Occupied by Thief After two lours of close cross ques tioning today at City Hall by detectives of the murder squad, Julia Howe, 1420 Master qtrcct, u jouug woman detained in connection with the killing vesterdny of an automobile bandit, steadfastly in sisted she hud no knowledge of the guilty men. The girl was later formally placed under arrest. Shu was accompanied ' to City Hall by her sister, .Mrs. Mary Kirshnor, Muster street near Broad. She is the same girl who wept over, the body of the dead man at the morgue , jesterday, but denied she hud known iiim in life. Following a visit she is said to huvo , made last uight to a room at l'.lo Green street, which the police believe' was occupied by tho bandit or his associates, Miss Bowe was taken into! custody nagiu this morning. - The killing took place at Fifty-first1 and Arcb streets, where Hurry rcter mau, eighteen jours old, 33 North Alli son street, u collector for the Americuu Stores Company, was held up and rob bed of $500. The fatal shot, tired by one of the dead man's companions in crime, was evidently intended for I'etcrmau. After the shooting, the body was placed in. the automobile used by the bandits, nnV ,irVvcnv'from tho scene. It-wnaff fotind later in tho abandoned car. Bullet May Form Clue, Tn tun machine the police also found a .38-calibcr revolver bullet, which tbeyj regard as another link in uic cuaiu tney think will connect jesterduy's crime with the robbery of n cloth mill in Ken -sington several weeks ago and the mur der of tho watchman, John Nuun maker, who also was killed by u bullet fired from a weapon of the same caliber.

ArUndoll This man is now lipid without ball pending the outcome of injuries he rs taid. to have' inflicted on a man shot Tuesday, when Miller ran aniucU with a gun at Eighth and Vine streets. Tour others also were wounded in the running fight that ended iu the capture of Miller. Miller, or Mitchell, tbe police believe, knows something about the Nunamahcr murder. Miss Boise, according to de tectives, once lived with Miller at tho Green street address. Questioning of the girl will be re newed thiu afternoon, when the detec tives investigating the case plan to take her to the morgue again to view the body nf hn dead man a becond time. An autopsy will be performed on the body latoaodny. Find Letter Written by Woman In tbe room the police .believe may bavo been occupied by the dead bandit, they found today letters und a postcurd which, nccording to Dctccthe Licu- tenaut Dorcy Wood, the Bowc woman admits she wrote. ' The automobile., whicn was found abandoned at Thirteenth and Callow -liill streets, an hour after-the shooting, with the body of the dead man huddled up in" the rear seat, has 'been identified as the property of Maxwell h.

If I am permitted to do so I intend to include in that building an auditorium capable of seating about 0000 persons, to provide the highest class of orchestral music for the masses of our citizens at a nominal price of admission. In order to construct this auditorium it is necessary to bridge over and tunnel certain portions of Sansom street, and I have asked City Councils to grant mc permission so to do. In order that tome future legislative body may not order me to tear down that portion of the new structure which is designed to go over atid under Sansom street, I have been advised by competent legal authorities that it is necessary to have Sansom street between Sixth and Seventh streets struck from the city plan. The ordinance now before a joint committee of Councils is for that purpose only. For several weeks an attempt has been made to mako the people of Philadelphia believe that I intend to close Sansom street. The ordinance now before the committee of City Councils does not give me that right. say to the people of Philadelphia that I do not now nor have I ever wished or intended to close Sansom street. Should the proposed ordinance be passed Sansom street will be as free and open to the public in tiie future as it is today and a much handsomer thoroughfare. Does Not Interfere With Bridge Plan The following communication was received today from Dr. Warren P. Laird, professor of architecture at the University of Pennsylvania and architectural adviser to the Pennsylvania and New Jersey Dela ware river bridge commissions: "Relative to the statements in the Press of May 23, 1910, bearing upon the ordinance before Councils to strike from the city plans San som street between Sixth and Seventh, I would say that if this street remains open to general traflic the carrying of tunnels under the street or bridges over it at a tuitable clearance could have no possible effect upon traffic congestion because these structures can offer no possible obstruction to traflic.

The nation is moving stupendously forward und cer tainly it needs sober'counsel. The gen tlemen who addressed the Republicau women's national executive committee were in reality uddressing themselves to the 13,000,000 women voters of the country Now it is clear that the! women voters have a definite set of in terests. They are interested in war and iu pence, in law.s that relate to children and child workers iu the pro cesses of education, in the preservation of health nnd especially, in the lavvsj thut urc intended to benefit und protect women worucrs. Mr. Hays, Senator Cummins nnd Mr. Gillett, who cre the orators of honor, spoke of none of these thiues. It is but fair to say that they were at u grear, aisatlvantage.
