SCHOOLBOY "HAZING"
ENDS IN AUTO WRECK!
Machine Ditched and 'Freshies'
Thrown From Car
A hazing bee engineered by the upper
clashsmen at tho Lansdale (Pa.) High
.School last night ended seriously when
the motor truck In which the hazers and
their victims were crowded was ditched
and wrecked on the Welsh road on tho
brink of the Wlssahlckon Creek. The
truck belonged to Harvey Js'ace, a
wealthy Lnnsdnle contractor, and was
tnken without his permission by Stanford
N'ncc, his son, a Junior at the Lansdalo
High School.
Before the start tho legs of the 'fresh
ies" were painted green and they were
tied together with ropes. It was Intended
lo tnke thTn to Montgoineryvlllc, about
two miles from here. When they got to
tho Wlssahlckon btldgc young Nace was
blinded by the lights of a passing ma
chine nnd ditched tho truck. An axle
was broken anil the "freshies" nnd their
tormentors were thrown out. This ended
hazing. An nxle of the truck was broken
and the f lightened occupants of the ma
cnlnc fled.
Jacob Garner, a Lansdale textile manu
facturer, heard of the hazing, and rushed
to the scene In his big touring car. He
rescued his son. Samuel, one of the
"frcshle" victims. Frank Boyer also
camo to the assistance of his Bon War
ren, another of the victims. A telephone
messnge to the Hecbncr garage here
brought nsslstance, and a big hauling van
was used to tow the broken truck, and
the hazers and "freshies" who remained
back to Lansdale.
Henry L. Seaman, supervising princi
pal of the Lansdale schools, declines to
discuss the IncUent beyond saying he has
always been opposed to any form of haz
ing. He says he beiees the parent will
ti.i- some offlciil action. It is also be
lieved the Bord of Education will act
In the rrutter.

Plea of 16-Year-Old Mary Man
gana Refused and Italian -
Is Sentenced
Samuel Uarlgo, an Italian, who lives on
South Eighth street, was sentenced In the

accused of having kidnapped the girl and
keeping her In an empty house for two
days.
"Let me marry him," pleaded the girl

girl's words.
Much sympathy for the girl was shown
by the spectators ln the courtroom today
ns they listened to the evidence regard
ing the kidnapping, which occurred July
29. Testimony showed that Darlgo had
dragged her Into an automobile at Water
ford, N, J., and pointing a revolver at
the chauffeur ordered him to drive to
Chew's Landing. There he found an empty
house and took the girl to It. He kept
her prisoner for two days. When they
returned to this city he was arrested and
was turned over to the police of Camden.
It was said he was trying to force the

ment on Eve of Meeting
Miss Katherlne K. Puncheon, principal

sidered as a candidate1 for the office and

boomed Miss Puncheon and Dr. Lucy L.

biology of the Philadelphia Normal
School and principal of the William Penn
Kvcnlng High School for Girls.
Miss Puncheon was ln the public lime
light several years ago when she waged
a fight for the position that she now
holds. She was successful In the contest
In spite of the unwillingness of members
of the School Board to recognize the right
of women to hold executive ofllces.
"I have been away all summer," said
Miss Puncheon, "and was surprised to
learn through the newspapers that I was
mentioned as a possible successor to the
late Doctor Jacobs. While I am obliged
to my friends for their kindness I have no
intention of striving for tho honor."
Dr. John P. Garber Is acting as -Superintendent

MOTHERS' PENSION
MUDDLE SOLUTION
City Treasurer Acts to Break
Deadlock Between County
and Commonwealth
funis of money duo deserted wives, chil
dren and widows from the Mothers' Pen
sion Fund, hut which have been delayed
since last May by a decision of Attorney
General A. W. Powell, will be paid In the
near future as a result of correspondence
between the Auditor General and City
Treasurer McCoach,
Tho net creating the fund provided that
all counties In which tho fund Is operated
mut appropriate a sum of money for the
purpose equal to that provided by the
State. Early this year It was contended
that nil unexpended portions of the ap
propriations made In 1913 nnd 1914 for this
purpose lapsed. A controversy followed
which resulted In the withholding of the
State funds In the month of May. These
funds were also withheld In June, July
and August, tho pension fund during these
monthi operating on half the money It
was to receive under the provisions of the
act.
The deadlock is finally broken by the
letter sent by the City Treasurer to Dep
uty Auditor General Wlllock. It Is as
follows:
In reply to your communication of
August 27, permit me to state that
on December 13, 1913, the City Coun
cils of this city appropriated to the
mothers' pension fund the sum of
?10,000. nnd on November 27, 1914, a
further appropriation was made of
$3890.58. a total of $43,890.28 for the
two years, as provided for In the act
of 1913.
Tho trustees In this county have
expended the sum of $32,569.22, leav
ing a balance unexpended of $11,321.06,
which amount, I take, has not lapsed
to the general fund, and we are very
willing to continue paying the several
beneficiaries now on tho list until our
Councils can make nn appropriation
for this purpose, as provided for In
tho net ot 1915, provided the State of
Pennsylvania will make their pay
ments ns If Philadelphia City Coun
cils had made the appropriation. This,
I feel, is a very worthy cause and one
to which we can conscientiously
stretch a point to meet.
