Violation of Shorn Act, Mis

of Court Charged
NO 'MURDER CONSPIRACY'
Mayor Smith nnd Mercantile Appraiser
William T2. I'lnley must fare conspiracy
charges out of Hie thuKgory In the "Bloody
Fifth" Ward nt the I.it primary olci-tlon
and the case will bo before the December
Grand Jury. x

Martin who presided at the hoarliiKs of
writs of habe.iH corpus broiiKht by the
Mayor and Flnlcy attacking the loR.illty of
tho proceeding broucht befoie Judge
Brown, pointed out that the charges against
the Major will consist of conspiracy to fo
late the Fhcrn act, misbehavior In olllcc,
and contempt of court.
Violation of tho Shorn act consisted In
permlttlnp; tho pollco to enter into politics,
the opinion says. Misbehavior in oltlce Is
based upon tho allescd refusal of the Mayor
to act when warned of danuer to citizens
In the Fifth Ward The charpe of contempt
of court Is based upon tho Mnyor's refusal
to produce the original reort made by
Detectlvo Souder on condition In the Fifth
Ward.
The charge of conspiracy to commit mur
der Is dismissed on tho ground that there
was not sufficient evidence.
Tho principal charge ngnlnst Flnley Ib
consplrarcy, which Is due to his alleged con
nection In nldlne tho gunmen to get out of
Philadelphia.
Tho Judge directs tho Mayor to enter
quired to enter $500 ball. In tho course of
his opinion Judge Martin said: "Tho fact
of conspiracy need not bo proved, but may
be collected from other circumstances, It
may bo established by proof of facts from
which a Jury may fairly Infer tho existence
of the offense. It Is seldom that express
proof can be secured. In fact, as plots are In
their nnture secret and dllllcult of discovery,
It has been uniformly held that though a
common design is or mo essence ot mo
charge, yet It Is not necessary to prove
that the defendants came together and ac
tually agreed In terms to have that design
and to pursue It by common means. In
nearly all cases a conspiracy must bo
proved by circumstantial evidence, that Is,
by the proof of facts from which It may
be fairly Implied that the defendants had
a common object, and that tho acts of each,
though they may be different In charncter,
wero all done In pursuance ot a common
end and calculated to effect tho common
purpose. Concurrence of nctlon of a ma

More Americans h.ivi- been killed and
wounded In brisk fighting which has broken
out along tho Vector the are holding iig.ilnst
the Germans.
A few more men, in addition to those I
vi ho fell In the recent German raid, have
been victims of heavy shelling ot their
trenches by Boche artlllciy. It was learned
today.
The Amerlcnn artillery Is lespondlng to
the German ilro and the exrh mgos of the
guns are Increasing Constantly
Battle activity Is Increasing In all
branches of trench activity along the sec
tor occupied by the Americans.
With tho cessation of heavy rains tho
Germans began hurrslng up their hereto

up the challenge In kind The exihange
waxed to a point of high intensity on sev
eral days It wns literally a baptism of
lire for the Sammees
With the Increaso In artlllerying crime
a corresponding acceleration In rlllo fire
from the front trenches and of snipers on
both sides There Is no way of telling tho
score achieved by tho American marksmen.
The Germans caught one Sammre, u snlptr's
bullet striking him dead.
The exact extent of the latest American
casualties has not been announced from
headquarters. It Is known, however, that
one German Fhell hitting squarely ill tho
American trench wounded several.
Tho Germans are known to have lost ono
dead and two wounded during the recent
actlv ity.
A small number of French nnd American
soldiers patrollng No Man's Laud ambushed
a German patrol of far superior strength
and shooting from shell holes put tho Bodies
to rout.
A mixed Franco-American patrol was
slipping over No Man'H Land In tho usual

One nlert member of the party caught the
sound of nn approaching enemy detachment.
With a few whispered words tho Americans
and French divided Into two sections, flop

waited until the Germans were well into tho

A greater unity Is needed between the

to be pushed to a successful conclusion, ac
cording to former President William How
ard Taft, who looks with favor upon the
Supreme War Council for the western
front, as outlined by Premier Lloyd George
tn dliqiatches from London today,
Mr. Taft Is at Bryn Mawr College today
nnd will deliver a lecture on "What the
United State Is Fighting For" In the gym
r.nslum of the Institution tonight under the
auspices of tho war council of the college.
Discussing the Lloyd George dispatches,
Mr. Taft said: "If the Allies are to push
the war to a successful conclusion a greater
unity Is needed. I think the proposal is
timely and will be looked upon with favor
by tho United States. Of course. It Is
largely a question ot method now and such
a council would aid materially In the as

MANY POLITICAL CHANGES
Leaders Speculating on How
Forces Will Line Up in Fu
ture Vares May Gain
State Senator James P McNIchol had de
cided to retire from politics when death
overtook him yesterday.
This announcement was made today by
Mgr William Kleran, rector of St. Patrick's
Catholic Church, who will deliver the eulogy
at the funeral services at the Cathedral
Saturday. Tho Republican political leader
expressed this Intention Inst Sunday on his
sickbed, according to Monslguor Kelran,
who was an intimate friend of tho late
Senator.
"Only last Sunday he told me, as he lay
In bed In his son's house, that he was
through, with politics," said the prelate In
paying tribute to Senator McN'Ichol's mem
ory. "He made this remark when I ex
pressed the thought to him that he should
give up politics.
" 'I am through.' he said 'There won't'
be any more political battles for me. I
think I have done my bit.1 "
What will be the extent ot the political
effect of 'the sudden death of Stnte Senator
James P. McNIchol upon the Republican
Organization n the i Ity nnd State? This
question ,was paramount today In political
circles.
That n sharp realignment In Pennsyl
vania politics Is Inevitable; that United
States Senator Boles Penrose has lost an
nllv of supreme Importance, nnd that It will
be difficult for him to find n succcsor of
equal strength all this was recognized as
a follow to the death of Senator McNIchol,
one of the strong men of Pennsylvania poll
tics In whose large personal following lay
the Penrose-McNIchol wing's power In
Philadelphia. . ,.
Senator Penrose, who Is In the city to
dvy. Is eipected to continue the "fight to
a finish" against the Vnrc-Brumbaugh
forces, In co-opcrntlon with the Independent
movement Tils war, beginning with Sen
ator Penroo's Indorsement of the Town
Meeting party, will be carried Into tho State
election two years hence. In spite of tho
handicap of the loss of McNIchol, his chief
lieutenant, who 'followed him Into the fray.
But will the McNIchol followers transfer
their allegiance to Penrose? Will the Mc
NIchol power remain after his death? Will
the personnl magnetism which he wielded
over 76,000 or 100,000 voters In Philadel
phia continue as n factor?
nxniiTHD gri:at influhncc
McN'Ichol's Influence was so great, his
following was so large and tho Independent
leaders with whom he was allied expected
so much from his followers In Councils
that these questions arose as' n natural
sequence to the announcement of his death.
Governor Brumbaugh and the entire State
Legislatuie Senato and House In a body
will attend the funeral, which will be held
Saturday with high lequlem mass at the
Catholic Cathedral of SS. Peter and Paul,
on Logan Squnre,
Senator McNlchol's body will be placed on
view nt the residence of his son, William J.
McNIchol, 1C37 Race street tomorrow eve
ning at 7 o'clock, for his many friends, nnd
particularly for the multitudes of families
living In the Tenth Ward to whom he was a
constant benefactor A heavy detail of
police will mount guard nt tho residence at
that hour and remain on duty throughout
tho night, to bo relieved by an even larger
guard of honor In the morning.
FUNF.RAL ARRANGKMHNTS MADE.
Arrangements were made today for the
funeral services. High requiem mass will
be celebrated In the Cathedral Saturday
morning nt 10 o'clock,- the celebrant being
Monslgnor Francis McNIchol, of New York,
a cousin of the late Senator. The hour
originally set was 9 o'clock. T,he Rev. John
F McQuade, pastor of St. Stephen's church,
w'Hl act as deacon. The Rev, John Dona
hue, of St, Paul, Minn., a brother of Mrs.
McNIchol, will act as subdeacon. The
eulogy will be pronounced by Monslgnor
William Kleran, of St. Patrick's church,
Philadelphia.
Absolution of the body will be given by
Archbishop Prendcrgast. The mass will
be sung by nn augmented choir, under the
direction of William Sylvano Thunder, or
ganist of the Cathedral.
In all probability, six of Senator Mc
NlchoVs sons will serve r.s tho active pall
bearers. It was nnnounced this afternoon
by Senntor McNlchol's private secretary,
Harry A. Connor. The sx sons who will
