Attributed to Him
QUESTIONS HER MOTIVE
Mies Amanita Sykea, flancee of Kill D,
rlgar, confessed Slayer of Kdward Doland,
flatty denies the testimony of Sllsa Claire
Lyons, friend of the rfentl man. when she
testified nt tho hearing "of Krlgar's appeal
fat- release on ball, Miss ijykcs says ahe
will testify at. the coroner's Inquest Tuesday.
"It must lie plain to the- public,'' ahe
sayB, "that Miss Lyons had Home motive In
rushing to the witness stand the way elm
mil, and per conduct upon the witness stand
speaks Volumes of what kind of girl sho
la t think.
"I havo been lota by Kllls's lawyers to
say nothing Until f taka the witness stand.
I have obeyed them In this, but I can't help
saying; that I was closest to Kills nil the
time that the men were holding up the car,
and I certainly did not hear him use tha
words that M as Lyons said she overheard."
Miss Srkcs, contrary to report, will be
permitted to continue her course ut tho
Jefferson Hospital School for Nurses. Dr.
II. K. Mohler, directing physician of the
hospital, said today that reports are Untrue
that tha Tinspltat does not permit mi ram
t maintain friendly relations with former
patients. ,
"t have not learned anything" he said,
"that would cause us not to nlloW' MIbh
Sykes to continue her course, She had
such n Very good record when she was here
before, there Is no reason why she should
not bo permitted to continue. I gave Iter
a month's leave of absense. Until there Is
absolute proof that she phonld not bo
allowed to continue, she may return. We
Value her character and her wnik,"
Tho police are hunting for other wIiiicrics
to testify at the Inquest. Coroner Knight
and Coroner's Detective Frank PajiT are
also Becking additional evidence.
One of tho result of tho Uoland shooting
has been the Institution of a campaign
among the authorities of suburban town
ships to stop "spooning" nlong country
roads. They fear a repetition of such a
tragedy an that In which Krlgar shot
Jioiano.
The Morris road In North Wales town
hip Is a favorite rendezvous of couples,
an official there said, and tho authorities
are planning to have an nutomoblle patrol
to do away with the "stalled" machines
along the roadsides.
Tho ban on spooning has been In force

John Woolf Jordan, librarian of the His
torical Society of Pennsylvania, Is very 111
nt his home, 4933 Chestnut street, His Ill
ness Is duo In great part to depression re
sulting from the dangerously low state of
ex-Governor Pennypacker.
The two men have been friends for mors
than a score of years j as Mrs. Jordan puts
it, "long before Mr. Fennypacker thought
of becoming Govornor."
Their friendship became cemented
through their unusually close companion
ship at the Historical Society, where Doctor
Jordan has been librarian and the former
Governor has been president during tin
last Is years.
Governor Pennypacker does not know
that his best friend Is almost ns til ns he
Is, and his physician, Dr. H. Croskey Allen,
wilt not tell him.
Doctor Jordan has not been quite him
self for tha Inst three months, due to over
work nnd nervous Btraln. Ha went to New
Hampshlro nnd came back worse than
when he wont nvvny, and now Is being
mado to Btny In bed constantly, '
Mrs. Jordan said today Doctor Jordan
had been falling for it year, but that his
condition did not become alarming until
recently, nnd that tho Illness of Governor
Pennypacker hnd Berved to accehtuata the
decline. Sho said Doctor Jordan had ap
preciated tho fact that the Governor was
by no means n well man, but he had such
faith In tho strength nnd vitality of 'his
friend that the reports of Illness which
camo 'from Schwcnkvllle had reacted badly.
"I don't bellevs any one,'" she said, "knew
so well how strong the Governor was, nnd
tno snocu or Knowing that this strength i
was being conquered wns more than Doctor f
joruan couiu ucar."
Doctor Jordan Is 76, three years older
than Governor Pennypacker.
Since 1888 he has been librarian of tho
Pennsylvania Historical Society, nnd be
sides his heavy duties there has found llmo
to edit a number of historical publications
besides writing many books. In much of
his work ho hnd tho ndvlce of Governor
Pennypacker. Their mutual Interest in tho
life of Benjamin Franklin has been, espe
cially" n binding tic.

TWO-HOUR TRIP TJO RICHMOND
COSTLY AS VISIT TO GAY PAREE
Stranger From Pittsburgh Found Philly Slow, but
Burned Up $800; Lost Everything but Laundry Check;
Cured of Shackamaxon Street Now
To Thomas Kennedy:
Two hours of excitement, at $400 an hour
$800.
This wns the bill that Thomas Kennedy,
of Pittsburgh, paid for a little fun from 10
to 12 o'clock last night. Ho came here with
much misgiving, for he had heard that thn
"town" was slow. Hut Kennedy concluded
that It was good enough to work In.
So he decided to take n job on the north
eastern branch of the elevated, now In the
course of construction. Tucked tlgtly In a
wallet he had $300, the result of four years'
Having,
He saw a saloon near Shackamaxon and
lUchmond streets. Although It didn't look
speedy, he deigned to enter. Two men
loitered on tho corner. They looked seedy.
Kennedy took a drink or two and chatted
with them. He pit ed these men who .were
obliged to live in Philadelphia. He treated.
They treated. Ho treated, They treated.
Then all was blank.
When the haze faded nway the men had
retreated-. And Kennedy found himself
stnrlng Into the face of a policeman. His
wallet was limp. A laundry check nnd a
few personal papers were the only things
which met his gaze. At the East Glrard
avenue police station Kennedy wns a lit
tle too complicated to glvo a coherent ac
count of what had happened, except to
say that he lost his little fortupo In exactly
two hours. ,
Today he and several cops are" looking
for the men who took the money. Kennedy
was regretful today when he realized he
could have gone to Paris, London, Venlco
and the Alps for the same money which
was spent for a trip to .Shackamaxon
street wharf.
Dr. Cora K. Hosktns's adopted daughter,
Constance, 18 years old, has been (nlssln
slnco Sunday. '
A member of the fumlly said today at
tho Hosklns residence, 2033 Sansom street,
that the girl wns last seen Sunday after
noon driving In nn automobile vvlh a man.
She ran away from her mother's summer
homo In Hast Hockhlll township. Buck
County, vvhllo Doctor Hotklns was nway
for ,a half-hour. The gr! left a note to
her foster-mother, saying that she couln
not bear to faoo her again, now that she
learned that somo wrong she had done
had become known to her mother. Doctor
Hosklns learned of the girl's sin on Fri
day, but the girl did not know her mother
knew It until Sunday. She ran away Im
mediately. ,
Doctor Hosklns has gone to Narragansett
Pier, and has sent her other adopted child
a twelve-year-old boy, to her city residence
In Sansom street. Constance had been with
her eight yenrs, having come direct to her
from nn orphan asylum.
Tho Quakcrtown police have been nble to
find no clue to the girl's whereabouts other
than the fact that'she was' seen In the motor
car with a man. She appeared one night
this week at the farrrt bf Charles Thatcher
near Haycock, saying sho was running
away to a girl chum In Philadelphia. She
was drenched to the skin that night, and
spent the night with tho THatchers, and the
next day they gave her money to come to
Philadelphia. The money was prqmptly
returned to them.
One ob Doctor Hoskns's family said Con.

The widely known sun spot, which has
been blamed for many evil atmospheric
conditions on earth, came up for dis
cussion In some of the papers today. Thus
far the subject has been neglected In ad
dresses by delegates, No report has been
made up to today sb to whether the more
recent observations of the sun showed
an Increase or decrease in the size and
number of the spots,
There la no such malady as "astron
omer's eye."
Among -alt the 65 astronomers at the
convention there are few men wearing spec,
tacles. Furthermore, alt agreed that astro
nomlcal work aids rather than harms the
eyesight
"My own experience has been that astro
nomical observation! are good for the eye"
