LOOKING FOR
MAMMA, TOT
IS KILLED
Tiny White-clad Form
Crushed Under Trolley.
MOtOrman Bailed.

Waking up, and after calling in vain
for her mother, is is supposed,
Julia Patarsl<i. years old, ran into
the street from her home, e19 Market
street and met death under the wheels
of an eastbound Plank road trolley at
Q o'clock last night. A crowd gathered,
and when threats of violence were
heard among the several hundred per-
sons. Harry Seidler, of 1923 Fifteenth
avenue, the motorman, rushed his car
to Jersey City. where he was arrested
and brought back to the Third Precinct
police station, where he was paroled
for arraignment this morning.
Mrs. Patarski said today that she had put
her child to bed, taking the precaution to
undress her before going across the street
to the store to purchase some things for
this mornings breakfast She watched
over the little form Of her daughter until
the latter closed her eyes, and then, ex-
tinguishing the light In little oil lamp,
she confidently left the house, satisfied that
the child would not awake before the morn
ing.
Mrs. Patarski was In store making
her purchases when she heard an approach
ing car Just as 1t reached a point In
front of the store the cry of child rent
the air and a crowd began to gather. The
mother was among those in the crowd and
II was some minutes before she learned
that the little night-robed victim was her
own child, the one she had left snugly
tucked away in bed a short time before.
The grief of the woman was unbounded4
She tore at her hair and her wailings were'
pathetic to hear.
AS soon as possible the mangled form
Of the child was lifted from beneath the
wheels and carried to the sidewalk where
1t was tenderly laid and the police were
notified. County Physician Daniel Ell
lott reached the scene in a few minutes.
According to the story of those who saw
the accident, including passengers on the
car, 1t was unavoidable. Just as the car
was passing the scene a little white form
rushed from the entrance to the house and
into the street directly In front of the fast
approaching car. Seidler reversed his
power and threw on the air brakes, but
1t was impossible to check the momentum
of the car, and 1t bore down on the little
FORM crushing its life out instantly.
Seidler was taken to the Court of Quarter
Sessions today, where he was bailed in
81, 900 on a formal charge Of manslaughter,
to await the action OF the Grand Jury.
Acting Captain Dowling, of the Third Po-
lice Precinct station, made the charge, and
Joseph Lavecchia, of 258 South Orange ave-
nue., who Is connected with the claim de-
partment of the trolley company, went on
the motorman's bond.
Gustav Wedan, of 3T Fifteenth avenue,
the conductor of the car. was paroled until
wanted.

and obtained the courts signature to

the prosecution of Paine is vir-
tually persecution.
"Our client has satisfied me fully that
his transactions were absolutely straight
and in no sense subject to the criticism that
has been made. He is In no sense tip
ster. He sold information, not tips, and he
neither asked for nor obtained payment
until his customers had obtained profits on
the information he gave them"

cure additional evidence against Paine, and
has already interested the postoflice au-

geant Then Killed Him
self in Baby'S Presence.

NEW YORK. Aug. 23.-Grave fears were
felt today for the sanity of Margaret De-
laney, yeats old, of go East Fifty-sixth
street. who early this morning saw her
father, Bernard, first sergeant OF Company
II, Sixty-ninth Regiment, shoot and seri-
ously wound his wife and then kill him
self.
The little girl lay between the two when
Delaney drew his revolver from under the
passed so close to the child's head as to
SINCE her hair. Drink, the police say. was
the cause of the tragedy.
When the excitement which followed the
shooting had subsided attention was
directed to the little girl, who had become
hysterical. The child's condition was such
that the efforts that were made to quiet
her were in vain.
Delaney had been twelve years member
of the regiment. He was also employed as
a janitor in the nrmory. In addition to
being valuable man about the armory he
took quite a part in the social affairs of the
regiment
The police say that Delaney started In to
drink neaN1ly on independence Duy. 1hcy
add that he kept at 1t steadily until his
home life began to travel along the road
to ruin. His wife and his brother Timothy,
who also lived in the house. besought De-
laney to leave the liquor alone, the police
say further, and that the only satisfaction
they got was his reply. 81 know | am do
ing wrong, but / don't want to stop"
Gradually Delaney got worse.
Last night the Delaneys dined together
and sat around talking for some time be-
fore going to bed. Delaney asked his little
daughter not to forget to pray for him.
Then they all went to bed.
About an hour after they retired De-
laney got the revolver and began to shoot,
leaning over the little girl who was asleep,
but who awolse with terror-stricken cry
at the reports Of the revolver.
The man fired once at his wife, the bull
let entering her right ear and fraeturing
her skull. Then Delaney shot himself in
the head
The brother Timothy heard the scream
ing Of the little girl, and running In made
the discovery of the double shooting. The
woman was taken to Flower Hospital
where the surgeons said her recovery WIS
matter of doubt.
Delaney was man in whom Colonel
Duffy had taken especial interest

GIRLS FIGHT FIRE
HELP IN NEW YORK HOTEL
DO VERY WELL.
Had Put Out the Blaze When the City's
Heavy Water squirters Reached
the King Edward.

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-Things were get
ting back to normal shape in the King
Edward Hotel, on West Forty-seventh
street. today after the early morning fire
which was conquered by the King Edward
Hotel Female Fire Brigade, organized by
Frank Powers, the night clerk, on the
spur OF the moment The maids OF the ho-
tel manned the hose and turned it on the
fire--not on themselves, for wonderland
right well they did their work. By the
time the firemen arrived on the scene the
girls had put out the fire and nearly put
out the hotel, too.
1t is supposed that the fire was due to
defective insulation. The smoke shot out
Of the top floor windows Just a few mo-
ments before the guests shot out of a hun
dred rooms But before that happened
Miss May Campbell, night telephone oper-
ator. was on the job. She was sitting on
the steps of the hotel when she smelled
smoke and looking mp, her eyes eorrobora-
ted the testimony of her nose. The hotel
was surely smoking The girl ran to the
telephone and called up each guest in turn
TO notify him or her of the danger. Then
there occurred merry seurrying along the
Railways while Charley Scott, the elevator
man. had his hands full--likewise his car
Miss Campbell called to Night Clerk
Powers, who rounded up the maids and
organized his fire brigade. Considering
that it was their first performance they did
very well indeed. They sent a cascade
down the elevator shaft, but Charley Scott
kept his head above the flood until all the
guests were out. The servants quarters
were burned out and they lost everything.
The water filtered through to the floor
below where 1t also did some damage.

CERTIFICATE
TO MOTHERTO
GET BRIDE
Dickson Proves Doris Bury
to Be Bride--Her Parent
Doubted II.

Doris disappeared from her home
about a week ago. and on Wednes-
day her mother received a letter
from her saying that she was
married to Thomas Dickson. Her
mother Immediately sent n reply
and communicated with the police.
Captain Carroll put Detective Ser
geant Kuhn on the case. and he went
to the postoffice and waited all day
for the bride to appear. Kuhn got
tired Of waiting and told Policeman Nc
Kiernan to take anyone calling forsthe
letter from the girls mother to head
quarters.
The couple were found and taken be-
fore Captain Carroll. Mrs. Bury arrived
at headquarters a few minutes after
she received the message that her
daughter and Dickson were there.
When Mrs. Bury entered headquar-
ters she coldly asked her daughter,
''Who is the person beside your" and
was told that 1T was her husband, Mr..
Dickson, and that they had been mar
ried on Wednesday. Mrs. Bury asked
for the marriage certificate, and was
told that they had not obtained one
as yet
"Well until you show me the certifi-
cate of marriage / will never believe
that you are married" declared Mrs.
Bury as she ordered her daughter to
go home with her. Dickson said he
would show his mother-in-law that he
had married Doris Bury, but as he had
no proof of the marriage, Captain Car
roll thought it advisable that the girl
go to her mothers home.
In the event of the girl being mar
ried 1t is said that Mrs. Bury will take
legal steps to have the marriage an
nulled. Mrs. Bury was not at home
when an EVENING STAR reporter
called this morning.

street, called on Justice of the Peace
Thomas Keenan,, .in East Kearny, this
morning and obtained a certificate of
his marriage to Doris Bury, 16 years
old, of 10 Parlxhurst street, Newark.
Dickson Immediately mailed a copy of
the certificate to Mrs. Bury. who sepa-
rated the young couple yesterday after
noon at police headquarters.
AS soon as Dickson feels that his
rewly made mother-in-law has spent
enough time to carefully peruse the
contents of the certificate and has
satisfied herself that 1t is genuine and
that she really has Dickson for SON
in-law he will go to the house and de-
mand his bride Of three days.
