ABANDONED CHILD
PUZZLE TO POLICE
No One Has Called to Claim
Tot Who Was Left in
Store.

The Ease of 215-year-old Ella Schultz,
who was abandoned on Monday after
noon in the basement of Hahne & Coz
store, is puzzling the police of the
Second precinct.
AS yet no one has called to claim
the little one. who vas deserted by :.
woman near the flower department In
the basement of the store. The girl
in charge of the flower department
told a reporter for the Evening STAR
today that a tall, well-dressed woman
asked her to take care of the little
one while she made inquiries about
an umbrella which she had lost.
The baby was cared for by Mrs
Sarah Plum. matron of the Second
Precinct station house, at her home
For the first time since h was
found she mentioned her father and
added that Papa was no good"
She speaks in the most ~endearine
terms of her mother, however.
Several remarks made to members
of the Plum family by the little one
concerning her home life had led them
to believe that the tot has been neg
lected by her parents. In the lean
time the police are bending every
effort to locate the mysterious wom-
an who abandoned the child.

Official Report on
Disaster Includes
:. Recommendations.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-Failure
-of Engineman Schroeder to observe
oand be governed by block signals
"was the cause officially assigned to-
-Nday for the collision on the Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western
railroad, at East Corning, N. Y, on
sesuly 4, which resulted in the death of
-fhirty-nine passengers and the injury
sof eighty-six passengers and two en-
Employees.
ID This conclusion was reached by
HiChief Inspector H. w. Belnap, in his
oreport to the Interstate Commerce
Commission. The inspector says a
-contributing cause of the accident
was the failure of Flagman Lane to
use torpedoes. The automatic block
signals operated properly and would
have prevented the collision IL they
had been obeyed, says the report.
st In conclusion Inspector Belnap
says:
"As a result of the investigation
of this accident the conclusion Is
confirmed that the use of steel cars
:. would materially reduce the number
OF fatalities in accidents of this char
acter. 1t is also believed that a
greater degree of safety would be
provided If tagging rules were more
explicit and the use of torpedoes re-
tQuired, and if automatic block sig
nails were properly o~verlapped and
the speed of fast trains were reduced

The Training Camp Season.

Now come the days of waxing interest
in the base ball situation. Players are
going to their training camps. Man.
ayers are announcing their confident ex-
pectation Of winning pennants. Recruits
from the minor leagues and the bush
leagues and the back lots are reporting
for duty full Of faith in their ability to
land berths and to smash records and to
become the future Ty Cobbs and Hans
wagners and Walter Johnsons Of the
great American game. A few Of the
players are negotiating for increases in
salary Meanwhile the public is waiting
with increasing Impotence for the first
sound Of the gong that will start another
season and provide excitement and en-
pie until the frost again nips the leaves.
The preliminaries Of q base ball season
are now much different from what they
were twenty years ago. Everything Is on
a more elaborate scale There are many
more players on the rolls, and the train
ing trips are conducted at great expense
and with q, certain formality that befits
the position Of the game before the pub
lie. In the old days players would re-
port for duty few days before the sea-
son opened. do a little practice on the
home grounds, perhaps play half dozen
exhibition games and then start the sea-
son, with the result usually that nearly
every member OF the team was sore and
