CAPTAIN kIDD'S SPIRIT
FOOLED THREE
Bought Farm to Dig For Gold,
Now Won't Pay.

Trenton, July 31.-Captain Kidd
spirit is not a reliable witness as TO
where the redoubtable pirate buried
his treasure, in the opinion of Sophie
Sauter and Marie Blumer, of Pater-
son, and Fred Laeohrs, of Elizabeth,
who appealed to the supreme court
against both the spook and his alleg-
ed sponsor, Daniel Dalsinger, OF OAK
land, n. J.
The three bought farm from Dali
singer on the strength of his assur-
ance that Captain Kidd's spirit had
appeared to him in the night and re-
vealed the exact spot on the farm
where he had buried whole chests OF
pieces of eight, doubloOns and other
treasures pirates were wont to col
Iect.
To bind the bargain, the purchasers
paid 5000 in cash and gave their note
for $4,000. They do not wish to pay
the note now, because they have dug
I'D the entire farm without finding a
single doubloon. They asked the court
to declare the note void on the ground
that it was agreed with Dalsinger that
the $4,000 was to be paid out OF the
treasure.

AlRPLANE BLA9:
KILLS MAN on FIELD
Owner of Passenger Machine
Walks Into Propeller.

Philadelphia, July 31.-Myer Simon,
who inaugurated aerial passenger
flights here, was instantly killed by
the whirling propeller of one of his
planes on the Roosevelt Boulevard
Flying Field Northeast Boulevard and
COttman street.
Lowell S. Harding, twenty-five, pilot
of the machine, was held without bail
TO await the action of the coroner. He
is technically charged with man
slaughter.
This is the first case on record
: here of man being arrested and held
for the death of another in an air.
plane accident Harding was taken
to the city hall in the motor car of
Fred Swarz, common councilman of
the forty-fifth ward.
William Fl. Read, an eye witness,
absolved the pilot of the plane from
blame in statement to Rowland and
Smith, coroner's deputies.
"Simons walked into the blade
while the plane was standing on the
field" said Read.
"While the airpIane was motiOnless,
the pilot had kept the engine running
and propeller blades turning over
slowly preparing for another flight"
Simon, who was thirty-siX, and
whose home was at 2903 North TWEEN
ty-third street, walked into the revOlv-
ing propeller as the plane landed after
a flight, it was testified. His head
was nearly severed from his body and
his spine was broken.
In the plane was passenger NAM
ed Briggs, who disappeared after the
accident. The craft came to a stop,
but the pilot did not shut off his pow
er, and as a consequence the propel-
lers were making nearly 1000 revolu-
tons a minute.
Simon apparently wanted to go to
the rear TO assist the passenger to
alight, but instead Of giving the blades
a wide berth he walked directly into
them. A blade snapped, and Simon
ell to the grass.

BANK CLERKS
FACE ARREST
North Penn in Philadelphia Was
looted, Says PrOhers,
AFTER MEN HIGHER UP"
Predicts DepositOrs win Lose $1,000.
900 Out Of Shortage of 1914
900.

Philadelphia, July 31-Develop-
ments in the probe of the North Penn
bank shed little light upon what be-
came of the $2.144,OO0 loot.
Arrests predicted have been defer
red, in order to give investigators
more time to piece together the evil
dence to show how Ralph T. Meyer,
the cashier, scattered the huge sum
and wrecked the bank.
An official said that additional ar.
rests surely win follow" and it is
intimated that, instead Of three Or
four, there will be "big batch
Officials announce they intend to
prosecute every person, whether bank
employee or depositor, who aided the
cashier in the amazing plot of finan-
cial legerdermain.
They are concentrating their efforts,
however, on the task of unearthing
the man or men higher up who they
believe inspired the wholesale plum
dering of the bank and reaped the real
benefit.
Bank clerks and bookkeepers and
even the cashier are important, it is
believed, only as the tools who perpe-
trated the crime. They will be pros
ecuted with vigor, but this will be in
cidental to the real hunt for the head
and brains Of the plunderbund. If he
Is unearthed, then will come the real
fireworks, the probers believe.
The investigating authorities are
not so willing to belittle the efforts of
the clerks, however, as the clerks
themselves. Walter o. Colflesh, the
bookkeeper admitted on the stand
that he himself was overdrawn $500
at the bank. It was asserted by a
man closely in touch with the situa-
ton that the young mans actual
shortage in his personal account is
$4,000.
One Of the high state officials work
ing on the case, ridiculed declarations
by Meyer and his counsel that de-
positors of the bank would get all
their money back.
The actual less to the depositors,
said that official, will be around ST.
100000. Settlement of overdrafts,
loans and other Indebtedness and the
sale of all the assets of the bank, in
Guiding the real estate, is expected to
net enough to cover the rest Of the
shortage. After everything has been
realized on, the depositors will find
themselves out about round million,
according to this estimate.
How Meyer cody gave Instructions
to four young clerks, including his
brother, to pad accounts, mutiliate
and alter records, make false entries
and run the gamut of trickery and de-
ceit to conceal the. fraud from bank
examiners, was told at Meyers hear
ing.
The cashier is under $4,000 bail
for trial before judge and jury. II
is probable that the evidence against
him will be in such shape that the
grand jury for August will be asked
to indict him and his trial will follow
promptly.

MURDER SUSPECTED
IN GIRLS DROWNING
No Water in Lungs to CoTrOh-
crate Tale of Fianca.

Paterson, n. J., July 31.-After
preliminary examination of the body
of Miss Mabel Harris, twenty, recov-
cred from the Pompton river, the
county prosecutor announced he will
file a charge Of first degree murder
against Lester Decker, twenty-five,
the girls f1ance.
Decker was placed under arrest
after her disappearance Sunday night.
The body was found in the river be-
low a dam on Pompton Lake. The
girls clothing was torn and her gar
ments twisted about her head. She
was without shoes. One stocking was
pulled down about her ankle.
The county physician said there
was no water in the girls lungs, indi-
eating she met death before she feb
or was thrown into the water. He or
dered the body taken to morgue for
a more complete examination.
Decker maintained his protestations
of innocence. He reiterated asser-
tons that Miss Harris met death when
the canoe in which they were drifting
on secluded part of Pompton lake,
was swept over a dam, while they
we're asleep.
No trace was found of $50 and
gold watch which Miss Harris had
with her when she left home.
The girl wore three rings, one a
wedding ring, about which there is
some mystery. This ring, according
TO members of her family, was worn
for the first time by Miss Harris a
week ago last Saturday, the day origi-
nally set for her wedding to Decker.
A shoe, found at a house on the
lake shore, near which a man and wo-
man were heard quarreling Sunday
hight, will be shown the girls mother.
It is believed it may be one of those
missing from her daughters feet.
Decker had been a roomer and
boarder at the Harris home for the
asst three months
