GIRL IS LOST
NEAR PIEDMONT
Disappears in Hills and
No Trace of Her
Is Found.
Father Believes She Met
With a Serious
Accident

OAKLAND, May 21.-While out on
the Piedmont hills Sunday, Maud Wal
ker, thirteen years old. strayed away
and thirty hours search by her
father, J. X. Walker, with whom she
had been strolling, has failed to un-
cover a trace of her. The Walkers
reside at the Vendome Hotel. Ninth
and Washington streets.
Father and daughter had been roam
ing the hills near the reservoir at the
head OF Oakland avenue. Shortly be-
fore 4 o'clock Walker sat down near
a clump Of bushes to rest, while the
girl strayed off on the hillside where
there was a growth OF trees. Walker
did not miss his daughter until he was
ready to return home. He called to
her but received no response Alarmed
he searched through the brush and the
paths, but could find no trace Of her.
For hours he continued the search
and resumed 1t again this morning.
Walker says he cannot account for the
girls disappearance for she was old
enough to make her identity known.
His greatest fear Is that she met with
serious accident. She wore a straw
hat, a cream colored dress, carried
a book and a blue coat over her arm
She had resided in Oakland a year,
and attended ST. Mary's parochial
school at Eighth and Grove streets.

The school is being used as a relief sta

A few minutes later Perry saw them up
stairs making a selection Of the clothes

Cross Society. Wnen Perry attempted to
stop them they threatened to kill him with
a monkey wrench. He was unarmed and
ran out Of the building, notifying Police

hurried to the school, but the men had
disappeared. taking with them several

twenty years of age. The breaking of

it was thought that several persons
had been killed
Paladini was driving for Frank B.
Peterson g. Son, wholesale grocers, at
the foot Of Franklin street, and was
proceeding westerly with his team,
along Fourth street. The horses took
fright at the train at Webster street
and ran away. Paladini stuck to the
seat for two blocks. but fell off just
before the horses reached Broadway.
Here q sharp turn Of the wagon threw
him OF and a rear wheel went over
him.
A second later the crash came. As
the horses, under full headway, started
across Broadway, an Alameda car got
directly In the pathway of the horses.
The tongue OF the wagon struck one
Of the standards on the car and splin-
tered IL as though II had been made
OF clay. Both the animals went up
on the steps Of the car and the two
unfortunate women were right between
them.
Whether the horses or the wagon
pole struck Mrs. voss no one was able
to say. She has bad laceration just
back Of the left ear, which, If it de-
velops as a fracture of the skull, is
considered fatal. Miss Voss was
crushed by the weight of one OF the
horses and received internal injuries,
the seriousness of which is not known.
Both women were unconscious and
were placed in conveyances and taken
to the Receiving Hospital. Paladini
was able to get up and go after his
horses, which apparently were unin-
jured.
The seat where the women were sit
ting was demolished and how they
escaped being killed was remarkable.

sWore to complaint before Police Judge
Shortan yesterday morning charging
James Clark with grand larceny and
Clark was booked on the charge. He will
appear in court this morning. Clark has
been recognized Dy the police as one of
the cleverest pickpockets In the United

OF the large cities IN the East and on the
coast. He was arrested twice In this city
and served a term in San Quentin for

et-book, which he alleges contained s640.
He grabbed hold of Clark and shouted
for the police. Special Officer r. T. Har-
vey was near by and at Blums request
placed Clark under arrest and later turned
him over to Policemen Bunner and
Owens.
Clark was searched at police headquar-
ters, but the pocket-book was not found

,PRE-EMPT THE PALISADES
Jet CLOSE TO DAME NATURE

They are camping out by the thousands
along the water fronts in and just beyond
the boundaries of the second city OF the
world these hot summer days.
Among the campers are hundreds of fam
flies that have been under tents since the
beginning OF warm weather, and will re-
main so domiclled until the first cool days
of autumn drive them back to flats in Har-
lem and other cramped sections Of the me-
tropolis Hundreds of other families are
tented for their vacation weeks only. Par
ties and clubs of young men, In number
varying all the way UP to fifty and sixty,
are numerous, and mixed parties. properly
chaperoned. of course, are to be met with
on every hand
It is easy to find families OF children that
have known no other summer homes than
the canvas enveloping them at night. The
writer knows OF two young men who are
spending their sixth summer in an army
wall tent without having left the confines
of the greater city. At no time during this
period have they been in a position, f1nan
ciaily, to summer in any of the conven-
tional ways. The first summer that they
went to live in a tent they had some mis-
givings. Now, they are enamored OF the
free and easy life, and unite in declaring
to their friends that even though their
pocketbooks would permit they could not
be inveigled into spending the hot weeks
in any other way.
While 1t Is beyond dispute that the vast
majority of the campers are such for fnan-
eial reasons. it yet remains true that here
ana there campers are to be found who
could easily buy their way into more or less
fashionable resort hotels were they so
minded. A case in point is that of a GER
tain real estate broker and his family who
have spent three summers In tents pitched
on the beach at the foot OF the Palisades.

Fort Lee, nearly opposite Grants tomb. to
Alpine. the quaint fishing colony across the
river from Ionkers, are favored spots OF
the campers. The distance Is about six
miles. At the height of the season the line
of tents is continuous except where little
coves and inlets break the beach
1t Is not hard to realize the why of this.
The scenery Is superb. Back of the tents
rise the cliffs, here covered with trees. here
showing frowning battlements. rust stained
In color. Before them, and up and down,
stretches a famous river, it's surface hold
ing some new craft every minute. The
metropolis me!tS away to the south by day:
by night it is fairy land, with its millions
of twinkling lights. Then. too, the river is
a great mirror as far as eye can see-city
light, yacht light ferry light. moon light,
all being reflected with equal impartiality.
There are feathered creatures to wake
you In the morning in time for plunge in
the river. and crickets to lull you to sleep
at night. A scramble up a path to the top
patches-stra wberres. blackberries buckle
berries. freshest of breakfast fruits. And
all about are dew-coyered flowers with
which you may decorate the improvsed
dining table to suit your individual fancy.
Enthusiastic Canoeist.
Most Of the palisades campers are enthu-
siastic canoeists. Padding contests are
frequent. On Saturday afternoons and
Sundays the river Is dotted with the fraii
craft. 1t is astonishing with what dex-
terity mere boys and girls handle canoes.
They even venture with them into the open
channel, regardless of the fact that yachts
and river steamers are plying 1t constantly.
Fear of water does not seem to be in the
breasts of any of the campers. All seem to
be as much at home in and on 1t as they
are on the beach.
The camping ground is very easy OF &C
cess via the Fort Lee ferry and trolley. and
The ferry to Alpine from Yonkers. Not a
few of the men folk canoe across the river
to the city In the morning, and return from
business the same way after gaining the
