Morris Road Case and
Also in City '
NO REVENUE IS YIELDED

An aged widow is suffering from a
stab wound in the breast inflicted by
robbers when they failed to find any
money in her home, and an II year old
girl was attacked by masked man as
she was washing the dishes in her home,
306S, Ruth street.
Mrs. Ella Erskin, sixty-two years
old, the widow. is in state of nervous
collapse, and the wound may prove fatal
because of her age.
Mrs. Erskin, who lives alone. on the
Morris road between Fort Washington
and Amber, was awakened about
o'clock yesterday morning by the glare
of light on the first floor. She be-
lievcd the place was on fire, and going
downstairs saw two men ransacking
the place.
"I'll shoot you," she said to the in =
truders.
One of the men grabbed her and held
her while his companion went upstairs.
She Had No Money
Mrs. Erskin's captor threatened her
if she did not tell where she kept her
money, but she persisted that she had
no money.
Her captor called to the man up
stairs, saying. "Come on, there's moth
ing here" Then he went out.
When the second robber came down
he demanded that she tell him where her
money was concealed. Mrs. Erskin
reiterated she had no money, and he
slashed her with knife and ran out
the door.
She tainted after the knife thrust
and on recovering consciousness stag
gered to the road, where she waited un-
til an automobile came along. Mrs.
Erskin told her story to the driver. who
place.. her in the machine. speeded to
Amber and summoned DR.. ID. II.
Shelly.
One of the assailants was white,
, and Mrs. Erskin thinks his companion
was negro.
The state police have been notified
and are searching for the men.
Mrs. Erskin is known throughout the
section. For number of years per
sons of Amber have assisted in caring
for her. giving her clothing, fuel and
food. She did little washing and from
time to time worked in Amber homes.
Threatened Girl
As little Ida Wall was alone wash
ing the dishes in the kitchen of her
home last night the door was suddenly
opened. A tall man, his features con =
cealed by a black mask. and revolver
protruding from his pocket. entered.
Ida shrank against the wall. The
man advanced, telling her if she made
n sound he would kill her.
The thug grabbed the girl. Sh'
fought and screamed for help. Hei
cries aroused the neighborhood, and thu
man dashed out the door, throwing hi'
mask off.
Patrolman Kneller, of the Belgrade
and Clearfeld streets station, and neigh
bors searched for the attacker, but hi
eluded them. II
The girl told her story to Distric
Detective Kelley. and search is being
conducted. No attempt at robbery wa
made.

EVANS ASKS AID
ORCHARTERB BILL
Holds Rotary Club and Cham
Der of Commerce Not
Alive to Need
SAYS INTENTIONS GOOD

The aid of the Chamber of Commerce,
Rotary Club and kindred organizations
in behalf Of charter revision is urged
in statement issued by Powell Evans,
chairman of the publicity committee of
the charter revision committee.
His statement follows:
Recently published remarks of the
principals of the Philadelphia Cham :
Der of Commerce, City Club, Rotary
Club and Poor Richard Club indicate
admirable purpose with respect to bet
tering government here. but also indi-
cate clearly that these spokesmen do
not vet realize the essential need of the
passage in order to achieve this better
government.
''It cannot be stated too often that,
no matter what man may be selected
as our next chief executive, or what
men he may appoint under him, or what
men may be elected to the City Coun-
ellis. the present legal structure of our
government is now so hampered by re-
strictive acts and so inefficient in its
functioning that no administratiOn-nO
matter how good or capable they may
be-operating Hereunder can possibly
accomplish proper results. For in
stance, the city cannot do its own
street cleaning and ash and garbage
collection and disposal, and can only
contract for this work for one year.
Having regard for all the abuses and
failures that this system has produced
for many years past, it is therefore
essential that our next administration
be free from this hampering system
and such freedom can only be secured
by obtaining it from the present Leg
islature.
Further. it is impossible to success
fully manage the finances of the city
under the act of 1879. for the many rea
sons that the charter committee has
made clear.
"It will be impossible for the next
administration decently to govern this
city as long as policemen, iremen and
city employees and officials under the
civil service can indulge in politica
activity and are subject to politica
control and assessments. 1t is there
fore essential for better government il
the future that' real civil service act
be obtained from this Legislature.
Further, the present large two.
chamber Council has demonstrated con
clusively that no future administration
in this city can function properly Will
Councils as now constituteds
considered from every angle of fac
and experience both in and without thi.
city. the inevitable conclusion is reached
that Philadelphia needs the substanc,
of the charter bib as a basis and es
sential step for achieving better gov
ernment here. Later will come tn,

S0BS GRIEF

Inquest Places Responsibility
for Death of Little Girl
on CareIessness

Coroner Knight reprimanded Richard
j. Smith today for allowing two re-
volvers to lie around where his children
could play with them, as the result of
which his six year old daughter, Cany
A. Smith, was killed yesterday.
Let this be a lesson to the entire
city the coroner said. ''Revolvers
bought for protection should not be al
lowed to lie around where they can be
picked up by children. This man meant
no wrong. but his own daughter was
killed because of his negligence.
Smith admitted the fault and broke
down and cried.
Look" little Cany said to her two
sisters yesterday, as she backed against
a wall and put the revolver to her head,
"I'm going to kill myself"
She pulled the trigger and dropped
dead. The revolvers were found by the
girl and her sisters under the pillow of
their parents bed
The mother, Mrs. Richard Smith,
left the three children in the Smith
home. 6114 Glenmore avenue, while
she went downtown to do Some shop
ping. Molly, nine years old, was busy
sweeping the kitchen when Cany and
Joe, aged three years, went upstairs.
The two children soon returned,
Cany with the loaded revolver in
her hand, and showed it to Molly.
Before Molly's warning was heard
Cany had pulled the trigger.
Molly and Joe ran to the street
screaming as soon as they saw Cany
fall and neighbors came to their assist
