Raymond Hitchcock, the comedian,
came to an abrupt halt in the supreme
court Friday shortly after the open
ing Of the proceedings. On request
of Max E. Steuer, who had been re-
tanned to succeed Hitchcock's former

indictments growing out of charges
preferred by young girls, Justice Goff
granted an adjournment until Monday
to allow the attorney to familiarize
himself with the details Of the case.
The trial having technically begun
and Hitchcock having been surren-
dered by his bondsmen, Justice Golf

A BITTER POLITICAL FIGHT
STARTED IN THE CITY or
BRoTHERLY LOVE.
MATTER TAKEN INTO COURT
Warrants Issued for Mayors Secretary
and Secretary Of Law and Or
der Society on Criminal
Charges.

Philadelphia, Pa, June San action
which 1t is said presages one Of the
bitterest political fights that has been
witnessed in this city for long time
was taken here Thursday night by
State Senator James P. McNichol In
causing warrants to be issued for Max
Kaufman, until Thursday secretary to
Mayor Reyburn, and D. Clarence Glib
honey, secretary of the law and order
society, on criminal charges. The war
rants charge In the case OF Kaufman
perjury and in that OF Gibboney libel.
The issuing of the warrants fol-
lowed the holding Of Senator Nc
Nichol, the acknowledged Republican
organization leader, earlier In the day
on a charge of criminal libel pre-
ferred by Kaufman, who sought re-
dress because he was named by Nc
Nichol as the go-between who had
been paid $4,000 to induce Mr.. Glib
honey to make raids on disorderly
houses and gambling places In 1905
and so discredit the administration OF
the then mayor John Weaver.
Kaufman at the hearing Of Senator
McNichol took the witness stand and
denied categorically that there was
any truth In the statement that he
had received 100000 from McNichol
He denied that he had represented
himself as an agent Of Gibboney and
declared that the story was absolute
ly false In every particular.
Immediately after the hearing Mayor
Rayburn sent letter to Kaufman
notifying him that he was discharged
nom the position of secretary.
Hardly had 1T become known that
Kaufman had been dismissed by the
mayor than the announcement was
made that Senator McNichol had is
sued warrants for Kaufman and for
Glbboney, who had also been a witness
for Kaufman In the case against Nc
Nichol.
The warrant charging Kaufman
with perjury is based on testimony he
gave in denying the receipt of $4,000
from McNichol when on the witness
stand.
The warrant against Gibboney is
based on the publication of a letter
written by Gibboney and bearing upon
the conditions in this city. The war
rant charges that villifying and false
statements were made in substance
and to the effect that "the deponent
had aided or abetted in the commits
sion Of divers unlawful crimes and
misdemeanors and particularly that
hundreds of speak-easy proprietors,
white slave dealers, gamblers, policy
writer's and other criminals Of the
same sort who were arrested by the
said D. Clarence Gibboney,s with few
exceptions. were friends, allies and
tools Of the deponent."
Neither warrant was served, but as
in the case of McNichol the matter
was left to the attorneys to arrange a
suitable time for the hearings, which
1t Is said, will probably take place
Saturday. .S

EIGHT KILLED AND 20 INJURED
NEAR ANNAPOLIS.
Haad-on Collision on the Washington
Baltimore a Annapolis Elec-
trio Railroad.

Annapolis, Md, June Elm q head
on collision between two special cars
on the Washington. Baltimore & An
napolis Electric railroad shortly before
eight o'clock Friday night. eight per
sons were killed outright and q score
of others were seriously injured. some
of them perhaps fatally. The collision
was due to confusion Of orders. as
the line has been running several
extra cars each day in connection with
the commencement festivities at the
naval academy.
The disaster occurred just beyond
Camp Parole, which is the first station
after leaving this city Both the
wrecked cars were specials, one Of
them bound from Baltimore to An
napolIs, the other running from here
bound for Washington. The latter car
ried few passengers, while the other
was well filed. The impact was ter
rife and both cars we're wrecked, that
bound for this city being thrown from
the rails. As quickly as possible aid
was sent from here and the dead and
injured were brought to this city.
The wreck occurred on a curve
which prevented the motorman of the
cars seeing more than a short dis
lance ahead. 1t is said that the car
from Baltimore was ordered to wait
on the siding at Best's Gate, the sta
ton beyond Camp Parole, for the 9TH
err car to pass. Why these orders were
not carried out has not been ascer-
tanned.
The dead were laid beside the track
by those first on the scene and the in
jured were taken from the wreck as
rapidly as possible 1t was noted that
they all showed remarkable fortitude
and many of them insisted that others
be given first attention. They were
brought to the Emergency hospital
which was soon surrounded by crowd
Of anxious relatives and sympathizers.

Of iron about the engine room and fill

fated fire pit by mere moments
time. He had left the room where tie
explosion occurred not so seconds be-
fore the fatal blast. The admiral
stood In the engine room adjoining
the fire room with Chief Engineer
Robertson and Capt. Howard. His
FIRST intimation of the tragedy was as

ing from severe scalds.

directing him to prepare for the car
ing of the injured sailors. According
to the wireless dispatches, no officers
were injured. The damage to the
ship is not known at this time but II
