BOY GIVES TROUBLE.
Placed at Industrial Home School at
Request of Parents.

Frank Handiworker, whose main ambition
in life seems to be to run away from home,
was before Judge DeLacy yesterday after
having made another getaway from his
paternal abode. The parents of the boy
moved to this city about a week ago from
Newark n. j., but the delights of Wash
ington life did not appeal to him, and when
the police picked him up at the 18th street
wharf he was preparing to take a trip
down the Potomac in an oyster boat
1t is stated he told the captain of the
vessel that he was orphan and without
home, and his story was so pitiful that
the captain thought he would give him a
chance to earn a living.
In the Juvenile Court yesterday the
father OF the boy stated that though he
was but twelve years of age he had been
running away almost since he was able to
walk, and that he could do nothing with
him. He had been arrested the father said,
about forty times for truancy and for loaf
ing, and had been under the charge of the
probation officer seven different times in
Philadelphia, twice in Newark and once in
Trenton.
The boy, it was stated, would not go to
school, having been in the classroom less
than month in two years. Both Mr..
Handiworker and his wife asked Judge
DeLacy to take charge of him. The boy
viewed the whole proceedings calmly and
evinced emotion. He seemed to be a
very bright boy and there are no indica-
tions of his lacking anything mentally.
Judge DeLacy sent him to the Industrial
Home School, under the care of the board
of chiidren's guardians, until he reaches
his majority.

BONES POINT TO MURDER.
Clue to Disappearance of Abraham
Gill in Montana.

NEW YORK. September 2S.-The disap-
pearance of Abraham Gill of Brooklyn a
year ago, which was followed by an ex-
haustive search, has been partly explained
in dispatches to his relatives here from
Landusky, Mont.
The truth seems to be that Gill was muir
dered, for charred bones supposed to be
his have been found in a cave near the
ranch he owned in Montana. Gill was a
member of good family and was a gradu-
ate of the Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute.
After graduation he bought a ranch in Mon
tana and prospered. He then took James
Winters into partnership and did even bet
ter. He eventually sold his interest In the
ranch Prior to this however, as a United
States deputy marshal he broke up gang
of bad characters in Montana. 1t is sup
posed that the brother of the man to whom
he sold the ranch was a member of the
gang for it is known that the night the
sale was closed this man rode away with
gill.
Since that night Gill has never been
seen Federal and private detectives made
search for him. but without avail. Gill's
horse was found near a cave, and in that
cave, his relatives learn. the bones supposed
to be his were found. Gill had two broth
ers Audubon and James and two sisters
living here or near here.

Money Value of the Crop-Practical
knowledge of Gardening-Recip-
tents of Certificates.

Flowers and ferns, and in some instances
potatoes and pumpkins, were IN evidence in
the public schools of the District yesterday
afternoon. The occasion was the annual
flower show of the pupils who had devoted
their spare time during the spring and
summer to horticulture, or GROWN
things" as a little first grade scholar at
the Seaton expressed 1t.
The parents and friends Of the scholars
had been invited TO witness the exhibition
in the several schoolhouses, and the youth
full gardeners evidenced their pride at the
result of their labor of sentiment during the
vacation time, when their books and other
paraphornaI liza of learning had been placed
upon the shelf AS result of the invita-
tons there were many visitors at the school
buildings between and ) o'clock yester-
day But as but little time had been al
lowed by the school authorities for prepara-
ton. there We're no unusual displays.
The exhibit Of Normal School No was
displayed at the childrens garden in the
Department of Agriculture because of re-
pairs that are being made to the Franklin
building y feature of this display was an
address by Mn y. f. Woods. assistant chief
of the bureau of plant industry. He com
nlended the children for their excellent
work during the summer.
II was stated that while the children who
worked during the summer are privileged TO
take home whatever they raise an accurate
account Is kept of the money value of their
crops at the current market prices. The
value placed upon them is S5G4 which is
said to be a remarkable showing for the
poor soil that all of the gardens have been
planted in.
Grown From Seed
Most of the flowers exhibited were grown
by the little gardeners from the seed they
purchased last spring, in garden spots in
their front back yards Not all the pu-
pills contributed flowers to the display 1t is
said an amateur Juvenile farmer who is
connected with the Ross School entered

PRESENTS A PROBLEM.
Inspector of Plumbing in Doubt Re
garding Name of Short Street. 90

Henry B. Davis, inspector of plumbing
for the District, is of the opinion that the
ubiic-spirited citizens who are racking
their brains for an appropriate name for
10th street might try to find out if Penn
sylvania avenue" is the correct name for
the thoroughfare running between the
White House and Lafayette Square. He
thinks that the popular and only name
known to the present generation for this
thoroughfare can be questioned, and gives
his authority an old plat of the Dis
trict executed somewhere back in the 30s.
On this ancient plat, although official
one then, Mr.. Davis says the thoroughfare
now known Pennsylvania avenue and
which runs from the intersection of Penn
sy.vania avenue and 18th street to the in
tersection of New York avenue and 10th
street is known as presidents Square"
The present plat has eliminated all refer
ence to Presidents Square" and it has
that thoroughfare down as pennsylvania
avenue"
over the possibility of any mistake in the
name of this prominent thoroughfare. He
happened to be preparing some preliminary
plans for public comfort station which
he recommended in his annual report to the
Commissioners to be erected beneath the
pavement at the northeast end of the
Treasury Department grounds. and the
question arose Whats the official name
of the street in front of the Treasury?'
One of his assistants said that he had
heard that Pennsylvania avenue wasn't
really it's name.
It's just it's common name" he said.
Capt. William Kelly, the new assistant
Engineer Commissioner. added to the mys-
terry by saying he had heard that the thor
oughfare had some other name by which
it is seldom called. The old plats were
looked up and sure enough the ancient
one had it down as presidents Square"
Mr.. Davis got interested then and after
a So,
about the District building and receiving
little information he called up the War
Department and the office of the SUPER
mtendent of public buildings and grounds
and in each instance he was politely but
firmly told that Pennsylvania avenue is its
official name.
