WRONGLY ACCUSED
C0NNOR DID NOT TAKE
CASH, AFTER ALL.
Mrs. Dalzell Was Sure He Did, but Later
Learns That Her Son Took
Money for Safe Keeping.

William Connor, ~ years old. who lives
at the Salvation Army lodging house, at 191
Washington street, was arrested yesterday
morning on suspicion Of having stolen sf2
from the home of Mrs. F. L. Dalzel of 445
North Fourth street.
Mrs. Dalzell informed the Fifth Precinct
station police that she had left the money
in handbook on a table in the dining
ROOM and that the only other person Ia
the house at the time was Connor who was
doing some work for her in the cellar.
When Conpor was taken to the station
house he was searched, but no money was
found on him. He was locked up, however
because Mrs. Dalzell was sure he was
guilty.
About z o'clock last night Mrs. Da1zell
called at the station house aud said that
her son had taken the money for safe
keeping. when he was leaving home in the
morning for New York. Mrs. Dalzell was
very much distressed over the matter and
begged Acting Sergeant Sites to let Con~
nor go, as she had accused him unjustly.
After her request was granted Mrs. Dali
zel gave Connor something for HE

HER SIST E RS
AGAINST
HER
Side With Raab Who Was
jailed for NOn.SuppOrt.
"Man in Case?'

Sisters argued against their sister in
the First Criminal Court today when
Adolph Raab of 90 Bergen street, was
brought before Judge Howell on the re-
quest of his wife, Lizzie Raab, who had
him committed to the penitentiary for
non-support.
Raab maintained that it was not a
case of non-support, but that there was
another man in the case" with whom
his wife was on friendly relations. Mrs.
Raab denied this, but her sisters, Mrs.
Lena Hedrick, of 269 FreIinghuysen
avenue, and Mrs. Louisa Volz, of Rose
street and Badger avenue, took sides
with the husband. and one brought for
ward a receipt showing that Raab had
contributed to his wife's support. They
also maintained that Raab's wife, their
sister had admitted being out with the
other man whom Raab names in his
charges.
Court Officer Eckerlein arrested Raab
on two occasions on charges of neglect
preferred by his wife. On January 2
Raab was arrested, and in default of
$500 bonds to insure the support of his
wife was committed 10 the penitentlary.
Mrs. Raab was willing to give her
husband another chance, but refused to
live with hHf.

POOR PATIENTS
NOT REFUSED
AT HOSPITAL
Health Officer Explains
AImshOuse Agreement--A
to Buryiug the Dead.

Health officer David d. Chandler
stated today that he had learned that
Alderman Elmer A. Day, chairman of
the poor and aims committee of the
Common Council, was under the i'm
preston that the Board of Health did
not care to have the sick inmates of
the a1mshouse treated at the City Hos
pital, and said that this was wrong, as
a patient had never been refused.
As was told in yesterdays EVEN
ING STAR, there was a conference be-
tween Alderman Day, City Attorney
Child and Superintendent McDougal
of the Bureau of Associated Charities
on the care of the poor, and Mr.. Me
Dougal suggested that a nurse be kept
at the almshouse. Mr.. Child pointed
out that the City Hospital was the
place for the sick, and then it is under
stood that it was said that the hospi-
tai authorities would not receive
patients from the almshouse.
Health officer Chandler declared to-
day that there had been an arrange
ment made between the poor and aims
committee and the Board of Health by
which all sick persons at the almshouse
would be received at the City Hospital,
and the sick at the hospital who had no
homes were to be received at the poor
house, on recommendation of the Board
of Health.
1t is understood that the order issued
yesterday after the conference to have
only two adult bodies taken to the
burial ground in. the one wagon was
due to the fact that the bodies in the
past had been handled roughly, and
Mr.. Day declared that il any under
taker was found whose men did not
pay due respect to the dead that un-
dertaker would not be allowed to bid
again.
At the conference yesterday it was
also suggested that a minister or Cath
olic priest be asked to officiate at the
burial of the dead in potter's field, the
deceased's religious faith to be taken
into consideration as to the one to Of
ficlate. 1t was learned today that
those who profess Catholicity are not
buried in potter's field, the Rt. Rev.
Bishop O'Connor having provided for
their burial in the Cemetery of the
Holy Sepulchre. Bishop O'Connor as
signed Father Lukas, o. S. B.. of st.
Mary's Abbey, to visit the inmates of
the almshouse. and when any of his
people die there they are taken to the
Holy Sepulchre Cemetery after service
in church or at the almshouse chapel.
Ministers of all denominations visit
the almshouse frequently and answer
sick calls at all times, and number
today expressed their willingness to Of
ficiate at the grave.
The Rev. DR.. e. A. Wasson, pastor
of ST. Stephens Episcopal Church, to-
day declared that he would gladly of
flciate at such services when called
upon, and in talking of the plan to
attach a small remuneration to the
duties he thought he was voicing the
sentiment of ministers of all denomi-
nations when he said that not one
could be found who would accept a
monetary copsideration for attending
the burial of the poor

COLD, BUT CHEER UP
IT'LL BE WARM AGAIN IN
A FEW DAYS.
At Least So the Weather Man Says
In the Meantime, Zero
Weather.

Get out your heaviest overcoats and
earlaps and shovel ON the coal for by
this evening zero weather will be
floating along this way in such plenti-
full chunks that the hot toddies and
other soothing and succulent liquids
will have to be called into play IL you
like 'em.
The weather bureau experts at the
High School displayed the cold weather
flag today and that settles It. 1t Is
certainly coming and before morning
you will hear the ice freezing--that Is.
If you sit up and listen sharp enough.
This promised cold wave is but the
remnant of the baby blizzard which
came along here some days ago and It
is going to come from the northwest
AS far as the beautiful snow" affair
is concerned it has quit for the time
being, if the rapidly rising barometer
is to be believed.
But perhaps the best tip that the
Weather Bureau has handed out to the
weather players is that right after the cold
wave we'll have a nice warm spell, Just
like spring again. OF course this does
not mean you are TO order your summer
clothes or patch up the holes in your
bathing suit, but Professor Wiener, OF the
High School bureau, is really and truly
sure that February is coming into our
midst in mild form OF course this will
not be good news for the makers, save
those who make the artificial kind But
in the meantime be careful and don't go
out in your linen duster during this cold
spell The undortakers are not over care
full who they pick up these days. So
there!

TO GUARD STATE
BILL TO FORCE RAILROADS
TO PAY ASSESSMENTS.
Attorney-General to Prepare Bill Pro-
viding for Payment on Second
Glass Property Ratables.

TRENTON,J Jan. 29.-In order to avoid
probable suits between the State and
the railroads, Attorney General McCar-
ter will prepare a bin which will compel
the railroads to pay their assessments
on second-class property.
Under a recent decision of the Court
of Errors and Appeals. the tax act of
1906 was declared invalid. 1t calls for
the assessing of second-class railroad
property by local assessors. Under the
courts decision the assessments were
to be made by the State. In the mean
time some of the property had been as
sessed by the local assessors, and at a
higher figure than that placed on the
property by the State Board of Asses
sors. The railroads demurred. and in
some cases refused to pay the increase,
hence the proposed bill.

Suggestions of Negligence
Also at COrOner'S
Inquest.
BOX OFFICE BLOCKED EXIT
Owner Testifies That Inspector
Passed Building After He Had
Secured Contract for Fire
Escapes for Friend.-No
Aisles Along Walls.

BOYERTOWN, Pa, Jan. 29.-Sugges-
tons of graft and admissions of neg
lect, which, it is intimated, may re-
suit in prosecutions, marked the open
ing session of the coroner's inquest
here yesterday into the horror at
Rhoads's Opera House on January 13,
when 169 persons lost their lives.
1t was brought out that the main
exit to the hall was blocked by the
box office, and that the point of exit
and entrance was but three feet one
inch in width, and that Harry Fisher,
the operator of the stereopticon appar-
atus, had received but two days in
struction in the methods of handling
the calcium light, and that he operated
the machine in public for the first time
on that fatal night
In addition to this DIR. Thomas A.
Rhoads, the owner of the building, de-
clared that it had been inspected and
passed by a State factory inspector
after he had given contract for fire
escapes to a Reading man." He added
in reply to a pointed question put by
District Attorney Dunn, that the fac
tory inspector told him who he should
buy his fire escapes from, that he placed
the order with the Reading contractor,
and that the Inspector passed the build
ing.
The lessee of the opera house, C.
Mauger, of Pottstown, who admitted he
did not know the location of the fire
escapes on the building, said that he
never saw the factory inspector, but
had been told his name was Bechtel.
IT was learned from his testimony
that there were no aisles along the
walls and only two narrow aisles to
separate the seats into three divisions,
and that the chairs in the outside sec
tions were not fastened to the floor,
so that they probably fell and caused
many to stumble and fall in their ush
TO get out of the building, Mauger ad
mitted there were no red lights to
show where the fire exits were and that
no doors through which to reach the
fire escapes had been cut in the wall
John Sheeler, who built the opera
house, gave testimony which showed
that the platforms of the fire escapes
were above the floor of the building
and that the stairway was only three
feet one inch in width. DIR. Rhoads,
in this connection, said he had never
been told by the factory inspector to
widen the stairway or exit.

GUARD BRITISH
KING FROM
WOMEN
SuffragiSts Menace English
Parliament at TOday'S
Opening.

LONDON, Jan. 29-That most rare
event Of a London winter, clear and
sunny day, favored the royal procession
to Westminster today, where King Ed
ward opened Parliament with the Same
ceremonies that have been observed for
centuries.
King Edward and Queen Alexandra
rode from Buckingham palace to the
houses of Parliament in a gilded coach
of state, drawn by eight white horses.
They were attended by the officials of
their household in other state carriages
and on horseback.
A thousand officials, many of them
attired in uniform or robes of state,
filled the chamber of the lords, when a
fanfare Of trumpets at Q o'clock an
nounced the entry of the state pro-
cession.
The menace of an outbreak on the
part of the women suffragists of Eng
land gave an unusual interest to the
formal proceedings today. Greater pre-
cautions could not have been taken If
an anarchist uprising had been feared.
The only women admitted to the gal
leries of Parliament were those for
whom members vouched in writing as
their wives or relatives and the police
who were on duty around Westminster
and through the houses of Parliament
were instructed to keep especial watch
over all women.
After a short adjournment the House
of Commons resumed it's sitting and
to deal with the business Of
the session. The Nationalists were
given an early opportunity to show
activity The presentation to the
House of the notification from the
Judge who sentenced Laurence Ginnell,
member for Che North Divl-
sion Of Westmeath, to six months inn
for contempt of court at
hearing in connection with the cattle
driving trials. was received by cries of
shame" from the Irishmen and brought
John f. Redmond, the Irish leader, to
his feet Mr. Redmond moved the APP
pontment of committee TO see if this
case demanded further attention from
the House The speaker however, ruled
the motion out OF order.
