WOMAN STAYS IN HOLE TO
KEEP ELECTRIC POLE OUT
Workmen Cannot Move Her, So
Courts Will Decide Issue.
Will the Pennsylvania Itallroad Com
pany place an ugly old post on her prop
erty? They will not, If Mrs. B. Pelllcoft
has anything to say about it. That is
why she Is established In a now post
hole, dug by the employes of the com
pany, and she does not Intend to get out
until they have departed. Will tho
policemen kindly make tho lady get out
of the hole, bo that the men may go
on with their work? Certainly not! Tho
hole Is on her property, and she has a
right to stay there If she wants to, and
she does want to, so that's all there Is
to It.
This 1 tho situation which is holding a
crowd of spectators at Twelfth street und
Atlnntlc avenue, where the Pennsylvania
Railroad Is erecting poles noccBsary to
the completion of a stretch of electrified
railroad. Tho company believes that It
owns the land upon which the poles are
to be erected, and Mrs. Pelllcoft believes
that her husband owns a particular piece
of land upon which the company has
designs.
Mrs. Pelllcoft is sitting In the hole;
she has had her lunch and says that
she Is looking forward to enjoying
nice chicken supper tonight. Of course
It Is lather awkward, In having the
food brought out to her, but then it
Isn't so had when you consider what
would happen It she got out.
Employes of the railroad say that
Mrs. Pelllcoft can sit there, it she feels
that way about It, until the courts
have decided who owns tho Innfl. They
have tried every possible mean to dis
lodge her and ore now resigned to a
Judicial settlement of the affair.

The regular monthly visit of the un
known thieves who rob the optical supply
store of A. H. Harrison, 590 Germantown
avenue, took pluco early this morning.
A large rumber of glasses and optical
supplies were stolen. Just why tho thieves
single out the optician's place each month
Is a matter of conjecture. By way of
novelty, the Intruders entered thlt) time

called In July thoy gained entrance
through a front cellar window, while a
visit In August was made through a side
window leading from the yard Tho
pollen believe that tho thieves are

Ardmore Man's Disappearance Puz
zllng the Police.
Seated beside a cradle In which tiny
twin boy babies laughed, Mrs. George S.
PIttingcr, of Haws Terrace, Ardmore,
wept this morning aa she told of the
disappearance Saturday night of her hus
band, and pleaded for assistance In find
ing him.
Leaving Haverford Court, an apart
ment house at Haverford where he Is
employed, Pittlnger failed to return to
his home Saturday night. Later, when
she became alarmed over his absence,
the wife left her home and appealed to
policemen on the Ardmore beats to search
for him.
Not a trace of Pittlnger has been found.
Because of Mrs. PIttlnger's request, the
management of Haverford Court em
ployed a private detective to take up the
search.
As they aro known in their little com
munity in Ardmore, the Plttlngers nro
regarded as devoted to each other and
to their children, which makes the dis
appearance of the husband still more
Incomprehensible.
Pittlnger came originally from Balti
more. His children are nine months old.
When he left the apartment house ho
wore a navy blue suit, low black button
Shoes and a gray soft hat.

The "Gaiterboot"
Topmost Style
The beautiful Parisian overgaiter
effect is perfectly realized in the
"Gaiterboot." Its graceful vamp out
line, emart design and modish finish
give it undisputed prominence.
Patent leather or black Russia calf,
with narrow receding plain toe, light
welt sole, and leather Louis heel, the
toppings are fawn, gray or black of
the new imported Dreadnought cloth.
