POLICE SIGNALS O. H.,
THEIR BOOTS? NAY
Woman Prefers Possible Thieves
on Roof to Mud in Her
Reception Room.

The new electric police signals were
worked successfully last night, much to
the chagrin Of Mrs. Richard GambrilL
While Mrs. Gambrll was away from
her home. at No. 80 Park avenue the per
sons across the way caused great com
motion among her servants by telephon-
ing TO them that there were two men on
the roof OF the Gambrill house.
The butler called up Police Iieadquar-
ters. and from there word was sent to
IIeu,enant Mullgan. at the Goth street
station. who manipulated the new green
light signals with such effect that about
ten patrolmen. not To mention Lieutenant
seifert and Detective Brennick. from the
station house, soon arrived at No. 30 Park
avenue.
Now. il was raining last night and IT
was muddy under foot. and as the police
nassed through the reception room and
up the marble staircase In their dripping
coats and muddy rubber boots they left a
trail in their wake.
They found no men on the roof. They
also found there were only two ways
70 leave the roof-the one by an impos-
sible drop 10 the adjoining house. the
other down the marble stairs and through
the reception room. So. again to Mrs
Gambrlrs chagrin, they doubled their

Little Girls Discovery OF
Weapon Has Fatal Result.

An ambulance and a policeman Wer"
called TO No. 50 Sherlock Place, East
New York, Yesterday afternoon i'm re-
Spouse TO the information given by
Frank Penna that his cix-year-old
daughter, Mary. had been shot while
standing at the window. The little
girl had a bullet wound over her heart.
She was taken to ST. Mary's Hospital,
where she died last evening
In the room in which the child had
been detectives found an automatic
pistol with an empty shell. Confront
ing Penna and his wife with the
weapon they asked an explanation.
Thereupon the Pcnnas changed their
story. and said the father had bought
the pistol three weeks ago and had
placed il under the mattress. They
were out Of the room for long time
Yesterday Afternoon, and think it GER
tain that the child, in seeking amuse-
ment came uT the pistol and accl-
dentally discharged it
This satisfied the police, but they
arrested Penna on a charge OF violat-
ing the Sullivan law.
