BAB

RUTH
AS AUTO SPEEDER
Home-Run King in "Hoosgow'
for Day and Plastered
With $100 Fine
HIS FINGERPRINTS . TAKEN
By tlio Associated rrcss
New York, June 8. Babo Ruth.
home-run kins of the New York Amer
lean Lcaguo baseball team, today was
sentenced to one day In the city prison
anu lined $iuu in magistrate's court tor
automobile, sneedlng.
It was Ruth's second appearance In
court hero within the last few weeks on
charges of speeding. At his first trial,
when he escaped with n nominal fine,
he, promised, to be good and observo the
laws. Six daya ago, however, he was
caught speeding on Rlvcrsldo Drive and
arrested.
Babo Loses Temper
Babe lost some of 4ils famous sunny!
disposition when he henrd Magistrate
House pronounce the jail sentence. He
had como to court prepared to pay a
heavy fine and had peeled off a $100
bill from a roll to close the financial
end of his sentence
Then lie waa led from the courtroom
by u keeper to begin serving his time.
Officially his day in jail ends at 4
o'clock this afternoon.
Asked If he expected to play today
against Cleveland, the worried ball
player replied:
"How can I?"
Then, after reflecting for a moment,
he brightened up nnd snid :
"Well, I may play half of the game."
Babo plainly was disgusted with the
world In general and courts In partic
ular when he was taken to a small
ante-room, near the court, which
served ah bis "cell." Ho grunted
answers to the customary questions
asked by tbe police officers and sub
mitted to finger printing with bad
grace.
The formality In such cases over, he
sat down and tried to rend a news
paper. The sporting page didn't in
terest him nt nil. Finally he crumpled
the paper and throw it on the floor.
Then he surveyed other unfortunates,
including some truck drivers, sentenced
to jail.
Friends Missing
After a while ho asked permission to
telephone to some of his friends to see
what could be done about obtaining his
release. He could not reach them, and
he displayed more bad temper.
Even smoking did not interest him.
He spent a good deal of the time look
ing nt his watch nnd figuring how hoon
4 o'clock would como around. Occa
sionally he gazed out of a window ut
the sky and remarked that It was a
good day for tho game.
In sentencing Ruth tho Magistrate
said :
"I've been sending mnny chauffeurs
to jail for from five to fiftceen days as
well as fining them. I realize some
chauffeurs are earning about $25 or $30
a week and have families dependent on
their support. Therefore, It does not
eom fair to allow prominent merchant
or society men or nn outstanding figure
In the sporting world ns you arc to
come Into the court mid be given a
small fine nnd go away. ,

OLD TRICK WORKS AGAIN
Man
Swindled Out of $100
by
"Handkerchief Game"
David Cinden, 117(1 Leldy avenue,
complained to the police of the Tciim
and Buttonwond streets station that
he had been swindled out of $100, his
watch and a diamond ring by a pair of
confidence men who worked the old
"handkerchief trick" on him.
Ciodcn said a man hnd engaged him
in conversation and had been joined
by n second, who offered to let them
in on u big money-making scheme.
(Joden put up $100, his watch and
ring, and ono of the strangers, after
putting n thick wad of bills Into u
handkerchief with Goden's cash and
jewelry, said he would go to the bank
to get somo more money and would let
Godcn ho'd the handkerchief until he
returned ns n guarantee of good faith.
When tho victim tired of waiting for
tlio xhnrpcrH to return he looked in Hi'

OF CHILD'S "JOKE"
Man Goes Down Before Moth
er's Eyes in Schuylkill When
Boy Yells for "Help"
BODY IS RECOVERED
Felix Kenkkun. twenty-four years
old, 3 Rudolph row. West Manayunk,
was drowned while his mother watched
from a distance, not knowing It wns
her son, when ho jumped into tho
Schuylkill to save a boy he thought was
going down.
Kenzkun ran to the river bonk nnd
jumped in in spite of tlie fact he did
not Know now to swim. Tho boy he
gave his life to save, the little son of
a neighbor, had called for help as a
joke, tho police say, nnd paddled out
of tho water as tho victim dived in
nenumng.
Kcnukun was standing at tho door of
hl! dwelling, near tho river, at 11
o'clock. His mother. Mrs. Sarah Kenz
kun. was at work across tho river, in
Adams Mill, near the Manayunk
Bridge. She was standing near her
loom, on tbo fourth floor, and gazing
out mo winaow.
Hears Child's Shriek
The young man heard. u thin, childish
volco shrieking for help from the river.
"Help, help, I'm drowning." came the
voice, "save me. tave me."
Kenzkun could not swim, though he
had lived most of his life so near the
river that when the floods of spring
came they flowed over his doorstep nqw
nnd then. But he hud plenty of cour
age. He rait" to tho river bank, taking off
hlsjilothca as he ran. He dived head
long Into deep water, as he did so u
neighbor's boy paddled out of the shal
lows and regained the bank. It waR
he, according to the police, who had
shrieked for help.
Mother Horrified
Kenzkun'a mother was a horrified
witness of what wus taking place from
her window high above tho river on the
opposite bunk of tho stream. The dis
tance was too great to see that it was
iter son. All she could sec, and the
others who gathered with her at the
windows, horritlcd, wns that a young
man was struggling for his life in the
water and going down time after time.
Spectators on the Manayunk bridge
nlfco witnessed Kcnzkun's death htrug
gle. They were powerless to aid him.
His head finally disappeared for the
last time. S
At that moment some one ran up to
tho mill and told Mrs. Kenzkun it wns
her ton. The mother hurried ucros the
brldgo and began to weep nt the river
bank, pacing up and down anil watching
vainly for the body to reappear.
Sergeant Robertson and Patrolmaii
Di Bowa, of the Lower Merlon force,
recovered tho body aftcr an hour's
search.

After n police surgeon's report hnd

effect Howard was not under the in
fluence of liquor and after two women
had testified the truck was moving nt
a moderate-rato of speed, Howard was
nllowcd to sign his own bond for u

Carney left tho Sixty-flrit and
Thompson streets station after declaring
tho hearing had been a "whitewash."
lie said he would take further action
against Howard, no matter what dis
position was made of tho case by Mae
istrate Price.
Carney, the first witness, swore the
truck wns speeding and that it nar
rowly missed striking a number of chil
dren. He said Howard scarcely was
able to stand or talk when he arrested
him.
Magistrate Price then nnnounced he
would read the report of Dr. Charles
H. J. Harnett, 4810 Fnirmount nvenue.
who examined Howatd last night.
Carney asserted there was no need
to read tho report. I In asked why Dr.

"Who are you prosecuting, the de
fendant or the prosecutor?" asked Car

"Magistrate Carney, keep quiet. You
must be orderly or I will have you put

"You must havo bomo interest in the
case to be talking that way," Carney
continued.
"For the third and last time, keep
quiet," ordered Price.
The presiding Magistrate then read
the report which declared Howard was
not under the influence of liquor.
"Why tho defendant was drunk and
I havo witnesses to prove it," Carney
persisted.
Carney Corroborated
Einnr Barford, 1033 North Thirty
second street, wns called us a witness.
Ho was with Carney wheu the arrest
was made. Harford corroborated Car

under tho influence of liquor.

run over nnd probably fatally injured
by a Sixth street trolley car at 11:30
o'clock this morning and taken to the
Pennsylvania Hospital, where his seven-
year-old sister, Lillian, was being
treated for burns.
Mrs. Anna Fisher, mother of the
boi, was sitting in the dispensury con
soling her daughter, and saw the
stretcher bearing her son carried
through the gate. She was unaware
that the boy on the stretcher was her
own son and murmured a prayer of
sympathy for the sufferer.
it wns not until she reached her
home nt 3410 South Reese street that
Mrs. Fisher learned of the necident to
Hyman. Leaving her daughter in care
of a neighbor, she hastened bnck to the
hospital, and is keeping a constant vigil
by the boy's beside.

Sixth street. He crossed the street
near Spruce. Persons on the sidewalk
shouted. The motormau clanged the
bell and made every effort to stop tin
ear. His efforts were unavailing, how
ever, and the front wheels pinned the
child to tho track before the car oouiil
be stopped.
It was necessary to use jacks to raise
tho car. The boy's left arm was
crushed almost to the shoulder.
Bravo Despite Pain
Physicians say the boy is one of the
pluckiest patients ever brought there.
His norv.ous system was benumbed b
tho shock. "I'm not hurst so bad,'-'
he said, "I'm all right." A few ino
ments later lie became unconscious.
John Rothenberg, a passenger on the
car which ran the boy down, collapsed
after seeing the necident. He was also
taken to the hospital for treatment.
