ONLY A BOY DRIVER.
So Mahlenbrock's Horse Ran Away
and Killed a Small Girl.

A spirited horse, attached to an express
wagon which had been left in charge of
new boy. became unmanageable on Pal
isade avenue. near Hutton street, last
night, and dashed on the sidewalk, Great
ing a stampede among pedestrians. and
probably fatally injuring Bertha Becker,
four year old child.
About half-past six o'clock the wagon
which bore the name of Henry Mahlen-
brock drew up at store on Palisade ave-
nue.. There were two boys on the seat.
One of them, who was driving, did not
appear to be over fourteen years old. and
the other appeared younger. The boy
who was driving climbed down and went
into the store with a package while the
other boy began tooling with the reins.
1t was not long before the horse was
plunging and rearing, and the badly
frightened boy jumped off the seat and
grabbed the horse by the bride. This
only served to make the animal worse,
and the horse, with the heavily laden
wagon behind it, dashed up Palisade ave-
nue. close to the sidewalk.
The sidewalk was crowded with shop
pers and people returning from their
daily toll at the time, and there was a
great deal of excitement Near
the corner of Hutton street the
horse shied and started up on the side
walk. Everybody succeeded in getting
out of the way but little Bertha Becker.
She was innocently playing IN front of
ber home when the horses cruel hoofs
struck her. and the next moment she was
beneath the numbering wagon. Police
man Lee who had succeeded in stopping
the horse before any more damage was
done, picked up the child {.
She was unconscious She was
brought to drug store where a
doctor said that although no bones were
broken, the child was suffering from such
severe, internal injuries that she would
probably die.
Policeman Lee arrested the driver of
the wagon. He said he was Frank Dun
| ming, fifteen years old of No. 81 Chestnut
| avenue, and had been employed by
Mahlenbrock. Policeman Lee then ar
rested Mahlenbrock. and both prisoners
were arraigned before Justice Davis this
| morning The Judge paroled the boy and
| accepted bail for Mahlenbrock's appear
anCe.

the Streets Better?
Mayor Wanser has reviewed the pro-
ceedings of the Street and Water Com
missioners' meeting OF Monday. The
greater part of the resolutions adopted
met with His Honor's approval. This
morning the resolution book was re-
turned to Clerk Bouton.
The revised payroll of the Lamp De-
partment for the month of April, aggre-
eating 1915, is again to be vetoed. HIS
Honor thinks another mistake might be
discovered in the time allowance, The
payroll of the same department for the
month of May amounts to $685. The re-
duction is caused by tie dropping
of Richard Sickamore from the
list of laborers. The payroll of
laborers in parks for the month of May,
amounting to 5000 was withheld, and will
ers for repaving over street openings for
May. aggregating 1924 56, and for labor
ers cleaning sewers and basins, amount
ing to $40, will probably meet the same
fate. A resolution ordering 81, 465. 20 paid
to Street Contractor Byrnes is also with
held.
Mayor Wanser has noticed vast i'm
provemept in the condition of the streets,
but although the resolution will not be
vetoed it will not be signed until His
honor has had a conference with Mr..
Bvrnes.
A small batch of claims for repairs to
Public Schools was also withheld. This
is done because His Honor wishes
to see that no one man will do.

told in repairing the schools.
He adopts this course merely TO be con-

was approved Of and on good authority

Noisy Pavement and Curb Stone Bands
Annoy Mr.. Paddock.
Vice Principal Paddock of the High
School complains bitterly of the noise of
wagons and trucks rolling over the stone
roadway in front Of his class rooms. He
finds it necessary at times to conduct his
class recitations at the top of his voice.
He says all roadways in the vicinity OF
school houses should be macadamiZed.
Another source of complaint is the an-
noyance occasioned by curbstone bands
playing directly beneath the classroom
windows. Becoming eXasperated a few
days ago ne hurled an inkstand at one of
the numerous groups OF strolling mu-
siciads. They were inclined to be saucy
ut first and commenced another
tune, but the quick disapp arance
of the Professors head from the window
led them to believe he was coming down.
They took to their heels. The Professor
thinks an ordnance should be passed for
bidding them to play in certain localities.

E. b. Gaddis created quite a sensation
last night before the door of the Com :
mlttee on Credentials by telling w. S.
Murrell, the colored delegate-at large
from New Jersey that che had bought
many niger like him."
The quarrel originated in an attempt of
Gaddis, who was elected alternate-au-
large for New Jersey. to take the place of
Hon. John |. Blair, whose alternate Muir
rell was. Mr.. Blair was unable to be at
the convention and Murrell claimed the
right to take his place.
The claim was disputed by Gen, Sewell
and Gaddis. Murrell rose In the Conven-
ton and attempted to state his side of the
case yesterday morning, but Chairman
Fassett ruled him out of order. The
Committee on Credentials settled the
matter in favor of the colored delegate.
which so incensed Gaddis that he yelled
out to him in front of the committee door:
II have bought many niger like you"
Murrell was on the point of striking
him, but restrained himself. and replied:
''Thank God. you have never bought me.
You have not money enough"
One of Gaddis's friends sneeringly said
to Murrell:-"I never voted tor a Niger
in the State Convention"

Republicans were like you, and your ex.
nigger trader, who has the audacity to
use such infamous language in a Repub-
lican convention. | know | would not

angry disputants and many were the
cries of shame directed at Gaddis. The
