MANY INJURED IN
 STREET GAR CRASH

Cleveland, February 24.-Three persons were fatally injured and 20 others hurt in a collision between a Pennsylvania railway train and street car here to- night.
 The street car was outbound and heav- fly loaded with passengers. At the grade crossing steam from exhaust pipe in a nearby factory obscured a view of the approaching passenger train. For this reason the gates were not lowered, and the car proceeded, although the car con- ductor had run ahead and pulled the de- railing lever. The locomotive struck the car near the rear end, splitting 1t in two. Many passengers were hurled several feet. That many were not killed was due to the slow speed of the train.
 Miss Alliene Borky, nurse who had 15-months-old Howard Clark in her arms, was thrown through a car window She clung to the baby and both escaped with only slight bruises.

SHOOTING CRAPS
 AWAY UP IN AIR

Seven white workmen were arrested on the tenth floor of the Brown-Marx annex at 12:3O o'clock yesterday for shooting craps The arrests were effected by Deputy Sheriffs Curl, Wilson and Higdon.
 Several complaints had been made to the sheriff office about the workmen on the annex shooting craps during their lunch hour. The partitions between the Brown-Marx building and the annex have been partially removed, and the complaints made by tenants were that the men used profahe language, which was plainly audible several floors away.
 It was necessary for the officers to climb ten flights of stairs to reach the men, and they allege that they caught them dead to rights. They also ex- perienced little trouble in entering the building, one of the foremen endeavor- ing to get policeman to arrest them for trespass.
 The seven men were taken to the coun- ty jail where they remained until late in the afternoon, when they were released on bond.

BRIBERY CASES
 TO COME UP TODAY
SHERIFF'S "GRAFT FUND" MAT TER ATTRACTED. WIDE ATTEN- TON TO THE SUBJECT WHEN ARRESTS WERE FIRST MADE.

The bribery cases, of which there are a dozen or more. which grew out of Sheriff Higdon's now famous graft fund" are scheduled to come up in the first division of the criminal court be- fore Judge Samuel L. Weaver this morning.
 The disposition of the cases will be matter of general interest There is some talk that the cases will be nolle this effect was given out yesterday from an authentic source. So far only one of these cases has been tried, that of Abe Siegal, who was convicted by a jury and later released by Judge Weaver on technicality.
 These bribery cases were at one time just about the lvest subject in Jef ferson county. During SiegaPs trial charges and counter charges of the most sensational nature were made, and the whole affair finally resulted in the indictment of Deputy Sheriff Louis k. Dean on a charge of accepting bribes, it being alleged that hea corruptly re- ceived money from the gamblers. How ever, Dean was tried on six different charges, of accepting bribes and in each count he was exonerated.
 It will be recalled that when the bribery cases came up several months ago the prosecution of the cases was blocked by Deputy Deans indisposi- tion to testify while a charge of bribery stood against him.
 Today however, it is announced that the state will be ready to proceed with the cases Sheriff Higdon has In his safe several thousand dollars, said to have been received from the gamblers, which will be introduced as evidence.

 T suggest to Solicitor Hefin that if he has this or other evidence of any crime that l have committed he should discharge his duty as solicitor of this county by swearing out a warrant against me and give me a fair chance to meet his charges in a qualified legal forum in due form. A fair public will reeog- nize that l cannot protect myself against charges made in the way the solicitor now pursues.
