POLICE ON NEW TRAIL
IN MEEKINS MURDER
Slaying of Boy Now Laid to
Man Living Near Scene
of Crime
A man who has a police record and who
has been accused of having harmed boys
and girls is being sought by the detectives
for tho murder of nichard Meeklns.
Detectives headed by George Timlin,
who Is In charge of tho Meeklns case,
searched the marsh lands In SouthwcsS
Philadelphia yesterday In their effort to
locate this man. They were out .again
early today.
The detectives declare they have In
formation that this man occupied a
dilapidated shack hear Penrose Ferry
Brldg at tho time tho Meeklns boy disap
peared from hli home, 2449 South 61st
street. On the day after that event, or on
November 30, the detectives assert, the
man tore down tho shack nnd has not
been seen since.
On tho supposition that this person can
glvo them Important Information bearing
upon tho murder, the detectives aro pre
paring hundreds of circulars bearing his
description, which will bo distributed
throughout the State and nearby police
centres.
That the slayer of the 8-year-old boy
was a degenernte Is now the opinion of
tho detectlvetVUnd for a man of that typo
their search Is concentrating, Tho
Uogues' Gallory has been scoured for
photographs of men who have been nr
rested for crimes against children and
who were at largo when the Meeklns boy
disappeared.
Timlin obtained photographs and de
scriptions of n number of men who at
some time or other have been found guilty
of such crimes, but who have been re
leased. He also obtained tho Detective
Bureau signatures of these persons, which
will be turned over to Chief Postal In'
spector Cortelyou for comparison by ex
perts with the notes received by the pa
rents of the Meeklns boy.
Belief Is growing In police circles that
Luke Meeklns, father of the slain child,
knows nothing of th,o murder of his son,
and that Meeklns will bo released from
custody when arraigned next Saturday
at Central Station.

Case of Lad Who "Was In
jured at Oakbrook

Felix Petrowsky, who lost both legs and an
arm under the wheels of a Philadelphia
arjd Reading freight train nt Oakbrook.
two miles above Reading,, on Mnrch 31,
1915. A jury before Judge Rogers, in
Common Pleas Court So. 2, returned a
verdict for the railroad, which was sued
by the boy's father, John Petrowsky.
By far the most 'cheerful person in the
courtroom, the lad told how ho and play
fellows had climbed on a coal car of the
train which stopped nt Oakbrook, nnd
how ho had lost his balance nnd fallen
when a brakeman threw chunks of coal
at him. The railroad denied that the
train had stopped or that missiles had
been thrown at the plaintiff. The boys,
the defense asserted, "hopped" the strain
while It was In motion for the purpose of
kicking off coal. .

have asked already of former Perry Intensified
Values
"How in Halifax does he do it?"
For you, it's not a question of "How," but of
our having succeeded; not a question of the
way we did it, but of the Value you get; not
so much your concern that we have blazed
new trails, as that you can buy for $15 the best

worsteds; Oxfords, blues, browns, twills,

tell-tale touches that proclaim their Perry
tailoring!
Now, then, Please Note!
1$ These are not fifteen-dollar Suits in any
sense of the word, except that they bear a
fifteen-dollai price-tag which is sheer good
luck for you, and is due to our most intensified
striving to beat our former best efforts for
value-giving. But, outside of that, they are
$25, $22.50 and $20 qualities, "and after this
