Girl StumbIes in Dark and
Lands SenseIess in the
Orchestra.
PANIC AT LINCOLN SQUARE
Washington Irving High School
Student, Begged by Mother
to Stay at Home, Dies
in Hospital.

Several hundred persons who were at
tending moving picture and vaudeville
performance in the Lincoln Square The
atre. in Broadway. between 65th and
ssth streets were thrown into panic
last night when a fourteen year-old girl
fell from the gallery and landed i'm a
crumpled heap i'm one Of the aisles of the
orchestra circle. The girl, who was
Louise Loeffier, of No. los West s0th
street. was taken to the Flower Hospital.
where she died at 1920 o'clock this
morning.
In defiance Of her mothers command
the girl had gone to the theatre after
dinner with two companions-Bessie Al
lison. of No "A Columbus avenue. and
Ida Coughlin. of No. Ill West 6Oth street.
They went to seats well down toward the
first row in the gallery. Shortly before
o'clock they got up and went to the
cooler to get a drink of water. As they
walked along the promenade at the rear
Of the gallery seats and started to go
down the aisle a new film was thrown
on the screen.
to watch the picture. at the same time
feeling her way nervously down the steps,
which are very steep, she stumbled and
pitched forward. Her companions
screamed and started 10 run after her.
The unfortunate girl tumbled down the
twenty feet to the brass rail which runs
around the gallery at a distance Of about
three feet from the floor.
Under the weight of the girls body
and the force behind her fall the railing
gave way. Fifty feet below was the
orchestra. and already some of the au-
dience. alarmed by the screams Of the
girls in the gallery, had started to leave
their seats. Down among them she
crashed.
Employees of the theatre, and James
Smith, Of Engine "a. assigned to duty
there, had difficulty in making their
way to the girls side and calming the
terror-stricken audience at the same
time. A vaudeville team waiting TO do
a sketch came out on the stage and
tried to restore quiet and the musicians
icined in. The greater part of the au-
dience finally returned To watch the
show. and Smith carried the uncon-
sc.ous girl to the lobby OF the theatre
DR. Ayres, called from Flower Hospi-
tai, after brief examination said that
she had received a compound fracture
at the base of the skull. and was suffer
ing also from internal injuries. He hur-

and between hysterical sobs Mrs. Loeff1er
repeated that she had told her daughter
not to go to the theatre last night. The
girl and her companions are students at

LAYS 1T ON SPIRITS.
Sanders Says rhey Got Doctors Money
and His, Too.

Hutchinson Kan, March S.-Not
John Sanders but the spirits appro-
priated the money which Drs. ]. M.
Pitzer and Edward E. Richardson de-
posted in the center of table at the
latter's residence during the seance
when it is alleged Sanders robbed the
physicians of $2,00O-at least, that is
| the statement of Sanders. Sheriff G.
| NJ. -Duckworth brought Sanders back to
| Hutchinson from Denver, after
strenuous effort on the part of the
mans attorneys to secure a writ of
| habeas corpus following his arrest on
the charge of robbery a week ago.
you see, it was this way" Sanders
told the sheriff, while the two were
making the homeward trip. "Dr. Pit

| to some profit. OF course we did not
suspect the spirits of any dishonesty.
the middle of the room and made
known that it was our desire that they
show us how We could get good re-
turns on it, The doctors together put
down $4,000 and put down $500. The
lights were turned out and when they
were turned IN again the money was
gone-mv money with the rest that
was in the pile.''
Sanders with Sheriff Duckworth ar
rived home at 1 o'clock Sunday after
noon. The week previous he and his
| attorneys had held many private con-
ferences endeavoring to pick flaws in
the requisition papers which Governor
Stubs had issued. But these attempts
to foil the state of Kansas were in
vain. The requisition was not only
honored by Governor Shafroth of Colo
RADIO, but the application for a writ
of habeas corpus was denied by Judge
Allen of the criminal division of the
district court at Denver.
While Sanders maintains that he
should not be held responsible for what
the spirits did, circumstances point to
the fact that he must have been on
good terms with them at least. His
attorneys charged him $3.50 for their
advice and it is believed the conscience
stricken spirits may have returned
Sanders ali but $50 of the amount of
money which he declares. he lost at
the Seance.

MAE WOOD HEARD FROM
She Will Make Contest for Share of
the Plat Estate.

Omaha, Neb.. March s.-Mae G. Wood,
who attained considerable newspaper
fame year or two ago by her claim
of marital relations with the late Uni
ted States Senator Thomas c. Platt. OF
New York, last night announced her
intention of making an effort to secure
recognition as his widow. She said
CT shall Immediately go to New York
and make personal demand upon his
son that I be placed in possession of
Mr.. Platt's affairs until the will is
read.
But do not expect Frank Platt to
let me get in control. I will make the
formal demand as a foundation for the
legal fight which I expect to have to
put up in order to get my rights.
II am absolutely sure that somewhere
in Mr.. Platt's private papers will be
found proofs that 1 was legally married
to him..
Miss Wood is now on her big ranch
near Julesburg, Col. and kilograms
containing information of Senator
Platt's death reached her there.
For some years Miss Wood lived in
Omaha and has practiced law here.
