POLICE SEEK GIRL
Held AT STATION
Missing Eva Fitzgerald OF
Brooklyn, Prisoner OF
Children's Society.
KEPT SINCE SUNDAY
DESPITE ALARM
Gave Her Home as in New Jer-
sey and That Batiled
Further Inquiry.

Although every member OF the Po-
lice Department mas had her descrip-
ton, Eva Fitzgerald, the hfteen-ycar-
cid girl who disappeared on Friday
from her home, AL Sixty-frst Street
Brooklyn, has been prisoner in the
Children's Society since Sunday, un-
known to her relatives.
Albert e. Wetzel, the husband Of
Eva's sister, with whom the girl lived,
went TO the Fourth Avenue Brooklyn
station and said Mrs. Charles G. Ste
venson. of Dyker Heights, had seen
Eva on Friday with strange woman
and that when Mrs. Stevenson spoke
to the girl she attempted to make Mrs.
Stevenson believe that they had never
met before. despite the TACT that the
Stevenson and WetEcl families were
formc- ncighbors.
The woman with The girl told Mrs.
Stevenson that she had found her ook-
ing for "A furnished room house and was
going to take her home.
The Brooklyn police sent out the
alarm and all the morning and evening
newspapers of Tuesday carried long
stories. Yet, when Patrolman Cahiil,
of the Bronx Park station, saw dis

dragging herself along near the ter
minal Of the Third Avenue a." al a
few minutes after ] o'clock on Sunday
morning he apparently did not identfy
| her as the missing girl. despite the fact
! that she told him, according 20 his rec
ord, that she was Eva Fitzgerald.
The girl was taken to the Bronx Park
/ station and there repeated her name.
/ She had every appearance OF having
walked considerable distance, and
she carried in her arm a newspaper
| bundle in which she had three calico
/ dresses.
She told the lieutcnant.that she was
| fifteen years old. and lived somewhere
/ in New Jersey. She did not give any
address and there was none entered on

the station house the girl was taken
/ to the Children's Society. There she
was booked under the name Of Eva
Fitzgerald" address unknown. She was
due to go to The Bronx Children s
Court yesterday.
The absence of an address for a
/ young girl apparently did not seem
/ sufficient reason for the lieutenant to
/ notify the Detective Bureau. for Lieu
tenant Thompson, on desk duty there
/ last night, said he had no record Of the
arrest
He admitted, however, that he had
received a general alarm for a Fitz-
gerald girl. The lieutenant on the desk
at the Bronx Park station when asked
! if the two were the same said that he
did not think so, because the girl said
she lived somewhere in New Jersey and
the missing girl lived in Brooklyn.
The police learned last night Of the
identity OF the girl. and notified Mrs.
/ Wetzel to be in the Children's Court
in The Bronx tomorrow. The girl was
not arraigned yesterday, because Pa
trolman Cahill did not appear.

with another machine, capsized and in
jured two policemen.
Mrs Hanson was tending bar and
the front room of the saloon was de-
serted. Several men were playing
cards in the rear room when the hold
up man entered. He covered the woman
with a revolver and commanded her 20
open the cash drawer Mrs. Hanson
screamed and the card players rushed
to her assistance.
Before they could reach her the man
had shot her twice, one bullet lodging
in her shoulder and the other in her
hip. He then turned his revolver upon
the others, hit Vachaninasni in the
thigh and shoulder, slipped out through
the door and made his escape
Both the man and woman were so
badly injured that the automobile am

which had been summoned by the po-

Commissioner Katharine 3. Davis is
in favor of women police for New York

other woman. They prefer to be ruled

"Of course, we do not mean anything

the province of men patrolling

be to prevent girls reaching the point

JACKS PURCHASE
FULFILS THREATS
Dunston Buys Burns Res
taurant Site to Enlarge
His Own Place.

Jack' Dunston, famous to thou
sands of New Workers who take in the
mornings milk when they come home
at night a. the proprietor of Jacks
Restaurant, announced yesterday that
he had purchased the property on Sixth
Avenue, between Forty-fourth and
Forty-fifth streets, where Burns's res
taurant fourshcd for many years. The
price paid by Mr.. DunstOn is believed
to he in the neighborhood Of 100000.
For twenty-five years Jack has
been the proprietor of New York's most
famous all-night restaurant. Before
that he was a waiter in the eating place
cf which he yesterday became owner.
Still earlier he was an Irish immigrant.
1t was during his term of service
as an emplove Of Samuel Burns that
the idea which he put into execution
yesterday was born. In fact, it was
during the last minute of his career
as an underling that he determined 20
buy out his boss.
DUnston broke into the restaurant
business rs a waiter at Burns's. Later
he was excessively head waiter and
manager. Then he and his employer
quarrCllcd. In a fit of anger Dunston
resigned. A. he left the cafe he told
the proprietor: "Some day I'll buy this
building
Tha; was q quarter century ago.
Yesterday Jack" made good his threat.
After leaving Burns Dunston opened
small establishment of his own at
76l Sixth Avenue. A. first it was called
the Aauhattan Oyster House. Later it
became known by his own first name.
Up q March 7, 1914, the doors of the
restaurant had never been closed Upon
that fatal morning Mayor Mitchell, who
had been striving to fit a lid upon the
city, revoked Jacks" all-night license.
After much parley, this was restored
on July %.
II is understood that Dunston will
turn the old building OF his former en-
plovcr into an annex of his own res
tagra0t.

decided, II was stated to-day, to appeal
to the Prison Commission of Georgia
for commutation of his sentence 10
life imprisonment, instead of making

This course, II is understood. will be

that in the face Of the adverse action
Of the various courts of appeal they
could hardly hope at this time for
pardon. They will, it is said. contend
that only in the original trial was the

ever in issue; that all subsequent ac-

law, and that Judge L. S Roam. who
presided over Franks trial, was IN

all inquiries he replied that the eth
