GHOSTS DRIVE OLD MAN

TELLS WEIRD STORY
George Baltz Battled With
Spirit Man and Woman, Who
Carried Pickering Light and
Big Knife, He Says
PAID HIM THREE VISITS

The light OF lantern filckered, In n
window on level with his, in the house
next door. The two houses are scarcely
more than three feet apart, and George
Baltz, who tried to commit suicide this
morning by cutting his throat and wrists
with a broken saucer says he then
heard a man and a woman Whispering
as they peered stealthily across into his
room, where he lay in bed.
Baltz, who lives at 2717 North 11th street,
and is 81 years old, says he saw the man
pass the lantern to the woman. and then,
while he lay too terrified to move, the
man climbed across to his room. He then
helped the woman across the narrow
space, and both moved silently toward
the bed. The old man sprang out and
struck at the pair with a chair. he says.
The chair seemed to go right through
them. There was no sound except the
noise Baltz made himself. The woman
threw her arms around his neck, but
Baltz could feel nothing. He tried to tear
her loose. Baltz said. but his fingers
closed on empty air. A knife, cleaning
in the hands of the strange man, drove
Baltz into a paroxysm OF fear. He struck
out wildly. but still his hands struck
nothing but air.
''Ghosta!" he says he cried out loud and
then ran into the hall and wildly slam
med the door.
other boarders came and the terrified
man told them his story. Investigation
of the room showed no sign of intruders
except the upset furniture.
Baltz went back to bed. For long
time he was In fright. He went TO sleep
finally, but was awakened when the bed
clothes were slowly pulled away. he said.
The woman stood at the foot of the bed
holding up the lantern, says Baltz
Frantic he ran from the room again.
once more he had to be convinced by
other boarders that the strange appa-
ritions had gone.
Baltz lay this time too terrified TO go
to sleep. For the third time the lantern
appeared in the window next door, and
the silent figure of the man started to the
old mans room, with the knife between
his teeth.
Balz could stand it no longer. In a
frenzy. he seized broken saucer and
rather than face the silent person"
who. he was convinced was trying TO end
his life, he slashed his throat and wrists.
He was found later by the boarders,
who heard the fall of his body They
sent him to the Samaritan Hospital,
where physicians found that his life was
not In danger,

Justice of the Peace Frederick
Philips Kirby Receives News
Over Phone From
Lawyer
WAS DREXEL'S COACHMAN

Justice Of the Peace Frederick Philips
Kirby. of Gloucester, n. j.. may lay
aside his toga to become Lord of the
Manor. His dream of lifetime-that he
belonged to wealth and power-has come
true. Today he received word that he
had fallen heir to s3OOO,0Oo.
The news came to him by telephone,
and the informant, n London solicitor,
said that he was at the Bellevue-Strat-
ford. Necessary steps to prove identity
and turn over the immense estate will
begin in few days
A change came over Gloucester when
1t heard the news. Those who used to
pass the Judge with an eyebrow nod, to-
day bowed most deferentially. He was
given right of way on the sidewalks and
his right hand Is tired from congratul-
atory shaklngs.
The Judge" is characteristic type of
the old school. He Is tall, rangy and
pleasant. His early days were spent in
the midst of royalty and grandeur and
1T has been his hobby to hearken back to
them in his little court when things
were dull. When they heard of the for
tune which had come to the Justice to-
day. the old residents declared that they
were not surprised Any one who knew
Judge" Kirby always felt, somehow or
other that he would get n big ''windfal'
some time.
But the news has not changed the
Judges" demeanor in the least True,
he feels bit proud over the news, which
is only fitting, but his good fellowship
Is just as emphatic as before.

The Justice has had an eventful career.

of the Marquis of Lorne. He came here
with the Marquis in 1874. Klrby's genial
manner soon attracted attention of prom
nent Americans, and when he left the
employ of the Duke he became coachman
for the late A. j. Drexel. He spent many
years in his employ.
Later Mr. Kirby went in the dog-fancy-
ing business and made quite a success of
It, Finally he drifted to Woodbury., and
eventually to Gloucester. He was there
but short time when the residents re-
allied that he would be. just the man
for Justice OF the Peace. His selection
was unanimous, and he has held forth in
that office for many years
According to the solicitor, the estate
which the Judge" has inherited is that
of Marie Fry, an aunt, of Bellsachs
County Kildare, Ireland There is plenty
of evidence at hand to prove that Kirby
Is the right man. Among other things,
he has Bible in which is inscribed:

friend Marie Fry"
The Judge" explained that. his aunt
used to address him as friend" before
she was married to one OF his relatives
The Judge had not seen his aunt for

from the solicitor tomorrow. But as vet

The striking garment workers returned
to work today TO enjoy at once the fruits
Of the victory won in the three days
strike that started Monday morning
They won virtually every demand, the
only concession being n failure to get
more complete recognition of the union
The workers look for this in the future.
They declared today that the reason
they won so quickly was that they had
become well organized in the last three
years. Three years ago the garment
workers strike last "a weeks and after
all the sufferings of the thousands of
women and girls who engaged in that
strike they were compelled to return to
their work with their demands refused
and ridlculed by the manufacturers.
Yet the demands that were rldiculed
then are granted today. The workers
said they appreciated the sympathetic
study of the problem by the Mayors
board of arbitration, but they made no
secret of their belief that the strength
of their union organization won the vic
tory. About 5000 workers went out and
stayed out.
Leo Becker. representing the manu-
facturers, and Benjamin Schlesinger,
president of the international Ladies'
Garment Workers Union, are in con-
ference this afternoon to select neutral
members of the various boards. to which
disputes between the garment workers
and the manufacturers will be submitted
In the future. Members will be chosen
for the wage board. the grievance board
and the board of sanitary control.
Girl strikers decided to go to work to-
day. after meetings were held in the
Parkway Building, Broad and Cherry
streets; the New Equity Building. at
1924 Lombard street, and Garrick Hall, on
Sth street above South.
Mr. Schlesinger issued the following
statement:
I'm considering the settlement of the
disagreement the union is very we'll
satisfied with the way the matter has |
been closed. We are entering upon |
new era In the industry-one of peace !
and prosperity which will bring better |
wages to the workers and more profits |
to the employers. We will do all in our /
power to live UP to the agreement. and |
will take care that the relations OF the |
workers with the employers are of the !
