This is what ho had to do, however,
ror every time he rolled In from hki
homo at 102 Manhclm street, German
town, to tho Schndewald Mills which he
owns, In Kenslnston, pedestrians dcolrlne
to bo conveyed to town for a "Jit" would
atop out and hail him. The pristine
glossiness of his well-conditioned car,
ho says, served only to make It a shin
ing mark among those of more ancient
Vintage. And those who wished to speed
townwnrd seemed to prcfor hl3 car above
all others.
Of course, ho didn't have any Intention
of stopping them, but what can a help

oncoming machine doesn't halt at tho
behest of his opulent wave of tho hand,
ho forces th? Issue by autocratically step

"It got so bad, by George," Mr. Schnde

me to pull up and explain that my car
wasn't a 'Jitney.' They'd Jump on the
runnlngboard while I was doing my best
to evade thorn. A man can't go 10 feet In
his car In this city without having them
swnrm all over him. They're absolutely
without mercy.
"Only the other day, in Camden, I inns
coming up from a trip down In Jersey
when a woman stopped out at 8th and
Market streets and hailed me. It was
late at night, und I was In a hurry, but
she got so close I had to stop. 'Take me

said, haughtily, her little nlckle In her

and benra the words, 'Not a Jitney', In
gold letters, the 'not' emphasized by cap

wnld, adjudges a man innocent until he
Is proved guilty. The tame forbearing
spirit should be shown to automobiles.
No caf should be hailed as a "Jitney," he
said, until Its actual identity has been
discovered.
In the meantime people are laughing at
htm and his little sign. But he doesn t

them.
As regards this word the quotation Is
not verbatim. Modification has somewhat
weakened the original lauguage.
NOTE WITH DEAD FOUNDLING
Mother Left Rcpentnnt Note in Grip
With Child.
The mother of the week-old dead infant
found In a red grip In a pew of St.
Stephen's Roman Catholic Church, Broad
and Butler streets, left a pathetic note of
self-accusation sticking In the handle of
the bag. She evidently felt that the
Rev. Charles Scanlon, rector of the
church, would find the body, for she left
a request that the grip be taken, un
opened, to an undertaker. The mother
Insisted several times that tho bag be
left unopened.
According to the mother's note the child
had been dead since Monday. She prom
ised to send JJ5 to the priest as soon as
she could get the money. "I Intend to
repent the rest of my life for being such
a sinner," the note said. It added thnt
tho child was baptised at home. Deputy
rmnr Edward Greenhalgh said the
mother'a request to have the chltd burled
with prayers will be granted.
Police Pursue Baseball Pools
Another arrest has been made In con

ball gambling pools. Thomas Akers. 40
years old, proprietor of a milk and cigar
shoD at 1800 North Sth street, has been
arrested by DetectlveB Ayre3 and Wal

baseball pool tickets In Akers-possess on
and that ha has US agents. He is be ng
held In 800 ball for a further hearing
before Magistrate Carson today.

,000,000 COMPANY
PLANS $2 "MOVIES"
Will Produce Masterpiece
Films in Own Theatre at
Regular Drama Prices.
BY TUB PHOTOrLAT EDtTOrt,
The Mutual Film Corporation, known
throughout tho length and breadth of the
land because Its chief director Is I. W.
Grimth, nimer of "The Birth ot a Na
tion,' Is in the throes of Internal dis
sensions. It was announced today that
Harry E. Altken, its president, would
secede and form a new corporation,
backed by Wall street money. This In It
self would not mean much, for anybody
with enough money can film pictures, but
Altken Is taking with him Grimth,
Thomas H, Ince. nnothcr master di
rector, and Mark Bennett, the wizard of
comedies.
The new company la to havo a capl
taxation of K0OO.0O0. with a pledged re
servo of 120.000,000 to be used In case of
need. The now company purposes the
production of master nims, which It will
exhibit at Its own theatres at $2 a seat,
even as "The Birth of a Nation" Is being
mown in ivcw Tork, Boston and
Angeles.

New lork Motion Picturo Corporation.
As head of two companies, the Itellance
nnd the Majestic, nnd as backer of D. W.
Grimth, maker of the Grimth features,
Mr. Attkcn's position Is strong.
Also In this coterie would be Thomna
H. Ince, the Keystone Comnny, tho Bron

Tho Lubln two-reel drama, "Such
Things Really Happen," in which the fake
type of rconarlo teaching school Is ex
posed, hns created a great deal of Inter
est and discussion throughout the entire
photoplay world
Emmett Campbell Hall, author of the
Lubln "Road o' Strife" serial, who wrote
"Such Things Really Happen," has been
almost swamped with letters slnco the
play wns released last month. Hall for
some time past has been on tho trail of
tho so-called schools that for a certain
prlco guarantee to make a photoplay
wrlght of any one. He has put several of
them out of business and he wrote the
"Such Things Really Happen" drama to
reach a wide publlc and show the methods
used by some of theso fake schools.
Hall's advice to would-bo playwrights
Is to get some of the good photoplay
writing textbooks on the market today,
read the trado magazines cnrefully, send
a two-cent stnmp to tho Lubln scenario
department for one of their Instruction
booklets and go to work, with lots of
emphasis on the "go to work."
One of the most peculiar effects of the
great popularity of "Tho Goddess," tho
Vltagraph "serial beautiful," can bo
found In a request received by Miss Anita
Stewart, who plays tho title role, from
the Brooklyn postofflce asking that tho
Vltagraph star kindly discontinue her
clipping service until an appropriation for
additional carriers has been passed by the
rostmastcr General.
Miss Stewart has a contract with a clip
ping bureau that sends her all of the
clippings containing her name. When
"The GoddesB" was released a flood of
clippings from tho many hundreds of
newspnpers that aro publishing tho story

of the phenomenon wan sent to the tth

The house sergeant dispatched two

Investigation proved that It was caused
by a welrd-looklng photographer who
was taking pictures of a saloon.
In order to get plenty ot evidence the
sleuths did not go too near. The stranger
slouched along for a couple of blocks and
then, stopping suddenly, took the plcturo
of a mill.
"He's a German spy," whispered ono of

"I'll bet he's making plans to blow up
the mills," said his pal But the photog

There were no mysterious cards or

Saint Jude's brought himself and his
rheumatism back to his parish, and saved
his daughter's reason.
Tor three days Elinor hnd hardly slept
or eaten. Never once had she been In
ward's room, but always, day and night,
she was Just outside When on that
Wednesday evening the doctor said Ward
would live, she went down once more Into
her garden.
Mnny times during those three days
had minor tried to prny to Ward's God
and found herself voiceless and Inarticu
late. But now, out of the depth of hor
great relief, came welling tho first prayer
of her life. She stood waist-deep among
her phlox and larkspur.
"I thank Thee," she said. "I thank
Thee"
Nothing had been heard of Huff. The
assault on tho assistant rector of Saint
Judo's had been of a lino with the other
mysterious happenings around the village.
Tho little town wns hag-ridden with fear.
Extra constables had been sworn In, and
from tho Hall, during her long night
vigils, Elinor had seen mnny lighted win
dows where bofore there had been but the
one.
Tho problem of her future began to
obsess her. It was plainly Impossible to
stty on here not thnt sho feared ex
posure; sho was quite past fear but tho
thought of going on with her life was
Intolerable. To meet Ward, to seo again
the scorn and loathing In his oyes, more
than all, to continue to deserve them
thoro were tho thlnss that to Elinor
seemed worse than death ItBelf.
All tho philosophy that old Hilary had
taught her failed her now. The revolt
ot the Individual against laws mado for
tho masses what had It brought her but
Isolation and grief T Of what use was
revolt? All must go through the mills
ot the gods. She knew that now. There
wcro no exceptions. And something else
she hnd lenrned: that If ono Is to live
through great crises one must have a
higher power to turn to for help. She
hud felt It vaguely at the time ot her
father's death. Sitting outside Ward's
door she hnd known It. Every breath had
been a prnyer to something, she know
not what, to save him,
"I thank Thee," she said agnln.
Tho phlox nnd larkspur quivered about
her ns If under the touch of a gcntlo
hand.
Boroday had been free for thrco days,
but beyond a telephone, message announc
ing his release she had heard nothing of
him. Over the wire ho had ndvlsed ex
treme cnutlon. She Judged from that
that things woro not going well,
Sho knew that Huff's recfcloss crime
would demand a scapegoat. There were
bound to bo arrests. All this Elinor
knew quite well. It was In such an at
mosphere thnt sho hnd drawn her earliest
breathB the piny of cunning ngnlnst cun
ning, vtt against wit.
Sho did not send for Borodny. She
dared not. But because the Intimacy be
tween her and the middle-aged Russian
had always been very close, he seemed to
feel her need. And so, on that Wednes
day night, an hour or so after midnight,
ho came. '
Old Henrlctto enme down and tnpped
softly at Elinor's door.
"Boroday," she whispered. "Ho has
rung from tho arbor."
That was ono of old Hilary's devices:
a hidden wire from the arbor to thu
house. It prevented collisions. Tnless
otherwise summoned, no member of his
band ever come directly to the house.
Elinor went out and found him there.

Between her lingers she ran the beads

"No," said the Russian. "I can see that;
But moke no mistake. You are good at

"I could sell the house and-and I da

others would divide them."
But, Boroday would not hear of this.
To a certain extent ho was reconciled to
her going away. Things were closing In
on the band. Before long they would
probably alt have to separate. It wer

So for a llttlo time they discussed ways

"In oomo ways," Elinor said, "I 'eel
as though I am deserting him." She
glanced toward tho graveyard where old
Hilary slept "But all I can think of
now Is to get away, to forget everything."
"When will they be able to move Mr.
Ward?"
"In a week. I should think." '
