Charles H. Emmons, OF Wilmington
and W. II. Iredale, the picture agents
are in very deep water, as other
charges than those made against them
in Chester are lowering over their
heads, says the Chester Times. While
the hearing was in progress at the
City Hall yesterday Mrs Goodley, of
West Chester, sat in the mayors Of
fee. She has preferred a charge of
larceny and nOn-payment of their
board bill. According to her state
ment Emmons, Iredale and a young
woman, all picture agents, came to her
home and when they left they failed TO
attend to the little formality Of paying
for their accommodations, while $l5 in
cash disappeared at the same time. She
thinks the young woman took the
money. r. S Mancil, proprietor of the
Farmers Hotel, NorristOwn, has a
board bill against the two agents and
he and Chief of Police Rodenbaugh
came down yesterday to collect. 1t is
said that Emmons' father will pay
this.

clue. for the detectives hurried of to

reasons for calling the same at once,
which were to the effect that as the

to sound the members Of the company

by other companies in the country,
that Of asking them for a subscrip-
ton to the permanent fund, and what
ever other contribution they could
spare These contributions taken to-
gether with the state appropriation
would put up a very desirable and

fine lot had already been offered at a
very low figure.
Accordingly, it was decided to ap-
point a committee of five of the Oldest
