Ocorco II. Millar, socialist council
man from tho third ward lins filed
charges alleging Incompetency nnd
unbecoming conduct against Chief of
l'ollco J. F. Hlttson. This action Is
said to bo nn outgrowth of tho Im
morality charges mado against Coun
cilman Millar last winter. Friends
of tho BOclnllBt leader, say ho threat
ens to bring r,u It for dnmngos against
Mayor Klfert and former City Attor
ney O. O. Hoggs. Councilman Millar
denies UiIb Intention.
Tho charges against Chief Hlttson
arc embraced In allegations concern
lng John Caspal, n journeyman photo
grapher, nnd E. Mlnear, n country
youth. It Is alleged that Chief Hltt
son failed to nccount for n flno col
lected from Caspal for violation of n
city ordinance and, In tho Mlnear case
failed to turn In cash collected for
pound fcos. Chief Hlttson was
cleared of tho Caspal charges by tho
evidence, testimony on tho charges
wcro heard at a secret session of tho
council Friday, and will bo resumed
at tho regular council meeting tomor
row night. There was a disposition
on tho part of both sides to keep the
hows dark. Claiming it was for tho
best. '
Sensational developments are an
ticipated at tho hearing. Tho resump
tion of tho political hostilities of last
winter havo been browing for a cou
plo of weeks, fraternal and business
influences being exerted, without suc
cess, to halt any action. It is also
asserted that dissension on tho police
for co is rcsponslblo for a portion of
tho agitation.
Itelativo to tho publicity given tho
charges Councilman Millar said:
"Chief Hlttson should not worry
half as much as others nbout tho
charges If he has any kind of a plau
sible story. Tho charges wcro made
only for a thorough Investigation
whllo tho principals wcro in town.
Tho Sun must bo severely strained
for news when I mado not 'graft
charges' and my complaint signed
states: 'Incompetency and conduct
unbecoming an officer.' Chief Hltt
son will get a fair and Impartial
hearing if I can assist It. I was
asked to have tho several complaints
arcd by qulto a few rcputablo cltl
xens, but bollevcd that a secret ses
sion was all that was necessary for
tho council and principals to bo
heard. Tho John Caspal case was
decided favorablo to Hlttson, as per
tho evldcnca of Caspal. I notified
Chief Hlttson personally at the timo
of making out tho charges what I bad
done. This may be tbo 'grudgo' somo
aro speaking of, but their Imagination
must bo stretched to tho limit to ac
commodate tho Idea. It Is possible
that again thcro is much ado about
nothing."

t PANAMA, Sept. 1, Following tho
rcmoal jcsK'rdny of the Inst remain
ing barrier at the Pacific end of tho
Panama canal, dredges tomorrow
will Btart to- remove tho last barrier
of tho Atlantic channel. When this
work Is finished ships may rnnlgata
to the- locks from both cuds.
Tho Pacific barriers wcro blown up
by an olectric switch which was
turned on twice yesterday, first at
9:30 o'clock and again at 1:30 p. in.
Tho first blast constituted about
44,500 pounds of 15 per cent dyna
mite nnd hundreds of tons of iiuml
nnd stones were thrown high In tho
air. Tho explosion tore a big gap
In tho barrier, but was not to a suf
ficient depth to permit tho water to
flow through as tho tldo was low.
Tho actual breaking of the barrier
came In the afternoon when the sec
ond charges was lot go. Then n
workman with a shovel made a small
trench, through which n rill of water
trickled. It wldnodod gradually, and
In an hour was a raging torrent, with
a 3. foot fall of water pouring
through an opening 400 feet wide,
Into that part of tho canal between
Oamboa dike and tho Mlraklorcs
locks, which previously had been ex
cavated by stcamshovcls.

VIENNA, ScpL 1. "On to Pales
tinu" was tho koynoto of tho world's
Zionist congress which convened here
toduy. l'rofessaor Waiburir( of
tho University of Berlin, presided.
About COO delegates, rcpresentiiif;
tweuty-fivo countries, nro iu at
tendance. Tiio United States and
Cauada aro represented by more
than fifty delegates.
It was expected that tho old fight
between tho two factions in tho Zi
onist movement-tho practical nnd
tho political Zionists would break
out again upon the ndoption of th
report of tho actions committee, iih
tho executive committee is uown.
Tho dream of tho practicals, who
aro in control of tho congress, is Mm
colononization of Palcbtino by tho
Jews as a nueloup for tho ultimate
formation and organization of an an
touomous if not an independent Jew
lull fat ale. Tho practicals, on tho
other hand, headed by Dr. Max Nor-
ciitu oi I'ariH, oppose tins idea as
visionary nud fautnstio and stand
rather for ilio unified nud concerted
action on tho part of Zionists to he-
euro safeguards and equal privileges
nnd opportunities for tho Jews iu
countries whoro thoy nro still more
or less oppressed.
