on ship-board, how to make a moose
and various knots in clothesline Sat-

bakery, where he was getting Sc a
week. When he did not return at his
usual time his wife had occasion to
go to the cellar Of their home at SO
Monmouth street. and there she found
him dead, hanging from a gas-pipe by
the rope in which she had seen him

MAYNARD GIRL IS
DEFIANT IN COURT
AS MOTHER WEEPS
Mrs. Van Horn Begs Judge to
Send Daughter to a Re-
f0rmatOry.

In a voice filled with emotion
Mrs. Joseph Van Horn, of 27S South
Ninth street. today begged Judge Herr
in the Second Precinct Police Court to
send her daughter, Mira Van Horn, IA
years old, to some institution where she
might be curbed of her wayward habits.
The daughter, an attractive girl, and
having the appearance of being fully
four years older than the age given by
her mother, stood by her side with a
defiant air.
After making her piteous appeal Mrs.
Van Horn gave way to her emotion,
affecting the most hardened of the court
attendants. She began by saying that
for some time past Mira had remained
out until midnight repeatedly, and that
recently she had failed to appear at her
home until the following day, refusing
to give any account of where she had
been the night before.
II have two other children" said Mrs.
Van Horn, lone of whom is paralyzed,
and. owing to the fact that my husband
deserted me three years ago. Mira has
been working and helping me to sup
port the family. Although l will greatly
miss her assistance, I am convinced
that she is keeping bad company and,
rather than have her disgrace herself
and the other members of the family,
/ implore you to send her to some in
stitution where she will be compelled
to recognize authority and give up her
companions"
When asked what she had to say in
her behalf the girl simply tossed her
head, and said that she could explain
away every allegation made by her
mother. She said she thought she had
a perfect right to do as she pleased
and that If she were not given that
right she would leave home entirely.
So defiant did she become that Judge
Herr ordered her to be silent, and then
proceeded to tell her in no uncertain
words that she would have to obey her
mother or be sent to some institution
where obedience was compulsory.

staff, and Detective Sergeant Godfrey,
of the prosecutors office, will be sent
to Seattle, Wash, to bring back Elliott

reason than any of the other sleuths
When Archer left this city, it is said
that he was accompanied by a Mrs.
Everett aGrrison. whose husbane is
now resident of New York, and en-
gagged there in insurance brokerage.

leading belle of this city from the
"TIill" section.

TW0.|NCH BOLT

He WILL SURVIVE
Surgeons Amazed by Smith
Walking in Hospital with
Gaping Hole in Skull.

Patrick Smith Is in st. Jamess Hos

having been told that her husband S
employers have sent him out of the
city on urgent business. 1t was feared
that II she knew her husband is In the
hospital the information might be fatal.
The surgeons are marveling as much
on how Smith reached the hospital as
on his survival from the injury. He
was bossing a gang Of men drilling a
well at the plant of the Rex Imperial
Leather Company In Chapel street Sat-
urday afternoon. when heavy bolt
dropped from the scaffolding sixty feet
above him and struck on the crown of
his head.
Smith was staggered for a second.
and when he clapped his hands to his
head he found the bolt sticking upright
through his skull and penetrating his
brain. Workmen went to his relief and
pulled the bolt out of his head. Then
Smith boarded a street car and rode
as near the hospital as possible and
walked, unassisted, the rest of the way.
When he applied for treatment he told
the surgeons that he guessed he had
a pretty bad scalp wound"
The doctors found that the bones on
the crown of his head had been crushed
in and that the brain had been pene-
trated. The broken bones were taken
out. and silver plate will be inserted.
The doctors say he will likely recover.

rhe trolley car service on all the
lines In this city Will be Increased <o
her cent. In the next week, and the
regular schedhle changed so as to give
better accommodation for the people
living In the IrOnbOund district. This
was decided ON at "a conference be-
tween the officials of the Public Serv-
Ice Railway Company and representa-
lives of the Board of Works In the
city Hal today.
Colonel Edwin w. Hine, secretary of
the Public Service Corporation, and N
w. Bolan, superintendent of traffic,
represented the trolley people, while
Commissioner Arthur r. Denman,
chairman Of the streets and highways
committee of the Board of Works;
Commissioner Thomas F. Halpin, Elec-
trical Engineer Joseph Crawford and
General Superintendent Of Works
Charles Shipman represented the
Board of Works.
For several hours the municipal au-
thoritIes and the trolley officials went
bver schedule after schedule and plans
Tor the Improvement of the service
were discussed.
Colonel Hine, in explaining why the
service had fallen off, said that one of
the large engines at the Gold street
bower house had broken down some
lime ago.
He SO that there were 412 cars run
hing now and that by December 10
there would be 500 cars in operation,
and the schedule all arranged for the
handling of the holiday crowds.
Suggest Loop Change.
The arguments on the stalling Of
cars, running Of "tripper' cars and
using the loop at the Pennsylvania
railroad were discussed by both sides,
and several times 1t looked as though
there would be no concessions. Com
missioner Halpin referred to reports of
Inspector Crawford showing that there
were large number of South Orange
avenue cars sent around the loop, SO
that below the Pennsylvania railroad
the service was practically demoralized
in the morning and evening rush hours.
Commissioner Halpin suggested that
some of the cars should be sent below
the railroad, and was asked by Colonel
Hine If this running below the railroad
of the cars that now take the loop
would not paralyze the service on the
fIill.
This question of regulating the troll
lev system is so big that 1t will not be
settled in your lifetime or mine,' de-
elared Colonel Hine. THE people have
become so used to the accommodation
of the service that they really expect
more han can be given them. We are
using every available car in the rush
hours, and the traffic schedule is in
creased when 1t looks as though there
was going to be storm so as to handle
Z the increased crowds"

acres of beets, an so acre factory site
ana sman cash bonus in addition. We
kave already secured 5000 of the acres
of the 5000 required, and I believe that
there Will be no difficulty about sec,,r-
Ing the balance. 1t will mean a big
thing for Goodland and for the sur
rounding country. The country is
adapted to raising the sugar beets, the
land is fertile and the best water in
the state can be procured at a depth of
from 100 to 125 feet. There is an under
ground river at that depth and you can
sink well anywhere and get all the
water necessary. Goodland is feeling
the effects of good times and is pushing
right ahead. We have taken off the lid
financially and are meeting all the de-
mands that are made at the banks for
cash with promptness"
