New York, June 1O.-The trial of
Raymond Hitchcock, the comedian,
charged with attempted assault upon
young girls, was concluded late today
in the supreme court, the case being
given to the jury at 1880 p. m.
The greater part of the day was
taken up with the submission of evil
dence for the defense 10 cOntTOVert the
charge that Hitchcock mistreated
either the complainant in the case,
Helen Won Hagen or Elsie VOecks. His
chauffeur and valet, Herman H. II.
Ruhke, was an important witness in
cOrrobOrating HitchcOck's testimony
that there was no misconduct on his
part on any of the occasions instanced
by the state.
ChanIer on the Stand.
William Astor Chanler, the former
congressman. was another witness of
the day to COntrOveTt the evidence of
Helen Won Hagen that she saw him at
the actors home at Great Neck upon
one of her visits there. Documentary
evidence was produced to show that
Hitchcock, on one occasion at least,
was in New York City when his girl
accusers declared he was with them at
his summer home on Long Island.
Argument of Attorneys.
Attorney Steur in his argument,
dWelt strongly upon the testimony of
Hitchcock's valet regarding the visit
of the two girls to the ''house with the
green blinds" i'm West FoTty-first
street. The valet testified that Hitch
cocks conduct at that time was ex-
lemplaTy; that the actor taxed the girls
with circulating base stories about
him, and dismissed them with a warn
| ing when they denied having done so
In summing up, Prosecutor Garvan
declared that Hitchcock confessed his
guilt ito me and TO YOU

tered the court room and asked for in

were equally divided the benefit of the

points. and as to the last question said
the defendant might be given the bene-
| fit of the doubt in case the evidence
was equally divided. The jury then re-

New York, June 1O.-Timothy L.
Woodruff, chairman of the state Re
publican committee, said today that
in view of the certainty that Taft
would be nominated fer president at
Chicago, Governor Hughes candidacy
ought not TO be permitted TO stand in
the way of New York state getting the
vice presidency.
If Governor Hughes friends. he said,
should insist on the governors name
going before the convention, there
would be no objection if it was under
stood il would be merely a cOmpli-
mentary vote and New York state
waived none of its rights to the sec
ond place by presenting the governor s
name.
Marietta. O., June 10.-The interview
of the Associated Press with Timothy
l. Woodruff Of New York was shown
TO General Stewart L. Woodruff,
chairman of the Hughes committee,
who is here attending the Marietta
college commencement, the degree of
doctor of laws having been conferred
on him today. He gave out the fol-
lowing:
should Secretary Taft be nominat-
ed for the presidency at Chicago,
nothing could prevent the vice presi-
dency coming to New York. and if all
elements of New York Republicanism
will act as unselfishly and unitedly as
the friends of Governor Hughes will

SICK SENATOR
RISKS HIS LIFE
Anti Gambling Bills to Be Vot-
ed Upon in New York
Senate Today.
PASSAGE VERY DOUBTFUL
OPPOSITION HAS SOMETHING UP
ITS SLEEVE.

Albany. n. Y, June 10.-Veterans of
many sensational legislative battles
confess that their memories lack a
complete parallel to the extraordinary
situation existing here tonight on the
eve Of the second struggle in the sem
ate over the bills embodying the re-
newed recommendation of Governor
Hughes that the legal discrimination be
abolished which for thirteen years has
practically protected public gambling
at the race tracks in this state. A con-
ference of the Republican senators late
today agreed upon a limitation of de-
bate which would have brought the bills
to a final vote probably late tomorrow
afternoon or in the evening. This was
followed by a meeting of the finance
committee to consider the joint resolu-
ton adopted some time ago by the as
sembly fixing the hour for final ad-
journment of the extraordinary session
at O'Clock tomorrow afternoon.
Hint of Treachery.
In this committee meeting Senator
Grady, leader of the Democratic mi
nOrity who from the beginning has led
on the senate floor the opposition to the
anti-gambling bills, surprised every
body not i'm confidence by suddenly
agreeing for his part that debate should
be so limited as to bring the final vote
at noon. Up to that moment il had
been expected that the opposition would
exhaust every means TO delay the vote
Most observers interpret Senator Ora
dy's attitude as indicating that the OPP
position has in reserve the pledged vote
or the equally effective absence from
the senate chamber at the critical mo-

Kansas City, June 1O.-All calcula-
tons Of the weather bureau and river
experts as TO the duration and the eX-
teEt of the flood at the junction of the
Kaw and Missouri rivers were upset
today by the continued rise os the Mis-
souri,, due to heavy rains IN Dakota
and Nebraska. At p. m. the Missouri
river was 27.2 feet above low water, a
rise Of y inch since noon. There will
be a steady rise i'm the Missouri for the
next tWenty-fOur hours. and the river
will probably go to Pig or IS feet to-
morrow. 1t will then remain stationary
for tWenty-fOur hours. Then, under the
influence of the receding Kaw, the river
will fall slowly. At 5 D. m. the Kaw
river at the stOckyards was 27.S above
low water, a rise of A for the day. This
rise, however is due to the damming
of the river just below the stock yards
by the Missouri Pacific and Union Pa
cific bridges, which have accumulated
a vast amount of driftwOOd. The Kaw
at its mouth is stationary, and at Bon
ner Springs. Kan, fifteen miles west
[ is falling.

Town Surrounded by Water.


The flood tonight was highly suec-
taculaT. viewed from the bluffs of Kan
sas City. On the Clay county bank of
the Missouri the little village of Har-
lem was entirely surrounded by water.
and the river was flowing a mile wide
behind the village over corn fields.
The KaW has overlooked most Of the
railroad yards, the stockyards and the
residence and manufacturing districts
Of ArmOurdale. Ten feet of water is
running through Kansas avenue, the
main street of ArmOuTdale.
The flood is the highest since that of
1903, but the water is more than seven
feet lower than in that year.
II If the two low bridges across the
Kaw, those Of the Missouri Pacific and
Union Pacific. are able to Withstand the
pressure of the water and dTiftWOOd
lodged against them, not much further
damage will be done. But if these
bridges should go out they would prob
ably carry others with them and sever
street car. telephone and railroad COM
municatiOn between the two wings of
the city. The land that is yet to be
overlooked has been abandoned by its
occupants, and further loss from this
source is not expected
