Yesterdays Press carried a
warning from Southern Pacific Of
ficials of dangers incurred by boys
playing around the railroad yards.
One boy last week became cripple
for life in the yards.
Bows continue to play in this
dangerous place, and possibly Will
continue to do so in s2ite OF all
warnings. Why? Because they
have no other place to go.
The small boy just has to have
some place to work off his surplus
interest and energy. Railroad
yards presentsenough activity to
tempt any boy, particularly when
there is excellent chance to get
free watermelon and cantaloupes.
and also the big cooling chunks OF
ice which fall from the platform.
AS matter of fact, Ell Centro
offers little to amuse a healthy
boy in hot weather. Grown ups
can find relief from the heat in
taking a shower at home, or going
to the plunge on Fifth street. To
the small boy, shower at home
has little attraction, for it resem-
bles a bath, at which he KICKS
whenever he can, while the plunge
is open to him Nply on payment
of two bits, which is more than
the average boy can dig up twice
a week, to say nothing about every
day. Plenty of them have no
shower at home and never two bits
at all, scarcely. But they hang
around wistfully frantic nearly
for the water.
Mondays Press had picture OF
the kids in Philadelphia (not near
ly as hot as Ell Centro) enjoying a
good cooling off, thanks to the
fire department.
Why can't Ell Centre have some
thing like this for Ell Centre kids,
who need it vastly more and are
certainly equally deserving. They
are doing their best to grow up
to carry on the work of Imperial
valley.
There is the foundation for a
good wading pool at City park.
The fountain throws off water
every day, which provides relief
for a few sparrows and a stray
dog now and then, but the basin is
too shallow for kids to do more
than get their ankles wet 1t could
be deepened possibly at small cost.
and make an excellent place for
the kids to splash around in.
If this is not feasible, it would
be an easy matter to rig up show
ers at the park or in the rear of
the fire house on State street. The
fire boys say they would be only
too glad to provide the room neces-
sary for the showers if the city
would install them, which would
be practically the only expense.
1t is not with the intention of
making it bathing place in the
strict sense of the word, but a
cooling off station, where the kids,
both boys and girls, can come in
their old clothes and get a good
soaking. There will be little upkeep
expense and no need of towels.
The sun would attend to that.
Just think back to your own kid
days, Mr.. Grownup, who could so
easily arrange this. You had your
''old swimmin hole where you
spent every day from the time
school closed until it opened. If
you lived in a large city, there
were plenty of free showers, and
convenient rivers where you could
get relief from what you thought
was heat.
Ell Centre kids have no rivers,
no showers, never heard of the
old swinmmin' hole and are COM
PEELED to live through the summer
without these boyhood necessities
i'll much more severe heat than
you ever dreamed of.

WIN Can't Ell Centre Kid Haze
q Little of Fun Dads Enjoyed?

You know how much fun you
would get out of it yourself,
watching a flock of happy kids
having the healthiest time of their
lives. If the fountain at the park
cannot be deepened why not have
the showers at the fire house?
Cantaloupes and lettuce get all
the water they need?
Are boys and girls the least
worth while product of Imperial
valley?
Do you want them to hold it
Loyalty, or leave it as soon as they
can get away to where a boy
doesn't have to feel that he is
cheated of the pleasures and needs
of his natural rights?

No Clew to Woman

Hint From Philadelphia as

Traced to Fictitious Adj
dress; Vendetta Denied

Unsuccessful efforts were made yes
terday to identify the body Of the
young woman found Friday near the
Sleepy Hollow Cemetery not far from
the Tarrytown estate of John D.
Rockefeller, with the head almost sew
cred from the body and with twenty
five stab wounds in tho neck The body
Is at Coffry's undertaking parlors,
North Tarrytown.
The Tarrytown police received spe-
cial delivery letter from n Mrs. Dill
inder, who gave her address as 500
South Penn Street, Philadelphia. In
which she expressed the belief that
the murdered woman was her daughter,
who left home last Sunday. She sent
q photograph, said to show a strong
resemblance to the dead woman. An
investigation at Philadelphia last night
revealed that there is no such address
as 806 South Penn Street, and it was

No Pension for Enright,
Says Citizens Union
Action Sustained by Appellate
Division Except on Inmate
rial Point. Ia Claim

The Citizens Union. which, through
its chairman, Colonel William J. Shief-
fclin, brought suit to restrain the car
rying Of Police Commissioner Enright
on the police pension rolls, issued a
statement yesterday claiming victory
by the decision of the Appellate Divi
sion in regard to the suit.
"The opinion of Justice Greenbaum,
expressing the unanimous conclusion
Of the Appellate Division, is a complete
victory for the Citizens Union" the
statement declares. "Thc decision sus-
tains the injunction granted by Justice
Finch enjoining the continuance Of Mr..
Enright on the pension rolls with a
s3,750 pension under the attempted re-
tirement order already made.
"The decision goes further. By its
reasoning, in holding that the Police
Commissioner, even under the act of
1918, cannot be granted a pension, it
makes clear that, even when Mr.. En-
right leaves his office police commits
sioner, he may not be retired as such
on a pension.
"The modification of the judgment
below is upon an immaterial feature
1t merely strikes out so much as de-
clares the point last mentioned in ad-
vance of the actual attempt to retire
MIR. Enright as commissioner"

Calls Jury to Inquire
Into Alleged Suicide
Freehold Prosecutor Says He
Has No Grounds Now for Ar
rest in Schaefer Death

Coroner d. D. Cashion, of Freehold,
n. j., announced last night that he had
impaneled jury to inquire into the
death of Charles II. Schaefer, of Free
hold. N. j., who was found shot to
death in the cellar of his home on
Thursday morning. Funeral services
were held yesterday afternoon for
Schaefer from an undertaking estab-
lishment in Freehold.
County Prosecutor Charles F. Sex
ton, discussing the case, said that he
had no grounds on which to order an
arrest at this time. with our present
evidence we have to accept the theory
of a suicide" he said, though he de-
clared that he had no intention of dis
continuing his investigation.
Dr. David Carey, who, with DR.. Philip
Hachrucher. performed the autopsy,
said that there was evidence to show
that Schaefcr had been shot while
bending over the furnace as if in the
sct of stoking it. He pointed out that
the revolver was found at least eight
feet from Schaefer's right side, that it
must have been nearly foot from the
mans head when it was fired, and that
the bullet wound would indicate that
it was in some ones hand other than
Schaefer's

Alleged Minister
Held as Fake Near
East Relief Agent
Man Arrested in Jersey Is
Identified as Syrian Who
Duped Preachers; Once
Enlployedby " o Organization

The "Rcv." Jonah Danoc, or John
Isaacs, as the immigration authorities
call hins. faces deportation to Syria as
the result OF the latest complaint
against him. Danoo's home is in Phila-
dclphia. He was held in $4,000 bail in
the I'd Precinct Court, Newark, yes
terday on a charge Of obtaining money
under false pretenses. The complaint
was signed by Julian Zelchenko. state
secretary Of the Near East Relief.
According to the police several other
charges may be made. When he was
brought to Newark from Moorestown,
n. j., where he was arrested, the police
say they found in his possession
numerous letters of recommendation
and credentials indicating he had been
collecting money from ministers in
many cities.
Zelchenko testified that Danoo was
employed only for short time as a
and was privileged to collect money
for the organization, but he alleges
Danoo continued the collections with
out making returns.
Among his effects, the police say,
was a book containing the names Of
prominent men in New York and New
Jersey and statements of amounts they
had given to the cause. The police say
he had the contributors write their
names in the book and later forged
some of their names to letters of rec
ommendation. The specific complaint
on which he was held is that he OBJ
tanned So from the Rev. John c.. Don
nell, rector of st. Thomas's Episcopal
Church. Newark, by representing him
self as an agent for the Near East Re-
lief. Tie police estimate he obtained
at least $4,000 in this manner.
The Rev. Mr.. Donnell says Danoo ap-
peared in his church as "the Rev.
George A. Jorian.' HISTORIAN priest.
Danoo donned vestments and was abou.
to preach, the Rev. Mr.. Donnell said
when he apparently recognized some
ore in the congregation, discarded the
vestments and disappeared.
The Rev. Charles H. Wells, rector Of
st. Andrews Episcopal Church, said
Danoo, as "The Rev. Joseph Jordan"
had spoken in mis- church and collected
money.
When court adjourned yesterday
immigration Inspector Samuel Bar
bara, of New York, arrived. He said
Danoo, as John 1saacs, arrived in this
country from Syria in 1917. He was
placed on u farm near Hartford, Conn.
but few months later began to obtain
money under false pretenses. He was
sent to Ellis Island and was about to
be deported when he promised to be
good and was allowed to stay.
Later the authorities heard he had
been committed to an insane asylum.
