hours after his arrival on the Etruria,
Charles W. Morse dethroned Ice King,
began his expected fight for vindication
Of his name and TO punish his enemies

Through his attorney Philip B. Britt
after entering a plea of not guilty with
the privilege of Withdrawing it, Morse de-
manded an inspection Of the minutes Of
the grand jury that indicted him on two
charges Of grand larceny 1t is the first
step TO stave off the pending proceedings
once he is feer. Of these charges, 1t is
stated that Morse will commence to re-
habihtate the concerns with which he was
connected. Many gratuitious knocks We're
handed to him to-day. Justice Dowling
fixed next Monday as the time for Tling
any formal motions. When this had been
done Morse walked out OF court, his bond
of 10000 furnished yesterday by the
Fidelity and Deposit Company Of Mary
land having been continued.
The arraignment Of the financier did not
exceed FIVE minutes During the time his
attorney was talking Morse stood before

HEAVY fine FOR
ANNIE WASHINGTON
SIashed at Rival With a Razor
for Alternating husbands
Affections

Pleading guilty to the charge Of as
sault and battery in the city Court
today. Annie Washington, colored, was
fined $50 and costs. The prosecuting
witness in the case, was Sadie Cham
bers. also colored. and she testified
that Annie tried TO cut her with a
razor. Sadie did receive a nick be-
hind the right ear but It could hardly
be noticed this morning In court. With
the exception OF this slight wound,
Bessie escaped with two slashes on
the coat which she wore at the time Of
the fracas.
Annie accused Sadie OF alternating
her husbands affections and meeting
her with the man at Second and King
streets on Saturday night, the pris-
oner got busy with a razor she car
ried. Bessie. however, was fleet Of foot
and escaped. Annie then turned on
her husband and began to beat him
with her fists. He objected to this
kind Of treatment and stabbed her in
the breast with a pocketknife. He
has not been seen since.
AT this point. Annie started after
Bessie again and chased her to Third
and Market streets. where Officer
Horace Mcdaniel took her in custody
but had 10 use the nippers to bring
her 10 the police station.

Some members OF the orchestra de-
clare the railroad will never be able
70 make good the losses they sustain-
ed. Some Of the damaged instruments
were valued highly because Of age and
quality.
Important Is the fact that Phlladel-

been put TO a loss by reason OF the
lcanceling of engagements at the
Academy OF Music for Friday and Sat-
urday Of last week The concert en-
gagement for Trenton tomorrow night

John Conley, a young man, charged in
the City Court to-day with neglectins
his four small children, the mother
of whom died some months ago. After
hearing a report on the case from
Humane Agent Frank Stout. the court
imposed fine of $50 and costs on the
defendant.
Mr.. Stout related a story which
would sadden the heart of almost any
one. The mother of the children. he
said. was dead. having died at the
home of her parents in Maryland. Be
fore the woman died he said he had
received two complaints of negligence
ON the part of the prisoner to provide
for his family. and he was doing no
better now than on these two occas-
sions. Mr.. Stout said he found the
man at the Breakfast Mission, and this
was where he spent most of his nights
after going around drinking all day.
After hearing the evidence I'm the
case of Charles Hultberg, charged with
assault and battery on his son, who It

ONLY25 MEN OFF
WATER WAGON
So Far Operating Employees
Are Living Up to Com
pany'S Rules

1T is too early to discuss the effect OF
the anti-drink order recently issued"
said an official OF the Baltimore and
Ohio yesterday.
Third Vice President George l.. Pot
ter. who issued the prohibition notice
January /, clearly outlined its purpose.
He made the men 10 understand that
IL was intended for the betterment OF
the service, for greater safety in oper-
alton and Tor the ultimate credit and
popularity OF the company.
"The order is being rigidly enforced
No one In the inhibited class found
violating the order IS exempt from
summary dismissal. This is well under
stood among the Baltimore and Ohio
superintendents along all divisions OF
the road. No shielding of the violat-
ors nor excuses will be accepted at
headquarters. 1T Is TO the credit OF
the operating force in the company's
service TO note that after six weeks
OF enforcement the rule has resulted
in the dismissal Of only 8 men. When
Il is recalled that Il applies TO $4,000
or 10000 men, this small percentage
can be better appreciated"
One effect attributed TO the anti
drink order to the operating force is
seen in the return OF the pay checks
TO the treasurer's office. The January
payments. which came in during the
first 10 days Of February showed that
at least $4,000 had been cashed by
merchants and small storekeepers. In
the previous month only about $4,000
had been so cashed This. the officials
thought, might mean that the operat-
ing force feared TO go 10 saloons or
places where liquor is sold to exchange
their pay checks for cash. 1t would
have put the company's officials on
their guard and might have led them
