would be sent to a truant school. For
five days he was in his home, 211 East

coming OF officers to take him away.
He became violent last night and two
policemen were required to convey him
to Bellevue.
According to the police, Louis played
hockey with other lads. He attended
the Franciscan Brothers School, at
Second avenue aend 112th street. He
did not like to study, but loved to wan
der about the East Side.
Other boys told him he was silly to
spend so much time struggling with
figures and hard names in geography
and hard words in spelling.
~. They spoke of the fun In the strange
streets, where Louis had never been,
though they were near. They told him
Of the penny shows. the big ships they
could watch on the river, the games
they could play and the carousing
whooping, grand old time they could
have all day long.
The first day out was enough for Louis.
But, later, the Goa king voices Of the boys

teachers missed him, and soon it came
10 his parents that he had been a truant.
They didn't think It possible. There were
pictures of the truaut school, with its
hard-faced guards and teachers, painted
for him, and they burned in his inagina-
ton like whte-hot brands.

custody of Detective Sergeant Walter
Godfrey. of the prosecutors office, this
afternoon. The program is to take him

made, is compelled under the statute,

FIVE TRAINMEN
KILLED IN
FOGCRASH
Michigan Grand Trunk Col.
lides With Freight on
Sidiug--NarrOw Escapes.

DETROIT, Mich, Dec. 2s.--Speeding
through a dense fog at forty miles an
hour. Grand Trunk passenger train No.
6, which left Port Huron shortly before
z o'clock last night for this city, colided
head on with a double-header freight
train one and a half miles north of
Lenox, Mich,
Five trainmen met death, four being
instantly killed, the fifth dying three
hours later. All of the passengers es-
capped injury except baby, who was
only slightly hurt by being thrown out
Of its mothers arms and over a seat
when the trains crashed.
The dead are: Engineer James
Bennett, of the passenger train; Engi-
neer August Bohowski, of the first
freight engine; Fireman George Bough-
ner, of the freight train; Fireman Al
bert Mccall. of Port Huron passenger
train, and Freight Switchman w. G..
Taylor.
The passenger locomotive ploughed
under the engines of the double header
and the trainmen were buried In the
Iwreckage. Their bodies were terribly
mangled and scalded by the escaping
steam.
Engineer fTeu Baug ana Fireman
Washburn, of the second freight en-
gine, escaped death. Haug was caught
in his cab, but was taken ont unhurt
Washburn jumped and was only slight
lfy injured. All but one of The dead
trainmen lived I'm Detroit.
The freight train had switched from
the main track TO a siding to allow the
passenger to pass. II is unofficially
charged that the switch was not prop
erly closed, and on account of the
heavy fog which prevailed the passen-
ger crew could not see that the target
was set against them.
The collision was an almost exact dupli-
cate of wreck which occurred four and
a half years ago. On clear night In the
summer of 1908, train No. collided with
northbound freight at the same hour,
and at the same place. At that time also,
the freight had left the main line TO allow
the passenger train to pass The switch
was left open and in the resultant crash
two engineers were killed.
James Foley, special agent of tho Grand
Trunk Railway Company, who was a pas
senger on No. last night was also on
tho train at the time Of the former wreck.
In both instances he escaped unhurt.

SHOT AT CAR
FILLED WITH
PASSENGERS

BURLINGTON, Dec. 2S.--The police
of the city have to face a new and
even stranger shooting mystery in this
city. Nobody was hit this time, but
that fact is due to the agility ofHarry
Higgins, inotorman of trolley car,
who is good at lodging.
A crowded trolley car of the Camden
and Trenton line, due here at II o'clock
last night, had about reached London
Bridge, scene of numerous holdups and
shootings, when a Withholding man
stood directly in the track. and, point
ing a revolver at the motorman, began
TO fire. Higgins ducked, amid crash
of glass, and, reaching up witfr one
hand, put on all power. The car dashed
past the stranger as two more shots
came from his pistol.
when the car reached the centre Of the
city, Higgins gave an alarm, and the ex-
cited passengers began to tell about the
shooting. Captain OF Police shuinard and
another officer. With Detective Shinn. re-
turned to the scene. but could get no trace
Of the shooter. They thought II was the
freak OF druBken man.

GOT RICH LOOT
IN NEGRO'S
HOME
While Morris Family Was at
Church, Thieves Preyed.
Missed Cash.

While the members of the family of
Evangeline Morris, of 2l6 Charlton
street, negroes, we're attending service
in local church last night, some one
managed to gain an entrance by way Of
a rear window into their home. A
narrow weather board was first torn off
and the intruder mana ged to find suffi-
cient space to reach to the latch on
the inside
Rooms were ransacked and the con-
tents of bureau drawers tossed about.
The thief, or perhaps more than one,
managed to get away with a diamond
stud valued at $S5. 6, gold ring with a
black stone in it, three dozen silver
soup spoons, three dozen silver table
spoons. the same number of silver
forks, two dozen silver oyster forks,
three silver ladels, one muff, three
silk underskirts, one plush coat, two
shirt waists, white silk vest two
collars, one dress suitcase and hand
satchel.
The discovery was made by the mem
bers of the family when they returned
shortly after II o'clock. They imme-
diately notified the Fourth Precinct po-
lice, who in turn communicated with
police headquarters.
Apparently the intruder had liking
more for silverware and wearing ap-
parel than for cash, for he managed
to leave behind a wallet which con-
tanned large sum of money. He man
aged to ransack every room.
The Morrises are at a loss to under
stand how it was he managed to get
out of the neighborhood with his
plunder. Apparently bags must have
been used, for the goods stolen made
large bundle.
Plainclothesmen Kaas and Sebold are
investigating today. and they managed
to secure the measurements of the in
trudeTs shoes, for tracks of them were
found in the soft soil underneath the
window which was opened.
