WOULD FORCE
RAILROAD TO
BUILD BRIDGE

Farmers of Brandywine hundred
who use the Concord pike are con-
templating securing names to petit
ton asking that the Levy Court pro
ceed against the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company to compel it to
erect an overhead bridge at Concord
crossing. Those who use the road
say that as the pike is now free the
grade crossing should be abolished.
Furthermore. the Wilmington and
Philadelphia Traction Company is 10
construct trolley line to Lombardy
cemetery within six months after the
bridge is constructed and two years
thereafter the line is to extend to the
State line. Engineers of the railroad
company several months ago prepar-
ed plans for the bridge and these
we're submitted to the Levy Court but
nothing definite was done in the mat
ter. One land owner of that section
this moring said he would sign the
petition as he desired TO build several
houses on the turnpike but would not
do so while the grade crossing is
there.

BELIEVE FERRIS
SCHOOLBOYSHAVE
GONE FROM STATE

Gone since Sunday night, and leav-
ing no trace behid them, the three
boys who escaped with four others
from the Ferris Industrial School,
are thought to have left the state.
This opinion is shared by superinten-
dent Stewart. who believes that Ar
thur Cranmer, aged 10 years, Of this
city, who spent some time in Texas,
has gone there with the other boys.
An investigation made yesterday re-
vealed the fact that the break for
liberty was pre-arranged. the mon
key wrench used having been taken
from the stable and concealed in the
house. This was used by Cranmer in
removing the bars from the windows
of their sleeping quarters.
Cranmer was sent to the institution
about two years ago but had spent
little of that time there, always es-
Gaping and otherwise causing tror-
Bile.
Those who escaped and were later
captured. will not lose all their merit
marks, superintendent Stewart allow.

plans for the original building. 1t is
expected that the work will be COM
pleted within three weeks.
The alterations to the outside will
consist of reconstructing the win
dows, so that they will be about 15
TO Is inches from the pavement, and
will bring the displays in line with
the eyes. The old manner displaying
called for an upward look, but with
the new show windows, the spectators
or prospective customers can see at q

displayed. Another feature of the out
side alteration will consist Of The
construction Of door leading to the
shoe department from Market street

HOLD UP MAN
ROBS TWO
Bold Negro Gets S36 From
Man After RifIine His
Pockets
THROWS AWAY PURSE
HE GRABBED FROM WOMAN

The police Of this city and State
Detective Mccoy have been working
since yesterday trying to locate a ne
gro whom they consider one of the
boldest highwaymen that has oper-
ated in this section for some time.
The robber, in Western style, yes
terday held up two persons near
Richardson Park, but succeeded in
getting money from only one of them
and successfully made off. One of
the victims Of the highwaymen was
Mrs. Ida Maxwell, who was walking
along a road near Richardson Park,
shortly before 10 o'clock yesterday
morning when the man approached.
He took her pocketbook and made of
with it. There was nothing Of value
in the purse. however and it. was
later alongside the road.
The negro met with more success
when he came upon Frank Toscanni,
baker Of 1926 West Fifth street. The
highwayman jumped at Toscanni
as the latter was walking along the
railroad, and ordering the man to
throw up his hands. at the same time
pointing a big revolver at his head,
demanded his money. Toscanni hand
ed over fifty cents in change, but the
thief evidently was satisfied that his
victim had more money than that, and
he then searched Toscanni, getting
$50.
The highwayman disappeared and
Toscanni hurried to Richardson Park,
where he telephoned to the police
here. Several policemen we're hur-
ried to the scene of the holdups and
succeeded in tracking the negro for
some distance and then lost all trace
of him.
II is thought the thief lives in Will
mington and the police we're still
working diligently on the case today.
He is described as six feet tall. aged
about % years and wore a light cap
and tan. shoes.

favorable to the new baby, consider
ing the sums that other Astor child

The father of Mrs. Astor, when asked
about the possibility of will con-
test, evasively replied that his daugh-
ter had not decided to contest. Ask
ed IF such action had been considered,
he said he could not say what the
future might bring forth.
Though, as matters stand today,
the youngest Astor will have but

CORONER FINDS GRADE CROSSING
 DANGEROUS ONE

The railroad crossing of the Berk-
 shire division, near North avenue, is a dangerous one. Deputy Coroner Henry c. Stevenson, in his findings
 on the death of Elisha W. Gedney of
 crossing, Wednesday, which finding
 was completed yesterday, declares
 such to be the case He finds that Gedney's death was not caused by criminal negligence of any person or
 persons, but the crossing is a treach- erous one and should be protected by
 gates at present and eventually abol- ished
 Gedney was proceeding southerly along Reservoir avenue and had reach ed the grade crossing one block north of the passenger train, which is due in this city at Il a. m. This train
 was few minutes late and it flew Gedney's team as the vehicle was driving across the tracks.
 Attorney Stevensons says about the grade crossing:
 |. '"The crossing is dangerous one,
 and should be protected at once for the safety of travellers on foot and in team The street runs north and
 south, and has a steep incline toward the north for block each side of the railroad tracks. The tracks run in a
 southWesterly direction with a sharp
 curve one block north at Carson street,
 and another sharp curve c half & block
 south of the highway crossing. The tracks at Carson street taking a
 northerly direction and the tracks south of the highway crossing taking
 southerly dirction. Standing on the highway crossing, trains, approaching from either the south or north, can
 not be seen around the curves in eith- CT direction.
 'As the tracks proceed north. they follow the foot of the hills, and be-
 low the woods. The prevailing winds there seem to be from the south and southwest, sweeping up the Pequon- mock river basin and the Berks hire
 Mill pond. They carry the sounds of the whistling locomotives, approach l ing from the north, away from the crossing toward the north. The cross | ing is further shielded from the sound of the whistles by the woods and hills, which lie between 1t and the tracks to the north. The crossing is wholly un- protected. The trains come from the
 north on down grade at rate of
 speed at an average from 30 to 40
 miles an hour."
