from injuries received when struck by an
automobile driven by Adelbert Roth, a
chauffeur, formerly OF 55i2 Summer street,
according to the verdict Of the Coroner's
fury today Roth is now a fugitive from
Justice. a warrant accusing him Of man
slaughter has been sworn out by Detec-
tive william j. Callahan.
When weckesser's body was found OIL
May 60 II was apparent that he had been
knocked down and left for dead by a
passing automobiist; but a small scalp
wound and marks thought to be powder
marks, together with the fact that onA
empty shell was found IN his revolver.
led many to believe that he had shot
himself when he knew he would die and
the pains from his wounds became un-
bearable
Ali thoughts of suicide were eliminated
by DR.. william wadsworth, coroner's
physician, who testified at the inquest
today. The so-called powder marks were
mere grease spots, he said, and Weckes-

an ale and a Mamie Taylor brought
him to Lehlgh avenue.
Down Lehigh avenue he went and dotted
the line OF march with an absnthe frappe,
creme de menthe and some Vermouth.
At Front street and Lehigh avenue Zeke
was still able to talk to policemen and he
proudly showed his wine list, with the
drinks licked off, as he had sampled them.
He was cautioned to 80 home, but
frowned upon the advice.
Several doses of benedictine, and a num-
ber of other drinks which had the bar
tenders guessing, finally brought Zeke to
within six of the end of the menu-and,
incidentally, TO Front street and Girard
avenue.
There the concoctlons of the night re-
belled against him, and while Zeke was
running In a circle around Front street
and Girard avenue with quart bottle OF
whisky he was captured by Policeman
Midget True to his name, he is small,
but. although Zeke is three times his
size, he brought him to the Front and

Against Proposed Unfair
Legislation by Councils.

latlon In Councils that would drive them
from the streets.
The Law Committee OF Councils in
secret session applied amendments to the
pending "itney" ordinance that would
prohibit the "jltneys" from charging
more than cents for a six-mie ride. A
parallel taxicab-regulating ordinance al
lows the "taSis" to charge $3.50 for a six
mile ride on a basis of rates of 30 cents
for the first mile or fraction thereof and
10 cents for each additional quarter mile.
'Jitneys" and taxlcabs must each pay
a $50 license fee and furnish a liability
bond Of S25OO.
a meeting to organize the 'jitney"
drivers of the city was held last night
In the Parkway building and in storm
Of denunciation Of Councils a plan was
formulated to distribute 10000 handblls
and circulate 600 petitions against Coun.
ellis contemplated action. The handbil
will set forth.
THE jitney is the carriage of the man
or woman who cannot afford to own an
automobile. That is the reason why those
in power are giving the corporations
power to drive the jItneys off the streets

About 100 "jltney" owners attended the |
meeting of the new organization of git |
ney' men last night 1t is the third or |
of its kind to spring UP since |
the 'jitneys" came into popularity. The |
men arranging for the meeting were Sam |

Opposed to the general tone OF protest
