Strike talk .brpko out again among the
railroad brotherhood men today. Thomas
Donovan, the Boston-Albany chairman, pro
posed at the morning session that tho
brotherhood chairmen return to their homes,
leaving the four heads here to arrange a
strike. Ills effort, however, was crushed.
For a time it appeared as though the
sentiment for quick action might not be
checked. There were many speeches.
Brotherhood heads, seeing the trend of the
session, came to the fore and spoke against
such a dractlo force. Finally, through
parliamentary maneuvers, Donovan's plan
was killed without being made Into a formal
motion or comlne to any vote.
The strike threat was so strong that
It was plainly Indicated afterward the lead
ers might not be able to check the men
more than it hours longer One brother
hood leader said they could be kept In

The brotherhood leaders found that a

the railway executives In coming to a decision.

Excitement In Greece over the gigantic

being heightened by dispatches from
Bucharest to the effect that the Rumanian
army, approximately 600,000 strong, has
been put upon a. war footing. The entrance
of Rumania Into the war prObably would
compel Greece to abandon her attitude of
neutrality and take a decisive step.
Meanwhile a. dispatch from Athens states
that Turkey Is sending Hurriedly troops In

said that one Turkish division has been sent

POLICE EXPECT GIRL
TO REPORT MURDERER
Continued from Pnce One
reputation, and to save her will report him
self. N'o other hope remains.
The police have no description of the man
nor the womnn They have been unable to
get the number of the automobile. They
cannot even obtnln a description of It nor
guess what was Its make. Tho mystery of
the shooting Ib farther beyond them than
was that of any murder they have had In
years
Boland, with a crowd of boys going Into
Falrmount Park to give n friend they knew
was there a "ghost scare," came upon a
small automoblla hidden In the shadows of
trees and ahrubbory by the side of an un
frequented road in Nolll drlvo. Tne raint
splotches of light falling through the trees
played upon a man In the nutomobile, and
Boland and the boys saw that he was hug
ging and kissing a young woman.
"Better light your lamps," said Boland,
who was out In tho road and nearest the
car
There was a shot, a flash of light from
the automobile, and Boland fell headlong
to tho rond. Then a Bccond shot and a
third, apparently fired with deliberate aim
by the man In the automobile, struck the
body.
The woman In the nutot.iubllc screamed
Boland's companions, frightened at tho first
shot had scurried Into the bushes
When they realized that Boland had
been struck they hurried out again and ran
to his side.
SLAVER SPEEDS AWAY.
Tho automobile engine began to hum In
the bushes and the car moved out Into the
foad It was gone In a flash. The boys
tlld not get the number of It. They nro un
able to describe It except to say It was a
small automobile
The boys picked up Boland's body and
carried It to tho Schuylkill bridge which
spans the river at Mldvalo avenue. A doc
tor, passing In ftn automobile, took tho body
and sped to the Samaritan Hospital. Ba
the physicians there said the first shot which
struck Boland In the head, had killed him
instantly. Two shots struck him In the
side of the head.
The police of Falrmount Park today aro
looking for a clue They ore handicapped
in the beginning because no one knows the
number of the automobile Nor can any
one guess what make of car It was.
Detective William Callahan, of the mur
der squad, said It was'the hardest case tlie
police had hau ror years 'mere are several
theories the police are working on, hut
none of them Is more than a shadow of a
theory.
Boland was with Walter Broughton. 21
years old, 4652 Stanton street; Martin Snd
ller. 1S5 Arnold street ; Edward J. Ryan and
his brother Micheal, 142 Stanton street;
Edward Geer, 21 years old, 3719 Stanton
street, and Edward. Downey, 19 years old.
East Park drhe, Falls of Schuylkill.
PLANNED GHOST SCARE
They had started out at 10 o'clock last
night to scare Martin Plnyard. an em
ploye on the links of the Philadelphia
Country Club One had a sheet tucked under
his arm. They Intended, when they found
Plnyard, that ono should put the sheet on
and approach Plnyard with waving arms
and stately tread. Impersonating a ghost
They were murmuring and whispering
among themselves, planning the "scare" as
they crossed the Falls of Schuylkill bridge
Boland, Sadler and Broughton wore walk
ing ahead, planning Just how the "ghost"
should act When they reached the other
Bide, they turned Into Xelll drlvo. It was
very dark, the tor' l place a superstitious
person would believe a ghost should be, a
spot little frequented after nightfall
They had not gone far beyond the bridge
when they came upon tho motorcar No
sound came from It They knew the man
was kissing the girl The pair was sil
houetted against the black trees. As the
"ghost party" came nearer the man was
heard muttering.
When Boland spoke the shots that came
In reply were so sudden and so quick that
the other members of the crowd, who had
been lagging behind, scattered. When they
realized the bullets had struck Boland they
emerged from the bushes and ran to hH
side.
The murder was reported by the boys to
the Ridge and Mldvalo avenues police sta
tion, and detectives of the 'murder squad
started out at once to look for tho car
Tho youths were held at the station as
witnesses.
The police say the storlos the young men
tell all coincide, yet they are working on
theories that there may be other stories.
They are unable to settle on a motive for
the murder. To get an understandable
motive they hae sought other explanations.
One theory is that the man thought him
self and the girl In danger and shot to
protect himself Another is that the boys
may have attempted to interfere with him
and the girl.

VILLAIN, NEW TITLE
GIVEN "JIM" McNICHOL
Continued from Pas One
ceptlng straw ball In the sum of $8400 on
the night of the big Tenderloin raid.
Judge Call Is still "Joe" and "Callle"
with Lane, who discredited the report that
Call had deserted him for Penrose and
McN:chot. and declared that he did not
believe Call aspired to take his place as
leader In the Twentieth Ward.
Lane Is Inclined to be lenient with the
"Judge," for whom he has stood sponsor
politically elnie Call first entered politics,
He won't mix up In Call's troubles wllh the
police over the quarantining of Call's
Twentieth Ward Republican Club as a
gambling Joint, howevor.
"Joe Is nn Impulsive fellow, but ho did no
worse than nearly every other Magistrate on
the night of tho raid," said Lane. "What
is straw ball, anyhow? A Magistrate has
the right to relense prisoners, except per
haps on criminal charges, on their own
recocnlzance 'Callle' made himself person
ally responsible for the appearance of those
19 women, nnd they did appear before the
Grand Jury, I understand."
SHIES AT "CALLIE'S" CLUB.
"Uncle Davo" was not so lenient with
Call's Twentieth Ward Republican Club.
"I have never had nnythlng to do with
'Cattle's' club." ho said. "In fact, I made
him tako tho name of the club from the
windows of tho building. I even threatened
to go Into court and force him to do It"
Lane's faith In the faithfulness of his
lieutenant has remained unshaken In spite
of Call's frequent trips and pinochle games
with State Senator James P. McNIchol.
"Joo has never swerved In his nlleglance
to me," said the city chairman. "He ha
been friendly with McNIchol, It is true, but
he voted for me for delegate last spr.ng,
There's nothing to that story that he
worked against me. I guess that story
came from a report that Call aspired to be
leader in tho Twentieth Ward after I am
gone. -Thoros nothing to tnat. tnougn. joo
will never be a ward leader. He can't
control himself, so how do you suppose ho
can control others?"
Magistrate Call Is no worso than the other
Magistrates, according to Lano. "Other
Magistrates do the same things ns 'Callle,' "
he said, "but you seldom hear of them.
I guess Joe has been singled out because
ho is so Impulsive."
"Uncle Dave" cloied ' his discussion of
Magistrate Call and Magistrates in general
by asserting that he has never studied the
