HOLD-UP IN BAKE-SHOP
"Don't cry, little glrli tears would soil
that pretty complexion you have," said a
well-dressed oling highwayman as he
pointed a revolver nt Miss Emma Stec
bles, 22 years old, In a bakery shop con
ducted by her father, William J. Steebles,
at SSH Market street.
The good-looking stranger threatened
Miss Rteehlcs with death It sho did not
Immediately turn over to him tho con
tents of the cash register, but the threat
wns made In a manner that would havo
passed the censorship of the most polito
drawing room. Miss Steebles gave her
visitor the money and he escaped. De
tectives aro searching throughout the city
for him.
"Looks like snow, doesn't It?" wns the
pleasant greeting of tho stranger ns ho
walked Into tho bakeshop Inst night.
Miss Steebles was completing n pyramid
of "sticky" buns on the top of a glass
showcase, nnd her father was at work
In tho rear of tho shop.
Miss Steebles warmed Immediately
toward the oung man; his cheery smile
revealed such fine, whlto even teeth nnd
his gray ccs carried a whimsical
twinkle.
The visitor Inquired the address of an
other bakeshop hi West Philadelphia, and
Miss Steebles turned around to look In
the directory. She found the address and
wheeled about. A great fear gripped her
nnd she nearly fainted when she saw that
the oung man wns resting a revolver on
the edge of the counter. The barrel of
the little weapon wns pointed nt her
heait.
"How much money have you In the cash
register?" Inquired the man. Ho still
smiled plcrisantly and his eyes twinkled
an whimsically ns ever.
"t don't know." replied Miss Steebles,
weekly. Tears of fright had come to her
oes and her knees trembled so thnt she
felt she would sink to the lloor.
Then It was that the young man said:
"Don't cry, llttlo girl: tears would soil
thnt pretty complexion of yours."
Ills voice was as smooth nnd soft ns
that of a considerate father addressing
his llttlo daughter. But the revolver still
pointed unwaveringly at -Miss Steeble's
heart.
"I shan't cry," gasped Miss Steebles,
defiantly, and she blinked away her tears
and tried to keep her knees from shak
ing so.
"Now, llttlo girl, please be no good ns to
press tho button on thnt cash register
and tell mo how much money you havo.
I do not cam for the checks or silver; I
want Just tho bills."
An Intervening showcase prevented passers-by
from seeing tho levolver which the
stranger held on tho counter. Several
persons, who looked Into the window tn
passing, thought that Miss Steebles was
just carrying on a pleasant conversation
with a good-looking young man.
Miss Steebles opened tho cash register
nnd, gathering up about (20 In bills,
passed them to tho young man. Then
she closed tho drawer.
"Thank you ever so much," said tho
robber-gentleman as ho folded tho bills
and placed them In an Inside pocket.

HOTEL, WHERE SIX
BURNED TO DEATH,
CALLED FIRE TRAP
Atlantic City Coroner
Finds the Overbrook Lack
ed Safety Devices
NO ALARMS, NO LIGHTS
ATLANTIC CtTY, Feb. II. - Witness
after witness, before the Coroner's In
quest today, testified that the Overbrook,
the nve-story brick nnd frame hotel In
which six person" lost their lives a week
ngo this morning, lacked almost every
thing In tho way of the commonest safely
devices.
According to tho testimony:
There wns no lire hose, nor was thctc
any lire gong to nlnrm sleeping guests.
Some of the oldest cmplo)cs thought
they had at one tlmo seen a lire ex
tinguisher, but the- wero not certain
about It.
The single night bellboy was ex
pected to look about the hotel more or
less, but there wns no regular system
of Inspection.
Thete were two fire-escapes on the
Mve-storv structure, one In tho ex
treme le.ir which the guests could not
reach nnd the other In n live-foot
nrenway separating tho old frame sec
tion ot the house nnd the new brick
front on Pacific avenue, useless be
cause of the many confusing turns In
tho hallway.
There wero no red lights to mark
the exits on tho third nnd fourth
floors of tho doomed building.
Thero wero wire fire-escapes for In
dividual uso in most of tho sleeping
rooms, hut for the most part thov
wero kept In closets. Xobody ap
parently ever saw a posted notice to
describe to guests how the escnpes
should bo used.
Thomas Kpps, the night bellhop, the
only cmploe on duty In the front of the
hotel on tho morning of tho hlnze. said ho
never even saw one of the Individual
escapes.
Miss IMith Miller, nf Philadelphia, ono
of the guests, gave the inquiry a sensa
tional turn nt Ita outset by refusing to
answer questions from the Jury. She wns
in n hysterical condition, but managed to
tell how sho was awakened by smoke In
her fourth-floor loom and remained nt n
window until firemen took her down a
ladder. Sho heard no telephonic alarm
nnd did not know there wns nn Individual
escnpo In her room.
Miss Iconise Murphy. Roland Park, Md.,
denied that there was any telephonic
alarm In her room. She was awakened
by noise on the floor nbnve.
Wurren I Itldgway, owner of the Over
brook, said there wero Indlvldunt escapes
In nil rooms when ho leased the hotel to
lllchard II. Mott, and two exterior Ore
escapes. Ono ot these ran only to the
roof ot the dining room, but thero was
a ladder to reach the ground Rt tho end
of tho building.
Tho llro equipment of the Overbrook,
nidgwny said, had been approved by the
Rulldlng Department.
Illlchaid II. Mott, lessee of tho Over
brook, could not be present because of n
nervous collapse. Prank Morales, a po
llco clerk, read a statement In which
Mott said ho was awakened by n tele
phono call ami (Immediately afterward no
tilled of tho flro by Miss KUa Lawrence,
tho housekeeper.
Mott admitted In his statement thero
wero neither flro hoso nor fire gongs In
the buildings nnd that the elevator was
out of order.
Harry Dorazlo, night engineer, who dls
covered the file when It wns a small af
fair In tho bakeshop told how ho ran
to arouso Nicholas Deray, tho chief en
gineer, and how they tried to light the
blaze with tho puny stream of a section of
gnrden hose that was too short. Dorazlo
said It was then 4:45 o'clock.
"I asked Thomas Kpps, tho bellboy,
whether he had sounded nn alarm," De
ray said, "and ho replied that ho had."

All the "strikers" have returned tn their

am.
"Kutly !0 per cent, of Hie children are

The number of children reported In

cording to Wllllnm c Lynch, tho chair
man nf the Parents' Committee, that Is
backing I ho ehlldien In their strike to
get bnck William II. Sowtlcn. former prin
cipal of the Filler School, who wns trans
ferred to the Mnrtnln School.
Mr. Lynch said Hint seotrs of the chil
dren are still "striking."
He said he hail letters from all over the
Kast commending tho stand the children
and their parents had taken In protesting
tho removal of Mr. S-'owdcn. He snld
tnnny of the letters were from school
teachers In New York and Pittsburgh.
The telephone bell at his house rings con
tinually with people calling him up from
all over the city, snld Mr. Lynch, urging
the "strikers" to keep up their fight nnd
not drop the struggle till Mr. Sowdcn Is
reinstated. The lClcmentnry School Com
mittee of the Hoard of Kducatlon lefuscd
to chango their first decision at a recent
meeting.
Pnrents of the striking pupils will hold
a mass-meeting tonight In the Cerman
town Hoys' Club. 21 West Pcnn street, to
decide upon definite action.
As the llonrd of Kducatlon has refused
to accede to the demand of the parents
In tho matter, It is highly probabtn that
plans for a suit in equity will be mndc.
The parents who declaro thnt thero was
no reasonable excuse for tho transfer of
Mr. Sowdcn bcllcvo that tho Board of
Kducatlon can be compelled to show with
figures and facts Just why It took such
action.

It is not enough that soup shall be pure. It is not enough that soup
shall be scientifically prepared and thoroughly cooked. Soup may be all of
these and yet not be Franco-American. For sheer Quality of ingredients,
Franco-American Soups are unapproached. But added to this is a touch of
Genius personal and inimitable imparting to these soups the culinary nice
