cused from consideration OF the matter. Work
with the individual members was then at

who could be reached was interviewed the
subject Of equalization. During the week Of
Dec s, 1906. a committee Of the Interborough

A Similar Case.
A similar case was reported last
night TO The Bulletin which occurred
late Monday afternoon. The little
daughter Of a we'll known family re.
siding on Tenth street, who have re-
quested that their name be withheld,
was on her way home from school
when she saw a man seated on the
curbstCne at the northwest corner of
Tenth and Walnut streets talking to
"a group of school children. As the
child approached. the man said,
Where are you going, little girl?"
She replied I'm going home With
that the fellow stood up and said.
Wait, I'm going your way" and
started off with her AS they reached
the chid's home, she opened the gate
and the acoundrel called to her.
Come or and 90 up to the corner
with me and I'll give you a nickel"
Child-like the promise of the money
proved an allurement and the little
girl walked on up the street with the
fellow. Her mother fortunately hap.
