13TII WARD CASES POSTPONED
Registration Board Hears Renewed
Plea Against McNIchol Man's Voto
Hearings of petitions filed by the Com
mittee of Seventy asking that the names
of oertaln voters be atrlcken from the regis
tration books of the Thirteenth ward were
postponed by the Board of Registration Com
missioners this morning. Instead, the board
heard the potltton of Meyer Michaels, Mc
NIchol follower In the Fifth Ward, to have
the name of Harry Hayfllch, 411 Lombard
street, stricken from the registration books
of the tenth division of the Fifth Ward.
The fight against the vote of Harry Hay
fllch, has recurred every election since 1911.
It Is alleged that he Is unable to prpve
legal cltlxenshlp. Hayfllch'a father came
to the United States In 1862, but was not
naturalized until 1904. It Is charged that
Hayfllch'a assertion that he was born In
Rarltan, N. X, In 1881 cannot be so because
Ms father had not moved to the United
States at the time.
The Board of Registration Commission
ers will conduct hearings until 10 o'clock
tonight and from 7 to 10 o'clock tomorrow.
These are the last days of hearings.

PAPER MONEY CUT INTO CONFETTI
SCATTERED IN WEST PHILADELPHIA
Children Find Ground at Sixtieth Street and Paschall
Avenue Strewn With Bits of $1 and $5 Bills Police
w Can't Solve Mystery and U. S. Investigates Case
Oval-shaped fragments of apparently
genuine 81 and It bills are as common as
table salt In households around Sixtieth
street and Paschall avenue
Children of the neighborhood are bagging
school to browse around the big lot running
from Slxtynrat street to Fifty-eighth on
raschatl avenue, so that they may take
home handfuls of the egg-shaped fragments
for dinner
The (lovemment won't give a canceled
postage stamp for any fragment, or frag
ments, no matter what their shape Is, un
less their total area Is two-thirds of the
whole bill. It's a hard Job, though, to get
pieces of the same bill when there are
hundreds of them In the neighborhood.
The neighborhood (Uncovered the hills
through little Cora I.lndliolm, twelve years
old. of 1411 South Mllllck street. With her
chum. Anna Weber, sixteen years old. of
1414 South Mllllck street, she was taking
a short cut home on the path that slgiaga
through the lot. They saw some Italian
children picking up "green stuff from the
ground.
"It can't be grass. Let's sea what It ls,M
aald Cora. They did
In a little gully that runs down to the
tracks of the l, n. and W Railroad were
these wads of "green stuff." They were
fragments of IS and II bills. Cora ran
home with both hands full of the '"stuff that
couldn't be grass" and showed It to her
father ICinll.
The elder Llndholm took It to District
Detectives Trlntx and Qulgley. of the Slxl)
fifth street and Woodland avenue station,
who started to Investigate. The fragments
measured three-quarters by one-quarter ot
an Inch.
In the meantime the gully had been raked
and searched by neighbors, but the supply
seemed Inexhaustible. Prints and Qulgley
went to the lot this morning and picked up
twenty of the curious fragments within a
halt hour.
Is It a practical Joke? Did somebody
with money to "burn" cut the bllla up so
that the finders woutd get nervous prostra
tion finding the missing p eces? Are they
the work of a clever counterfeiter, who at
tempted to get rid of evidence? Or are
they part of loot of thieves pressed too
strongly? Prints and Qulgley could find no
answer to this quest'on. and the matter
now reata between them and "Matt" Orimn,
of the United States Secret Service, who
was called this morning.
