landIord and tenant
accused of homicide
Coroner's Jury Returns Verdict
Against Them for Errand
Boy's Fatal Fall
The owner nnd tennnt of n building at
S:i Arch street were nccused of homicide
today nnd held without ball for court ns
a result of the death of 14-year-old Irvln
Slmpon. R3IG Market street, who was
killed when he fell five stories down nn
elevator shnft In the building on Sep
tember ID.
Following n bitter denunciation of tho
prisoners by Coroner Knight, tho Coro
ner's; Jury, which heard the case In City
Hall, promptly returned a verdict ngnlnt
tho two men. They are Max Slnpkln or
NcwLold. N. J., owner of the building,
nnd Ignatius hcy, 2205 North 13th street,
the lessee. '
Oross negligence on the part of noth
men wns alleged by tho Coroner. Slap
kin wns accused of falling to tnke proper
precautions to prevent nccldents In con
nection with the elevator and Levy was
declared to hn responsible for the death
because It was nlleged he bad employed
the Simpson boy without a certificate of
employment.
A precedent Is said to have been estab
lished In tlvo holding of the owner nnd
tennnt o a building on so serious a
charge because of a death caused by ac
cident. As such, said Coroner Knight,
the case wilt be an effective test of the
child labor law and of the law regulating
elevators.
Young Simpson wns hired by Levy ns
nn errand boy two days before the
tragedy occurred. Levy swore In court
today that the lad had given Ills age as
1G years, but Coroner'j Detective Paul
testified that Levy had told him and
another witness that the boy had said
he wns 14 years old. In either case, the
Coroner declared, the employer was culp
bblo In fnlllng to Insist thnt a certificate
bo brought to him. In obedience to tho
Slate law,
Witnesses said thnt young Simpson was
last seen near the freight elevator shaft
and that they heard his cry of fear as
he fell, and found' his crushed body nt
the bdse of the shaft.
It was admitted by both prisoners that
signs of. warning had not been placed
at the elevator openings. Paul denied a
contention made by City Elevator In
spector Groves that the safety gates
could be opened only with pressure on
a hidden part of the lock. He said the
gates could be pushed open easily.
Slapktn said that although he employed
an operator for tho passenger elevator,
he had never thought It necessary to, hire
an operator for the freight elevator. " Tno
engineer of the building ran the lift, he
said. The engineer testified that he
operated the eleavtor when he had timo
and that at other times various employes
were allowed to handle It. He Instructed
some of them in IU use, but not tho
errand boy,
"This Is perhaps the first chance we
hae had to test the two laws which have
been violated," Bald Coroner Knight after
the testimony was heard. "There haa
always before been b. loophole."
What is the
tuberculin
test?
SCIENCE has but
one sure way to
tell whether a cow
has tuberculosis that
way is the tuberculin
test.
Every herd from
which comes Fair-"
mount Farms Milk is
tuberculin - tested, so
that you know that
this most important
precaution has been
taken to assure you
milk from healthy
cqws. It is the only
milk sold in Philadel
phia vhich is produc
ed exclusively by tuberculin-tested
herds.
Added to this is inspec
tion to insure extra clean
liness on the farm and
bacteria testa to assure
low bacteria clean milk
then perfect pasteuriza
tion. Supplee patrons may
rest assured of this if
science knew any added
precaution than the Sup
plee Dairy now takes,
this would be adopted.
Are you as sure as
this of your milk
supply?

to escape over a shed roof In the rear.
The losi was estimated at J.WiO.
After the fire Wringer went Into tho

day, still alive In spite of Its warm bath.
Tho fish served as breukfast for the home

Kor'y persons were driven to the street
In their nlaht clothing at 4 o'clock this
morning hv a tire In the Johnson Hotel,
a four-story brick tlructure nt Itth nnd

loss was approximately J2000, partially
covered by Insurance.
A flic In the BawmlH of Watson & nnb
Insnn, Queen Inno and Greene street, Oer
mnntown, aroused residents of thnt vi
cinity early today. The blaze wns ex
tinguished with Irlfllnit loss. It Is be
llpved to have been caused by a spark
from" an emery wheel, which smoldered
In scraps on tho second floor during the
night.
Thieves set fire to the grocery nnd
cigar store of Slgmund Hhonholtz. B07
South 11th street, to cover traces of their
crime. It is believed by tho police. Shon
holtz rescued his wife, Ray, nnd their
three children from the pecond story of
tho three-story brick building after n
neighbor had called htm. Five tenants
on the third floor fled.
The fire loss I estimated nt $300. The

months ago nnd two years ngo another
fire was started by thieves.

COLD SORE EPIDEMIC
MYTH, SAY DOCTORS;
IT'S NOT CONTAGIOUS
Nervous Afflictions Cause Rash
That Frequently Is Mani
fest on the Lips, Authori
ties Explain
ONE NERVE ATTACKED
Cold sores nre not epidemic In Phila
delphia; In fact, they couldn't very well
te. but thuy are frequently enough seen
Jut now n'most to warrant the uso ot
that much overworked nnd abused term,
physicians said today. The most wldcl
spread phase of this affliction In the city
In called herpes lablalls, the most obvi
ous sjmptom of which Is a sore on the
lip.
The direct cnuse of the appearance ot
herpes llabltls Is mmo affection of the
nervous system. If, ns may some day
be demonstrated, nervousness In con
tagious, herpes may then bo called epi
demic, but as yet plivslchins nre con
lent to consider It only In Its Individual
cases.
As n rule, nn attutk was ald to bo due
to Inflammation limited to a single ncivo
In the wall of the chest, but more than
ono are sometimes affected. Tho Inflam
mation mny also le seated In the fifth
clnnlnl nerve, nnd manlfcM Itself as
herpes of the face. Moth sexes suffer
fiom It equally nnd omu rons me
much more frcqJntly affected than old.
Cold appears sometimes to be the cnuse
nnd herps rarely shows Itself In those
who arc thoroughly robust, but usually
In thoso recovering from some ncut'e
disease, suffering from some weakening
condition Mko consumption, or some dls-onli-r
of tho mrvnu s;Mm, or In those
who have passed recently through much
worry nnd hard work. .
Sometimes: It Is a sign of pleurisy,
wlilch is not causing sufficient pain to
atlinet attention. Hemes mav nlsn.
though rnrclj, be a symptom of some;
grave disease In the spinal cord or splno. ,
Tho first symptoms nre much like thoso !
of any feverish attack. The person feels ',
IWftor several days, has a slight rise In i
temperature and vague pain In the sldo '
or In various other parts. The pain I
nnniiy semes nt a point In the sldo nnd,
two or three dajs after tho first symp
toms, the rash appears. Minute yellow
blebs nro seen on the skin of the neck,
of tho sides, or of the front of the chest,
or simultaneously on all three, the points
corresponding to the spaco between one
pair of ribs.
Thcso olebs Increase In number and
spread. The pain In thy Btage Is severe.
After ono or two weeks most ot the
vesicles have dried up and formed scnb.
The skin is generally healed completely
In two or three weeks, but a peculiarity
about the pain Is that It may not pass off
.vhen the'eruptlon disappears, but may
remain for weeks or even months.
Physicians said that if the affected
person be In poor health tonics might
be necessary; If he be of a rheumatic
constitution, salicylate of soda may be
used.
