GLOBE AUTOMATIC SPRINKLER CO. 2035 Washington Ave. Dickinson 1531 PRUCRS CRUSH BOY PINNED IN MANHOLE Gilbert Creelcy, Crippled Child, Fatally Injured Two Motor Vehicles Involved V rnTOMENEVEKr TON FEET J.", The police today are making an effort y to ascertain which of two trucks crush 3 'ed out tho life of Gilbert Creely, four jj- years old, a cripple, of 4130 Orchard j! street, Frankford. $.k Braces, which the child wore on his- legs, prevented him from escaping, after he had been caught In a manhole, as he was hurrying to escape from tho on- ' coming trucks. One of the trucks struck him, threw him under the big wheels and crushed the little body.' Ho died v a few minutes later, upon being carried f" Into the Frankford Hospital. The driver of ono truck, Joseph Ryan, 3329 Woodland avenue, was arrested, but the driver of the other truck cs ' caped. He Is being hunted by the po lice. Llttlo Gilbert was a favorite In the " neighborhood. His frail little legs, en ' cased in the braces, made him the ob- '- Ject of many expressions of pity, but ' his radiant smiles seemed to offset his ', affliction. Hurrying across tho street last night ahead of tho big motortrucks, one foot caught In the manhole and the brace' held it fast. Both trucKs noro uown upon him as ho struggled. Only a faint -' spark of life burned (n tho llttlo body when It was picked up. Which truck .truck the child Is not known. CHARITIES BENEFIT BY WILL Emma M.

Tho an nouncement adds there has been "a great AeW of misconception" ns to the new ruling of the department In the matter of regulation of the awarding of war contracts. Philadelphia business men, In the be lief that tho city was to be Ignored In the awarding of future war contracts, had planned a concerted protest to Washington, but in view of this latest turn It Is believed the protest will not be made. Not to Cnrtnll Production "In Its announcement that future Gov ernment contracts are to be carefully regulated !n Philadelphia, Camden, Chester, Eddystone and other points be- causo of the critical housing conditions that exist," Bays tho statement. "It Is farthest from the Intention of tho War Department to curtail essential produc tion In any way. Quite the contrary. "It Is worse than useless to award contracts In localities whero there nre insufficient facilities to take care of the labor already there. "Eddystone is the best case In point. In that city housing conditions are at a point where it is no longer possible to bring in additional labor. One needs but to consider the huge plants already there the shipyards, Baldwin Eddy stone Itlfle. Eddystone Munitions. West- inghouse Machine and numerous others to realize that to build new houses at a cost of $6000 each, when proper facili ties already exist elsewhere, would be a woeful waste of time, labor and money "Tho War Department definitely plans to produce twice as much ma tcdal from now until June 30 next as It has produced since the beginning of tho war. "Contracts must, therefore, be award cd In those localities where tho facili ties for production are now In exist once. Any otner policy is not to be considered. Therefore, far from cur tailing production In any particular, the umioite Is planned. "Production Is to be speeded to tin limit. Opportunity If Prepared "Any plant which, in point of view of all conditions, such as labor, fuel, transportation, housing, plant facilities. ' etc., Is capable of producing essential material, and can establish these facts, will bo given every opportunity to dn Its share of the war program." Ernest T. Trigg, president of tin- I Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce, had planned to' get In touch with of ficials In Washington today. Accurate Information relative to tho labor and pwer situations was to bo complied and forwarded the War "Department. Men prominent in Industrial circles were relieved today upon learning that tho War Department docs not plan to withhold contracts from this district, but to only curtail them where to much work Is already being don.o that to award any more contracts would be to Impede the speed-up program, rather than to aid it.
