CONNELLY CRITICISES MAYOR.
Chairman John P. Connelly, of the
Finance Committee, and Councilman
Dripps argued the amendment. Connelly
criticised tho Maor, saying that "It
comes with exceedlngb bad grnce for
the gentleman on the second floor to ob
struct the efforts the Municipal Court Is
making to help the delinquent child."
President MeCurdy voted for the Dripps
nmendment, giving as his reason the fact
that he thought th IIuus of Detention
could be sufficient! enlarged to meet
the needs Councilman Hulzley, another
Organization member of t'ounclls, sec
onded the amendment, but did not vofj i
Mayor Blankenburg hud sent a personal I
letter to every member of select Council,
outlining his objections to the plan made
public recently by Judge Brown, of thi
Municipal Court, for eluborato structuien
wi the site at list and Race streets.
CONVENTION HALL SITE.
It became known that Director Cooke,
of the Depnitment of Public Works, has
been for somo time negotiating for the
purchase of the property at Ust and Rnctj
streets, chosen by tho Municipal Court
for Its permanent location as a site for
the proposed convention hall.
During the Reyburn administration II,
fjOO.ono was appropriated for a convention
hall, which business organizations have
urged to be centrall located. That
amount Is available for the project.
Mayor Blankenbuig, In his l-iter to
the Select Council men opposing the proj
ect of acquiring the site at 21st and Race
streets for the Municipal Court, saiil
that the plan Is vague and indefinite. He
pointed out that it is not definitely stated
whether thn land to bo taken is bounded
on tho north by Vine stieet or Winter
treet. Ha also indicated that the project
outlined bs Judge Brown Includes arqulsl
tlon of virtually an entire city block In.
tead of the comer of the block at 21st
and Race streets
The Major advocated acquisition of
land adjoining the House of Detention at
much less cost He asserted that if tho
land is condemned for the Municipal
Court the icsponslbilitv for blocking the
convention hall project will rest upon
Councils, ns It had been planned to locat
the convention hall n the sits now
chosen by the Municipal Court.

bright, clear and beautiful day greeted
Ihe horso lovers this morning who
thronged to the Bryn Mnwr Polo
Club to attend the second day's exhibi

To save you from Injury and possibly
your lives, tho Home and School League,
children, have taken a number of photo
graphs of children In dangetoua posi
tions. These small people may bo playmates
of yours. At any rate, you will seo that
many of you have dono the same foolish
things that tho boys in tho plctuies nro
doing.
There Is the little lad climbing up the
signal tower. His small dog wants to
follow him, but can't. He may tamper
with the signals and tho engine driver
then will become confused and wreck
muy follow which may cost many lives,
and many a boy nnd girl will loso a
father or a mother.
Another picture shows two little boys
trying to lenrn how cars are coupled.
There Is a locomotive at the other end
of tho train. It will start the cars mov
ing and tho boys will bo lucky If they
are not hurt.
Do you see the boy with his foot fas
tened In the track. If he had not been
walking on the railroad this would nut
have hnppened. Should n train come
nlonE before ho could bo freed this
bay would surely loso his leg and per
haps his life. He is only 5 years old, too.
Now do you see the two boys stealing
a ride. Terhnps you would not do s
foolish a thing. One boy has ono foot
In the stirrup and the other on the Jour
nal box right against the wheel. Tho
least Jolt will throw him under the train.
The other boy Is leaning out In such a
way that he may bo struck by a car on
tho other track. Both the boys may bo
killed for their folly.
All these plctuies are teal pictures of

have a word In the fashion notes, since
he do senslblv disregarded the edict to

and he Is appearing dally garbed for mid

It is Interesting to note at a fashionable
outdnur event of this kind the evolution
of the sweater and to seo what wts unco
a homely convenience transformed Into
a garment of beautv. Coat models uf
silk or Shetland have added indivldualltv
by the Inttoductlon of a g.ry silk ccarf
or sash, while the coloring shows all tho
novel shades of the season
Miss Isabella AVanamaker, who is
among the prize winners, wore j par
ticularly pretty sweater of a soft shade
of old rose.
During the morning hours an almost
uniform attlro Is selected by the major
ity of the visitors, consisting of white
linen skirt and the sheerest and daintiest
of lingerie blouses, while a Panama or
soft hat ot some description shades the
eyes. The color scheme Introduced with
a tie or girdle Is aguln carried out In
the wearer's f ilk stockings.
Society had a little Inter to sleep this
morning, as the opening bugle did not
sound until 10.SO. Many were on hand,
however, for the opening hunting class,

There were many to lunch at the club

been told how wrong it Is.
Ths league also has a message to the
parents. It Is not told In pictures, how
ever, but Is In cold type, with figures to
substantiate every statement.
The general conception Is that nine,
tenths of the peisons killed walking along
the tracks are tramps. Not 2i per cent,
are tramps. The tramp knows the danger
of trepnsslng upon the raihoads and,
although he uses them as his highways,
he Is cautious.
Seventy-five per cent, of Ihe persons
who are run down by trnlns are chil
dren, artisans, laborers and professional
iron, who attempted to u- rallrond prop
erty as a short cut home or to work. It
Is estimated that the productive value
of a human life Is W.om As :i per cent,
of the deaths ate tramps, the value of
the life of each trespasser is reduced to
a value of llO.ftO). The loss of life by
railroad trespass In monet'tiy figures In
pinductlve wealth is estimated at r3,ron..

the burdens that are thrown on society
or the homes which are ruined when a
breadwinner Is taken away.

Death under tho wheels of nn olcvatM
train nt the 60th street station In full
Bight of his wlfo and several hundred per
sons this morning ended the financial
troubles of John J. Dallns, of 1519 North
C2d street, tho former bookkeeper who
was being sued for JdO.OOO by tho h. P.
White Company, jewelers, of Ninth and
Chestnut streets. Dallas fell beneath the
train In such a way that both suklds
nnd accident theorlea are tenable.
Dallas and his wife were on their way
to Norrlstown for tho Becond day of the
equity stilt. They wero walking slowly
along tno platform of tho GOth street sta
tion of the elevated. As n westbound
train drew Into tho stntlon Dallas stepped
to tho edge of tho platform nod turned
until his bnck wob to the rails. Then he
toppled over. Two cars passed over hli
body, vlrtually-cuttlng him In half.
Mrs. DnllnsTurnod Just In time to sea
her husband's body dropping over the
edgo of tho platform. Tho next Instant
tho train shot past her. Sho bccam
hysterical and was taken to her home
by witnesses. The mutlllatcd body was
taken to tho Homeopathic Hospital
morgue.
FALL SEDMED DELIBERATE.
Men nnd women who saw Dallas fall
to his death from tho 'oastbound plat
form say that his fall seemed to have
been deliberately planned. They declare
he gauged the dlstnnco cnrcfully so that
his body would fall directly over the far
track where ho could not escape the
wheels. The heavy train was under
brakes at tho time and was slowing tip.
Owing to Its weight tho motormnn had
not the slightest chance to prevent ths
killing.
DALLAS FACED TWO CHARGES.
. Two different actions wero unde?
way against Dallas, ono tho equity suit
and tho other on criminal charges. Ha
was under n total of JW00 ball on the
charges of nttemptlnK to blow up the
jewelry olTlce where he had been em
ployed, and embezzlement. It Is be
llcved that the fear of facing thesa
criminal charges led hlm to take hits
life. A desire to soften the blow to his
wlfo Is thought to hnve mado him try
to mako his death look llko an accident.
Judge Aaron L. Swnrtz, nt Norrlstown,
decided nt 10:"i0 o'clock to contlnuo the
case against Mr. Dallas to give time for
further action. Counsel for Mr. While
lntlmnted that the hearings would go on,
and that another defendant would be sub
stituted. Tho Court was notified by ths
Evening LEnatJn of Dallas' death and
the fact that his body had been taken to
tho morgue of the Homeopathic Hospital.
It was leutned today that Dtllas moved
from Ardmoro to tho more modest resi
dent In 62d street to rcduco expenses at
the udvlco of his counsel, after he had
declared that ho had no money. He also
sold his automobile. Mr. Whlto tertllled
yesterday that Dallas told him lie had
no money, but ho is said to have arrled
$;0,u00 life- instil anco, and that he rj
woith liO.WX) In addition.
Somo ot tho witnesses from this city

of them continued to Nonlstown after
Unfile was leuumeil, unawaro that tho
man ground to death under tho wheel
