HIGH PERCH HOLDS
GIRLS UNTIL DARK

NEW YORK, July 21.-Traffic was at
it's liVeliest in Fifth avenue at O'CLOCK
when two feminine heads emerged
from a third-story window OF the
building at the southwest corner OF
Thirty-seventh street and two pairs or
arms began to wave trantlcally 10 Ine
gazing populace. A gilt lettered sign
Just below the window announced that
the owners of the heads and arms were
in a dressmaking establishment. 1t
was later discovered that the two wo-
men were locked in and feared to de-
scend ladder before darkness fell.
At first various suggestions were
made by the large crowd as to the
cause of the demonstration until 1t
occurred to some one to ask the girls.
When sufficient quiet had been re-
stored this was done. In answer a
piping voice floated down the wind:
1--WE can't get out; we're locked In
Jump and I'll catch you'll" shouted
a waggish person, holding out his arms.
mo, We'll get a blanket" yelled an
other of the same type. Poor things,
murmured the feminine portion of the
audience, what will their mothers
think if they are kept there all night p
BY this time the avenue was blocked
! from curb to curb by automobiles,
'busses and other vehicles. The con-
gestion brought Policemen Rodihan
the situation, Rodihan made a mega
phone of his hands and shouted up:
Get out on the fire escape in Thirty
seventh street and we will get lad

There was a scramble by the male
portion of the crowd to get around
| into Thirty-seventh street, when it was
observed that the two prisoners were
shaking their heads vigorously, and
presently the piping voice fioated down
again.
Were not coming down any ladders
now, we'll wait till it's dark; where
upon lusty chorus went up. Were
afraid to come down till it's dark!
And they did not. For nearly two
hours they kept their station at the
window, while one crowd melted away
and another gathered, and the two po-
licemen kept in touch with the situa-
ton. Then, when night had fallen, the
perilous descent was made.
There was a long parley at the tor
of the fire escapes as to which cir
should start first, but one did, and got
safely to the end of the iron ladder
which reached only to a balcony al
the top of the first floor. To this tht

WHO TAKES TO HEELS
Judge Declares Family Row Is Too
Much for Mere Human Being
to Declde-Dsmisses
Case

After Justice Rose yesterday had
dismissed the domstic controversy be-
tween the Gerleman and Dawson clans
as too complicated for judgment by a
mere human being" Mrs. Dawson car
ried the war into the corridor of the
court and opened fire on John L. Sulli-
van, a witness who had delivered testi-
Mony antogonistic to the Dawson side.
The woman, after passing a few un-
complimentary remarks TO sullivan,
rubbed his ears none too gently and
attempted a corkscrew jab at his jaw.
Sullivan did not live up to his his
toric cognomen. He did not even wait
for the count, but went down and out
of the building in double-quick time.
The case was a family row between
the Dawsons and the Gerlenians, two
families that live in unneighborly prox-
unity at 514 South Main street. Beer
bottles and fisticuffs were alleged to
have been exchanged on several occa-
sions by both families. AS conse-
ouence of one of these skirmishes S. c.
Dawson was hailed into court on an
assault and battery charge.
The complicated details Of the family
war were too much for the Justice, and
he dismissed the case.

means that so per cent or more of this
money will remain here; 1t means work
for the day laborer; 1t means an adj
ditional increase in population; 1t
means an increase in the value of real
estate; it means that you and / may
enjoy these highways during our life

legacy to. posterity; it means about

assessed valuation on property as now
assessed eacn year lor the next nVe

the bringing and expanding of thou

permanent highways, not the expen-
diture of our money for roads that
are worn out within period of twelve
months after completion-the method
now in vogue; it means advancement
and progress and an investment that
will pay; and I know that every real
estate dealer and owner in Los An
