at Percy and Buttonwood streets, when
tho men attacked her and later made
their escape when her cries for asslstnnco
brought no answer.
It was shortly after 9 o'clock when tho

Miss Schwartz for a.- certain brand of

as she straightened up one of tho men
aimed a revolver at her.
"Come on, shell out," he said, "or I'll

At tho same time the man's companion
climbed over the counter, also drawing
a revolver from his pocket. With a

LAWYER GIVES LIFE
TO SAVE OTHERS FROM
DEATH AMID FLAMES
Louis Silverman Trapped
in Burning House at 708
Pine St. While Men and
Women He Warned Make
Hard Fight to Escape.
A young lawyer sacrificed his life today
to save other occupants of his burning
homo at 70S Pine Btrot. His body was
found charred almost beyond recognition
In a third-story room, after thoso ho
aroused had escaped or were rescued by
firemen. A half hour later his fiancee,
frantic with grief, tried to kill herself.
A four-months-old baby was thrown
from the third-floor window and caught,
unharmed, by a policeman. One man
Jumped from tho third floor and is In the
Pennsylvania Hospital with serious In
ternal Injuries, and a man nnd his wife,
their clothing nblazc, were carried down
ladders by- firemen.
The dead man was I.ouls Silverman. Ho
had offices in tho Commonwealth Trust
Biiildlnir. 12th and Chesfnutatrets. Hal
fcalMaacd&enariMws P4llllne'lt!mWWwwvfeTtimr
Cohen, 627 South stteet. '
Miss Cohen became hysterical when
she, learned that Silverman wns dead.
She ran to the second floor of her home,
tied ono end of a veil around her neck,
and tried to hang herself from a gas Jet,
but relatives, who had followed, pre
vented her from doing herself nny In
jury. Silverman nnd Miss Cohen were
to have been married In June.
The fire Is believed to have started be
neath the stairway leading to tho sec
ond floor. It burned through that floor
and was attacking the third-floor stair
way when Silverman was aroused.
Tongues of flames were working through
one flight of stairs leading from the third
floor when Silverman awoke. He ran to
tho head of the stairway and then turned
back to arouse the other occupants of
the house.
Dr. Nathan Blumberg, the owner, heard
Silverman's shout and aroused his wife.
They carried their four-month-old baby
to a third-floor front window. The child
was wrapped in blankets and dropped
from a window. Jacob Herman, who also
had a room on the third floor, Joined
Dr. and Mrs. Blumberg, but as the flames
approached the front of the house he
decided not to wait, and risked tho Jump
to the sidewalk. He was picked up un
conscious and taken to the hospital.
Just what happened to Silverman after
he aroused the others Is not known. It
Is thought he started for the second floor
In the belief that there might be somo one
asleep there, but was driven back by the
flames. By that time the hallway from
the rear to the front rooms also was
filled with flames and smoke, and Silver
man probably found himself trapped In
a rear room. There he died.
By the time firemen arrived the entire
building was In flames. Dr, and Mrs.
Blumberg were hanging out the third
story front window, almost hidden by
the thick clouds-of smoke billowing

River Three Shells in Use.
Tho outdoor rowing season of the Unl
vcraltyof Pennsylvania began this aft
ernoon when three crews were boated and
sent on the water. It took some time to
get the shells ready for the Initial spin,
nnd Conch Vivian Nlckalls gave orders
not to do nny lacing, but merely to pad
dle up the river nnd back again. The
crews sent out were the varsity eight, the
Junior nrslty and the freshman eight.
More crews could not be sent out be
cause of lack of accommodations nt tho
College Boat Club.
"It Is a matter of muc'n regret," Bald
Mr. Nlckalls, "that I can't put more
crews on the water right now. Later on,
If wo can And accommodations, I hope
we will have twice as many boats work

to do the best We can hero. I hope that
the department crews, nt lenst, will keep

HOME-RUN BAKER
MAY PLAY AGAIN
Farmer and Erstwhije Ball
Player Would Return to
Diamond if Offered Big
Money.
TRAPPE, Md., Feb. 20.-J. Franklin
Baker may not bo lost to baseball, after
all. Ho said today that while his reso
lution seemed as strong today as on last
Monday night, uhen he wrote his fateful
letter to Connie Mack announcing his re
tirement, he did not know how he would
be affected when ho sees the sport pages
blossoming out with their picture layouts
and gossip from the spring training
camps.
If he does return to the game, how
over, It will be at a decided Increase In
salary over the remuneration he received
last year as a member of the champion
Athletics of the American League. The
club that gets his services, ho said, "will
have to want him a whole lot."
"You mean you'll want more salary?"
he was asked.
"That's It." he replied.
"Will a 12000 Increase do?"
"I'll want much more than that," he
said. "I hate traveling and It will take
more than that to get back Into IL I'd
.hate awfully to have to play with any
other club than the Athletics, though.
Connie has always treated me white,
and I think he Is the greatest manager
In the business."
Baker said he would keep In condition
by working out here,
"Flapper" on Parade
A young woman such as they call a
"flapper" In London who had the cour
age of her convictions but denied that
she was paying a bet, promenaded up
Chestnut street today In a costume which
attracted a large mate and female follow
ing, The crowd got so large (hat she
fled Into a store for protection arul the
purchase of a pair of gaiters, .which oo
of the curious who managed to flock Into
the store watched her don.
The young stranger, who declined to
give her name, appeared at nth and
Chestnut streets, cjad frprn nead to foot
in the "airiest" of summer attire. The
latest spring creation In"' the way of
headgear topped oft a diaphanous skirt
of White, clinging material. White satin
pumps failed to conceal very much of
white, silk-clad ankles.
A number of promenaders who were
among the crowd following the "summer
girl" In February thought she might have
mistaken Broad Street Station for Palm
Beach. Others thought she was paying
at) election bet, and some admitted
that tfie was certainly a "nifty spring
chicken," anyway.
Frightened Thieves Leave Loot
Thieves, who had an automobile wait
ing to carry off several thousand dollars'
worth, of silk early today, were fright
ened away from the factory of Earner &
Scbletlnger, 1033 Race street, and left the
goods they bad packed up for removal.
Several bolts of material, yalued at ISO,
were snatched up by the burglars In their

More Than 2000 Bov Scouts

of Other Youngsters Lis
ten to Sunday Preach on
Christian Life.
More than a thousand children, 300 ot
them Boy Scats, responded to "Billy"
Sunday's appeal this afternoon nnd signed
cards pledging themselves to accept
Christ as their personal Saviour. .
It was nn Impressive sight when al
most all of tho children In tho tnbernacle
roso to their feet to signify that they
would try to lead better lives, and It
was only the lack of sufficient number ot
personal workers to take their names
which kept the number of converts be
low several thousand.
When the sermon was over tho Boy
Scout band, which played numerous selec

preaching, resumed Its activity and to the
tune of martial strains 163 "trall-hltters"
from Scranton, who had arrived at the
tabcrna"l3 In a body shortly after the
Bervlce began, marched to the front and,
led by Maurice Thomas, sang a number
of'parodlos and popular songs. They will
be present at the service In the tabernacle
tonight and will be called upon by
"Itodey" to repeat their repertoire for the
benefit of tho "grown-ups."
There were about 350 Scouts present
