Ho was then informed that a detective had been killed. man arrested with him were of his fac tion or were known to his faction or Im ported by them, said he had never heard of them before. Ho did not see them in the police station or before they were tnken there, but said he had been told by men of his side of tho fight that they were not of his faction. Othors of his men said they had never seen the prisoners before. Deutsch did not seem to realize the se riousness of the situation or that any re flection was cast on himself or his cohorts because his opponent hart been so severely beaten and a man killed. ' Some of his workers asserted that the police had gone Into tlio polling plai e to arrest the board, who were really nrrested l"er, and that Carey came up and denied tholr right lo interfere. It wns asserted by these friends of Deutsch in his automobile In his presence, though not In his hearing, that the fight followed thH Incident. DouUch, however, said he knew nothing of this or tho real facts. CARRY TOLLS Ob' ATTACK Seveial special policemen, negro women and white women and men who saw the shooting, asserted that Carej' was a good half square from the polling place when tho men came out of an alloj. The state ment of theee men bore out the statement f Cane, which follows as Carey told It: "I was walking along Do Lan. ev street JuBt off Slxtli, with Assistant Disttict t torney Mauler, when I heard running be PHONE DIAMOND 7200 BELL JUjHg sfTiflB jtf'fc ' ' ie .1 f '-'' ' hind me. Uefora I could turh I was struck violently across the head and knocked down. There were sir men In the crowd, and while I lay on the sidewalk they struck me three or four "times. Just at that time I heard th ! iiots. I saw the murdered man falling and told Jlounted Policemen Hajden, who is a negro, to arrest the man who had sti ucK mo and pulled a gun on me while I was down. He said, at this Harden told the man whc was beating me 'with the Jack ftot to beat me or shoot me, as he would lock mo up. He got me up and pulled tne over to the patrol box. t also remember the war the women screamed nnd called for help, and that several men ran up wearing speckled bats." The speckled hat has become famous In the Fifth already as the Deutsch hat, hav ing been adopted by many of Deutsch's followers. Care.v had been to the hospital when he granted this Interview and was seated in Magistrate Harrlgan's office. He had a big lump on his left eye which was rapidly turning a vivid blue. His head was entirely covered with bandages and u any one doubted whether he was beaten and badly cut by tho Jack thay merely needed one look at his shirt, coat and tie. His collar and shirt front wero red with blood, while tho front n,f his vest and coat were streaked. The coot was black, but the blood stained It a darker hue in streaks.

Ho took up the reins of tlie bailiwick Til BLACK & WHITE COMPANY on February 21 last inaugurated a highly efficient and moderately priced taxicab service, assuring the people of Philadelphia at that time that, if they would support this experiment by con sistent patronage, the Company would increase the number of cabs as fast as conditions warranted. Some of the most powerful interests in this city have endeavored to secure the withdrawal of our service by a flattering offer, but in a letter dated May 9th, which reads as follows, this offer was declined: ''It is felt that as the busi ness is a suooess, owing to the good-will of the riding publics, it is an obligation on the part of the Blaok and White Co. to v continue the operation of an .-. effeotive servioe at reasonable rates in Philadelphia; conse quently, we have decided not to change the present polioy of the oompany." The Black and White Company now announces that, as a result of the support given it by the residents of the city of Philadelphia, it has increased the number of cabs on September 1 5th to three times the number with which the service was started. The Black and White Company cannot afford to pay any commissions to hotels or restaurants, and the money which would ordinarily be expended in this direction is devoted to the general improvement of the service and the giving of these exceedingly low rates. Tlie public can, however, call us on the phone from any hotel, restaurant or railroad ter minal and a cab will be promptly dispatched by the company. We warn the riding public to beware of impostors and imi tators, and to be sure that the easily recognized Black and White monogram is on the door of the cab. pp&w Our telephone facilities) have been increased and improved.
