MANY MILES
FROM HOME
Small Boy From New York
Held by Local Police,
Unable to Give Address

The police and the Humane Society
are up against a proposition in the
case of a little Slav boy, who gives
the name Of John Kiemiech, which is
giving them trouble to solve. The boy
is a runaway and was picked up In the
Edge Moor yard Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad several days ago. since which
time Humane Agent Frank Stout ha,
been trying TO learn where the lad lives
so that he might send him home, but
his efforts have been unsuccessful.
The boy speaks but little English.
He says he is ten years Of age, but
looks to be -. His home, he told the
police was In New York, the house
number being 3O4, but the name OF
the street, he cannot remember. His
mother, he said, was employed in a
hotel conducted by a Hebrew.
When asked by a reporter for TUE
EVENING JOURNAL, where his father
was employed, the lad replied: Il got
no fadder. he was burned up a fire"
In City Court to-day Mr.. Stout in
formed Judge Cochran that he would
probably lnd a temporary home for
the boy, and asked that the case be
continued until next Monday, which
was done. He said ne had written to
the Humane Society in New York, but
hac as yet received no reply.
Mr.. Stout said today that the boy
was evidently foreign born and had
not been in this country long. He pre-
sumed that the youngster ran away
from his home and came TO Winning
ton on freight train.

PHILADELPHIA, April 2-Further
serious rIoting between negroes and Ital-
fans seeking employment on the new
Hammerstein Opera House occurred here
to-day and before the police could quel
the disorders several Of the fighters were
badly hurt. The fresh outbreak has caused
the greatest alarm as 1t is feared the race
feeling may become general and attacks
on some Of the foreign districts or negro
quarters follow.
Remembering yesterdays outbreaks eX-
ira police had been detailed to the site OF
the opera house at Broad and Poplar
streets. When the crowds Of men seek
ing employment began to arrive the otl-
GERS could not handle them. Hurry calls
for reserves were sent in and scores were
sent to the spot
In the fighting that preceded the arrival
of the reserves stones were hurled and
clubs wielded while few knives and re-
volvers were hourished. So far as known.
however. no one was slashed or stabbed
and there was no shooting.
Once the fighting started it extended for
several blocks. south OF the opera house
site. Luckless Italians on their way to
work at other places were pounced on by
negroes and badly beaten. For an hour
the rioting continued and the foreigners
had the worst OF It in all the encounters.

Finally the matter was referred to the

VANDERBILT TO

REFEREE NAMED TO

NEW YORK, April with the
papers in Mrs. Alfred Gwynne Wander
bilts divorce suit before them, the
husband's attorneys, Anderson and An
derson are preparing an absolute de-
NAL to every charge the wife makes
against their client.
While all preparations are being
made to resist the suit, il does not fol-
low that Vanderbilt will actually fight
the issuance Of a decree. This will de-
pend on the course mis- wife pursues.
If women's names are used in the
case, he is also prepared, il Is said, to
defend their characters and his own.
But # he seems likely to come out OF
the case without heavy monet iry
losses and his wife's references to his
women acquaintances are merely gen
eral the supposition is that there will
be little objection to the granting Of
an absolute divorce.
From the fact that Justice O'Gorman
has appointed a referee-David Nc
Clure, to hear the evidence and report
findings it is assumed that much sec
recy is to be observed
Neither Mrs Vanderbilt, her attor-
neys, Carter, Ledyard and Milburn, Mr.

She Declares That Her Double

EVELYN AND E. R. THOMAS
IN THE DINING ROOM
BY United Press Leased Special wire.

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
NEW YORK. April 2-Despite the
fact that Manager James B. Regan OF
the Hotel Knickerbocker. insists that
e. r. Thomas and Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw were the unwelcome guests he
asked to leave the hotel dining room
Monday night, denials were forthcom-
ing to-day from those interested. TIE
famous Doubles" of the couple were
once more rung in to take the blame
of the episode. Manager Regan is
firm in his identification. He says
Evelyn and Thomas entered the din
ing room about the time after theatre
guests We're arriving. Evelyn was at
once recognized by many Of the other
diners. At once Mr.. Regan called
Thomas aside and told him that they
would have to leave and asked him to
inform Evelyn that her patronage was
not desired. The colyole left inn
mediately and so automatically was
the ''ejectment" engineered that no
one in the place was the wiser for H.
Evelyn Denies Episode.
Evelyn had denied the episode to re-
porters before Manager Regan gave his
detailed confirmation. She declared
she had never been in the Knickerbocl-
er, but admitted being with Thomas
Tuesday night. Then she said:
There is an actress or somebody
who resembles me. She wears, linen
collars like I did and the other day
was almost mobbed In the subway by
rubbernecls who thought she was I.
On her account have given up linen
collars. Maybe she was at the Knick-
erbocker. If you want the solution Of
the whole thing look for an actress
named Lorraine. don't know her
first name, however. If these stories
about me and Mr.. Thomas continue
I'll go over to Sixth avenue and stand
on my head to give the papers some-
thing TO talk about"
May be a Double.
Two months ago it was reported
Evelyn and Thomas dined together at
the Cafe Boulevard. The doubles
were first brought into prominence
/, then. EVELYN at thai time went SO
far as to deny knowing Thomas. Ths
latter has so far confined himself 10
a general denial Of the story. limiting
at his own noted double" of the Cafe
Boulevard as the offenier.
