"JIM" CLARK
IN PRISON FOR
rap munum run
Man With Eyeglasses Held
Without Bail for
Court
-If-WRIT
WILL BE SOUGHT
District Attorney to Ask Release
of Witness for Common
wealth James I. Clark, the "man with eye
Klasses" In the "Bloody Fifth" Ward case,
was held without ball for court on a charge
of conspiracy to commit murder this after
noon by Magistrate Stevenson In his office
at 3947 Lancaster avenue. He was re
committed to Moyamenslng prison to await
the action of the November Grand Jury.
Immediately after tho hearing Clark's
counsel, Thomas J. Mlnnlck, Jr.. prepared
an application for a writ of habeas corpus,
which was supported by Assistant District
Attorney James Clay Gordon. Jr., Indicating
that District Attorney Rotan was in favor
of allowing tho release In ball of Clark, who
is an Important witness for the Common
wealth In the murder conspiracy case
against Mayor Smith and his eight codo
fendants. "We will appear before a Quarter Ses
sions Court tomorrow and recommend $6000
ball," said Mr. Gordon. Clark's counsel
Bald bond had been arranged.
Tho proceedings Involving Clark this aft
ernoon constituted a mere skirmish In what
promises to bo one of the big battles In
the case tomorrow, when Samuel G. Mn
loney, head of tho Val O'Farrell Detective
Agency bureau here, and Clark's employer,
Is arraigned before Maglstrato Watson on
charges of murder conspiracy preferred by
the Department of Public Safety.
Hint of the probable action to bo taken
by District Attorney Rotan was given this
afternoon at an Important conference In tho
District Attorney's office. Mr. Rotan, It
was said, will endeavor to obtain an order
restraining Magistrate Watson from allow
ing Representative John R. K. Scott to ap
pear as Counsel for the Department of rub
ric Safety or to question any of the many
witnesses summoned by Scott, acting as
the prosecutor's counsel. The Tullng of
Judge J. Willis Martin refusing to recog
nise any, one but District Attorney Rotan
as counsel for the police will be cited. It
was said.
District .Attorney Rotan, who declared
that his Investigation and prosecution of
the caso Is being blocked by the police,
would not indicate what his action would
bo tomorrow.
"I will not discuss what wo will do to
morrow," he said lato this afternoon, Just
before engaging In a final conferenco with
his entire staff of assistants, together with
counsel for Maloney. He takes the stand
that he is Maloney's legal and official prose
cutor. The Vare-Smlth camp, on the other hand.
Issued subpoenas right and left for the
hearing, calling many of the Common
wealth's witnesses to testify In the murder
conspiracy charges against Maloney.
Tho witnesses summoned by Maloney's
accusers Include State Representative
Isadore Stern, District Attorney's De
tective Joseph McClaln and many news
papermen. More than 200 witnesses will
b- called. It was said, Indicating that the
Maloney hearing will last for days, as did
the murder conspiracy charges against the
Mayor and his codefendants.
A rumor that the Varc-Smith camp ex
pected to prove a "frame-up" of the charges
against tho Mayor by causing "Mike' Sul
livan, one of the Commonwealth's star
witnesses, to testify to that effect at the
Maloney hearing was discounted by Hnrry
D. Wescott, Sullivan's counsel. He said
that he had heard nothing of It, or tnat
the police had attempted to arrest or other
wise Intimidate Sullivan, as It wai charged
they have been doing In tho case of Ma
loney. PRESS MEM WAIVE HEARING
The Ave officials and editors of The Press,
accused by State Senator Edwin H. Vare
of libel, were held today In $1500 ball
each by Magistrate Coward for the action
of the Grand Jury. They waived a hearing.
The five men accused are Alden March,
president and editor: Samuel Calvin Wells,
associate editor; Robert H. Kruger, secretary-treasurer;
J. W. Magers, business
manager, and Richard J. Beamish, re
porter. The charges, based upon the newspaper's
account of testimony at the murder con
spiracy hearing of Mayor Smith and his
Associates, were that Senator Vare's name
was not mentioned In "Sam" Maloney's tes
timony as coming from Isaac Deutsph, but
that Maloney himself said that' Deutsch
meant Vare when he said that "the little
fellow" would attend to the payment of tho
"strong-arm" men.
"If any witness had had the brazenness
and criminality to name Senator Vare he
would havo been arrested for perjury when
Jie stepped from the witness stand," de
clared Representative John R. K. Scott,
Vare's counsel. Senator Vare sat upon a
front seat at tho hearing, a cigar In his;
moutn. xtie defendants were represented
by Robert T. McCracken, serving In the ab
sence of Owen J. Roberts, their counsel.
The prosecution called only three wit
nesses. Byron A. MUner, of 713 South
Thirteenth street, and Harry Snow, 22tf
South Broad street, a telephone operator In
Senator Vare's office, testified that they
had bought copies of the newspaper con
taining the alleged libel. Lewis Hopper,
1515 Arch street, stenographer for the
Mayor and other defendants In the murder
conspiracy, hearing, was Introduced as wit
ness whon McCracken waived hearing.
Ball for the five men was furnished by
the United States Fidelity and Guaranty
Company through Its Philadelphia repre
sentative, J Walter Zebley.
ROTAN HOLDS CONFERENCES
Much speculation was caused today by
the conferences that District Attorney
Rotan held behind closed doors. Of them
he would say nothing except he was shaping-
up the murder conspiracy charges
gainst Mayor Smith and his associates
that are to be presented to the Grand Jury
next month for Indictment.
Men close to the District Attorney today
aid that Mr. Rotan Is facing a stiff fight
far the Investigation, which has developed
Into a three-cornered affair, with the Vare
Smith camp on one side, the Penrose-Mc-Nlchol
wing on the other and the District
Attorney's office occupying the middle
ground. In the midst of the volleys of ac
cuatlons and counter-accusations. So far.
It was pointed out. Mr, Rotan has faced the
most determined opposition In his efforts
to probe Into the charges against the
Mayor, the entire Vare-Smlth city, admin
istration blocking him at every step in
spite of assurances of co-operation. The
Interference by the Vare-Smlth police with
Ma witnesses, withholding of witnesses'
swats, alleged intimidation and terrorlta
Uo of witnesses by the police and accusa
tions by Vare's counsel, Representative
sott, qf the District Attorney's alleged sup.
iwesslon of evidence favorable to the Mayor,
were cited as examples of the opposition en
aaatered by the District Attorney.
It Is known that the District Attorney
swvar uses the telephone wire that runs
from his office through the Electrical
Jtureau when lie discusses Fifth Ward mat
tews over the telephone, but uses a private
wum. Mr. Rotan has discounted rumors
that bis wires have been "tapped" by per
bus "listening In" on his conversation, but
n takes the precaution of using a wire
that doss sot run through the bureau,
which uatursJIy la controlled by ths city
slmmlHtratlon,
tu man with lysjtlnns," who will re.
ta Jttf oMar
of the writ of habeas corpus in his favor,
was taken from and to Moyamentlng Prison
In -n, taxlcab by District Attorney's Detec
tive Joseph McClaln. He Is tt brother of
City Detective Harry Clark and Is, or was,
an employe of the Val O'Farrell Detective
Agency Bureau here, with Maloney ns his
fVof. Testifying as a witness for the
Commonwealth at the hearing of the murder
conspiracy charges against Mayor Smith
and ths eight other city officials and em
ployes, ho said that under Maloney's orders
he acted as pilot for the "strong-arm" men
In tho Fifth Ward. He Is accused of hav
ing pointed out Mercantile Appraiser James
A. Carey for attack.
Clark gnlned the descriptive title of the
'Vnan with eyeglasses" through tho first
confession obtained from any of the seven
gunmen under arrest It was that of "Lefty"
dl Roma (Costello), one of the pair of
"Frog Hollow Musketeers" captured Imme
diately after the killing of Detective Eppley
on prlmnry election day, September 19. In
a statement to detectives he said that tho
gunman "mob" had beon taken to the
Deutsch Club In the Firth Ward, where a
"man with eyeglasses" directed the work
of the "strong-arm" men. This phrase,
"man with eyeglasses," figured prominently
In the caso long before Clark's arrest, with
out being" Identified with htm.

JERSEY DEER SEASON ON
t
Hunters Get Early Start for Sport
Today
MANUMUSKIN, N. J., Oct. 17. Hunters
started for the woods late yesterday In
order to make an early start of the deer
season, which opens today and will continue
for the remaining two Wednesdays In
October and the first Wednesday in No
vember. Few cimps will be established In the deer
woods this season In view of the fact that
there is only one day's open hunting each
week. Most of the hunters who started to
day made the trip In autos.
Because the foliage Is still dense and af
fords excellent cover for the deer, some of
the gunners in Cumberland County have
revived the agitation Btatred a few years
ago to have revoked the State law which
prohibits the hunting of deer with dogs.
Sportsmen generally In this region, however,
will back up the law.

GERMAN PRISON
JVIember of Crew Captured
by Moewe Escapes From
Lubeck Camp
SAFE AT STOCKHOLM
By WILLIAM G. SHEPHERD
STOCKHOLM, Oct. 17.
Tho first American to escape from a Ger
man prison camp, housing prisoners taken
by the German raider Moewe, reached here
today, after having spent six waterless days
concealed In tho hold of a Bhlp arriving
from Kiel. He was Wlllet Charles Smith,
of Norwnlk, Conn.
"None of tho American prisoners at Lu
beck have died," Smith declared, "but their
Uvea were only saved by packages sent
from kind-hearted Britishers via Berno.
"Our guards at Lubeck weren't for the
war. They would say, 'To with the
Kaiser; this Is a rich man's war In Ger
many; wo want it ended."
Smith was the happiest man In the world
when ho reached Stockholm and freedom.
"Vou can tell the folks back home," ho
told me, "that Barnoy Boyle, of Des Moines;
Bill Fitzgerald, of New York; Oscar Bird,
of Charleston, W. Va., and Walter and
Harry Mason, both of Baltlmoro, aro still
In Lubeck prison and all doing fairly well,
all things considered."
Fed up with all tho good things fellow
Americans could offer him here, nftcr all
the lean, near-starvation days of his prison
camp fnro and six very, very meager days
of Spartnn-llke rations without witter whllo
he lay In tho utter darkness of the vessel
which brought him here, Kmlth blossomed
out today Into the world's greatest ex
ponent of happiness.
Ho laughed away his tribulations and
hardships In tho camp and In escaping.
"How did we come to land in a German
prison? Well, we that Is, tho bunch I'vo
Just mentioned all met In Baltlmoro last
winter. We had a good many drinks one
day and In wandering around wo saw a
sign 'Men Wanted to Ship to Liverpool on
a British Steamer.'
"On tho spur of the moment and the
inspired daredevil spirit we joined,
"Our outbound trip was fine business.
But coming home our ship was captured by
tho German cruiser Moewe. We were all
herded aboard her and taken to Kiel. There
we were put ashoro with 600 others. Later
wo wero transferred to a prison camp."
Smith stopped to chuckle remlnlscently.
"I Bpcnt fourteen days In a dark cell
for one previous unsuccessful attempt to
escape," he remarked.
And he laughed again, louder than ever,
as he continued:
"You know our gang of fellows who
Jolneil up that winter day In Baltimore
often wished In camp that Baltimore had
gono dry last November.
"I was loading a German ship with fer
tilizer when my chance came to escape,"
Smith said. "I hid myself in the smelly
hold and here I am. I didn't have any
water for six days but I'm, here."
