he moaned. "Not that

The priest stepped from the shadows
and stood in place where the feeble
light of an oil lamp could fall upon his
face. The laugh lowered still about his
lips. He regarded the trembling man
with a contempt he would not conceal.
Upon my word, Signor Rocca," he
exclaimed, this is poor welcome to
an old friendr'
The bravo, who had fallen" on his
knees. for he believed that trick had
again delivered him into the hands of
his old enemies, looked up at the words
and stared at the monk as at an appari-
ton.
"Santissimaw he cried. ct is the
Prince of Iseor'
The priest continued in the TESTERS
tone:
"As you say, old comrade, the Prince
of Iseo. Glory to God for the good for
tune which puts you in my path to-
night. Oh, you are very glad to see
me, Signor Rocca, I'll swear to that.
What, the fellow whom my hands
snatched from the rack in the house
of the Duke Of Naples-has he no word
for me? And he carries his naked
sword in his hand. He has the face
of a woman, and his knees tremble.
What means this?''
He had seemed to speak in jest, but
while the cowed man was still kneel-
ing before him he of a sudden kicked
the sword aside, and, STOPPING, he grip
ped the braro By the throat and drag
ged him from the shelter Of the porch
to the waters edge. AS iron were the
relentless hands. The mans eyes start
ed from his head. The very breath
seemed to be crushed out of him in the |
grip of the terrible priest.
