Until an Ingenious Policeman
Came to the Rescue

PHILADELPHIA. May 5.-As she

ing from a car at Chelton avenue and
Main street, Germantowns busiest cor
ner, this afternoon, a richly gowned
young woman of about 20 suddenly
stopped and flushed scarlet.
As she stood there it seemed as
though nature were performing mir
acle and causing fine linen and lace
and little pink bows to sprout like grass
from the roadway beneath her.
Passengers on the car noticed her
plight. AS one man they descended
and gazed. After them followed the
motorman and conductor. They, too
gazed Drivers refined painting horses
to join the spectators. Then more cars
came up with more eager-eyed pas
sengers, and traffic Of all kinds halted
In the center of the mob the young
woman stood still, not speaking nor
crying, nor laughing. but blushing.
Then some newsboys started song
To the tune of THE Holy City they
chanted you're losing them, you're
losing them" and scores Joined in.
Two blocks away Policeman Keeney
of the Germantown station heard the
uproar He came on the run. With a
sweep of his eye he saw the cause of
the trouble From the crowd he Sc

them together in 4 circle, with the girl
in the center, ami spread their skirts
around her until the situation could be
saved by means of safety pins.

woman into the postoffice to escape the
crowd Finally a rear door was opened
and she escaped through it. Her name

MERGER PROBING
TAKES NEW LEAD
GIGANTIC COMBINATION KEEPS
OUT RIVALS
OREGON SUFFERS FROM TOO
MUCH HARTMAN
Witness TestlfIes Surveys and Prop
erty Rights of Corvallis G. East
ern Road Acquired for
Base Purposes
rIsy Associated Press.l

PORTLAND, May 5.-The govern
ment switched suddenly today in it's
line of probing the Hartman merger
from showing that it had throttled
business competition to showing that it
was a part of the gigantic combination
to bottle up the entire business of the
state of Oregon, keep other rival sys-
TENS out and develop new lines as 1t
saw fit.
Wallis Nash, former president of the
Portland board of trade, and William
Hanel, a leading cattleman of south
eastern Oregon, were witnesses TO-DAY.
Nash's testimony showed that year
ago the Corvallis & Eastern road, now
a Hartman subsidiary, had been sur
veyed clear across the state of oregon,
and could be established over the Cas-
cades from the present terminus, and
there was an enormous sheep and cat
tie raising empire which extension OF
this line might develop. He testified
that the Hartman people had acquired
the surveys as well as the physical
property of this line, but had made no
efforts whatever to extend the road.
He stated that only about % per cent
of the entire region now neglected by
the railroad was fit for dry farming.
Hanley showed intimate knowledge of
the interior of the state and said what
ever surveys had been made in that
country had been made by the Harri-
man people.

News of the Courts
WANTS GUARDIAN FOR
HER 35-YEAR-OLD SON
MOTHER SAYS MAN FALLS IN
LOVE TOO OFTEN
Woman TestIfies Offspring Threatened
to XIII Her Unless She Pro-
vIded Money to Buy
Basket Hat

II can stand 1t no longer; he has
almost broken my heart" exclaimed
Mrs. Ada Bran, petitioner for the APP
pointment of guardian to watch over
her 35-year-old. son, Henry Scheer, and
defendant in $4,000 damage suit in
which the son is plaintiff, as she con-
cluded her story in the former pro-
ceeding in Judge Rives' department of
the superior court yesterday.
Mrs. Bran, who lives at Thirty
sixth street and Budlong avenue, and
is reputed to own property valued at
quarter of a million dollars, said the
incompetency of her son was manifest
ed in many ways, his principal failing
being a habit of falling in love with
every woman with whom he became
acquainted.
"At one time he wanted to marry
my servant girl, and then it was the
washWoman. A few weeks later he
wrote to me from San Francisco, ask
ing my consent to his marriage with
a widow with large family, and when
/ refused he wanted to marry a Mex
lean girl"
The latest trouble, said Mrs. Bran,
occurred in November last, when
Scheer became infatuated with Miss
Title Gieshla, threatening to kill his
mother II She Qld not furnish him
money with which to purchase a bas-
ket hat, a silk dress and a diamond
ring for the object of his affection. He
also wanted his mother to pop the
question to the young woman in his
behalf.
Miss Gieshla's pretty black eyes
snapped angrily when she heard Mrs.
Brams statements. She will be a wit
ness when the hearing is resumed
Monday.
81 am quite wealthy in my own
right" she said, land do not need any
more hats or dresses. l wouldn't
marry Henry under any consideration.
Furthermore, he never asked me. 1t
is his mother who is seeking to make
the match"
1t was owing to Scheer's infatuation
for Miss Gieshla, 1t is claimed by his
mother, that she sent him to San
Francisco last November to be cared
for by friends in that city He re-
turned to Los Angeles a few weeks
later, created something of a sensation
by his statements that he had been
carried away from Los Angeles by two
men employed by his mother, and filed
a suit charging her with abduction and
demanding damages in the sum of
$4,000. The trial of this case is set
for May II.

FORGER APPEALS TO
OIL KING FOR HELP
FEARED MAN IN COUNTY JAIL
is INSANE
Writes to John D. Rockefeller Asking
for Return Of Loan of $75o
and for Protec-
ton

J. r. Veach, found guilty by jury
two weeks ago on charge of forgery,
appealed yesterday to John Rockefeller
for aid, and the letter, penned to the
oil king in the narrow confines of the
convicted mans cell at the county JAIL
may be the means whereby a sentence
in the penitentiary is forestalled and
confinement in the asylum at Patton
may result.
The time for Veach's sentence was set
by Judge Willis for last Saturday, but
the exhibition of certain idiosyncrasies
led to an examination into his mental
condition by the lunacy commission
Monday. The commissions findings re-
suited in Veach's discharge from the
charge of insanity and he was taken
back to the county jail. Since that
time, it is said, he has been under close
observation and the peculiarities that
marked his every action following the
trial have become more pronounced.
Veach apparently labors under the
belief that Rockefeller is indebted to
him for money advanced the millionaire
during the financial depression. The
amount is only $3.50, but in addition to
demanding its return Veach requests
the man he says he benefited to furnish
bail for his release. His letter, adj
dressed to Rockefeller at his Cleveland,
o., home, reads as follows:
"Hon John D. Rockefeller; My Dear
Sir-I send you this through the police
department of your city that you may
pay them the $3.50 you owe me on the
note you gave last September, payable
two years after date. Please pay it to
them at once. My trial comes off on
the 18th of this month. want you to
protect me and bail me out, for 1 am
innocent of the charge made against
me. I think 1 explained the whole mat
ter to you in a former letter. / know
you will stand by me, for you said you
would; and you have always done as
you agreed to with me-
Unless Veach's actions since his dis
charge by the lunacy commission are
considered sufficient reason for another
examination he win appear before
Judge Willis for sentence Saturday.

cLERGYMANs BODY RECOVERED
 IN FISHERS ISLAND SOUND
Captain Sissare of Noank Found Body
 of Rev. H. L. Mitchell.

The body of Rev. Herbert Lincoln Mitchell, whose life was lost on Aug ust 3, in an heroic attempt to save Clarence Blakesley from drowning, was found floating in the waters of Fishers Island sound Tuesday morn ing. As far as it is possible to esti- mate the point where the body was found is less than half a mile from where the Episcopal minister and his boy organist were drowned just a week from the time the body was re- covered.
 The body was found floating by men on the fishing schooner Aunt Edie of Noank, Capt. James Sistare. It was lowed into the wharf at Fort H. C.. Wright, and Rev. A. c. Jones of Mys- tic, who knew MT. Mitchell well, was asked to come to Fishers island and identify it for official satisfaction. MT. Jones was unable to go, but he sent c. c. McGaughey over to the island and the Identification was made.
 A New London undertaken was ask ed to send for the body and his as- sistant brought it back on the steamer Restless. Permission to, remove the body from New York state was given by Justice of the Peace A. K. Hine of Fishers Island. The remains wait in New London for the family to de- eide on funeral arrangements.
 The clothing and teeth of the body afforded the only means of identifica- tion. The torso was not decomp0sed, having probably been sunk in deep, cold water which preserved it. The features were unrecognizable.
 Mir. Mitchell was rector at Plvm- out. He had formerly presided over parishes in Yantic, Saybrook and Mystic
