Actor Flatly Denies Serious
Charge Made by Young
Girls.
TELLS STRAIGHT STORY
Says Children Went Auto Riding
With Him and Visited His Hom
IVith tlio Consent
Their Parents.
of
NEW YORK, June 9. Taking the
witness-stand today in his own defense,
Raymond Hitchcock, the actor, flatly
denied the charges made asainst him
that he had been improper in his con
duct with two young- girls, Helen von
Hagen. and Elsie Voecks. Hitchcock
appeared as a witness shortly after the
closing of the state's case in the trial
of the actor today. It is expected; that
the case will go to the jury tomorrow.
Hitchcock made an excellent wit
ness, arguing the questions put to him
clearly and unhesitatingly. He stated
that he first met the Von Hasen girl
In 1904 and that long- afterward she
met him at the Garden Theater and
he asked her to ride with him in his
automobile. The actor said he told
her to ask her mother If she might
go. She returned with Elsie Voecks,
saying- she had obtained consent to
make the trip.
Mothers Not Deceived.
Hitchcock said that after a visit to
his house In the afternoon, he started
to put the girls on the train for New
York. He reiterated that their mothers
knew where they were. The last train
having gone, the girls remained at hl3
home that night. Afterward, he met
them and told them he had heard that
they had made remarks reflecting upon
his character. The girls, he declared,
denied making any disparaging re
marks. Hitchcock denied that his relations
with either of the girls had been Im
proper. Wife Takes the Stand.
Flora Zabelle, Hitchcock's wife, testified
briefly, corroborating wnat her husband
told her of his meeting with the young
girls and of the automobile ride.
Of the witnesses called today, tho
most important was Elsie Voecks, aged
14, one of the defendant's alleged vic
tims. She told of visits made in com
pany with Helen Von Hagen. who tes
tified yesterday to visiting Hitchcock's
home at Great Neck, L. I., and a house
on Forty-first street, where they met
the actor on several occasions. In some
respects her testimony corroborated
that given by Jliss Von Hagen, but on
cross-examination she became badly
confused several times.
Never Wronged Her.
Tn reply to a direct question by
Hitchcock's counsel whether Hitchcock
ever wronged her, she replied that he
never did. She said also that Helen
Von Hagen never told her of anything
wrong having taken place when she
had first visited the Forthy-First-
street house. She contradicted the tes
timony of Miss Von Hagen with refer
ence to an alleged attempt of Hitch
cock to enter their room one night
when they were at Great Neck. She
said she never told anyone, not even
the grand jury, that Hitchcock had at
tempted to enter their room.
Tells or Auto Ride.
Miss Voecks told of a ride to Great
Neck. I. I., in Mr. Hitchcock's automo
bile with Hitchcock and Miss Von Hagen,
as described by the latter yesterday.
They had to walk back to New York,
the witness said, and a few days later
they went to Brooklyn to visit the actor
at the Montauk Theater, where he was
playing. Miss Voecks then passed to the
description of a meeting at Mr. Hitch
cock's room in Manhattan, on which oc
casion Miss Von Hagen had testified that
Hitchcock attempted to assault Miss
Voecks. This evidence was corroborated
by the witness today, with little devia
tion in the story as told yesterday tiy
Miss ,Von Hagen.
Chanler May Testify.
In the course of her examination yes
terday, Miss von Hagen said site met a
Mr. William Chanler In Hitchcock's Great
Neck residence, on a certain Sunday. To
day counsel for William Astor Chanler
had a conference with Hitchcock's attor
neys, at which the testimony was dis
cussed, and as a result it is expected that
Mr. Chanler. will be called by the defense
to contradict the girl's testimony.
DIVIDES THE RACE VOTE
(Continued Krom First Page.)
lngton, general counsel for all the con
testing Taft delegations. Mr. McHarg
had not been informed by the political
managers of the Impending settlement
and during his argument before the
committee declared that there would
bo no compromise whatever, stating
that he had visited the South "at th
request of the next President of the
United States," his words plainly re
ferring to the Secretary of War,
Senator W. D. Heyburn, of Idaho,
leaped tg his feet the instant Mr. M'Harg
concluded his argument. The Senator was
livid with wrath and protested vehement
ly against the language used by the gen
eral counsel, declaring that It was noth
ing less than a "bold threat. Intended to
compel the committee to do as he de
sired." The Taft men on the committee at once
attempted to smooth it over, but Sena
tor Scott, of West Virginia, refused to
be reconciled and declared that he be
lieved that Mr. M'Harg had spoken ex
actly as he thought, and that he waa
attempting to browbeat the committee.
Left In Dark by Taft Men.
Iater Mr. M'Harg, in adressing the
committee on the Mississippi contest, of
fered a graceful apology, saying that he
had spoken merely as coungel and not
for the Secretary of War.
This closed the incident entirely, ex
cept when Mr. M"Harg called upon the
Taft managers and expressed his opinion
of their conduct In letting him go before
the committee to make an argument lTno
that without being possessed of full and
accurate information of what the Taft
people purposed to do.
The division on the Louisiana compro
mise was the first test of strength that
has been made since the committee met.
and this was not decisive, because' some
of the Taft men voted for the settle
ment. The vote was taken at the con
clusion of the hearing of the contest from
Mississippi. The Alabama men called for
a division and 30 members of the commit
tee arose to their fet in favor of seat
ing the Taft delegation. The call for the
opposition was made and no one rose,
and the Taft men were then assured they
had 30 votes in the committee.

man New was compelled by business
affairs to leave the committee,' he
called upon Judson W. Lyons, of
Georgia, the only colored man on the
committee, to preside over the. delib
erations. Mr. Lyons presided during
the hearing of the Mississippi con
tests and acquitted himself In a most
creditable manner. ,
Out for Second Place: '
The' opening of headquarters for
John Hays Hammond, of Massachu
setts, during the day brought the
Vice-Presidential situation to the
front. He was the first to avow his
candidacy in a definite form, but co
incident with his activity came the
movement In behalf of Governor Cur
tis Guild, of Massachusetts, who will
be strongly urged when the full force
of the delegation from his state ar
rives late in the week.
. The New York candidates, tentative
and otherwise, are numerous. George
B. Cortelyou, Secretary of the Treas
ury, is also busy, as is J. Sloat Fas
sett. The East also has brought for
ward another possibility in the person
of Franklin Murphy, ex-Governor of
New Jersey and National committee
man from that state.
From the West, J. P. Dolliver,
United States Senator from Iowa, was
the most prominently mentioned. Sen
ator J. C. Burrows, of Michigan, who
is to be temporary chairman of the
National convention, and Lieutenant
Governor Sherman, of Illinois, also
found supporters among the politi
cians. Argument for Cortelyou.
There was some talk that the placing
of Mr. Cortelyou upon the ticket would
result in the criticism that two mem
bers of the present cabinet would be
running for tne chief, offices of the
country, provided that Mr. Taft is nom
inated for the Presidency. To thi3 com
plaint the friends of Mr. Cortelyou re
plied that, while the Secretary might
be very popular with the administra
tion, he also possessed great strength
of his own with the commercial inter
ests of the country, which would make
him an available and formidable can
didate. There was a strong general
feeling, however, that an Eastern man
should be given the second place on
th8 ticket. This sentiment was used to
the limit by friends of the Eastern
candidates for the purpose of eliminat
ing western possibilities.
In addition, it was pointed out that
the present situation in Iowa Is unset
tled, because of the recent struggle be
tween the Allison and Cummins fac
tions and that it would be unwise for
the National party to take any step
that might bring the contest to the
fore.
Despite the talk of the Vice-Presidential
situation, there was no inclina
tion on the part of any of the leaders
to pose as authorities for or against
any candidate. All asserted that the
situation could not be brought to a
focus as yet and that developments
of the next few days might change
the entire aspect of affairs.
Advocates of the compromise in Louis
iana argue that if the Foraker delegations
are recognized partially, the Taft forces
will gain strength among the negro vot
ers of the North, many of whom are be
lieved to be convinced that the National
committee is discriminating against their
race by its decisions In favor of the "Lily
Whites." of Florida and Georgia.
Mr. Hitchcock points out in reply to
this argument that many of the delegates
who have been seated are negroes and
that this element of the party is certain
to have felenty of representation on the
floor of tlie convention.
The advance guard of the big crowds
will soon arrive. The New York men,
1000 strong, will arrive Saturday. The
next largest delegation wiil come from
Pennsylvania. Its members are expected
Saturday night, and most of the Illinois
party will also be here at that time.
The big marching clubs that are to
participate in the demonstration in con
vention hall Wednesday morning of next
week will be here Saturday. Their part
in the convention is expected to be one
of the most spectacular features of the
gathering.
Committeeman H. C. McCoy, the mem
ber from the Philippine Islands, appeared
today. This deprived Senator Lodge, of
Massachusetts, of his proxy.
ALLIES PREPARING APPEAL
Will Say Favorite Son States Ig
nored Cannon Builds Platform.
CHICAGO, June 9. The arrival of
Speaker Cannon and Senator Dick, of
Ohio, in the city revived the activity
about the headquarters of the allies.
At least three conferences were held
during the afternoon and evening by
the leaders of the anti-Taft forces, the
subject of discussion being the state
ment which the allies are preparing to
issue in a few days. This statement,
it is said, will appeal to the delegates'
of the convention on the grounds that
"the favorite son" states New York,
Pennsylvania, Indiana and Illinois are
being Ignored by the National commit
tee for the sake of getting delegates
from Southern states whose electoral
votes are practically nil, so far as the
Republican- party is concerned. Defi
nite information regarding this state
ment was refused.
The tariff plank in the platform re
ceived attention from Mr. Cannon. He
and Senator A. J. Hopkins, of Illinois,
who is expected to be chairman of the
resolutions committee of the conven
tion, conferred at length upon it and
agreed upon a tentative draft of the
measure Mr. Hopkins will take this
to Washington with him when he goes
to the capital to attend sessions of the
monetary commission. Mr. Cannon is
also reported to have Indorsed other
tentative sections of the platform, the
nature of which was not announced.
OREGON DELEGATES ARRIVE
Advance Guard In Chicago Others

CHICAGO, June 9. (Special.) The

western road and is temporarily quar
tered at the Palmer House. Those In the

who left over the Northern Pacific route,
is held up by the floods In Montana.
Other Oregon delegates are expected to
drift in later In the week.
"It looks like Taft on the first bal
lot," said J. H. Brown, of Portland, one
of the alternates. "The War Secretary
will have a walk-away as far as the con
vention is concerned."

Well - Managed Obstructions
"Will Defeat Pet Measure.
ALBANY, N. Y., June 9. Precarious
in the extreme is the condition of the
bills framed to carry out Governor
Hughes' renewed recommendation for
the abolition of the present legal pro
tection of public gambling at .race
tracks. Governor Hughes and tne
friends of the bill, confidently expect
that Senator Foelker, of Brooklyn,
whose vote is apparently indispensable
to the passage of the bills and who has
been absent because of illness, will
come to Alibany tomorrow in time to
vote for the bills should they reach
that stage of progress.
The point at which the measures
stand tonight, however, is one that
lies in the shortness of the time re
maining before the hour of 2 P. M. on
Thursday, when the leaders of both
houses intend to adjourn the extraor
dinary session without delay. In order
to start for Chicago to attend the Re
publican convention. So short is the
time that well-managed obstructions
in either house or both might well suf
fice to prevent the bills coming to a
vote at all before adjournment.
It became plain today that the oppo
sition was depending largely on the short
ness of the remaining time to talk the
bills to death. The Senate committee on
Judiciary and codes, to which the bills
were referred, acted favorably on both.
The assembly committee on codes this
evening voted 8 to 1 to report them fa
vorably. The negative vote was that of
Curviller, of New York, Democrat, who
proposed an amendment providing for
the so-called mutual system of betting on
races. The bills were reported in the
assembly tonight. They will be reported
in the Senate tomorrow.

SEATTLE, Wash., June 9. (Special.)
A dare cost Peter Nelson, 14 years old,
his life today. Young Nelson, with other
boys, was swimming in Lake Washington
near the old pumping station in the
southern part of the city. Several of his
companions who were a short distance
out In the lake on a catamaran, dared
him to swim to tnem. The Nelson boy
was a good swimmer and started from
the shore. The distance was hardly
more than 100 feet. Half' way out a
cramp seized him and he sank. As he
rose he cried out for help, but the young
sters on the catamaran laughed. Young
Nelson was fond of jokes and his com
panlons thought that he was merely en
deavoring to fool them. He sank again.
however, and a third time, before the
others realized that he was drowning.
When they finally did realize the situa
tion it was too late, and he had gone
down lor tne last time.

British and Russian warships, lying in

British King by sea and the Emperor
of Russia by land was made the occa

During the course of the day the
King and Emperor were the guests of
the Dowager Empress at luncheon on

which was crowded with guests. All
of the warships were brilliantly illu

Alexandra displayed special electrical
effects.
