Refused Aims and Turned Away by Butler Man

NEW YORK. Feb 17.-Angered
when refused aims at the door, a
disheveled tramp retired to the street
and hurled a brick through one of
the library windows Of Miss Helen
Gould s Fifth avenue residence to-
night. Miss Gould was in IN adjoining
room and was unhurt, but Mrs. Ed
ward Scholes, standing near the win
dow, was struck squarely on the head
and escaped serious injury only be
cause of an abundance of hair.
AS it was. she was knocked pros
tratc and large bump raised ut the
base of her sknll. Police began search
for the beggar, but had not found him
late tonight.
Miss Gould, who was in an adjoining
room with two children, hurried into
the library when the heard the crash.
The butler summoned the police.
Mrs. Scholes refused medical attcn-
ton and explained she was not badly
hurt.

helped him before and he was in dire
distress now. He was so persistent
that when the butler attempted to shut
the door he placed his foot In the
opening and Withdrew ii only when
the heavy door squeezed it painfully.
AS the stranger departed the butler says
he heard him curse loudly, and five
minutes later the brick came hurtling
through the window.
Mrs. Scholes' profile could be seen
plainly from the street and the tramp
probably took her for Miss Gould The
brick he obtained from a nearby build

friend Of Miss Gould. The two chill

When reporters called at the residence
later they were told Miss Gould had
gone away for the night and would not
return until tomorrow morning. The
butler refused TO discuss the case in her
absence.
Mrs, Scholes kept the brick as a
souvenir and declined TO give it to the
police, although 1T will be used as evil
dence if the assailant is arrested.
