Mrs. ]. ]. Phelps Badly
~ Frightened.
POLICE ARE SUMMONED
Neighbors with Weapous
Come to the Rescue.
Discovered That Old Bicycle Tire
In the Kitchen was Responsible
for Il all.

"Murder! Police! Help! Burglars!
they re killing mel'' were some of
the words which caused the blood
of many auditors to turn cold in
the vicinity of No. $40 Olney avenue
about 7 O'Clock Saturday night.
1t was woman and so frequent
were her screams that only occa-
sionally could her anxious neigh
bors understand her words. The
first noise that disturbed the still
night was that of an explosion,
seemingly similar to small cannon
and then followed the screams.
The disturbance came from the
home of Mrs. Judson ]. Phelps, who
resides at No. 379 Olney avenue.
Soon the home was surrounded with
men, women and children, all one
excited mass. To make the scene
more complete the police patrol ar
rived bringing half dozen officers
to the place. And then an investiga-
tion began.
''"' hc'Po CidiHeu tHdL Lnere
were burglars in the house and
that when she attempted to lock
the kitchen door. one Of them had
shot at her. "I heard them walk
ing around but thought they were
on the porch. ! hastened to lock
the Kitchen door when a man, who
was hidden behind the kitchen stove
shot at me,'' was the story which
the excited woman disclosed to the,
police.
With revolvers in hand and dark
lanterns marking the way Patrol
men Cusic. Bond, wilhelm and Nor
rison stealthily made their way into
the house while fifty men, armed
with shot guns. revolvcrs. knives
and almost every conceivable weap.
on. surrounded the house and
guarded It well so that the men
could not possibly escape in case
that they should dodge the officers.
After carefully searching every
corner OF the house without find
ing any marauders. the police began
to think that It was only a scare.
Going to the kitchen where Mrs
Phelps claimed the shot was fired.
the officers hunted for a bullet hole
In the walls but found nothing. In
the corner where the burglar was
thought to hae been hiding was an
old bicycle. A long slit in the tire
disclosed the entire mystery of the
anair. Mrs. Phelps had taken the
noise of the exploding tire for a
revolver shot and the rest of the
story was her own conclusions.
In an interview today Mrs. phelns
stated that the coincident of hearing
loot steps on the porch and then
the explosion of the tire is an oc-
currence which would scare any wo
man and after all neither the police
or the excited neighbors who came
70 the rescue. blame her in the
least for her conclusion that there
were sure enough burglars in her
house. hrs. Phelps declares that the
bicycle must be moved to the wood
shed and perhaps 1t will be sold for
old iron.

SPEED OF FISHES.
Tarpon, Shark and Mackerel Are the
Swiftest of Swimmers.

When scientists desire to find out
how fast certain bird flies, 1t is nee.
essary only to set up poles and note
by stop watches the time the bird re-
quires to cross the interval. The speed
of fishes is more difficult to ascertain.
Nevertheless. as the Saturday Even
Ing Post explains. estimates have been
made showing that the mackerel. con
Bidering its handicap in size. comes
close to being the champion racer
UnQuestionably the mackerel travels
sometimes as fast as an express train
at high speed-say. at the rate Of sixty
or possibly seventy miles an hour
Other things being equal. the larger
the fish the faster 1t swims. just as the
huge steamboat Is able to travel at 6
speed much greater than the little har

Undoubtedly the energy employed
by a fish of great size, such as thirt!

two war correspondents would dash
