HITCHCOCK A WRECK
OF FORMER SELF
Fellow-PriSoners in Tombs Make
Life Miserable for Comic
Opera Star.

NEW YORK. June 6.-When, at noon
today, Raymond Hitchcock, the come
dian on trial on a charge of having
wronged sixteen-year-old Helen Won
Hagen appeared in the library Of the
Tombs prison for a conference with his
attorney on the question of securing
bail, he would not have been recognized
by his Broadway friends as the deDonair
comic opera star. Hitchcock was liter
ally a wreck, his hair was disheveled,
he needed a shave. and his nerve had
completely failed him.
The wireless system OF telephOning in
vogue in tie Tombs had apprised all the
regular boarders Of their distinguished
guest within fifteen n inutes after the
comedians arrival last evening and
throughout the night cries OF Come On

dian" made life niseTa ole for him
After the conference with his attor-
neys today, at which his new counsel
Max i. Steuer, went over the minutes
of HitchCOck's s former rial The come
dian retur- "a to his cell. where he was
seen by newspaper men Asked for

was come upon before the automo-
bills had even the slightest warn
ing,
Haven't we about reached that
point where the regulations can be
framed for all classes of vehicles
without regard for the fact that
some are propelled by engines while
the rest have horses in front switch
ing their tails? Are We still in the
Hayes Administration? Is the
farmer vote so powerful at the Dis
trict Building that we cannot con
slider the right use of the road and
nothing else beside?
1t would be good to answer as
we ought. 1t would be good to say
that hereafter the automob;list
shall not only have no privileges as
TO speed or use of road which are
denied TO the milk man or the
family carriage, but shall be subject
TO no special restrictions. Yet no
one can.
Probably more lives are exposed
to danger every twenty-four hours
through lack of lights on the rear
of wagons than through the extra
speed of horseless vehicles. But the
law does not meet that danger. On
the contrary, it requires conces-
sions of every wagon or carriage
which is power driven which the
very same vehicle would escape by
the simple device of hitching old
DObbin in front and waiting to be
pulled by him with ali his contri-
buttons to the dirt Of the streets,
his liability to run away, his sounds
and his suffering.

But until it is, the fewer auto
drivers who put out fheir search
lamps through regard for the
horses, the fewer rear-end collisions
