WOMAN BADLY BURNED
in GAS EXPLOSION
Owner of House and Man In
jured as Result of Rob-
bing of Meter

The result of an explos IN of gas In
an untenanted house in Get antown may
leave Mrs. Rose Weisel. OF 5253 German
town avenue. the owner, dishgured for
life She is in the Germa .ttown Hosp al
in serious condition.
Thieves who broke open a slot meter
in the basement are responsible for tho
accident in which she and Ernest Opfer-
man. 55. years old. of $685. Baynton street,
a prospective tenant of her house, at l2O3
East Chelten avenue, were burned
The accident occurred last night when
Opferman went through the house with
her to suggest certain repairs which he
considered necessary. Opferman escaped
with comparatively trivial injuries and
after having his burns dressed at the hos
pital went home,
Opferman planned to rent the Chelten
avenue house from Mrs. Welsel, and after
inspecting It himself he asked her to so
through 1t with him in order that they
could examine II carefully together. They
started to make a thorough investiation
when the odor of gas attracted their at
tention. They attempted to trace II and
found that as they neared the Kitchen
the odor became stronger. 1t was so dark
in the kitchen that they were unable to
find their way about and candle was lit.
AS Opferman struck the match there
was n terrific explosion that could be
heard for several squares. Every window
in the house was shattered, and the cloth
ing of Opferman and Mrs. Weisel caught
fire
They beat out the flames. but not be-
fore Mrs. Weisel had been seriously
burned. They had been hurled across the
room by the force of the explosion, but
neither of them lost consciousness, and
both retained their presence of mind.
Sergeant Hirst and Policeman Welsh,
of the Haines street station, were quickly
summoned by neighbors and an ambu-
lance was called, Physicians at the hos
pital said that Mrs. Weisel would re-
cover. but that the flames would probably
leave their mark on her face. She was
also burned about the hands and arms.
The police are today conducting n
search for the thieves who broke into the
house to rob the meter. Thus far there
is no clue to the identity of the men.

AUTOS HEAVY DEATH TOLL
ROUSES CORONER, TO ACTION
Fourteen Fatalities So Far This
Month-More Arrests Demanded

The killing of three more persons by
automobiles and wagons in this city dur
ing the last 10 hours, bringing the total
death rate from such accidents up to II
80 far this month, so incensed Coroner
William Il. knight, Jr., today that he
will make an effort to have the police
arrest every person seen driving reck-
lessly whether or not he figures in an
accident. 4
This has got to stop he said today.
"Never before have we had so many ac-
eidents Last year there were four
deaths for the whole of January, while
this year We have had IA, with the month
only two-thirds gone"
The Coroner also called his detectives
INTO special consultation. telling them
10 place the blame whenever they could
while working on their cases. He also
sdvised them to make rigid Investigations
and not to depend solely on the police.
The Coroner said also that no person
under q years should be granted a Ii
eense He also said that he would use
ms influence toward passing law TO
mat effect when the Legislature meets
Al the end of the year. The old traffic
laws, said Mr., knight, should either be
enioreed more rigidly or there ought to
Dc new ones. The Coroner will ask Dl-
rector OF Public Safety Wilson 10 order

SEARCH COUNTRYSIDE
FOR MISSING NUN
New Description of Sister Rita
Vincent Sent Out by De-
tective Chief

Captain of Detectives Cameron today
again sent a description of Sister Rita
Vincent, who disappeared from st. Jo-
seph villa, near Cheltenham, January
II. This was done after the police of this
city and Baltimore felt satisfied that the
young woman detained In Baltimore since
last Tuesday was not the missing novice.
The young woman was questioned for
more than an hour by Detective Joseph
Shay. He then expressed the opinion that
she was not the person who was being
sought. The consensus of opinion among
police officials here and in Baltimore is
that the mysterious woman Is either a
Philadelphian or lives somewhere along
the Main Line She was released by
Judge DcLler after promising to return
to his office today and reveal her iden-
tity.
Search for Sister Rita was renewed to-
day in the swamps and woods in and
about Cheltenham township. Sister Rita
was afflicted with tuberculosis when she
disappeared.
