BOYS AT GLEN MILLS
ENGAGED IN BUILDING
FIREPROOF HOSPITAL
Huge Undertaking Will Be
Worth $30,000 When
Completed No Worker
Older Than 1 7 Years.
Boys of tho Glen Mlllo School, none
moro than. 17 yours old, aro building
thomselves n modern fireproof hospital
on the school grounds. "When completed
tho building will bo worth 30,000. It will
have all tho conveniences of tho most
modorn hospital, including wards, private
rooms, sleeping porches, isolation wards,
dispensaries, a drug storo, elovators and
quarters for tho nurses and attendants.
The hospital is being built more for
emergency cases than becauso of sick
ness among the boys at Glen Mills. Fresh
air, sunshine, supervised athletics and
gymnastics, supplemented by Interesting
work; a meal consisting of beef, beans,
beets, bread, potatoes, tea and a good
big slice ot applo pie, nnd plenty of
sleep, keep tho boys about as healthy
as boys can be. Tho authorities at Glen
Mills, however take no chances with
the boys' health, and tho wards are fre
quently filled with boys whose tempera
tures nro no higher than normal.
F. H. Nlbecker, the superintendent,
said: "It Is n tremendous undertaking to
build a hospital 93 feet 6 Inches long, 31
feet 8 Inches wide, a basement and two
stories high, with nothing but boy labor.
There Is not oven a mason on this Job;
In fact, nobody looks after It at all but
myself. You must consider, too, that none
of our boys Is more than 17, and wo have
on an averaga only a year and a half In
which to teach the boys how to work."
SHIFTING PRESERVES INTEREST.
As tho boys attending Glen Mills aro
generally so strongly individual that they
forget all about the rights of others, It
is necessary that they be kept highly In
terested to get good work from them.
To prevent a loss of interest In their work
the boys building the hospital aro fre
quently shifted about. They like their
changes, and one boy became so Intense
ly Interested In his work that he volun
teered to build tho big brick columns that
support the Colonial porch. Since he
started building the columns' he has not
had to tear out one layer of bricks, and
tho columns are plumb and true.
"Vocational education has been going
on hero for ycare," continued Mr. Nl
becker. "We teach a trade differently from
the apprentice' system. As soon as a
boy can do a thing well we take him
away from that part of the trade and
put him at something he does not know.
Rather than exploit the boys, we want to
give them something they can use when
they leave us." ,
A boy at Glen Mills learns his trade
much the same as merchalcs were taught
10 years ago. In tho woodwork, for In
stance, a boy takes a rough board and
works on t until ho has finished a chair
or a wardrpbe or whatever his plan called
for. Much of the equipment for the new
hospital will be built by the boys them
selves. HOSPITAL OF COLONIAL DESIGN.
The general appearance of the building
will be that of a Colonial mansion. The
foundations and floors are re-enforced
concrete. The walls ore brick outside
and hollow tile Inside.' The boys havo
made the forms for the concrete work
and havo molded all the bases for the
columns and the window sUls. As soon
as the roof la on and the windows are
In they will Install a steam-heating plant.
The hospital Is more than 850 feet above
the Glen Mills station on the PennsyU
vanla Railroad. The sleeping porches
overlook the playgrounds and miles of

COMMUTERS COUNSEL MEET
Arguments to Be Presented at Rate
Rehearing Gone Over,
A conference of the attorneys who will
represent tho commuters before the Penn
sylvania Public Service Commission In
tho rehearing on tho passenger rate In
crease case at Hnrrjsburg Friday has

fice of Edward B. Martin. The lines of
argument to be presented before the com
mission will be determined at the

It was rumored In Harrlsburg today
that the commission may not hold a for
mal rehearing of the entire rato case at
this session, but may simply review the
complaints of the commuters against the
decision rendered In Philadelphia De
cember 12. If the commission decides
that tho protests of tho commuters
against Its former decision aro well based
an entlro reargument of the coso may
then bo ordered.
The Commercial Travelers' Association
of America, an organization with mem
bership of 00,000 traveling men, this
morning advised Edwin M. Abbott, one of
tho attorneys for the commuters, thnt
It would co-operate In every way pos
slblo In tho fight against the rate in
crease. In a letter to Mr. Abbott the
association also said It Is now prepar
ing to fight the recent Increase In mile
age rates.

"DOT LEEDLE GERMAN BAND"
NEUTRAL TO THE LIMIT
Plays "Tlpperary" for Suburbanites
and Moves on When Paid to Quit.
There was nn air of loneliness about
tho fashionable settlements along tho
Main Lino on Sunday, and so to arouse
th( residents a German band started a
campaign of music (?) In thnt section.
They began at Narberth nnd selected
only the most up-to-dnto selections.
When they played "Oh My Love, Please
Pull Down the Curtain" many Indignant
residents obeyed literally, and there was
a banging of windows. But If there's
any one who doesn't understand sarcasm,
It's a German musician, and so thoy
played on. They struggled along with a
number of things which reminded one of
summer weather, and finally launched
into "Tlpperary."
Tho residents could hardly 'believe their
cars. Little Lester Jcfferles, who hap
pened along, belloved that such proof of
neutrality should bo rewarded, so ho
tossed tho musicians a coin. Other resi
dents laid aside their books and also con
tributed generously.
The strenuous Germans played on and
started to repeat their program. Finally
one of Narberth's very conservative citi
zens threw up his hands In anger.
"Vat's der matter?" asked one of the
musicians.
"Why do you keep on playing?"' asked
the man.
"Vy, because you pay us," replied the
German.
"We're paying you to stop," said the
Narberth man in disgust.
Tfie players took the next train for
Bryn Mawr.
PATIENT FIGHTS CROWD
Temporarily Insane, Man Gives
Battle to Attendants.
It took more than a score of husky
men and a big, fat policeman from tho
8th and Jefferson etreets station to get
Thomas Kitchen, 63 yenrs old, of 93S
Jforth Sartain lstreet, to the hospital, to
day. Kitchen, suffering with pneumonia,
and said to have been temporarily do
ranged, refused to enter the ambulance
of St Joseph's Hospital.
When the physicians entered the house,
Kitchen refused to leave his bed nnd
ordered the physicians and attendants to
retire. When tho latter attempted to re
move him forcibly the patient sprang out
of bed and seizing a hatchet began to
wield It violently over the heads of his
would-be captors. The latter retreated
and summoned a policeman and a num
ber of neighbors. A second attempt to
get Kitchen into the ambulance 'was
made. He became more violent, how
ever, and drove the men Into the street,
after which he bolted all the doors and
windows.
In the meanwhile the crowds outside
grew In number, amazed at the uncouth
siege. A third assault upon the house
was finally ordered. The door -was
broken open. The neighbors, ambulance
attendants and physicians,, led by the
policeman, surrounded the unruly patient.
He was disarmed, strapped and bound
and carried into the ambulance. The
physicians explained his behavior as due
to temporary insanity brought on by the
acutenees ot hl.s Illness.

Lincoln Acker was In charge.
Sale of tho hotel, wnlch years ago

Many of tho bellhops who have seen

who for 28 yenrs has been delivering Ice
water, drinks nnd other things to the
guests. Some of tho bellboys raid to
day that they would stroll up to the. City
Hall and mako n bid,
"I haven't enough money to buy the
Continental," said Hartley, "but it's go
ing to bo an auction, and the auctioneer,
according to law, must accept my bid no

It was reported today that a syndicate

Tho Continental Hotel was opened Feb

Into tho hands of his nephew, Harry
Stevens, and other's. The next owner was
J. E. Klngslcy, who sold it to Colonel
Mnttby. Then tho Continental Hotel Com
pany sold It to the Netherlands Company
In 1903.
MOVE TODAY TO ACQUIRE
HOUSE OF DETENTION SlTE
Municipal Court Plan Which Aroused
Protest May Be Involved.
The first step In tho notion to acquire
land for the House of Detention, the Ju
venile Court "and other purposes," which
are said to Include tho establishment of
the entire Municipal Court at 21st and
Raco Btrcets, will be tnken this after
noon with the meeting of the Board of
Viewers at 2:30 o'clock. The board will
Inspect the property to detcrmlno the
amount of damages to bo awarded for
tho condemnation. The land Is owned by
the Magdalen Home. '
In Soptember Councils passed on ordi
nance over the Mayor's veto providing
for land for the Juvenile Court Just be
fore the ordinance was passed Judge
Brown, of the Municipal Court, gave out
a map purporting to show how tho build
ings would be situated.
Next day It was found that land large'
enough to nccommodato tno buildings
shown in Judge Brown's plan would have
to bo three times tho sire of the plot
to be condemned. This aroused a Btorm
of protest and the plans were not men
tioned again.
The action of the Board of Viewers
today is the first stop in tho acquisition
pf the plot. Tho presumption la that
other ordinances will bo Introduced to
ncqutre the remaining land needed. This
would cost nearly 31,000,000, and the build
ings themselves would cost another
J1,000,000.
