John Rudy, who came from where
he started" and was going where
he went. was in City Court this
morning charged with vagrancy He
told so many conflicting tales that
after hearing the evidence Judge
Churchman continued his case until
tomorrow morning There is pos
slbility that Rudy may be one of
"rayior's men, at any rate he is one
of the most suspicious persons that

from tie Eastern Penitentiary several
days ago after serving n sentence of
twenty eight yrars for the murder of
bis father. lie added that he had never
seen a street car or an automobile. The
officer looked him over. Rudy had some
beard aud hair for n man who has Just
been released from the pcnitentiary. The
beard Is more than seven inches long
and the hair wonld make many barber
shirk Later Rudy said his name was
Alexander and that he was from Balti-
more. Then he gave several other cities
las his home.
In court this morning he said he
lived in Baltimore. When told that
he was charged with vagrancy, he
asked the technical meaning of the
term vagrancy The court clerk
told, him it meant a man who was
without a home. To this Rudy re-
piled: "Not guilty. / am a trained
nurse by profession"

drinking heavily last night and had
wandered into the residential sec

WOULD MAKE
SKATING PARK
FOR CHILDREN

Mayor Harrison w. Howell has been
giving much thought to the conver-
sion of the plot bounded by Tenth.
Eleventh. Market and King streets.
to uses of great public benefit after
the present court house is torn down.
Under the laws passed by the last
Legislature the present court house
is to be razed after the new city and
county building is erected on the
block between King and French
and Tenth and Eleventh streets.
Mayor Howell has in mind the
transformation of part Of the block
into a skating rink for the children OF
the city OF course. the mayor him
self has no authority TO do anything
with the project, and can only advance
his ideas as suggestions The mayor
thinks part of the block could be con-
yerted into an ideal skating park for
the children.
His plan would be to fill in the
courthouse cellar with earth and raise
il to the level of the walks now sur
rounding it. and to enclose it with a
heavy coping. The surface of the
raised portion could be covered with
cement, furnishing a fine surface for
roller skating in summer. In win
ter the Mayors idea is that the
enclosed part could be flooded and be-
come an ice skating park. The rink
could be surrounded With ornamen-
tai lights, the Mayor says, and al
together could be made an attractive
place
From the walks about It entrances
could be had to public comfort
houses installed Just below the level
of the walks. Mayor Howell is
now figuring as to the approximate
cost of making such a recreation
square.
