SEARCH FOR KISSING GIRLS
Those Who Rugged University of
Pennsylvania Students Did Not
Attend Hearing.

ELLA Braddock" and May Irvine"
who kissed as many University of
Pennsylvania students Tuesday night
in a lunch wagon at Twenty seventh
street and Woodland avenue, Philadel-
phia, as they could before the police
swooped down upon them, did not ap-
pear yesterday before Magistrate
Stratton.
The magistrate says that he will is
sue subpoenas for them and force their
appearance.
Many explanations are offered for
the wholesale, unsolicited and quick
change osculation. One is that the
girls did it on a wager. The other is
that May Irvine" is a married woman,
estranged from her husband, and that
she thus acted to bring disrespect upon
him.
The husband is said to be one of
those who hurried to the police station
and obtained the girls release on bail.
He is described by the police as a
member of one of Philadelphia's best
families, married out OF his set.
The husband is said to live i'm "a

TRUST COMPANY DENIES RUMORS
Henry P. Scott Says New Concern Has
Not Purchased Property for
Buildinu.

There is much speculation as to
where the new trust company recently
organized will be located. During the
past few days there has been circu-
lated a number of rumors to the effect
that the company had purchased prop
.erty on which to erect an enormous
building, but all of these rumors are
denied by officials of the company.
Henry p. Scott, an officer of the
company stated this morning that no
site had been purchased. He said that
an offer was made for property re-
Gently but no terms were reached. Mr..
Scott stated that the company may
not build for a year. and in the mean
time there was ample room at the
offices of Scott & Co., to transact the
new trust company's business.
It is understood that parties have
recently made offers for a number of
properties along the north side of
Tenth street to and including the
Friendship Fire Company, but for
what purpose could not be learned.
John ID. Baylis. who owns the prop
erty No. 9 West Tenth street, stated at
noon today that it was true he had an
offer for the property, but he did not
want to sell it. Mr.. Baylis said the
person who made him the offer said
that it was for an individual who
wanted to open store there.
