BABY'S MUTILATION
BLAMED ON SPIRITS

POTTSVILLE, Pa, July 1S.-Two
thousand foreigners at fMinersville are
greatly excited over the strange fate
which befell the 4-year-old child Of
Felix Ludnan. The child when left
alone for about 10 minutes was iu-
ficted with wounds which resemble
bites. but il they are bites. they are
apparently of some strange animal.
Neither dog cat nor rat could
have inflicted the injuries, and it is
not believed that any human being
was responsible The mother was
gone about 10 minutes and when she
returned she found the baby uncon-
scious in the crib. turned crosswise,
with red bandana handkerchief,
soaked in water covering its face. A
bucket containing water, standing on
a table nearby. was found in an in
verted position on the floor. The crib
was soaked with water.
When the mother lifted the hand
kerchief she found the child's face
black At the forehead the flesh was
apparently gnawed, while q larger
wound of the same kind was found
on the neck, and still a larger one on
the chest The little one body was
also badly bruised.
Persons who were called to see the
child gave the impression that the
injuries we're caused by swinging the
baby around by the feet and batter
ing it against the wall The mother
became terrorized by the accident and
blamed It on evil spirits.

MIDNIGHT
BAN ON POOL
Mayor Approves Ordinance
and Refers Directors to
Council for Relief
BELIEVES VETO OF
MEASURE UNWISE

Mayor Howell today signed the or
dinance passed by City Council last
Thursday night regulating pool
rooms. The time for closing such
places under the new law is ~
o'clocrk. midnight The original time
agreed upon was II o'clock,
but an amendment was pass
ed by Council extending the closing
hour TO - o'clock The ordinance
becomes effective at once.
There was considerable opposition
10 the change to the ~ o'clock hour,
particularly from church bodies,
Mayor Howell however after care
fully considering the measure, con-
cluded 10 sign II
The mayors reasons for signing
the ordinance are set forth in the ap-
pended statement
Il approve and return to City
Council the ordinance passed by
them regulating the closing Of pool
rooms IN this city, thereby making
the closing hour ~ D. m.
This decision has been reached
after very careful and deliberate
consideration of the ordinance from
every point of view The public in
general and more particularly the
churches, Y NJ. G. A, etc, seem
greatly interested in this ordinance
and have petitioned me TO return It
10 City Council without my approval.
1T is becaues of this that ! here
with give my reasons for not so doing
believing that those citizens who
have taken such a keen interest in
the mater are entitled 10 have full
knowledge of my action in regard TO
the ordinance in question. At the
present time the pool rooms are per-
mitted to remain open all the time
except Sundays.
THE ordinance passed by City
Council prohibits them from being
opened or operated between the hours
of midnight and o'clock, a. m
Furthermore, II directs the police
department to enforce this ordinance
or regulation to the strict letter OF
the law. Therefore, il is clearly up
to that department of the city gov
ernment to see that any violators OF
the said law are punished for such
violations and not allowed to operate
should the offenses continue.
"If the ordinance we're vetoed OF
returned to City Council without the
mayors approval, the pool rooms
could continue to remain open as
long as they desired, and 7 am in
formed that in some instances this
has been continuously except on sun
days
"The ordinance at least estab-
fishes a time. for closing, which, In
my opinion, is move in the righ
| direction.
"The signing of the ordinance doei
not prevent those who are interested
from petitioning City Council Il
change the hour TO II o'clock. D. m.
nor does it prevent City Council from
amending the ordinance voluntarily
or by acquiesence to public desire
Finally, for the reason that man,
months might elapse before th'
amendment could be made and a barr
possibility of no further action beinl
taken on the matter il the ordinanc,
were vetoed, and desiring that th'
regulation of the closing hour SHOULD
begin at once, / shall, as hereinbe
fore stated, sign the ordinance ani
return 1t to City Council, believing
that the best interests of all con
cerned are safeguarded until furthe
action can be taken

EVANS CASE
In THE BALANCE
State Not Decided on Course
to Follow, But PierSOn
Would Oppose Parole

The fate of John Evans. a dis
charged convict, who wants 20 lead an
honest life, and is now under arrest
In Philadelphia, charged with having
committed a burglary here eight years
ago, pending action on the part OF the
Delaware authorities, is still in the
balance.
Deputy Attorney General Josiah o.
Wolcott, who has been making an in
vestigation OF the case, assisted by
State Detective Mccoy, said to-day
that he had not yet received all the
facts he desires in connection with the
case, aud until he does he cannot de-
eide what course the attorney gem
erals office will follow
In view of the fact that Evans has
lust finished long term in jail and
made an excellent prisoner, so much
SO that he has earned the friendship
of Warden McKenty, Of the Eastern
Penitentiary, where he was inoarcer-
ated. Mr.. McKenty is doing everything
i'm his power TO obtain his release.
Il is known that Mr.. Wolcott SYM
pathlzes with Evans He has duty TO
] perform, however, and would not say
to-day just what would be done
Evans is charged with entering the
home Of George p. Pierson, OF No AOh
south Clayton street, on February ~
1904. The latter does not want the
case dropped, believing such action
would be 4 license TO others to hreah
into his home. He would consider
having the man released on parole
/ however.
Mr.. wolcott left the city this cfter-
noon. and IL is not likely that any.
thing will be done IN the matter unu

smallpox in the district. One report is to the effect that there are eight new cases. The reports are abso- lutely false. That is not the worst thing about the reports. however. They are calculated to hurt the in. terests Of the business men of the city: There is not and has been but one case af smallpox in the city, and the public has been kept fully in' formed as to this case.
 Tt is a violation of the law for any person to give utterance~to false reports Of this character. and prose cutions will certainly result if evil dence can be found. The law is aimed to punish persons who wilfully circulate idle but vicious reports of this character, and persons who are told such reports should inform the health authorities
