NJ NICHOL HELD
ON LIBEL CHARGE
Leader of Philadelphia Repub-

er'S Dock.

Philadelphia, June 4-The unusual
spectacle of a political leader of a
great city hailed before a police magis-
trate on a charge Of criminal libel drew
a great crowd Of people to the neigh
borhood of the little office of Judge
German today, where State Senator
James p. McNichOl, the acknowledged
head of the Republican organization
had been summoned on a warrant
sworn out by Max Kaufman, private
secretary of Mayor Reyburn. to whom
McNichOl stated on Tuesday he gave
1000 for the use Of the Law and Or
der society i'm discrediting the reform
efforts of Mayor Weaver in 1905.
Held to Court.
At the conclusion of, the testimony
of Kaufman denying the charge, and
of Secl etary GibbOney of the Law and
Order society in Kaufmann's behalf
Senator McNichol was held for court,
no bail being suggested.
Kaufman, who was a newspaper re.
porter in 1905, admitted that he had
financial dealings with Senator Nc
NichOl, but claimed whatever money
passed between them was used in
making bets 10 influence opinion re-
garding the pending fall election. The
money involved. he said, amounted to
between 500 and S1.500.
Gibboney's Testimony.
Secretary GibbOney; whose crusades
against vice have made his name a
household word, gave interesting tes-
timony against Senator McNichol. He
denied that he had received a penny
of the $1,000. or that he had ever ar
ranged with Kaufman to make spec
tacular raids for pOliti al purposes. He
declared that every reference to him
self in a letter written by McNichOl
was untrue.
Mr.. Gibboney said that in the fall Of
1905 McNichol called upon him at his
office at night and discussed the
Weaver administration. According to
the witness, McNichOl said Weaver
was an migrate, and he intimated a de-
sire to get even with him. McNichOl

determined to try and make the high
ways safer in the future Accordingly
he organized a force of 5000 guards,
and equipped them in uniform not
unlike that of the Italian carabineri.

inches from base to top. The disks
of cretonne measure Il inches Or
more in diameter. The pattern of the

flowers in clusters on a deep cream
background. Large figures do not
look as well, especially when made
up into shades Of less simple style.

four disks are covered with the Gre

Actly the same arrangement of the
flowers . The inside of each circle of
the frame is then lined with some thin
material. either a silk or a cotton In
cream color or shade which will
soften the light but not dim it.
Around the lower edge OF the four
disks. which are joined together side

fringe of clear crystal beads. An
inch and a half is good width for
this fringe, though sometimes double
this width is used. The three-inch
bead fringe belongs, however, rather
to oriental effects than to simple Gre

shade. which forms four shallow seal

cord finish to hide the joining of the
disks as well as the edges.
