WANTED FINE ATTIRE
Lovo of lino clothes, the pollco say,
brought Margaret nnd Polly Gavaghan, 18
nnd ,19 years old, respectively, Into the
tolls of the law twice during tho last two
months.
When tho girls wcro arraigned before
Mnglstrato Beaton nt tho Central Pollco
Court, accuse'd of larceny, this afternoon,
he Immediately recognized them na tho
two who were arrested on December 16,
accused of robbing their father, Hugh
Gavaghan, of 421 South 17th street, of
$400, which they admitted taking from a
cash drawer In his saloon.
Tho fair prisoners were arrested today
on a wnrrant sworn out by Mrs. Jcsslo
Keen, of 6700 Woodland avenuo. She ac
cused them of robbing a slot gas meter
In her cellar while they wcro boarding
nt her home, and nlso of taking consid
erable vnluabto clothing.
Both girls wero attired In latest style,
and did not appear to take their arrest
seriously. Margaret wore a spring nau
tical costume- of latest fashion, nnd had
a now hot to match It. Polly was donned
In n. new creation, with a flaring skirt,
white gaiters nnd nil tho accessories which
go with tho up-to.dato girl.
Tho prisoners denied with considerable
emphnslB that they robbed tho gas meter,
but ndmlttcd, tho pollco say, taking somo
clothing from tho homo of Mrs. Keen.
"Wo sent some of the clothes back," said
Polly, "nnd we would havo sent tho rest
back If wo had been given mora time tn
do so,
"I couldn't send ono waist back,"
chimed ln Mnrgaret, "because wo used thu
goods for trimming on n lint."
In view of the fact that tho girls hnd
promised to do better when they wcro ar
rested before, they were each held In $500
ball for court.
This tlmo tholr father was not present
to savo them from Jail as before, and they
were committed,
On tho previous occasion, Mnrgaret Gn
vaghan said, they took the money from the
cash drawer because the father would not
give them enough to buy clothes with nnd
enjoy reasonable recreation. After taking
tho money they went from ono hotel to
tho other nnd also treated two bartenders,
formerly employed by their father, to din
ner. They were finally found In a Market
street establishment by their father, who
brought them to City Hall.
Ho did not mnko any criminal charge
at tho time, and father and daughters left
City Hall as though everything had been
amicably settled.
They went to board at the home of
Mrs. Keen shortly nftcrwnrd.
Man Found Dead in Gas-Filled Room
A man who had been out o,f work for
some months and had becomo despondent
was found dead In his room at 2752 North
Howard street early today with the gas
turned on nnd the windows and doors of
the room tightly closed. He wns Frank
Smett. 36 years old, formerly employed ns
a weaver. Other occupants of the house
smelled gas when they 'arose this morn
ing, and upon Investigating found Smett
dead In his bed.
Boy Scouts Serenade President
A Philadelphia Boy Scout band of ,20
pieces serenaded the President and Sec
retary of the Navy, In Washington, this
morning. Tho band played "Tho Star
Spangled Banner" at the White House.
The President sent his autograph to the

capital to participate In tho celebration
of the birthday of E. C, Moses, who was
ono of the leaders In tho movement. E. A.

Large Users Prefer
WHITE TRUCKS
o
THE great oil companies, well known packers nnd
brewers, big department stores, national public service
corporations, government and municipal departments, large
transportation companies whose experience covers a wide
range of trucking service, prefer White Trucks.
They know truck values better than anyone else and
they buy Whites in larger quantities and at a higher pur
chase price than other trucks command.
The White today is the dominant truck
of America. In annual sates it out
numbers any other make two to one.
The small truck user, who has never had experience
with a high grade truck, and can form no conclusions of
his own, can very profitably heed the example of well known
concerns who know what a given truck is worth and buy
Whites in preference to any cheaper make.
