PHELAN TO PROBE. FATAL COLLAPSE
 OF LUMBER PILE
Children Crushed While Playing Beneath Material
 For New Building.

Coroner John J. Phe1an announced today that he will conduct an inquest into the fatal accident of yesterday when Dorothy Morgan, aged 6, of APO Carroll avenue, was instantly killed and two other children injured in the collapse of a lumber pile beneath which the tots were playing.
 Herbert Brotz, aged nine, is in critical condition at Bridgeport hos pital, with a fracture of the skull Ferdinand Jacobi, also nine years old, the third victim, has decorations of the right hand and arm, but is not se- riously injured. He is at his home, 1,37S Stra tford avenue.
 Medical Examiner Samuel M. Gar lick completed his autopsy today, and at o'clock tomorrow morning Cor oner Phelan will begin his inquiry.
 The three children were playing in a bed of sand beneath the pile of lum- Der in the roadway on Carroll avenue a short distance from the corner of Stratford avenue. While they were digging a way the sand other children were playing upon the top of the pile and suddenly the blanks toppled over upon the three youngsters.
 Mrs Isaac Rome, whose husband conducts a grocery store at 442' Carroll avenue and who is raving the build ing erected saw the accident and rushed to the aid of the children. The blanks were too heavy for her to lift and she called for help. Louis Brotz, father of the boy, hurried to the scene and with the aid of his wife and Mrs. Rome lifted the p1anking from the bodies of the children.
 To the horror of all, it was seen that the Morgan child's head was crushed, exposing the brain. A passing auto mobile was pressed into service and the child immediately removed to the Bridgeport hospital but death had oc- cured almost Immediately. The Brotz boy was ts1-en to the office of pr. N. T. Pratt on Stratford avenue, who summoned the ambulance. The child was taken to the hospital and an oper- ation performed. Today it was stated that the chances of recovery were against him.
 The injuries of the Jacobi boy were not serious and did not require the at tentfon of a physician.
 The lumber had been piled in the street by workmen for the contract ing firm of SafereHa and Trintina which recently moved to this city from Harrison, N. Y. Persons at the scene 1.-the accident stated last even ing that the planking had not been piled properly but Mrs. Rome stated this morning that such was not the case Q the lumber had been piled so that it would not fall but, the action of the children in digging beneath it and the others playing upon the top, caused it to topp1e.
 It was declared that civil action might follow Atl1e7 accident but Mrs Rome stated that she had heard of no such course being contemplated.

A Natural Born spender,

When long forgotten cousin died and left Miss MitfeId round hun dred thousand the entire village, after having recovered from the shock, fell to wondering whether the faded little spinster, after having for sixty-three years pinched and scraped and plain sewed just to keep soul and body to- gether, would, after all, get much com- fort from her eleventh hour opulence. The state of little Miss Mitfeld's mind was revealed when her next door neighbor inquired what she should do with her money - did she mean to save 1t?
 Save itF' Her eyes flashed with new found scorn. Listen to me, Betsy; all my life long I've wanted a pair of side combs with yellow glass beads onto 'en, and now Pm goin' to hey lem; yes, ma'am, even if I should hev to go as high as 50 centsr'- Youths Companion.
