Mcdonald captured his prisoner
whose name as near as he could learn
was william Goat
Your under arrest for butting III,
Mcdonald told his prisoner.
With a natural-born detective instinct
Mcdonald concluded that he had the
robber of the clotheslines in that sec
ton of the city.
Goat was no ordinary prisoner. There
was nothing in the book of rules TO
tell Mcdonald what to do under the
circumstances, SO he took the prisoner
to his home and tied him to a post IN
the rear of his house in Elizabeth
avenue.
Early the next morning a n~eighbor
happened to see McDonald's prisoner
chewing some clothes on the line In the
yard. Not knowing of the arrest, he got
a club and started to do things to the
clothesline thief. Mcdonald heard the
confusion in the yard, and. poklng his
out of the window, shouted that
prisoner was being stolen. McDon-
aid then decided to call up Sergeant
Mcclellan, of the First Precinct station,
to find out where he would take his
prisoner.
Take him over to police headquarters
and have his picture taken" sug-
gested Mcclellan.
do they take goats over there?"
asked Mcdonald.
81 don't know; you'll have to ask
Captain Carroll replied McGeehan.
Finally Mcdonald told Mcclellan that
the prisoner was a real billygoat, and
that he held him a prisoner all night at
his home.
Don't be butting in here with any
snapped back Mcclellan. you
take him to the pound"

TO HEAR OF WRECK
RAILROAD COMMISSION TO
CONSIDER CAMDEN CRASH.
Pennsylvania Official Will Testify Be-
fore Body ~Today-City Council Tries
to Determine Safety of Tracks.

CAMDEN, Jan. 1S.-The first hearing
by the special committee appointed by
the Camden Council to investigate the
rear-end collision on the Pennsylvania
Railroad, just outside the Camden ter
minal, on December 81, when three
were killed and a score injured, was
held last night in the Camden City
Hall.
City Solicitor Bleakly served notice on
the assembled committeeman and spec
tators that the committee had no power
to summon witnesses to show whether
or not there was criminal negligence.
That question, he announced, rested
entirely with the Grand Jury. The
most important matter to be consid-
cred by the committee, he said, was
whether or not the construction of he
elevated structure on which the wreck
occurred contributed in any way to
the disaster.
Asked about the speed limit of trains
within the city limits, Mr.. Bleakly
stated that he did not think that the
ordinance permitting the elevation OF
the tracks provided for speed.
The only witnesses examined were
Policemen Jesse Smith, Wagner. Car
roll and Keaser, who were first or the
scene of the accident. They seemed to
know but little concerning signals or
anything pertaining to railroads.
Officer Wagner thought that II a red
light had been displayed at Fourth
street, instead of a green or white sig
nal, the accident might have been
averted.
representing the railroad company,
William Coffin stated that he did not
care to testify before the committee;
that he would simply make a state
ment.
He said that Superintendents Weir
man and Lowell, of the Pennsylvania
and the West Jersey and Seashore
Railroads, respectively, would appear
before the State Railroad Commission
to testify today. For this reason they
were not present last night.
Asked whether or not he had any
recommendations to offer, Mr.. Coffin
replied:
"That matter is now in the hands of
experts"

BOYBRTOWN, Jan. 1S.-This was
another day of funerals in Boyertown,
the scene of last Monday nights
theatre-fire horror, in which 173. per-

vehicles had to be pressed into service
from neigl boring places.
Many If the dead were taken to
churches, where services were held. As
soon as one funeral cortege departed
another party of mourners would enter
the edifice. The great feasts for which
the Pennsylvania Germans are noted
as giving on funeral occasions were
omitted in every household which lost
a membe in the fire. One of the sad
>dest funerals of the day was that of
the six Meyer girls, three of them sis
tiers and the other three cousins.
There we're several double funerals of
husband and wife. Among those buried
was DR.. Frank Drummer, a former State
Senator and one of the best known
men in Berks County.
A large force of men was put TO
work today in the ruins to remove
the ashes and other debris. 1t will be
taken to Fairview Cemetery, where IL
will be sifted for jewelry and other
articles of value, after which the ashes
will be buried in a trench alongside OF
that which win contain the unknown
dead.
All the churches have
that there will be no regular services
tomorrow. The entire day will be given
over to the funerals n the work Of
getting together the broken congrega-
lions and Sunday school classes.
