South Tenth street, nnd Thnrles .lermuse, thirty years old, who gave his address as 010 Knrnest street, were nrrestcd early this morning and Inter identified 'as IiIrIi wnymen after .Termuse nnd n patrolman had exchanged shots In n cemetery, tak ing rover behind tombstones. The prisoners were identified ns high waymen through the finding, by another patrolmnn, of a bnteh of letters taken from their victim nnd thrown away. Patrolmen Kurtz and Schilling, of the Seventh and Carpenter streets sta tion, liRiired In flip nrrests nnd Run figRht. Iltli nre former servicp men nnd both were with the armies overseas. Patrolman f'apiililnl. of the same sta tion bousp, though he did not tnkn part In the chase and flRht, performed n clever piece of detective work which led to tlie idpntificntlon. Kurtz and Schilling were patrolling together nt 2:!I0 this morning, when tlipv nniv iwn inpn nnnp Stovniitli fctpppr nnd Washington avenue whose actions nroui.eil their suspicions. One Quickly Arrested The patrolmen approached to ques tion the suspects, who did not wnit to be nski'd what thpy wprp doing In that npighlKirhood so early in the morning. They lied, the patrolmen in hot pur suit. Hoth Kurtz, nnd Schilling nre young nml activn. nnd they Rained nn their men. Kurtz soon overtook Salvio. The patrolman arrested bis mini without difficulty and started to the station house with him. Tho spcond fugltlvp. .lermuse. dodced skillfully and mnunged tn distance Schilling for n square. Tlio patrolmnn wns galninR so fust, howrvpr, t lint .Iprmusp dodged into the old cemetery nt Seventh street and Washington nvc nue. Schilling went in nfter him. vaulting tombstones nnd stumbling in the dark iii'ss over grnves. .Termuse could lip hppii now nnd then darkly outlined against the white of a mnrblp tombstone, oi just slipping bp hind the cover of n larger monument. Schilling had drnwn his revolver, anil aftpr calliiiK to the runner to hnlt and surrender, tired in the nir. JenmiMi, dropping behind a tomb stone, drew his own' Tcvolver nnd rn turned the lire, and the battle was on. Second .Man SuiTCntlers Schilling, recalling the days in France, crouched in his cover nnd watched for the tlnsb of his adversary's Rim. I lie patrolman noted tho place tihire .Termuse was hiding behind n broad old marble slab, and begun to wriggle forward as lie bad been taught to do when he wns being schooled to tight (lennnns instend of bandits, using every grave and every ancient hpad stone for cover. In this way he wus able to lire from various angles nt .iermuse, who finally lost his nerve as his ammunition ran low and the patrol mnn persisted in his steady barrage of revolver shots. At last .lermuse called out: '"I surrender," and threw away ids revolver to show that so far as he was concerned the fight wns over. Schilling took him to the station douse and he was slated there with his companion. So far the police have no evidence against the two except that they bad run when spoken to nnd .lermuse Inn! fought u duel with Schilling. It wns now that Patrolmnn Oapallini got in his line work, lip hud heard the shots nnd run up. He snw Kuriv. and Schilling were handling the situa tion unaided, so concluded to ro iivt their trail to searcli for evidence. Not far from the place where the patrolmen had -flushed tin lr quarry, Capallini found a package of letters. All wen' addrpssi'd to August (iuintn, of 1,'tl 1 South Spventh street.

BROKERS SET CLOCKS AHEAD Local Financiers Make Office Hours Conform to New York Time Philadelphia brokers set their alarm clocks an hour ahead of time this morn ing in order to be at their oflice.s at 8 Instead of I) o'clock. New York's adoption of daylight saving wns the cause. New Yoikers gained a priceless hour jesterday when they set their watches nnd elm Its ahead one hour. This morning the New York Stock Kxchungp opened at 10 o'clock, daylight saving time, so that the local exchange, wns obliged to open nt 0 o'clock, stand ard time, in order to conform.

BOY 'FIREBUG' SENT TO Caldwoll Matthews, Broker's Son, Found Insane by Jury on Alienists' Reports PARENTS FAITHFUL TO LAD WHO SET BUILDINGS AFIRE Caldwell Matthews, slxteen-nnd-n-half-) ear-old son nf Frank C Matthews. 10S (iowen avenue. Mount Airy, nml a self-confessed "llrebiiR." was found Insnne by a jury in Criminal Court No. 1 today nnd committed In definitely tn the Friends' Asylum, Frnnkford, by .IiiiIrc Shull. TIip boy was committed nftcr letters had been rend from nllenists. nmnng them Dr. Charles K. Mills, who twice p.xa mined Hip boy. snying lie was nf un sound mind and not fit to face trial. TIip district iittornc) also addressed a cciliiintiiilentlnii to tho court suggesting that the jury bp nskpil to pnss upon bis sanlt.v before trjlng him on the indict ments charging arson. The whole procedure, though strictly legal, was unusual, and attracted u large crowd. When It wns over, nnd the boy had been ordered taken to the asylum, the boy's mother rushed for ward, threw her arms around her son's neck and broke down, sobbing. Caldwell, whose looks indie bis six Ippii .iPiirs. wept too, and put his arms around her neck. The boy's parents, wiio are well off. mnde nn spprpt of their grief, but stood io.inlly beside tlic boy, shielding lilm nil they could. The boy wns brought from the House of Detention nt !l :H0 o'clock this morn ing by Assistant Fire Marshal Mul herin. nnd locked up precisely ns be would have bppn if many years older. Appeirs Younger Than He Is Apparently an hour spent locked in a cell at City Hall had not milled nun. As he tond ut his father' side before Magistrate Mpcleary's bench in Central Station the thing most people remnrked about him wus his smnll sizo nnd boyish appearance. After a couple of minor eases had been disposed of his wns enllpil up. Hp stiiti'd his name nnd address clearly. There were many friendly faces in the loom nnd a bigger crowd than usual because it was known the boy's ease would he called up. Caldwell was dressed in a Rreen over pout, brown hat, npat dark suit, and "parried another hat In n paper papkage. He was well Rroomed nml neat, and did not seem nervous because of the ordeal lie was about to go through. The magistrate's hearing lasted less than three minutes nnd brought out no testi mony of nny sort. Procedure Is Puzzle to Him Assistant District Attorney Harr said he undeistnoil the boy wanted to waive a hearing. "Tell the magistrate you wish to waive n hearing," the father prompted. "What is that?" asked the son. apparently not understanding. "Sny you want to waive a hearing," replied the father. Then Mr. Math thews himself said: "We would like to waive a hearing. "Very well," replied the magistrate. "I will hold jou without bail for the grand jury on the chnrge of arson." The district attorney's office said they would press charges of having set fire to Nos. 111. 114 nnd llfi (lowen avenue, but would withdraw the charge concerning "HI 1 Cresheim road. Mr. Harr immediately requested a transcript of the testimony. Wit ih'ssps had been summoned to nppenr before the grand jury this morning and in court tills afternoon. Mr. Harr went before the grand jury witli the cn-c immedlutely, nnd n true Mil was returned. Without delijy the cusp wus taken Into criminal court. The coiiiiiionwculth had brought n largo ami) ol witnesses, who were not called. The boy saw muny familiar faces in the courtroom, however, and spent most of his time nodding nnd smiling to those he knew . When comt wus convened the dis trict attoriiP) i pad this formal Ipttpr: "The disttlct attorupy suggests to the court the question of the sanity of the prisoner at the bar, Caldwell Matthews, bused upon the request of alienists ap pointed b) him ; and further suggests that a trial by jur.i Iip had. according to law. to determine the qucstion'of the sauit) or iusanlt) of the said Caldwell Matthews at the present time." A letter then was read from Dr. MilN, deuti of American nllenists. who examined the ho) Friday and )cstcrda). The phjsleian wroto lie had found the bo) ph.islcall) and nientnll) defective uud in no condition to plead to a charge of arson." The doctor ndded lie did not think the ho) should be tried.
