Old Child Missing Two Weeks

police in addition to running down
several clues he had picked up but to
no avail
The girl is small of stature and
has very youthful actions. She has
light hair and blue eyes. When she
left Mrs. Hobbs home she wore a
blue dress. light straw hat, and
black shoes
When Mrs. Hobbs was seen by a
reporter of THE EVENING JOUR-
NAL she said Mr.. Husbands did not
care for any publicity in the matter,
though he was anxious to hear from
his daughter. While here the girls
aunt said, the child had complained OF
her home life and of a desire to get
work here.
An inquiry at all the local hospit-
ais failed to throw any light on the
childs disappearance, and while she
had friends living in this city. she had
not been at any of their homes.
The childs mother is dead, and
with the exception of her father her
nearest relatives are Mrs. Pierce, her
grandmother who resides with the
girls aunt, Mrs. Hobbs.

AGAIN SCORE
Testimony on Alleged Phone
Calls With WOOIen Co.
President Ruled Out
PROSECUTION MUCH
CHAGRINED BY TURN
In Ma IInlted Press.

BOSTON, Mass, May 27.-Having
ruled out as inadmissible evidence the
bills of the telephone company show
ing payments of tolls during January,
1912, with which District Attorney
pelletier had hoped TO clinch his case
against President william NJ. Wood
of the American Woolen Company
and his associates on trial charged
With conspiracy to plant dynamite,
Judge Crosby was expected TO rule
on whether original records we're ma
terial when court resumed today. The
distict attorney has offered the re-
cords kept by the telephone switch
board operator employed by the
wooden company. These, he says,
show frequent communication be-
tween Wood and Atteaux about the
time that the dynamite was planted.
These records are absolutely neces-
sary if the district attorney is TO
prove his case, according TO his own
statements and refusal TO admit them
will be a very material advantage to
the defense.
Judge Crosby upheld the objection
OF the defense to the presentation Of
the telephone records kept by Miss
ildIllnEiDll anu Alt1 WtlN luAtu OuAs
First, however, he permitted the pro-
secutor to show that on the records
were notations showing that certain
calls we're made to Atteaux from the
offices and by Atteaux over the Office
phones. One of the calls, the pro-
secution alleged, was from Atteaux to
Lawrence number which It con-
tended was to Breen. The prosecutor
was plainly very much chagrined at
the adverse ruling and began a new
line of examination OF the phone
operator in the hope OF making his
evidence material. He asked the wit
ness whether she could not remember
lAtteaux calling her on the phone on
January 10, and asking for President
Wood. but che insisted she had no
recollection Of any such call.
Then Pelletier asked the witness 70
use the phone records to refresh her
memory" and she was permitted to do
so over the protest of the defense.
She said II did not. The case was
continued until the noon hour.

COSTS HIM $40
FOR AUTO BUMP
THAT HURTS man

William F.. Blackiston. who while
demonstrating the automobile Of Fire
Chief Ainscow yesterday knocked
down Isaac c. Pyle, aged rs years, Of
No. 214 West Seventh street at Second
and Market streets was fined SO and
costs in City Court today on a charge
of violating the traffic ordinance.
Blackston pleaded not guilty and Mr.
Pyle. with his head bandaged was the
first witness. He said that while
crossing Market street from the West
side to the East side yesterday he
was knocked down by the machine
driven by the defendant Mr.. Pyle
said the machine was on the west
side of the street. which is a viola
ton of the traffic laws, as was pro
ceeding northward at the time OF the
accident.
Frank Carmichael and Leon w.
Sypherd who saw the accident said
the machine was going slowly and
that Blackiston had turned towards
the wrong side Of the street to avoid
hitting Mr.. Pyle.
Blackiston in his own behalf said
he was prevented from making a
proper turn at the corner because OF a
team and a standing trolley car.
Judge Churchman cited the traffic re-
gulations and declared that Blacks-
ton should have stopped until he
could turn right.

In the foundation wall OF the building
nor had there been any excavatins
around or under the wall Whether
any was done after he left he said ha
did not know. Mr.. Schunder how
ever, said there had not.
The building is about fifty years old
mad according to Architect E. L. Rice
in those days buildings were erected
with single party wall, one building
acting as support for the other.
Now there must be double party wallis.
Just what caused the building to
collapse has not yot been determined.
Mr.. Cassidy. said II might have been
due TO the heavy rains softening the
ground under the foundation wall, and
allowing the masonry to slide out,
AS to the responsibility. MIR. Cas-
sidy said he was not prepared to say
who Will have 10 bear the cost IL
appears that while Mr.. Schunder is
the general contractor. the work OF
eXoavating for the Dure building was
let out by contract to Elwood Talley,
who is considered one OF the best
contractors In his line of work In the
city.
In connection with tho collapse. an
opinion handed down by Chief Justice

Brown, In 1885, which appears on
page 1876 In the City Charter. Laws
and Ordinances. viii be of interest.
AS TO the question OF lateral sup
port In the case below. the court lafc
down the law as follows: "If one
dig on HIS ground and the earth oI
the adjoining owner fall or cave In
because OF its own weight. the person
digging must give 1t lateral support
or he will be liable in damages: II tho
earth cave in because Of an artificial
weight (such as house) on Il, the
person digging is not liable"
The police kept the crowds from go
ing too near the ruins, and a rope -as
stretched around the site to keep
away the more curious ones. Dr. Pol
lard has opened offices in the Smith
building without interruption TO his
business
The crash of the collapsing building
could be heard for considerable dis
tance and persons living IN the locality

ticket selected at tho primaries dur
ing the day as the ticket of tht Re-
publican party.
Filed as Result of Meeting.
Section 3 of Chapter 81, Volume 10,
Laws of Delaware, being the primary
election law, sets forthI
"A political party within the mean
ing Of this act shall be an organiza-
ton OF bonafide citizens and voters or
any county I'm this State which shall
by means of a convention, primary
election or otherwise nominate candi-
dates for public offices to be filled by
election within the State
The city charter. page 341, section
1, says: "A primary election within
the meaning Of this act is an assem-
blage of voters who are members of
any political party. organization or
association duly convened for the pur-
posed Of nominating a candidate or
candidates for public offices" etc.
The National Progressive party, II
is contended. while it participated IN
the Republican primaries on May Il,
really decided at a meeting of its city
, committee and a subcommittee of its
city committee to file the ticket that
was filed. The Socialist party held
meeting or convention and selected
its ticket Its convention that select
ed the ticket was held on Sunday,
which is not a legal day within the
eyes of the law, but no attempt has
been made to question the regularity
Of its action, it is pointed out.
So far as the Republican leaders
are concerned, they are not disturbed
over the threats of an attack upon the
! legality of the ballot by the Bull
Moose Progressives. They know that
| the Republican primaries we're seld
on a day allotted by the Department
OF Elections, and that the Depart
ment's records show that the Republi-
can party only held primaries on that
date. While the National Progressivos
voted at the Republican primaries

Inasmuch as any attack against th'
ballot must be made by the Bull

Elections. It would seem from the
foregoing that the Department o
Elections has accepted and given I
place on the ballot to the Republican
ticket selected at the Republican pri
