Women Lock Selves in, Direct
Capture ofRed-Heuded Intrude,

Woman's talk prevailed in
the Altman home at 3105
Rittenhouse street NV, last
night until a red-haired male
intruder appeared on the scene
and threw everything into a
dither.
Miss Shirley Altman, %,
had just returned from a
friends wedding and settled
down in a second-f floor living
room to tell her mother all
about it when they heard an
ominous sound.
'Rat-a-tat-tat-tat," came the
staccato noise. "Rat-a-tat-tat
tat-tat," it came again. Obvi-
ously a burglar tool in action!
But the two women re-
manned cool. Ever so quietly
they closed their door and over
the telephone whispered a des-
perate appeal for police.
Scout Cars. 81. 50, and "a.

well in hand.
From a second-floor window
Mrs. Lucy B.. Altman kept the
patrolmen advised on the move
ment Of their quarry.
He's in the kitchen-no, he's
in the parlor," she shouted. The
cops could hear him.
"Rat-a-tat-tat tat tat" is
what they heard.
Pvt. Kemler forced open a
window and bravely went into
the parlor to grapple bare
handed with the prowler. Up
stairs, the woman heard the
pounding of heavy police bro
gans, and q short scuffie.
Then they heard the blue
coats roaring with laughter.
P1t. Kemler had captured the
intruder red-headed wood

D. {. Suffrage Leaders
To Weigh Next Move
At Meeting Friday

District suffrage leaders are
planning a conference next Friday
to plan the next step in the citi-
zens' campaign for an elected city
government.
A. L. Wheeler. chairman Of the
Democratic Central Committee for
the District, said joint meeting
with leaders of other suffrage
groups was being arranged for Fri
day.
One point scheduled for dis
cussion, he said. was whether a
move should be made now, instead
of waiting until January, for dis
charge of the House District Com
mittee from further considera-
ton of the home rule bill. If such
a petition is signed by 218 members
of the House it would bring the
issue before the House, despite the
refusal Of the House committee to
report out local suffrage bill.
Some suffrage leaders at the
Capitol contended it would be bet
ter strategy to wait until next jan
uary to start the discharge petit
ton.
The Senate passed the Kefauver
home rule bill and reorganization
bill last May 81 but it was shelved
in the House District Committee
Since then renewed demands for
action have been sounded by num-
erous citizens spokesmen at the
Legislative clinics conducted by
Chairman Nicely of the Senate Dis
trict Committee.
