Iner pastor of the Westminster nnd Fourth

Fifty-eighth street ami Chester avenue In

and Lombard streets, now at l-'orty-.eveuth
street and IClngscssing avenue.
George cieeland. 901 South Forty-eighth
street, an cider In the Fouith Prcsbjterlan
Church, said todav Doctor ttltchlc had
many friends in this city, lie was asked
to resign from the pastorate of the church
In 1890. Mr Cieeland explained owing to
n, dispute with one of the members.
The Rev Doctor Hunter, pastor of the
Union Presbterlan Church, York and Coral
streets, said Doctor ltltchle was a popular
'jreacher in Philadelphia "He preached
well and often chose popular subjects," Doc
tor Hunter said "He was not bcusatlonnl,
however, and as I remember him. ho had
many friends
' After leaving Philadelphia Doctor Itllchlo
accepted a call of the First Presbyterian
Church In Portchcstcr, X Y. Ho was
thero until 1895. He then went to Asbury
Park as an evangelist for thrco years The
last charge he held was at Painted Post,
N. Y.. In 1898 He Is tho author of several
theological books.
News of Doctor Ultchlo's plight caused
B sensation In Xew York and ttrooklyn
church circles, where ho is widely known.
Although he has never been connected with
a. church In Brooklyn, ho lias neen an
active member of the Presbytery there, and
for the last ten years has been chaplain
of the U S Urant Post, U. A. It. In that
city.
Detective Greer, of tho Brooklyn pollco
drug snuad. testified that ho trapped tho
clergyman hy giving him $2 In marked bills
for a bottle filled with a liquid, which, on
analysis, was found to contain fifty-four
Brains of morphine
The marked money Is said to hao been
found In Doctor Illtchle's possession Ac
cording to Detective Greer, Doctor Ritchie
told him at tho time of tho purchase:
"If you find yourself In any danger from
the police, smash tho hottlo on the side
walk." '
A strong box containing tho drugs al
leged to have been seized was produced as
evidence The contents were aluecl at
more than JG00
Doctor Ritchie for several ears has been
known as the possessor of a cure for mor
phine addiction In 1902, he was secretary
of the interdenominational committee, or
ganized far the suppression of the drug
habit, Several other clergymen were as
sociated with him In that enterprise.
Several years ago the Xew York Medical
poclety took exception to Doctor Ultchlo's
administration of his remedy to addicts.
He Is sulci to have been lined 575 for prac
ticing medicine without a license The
committee shortly afterward was dissolved.
Doctor Ritchto called his arrest "an out
rage." Probe for Plots

GLAZING BARREL STARTED
EXPLOSION, PROBE SHOWS
WILMINGTON Del, Jun. 13 Iniestl.
Rations made by the officials of the du Pont
company show that the trouble began with
tin explosion of a sweetie or Blazing barrel
In which the finishing touches are nut on
j smokeless powder This explosion burst
that piece of machinery apart, and It Is
presumed fragments of metal exploded a
magazine some distance away. Flames
from the burning powder ignited a blending-
tower In another direction, and the
flames from this In turn spread until In all
nine buildings were Involved In the fire
complete Investigations show that two
men are missing It Is not known yet
whether they were killed The others were
seriously enough Injured to need .hospital
treatment, but their Injuries are not oon-
jiidered dangerous. There were a number
. iivCmlDor injuries, consisting of bruises and
- -wwaUihes. But aside from the two, they
required slight medical attention.
The investigation Into the cause has gone
far enough to convince the otftolaU that
there was no incendiarism or malicious ac
tion n the part of any one. The operation
of a sweetie barrel frequently produces
static electricity and this has been always
one of the greatest dangers to be guarded
against
Overheating of bearings has caused simi

Wilson Seeks Bargain
Basis for New Move
Continued from 1'nse One
tho absenco of any demands for Huglund
says:
This self-effacement cannot fall to
Impress public opinion In the United
States It furnishes fresh proofs that
we did not enter tho war from lust for
dominion or any deslro to destroy nn In
convenient commercial rival, but bimply
from an overwhelming sense of duty.
The Chrunlcle expresses the opinion
that this disinterestedness will recall to
Americans tho fact thnt tho I'nlted States
gave Cuba to the Cubans after taking tho
Island away from Spain anil that Great
Britain gavo homo rule to South Africa
after tho Boer War.
Tim new sna nor takes the view that Presl
dent Wilson will not make any more pcacal
moves Immediately. In this connection It
bavs:
The German note (replying to Presi
dent Wilsons Initiative) definitely
seems to Have closed tho door to peace,
which, until tho note's Issuance, was
ajar. Under theho circumstances It Is
not likely that President Wilson for tha
tlino being will cunttnue Ms high
minded efforts to net as peacemaker,
but when the hour is here, wo hope to
grasp the skirts of "happy chance." As
the head of a state not involved In tho
war he has sacred obligations ta hu
manity to-do what is In his power to
end the bloodshed and devastation.
A plea for more cordial relations between
Hngland and the United States was mado
by the Chronicle After stating that more
respect should be given to the rights of all
neutrals, the Chronicle continues:
It Is particularly necessary to show
consideration for America In the mat
ter of sea. rights. In regards to which
American opinion has always been very
sensitive It is not politic to Irritate
the United lltates by pedantic pro
cedure without any naval value or mili
tary necessity We vvere Justified In
sitwdullng an the blacklist certain com
mercial firms In neutral countries, but
we fear the blacklisting has been en
forced too rigorously and without dis
crimination. The American people have
a high regard for Llojd George, and he
has In It his power to remove all causes
of friction between the two 'countries.
Let him exercise this power and rivet
American ujnipathy still closer
As the papers continue to comment there
bas appeared no note of dissension. All
believe that terms laid down are Just
The demand for the expulsion or the Turks
from Europe Is called "drastic but not
excessive" by the Nation. Liberal news
papers deny that the Allies aim at the
dismemberment of Austria-Hungary The

CHAMBER "LIVE WIRES"
ABANDON BALLOT KICK
Charge Eleventh-Hour Election
Trick, However, in Methods
of Old Guard
Following n constructive, rather than a
destructive policy, tho "live wires" of tho
Chamber of Commerce, announced today
that they had withdrawn a protest against
tho ballot for tho election of directors oil
January 18, despite tho fact that It Is In
their opinion a violation of tho by-laws
governing the elections of tho Chamber of
Commerco. uii the grounds that It would
cause great expense to tho organization If
new ballots had to bo printed.
However, tho "llvo wires" readily com
ment on the ballot, which they bay Is nn
"old guard, cievcnth-hour trlcV' that wus
discovered beforo tho olovcnth hour. Under
tho by-laws of tho Chamber of Commerce
It Is required that the candidates bo listed
on the ballot iu alphabetical order, but the
ticket mailed to the members Is dlvukd
into two groups
The "llve-wlro" slato Is placed under a
heading "t petitioned candidates, while the
"o .guard" nominees bear tho Information
that they are tho members chosen by the
nominating committee.
Incloied with the ballot la a printed let
ter explaining ho views taken by the torn
mitteo in selecting Us candidates on the
"old-guard" slate.
Another trick "worked" on the ballot by
tl,rld B"rd." according to "llve-wlro"
leaders Is he failure to mention the busi
ness relations of a certain "s'nndiut" can

been allotted tolu publication of his busi
" under tho by- aws of the
Ch?mbreeraof0Conerce Is pr.ted the a.il.ia
tlon of this member to a club
This the progressive leaders assert, Indi
cates an attempt to win over the suppor
of the member of the club to the "old guard"
CaThe candidate referred to Is Howe Stew
art who is listed on the ballot as president
Sf 'the Poor Illchard Club. Mr Stewart Is
the head of the advertising department of
.- tilii wioirvViin tmu'&naner.
On the 'other hand, the "live wires" call
attention that tnis w ui.,........
agaTrit them, as W V Therklldson. one
of their candidates, la secetary of the Poor
Richard Club, but Is listed as a member
of the seed concern of W Atlee Burpee
Company. On the ll.t of candidates sept to
the preee following the nominations Mr
TherklklSm was mentioned as a member of
the Poor Itlchard Club.
We want the organization conducted
In a manner that puU everybody, the little

footing," eald A S Murphy, campaign man
airer for the "live wlree."
"Our principal activity U toward the
