they were met by "a man with

Costello at first denied attacking any
one. A blackjack was found in his
pocket. The publication OF Costello's
confession spread CONSERVATION far and
wide among gangsters and politicians
Detectives and reporters working on
the case found that blank wall was
being built up in an effort to prevent
an investigation that would involve
any one except the two gunmen. Cos
tello's statement had given absolute
certainty to the belief that the gunmen
had been brought to Philadelphia as
the result Of plot, and the most Of
the following day was spent In batter
ing down the wall OF protection and
silence in the underworld.
The Police Department. and partlcu-
larly the Detective Bureau and the po-
lice district commanded by Lieut. Ben

Mayor Smith was attending a banquet

Ambassador for the United States to

banquet hall he was handed a letter
from Judge Charles l.. Brown notify

No secret was mode Of the fact that

victory is a victory. and Jimmy"
Carey was crowned to reign unques-
toned for more than a decade. He
progressed from Police Lieutenant to
Magistrate at $4,000 year and per-
quis!tes. Then he went out as Mag
istrate after six years and became a
mercantile appraiser at 5000 year.
He is reputed to be wealthy now.
In the years Of his power Carey took
up as a lieutenant Isaac Deutsch, pro-
prietor Of a butcher store on South
street. one of the main business thor
oughfares of the southern district Of
the city. 'Deutsch was sent to Com
mon Council, where after several
terms re found a will Of his own and
began to have differences with Carey.
He says Carey always spied on him
and that finally this impelled him to
break away. A year ago the break
was made complete. Deutsch went to
the Mayor and then was shunted over
to the care of Senator Ware, who
groomed Kim for a ward leader against
Carey The vares ambitiously ex-
tending their control over the city's
| wards, looked to the control Of the
Fifth Ward as a vcritable jewel from
the fast crumbling throne of Senator
Penrose and Senator McNichol. They
had moved their territory Of the old
days from the piggery section Of the
meek" In South Philadelphia till its
boundary touched Carey's bailiwick.
and then leaping north spread far and
wide over the city.
OF votes there were comparatively
few to fight for. Following the pri-
mary election. September 10, only 1,947
votes were counted In the ward. These
came from seventeen Of the eighteen
divisions. The ballot box and entire
election paraphernalia had been stolen
from one division by election officials
The first count gave Carey the cleo
ton by 101 votes. A recount was de-
if,anded by Deutsch. and boxes were
opened In a number of divisions and
a count was taken In the division
where the original ballot box had been
stolen.
This ofYicial count. completed last
Tuesday, showed tEat Carey had been

elected by a margin Of SO votes over
Deutsch. The total vote for Carey
was 966. The vote for Dcutsch was
S33. This made total OF l,S4S votes
or 9S less than the election Judges
counted with a whole division missing.
All the disorder and violence stirred
up in the ward by Deutschs contest
apparently had gone for nought.
Deutsch says the murder OF Eppley
killed his chances Of being elected.
Carey remains the boss Of the ward,
but very much battered boss. The
beating brought him to the verge OF
death, and as far as Is known 1t was
the first he ever suffered In all the
stormy days of his strong arm leader
ship. On primary day his crown was
a great cap of bandages and sticking
plaster. From the hospital where his
wounds were dressed he insisted on
leaving to carry on the battle for votes
in the ward on election day. Ply
sicians warned him how dangerous
such activity was. but Carey persisted
and his wonderful vitality carried him
through till victory was assured. Then
he collapsed.
Frame.Up Charged by Dcutsch.
Deutsch insists he had nothing to do
with the plot and processes to believe
that Carey framed himself up and had
a beating administered to himself as a
last resort to win the ward. Deutsch
realizes he faces political ruin. and
that the battle waged because Of his
challenge to 'Carey's leadership may
bring the entire administration of
Mayor Smith topping from Its founda-
tions and create chaos within the Re-
publican party in the state such as II
has never before confronted.
The day Of the shooting brought
statement from Costello. companion Of
the slayer of Detective Eppley. This
statement sent the prosecuting ofiicials
hot upon the trail Of the conspirators
who had hired the gunmen.
Costello said ne was brought to
Philadelphia from Jersey City BY q

WAR PROFITS OF sPANIARDs

A good story of the war in the Phil.

Younghusband's recently published
book, "a Soldiers Memories"
Two Englishmen strolling round the
Spanish outpost line near Manila
CHANGED across small picket, consist.
ing Of three men in charge of ser.

The latter Hospitality offered the
Englishmen a share of their ration Of
red wine, which they gladly accepted
though, as it was very hot day, they
asked that a little water might be
added. .-
This, writes General Younghusband
was evidently considered a capital
Joke, for all four burst into roars Of
laughter.
"Wherefore this merriment?" asked
the Englishmen in some bewilderment
"Pardon us, SIR" said the sergeant
'but I will explain. That wine is 8

Of each cask the adjutant general

that his dignity required he should be

So furious was the Swedish on
slaught that two of the Russian re-
doubts were actually carried and the
Swedish infantry raised the cry Of
victory, yet the Russian artillerymen
stood steadily by their guns while
fresh masses of troops were poured
into their support. Never was the an
cient Swedish valor more gloriously
exemplified than upon that dreadful
day, yet the Swedish line finally broke
before the Russian works, whereupon
the czar himself led the infantry and
cavalry outside the Notifications,
formed them steadily under fire and
advanced over the open ground. Both
sovereigns were In the thick Of the
fray. They battled as medieval
knights, welding sword alongside the
cavalrymen of their bodyguards and
striving desperately to turn the day
which for more than two hours hung
in the balance.
But heavily outnumbered the
Swedes finally fell into disorder. In.
stantly the Russians launched ter
rife charge. The Swedes were com.
pletely routed, rushing down to the
junction of the rivers, where they per.

their enemies. Only few hundred
escaped by swimming the river, among
them Charles and Mazeppa, who made
their way into Turkish territory. Near.
