ALLEGED DRUGGINo.
Continued from page 1

| Miss Trabcrt was too tired when she
was found by the taxicab driver To OBJ
serve him very carefully, and has been
too daaed by the drug to give even such a
description OF him as she may later ba
able to recall. First, she would say moth
ing of herself except that she lived nj
s31 Charles street, Baltimore, and that
she had run away To Philadelphia. She
has since added some bits Of information,
stating that in Baltimore she attended
Rogers Memorial Church, but she con-
tinues her reticcnce about reasons for
her runaway trip, and about the details
Of the time between her escape from home
and her recovery in this city.
The police are continually receiving
calls from neighboring cities 10 be on the
lookout for runaway girls. There is Always
on file at the detective bureau q tragic
list of descriptions. usually so general that
there is little hope of finding the missing
glrl unless. some further clew develops.
Girls are often returned to their homes
in this way, however by identifying some
who stray into the city with those de-
scrlbed on the police circulars.
When found, girls who have straycd
from home often have their reasons for
not telling the truth about themselves,

the police proceeded to compare her with
the description of one Of the girls for
whom they are now looking Her name was
Tague, and she ran away from the House
of the Good Shepherd in Philadelphia,
and the description of her at first seemed
to correspond To Miss Trabert
An officer went To the House of De
tention yesterday on Miss Trabert's ar
rival there, and compared her with a
photograph of the missing girl from Philn-
delphia. IL was at once evident that she
was not the one, and the attempt to find
her relatives from Baltimore WAS con-
tinued. Another report Of runaway
girl was received from Baltimore about
n month ago. Her name and address do
not correspond with those given by the
girl found here, but this clew, too, will
be followed up if Others fail.
A determined effort will bc made To
strike the trail of the taxicab driver whom
the girl accuses of drugging her The police
hope 10 obtain fuller description, and
will make complete investigation In the
hope of finding the man.

GOOD FRIDAY WEATHER
IS VERY APPROPRIATE
Wet Easter Predicted. But Owners
of New Wearing Apparel Hope
for the Best.

II the weather on Sunday is as APP
propriatc for Easter as today's has been
for Good Friday. there viii be every
chance TO display spring hats aud tlney
at church in the morning. Unfortunately
the prediction il for wet Easter. not at
all in keeping with Easter JOY. But to-
DAYS gloom and rain has been exactly in
the spirit Of Good Friday, he dark day
of the Lenten season and of the whole
year in the observance of the churches.
II recalls the first Good Friday when the
sky went dark at noon, and there WAS no
sunshine for three days.
Good Friday is one of tho few religious
holidays which is observed III practically
every home. Though it is essentially a
fast day, 10 is associated in almost every
ones mind with hot cross buns for break
fast The old custom has persisted in
Wilmington, where the little buns with the
symbolic crosses upon them are served mt
almost every table Bakers generally
omit the usual cinnamon buns and other
kinds of breakfast rolls. and substitute the
hot cross buns which everybody demands
Buns are not the only observance of
Good Friday at the home table Not only
those who observe the fast DAYS of the
church, but many who pay little atten-
tion TO every day, to without meat on
Good Friday. The custom has been
growing of recent years in religious de-
nominations which officially have no fast
days.
Special services are being held today in
many of the churches. At St Peter s
Cathedral three hours of devotion. from
noon until 3 O'Clock. commemorated the
three hours agony ON the cross. Other
special services were held during the day,
but this was the central Observance Of
Good Friday for the entire diocese.
The Episcopal churches have held
special services throughout the dav At
Trinity services began at 1890 o'clock in
the morning and will be held also at 4.30,
in the afternoon and 7.45 in the evening

SISTERS BEAU DIDN'T
LOOK GOOD TO BROTHER
Mixup Follows on Market Street.
and Case is Aired in Munich
pal Court.

Miss Mildred Dusaack's choice Of a
-,eau was so unsatisfactory to her brother,
Stanley, and her cousin, John Gasha,
that, as she and her fellow, John Sabasky,
came out of movie in Market street, last
Monday evening, the brother and cousin
attacked her escort and pushed her off her
feet. The pair then followed them around
the corner, and according to her story.
renewed the attack upon Sabasky. The
cousin struck him, according to the girls
testimony before Judge Hastings, in
Municipal Court, today, but the brother
testified it was he who struck Sabasky.
This incident caused the girl to leave
home that night and she has not yet re-
turned, so it was testified. Several threat
eninp letters which Sabasky wrote to the
girls cousin three years ago were read In
an undertone to the court because of the
language.
Miss Dusaack, who is a good-looking
Polish girl. 10 years of age, denounced her
cousin as the cause of all the trouble and
signified a will to stick to her own hearts
choice of man. The latter appeared
with a plaster on his nose and another
on the back of his head.

MADE BUTCHERS OUT OF
. PACKERS, PALMER SAYS
Attorney General Explains Scope
of Divorcement Decree Against
big Fivc.I
BY Associated Press to Every Evening

Washington, April z. Court proceed
ings against the 'big five" Chicago packers
were instituted because 'it had come to
the time for showd own in the industry,
Attorney General Palmer today told the
House Agriculture Committee. The
Attorney-G General, appearing in connec-
tion with pending regulatory legislation,
reviewed what he called the long cam
paign against the industry in court and
before public opinion.
at seemed to me that the thing had
come to point where the packers were
either entitled to a clean bill of health,
said Mr.. Palmer, ''or the public was
entitled to Judgment of some sort
against them"
The consent decree, finally agreed upon
after the government had instituted suit,
he said, was the result
The enforcement decree Mr.. Palmer
said, met every just complaint that had
competitors, against the packers"
''It met them by q Judgment, with
means for enforcing il" the attorney
general continued. "The managers and
influential stockholders in the packing
corporations can be convicted of contempt
of court and imprisoned for any violation
of its terms. This makes these FIVE great
packers butchers and nothing else. They
no longer are menace to the food tables
of America with control of meat s,shsti-
tutcs and all other foods.
II got more for the people by the civil
action than | ever could by proceed ing
against them as the criminals. No
business man ever has been sent to Jail
for violation of the Sherman Act in all
its history"
BY leaving TO the packers the use of
refrigerator cars for transportation of
meat only, he said, I'VE took the poison
out of the practice"
