Girls take LONG TRIP
ON A FREIGHT train

Two lS-yesrold girls who travelled to
Philadelphia from Washington, D. c.,
on freight train and lived for two
days in the woods in the extreme south
western section of Philadelphia, until
hunger drove them to seek shelter in a
farmhouse, were t. n home yesterday.
They are Elsie Jellverg and Eileen Col
lily. Elsie's father came for her and a
detective escorted Eileen home.
Last Wednesday the girls made an
unostentations entry into Philadelphia
dustry and hungry. They had made
their journey on the p, w. and B.,
right through Wilmington, and
thought It advisable to get of their
side-door Pullman before the train got
into Philadelphia. They walked and
walked until their feet ached and they
had feeling of great nothingness in
their stomachs. They lived a life close
to nature for a couple of days, but
when the novelty of going hungry for
sweet adventures sake had rubbed off
they went to a farm at Ford's Road,
near Miflin street, and got something
to eat.
At first they tried to explain their
plight with some of the story-book
tales, but the farmer shrewdly guessed
the truth and turned them over to his
wife while he went to the Thirty-sec-
ond district police. On Saturday the
wandering pair were taken to the De-
tective Bureau. quizzed and turned
over to the matron in Central station

RECORD NOT FOUND

That the record in possession of the
Police Department said to be that of
Patrick Cunningham, who shot and seri-
ously wounded Patrolman William j..
Davidson on July 4, is that of his deau
father was the assertion today of S. e.
Cunningham, who conducts a drygoods
store at Second and Franklin streets.
Mr.. Cunningham, who says he was born
in Delaware City, declared the informa-

representative this morning, Mr.. Cum
ningham. who says he is no relation to
the man now in Jail. declared that he
believed the police had made a mistake
and taken the record of his father for
that of Cunningham. "We lived in Della
ware City, where Cunningham is SAID
to have lived, for thirty years. he said,
"and during this time our family was
the only Cunningham there. About ff-
teen years ago we removed to Chester
and there was no other Cunningham
there, either do not believe Patrol
man Davidson's assailant ever lived, at
either place.
Mr.. Cunningham declared that many.
friends in Delaware City end Chester
had written him that they never heard
OF any Cunningham but his father in
either place, and pointed out the
identicalness of the record of David
sons assailant and his father. 4
believ that in obtaining the informa-
tion about Cunningham" he said, "the
police have gotten on the wrong
track and his fathers movements
have been given the department in
stead of.those of the man in Jail.
Asked if he was any relation of
the policeman's assailant, Mr.. Cum
ningham declared he never had heard

City or Chester. He suggested that
the man probably came from Phila-
delphia.

be advisable to realize their profits.
Some we're unfortunate enough to
let go of their holdings at that figure.
The same question arose when dupont
common scared practically in a day
or two to $500, and probably more
stock was sold at that figure than
on any other rise.
When the stock reached S400 a
share those who we're fortunate
enough to have retained their hold
ings began to realize the unlimited
possibilities. which surrounded this
security.
After the stock had reached $500 a
share. practically every one who held
it considered 1t an insult to be ap-
preached with a suggestion that the
shares be sold.
The conscientious brokers have
been placed in a very difficult posi-
tion regarding DUPONT common stock,
for the reason that those who we're
well-informed as to its possibilities
felt compelled to advise their clients
not to sell, even when those brokers
had large buying orders for the
stock which IL was becoming in
creasingly difficult to fill by reason
Of their advice to patrons not to
sell.
It is belived by those who have
given much attention and study TO
the DUPONT and other powder securi-
ties that DUPONT common stock has
an intrinsic value considerably greater
than its present market price Of about
500 a share. in round figures. II has
become customary recently to speak
Of DUPONT common in round figures,
a fuctuation Of several dollars a
share in this security being insight
ficant when the high market quota
tion is considered.
Not only have Conscientious brokers,
in the past, advised clients not to sell
DUPONT common, but IL is understood
they are giving that advice today.
And persons who have had dealings
with reputable brokers realize how
reluctant they are to advise patrons in
many instances.
Much activity developed in dupont
common stock this morning. the de-
mand for the shares increasing in the
Offices of Wilmington brokers. and
there was a general feeling of
optimism that another rise in the
price was about to take place.

WASHINGTON. July 12.-It was
the Washington Wow today that any
one who wanted information CON
cerning the German-American situa-
tion should inquire in Cornish, N. II.
The official text of the German note
having been transmitted 10 President
Wilson, II was the general view that
II had passed for the time beyond To-
cal jurisdiction. The official and
press versions OF the communications
differed hardly at all It was under
stood that they were sent from the
same translation. There were a few
minor variations evidently in trans
mission-nothing more
Some accounts we're that Secretary
Lansing would 90 to Cornish Gin a

week. Others we're that the execu-
tive would not be back until the sue
ceeding weeks end Indications we're
that this had not been decided even
by the President He and the Secre-
tary expected TO talk II over by long
distance telephone today.
German Ambassador Bernstorff
was understood TO be scheduled TO
call on the Secretary concerning the
Berlin message, nut no definite date
had been fixed
On all sides Il seemed agreed that

break, and that.the President would

gestion that Germany will be willing

While admitting the possibility than
occasional fine shades of meaning in the
note might have been lost in the trans

Minister Won Jagow's -secretarv,
officials said it needed no assurance to

SHREWD INVESTORS PICKING
UP ALL The DUPONT COMMON
STOCK THAT TIMID ONES LET GO
Conservative But Far-Seeing Purchasers Believe Price
Of From $1,000 to $500 Share Eventually Will
Be Realized For Security Of Great Wilmington
Corporation
They ASSERT ITS INTRINSIC VALUE IS
FAR BEYOND The $500 MARKET PRICE

That the spectacular rise in the price
of common stock of the E. I. dupont de
Nemours Powder Company has by no
means reached its limit, and that the
stock at the present time has an intrin-
sic value far beyond today's quotation,
is the belief of many shrewd investors
in Wilmington and other cities.
Not only are far seeing investors buy
ing I'D all the dupont common stock
that is offered, but it is known that
many Of them are doing so firm in the
belief that dupont common is destined
10 prove an investment second to none
in the annals of American finance, with
The possible exception of Winchester Re
peating Arms Company stock, which
TODAY is not obtainable for less than
81 500 OF $1,000 a share.
While some timid buyers of dupont
common stock have recently been sell
ing in order to "take their profits" It
has been the subject of general COM
ment that for every share offered for
sale there is a buyer These buyers, 1t
is understood. include many men who
are familiar with intricate financial
problems, and who profess to see IN
dupont common a stock that eventually
will mount mp to 81 200 or $500 a
share.
In other words, they believe that the
basic value of DUPONT common stock
today is far in excess Of $500 a share,
and that is only a question Of time
when a full Eealization of the invest
ment or speculative possibilities of
this security will shoot DUPONT
common up to a level of at least
81 900 a share. And this may happen
within a reasonably short time, 1t is
predicted by some Of the sanguine
but conservative investors.
Already DUPONT common stock has
been meteoric in the financial sky.
Many holders acquired their stock at
$50 a share shortly after the DUPONT
Company was incorporated, and they
retain their holdings to this day. At
$500 a share dupont common repre-
sents a profit OF 1900 per cent. to
them And so far as can be, learned.
those investors are not selling DUPONT
common. Their faith in it is greater
than ever.
After DUPONT common had risen SIS
a share from s125 to 5000 shortly after
the European war got under way, a
great many persons were confronted
with the question of whether it would
