BOY TUMBLEs FIVE STORIES.
Instantly Killed by Fall From Fire
Escape-Companions Ran Away.

New York. May 21.-Six-year- old
Morris Bloch, whose parents live at
SeS Myrtle avenue. Brooklyn, was killed
yesterday by falling about fifty feet
from fire escape in the rear of his
home. The boy with two others was
playing on the fire escape on the fifth
floor when Bloch dropped through the
opening to the ground. Instead of
giving an alarm the boys companions
ran away.
Occupants of brownstone dwellings
on Vernon avenue, in the rear of the
house from which the boy fell, saw him
lying apparently lifeless on the ground
and called a policeman. An ambulance
surgeon who was summoned said the
boy had been instantly killed.

How to Treat
the Hair

dry. Why? Because it con.
tains just enough free Cocoa
nut Oil to leave the hair
glossy and lustrous, but not
enough to leave it greasy.
Use Birt's Head Wash regu-
larly, and your scalp will be
cleaner and your hair more
beautiful than you imagine
One single trial will open
your eyes to the great truth
that beautiful hair does not
come from fake tonics, re-
juyenators and growers, but
from cleaning the scalp and
hair with Birt's Head Wash,
which is made of the follow
ing ingredients: Refined Soap,
Glycerin, White of Eggs, Co
chin Cocoanut Oil and Sali-
cylic Acid. Price 50 cents.

covered tine details of the accident
which has confined his 7-Year-Old son
in the hospital with a broken skull.
The lad was kicked by a horse be-
longing to Pat Sullivan, a noighbor,
down on Leland street several days
ago but no one knew more. Fribance
has learned that it was something of
8 love affair which caused it.
Maggie daughter of Pat sullivan,
he says led that horse down the street
her mother and hold tryst with a lover
down the lane. While there she let the
horse loose and he wandered away.
Then she yelled to F'ribance's little boy
and girl 20 come and set the horse.
The children did so and the boy in
following the horse was kicked on the
head. DIR. Keith rushed to the scene
to the hospital and was operating on
him in 20 minutes. 81 give the credit

He was charged with posting up
baking pow der signs. The brand is the
one he sells and therefore he got his
name on a warrant. But the posters
had been put up during a cooking ex-
hibitiOn in the city last spring by a
travelling representative and not Mr.
Swift. Hence the recall of the order.

going back to Indiana to convince his
constituents that he should not have
been retired, was to inform the
speaker that his old committee would
be more peaceful if Murdoch were re-
moved.
1T is probable that the speaker
will shunt the auburn-haired Kansan
off to the committee on acoustics,
or some body equally as useful. That
will not worry Murdoch in the least,
for he will then have plenty of time
to pick flaws in the rules and plot for
the downfall of Cannonism.
