stories about the death of Pippin. In
September Allen gave up his position
at Marydel and started TO work at
Seaford, Del Yesterday Detective
Pohier met him al Clayton by ap.
pointment and questioned him closely
but learned nothing that would throw
any light on the case. Besides pro-
testing his innocence Allen offered To
aid the detective IN any way possible
20 learn who took the lap robe from
his carriage and raised II on the school

The lap robe was Identified by Mrs
Allen ana her parents. Mr.. and Mrs

as she reached the schoolhouse the
morning Il was discovered.
The discovery of the ownership OF

anything he has done was purely ac'
cidental. and he is not guilty of placing

the statement to Detective Pohler, and
on saturday night Harry Pippin,

BANK BONDS FIGHT

ED, PASSES WRANGLE ALONG,
BUT TEMPORARILY ACCEPTS
PERSONAL sURETiEs.

A compromise has been patched up
temporarily between the warning rae
tons in the ways and means commit

OF accepting a personal surety Dond
from the American Exchange Nation
al bank to secure the city FUNDS heid
there. The old surety company BOND
expires Jan. 6, and II was necessary
to arrange a temporary settlement or
else withdraw $450,O00 from the bank
to be deposited elsewhere.
The report which goes to the coun-
ell Tuesday night states that the ways
and means committee Is hopeiessiy
divided as to the ACCESSIBILITY OF ac-
cepting personal bonds from the
banks. It will ask that the whole mat
ter be referred TO the new council.
The majority OF the members OF
the committee. headed by Chairman
Heinemau and backed by City Treas
urer. Koch. were averse to accepting
any personal sureties unless the rate
OF interest paid to the city were Ill
creased. which the banks refused TO
do. with the exception Of the National
Rank OF Commerce. Three members
Of the committee, backed by Mayor
Thomson and Controller Doremus
wanted To accept such personal bonds
anyway.
"Tbe talk about there being no
money In handling the city deposits
is all exploded by thed disclosures In

when the matter came up for discus
sion.

It was finally decided to accept
personal bond from the bank pending

No action was taken with regard 10
the personal surety bond onered by
