To ASK BOARD FOR

Application Will be Made in Be
half of Man Whose Escapades
Stirred City in 1913.

from the New Castle county workh0use

recaptured i'm 1915 and is now serving time
at the workhousc and whose time will not
expire until nearly 1890. will ask for n

Streets esCapades aroused this city IN
1913 when he was sentenced 70 ten years
imprisonment and twenty lashea for
robbing the homes ol W W Laird and
t. T. du pont. Before he had served
wear Of his time, Street escaped from the
workhouse in most clever manner. On
Sunday night, November a 1914, while
the prisoners were walking from one part
of the prison to another part 90 attend
church services, Street dropped ont of
the line and sccrcted himself among some
boxes III the workshop. Then with a
hammer and chiscl he made hole through
the ceiling and with painters torch
burned hole through the roof a heavy
storm was raging the night Of the escape
and this aided Street in his plans. A roll
of cloth was used hy Street rs the means
Of reaching the ground
The following night the home OF
Lainmot du pont WAS robbed. Street Ind
taken only coat and pair of pants from
the workhouse At the du Pont home he
fitted himself out with clothes. A long
hunt WAS then started by the police.
During Street $ trial, an uncle was greatly
interested in the young man 5 case. This
uncle was from Pmctown, North Carolina.
After the escape Pinetown was watched
and on February Is, 1915, Detective
Sergeant NardIc, now Captain Wardle
Of the Police Department, arrested the

WE|GHTY TALL CEDARS
MAKE BALCONY SINK
Guests at Ladies Night Function
Given Severe
Fright.

Tall CeCars and their wives and friends
who attended the tri-annual ladies night
last evening IN the new Auditorium,
were badly frightened and much comIno-
ton caused when the floor of the balcony
which held about 200 persons at the time,
sank an inch In the center with loud
report.
Persons in the balcony and under it
were ordered out Of the way. 4 prehmI-
nary investigation indicated that the
trouble was probably due TO hurried con-
struction The balcony Is supported from
the roof Of the building by long iron rods
which are threaded at the ends on which
TO place bolts. These rods are run through
the sills of the balcony and washers are
slipped over them and the nuts are put
on and frightened.
Ii seems that In the construction, num-
Der of the washers had been put on but
had caught on the threads of the rod about
an inch above the nuts. The cross sllls
Of the balcony practically supported ats
own weight but when the people crowded
into it. the strian was too great on the
threads and the washers slipped, allowing
the balcony to drop with resoundlng
crack. Building Inspector Preston Will
make a thorough inspection Of the bal
cony today to determine II there Is any
danger existing.
The affair was held under the auspices
Of Brandywine Forest, No. 20. About
1000 persons attended. A two-hour pro-
gram Of entertainment by Philadelphia
talent opened the evening, after which q
patrol drill was given. The evening closed
with dancing and refreshments.
Neglect on the part of the mechanics
is given by Building Inspector Ellis i.
Preston as the cause of the balcony sag
ging. Mr. Preston explained that in
order to get the proper Gambler or curya-
ture of the beam supporting the balcony
it was necessary TO draw the various bolts
together. This left the bolt on the end
loose and this. according to the building
inspector is what caused the slight drop
in the balcony.
Eight foot bolts fastened to the cords
of the truss extend to below the balcony
and support the balcony. The failure
to tighten up this bolt resulted in the
drop. Mr. Preston said that there could
not have been any severe drop as nc
bolts were found stripped and no timbers
were found cracked.
The actual drop amounted to three
quarters of an inch, according to the
measurements taken thus NOR ming by MIR
Preston.
