PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 2S.-As the re-
suit of general riot which took place
among the members of an exclusive
colored dancing set last night at a.
soiree held at the assembly rooms, st.
Paul and Center streets, Lewis Blake,
colored, and Clarence Short, likewise of
dusky hue, two fashion plates, were ar
raigned before Justice Grammar this
morning at the central police station
upon charges of disorderly conduct.
Each paid So fine and walked out of
the courtroom with q smile upon his
face.
Short was dancing with the finest
looking lady in the place." when, in the
course of their waltz, the dusky belle
stepped upon the toe of Blake. The
latter would not have minded it SO
much had it been an airy, fairy, Lillian.
but when 200 pounds avoirdupois came
down upon his pet corn he let out a
howl and said divers unkindly things TO
the blushing dancer.
IL was incumbent upon Short, who is
tall, in his capacity of squire of danes,
to come to the aid of his fair partner,
which he did with a straight left to the
solar plexus, followed up with stiff
uppercut to the jaw, which rocked the
head of his uncomplimentary adversary.
That was enough to start things and
merry pitched battle between a dozen
combatants was in full swing when the
bluecoats swooped down upon the crowd
and led away the principals to dur

LUCK SAVES AUTOMOBILE
Party of Prominent Men Have Marrow
Escape in Car Near Holly
W0Od

Sheer good luck and the nerve of the
chauffeur saved party of automo-
bilists, among whom were Carter H.
Harrison, Tom Carey of Chicago, Fred
l.. Boruff and Albert Chappelle of Los
Angeles, from an awful death in an
auto accident Saturday on a thor
oughfare near the home of Paul de
Longpre at Hollywood.
The auto in which the party was
seated was running at rate of speed
not to exceed ten miles an hour. The
chauffeur of the huge machine had been
ordered to stop in front of the De Long
pre- home, as the party wished to look
over the grounds. The man at the
wheel of the auto had already Slackened
the speed and was gradually reducing
the rate in order to stop.
When the machine arrived at point
about three blocks east of the De Long
pre- residence the driver saw a storm
water drain under the street car tracks
upon which he was running. He put
on the emergency brake and when he
found that was of no avail he reversed
his engine; the speed slackened con-
siderably, but not enough to prevent
an accident and the heavily loaded
car plunged into the depression which
was nearly foot deep at that point.
Mr.. Carey was the most severely in
jured of the party; he sustained a
slight bruise on his left arm. The
rest of the party escaped unharmed.
The big touring car was overturned
and the steering wheel was wrecked
Otherwise it was not injured. There
are several more chuck holes of the
same description in the block in which
the accident happened

STOP MAYORS
SPEEDY AUTO
SAN FRANCISCo'S EXECUTIVE
BUMPS AGAINST LAW
Policemen Who Keep Check on Haste
Wagons Put In Appearance at
Embarrassing Moment--His
Chauffeur Summoned

If Mayor T.. y. Schmitz of San Fran
cisco ever had any intention of boost
ing" the use of motorcycles for the po'
lice of the northern city, undoubtedly
his ideas were radically changed
Mounted Officers Berchtold and Mo.
jonnier arrested the chauffeurs of two
driving cars In which Councilman
Houghton and Smith were riding.
According to reports in police circles
following the arrest, in the party were
Mayor Schmitz Mrs. Schmitz, Miss
Schmitz, Mr.. and Mrs. o. b. Tweit-
more, Mr. and Mrs. f. Graham and
Mrs. A. Rakoivenia, Mr.. and Mrs
Houghton and two unidentified parties
living in Los Angeles.
The little trip planned by the Los
Angeles councilman was rudely spoiled
by the innocent officers when just at
it's height. The party left the hotel in
three automobiles headed by a huge
machine in which DR.. Houghton and
several warm friends were riding.
Once outside of the business district
on South Main street the driver of the
first car is said to have leaned over
towards the doctor" and suggested
that his car could go faster but he had
heard that there were motorcycle po-
lice"
In response to the suggestion DR..
Houghton is said, to have told the
chauffeur with some indignation that
lie was a member of "the honorable city
council" and that the mayor of San
Francisco was in the second automo-
bile.
Burn Up Oil
"Chug, chug," in response, the ma
chine began to eat more of the Standard
oil fluid and go at more furious pace.
5. T. Smith at the helm of the leading
machine gave his gasoline buggy a
little more juice. F. Sigar, who was
driving Schmitz' machine, followed suit,
leaving the third death dealer" far in
the rear. asa
Back of barn on one of the cross
streets near South Main street were
Mojonnier and Berchtold. Victims had
been few and far between and when
they heard the exhausts of the haste
wagons they were delighted. Hardly
had their motorcycles got into motion
when the two buzz wagons filled with
joyous speed maniacs spurted past.
Mojonnier took the car bearing the
number of Cal. 1851 and Berchtold took
the car bearing the number Cal 4724.
The chase lasted for many blocks. Mo-
jonnier's speedometer registered 81 miles
an hour and Berchtold saw on the dial
of his speedometer % miles an hour.
Explanations Follow
Stop! You are under arrest" cried
the officers almost simultaneously. Ex-
plantations followed 1t was known that
the mounted officers do not pay much
attention to explanations" or to
threats either. They did not wish to
interfere with the party but Messrs
Smith and Sigar must appear in court
Just what was said the officers did
not say. When asked if Mayor Schmitz
was In the machine they answered that
they did not know him. But they did
know Alderman Houghton. Others that
saw the affair knew each and every
member in the party and were perfect
ly willing to tell about the affair.
Mayor Schmitz and his friends from
the north. saw the city but at a much
slower gait

REMOVES SHOES IN THEATER
Yiddsh Play at Milwaukee Play
house Results in Some Unique
Incidents
Special to The Herald.


MILWAUKE EE, Jan. 2S.-Customs OF
the orthodox Jews who composed to a
large extent the audience which wit
messed the Yiddish performance at the
Davidson theater last night, were re-
sponsible for many incidents unusual IN
a Milwaukee playhouse. One man sit
ting well down in the parquet removed
his shoes, evidently under the impress
sion that he was in "a holy place, and
many of the men wore their hats, fol-
lowing the rule which compels them TO
keep their heads covered in their syna-
gogue, until quietly asked by the ushers
TO remove them. 1t needed suggestion
from an usher also, to call the atten-
tion of the shoeless man to the fact
that he was expected to keep them on.
IN every way 1t was an unusual scene
which the audience of last night pre-
sented, the seats filled with people
eager for the opportunity of hearing a
drama given In their native tongue
forming a strange picture in which
there was something peculiarly pa
thetic.

GIRL WAKENS FROM LONG
TRANCE AT INTERVALS
DOCTOR DIAGNOSES CASE AS
ACUTE DELIRlUM
No Prophecy Can Be Made Regarding
Length Of Time Miss Parker May
Sleep and the Young Woman Is
Still In Danger

At intervals of several hours Miss
Frances Parker, daughter of Colonel
l.. c. Parker of Tucson, wakens from
the deep trance in which she has lain
for seventeen days and remains con-
scious for a few minutes.
A nurse at the Sisters hospital stated
last night that Miss Parker was some
what better, but was far from being
out of danger. The disease from which
the young woman has been suffering
was diagnosed by DR.. Brainerd, her
physician, as being acute delirium, and
he said that while the girl has a good
chance for recovery, yet her condition
Is most serious.
No prophecy has been made in regard
to the length of time Miss Parker may
remain in the trance or delirium, but if
she does not soon awaken it is feared
that she may die still asleep.
Miss Parker was first attacked by
the peculiar disease from which she is
now suffering at her home in Tucson,
Ariz. The symptoms which she ex-
hibited alarmed her parents and she
was sent to the Sisters hospital in
this city.
Specialists in diseases of the brain
have tried in vain to determine exact
ly the nature of the trouble, but thus
far no one has succeeded in doing so.
