Attacked by an unknown man in
broad daylight as she was going to
church through Brandywine Park
about 7.45 o'clock yesterday morning,
Miss Mary Hughes, aged 16 years.
living at No. Ills Wawaset street, is
now at her home suffering from shock
and nervousness and an ugly bruise
on her forehead she received by COM
ing in contact with the hard walk to
which she was thrown by her assail-
ant
Miss Hughes was attacked within
a stones throw of her home and the
affair was the most daring perpetrated
in that park for some time. Had il
not been for Frederick Sailor, shoe
maker, employed at Eighth and Will
son streets, and Park Guard Ritzman,
1t is likely the girl would have fallen
a victim to her assailant.
Miss Hughes was hurrying through
the park and was nearing Jefferson
street when she heard some one run
ming up behind her She heard the
footsteps when she was passing the
lower end Of the Wilmington and
Brandywine Cemetery, but did not
look back, having been taught not to
do this under such circumstances, lest
her action might be misconstrued by
the person following her.
She never though of danger, how
ever, feeling secure in tho daytime
and in such a public place. Just as
she crossed Jefferson street she was

attracted from behind. her assailant
throwing one arm around her neck
and with the other he bore her TO
the ground Her head struck the walk
with considerable force.
Realizing her predicament she be-
gan to scream and this attracted the
attention of Sailor who was seated on
bench on the opposite side of the
race, reading a newspaper. He was
facing the Brandywine creek and was
not aware of the presence OF the girl
until he heard her scream.
When the girls assailant saw Sailor
coming he let go his victim and put
ting his hand in his back pocket pre-
pared to defend himself. In the mean
time the girl ran along the park drive
toward Washington street bridge.
FORK Guard Ritzman standing on that
bridge at the time, saw her coming
and he ran toward her.
Sailor fearing that the man was
armed made no effort to retain him
and he ran up Jefferson street hill
and disappeared.
Sailor then started after the girl
and Ritzman who saw him coming
thought he was the man from whom
the young women was running, and
he started after Sailor, quickly over
taking him. Sailor explained the af-
fair and Miss Hughes who had stop
ped finally managed to tell her story
Ritzman took her home.
A search was made for the assailanl
but he left no trace behind him.

IT AN ACCIDENT

Found in bed nearly esphyxiated BY
members Of her family, between and
o'clock this morning. Miss Caddie
L. Daniels. aged 22 years. OF No. 4SS
South Van Buren, street, died about
10 o'clock. despite the efforts OF Drs.
Daniel l. McColley and Elwood l.
Rogers to save her life
Coroner Chandler made an investi-
cation and from what he learned he is
convinced that the young womans
death was accidental. He said at noon
that he would issue certificate Of
accidental death, without holding an
inquest
Coroner Chandler said that the body
of the young woman partly undress-
ed, was found lying on the he'd. In
her hands was a newspaper which she
had evidently been reading before
sleep came to her eyes. The two
windows In the room were open and
the screens In them. The blinds were
drawn, however, and the door to the
room closed, but not locked. The
from this, flowed the poisonous fumes,
which resulted In the young woman's
death. The jet Is located near one
of the windows and close enough to
the bed that anyone lying down, could
reach up and turn out the light.
Whether the young woman turned out
the light and then accidentally turned
il on, or whether she did not turn It
out at all. and fell asleep, about the
time a pun of wind coming In through
the window extinguishod the flame,
viii never be known.
The coroner feels that the affair
was entirely an accident from the fact
that the young woman was 10 all APP
pearances reading the newspaper
which was found I'm her hands, before
she became unconscious. The room
was filled with gas but considerable
must have escaped through the open
windows. Had the bed not been SC

might still be living.
There was life in her body when
she was found and Drs. Rogers anC

MYSTERY OF

VII 0nSin Police Puzzled by
Finding Body Of Seven
Year Old Annie Lemberger
MAY HAVE BEEN SLAIN
BY UNKNOWN DEGENERATE
By The United Press.

by Inc united treSS.
MADISON, Wis, Sept. 11-From
house surrounded by a great crowd Of
neighbors and curious visitors and
through streets lined with people, tho
body OF Annie Lemberger, years old,
found I'm the lake Saturday after she
had disappeared from home for four
days, was carried to the grave to-
day.
Through the crowd circulated
private detectives, plain clothes men
from the local police department and
amateur detectives, seeking the re-
ward of 81 900 offered by the city for
the apprehension Of the persons who
had killed the child before she was
thrown into the lake.
So far no trace has been found OF
the guilty persons, although several
people are under surveillance. Should
arrests be made, IL is feared there may
be an attempt at lyncbing.
Slain by a Degenerate.
That the crime was the work of a
degenerate is the belief OF Sheriff
Brown. Though an examination OF
the body Of the child showed M

the bruises about the head, the sheriff
believes the kidnapping and murder
could have heen carried out only by
some one Of abnormal tendencies. tn,
fact that the body had been stripped
though the child wore a linen under
garment and a night gown when sh'
went to bed. is evidence. Brown be
lieves that his theory is correct.
"If q degenerate we're the criminal,
said the sheriff. "ho would be likell
to carry away the clothing as mo

such fends take the. bits Of clothing oi

been differently carried out had al

not have been torn from her"
Lemberger's story had in some de
tails been mixed. and the authorities
after the funeral today planned e

statements, the officers say, were ap
parently the result of his confusion

STRIKE NEARON
HARTMAN LINE
Union Officers Practically
Abandon Hope Of a
Settlement
WILL HOLD LAST FORMAL
CONFERENCE TODAY
By The United Press.

By The United Press.
LOS ANGELES, Sept 1l.-With
practically all hope Of averting a
strike on the Harrison railroads aban-
donod the international officers and
the advisory committeeman Of the iive
shop unions involved arrived here
from San Francisco today.
They will hold their last formal
conference during the day before
starting Eastward by various routes
tonight. On the way, the officers Will
consult with members of the various
locals preparatory to calling a general
shipments strike In the near future.
This strike is expected to be ordered
very soon after the union leaders
reach home.
The net result of the three days
conference at San Francisco was the
strengthening of the unionists' deter
mination not TO recede from the de-
mand for recognition Of the System
Federation by the Hartman railroads.
On the other hand, they do not ex-
pect Vice President Julius Krutt-
schnitt to recede from his position,
and believe that a walk-out of union
men is inevitable
"Kruttschnitt viii have to make
concessions" said President Kline Of
the Blacksmiths' Union, "or the pub
lie, for which he has expressed such
great solicitude will probably suffer
because he refuses TO do so. Our pres
ent plan Is not TO ask for another
conference. We may possibly find
some way Of approaching the subject
again but we know of none at pres
ent Recognition of the System Fed
Grafton is our right and we shall in

Kline will stop at Salt Lake City

have much money with him. In The
meantime the bride pleaded with Or
MacNichol 10 perform the ceremony
saying they had nc friends in Phila

compauied the bridal party to th'
wharf where they boarded the steamer

AS the preacher was to lead the twi
light services at $50 o'clock the vessg
put on extra headway and at SO

were seen, the wedding party assem-
bled in the cabin and DR.. MacNichu
performed the ceremony.
When the Brandywine steamed int
the slip at Chester it was five minute
ahead OF its schedule aud DR.. Mac
Nichol returned on the next boat {
Wilmington and arrived in time 70 lea
the services. Mr. and Mrs. Schmoye
continued TO Philadelphia where the
