"Kent's good driver and a fast one
and careful but he can never rid him

of hunter in every well-bred motor

country travel was. in fact,
rather a fad Of Kent's, and he had
trained his light car to do everything
but take a Ave barred gate. After de-

From the seclusion of the grave

afforded of Hedgerow House. Grim as

to the intruder an aspect of homely,

Standing room was at q premium
when the machine was installed in

10th street. 1t is a cluster of II pow

a flood of light over the sidewalk which
strikes pedestrians from their feet to
the waist line. Many women passed
through the line wholly unconscious of
its effect. Others seemed to revel in
it, and even made SO bold that they
dropped gloves and handkerchiefs.
One young woman who, when she
walked through the light. looked like
two stocks of asparagus in clear

Mass Meeting Decides on War of
determination.

New York, Aug. 12-Thirty-six hours
have elapsed with hardly any prog
ress toward the Identification of
young woman who was found murder
ed on Sunday night in a bit of swamp
land in upper Manhattan. The police
are also quite as helpless in their
search for clues to the murderers, but
they entertain a theory that the woman
may. have been killed as part of a gang
plot 1t is recalled that a large party
of East SiderS had a picnic in a grove
near the scene of the murder on Sun
day afternoon. 1t is also suggested
that the case of William Lustig, who
was severely shot in the East side cafe
by gangsters last week, and who had
been decoyed to the place by woman
has a bearing on the murder. Since
the shooting, the police have been very
anxious to learn the identity of the
girl decoy in the Lustig case and it is
said that the gangsters feared that if
she We're caught, she would reveal the
names of all concerned in the Lustig
plot.
The gang situation has assumed such
serious proportions on the East side
that a mass meeting under the auspice
of the East Side Neighborhood associa-
ton, voted last night to undertake
war of determination against the out
laws. Small shopkeeperS bore testf-
money to the numerous times they had
been victims of blackmail, of how they
had been forced to contribute funds
for gang activities under threat. 1t
was declared that the situation was
beyond the control of the police and
that the East siders themselves must
take a. bold stand.

Chicago, Aug. 12.-Patrolman James
NJ. McDermott was officially declared
the star hero of the force today when
the civil service commission awarded
him the Harrison and Tree medal for
1912. This is the highest honor that
can be given to a policeman by the
city.
McDermott arrested a negro murder
er who had crawled beneath a house
and threatened to shoot any one who
came after him. The policeman pried
off some boards at the bottom of tie
building and squeezed his way in the
darkness to where the negro lay. AS he
advanced the negro twice pulled the
trigger of his revolver but the cart
ridges failed to explode the mechanism
of the weapon having become clogged
with dirt. For almost a week, the
commission listened to tales of hero
ism of policemen and decided that Nc
DermOtts act was the bravest of the
year.
