These new charges against Patrol man Jones were preferred at last eve ning's meeting ot council, u'liey con sist of two amdavlts signed Dy Benja min F. Lapp, a special officer employed by the Pennsylvania Steel Company and Steve Pop, a watchman at ino. t> watch box ot the Steel Works. The affidavits corroborate each otner and make the specific charge that Patrolman Jones, on the night of August 6 and the morning of August 7, just two days ago, was seen in a visibly intoxicated condition while on duty, and that he spent a greater part of that night sleeping on a porch op posite No. o watch box near the Mer chant Mill of the Pennsylvania Steel Company. The production of these affidavits by Mr. Wagenbach, the councilman from the Tnird Ward, In which, by the way, the officer lives, started one of the bitterest clashes ever seen on the floor of Steelton's council. Only six members of council a bare quorum—were present and time and again Mr. Nelley or Mr. Wagenbach left their place at the council table, breaking the quorum. Bitter Words Pass Bitter words passed between Messrs. Wagenbach and Nelley and Messrs. Reisch and Sellers and the direct charge was made by Mr. Wagenbach that politics and not the merits of the case were being considered in the re tention of Patrolman Jonc», who lias come unscathed through two investi gations and an involuntary resignation. The counter charge that politics had something to do with the cnarges was flashed back by Mr. Nelley. In a trice both men were on their feet hurling bitter personalities across the council table at each other. That something out of the ordinary was scheduled, was made evident shortly after council convened. As the meeting came to order, Messrs. Reisch and Wagenbach handed two affidavits to Charles R. Holton, assist ant secretary to council, in a few sec onds there was a buzz around the council table and some or tne mem bers were noticeably not paying much attention to the routine business. Affidavits Passed The affidavits were passed around to the councilmen who knew nothing of the charges. A few second later Mr. Nelley, chairman of the police com mittee left his chair and slipped down stairs to the police headquarters. This broke the quorum but business went on Just the same and a number of Im portant questions were discussed, A few minutes later the police commit tee chairman returned and engaged in a. whispered consultation with Acting President Sellers at the head of the table. Business lagged ana tne coun cilmen sat Idly around the table. Suddenly the few spectators and newspapermen sat up wltn a Jerk. Ad Mr. Reisch, councilman from the Fifth Ward rose to his feet, they realized that a fight was on. "Mr. President,' inquired the Fifth W r ard man, "what is the deiay? Why don't we go on with our business? Can three members of this council tie up everything Let's go ahead." "Yes, Mr. President," added Mr. Wagenbach with fine sarcasm, "I don't think this whispering here is in order. We are all representatives of the peo ple and have a right to know what is going on." "Why we are just having a little recess," answered Mr. Sellers rroni the chair. "But this is out of order,' insisted Mr. Wagenbach, "there should be no whispering in council." "Perhaps this doesn't concern you," angrily returned Mr. Sellers. "Yes It does," shot back Mr. Reisch, "We are all representing the people and everything here shoud be above board." As the debate was waxing personal, it was ended abruptly by Mr. Hender son, chairman of the Highway com mittee, who asked that he be permit ted to go ahead with his committee report. For forty-five minutes Mr. Henderson spoke and the otner mem bers of council regained tneir com posure. While the highway commtttee chair man delivered his report, tne quorum was repeatedly broken. Mr. Nelley again left the room to visit tne police headquarters. Returning he whisper ed with Borougii Secretary Charles P. Feldt who then slipped out of the room and returned with a note which ne handed to Mr. Henderson while he was speaking- John A. Parthemore, chairman of the Clover Club committee, was then given the privilege of the floor to ask that his committee be exonerated from paying a license fee for its carnival which is exhibiting this week. While Mr. Parthemore spoke Secretary Feldt again tip-toed out of the room, re turned in a few seconds and held a whispered consultation wltn Mr. Nel ley. Then a salesman wan permitted to" speak. But no one heard what he was saying. The tension of the im pending fight was growing acute. As someone moved to refer the salesman's offer to a committee to clear the decks for action a telephone tinkled in a far corner of the room. Borough Secretary Feldt answered it with muffled voice. Then he glided over to Mr. Nelley and whispered some more. Again Nelley went out. As the police committee chairman left the room dense quiet ensued. For a few minutes no one spoke and the tension became acute. Councilmen squirfned in their chairs, toyed with books on the table In front of them Lclninger, of the Department of State has returned to the office after a short illness. Mr. Jones Here. Representative E. E. Jones, of Susquehanna county, was at the Capitol to-day on business connected with his district. A Hundred Contacts. A serious condition seems to have arisen in the Skippack smallpox case. Dairyman Ludwlg had been serving milk to a ho tel which is much patronized by auto mobile parties. Over 100 persons are believed to have come Into contact. Revoked License. State Highway Commissioner Cunningham to-day re voked the automobile license of Dick Stiles, of Strongstown, Pa. Informa tion had been received by the State Highway Department that Stiles had been fined SIOO for operating a car while intoxicated. He failed to ap pear at the Department when notified and sent no explanation, in conse quence of which the State Highway i Commissioner revoked the license. and otherwise showed their nervous ness. Then someone coughed. The tension was broken. A second later Mr. Wagenbach rose to his feet and the battle opened anew. "While things are at a standstill," slowly began the Fifth Ward man In his strongly accented tones, "I would like to know something about the legality of the reinstatement or reap pointment of Patrolman Jones." A lengthy discussion, a forerunner to the bitterness which followed, ensued and ended In a resolution asking Borough Solicitor F. B. Wlckersham for another opinion on the status of Mr. Joneß in regard to council's action last month, when he was placed back on the force by Mr. Sellers, acting president, casting a votu breaking a tie. The solicitor has already ruled that the action was legal. At tho close of this discussion Mr. Nelley resumed his seat. In a few seconds he was In the dlbcusslon with Mr. Wagenbach, who mauo tne sug gestion that "we had better euro our ordinance books if that action was legal." The affidavits were then read at the suggestion of Mr. Nelley. As Assist ant Secretary Holton completed read ing of the documents, Mr. Nelley moved that they be referred to the police committee for an investigation. The debate then opened. Wagenbach vs. Nelley Mr. Wagenbach sprang to his feet before Mr. Nelley's motion was second ed. He demanded that Officer Jones be dismissed immediately nua uncon ditionally. "This council," shouted he, "has been smuggling with this case for a year and eight months. We are here to do the best for the people of this town. Are we doing it We have to pay that man for doing hlB duty. Is he doing it?" Here the Third Ward councilman swung Into the best oratorical effort heard in Steelton's council chamber since P. S. Blackwell's famous "swan song." At the height of his speech he shouted: "This Jones' retention Is a dirty political scheme." In a flash Mr. Nell.ey • was on his feet to defend tho actions or ills com mittee. He bitterly scored Mr. Wagenbach for forming his conclusions without Investigation and demanded to know whether or not he had any further evidence. Mr. Wagenbacn admitted that he had not and that he had not conducted any investigation of the cir cumstances surrounding the making of the affidavits. Then raising his voice the police committee chairman countercharged to Mr. Wagenbach: "But It is a politi cal matter with you." Springing to his feet and leaning far across the table, the Third Ward member shouted directly Into the face of Mr. Kelley, "It Is not." "It Is!" thundered Mr. Nelley. "It isn't!" shrieked Mr. Wagen bach. Then the two men 6tood facing each other across the narrow table, pounded the wood with their fists and glared at each other. For an instant it looked as though blows would pass. Another pause broke the tension then: "Well my veracity is a« good as yours," belligerently shouted Nelley. "And mine as yours,' returned Wag enbach. "I want you to understand,' retorted Mr. Nelley as he steadily thumped tho table with his fist, "that these prior charges were tried before me police committee, and politics or no politics, the case was judged solely upon the evidence that came in here." Further personalities were cut short by Mr. Henderson who obtained tne floor and in a quiet speech, restored order. He carefully reviewed the en tire Jones Incident and declared that if the new charges can be sustained he will vote to dismiss the officer. Mr. Henderson cautioned sober, calm ac tion and cut matters short Dy second ing the motion to have a special meet ing of the police committer and urged that it be held this evening. Have to Go After Wagenbach After some further deDaie during which Mr. Sellers turned over the chair to Mr. Nelley and too* the floor himself the question was n.nally put and carried. As the question carried Mr. Wagenbaugh who voted for im mediate action, left his chair angrily and started to leave the room. This broke the quorum—and no bills had been paid. He was persuaded to re turn by Mr. Henderson until the ses sion ended. He hurried matters along so fast, however, that several im portant matters were left not acted Bills to the amount of $2,272.09 were ordered paid. The borough solicitor was Instructed to draw a petition for the adoption of a street In the Buser plot Into the borough. A contract to repair the houses at 268-70 Mam street was let to J. G. Keller and B. C. Bloser. Little else was done on ac count of the police Incident. Early in the meeting the finance committee w*as authorized to borrow $lO 000 "as it may be needed to carry on the affairs of the borough." STEELTON WOMAN IS LATEST VICTIM [Continued From First Page-1 months has been terrorizing Steelton and South Harrisburg. This time, while three men slept soundly in an adjoining room and an 8-year-old child slumbered peacefully a few feet away, the grim nocturnal visitor gained entrance to the bed chamber of pretty Mrs. John Patter son of 401 Francis street. Steelton. And while the entire household slept the intruder flitted from room to room ransacking trunks, bureau drawers and trouser pockets as he went. Hits Victim With Ax Then, In that strange, gruesome manner by which he marks all of his midnight raids, the "Hatchet Fiend" seized a long-handled, heavy pole ax and brought it down with a dull thud upon the head of the sleeping Mrs. Patterson. Before she could utter even a groan, the frenzied fiend swung the ax again. Not satisfied with his work, he struck Several more blows. Mrs. Patterson is in the Harrisburg Hospital with deep lacerations of the scalp, possible fractured skull and concussion of the brain. Then, as quietly and as mysteriously as he came, the grim visitor left. Moving noiselessly and deliberately, he removed a long, light ladder from the balcony, over which he had gained entrance to the woman's room, car ried it across the street and placed It In a narrow alleyway alongside the home of Walter Smith, of 417 Chris tian street, where it was found by the police this morning. This undertaking Completed, the po lice think, the mysterious flend walked across to the home of (Jharles Hoff man, of 403 Francis street, the other side of the double frame dwelling in which the attack upon Mrs. Patterson was made. Anyway the midnight raider, in some noiseless way. removed the screen from a window of the Hoffman home and gained entrance. Again he flitted from room to room over the entire second floor. Al though a number of persons were sleeping in the house none were awak ened and none were disturbed. Money and Jewels Gone This morning when they awoke, however, they found their sleeping quarters In disorder. Everything bad AUGUST 40,1915. been ransacked. A number of rings and $1.19, everything of value In the house, had been stolen from Mrs. Charles Hoffman and a number of trinkets of value were taken from her husband. Frank Froh. a boarder, lost a small sum of money and some rings. Some time shortly after 3 o'clock this morning, Milan Putnlc, John Put nlc and Martin Fesney, three men who board with Mrs. Patterson, were awakened by loud groans. Dressing they went to their bedroom door, crossed the hall and attempted to en ter the room from which the sounds came. The door was locked. After pounding loudly they awoke 8-year old Jennie Bowman, a ward of Mrs. Patterson. The child opened the door. Inside the men found Mrs. Patter son laying with her head upon blood reddened pillows. Her hair was mat ted and little streams of red trickled to the floor. She was unconscious. Dr. B. T. Dickinson was called and Immediately ordered the woman taken to the hospital. Husbnnd "Somewhere In Franco" The police were notified and Chief H. P. Longnaker, Constable John Gib and Detective I. N. Durnbaugh. ex-chief of police, were early on the Job. They learned that John Patter son, the injured woman's husband, is now "somewhere In France" fighting for the Fatherland. Some eighteen months ago the Pattersons learned that they had fallen heir to ft small fortune In Germany. The husand sailed to claim the legacy. Before his ship touched the soli of the Fatherland war clouds sprung up and the Euro pean conflict was on. As Mr. Patter son was young and not yet outside the Kaiser's laws, he was pressed Into service. Now he's In France, accord ing to the last letter to his young wife. Nearly Dozen Victims Last night's attack runs the "Hatchet Fiend's" list of victims up to near the doaen mark and the peo ple of Rteelton and South Harrlsburg are much excited over the strange visi tor's work. Hundreds were attracted to the scene of last night's crime to-day. Talk or forming: vigilance committees was heard and it is likely that the State police will be asked to aid in running down the fiend. Detective I. N. Durn baugh, who has been working on the ca ®.® we **ks 1® following out a clue and hopes to make an arrest. The list of victims so far Includes .
