BLACK EYE, WHITE HAT,
LEAD TO HIS ARREST
New York Police Say They Have Man
Who Stabbed Orderly in
HOSPITAL.

New York. Oct ia white slouch
-Lat and a black eye led to the capture
today of William j. Nicholson. an
elderly soap peddler, who stabbed to
death John Cavanaugh, an orderly. in
the Polytechnic Hospital on Wednesday
and then escaped bareheaded.
NichOlson's arrest resulted from a
story told the police by George Karrer,
a relative. Karrer said Nicholson ap-
pcared at his home on Wednesday night
and asked for a hat, saying he had
lost his in fight. Nicholson, at the
time. had a black eye sustained by a
fall.
According to the police, the man con-
fessed. saying that he had not intended
TO kill CavanauEh. but only to cut tn.
straps on a straight jacket. In some
way. he said. Cavanaugh fell against
the knife receiving a mortal wound.
Nicholson, who was being treated for
alcoholism, said he did not know until
he saw Thursdays papers that a murder
had been committed. The man was on
the verge of collapse and frequently be-
came incoherent while being questioned.

new GREAT War
loan PREDICTED
W. B. Hibbs Says Many in
Washington Believe Another
Credit Will Be Negotiated.
JOINS OPTIMISTIC CHORUS
Broker Asserts War Order Business Is
Popular-Big Traders Show
Activity.
JOINS OPTIMISTIC CHORUS
BY JOSEPH p. AMIN.

That another great loan or credit to
the governments of the entente allies
will follow the $50. .0oo Goa credit finally
agreed upon IN New York was strongly
hinted at by William b. Hibbs, of the
brokerage firm of that name, In discuss
ing yesterday WashinGton's participation
In the credit. Mr. Hibbs, as the repre-
sentative of the underwriting syndicate,
will have control of the placing of such
part OF the loan as is asked by indl-
viduals in Washington. Incidentally, Mr..
Hibbs joins The Heralds optimists' cho-
rus this morning
Since let it be known yesterday that
] would have the underwriting for the
syndicate of Washington's share of the
loan 1 have been flooded with applica-
tions." Mr.. Hibbs said yesterday.
Moreover, great many seem to be
holding back for piece of a second loan.
which every one seems to expect.
Roughly speaking, l should say that
Washington will take about 81 100000 of
the loan. Through my connections 1 ex-
pect to be able to obtain as much of the
loan for Washington as is demanded.
Loan Proves Popular.
There is no doubt in my mind. though.
that. the country over, the loan will be
far oversubscribed. many putting in late
orders in order TO be first on the new
loan they seem to expect. Every one
likes the loan; the country is happy; it
likes the war-order business, and the
small trader-the "odd-lots'' man, buying
IN lots under a hundred shares-is getting
busy and putting into circulation money
which has been boarded. Washington IS
the refleX-every one here feels the ef-
feet.
Another interesting feature of the
situation Is that the war munitions busi-
ness is bringing a new circle of big
traders into activity. men who jumped
TO the front when the conservative and
big banker was holding back. and who
now are leading the activity and dictat-
ing the course of the market. Finally.
the old conservatives are dropping in,
not ahead as usual. but behind the big
financial movements

BUT, IF HE HASN'T CONTROL.
New Jersey Law Professor settles
Baseball Question.

Newark. n. j.. Oct. B.-Prof. Calvin
McClelland. professor of possession in
law at the New Jersey Law School, an
swered today a question of possession
upon which for week some of the
brightest minds in New Jersey have been
concentrated. even to the exclusion of the
world series. The question was. Who is
in possession of a baseball after it has
left the hand of the pitcher and is on
its way toward the batter" The an
swer given by Prof. McClelland and
which he declared to be the correct one
is:
Possession is manifested control over
an object and present intention to ex-
clude others from it The pitcher has
manifested control because when he
throws the ball it is his intention to ex-
clude 1t from the batter. Therefore, the
bali is in the possession of the pitcher
until the catcher gets his hands on it

ARGUMENTS ON INCOME
TAX CASES CONCLUDED
Solicitor General Davis Speaks for
Government Before u. S.
Sunrene Court
Supreme Court,

Arguments before the Supreme Court
in the income tax cases closed yester-
day. Solicitor General Davis. who made
the principal argument for the govern
ment. contended that the task which
the government has imposed on certain
corporations of Withholding the income
tax "at the source and the expense
and trouble thereby imposed was a bur
den of citizenship which the govern
ment had constitutional right to i'm
panies.
The strongest reliance of those who
are lighting the law is on the proba bility
that the court will hold that there is
no constitutional power to impose upon
the tasks of a tax collec-
tor entail.ng expense and trouble; that
1t amounts to a taking of the prop
erty of the corporation without Just
and without due process
of law.

TEACHERS HEARD
INEXCISE CASE
More Than 100 Are Com
plainants Against Saloon
In Seventh Street.
MATTER OF PRINCIPLE
Shoemaker Explains Objection to
Sale of Ice Cream at
Rauscher's.

F. c. Daniel, principal of Technical
High School; Miss Florence f. Milliken.
teacher in the Henry School. and sew
eral policemen were witnesses and more
than 100 school-teachers who signed Pc
titions were complainants yesterday
when the Excise Board heard the appli-
cation of Roger O'Hanlon and James
Murray for a renewal of their saloon
license at 1921 Seventh street northwest.
Attorney Albert E. Shoemaker. for the
Anti-Saloon League. handled the case
against the saloon men. He called Po-
lice Capt Doyle, Of the Second precinct:
Sergt. Pearson and Policemen Downs and
German to prove that conditions in the
neigh hborhood of the saloon are bad, and
that children going to their studies at
the three high schools and four graded
schools in the neighborhood are subjected
to evil influence.
Says "Record" Is Object.
NJ. P. Sullivan. who appeared for
OHanlon and Murray. charged that
Doyle had tried for a record" in his
precinct, and had ordered arrests on all
possible occasions.
The board reserved decision.
Mr.. Shoemaker also opposed the issu-
ance of licenses to Patrick F. Carr and
James W. Warden, who operate bar
rooms Just west Of Aqueduct Bridge, In
NJ street. SulIS III tie DiStIlCl oupiciiic
Court are pending in these cases.
When John H. De Atley applied for a
license for his saloon at 1922 Pennsyl-
vania avenue northwest, Mr.. Shoemaker
opposed, on the ground that the prem
ises constitutes a hotel with less than
fifty bedrooms A hotel in the same
building is conducted by a son Of Mr..
De Atley.
Saengerbund License Opposed.
In the case of the Washington Saen-
gerbund. which has its club house at
S14 street northwest, Mr.. Shoemaker
opposed the granting of license on the
ground that the principal revenue Of the
club is derived from its bar sales. He
made the same coNtention previously in
the case Of the Army and Navy Club.
Mr.. Shoemaker yesterday explained his
reason for demanding that Rauscher's.
at Connecticut avenue and L street. be
forbidden to sell ice cream on Sundays.
His argument was based on a clause in
the excise law, which says:
"' . On Sundays every barroom
and other place where intoxicating
liquors are sold shall be kept closed"
Rauschers violates the Sunday closing
law" said Mr.. Shoemaker. ITO me it
is simply a matter OF principle. If one
place of this sort is permitted to be kept
open on Sunday. it may be a wedge for
another place which will not sell any
thing so innocent as ice cream.
THE excise law here must be enforced |
strictly and to the letter. Even a minor |
violation. which could do no harm in |
itself. might be a precedent for a more
serious violation Of the law. It is nee
essary that all places except hotels at
which intoxicants are sold be kept closed
on Sunday. That is the only way to in !,
sure absolute observance of the Sunday |
closing law"
