A former chief of detectives su-
perintended these tests personally
and at their conclusion announced II
would be practically impossible for
Miss Bonnie Burr to evade capture in
Pittsburgh provided she would per-
nit the former chief and a picked
force of men of this city to give her
a thorough Sizing up"
In order to prove her efficiency,
Miss Burr presented herself in a
great throng of people, where for ff-
teen minutes she chatted with some
members of the picked force. Many
knowing looks were exchanged
among the officials, and when Miss
Burr announced her intention of
making just one test OF her alleged
ability to evade capture in any sort
of gathering there was a general air
OF satisfaction noticeable on the
countenances of the sleuths present.
Confronted by Large Crowd.
There was just one thing, how
ever, that the former chief and every
man of his force had failed to take
into consideration-the fact that
Miss Bonnie Burr offered $500 in
gold, not only to members of the DO
lice force, but to any man. woman or
child of greater Pittsburgh who
could identify her at the intersec-
ton OF Fifth and Smithheld streets
between II and o'clock.
After leaving The Leader office, the
woman of mystery returned to her
hotel' where she made some sort
of a change in her personal appear
ance, and then started to the scene
of her intended experiment with the
police and public of this city.
When the ex-chief. surrounded by
the best picked plain clothes men. ar
rived at Fifth and Smithfeld streets
he discovered a hard proposition in
trying TO pick up the woman of mvs-
terry, rs he found himself confronted
by a large crowd of men and women
all OF whom we're keen on the trail
.of Miss Bonnie Burr. hoping to can
ture the reward Of $500.
Easy To BE Elusive.
For two hours the ex-chief and his
men worked as they never worked
before, and when It was nearly
O'Clock, the time at which the search
was TO end, a crowd Of enthusiastic
amateur sleuths laid hold on A
prominent society matron of Pittsburg
and started to rush her to the Leader
office. The ex-chief threw up both
hands, as he remarked disgustedlv.
This sure is the limit"
Later. when the Leader" printed
the story OF the "Girl With the Pink
Mask and how Miss Bonnie Bur,

officers came in for a great deal 81

WOULD CHANGE
LAW ABOUT FIRE
ALARM BOXES

City Councilman Draper. chairman
Of the law committee, gave notice at
the meeting of Council last evening
that he will offer an amendment to
the city ordinance relative TO the fire
department at the meeting next week.
The purpose Of the amendment will
be to permit the City Court judge to
have some discretion in cases where
defendants are charged with damag-
ing fire alarm boxes.
Mr. Draper explained that Judge
Churchman had seen him relative to
the proposed amendment stating that
It was a shame to impose a fine upon
a person for doing his duty in break
ing a fire box in cases Of neccs-
sity.
Several days ago man was fined
$50 in the City Court for breaking
the door of FIRE alarm box in order
to send in an alarm for a fire which
he had discovered. he having been
unable to find the key to the box. The
judge, under the present law, while
believing the man might be justified
in breaking the box, had no discre-
tion in the matter and upon proof Of
the defendants guilt was forced to
impose the fine upon him. II is de-
sired that the ordinance be changed
to avoid doing such an injustice in
the future. The notice was referred
to the law committee.

COUNCIL TO

Mayor Howell Raises Question
Whether Council is Pre-
pared to Buy
COMMENDS THE NEW
ASSESSMENT SYSTEM

At the invitation Of President of
Council William p. White, Mayor Har-
rison W. Howell, who attended the
meeting of City Council last evening, ad-
dressed the body on several matters of
Importance to the citizens of Whining
ton.
The mayor declared that he is inter
ested in the river front question. end
remarked that he had conceived the Llca'
by reading the newspaper reports of Tie
meeting of Council as a committee OF
the whole on the precs Ing night, that
the members were cont smplating tine
purchase of the land on the river front
should the riparian owners be unwilling
to sell
Suppose the river front people decide
to sell, is Council prepared to buy2" he
asked. "Is it possible to answer that
question at this timer"
President White explained to the
mayor that Council is endeavoring to
carry out the wishes Of the people as
expressed in the referendum vote at the
time of the municipal election, which
was TO acquire the river front land
either by purchase or condemnation He
informed the mayor of what Council had
committee of the whole authorized the
navigation and finance committees TO
see the riparian owners and see if they
would give the city strip of land along
the river front, and if not, what price
they would ask for it,
The mayor declared that he had no
criticism to make in the matter but he
understood the Council committees were
to obtain an option of the prices OF
the land from the riparian owners. Il
think the referendum vote refers TO
my Office as well as Council" he re-
marked. "and I think il was the feel
ing of the referendum voters that IL
was meant to acquire that land and not
by purchase. He believed that if Com-
ell has not the money TO acquire il by
purchase that it should be acquired in
some other way.
Mr.. White declared they were trying

Considerable discussion relative To the
expense Of the upkeep of the fire chiefs

Gilman Slower objected to the bill stat

months the bills are made out for.
Chief Ainscow. who was present. was
requested to explain the matter at the
suggestion of Councilman Haney and
stated that Council had never paid any

bills himself. He explained that the

Mr. Stover explained that the finance

machine, and stated that they had cot

MISS BONNIE BURR, "GIRL
WITH PINK MASK" FLITS TO
PITTSBURGH, ELUDES COPS

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
PITTSBURGH, Oct. 31.-It has just
been learned that the identity Of the
mysterious "Girl With The Pink
Mask" has been established definite
ly. To say her actions since coming
to this country have created a sensa-
ton is putting it mildly. The will-o-
the-wisp mystery maid has enjoyed a
merry, if cruel, joke at the expense
of Americas most exclusive set, as
well as that of the metropolitan po-
lice.
Miss Bonnie Burr" as she calls
herself, is the sensation of the hour.
BY dint of sheer genius she picked her
dainty way past the stern picket line
that guards the approach of ''outsid-
ers'" to the social clan of the 900"
to a series of victorious triumps i'm
the all-powerful innermost circle OF
that privileged few While the smart
set were still gossiping in mock hor-
ror over her mysterious disappear
ance, the girl invaded police head
quarters with a criticism of police
methods that has made her famous.
All Result of Wager.
Who is she? Well, beyond her af-
firmation that she is Bonnie Burr, her
identity is still shrouded in the deep
est mystery. II is said she has been
identified by an English "sleuth. Wis
iting this country; not as the cold, in
tellectual paragon, Madame La no
ted secret service woman) but as the
merry, mischievOus young daughter of
a famous Scotland Yard official. Her
interview. given a press correspondent
in this city, bears out this last theory
at was all the result of a wager.
Then I fell to wondering If I could do
il. How I successfully won my part
of the wager is not for publication.
'My brief social conquest has not
afforded me half the amusement that
my experience with the police has
done You see, I possess the gift Of
adaptability.. I can utterly submerge
my own personality so as to hobnob
with any class of people, in which
find myself. The clues to my iden-
tity with which the police arm them
selves are completely frustrated at a
second meeting" Then Miss Burr
gracefully excuesd herself The
interview was at end.
Viewed For an OHur.
II was the invitation Of the po-
lice and public of this city that the
dainty, mysterious Miss Bonnie Burr
arrived in Pittsburgh from New
York. She went at once to the office
Of The Leader, a local evening news
paper. where for the greater part OF
an hour the woman Of mystery per-
mitted herself to be subjected to
about every recognizable test used in
local police methods.

REVELERS TO
HOLD SWAY ON
The STREETS
MummerS to Make Merry,
Although No Parade Is
Planned
POLICE TO SUPPRESS
ANY UNSEEMLY ACTIONS

While Wilmington will turn over to
revelers tonight and the mask and
fancy costumes will come into their
own, there will be no organized celebra-
tion of Halloween like the city has cx-
perienced in some former years. The
streets will probably be crowded with
hundreds of revelers. Many of the
stores have decorated their windows for
the occasion, and although there viii be
no big parade with bands, the spirit Of
the occasion will not be lacking, and a
big time Is expected that will continue
until the wee small hours of the morn
ing. Many parties and fancy dress
halls have been planned and the scenes
on the streets are expected to rival those
of former years.
No hummer will be restrained from
the enjoyment of innocent fun and as
long as revelry is kept within proper
and reasonable bounds the police will
not interfere, but real disorder or insult
INC remarks will not be tolerated and ii
started arrests will quickly follow.
Last night was tick tack night and
a merry one at that. The windows of
almost every house in the city were
made 10 rattle at least once during the

The old gate that happened to be

One Charm Out OF Date.

Wholesale ARRESTS.

Confidential advices from Mexico
City indicate unusual activity on the
part of the Huerta officials there. On
the eve of the assembling of the new
Congress, wholesale political arrests
are being made. The excuse given is
the discovery of a new plot against
the dictator's life. But the reports
here are that the men arrested are the
leaders of the Huerta opposition in
the Metropolitan district.
This government was today await
ing word from the Mexican capital
regarding what action Congress will
take on the election returns. Here
tOfore ten to twenty days have been
allowed to elapse before the canvass
has been ordered. But there is a
strong suspicion here that there will
be little delay this time An an
nOuncement OF results is looked for
not later than next Monday.
Gamboa, Calero and La Fuente,
leading presidential candidates, have
all conceded their defeat. according
to advices from Charge O'Shaugh-
messy. Diaz is a fugitive. This leaves
Huerta as the leading candidate and
he has probably an actual majority
OF the few votes cast on the face Of
the returns to be submitted to con-
gress.
When congress assemblies for or
ganization tomorrow, both President
Wilson and Secretary of State Bryan
viii be here in Washington. They
have instructed Envoy Lind and
Charge O'Shaughnessy to report inn
mediately all developments. They
are prepared to act as soon as the
result of the election is made public.
Uptil then no expression of opinion
VIII be forthcoming.
