was also included in the program.
The day was taken up in meetings
of committees for the purpose of COM
plotting arrangements for the regular
sessions of the conference and in as
signing the incoming delegates to no.
tells and private residences. Those
who arrived last night and on early
morning trains spent the time in Wis
iting points of interest around Chatta-
nooga. Every tenth delegate was
seen carrying a camera, so that the
number of pictures which will be taken
away from the city can hardly be es-
timated. The loca reception COM
mittee gave two excursions up the
river for the delegates and their fam
flies. The missionary exhibit at Cen
tenary Methodist church attracts large
crowds of delegates during the day.

Senator Carmack did not spare the
liquor power and concerning the
charge that he had been suddenly con-
verted he admonished the governor
that, instead of being so concerned
about his conversion. that he look to
the salvation of his own soul. Sen
ator Carmack's throat had yielded to
treatment and he was in fine voice.
This county is Patterson's strong
hold in East Tennessee and especially
in upper East Tennessee. If he does
not carry Washington county he will
not carry a county in this section, but
the Carmack followers are very con-
fdent of success and from the indi-
cation today they have good reason
for the faith that is in them
Prohibition is very strong in this
section and is getting stronger every
day.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, April 21.-Mike
Shanley-the man who held up a po-

him out, who shot up the airship
American, and who has several notch
es in his gun-was shot and killed

to be arrested and, according to Shea,
made move for his pocket, when he
was shot.
Immediately after the shooting Ike

rived on the scene. He soaked his
handkerchief in the blood of the dead
man and to the crowd around de-
clared:
II will mix the blood of the man
who killed Mike with this"

Trial ofRaymOnd Hitchcock Ends
 In Sensational Way N PERJURY CHARGE ysyAADE
Hitchcock Secures Instant AcquittaI When Girl Witness Admits She Swore Falsely to Certain of
 Her Statements.

New York. March 16.-A sensational development occurred today in the trial or Raymond Hitchcock, the comedian when Justice Blanchard ordered the &C., quittal of the defendant in the in- dictment against him growing out of the charges of Ellen Von Hagen, a young girl. The action of the justice was taken upon the motion of the as- sistant district attorney, MT. Garvan, after Flora Winston, the prosecutlon's chief corroborating witness, had testi- lied that the story she told before the grand jury was false. Several other indictments on similar charges are still pending against Hitchcock.
 Flora Winston swore upon the wit ness stand that an agent of the Gerry society had frightened her into making the charges against Hitchcock. "He threatened to take me away from my home-to separate me from my mother If l did not tell that story" said the girl in sobbing voice when asked why she had made the charges against Hitchcock before the grand jury
 The girl said the only person to whom she had told the truth concern ing her relations with Hitchcock was her step-father It was after the step- father had been called to the witness stand, and testified that the girl had assured him that Hitchcock had never ill-treated her that MT. Garvan moved for the dismissal of the case.
 In directing the jury to return a verdict acAuitting Hitchcock on the Won Hagen indictment, Justice Blanch- ard said he regarded the testimony of hature. He suggested it be made the subject of thorough investigation by the district attorneys office.
 Flora Winston was arrested on Il charge of perjury as she was leaving the court room.
 It has not yet been determined what action will be taken on the remaining indictments against Hitchcock.
 Later the girl was arraigned in police court on a charge of perjury and held in $500 bail for examination tomorrow. In default of bail she was locked up in the Tombs.
 At the office of the Gerry society Superintendent Jenkins said that he had nothing to say concerning the charges made by the girl against one of the society's agents and that any statement regarding them must come from the district attorneys office.
 When the news of the story reach ed Broadway there was rejoicing among the actors, and lots of congratulatory messages were sent to Hitchcock and to the office of Henry W. Savage, his mana ger At MT. Savage's office it was said no definite arrangements had been made for Hitchcock's future, but that his company might be called togethe' : in the near future and with Hitchcock at it's head, resume it's tour.
