At the hearing both Brown and .Inffee

tho boy was treated for gastritis, when he
was removed to the liospltnl and operated

"Just n little, while before my boy died,"
Mr Magulre said, "he whispered, 'Father,
I shouldn't bet lying tiero this way now If I
had been treated differently I unnt nu
to look Into It after I nm gone.' "
Major Frecoln. head regimental surgeon.
shld that young Magulre reported his Illness
only n d.iy before ho was removed to ilio

He had emptied his revolver at the fleeing
murderer, who ran Into Jaffee's house.

where he died.
The police say the case Is one of the most

the Tiost popular men on the force.
Although mortally wounded. McCartney
was able to furnish the names and descrip

them all.

According to the police, Jaffee and Hrown
were arrested at their respective homes not
long after the shooting occurred. The po

the detective left them after reloading his
revolver and threatened to shoot them If
they "peached."
The arrests were made by Lieutenant

CAREY-DEUTSCH 'SCRAP'
IN POLICE TRIAL BOARD
Case of Policeman's Transfer
Renews Charges in Fifth Ward
Factional Fight
The factional fight between .lames A.
Carey. MrNlchol candidate for Select Coun
cil from the Fifth Ward, nnd Isnnc Deutsch,
Vare candidate ngulnst him, cropped up be
fore the Pollen Trial Board today
This wns In the case of Thomas .1 Nlhlll,
a policeman who was transferred fiom the
Third and De Ijincey stieets rlnllmi where,
the Carey faction charges, Lieutenant Ben
nett Is openly islng the police to aid
Deutsch, to the Germaiitown station Nlhlll
was charged with nheiico without leave.
It wan testified at the hearing that Nlhlll,
nfter being tiansferred. failed to appear
In tJermantonn for duty, nnd that nfter
nn absence nf four clays he wns reported for
tilnl. In the meantime, however, he had
ptesented his resignation, but it was not
accepted He also nsked his lieutenant to
accept Ills resignation before his hearing
today, he said, but It was not nccpeted.
11 Is expected that ho will be dropped from
the department The bonrd will icport Its
finding In the ense to Director of Public
Safety Wilson and he will make the an
nouncement The belief that Nlhlll will be dismissed
Is based on the fact that Director Wllon
Is considered a Vare man nnd Carey hench
men charge that Nlhlll was moved from tho
district because It was doubtful whether he
would aid the Deutsch faction.
The fight In the Fifth still seems to be
n tie affair, with the bigger politicians of
the city keeping hands off nnd showing little
leal liiterett or Intention of Interfering.
It now looks ns though both the McNIchol
and Vale factions wnnt to see what their
chosen leaders In the-ward can do toward
establishing their supremacy without out
side help.
In the cases before the County Coin
mlsslonei.s for changing polling places,
which weio filed by Deutsch. the commis
sioner!! seemed to attempt to take the mid
dle of the road as near as possible. Four
of the seven places condemned by Deutsch
were ordered discontinued by the commls
Hioners In favor of places suggested by
Deutsch. In the remaining three cases tho
commissioners refused to put their O K.
lo the changes. TI19 icmoval of the places
was fought sternly by Carey.
The Carey faction today claimed that
preparations arc being made by them to
take advantage of the offer made by Mayor
Smith to consider transferring or dismiss
ing Lieutenant Bennett, of the Third and
De Ijncey streets station, for activity of the
police on behalf of Deutsch. If atlldavlls
c.f sufficient strength weie placed before
him. They say they nre now having affi
davits prepaied.

POLICE TRIAL BOARD
HAS ACTIVE SESSION
Seven Policemen and One Street
v Sergeant Tried on Neglect
Charges
Seven policemen and one stieet seigeant
from the Fiont and Westinoi eland streets
station were before the Police Trial Board
today on charges of neglect of duty. One
or two of them may bndlst-barged. It is
thought, though the dcclblon of the board
will not he made public until It has re
ceived the approval of Director Wilson.
The charges against the men resulted
from n four-page letter complaining of the
falluie of Policeman James Greenwald to
properly attend to his beat. Sergeants Sut
ton. Biluton and Coxe, nctlng as Inspectois,
investigated the charges against Greenwald,
and while doing so secured evidence against
the others.
Greenwald explained that he was off his
beat because he had two beats assigned to
him on tile date on which he was charged
with not attending to duty. The Inspectors,
however, testified that he was watching a
building operation at the time they saw him,
Julian W. Hahn was tiiarged with being
In the public park at Fifth street and Alle
gheny avenue, away from his beat, He ex
plained that he was detailed there to keep
older while n band conceit was taking
place. The Inspectors, however, testified
that the concert was not given on the night
which their charges referred to. The others
furnished excuses which are considered
likely to pass Inspection of tho board. They
were Sorgcant Harold Walker and Police
men William H. Koehler, F.dwnrd W. Hoi
try, Daniel J. Stephenson, Ttlchard Mooney
and Joseph L. Mullln.
Policeman James Murphy, of the Sixty
first and Thompson streets station, was be
fore the board charged with Intoxication
while on duty and conduct unbecoming an
officer on the night of August 6. It was
testified that he was intoxicated and got
Into a fight with some civilians, sent In a
riot call and then appealed to some privates
of the National Guard, wha were at Fifty
second and Market streets, where the In
cident took place, to help him. When the
patrol wagon arrived Murphy was said to
have been found lying In a narrow alley
where the soldiers had placed him.
Tho board was composed of Captain
George F, Tempest, president of the board ;
Lieutenant William Dlnlocker and Lieu
tenant John Benblng.

FAVOR MILL INCREASE
IN CITY SCHOOL TAX
High Cost of Public Education
Makes Step Necessary, Say
Board Members
An Inciease.of one mill In the school
tax In this city Is favored hy Simon Grntz,
vice piesldent. and other members of the
Board of Education, according to an of
ficial announcement. The present tax is
five mills.
Mr. Gratz said the Increase Is needed
to meet the expenses of the board for 1018.
In this attitude ho was also supported
by Henry R. Kdmunds, president of the
board, ,
The Increase would mean that the school
tax In Philadelphia wtiuld be sixty Instead
of fifty cents on each $100 worth of prop
erty, and the combined school and city
taxes would be J1.8B Instead of Jl 75, the
rate which exists now.
Vhe Board of Education Is empowered to
make Its own tax rate by net of nssembly
Mr. Grata In making the'announcement
said that tho high cost of nnbiin oin..niir.

co"l supply would cost approximately $200
u nunc inuii iasi year, ho explained Be
eldes, the salaries of the 5000 teachers cut
a big slice Into the annual expenditures, he
said, and building materials have Increased
almost In every line.
"There seems to be a disposition In the
board to favor the Increase." Mr. Gratz
said, "The Finance Committee has long
discussed ways and means of overcoming
ncreased expenditures and the Increase in
