rive-Year-Old Girl Run Over Near
Her Home.
In plain sight of her mothr sitting
on the steps of her home, May Sum
mers, 3 years old, of 1024 Passyunk ave
nue, was decapitated by a trolley car
this morning.
May was playing across the 3treet
from her home when her mother, Mrs.
Joseph Summers, called to her to give
her a cake. In her eagerness the child
ran In front of a nearside car going
cast on Passyunk avenue.
The car passed over her neck, sever
ing the head from the body. The car
was stopped after it had dragged the
child's body more than 25 feet. It was
taken to St. Agnes' Hospital.
The father of thp child. Joseph Sum
mers, an Ice contractor, disappeared
about five months ago. The mother,
devoid of a means of suppoit for the
dead child and her four brothers and
sisters, had he&n contemplating sending

CHILD DIES AFTER FAST
Did you ever view Philadelphia from a
sightseeing auto? If you didn't sou hae
lots to team. You will iind In some in
stances that famous historians have
greatly erred, thnt statisticians have not
been within gunshot distance of- facts,
and thnt you'll feel at tho end of the
trip that you should brush up on things
concerning your own clt.
A trip on one of these "rubber-neck '
ca-s was taken tnda hv an I'voning
Lrdi: r reporter. He started from Fif
teenth and Market treet In 'oceptive
mood, but before riding a mile was con
vinced that he knew verv little, 'ndcert
about places and i-vcnts In his own cltv
The flit sUrpilse inme when the it
reached the main postolllce. There the
marathon lecturer pointed to the .statue
of Heiijamln Franklin nnd announced In
authoritative tones, "There ie the statue
of Ronjamlri Franklin. It was upon this
very plot of ground that Franklin (lew
his kite and got electricity from t .'
clouds." Some ot the other rldeis ulsc
were amazed. Tho made quiet com
ment, but as most of the passengers a,
peared to be contented the statement
passed unquestioned.
One could half close his eyes and pic
ture tho guide enlightening an nudienc
in a vaudeville house. CHowinc tribute
was paid by the lecturer to prominent
business establishments on Chestnut
street. On leaching Fifth street, he an
nounced that the Delaware River was
five squares east; alco that the Atlantic
Ocean, which washed the j-hores ot New
Jeisej and several other States, was 631.
miles east of that.
CONSCIENCELESS ENCYCLOPEDIA.
Endowed with a vocabulary which
would have done credit to a high school
graduate, the speaker then went on like
a human encyclopedia without a con
science. The block from Fifth to Slth on
Market street was rt fei red to as "great
men's row." Luckily there were no mem
bers of the Pennsjlvania Historical So
ciety on board, for the guide pointed out
the early homes of several Presidents,
half a dozen famous statesmen and resi
dences of others who helped make history
In the days of the city's earlv struggle.
At Seventh street he was obliged to
drop history for commerce. All the de
partment stores got the fullest praise
and the prices of hats and gowns were
not forgotten. In describing one, the
lecturer remarked: "There Is a store so
largo that If a woman bought a hut at
the Market street entrance and carried
It over every floor the hat would be out
of style before she left the building."
Just then a building hove In sight In
which a white coated cook was turning
acrobatic cakes. "That," shouted th
guide, "Is a restaurant where a hungry
man may get anything from a roast din
ner to a piece of bread if he has a roll "
This brought a smile and, ' encouraged,
he went on. "There Is the world's
largest Penn holder. City Hall, and it
cost $3",fVio to hold Billy in place. Even
at that he becomes impatient on account
of the deeds which go on under him "
I'p Broad street the car then wabbled.
When the suburbanites on board were
surrounded by a batch of beautiful build
ings the megaphoned speaker let his ora
tory on nt full speed. No stenographer
could have followed him A Hood of su
perlatives was applied to thp surround
ing architecture. The facetious talker
could not resist the statement that Venus
de Milo on the Academy of Fine Arts
' lost her head on account of praise."
"BUOTHERLT LOVE" EXPLAINED
According to the guide, this Is called
the City of Brotherly Love because the
llrls' Commercial School is opposite the
Boys' Hish School, at Broad and Green
streets.
None of Philadelphia's financiers nnd
the amount of their fortums was forgot
ten on the remainder of the trip up Broad
street When asked about a particular
ornament which protruded from the sec
ond story of nearly every house on an
other strept, the guide looked wise
"They are busy-bodies," he said, "and
on account of present financial conditions
they are placed the.ro so that the real
dents may learn if there's a bill collector
at the door "
Later tho passengers learned that a
large plot of ground containing tomb
3tnne was a cemetery, and more enlight
ening information along this l'ne was
doled out until Falrmount Park was
reached. He showed the playgrounds for
children to the right, and tho playgrounds
for ' policemen and nurses" to the left.
Pointing to the statue of an Indian which
faces both places, ho said. "Even the
vigilant medicine man cannot devise, a
cur" for this condition "
Bv way of educational Instruction, the
guide announced, "No fruit trees can he,
planted In the park, vet the guards often
find peaches In pairs on the benches, " Ah
the rnr was then verv rear the Schuvl
k II River, the speaker again became ser-'ous.

BEARDS GROW WILD SINCE
BARBERS CUT WORKING DAY
West Philadelphinns Sprout Whiskers
Perforce Because of New Rules.
Men living In West Philadelphia who
don't shave themselves are In a quan
dary. They have to get shaved before S
o'clock at night or go sciubby-faced to
the office next morning. It is tiuo that
they could get shaved In the morning,
but as the shops do not open until S
a. m., and many hnvo to be at work be
tween 8 and 9, they won't take chances
of getting a hurried shave from a sleepy
barger in a bad humor.
It's nil due to the Master Barbers' As
sociation. The members contend that a
12-hour day, 8 a. in. to S p. in., is long
enough foi any man to vvotk, and point
out that bricklajers nnd plumbers work
only eight.
To show that they meant business, the
12-hour barbers paraded through West
Philadelphia last night with banners.
Some were to the point, "The barber
has to cut all dav, give him u chance
to cut up nt night"; "We get In a good
many scinpes, but we are human"; "How
would you like to work forever? If
not, why us?" Thnt's how some of the
announcements ran. The men conducted
themselves well and won hundreds of
sympathizers en route.
Then, too, the organization had practi
cal effect. At one hhop where three or
four men weie In tho midst of a shave,
the place closed as soon ns tho aggrega
tion arrived and the customers left with
half a beard nnd half a haircut.
In a brief address Leonard J. Sher
man, president of tho Master Barbers
Association, said that tho movement
would continue until a uniform closing
hour was adopted.

that he had deserted tho bl-partlsun

for years.
"I have always been an organization
Democrat and still am," he said. "I am
a membei of the City Committee nnd have
not In any sense of the word repudiated
that leadership. The rumor seems to
have started from tho fact that at a recent
meeting of the Twenty-third Ward So

Committee I offered a motion approving
of the candidacies of Palmer and Mc

Pleas No. 2, today made absolute a rulo
taken for the disbarment of Itlchard A.
Barron, nn attorney with offices In tho

embezzlement of funds from an estate of
which Justice P.obert M. von Muschzlsker,
of the Supremo Couit, nnd Henry P.
Blackburne, are trustees. Barron studied
law In the same olllce with Justice von
Moschzlskcr several years ago.
Tho proceedings for Barron's disbar
ment originated in a complaint sent the
Rnnnl of Censors 111 a letter dated July
I 20 by Justice von Moschzlskcr nnd his co
I trustee Blackburne. The estato In which
Barron misappropriated funds was not
disclosed but It Is believed to bo the
1 Blackburne Estate. The protest against
Barron continuing the pmctlco of an at
torney waB as follows.
I "We complain against Richard A, Bar
ron, of the Philadelphia bar, who has
represented nn estate for which wo aro
trustees, In tho capacity of nn attorney
, and agent for soma years. It has re
cently been ascertained nnd brought to
' our attention thnt Mr. Barron has de
1 llberately embezzled funds of said estate,
1 which fact he has admitted In a written
i statement showing his defalcation; he

Judgo Barratt before taking action gave
Barron opportunity to uppcar and purge
himself of the charges. The judge stated
that while an example should be mado

follows: "And now, September 23, 1014,
upon consideration of tho foregoing peti
