AT HEAD OFLEVEENS
.SELIGMAN AHEAD WHEN THE
VOTES ARE COUNTED.
Hitch on Vice-President-Black Put Out
Because Excise Debate Arrange
ments Are Slow.

Before a large and enthusiastic
crowd. Benjamin Seligman. a leading
Democratic worker of the Second
Ward. was elected president of the
Leveen Democratic Association last
night. His opponent, Isaac Binder,
took defeat good-naturedly. The vote
was 144 to 119.
Following the election a dispute
aros over the selection of vice-presi-
dent to fill a vacancy, and prolonged
the meeting until after midnight. The
regular nominees were Elias Lustig
and Samuel Schoenberg, while Isaac
Charick announced that he would run
Independently. His action was con-
trary to h constitution, for while it
e not bar anyone from seeking
office independently, it provides that
all candidates must be nominated a
week in advance of their election. An
other clause in the constitution stated
that all votes for the suspension of
rules must be unanimous, and it was
not until several votes were taken
before a unanimous vote was secured
or the suspension of rules.
The other point, however, could not
be gained by Charick, and he was
strongly opposed by Morris Solomon,
his brother-in-law. S~choenberg then
withdrew from the race, for harmony,
and there was a feeling to name Lustig
as vice-president, but opposition was
raised, and on Binders motion the
question was laid on the table until the
next meeting.
The question of the debate on the
excise question was taken up after the
election, for when it was in order Ii
was apparent that there would be a
lengthy discussion. One of the mem
bers moved that the question be laid
on the table until after election, but
it met with bitter opposition, and II
was finally decided to leave it in the
hands of the campaign committee.
1t will be remembered G.. L.. Rosen-
feldt, the former president of the
Leveens, issued a challenge in behalf
of the association on his own respon-
sibility to debate on the Sunday ques-
ton, and Edward S. Black, a member
of the Good Templars, accepted, and
Rosenfeldt from time to time promised
to secure a speaker, N never fur
nished one. The date was originally
set for October 8, but by agreement
with Mr.. Black it was postponed until
the latter part of the month.
Mr.. Black visited the EVENING
STAR office today to make inquiries
about the debate and was informed by
a reporter that the Leveen's intended
to secure a speaker next week and tina
the debate would be- held before cleo
ton. II don't want the people t
think that I am backing out" said Mr.

NEW YORK, Oct. 11.-Miss Mari'

Twenty-ffth street. was murderousls
assaulted just before lawn today by
a man who is supposed to have planned
to murder her for the money she had
in her cash drawer.
Miss McCardle would undoubtedly
have been killed had she not drawn a
revolver and fired at her assailant,
frightening him off and then scream
ing, bringing several men to her aid
Miss McCardle, who is 26 years old
and lives at 1887 Seventeen street.
Brooklyn. has been in the employ of
the Rapid Transit Company for sew
eral years. Because of attacks on
young women who are employed in the
stations at night during the past few
months, she provided herself with a
revolver, which she kept in the drawer
with the money.
She was reading during the early
morning hours when a roughly dressed
man, whom she says she recognized as
Daniel Murphy, a former guard in the
employ of the company, who was dis
missed several months ago, looked
through the window. He asked for a
ticket, pushing a nickle into the win
dow. The ticket was given him and he
walked toward the platform. An in
slant later he broke through into the
ticket office and with anS iron bar gave
Miss McCardle a terrific blow on the
head.
Miss McCardle fired at him several
times, all the bullets going wild. Then,
womanlike. she began to cream. She
rushed to the stairs, and her screams
were answered by several men. One of
these t%elephoned to Brooklyn police
headquarters. and the police reserves
from the Fourth avenue and Fifth ave-
nue. stations were sen on a run to the
place.
Before the police came the man was
seen to leap down to the elevated
structure and make for the station at
Twentieth street. Before the police
got to Twentieth street he was on the
street and making off as fast as he
could.
Half a dozen policemen took up the
chase. Down Fifth avenue he sped to
Eighteenth street. Then he turned
over to Seventh avenue. where he was
overtaken by Policeman Hansen. The
man proved to be Murphy. At the
police station he did not attempt to
deny his guilt. He said he had no
home.
DR.. Spellman, from the Norwegian
Hospital, said that the wounds on Miss
M~cCardle's head were most serious.
Before the girl was put into the am
bulance Murphy was brought before
her, and she identified him as her as
sailant.

HANS WAGNER THE
GREATEST PLAYER
MANAGER CLARKE SAYS HE is
BEST INTHE WORLD
Pirate Magnate Willing to Back His
shortstop Against Any Man
Playing Ball and Wants
to Bet

PITTSBURG, Sept 7--Manager Fred
Clarke, the Pirates leader, who declares
that Hans Wagner, his famous short
stop, is the greatest all around baseball
player alive, and is willing to back Wag-
ner against any man in the world at the
games to be held in Cincinnati for $1,000 or
many times that amount for the all
around championship. The fans in Pitts
burg say that Wagner is the finest player
In any department ever seen in the
games, and besides the amount proffered
by Manager Clarke as wager, 1t is
said that thousands can be had to back
Wagner against any player in an all
around championship from Pittsburg
fans.
Manager Clarke said: Everywhere the
fans openly admit Wagner to be the
greatest shortstop in the world. There is
nothing like him as a shortstop, but that
is not ALL He is the best baseball player
who ever stood in shoes, and am willing
to bet a lot of money that he is what l
say he is.
.Talk about Lajoie or Chance! Why
they don't begin to class with this fellow,
and they know 1t. The appellation, King
of the Diamond belongs to Wagner by
all that is fair, and intend to see that
he gets what is coming to him. l will
wager $1,000 on Hans to beat any player
In the world In an all-around contest
Now, If there is any player in the
country who can command $1,000 or more,
which would suit us better and that play
er thinks he is the equal of Wagner in an
all-around contest, step up, and we will
bet him dizzy, and for the first time show
the world real champion.
''I might add that there are few fell
lows who can beat the German at first;
outside of that there is not department
In which he does not excel them all. Hans
will get all these runners in race at
second, beat them to third and come to
the plate breezing. The bet is open. l
await a taker, or intend to claim the
title for the modest German, If they
deslge a contest with him.

ETER CABS SOURCE
OF GRAFT ALL AROUND

Following the example Of the London
automobile cab companies "taximeter'
cabs are now being introduced into New
York. The advantage OF these vehicles Is
that they register the mileage Travelled
and the fare to be paid is SO much per
mile This obviates the necessity OF
auarreling with the cab chauffeurs over
the amount of fares.
Along with the introduction of the new
device comes an array Of tricks for
causing the mechanical contrivance to lie.
One method of doing this is to fix the
brake on the wheel to which the taxi
meter Is not attached. This leaves the
taximeter wheel free to spin on wet
streets and on grades while the vehicle
is making no progress. In this way the
contrivance registers up mileage that has
not been covered.
To obviate these difficulties there is al
ready talk of installing taximeter in
spectors, who shall examine cabs and
see that such frauds are not practiced.
The taximeter is only a mechanical de-
vice and the inspector Is only a weak
human being with a living to make, SO
the cab patrons are still in fair way
to pay more than the regulation rate per
mile, as they always have done.
