YOUNG VAHL IS HELD Phoenixville Yonlb, Witness Against Gypsies Charged With Urutal Murder of Michael Miroski. DRAMATIC SCENE IN COITRT MORRISTCnVN. Oct. 27. Occupying a cell alongside the gypsies Is George "VahI.

the Phoenixville youth who first brought to town the news of the kidnapping: of young Michael Miroski by a band of gypsies on Friday, afternoon. He was taken iiuo custody this evening after the hearing by Magistrate Howell in the cases of Henry Wells. Robert Wells. Michael Dougherty. Barney Dougherty, George Wol verton and Samuel Rigles.

the gypsies who have been in custody since the finding of the body of the murdered boy on Sunday. This sensational turn in the case came during the hearing when discrepancies were shown by Colonel Gilk.er son. counsel for the prisoners, in the chain of circumstantial evidence that had connected the gypsies with the crime. None of the testimony was more vacillating than that of the star witness. Wahl.

While Wahl was testifying he was given a severe test by Colonel Gilkerson. He had told how he had taken young Miorski with him for a drive, and had left him out of the wagon a mile and a half from home to pick chestnut! and then saw the boy pulled into a passing gypsy wagon, which was the last he had seen of the boy. "Look at these photographs," shouted Gilkerson, as he thrust the pictures of the dead child showing the gashed throat and battel ed head. "Did not you see that poor boy in death?" It was an ordeal to shake the benrt of the hardest criminal, and the llf teen year old boy Wahl did not come out unscathed, for tears welled up and his eyes grew wild as if he wanted to scream with terror. Again and again he pushed back the proffered pictures, saying that he had seen them before.

Witness denied he owned a knife and said he wasn't in the habit of taking little boys out in the country in his delivery wagon. Wahl wasn't substantiated by other witnesses. Two colored women said that they saw two gypsy women with a small boy in a wagon drawn by two bay horses near the camp and told how they had identified the dead child as the same as was in the wagon, because of his red striped waist, alone, but when shown photographs of the mur Jered boy they were not sure it was the same. Another witness said Wahl's kidnappers were two men driving a black and a white horse. Thus the principal witnesses differed in the occupants of the wagon and in the color the horses.

There is a boy in the fypsy camp of the same age and appearance and with a red striped waist as young Miroski. While all the gypsies except the boy Michael Dougherty were held for a further hearing it is expected that when they are next arraigned it will be to discharge them. District Attorney Locks, who had Wahl held tonight, states that he Is satisfied that young Wahl knows more about the rn.ur.der than the gypsies. He stated that hree witnesses have been found who saw Wahl's mule team in front of the abandoned house where the murdered boy mis found. 'm In the magistrate's office today young tougherty, with whom Wahl exchanged places in jail tonight, openly accused Wahl of committing the deed nd trying to hang it on his associates.

"You were driving a little black nule." cried Dougherty, "and passed jur camp at William's corner Friday veiling and remarked to old miui A'ells, "ain't that a nice driving mule. When Wahl gave the young gypsy he lie the latter sprang fo him. but District Attorney Locks separated The detectives have practically IroppeU the gypsy theory and are huiit ng up Wahl's movements. Intimating hat he was accustomed to entice children from town for immoral pur josc and if he killed Miroski it was cover up one of those crimes. WOMEN.

WASHINGTON INCREDULOUS. Washington, Oct. 27. Officials of the government today received with Incredulity the allegation by Admiral Rojestvensky that the Russian fleet under his command was approached by two torpedo boats in the North Sea, nnd that the fire of the fleet was directed to these boats and not against the fishing fleet. Department officials declared they had looked for an explanation that would attempt to gloss over the blunder which cost the lives of British seamen.

The fact that no war vessels have been reported in the North Sea. which is frequented by hundreds of craft, is commented upon as throwing strong suspicion upon the accuracy of the Russian'admiral's suspicion. In addition to this, the testimony of the British fishermen is unanimous to the nature of the attack on them, while not a hint has escaped of any Japanese or British torpedo boat having been seen in those waters. The conclusion reached by Washington authorities, based upon press reports only. Is that" Admiral Rojestvensky has not furnished any good reason to justify the action of his offi cers in firing upon the defenceless hien.

The belief is expressed, however, that the question of fact raised between the Russian commander and the British fishermen will be settled somehow without serious friction. THE ISSUE PLAIN. A much more fcerious phase of the case is the reported refusal of the Russian government to entertain from England or any other power the demand that Russian officers shall be punished for their act in tiring upon the fishermen. The issue having been made by the demand of the British government, and. the refusal of the Russian government to entertain it.

It is difficult to see wherein a compromise may be effected. In Russian quarters here the statement is made with considerable emphasis that the Russian government cannot be expected to discipline its naval officers at the behest of Great Britain. The whole affair Is regard ed as a mere mistake, which might occur during war times In the progress of any fleet. The Russian government may, it is held, decide to punish the officers responsible for the mistake, but It will do so voluntarily and not through the coercion of England. In fact.

It is Intimated that an investigation may show that the biame rests with England and not with Apology for the blunder, ample Indemnity to the families of the victims, and possibly Injunctions to the Russian commander to exercise renewed vigilance and caution, will be the extent of the Russian government's amends, in the opinion of those acquainted with the views of the Russian embassy. Absolute belief In the accuracy of Admiral Rojestvensky' report Is expressed by the Russian representative.

"Is it really true that Judge Parker will speak next Monday night?" he was asked. "Yes, it is true." "Will he make any other speeches next week?" "That has not been settled yet, but will be later." "What's the reason of the change in policy?" "I'd rafher not discuss that point." Although none of the members of the national Democratic committee would discuss it, the fact that William Jennings Bryan will be seen in Kew York city within a few days and that he and Judge Parker will speak from the same platform at Madison Square garden on Monday night was further confirmed today by an authority on Democratic politics.

Senator Scott told a friend today that he expected Roosevelt to get three hundred and six electoral votes and that he might get as high as three hundred and fourteen. The latter figure is one named by Governor Grosvenor, the Ohio representative, who concede to the Democrats only a few slates outside the solid south.

Oct 27. Because his mother eluded him for chewing tobacco, Alfred Odell, aged fourteen years, hanged himself with a halter strap. 1 An only son. always under the watchful eye of his parents, he had always been considered a boy of exemplary habits. His father is a strict churchman and never used tobacco in any form.

Yesterday evening Alfred returned from school with half a dots en other lads, and when he entered the house he had a "chew" of tobacco in bis mouth. His mother saw him and scolded him. The boy left' the house, saying to his mother "Don't tell Pa." An hour later his body was found hanging in the barn. THE SIBWAY OPENED. jfoatlaaed From Page Oae.) either end of the section is a motor car.

The first section started out of the city hall station at exactly 2:34 o'clock. The solid silver controller, provided by the company for the mayor's special use and given to him after the trip as a souvenir of the opening, was put in place. Conductor James C. Harrington gave the mayor two bells, his honor slowly turned on the power and the start was made as smoothly as if veteran had been at the lever. The train went northward Hying.

Fourteenth street was reached in 76 minutes. Forty second street in 10V4. Fifty ninth In 144. Seventy second in 15. Ninety sixth in 18V4 "and.

One Hundred and Forty fifth in 26 minutes. The mayor, when he came out of the motorman's box remarked that If he had not already bought an automobile he believed he'd buy an electric train with a road to run it on. Pooler, the regular motorman, took the mayor's place nt One Hundred and Third street and after a brief stop at One Hundred and Forty fifth street the section started back on the return trip. It was run as a local to city hall, stops being made at every station. Every time the section stopped a crowd of man and women wanted to get aboard, but the conductor and guards said that, white the passengers were allowed to get off, none would bei taken aboard.

At One Hundred and Twenty second street, where the open viaduct begins, small boys were perched on the walls on either side of the tracks cheering. A woman in a red petticoat and red hood on a roof nearby had a flag in one hand and a laurel wreath in the other and she waved both frantically, screaming as she waved. At Fourteenth street a woman rushed up to the motor box and through the open window tossed a huge bouquet to the motorman. "For the mayor." she said, millng, and Pooler, the motorman. said thank you." The section got back into the city hall station at 3:45.

having taken forty minutes to make the return trip as a "local." The special guests piled out and the police hustled them nbove ground to make room for the hundreds of men and women who were already waiting in the station to take the same trip in the vrry same train. The subway trains were run on regular schedule up to 7 o'clock In the evening to accommodate the many people who had been given complimentary tickets for today's opening travel. At 7 o'clock after the bulk of the downtown travel had been carried home on the elevated and surface roads) the subway was opened to the general public. ThG company had acted wisely In not opening the rond to regular travel earlier In the day. as even at 7 o'clock witn the bulk of the heavy traffic already disposed of by the other roads, the subway stu lons were surrounded vast crowds eager to Inspect the new stations and get their first ride on the road.

All the trains running after 7. o'clock to midnight were well filled, and many were so crowded that not few of the passenger had to siand up. The general verdict whs that the service, even on the opening day, was excellent. The smoothness of the roadbed elicited general praise. The curves were so perfect that evn those who were walking In the all when they were rounded barely noticed them.1 And above all.

the purity ami wholesome ness of die air caused constant comment both that and the beauty of the station. When they tiegan tuning In money at the Brooklyn bridge station Inspector Titus. In command of the police detail, estimated the crowd at twenty thousand. Thousands did not go home to dinner at all after tTiey quit work. They took a place In line nnd walled patiently in the cold until the word came to throw open the floors.

General Manager Frank Hodley was In charge of the bridge station personally: "Thing are going as smoothly as If the subway had been running for a year." said he. 'There ha not been a hitch of any kind. The system Is running like a piece of well oiled machinery." In the first half hour train running from the Bridge stntlnn took fifteen thousand people. Every train carried about S00 person. The local trains run on a throe minute schedule and the express trains on a four minute schedule.

At the st.ition the greatest crowd was nt 1 h. or Manhattan street. Many houses In the neighbor li4Mid were decorated with flag und bunting. The Went Knd lieu' re wa brilliant with electric light, and the top of the building wit a six foot electric sign wliliii read "To Harlem In Klften Minutes."
