Fourth St. -*« ■ POLICE CAPTURE HUGGER Bryn Mawr Negro Comes to Grief When He Tackles Cop Dressed as Chic Miss Philadelphia, Jan. 8. —As she walked calmly along County Line road, near Penn street, Bryn Mawr, about dusk Wednesday night, an attractively dressed young woman was seized by a negro, who hugged her vigorously. In a twinkling the hugger found him self huigtged. A pair of brawny arms shot from concealment under a spt of jaunty furs, a chic hat tumbled to the roadway, and the decidedly masculine voice of Policeman Patsy Mullen, of the Lower Merion force, was raised in a triumphant shout. "I've got you this time I've got you this time!" A short, stout man, who, the negro might have observed, was walking halt' a block behind the "young lady," came up on a run, jingling a pair of hand cuffs. He was Policeman Beichner. Mullen and Reichner, with the negro safely handcuffed, roared with laugh ter. But the prisoner couldn't see the joke. "Lawdy, missus, I mean mister, this ain't no laughing matter to me," he protested. The prisoner, who gave the name of Reed Johnson, 17 years old, Bryn Mawr, was locked up in the Ardniore station. His capture, the police be lieve, will put a stop to annoyance of young women and girls of Bryn Mawr and Haverford. He admitted, the po lice say, having hugged at least a doz en women near -the corner where the masquerading cop tripped him up. Many complaints have been received aibout, the hugger, and Policemen Mul len and Reichner were detailed to cap ture him. They saw Johnson in the neighborhood and suspected him, but could never catch him at his hugging game. So they decided on the masque rade. Mullen togged himself out in a styl- j ish dress, with fur boa and muff, low | shoes and a hat that came down over I his head, making a wig unnecessary. A j veil helped a little, too. "To make everything ' look just right," said Reichner, "I insisted on powder, so Mrs. Mullen attended to that." As "Miss Dawson," the masquerad ing Mullen was introduced to one of the newer and younger members of the force. "The new cop fell for 'her' strong,'' said Reichner. "I'm going to speak to the chief about that new copper," Mullen volun teered. "I think he was trying to flirt with me.''

Pope Benedict ves terday received over 600 religious men and women, Franciscans, Benedictines, Dominican's, Passionists, Christian •brothers and members of other orders, who have been expelled from Syria and Palestine. They recounted to His Holi ness the details of their experiences but told him there had been no loss of life. The Turks, while they respected the lives of the holy men, occupied all the convents, monasteries and schools held by the religious orders and transformed them into barracks. They gave time, however, to pilo the furniture into tlhe churches anil' permitted the locking up of places which could not be emptied, like libraries which were sealed in the presence of those interested. The English and Russian communi ties, according to the expelled church men. were treated in the same way. The Italian and Spanish consuls did all in their power to assist the members of the religious orders. Weaver-Eslinger Betrothal Announced Mr. and Mrs. H. G.
