SENATE PASSES THE M'NEIL BILL FOR THE ADVISORY
 INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM
RABBITS FOOT AND SKULL OF:
 SOLID IVORY
These Combine to Save Gilmore When Derrick Boom Falls
 Upon Him

Sometimes they say I'm solid ivory, doc," said John Gilmore, a stalwart negro teamster, when pr. Krause of the ambulance corps ask ed Gilmore to account for his escape from instant death, at the dock of the Connecticut Web Go. in Knowlton street, this forenoon.
 The traditional durability of the skull of the negro was exemplified in the case of Gilmore, who will in all likelihood recover from what spec tators thought for the moment meant instant death.
 Gilmore was driving wagon which was being loaded with trap rock. A cable upon the derrick snapped, and a boom nearly as big as a telegraph pole fell down upon the negro. He sat upon the seat of the cart. The boom hit him upon the head. He fell upon the dock unconscious.
 When Dr. Krause arrived, the negro was regaining his senses slowly. The ambulance. doctor looked at the negro. then at the big beam that had fallen upon him. After he had explained that some people said his head was of solid ivory, Gilmore confidently showed the doctor rabbits foot he says he has carried for years. He said that was the real reason for his escape. Gill; more was taken to the Bridgeport hospital for observation.

Red Waller Jr.
 Pitched Pennies
 With Young Sam
Bat Boy of Mechanics Tells Court He ls Support of His
 Family-Boys Are
 Discharged

Police Captain Anderson walked Through the Arcade yesterday just in ytime to catch the pair pitching pen- nies. Many compiaints from the merchants of the vicinity had led to several attempts to arrest the mis- ichievous youngsters. The captain in plain clothes. took the boys un- iawHres.
 Today both protested that they were pot gambling. Red was walking through the alley, to buy couple of newspapers at a stand inside, when he met Sam. The latter was play hng a game of solitaire, pitching pen stuttered out a request for three cop Pers, and then they pitched. But 1t wasn't for k-k-k-keeps, Nudge" stuttered Red, nervously fin that they were merely doing it for hun that they weren't gambling.
 Your parents here." asked Judge Foster of Sammy.
 T can't see," said the lad. Then it became known that Sam had been ency. and that the doctors said he would go blind if he didn't have plenty of time in the air. So he had been sent home.
 Your people here?" they asked m-m-mother," said Red. Then in an undertone, and with an appealing glance, to Judge Foster, he said, T s-s-s-support the family
 Red has been a truant in his time, but lately he is an earnest struggling newsboy during the forenoon and nights and afternoon he is at work at the ball park Both were dis charged.
 Upon the slate he was Joe Farfel, but among the cops at police head quarters. he was 'Red Waller, Jr.'' the bat boy of fhe Mechanics who is as familiar to the thousands of fans who flock to Newfield park almost as is his more widely famed name sake
 Joe was arrested yesterday noon in an alley leading to the Post Office Arcade from Cannon street. With l1im was a youngster who gave the name of Samuel Cinco. Both are 15, but Sam looks about 8.
 The pair spent the night in police Headquarters. Neither would send word home to their parents that they had fallen into the tolls of the police. Red declared his arrest was an in justice. but Sam said very little.
 This morning the two squatted in an obscure corner of the city court. Half a dozen newsboy friends of Red were gathered in the spectators benches. Red and Sam were the last to be called, and the court room was cleared before they were humiIiated by being brought before bar of jus fice-
 They were charged that they "did play a game commonly called pitch 5ng pennies, for a valuable thing, to wit, for money" Both Sam and Red pleaded not guilty.
 Sam's mother was in court. She eafd her son was a model youth, al ways home early and a well behaved youngster.
 Prosecutor Redden recognized in the woman the mother of two more prisoners who were in police head quarters this morning. They were Patrick and Richard Rosiano, aged 10 and 12 years, whom Patrolman Larkin and Special Policeman George Peabody, the Main street night watch man. found sleeping in a big box back of the Hub Clothing Co. at II last night She said Sam didn't try to sleep out nights. So all three we're turned over to the mother, after Sam and. Red had given their records to Probation Officer Garfield.
