LEAPS FROM WINDOW
Crazed Negro Fractures Leg at Harris
burg Hospital

Frank Hodge, big negro who has
been in the Harrisburg hospital since
Friday suffering from epilepsy, dashed
from his bed in the medical ward at
lao O'Clock this morning, brushed
aside two orderlies who tried to restrain
him and jumped from the second story
window to the lawn at the Mulberry
street side of the hospital building,
fracturing his left leg.
Hodge imagined that seventy per
sons were after him and in his frenzy
following his drop he fought hard
against being taken back into the hos
pital. He had to be restrained by a
straig ghtjacket. He narrowly missed
dropping into a lightwell at the side
of the hospital, which is as deep as the
basement.

SEEK TO change THEIR PLEA
VIM. Rockefeller, Standard Oil Million
aire, and Other New Haven Direc-
tors Make Application to Court

New York, Nov. 30.-Willam Rookie
feller, Standard Oil millionaire, be.
sought to-day permission of the Fed
eral Court to change his plea to the in
dictment charging him and twenty 9TH
er former directors of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford Railroad
Company with criminal violation of the
antitrust law. Mr.. Rockefeller filed a
plea in abatement last Monday. Mr..
Rockefeller was joined in his applica-
tion by Robert W. Taft, Charles A..
Brooker, William Skinner and James S.
Elton.
In their application to Judge Ses-
sions, the defendants did not indicate
the nature of the plea they had in
mind but simply asserted their desire
to file substitute plea.
Under the plea in abatement, they
sought to have the indictment dismissed
on the grounds that it was defective.
The alleged detection consisted of the
fact that one of the court officials con-
nected with drafting the Indictment
was a resident of New Jersey instead
of New York.
Applications for permission to change
their pleas were made also by ID. New
ton Barney, Frederick +. Brewster Hen
ry X. McHarg and George F. Baker.
vigorous argument against the
granting of such permission was made
by Assistant Attorney General Swacker.
Judge Sessions granted permission to
all nine men to change their pleas. Sub
stitute pleas were not offered at once,
however, and argument proceeded on
the original pleas in abatement.

SOUGHT MEAL FROM COPPER
Mike Quinn Made Serious Mistake ard
Lands in Jail

Mike Quinn made a fatal mistake
when he went to the rear door of 1907
Swatara street, yesterday morning to
beg a meal. Little did he realize that
the man who came to the door in an
swer to his knock was that of Police
man Hicks. Policemen are taught that
begging is thing to stop and ne short
ly informed the beggar that ne could
get no meal there.
Mike made the fatal mistake of
saying mcomplimentary things about
the residents in that neighborhood and
Policeman Hicks decided that he would
keep others from getting any abuse of
that kind and placed the man under ar
rest on mis- back porch. He called the
patrol and Mike was landed in Jail for
over Sunday. The arrest occurred at
9.25 so Quinn missed his breakfast, but
he was in plenty of time for dinner

10 'HARDSCRABBLE ESTIMATES
one-fifth Of the Owners Have Placed
Values on Their Property

Hardscrabble" property owners
have until December 10 in which to file
with City Solicitor d. s. Seitz their es-
Inmates of damages they will sustain by
reason of the City taking over their
ground and properties to facilitate the
reopening of North Front street be-
tween Herr and Calder.
Already ten of the fifty or more
property owners have sent in their as-
Inmates. These are now being consid-
cred. The Cty's legal adviser to.da.'
said it would not be advisable at this
time to say whether the values are
satisfactory to the City.
No action will be taken by the City
until after the expiration of the time
in which to file the damage claims, then
the City's course as to acceptance or
rejection of the estimates will be de-
cided by the City Commissioners.

Smiths Appearance Untidy

There was a noted lack of tidiness in
his dress. His long uncombed hair pro-

which apparently had been carelessly
placed on the side of his head and he
moved confidently and speedily to his
