Perth Amboy evening news., 1913-01-24

Although there we're reports this
morning that several attempts had
been made by thieves last night to
enter homes in the southern part Of
the city, only one was verified. That
was at 83 Lewis street, the home Of
Captain John G. Hornsby, who has
been In New York since Wednesday.
Two men entered the front door and
had begun prying open or trying to
pick the lock of the vestibule door
when they were frightened away.
Large footprints of the would-be
burglars were found on the porch.
which was damp from the rain, and
In the yard through which they es-
capped. The attempt was made while
Mrs. Hornsby was alone in the house.
Mrs. Hornsby was seated in the
kitchen about $50. Suddenly she
heard a gentle rafting at the vesti-
bule door and thinking her husband
had returned, went to open it. In
passing from the kitchen to the din
ing room she let the door slam,
which was followed by scurrylng Of
feet on the porch and a low conver-
sation Of two men. zone man in his
hurry jumped over the railing of the
veranda, and the other hurried down
| the steps.
Before opening the door she tele-
| phoned the police, who were soon on
the scene, but not until after cul-
prits had made their escape. On in
| vestigation several footprints were
found on the damp porch and In the
soft earth near the veranda. They
were very large, as If made by num-
| ber eight shoes.
| The men trying to enter the house
evidently knew of Mr.. Hornsby's ab-
sence and probably thought that
| Mrs. Hornsby had also gone, as no
| light was burning in the house ex-
cept in the kitchen and the place
| looked deserted. Reports of several
attempts to burglarize homes In
| Kearny avenue about an hour after
wards could not be verified.
After the experience Austin Horns

May Start Vigilance Committee.
| Several residents of the southern
section of the city, some of whom are
prominent business men, are endeav
oring to start citizens vigilance
! committee. The object would he to
collect funds to engage outside detec-
tlves to break up the robbery cpl
demic now prevalent. One of the
promoters of the idea intervie we'd
merchants along Smith street ye9ter-
day and received some encouraging
statements. Several Of the merchants
told him they would contribute to
such a fund.
In the opinion Of several of the
business men, fund of $1,000, or
perhaps only $500, would be sutil-
cient to engage several expert detec-
tives to run down the robbers. They
believe the experts could do this In
twenty-four hours. Whether the
project will go through or not IS not
known at this time. The promoters
desire that their names be kept a
secret at this time.
Prominent Men Interviewed.
The multiplicity OF robberies aud
the numerous other attempts during
the last few days have thoroughly
| aroused the residents of this city

BOY FALLS 80
FEET LANDING
ON BRICK PILE
William Rankin Has Skull
Fractured While Playing
Tag in New Building.
IS IN SERIOUS CONDITION
AT THE CITY HOSPITAL

After falling two stories, striking
the left side of his head on pile Of
bricks, William Rankin, fourteen
years old, of 395 Mechanic street,
was taken to the city hospital yester
day afternoon, in an unconscious
condition, with a part of his frac-
tured skull pressing into his brain,
and with the gray tissues OF that
organ oozing from his skull.
After attending the boy at his
home, DR.. Charles w. Naulty saw
the seriousness OF the fracture, and
had him removed to the city hospi-
tai. where DR.. F. c. Henry perform
ed the delicate operation of remoy-
ing the piece Of skull pressing on tho
boys brain. About Q O'Clock this
morning the little victim regained
consciousness, and though still In a
critical condition at noon, has a
fighting chance for life. Brain tissue
which the boy lost from the hole in
his skull, put together would equal
the size of hens egg, it is declared.
Young Rankin was playing tag
with some others boys at 398 Me-
chanic street, where new two-story
building Is being erected. The place
and the second story were open, as
the steps have not yet been erected.
Rankin, In trying to escape from be-
ing tagged, climbed up ladder to
the second floor, closely followed by
his pursuer. Tie two boys chased
around on the second floor for some
time. Rankin ran toward the stair
way opening, and before he could

edge.
about thirty feet distance, headfore-
most, the boy fell, landing on a pile
of bricks In the cellar. Immediately
the little body collapsed as his COM
panions stood dared. watching the
horrible sight. His friends thought
he had been killed. but, as tenderly
as possible, they carried him home.
DR.. Naulty was soon on the scene,
and finding that he had to act quick
ly to save the child's life, telepboned
for the city ambulance and requested
DR.. Henry to perform the necessary
operation on the boys skull at the
hospital.
A telegram has been sent to the
boys mother, who is attending the
funeral Of her mother In Canada. 1t
will be impossible for her to reach
this city for several days.
The operation which removed bone
of the skull, measuring u by *
inches, was one of the most delicate
that has been performed on patient
at the hospital. Several other frag-
ments of the broken skull were
raised into place by the surgeon.
The fracture started a hemorrhage
from which the boy lost a copious
amount of blood.
William Rankin is son of Frank
Rankin, foreman at the Perth Am
boy Dry Dock.

London. Jan. 24.-The Balkan

today by the fact that all dispatches

that the situation was the gravest.
The killing of Nazim Pasha,

military officer and leader OF the
young Turks, confirmed this view.
The Balkan envoys in session all
night were still comforting today
regarding the alarming situation.
