Woman Hurls Shoe At "Pants" Burglar Elusive Thief Dodges, However, And Escapes With $11 From Trousers, Pocketbooks The elusive "pants burglar" paid a visit to the home of Edward Stricker, at 2635 Wilkens avenue, early today, awakened the man's two daughters with the rays of a flashlight and a demand for money, and then escaped with a total of about $11 from a pair of trousers and three pocketbooks. Before he finally escaped, however, he dodged a shoe hurled at him by one of the women. Miss Bernadette Stricker, 21, and her sister, Marie, 22, were asleep on the second floor when the former was awakened by a light shining in her face. She saw an intruder rifling the bureau drawer.

He demanded to know where the money was and this awakened Marie. Fearing that the man would resort to violence, Marie got out of bed, went over to the drawer and banded him a pocketbook containing about $8. With that the burglar backed toward the door leading downstairs and disappeared into the darkness. While Marie went into her father's bedroom to arouse him. Bernadette, attired in her nightclothing, grabbed up one of her slippers and followed.

She reached the bottom of the steps in time to see the man feeling out of the kitchen door. She hurled the shoe at him, but it failed to reach its mark. 12 Residents Of City Will Be Deported Eleven Scandinavians And Chinese Taken From Baltimore To Ellis Island Eleven Scandinavians and a Chinese, said to have been undesirable residents of Baltimore, left the city today in the custody of immigration officials for York.

Frederick, who was retired, FLAXMAN OFRACE FOR IN SHOOTING 3 HOPKINS MEN Trio Wounded As Graduate Student Fires Air Revolver GOVERNING BOARD LEARNS OF ATTACK Said To Have Been Made After Group Threw Snowballs The possibility of a Student Council investigation into the shooting of three undergraduates of the Johns Hopkins University Monday night by a graduate student who fired at the trio with an air revolver appeared likely today as the News-Letter, an undergraduate publication, printed an account of the affair. One of the students who was hit by one of the heavy air slugs is Robert G. Shirley. The other two are J. C.

Bryson, of Girardsville, and Harold B. Yudkin, of Connecticut. Young Bryson was struck, it was said, in the leg and nose, one shot narrowly missing his eye. None of those struck was seriously hurt and all three attended their classes. Research Worker Beaten The revolver was fired by a graduate student in the Chemistry School, who, however, said today that he had fired only after a group of annoying students threw two snowballs at his window.

One of the missiles, he said, shattered the window and he was cut on the forehead by flying glass. With the student at the time was a research worker in the chemistry department. The latter, who is said to have held the air slugs for the graduate student as he handled the gun, was later pounced on by some of the students and beaten with paddles. Investigation Foreseen A member of the Student Council said today that the shooting had been brought to the body's attention and that there had been some discussion on the point. Francis Warlow, president of the council, said, however, that he "knew nothing of the affair." It was believed on the campus that the version of the affair printed by the News-Letter probably would result in an investigation.

Dozen Windows Broken According to the story printed in the campus paper, a number of undergraduates surrounded the Memorial Hall Dormitory at Homewood during the snowstorm and decided to throw snowballs through all the open windows. A later count of the windows revealed, the publication said, that more than a dozen panes were broken. When the first snowball entered the room of the graduate student he and his companion, the research worker, went to the window. Another ball then sailed up, it was said, and shattered the pane. Obtaining the air revolver, the student fired a volley of shots toward the others from his third-story window.

Fears Second Attack Immediately those below ran into the dormitory and attempted to capture the pair. The graduate student escaped, but the research worker was not so fortunate. Students "jumped him," it was said, and broke two paddies in beating him. Today the research worker was in his room at the dormitory. He said that he was still afraid of being attacked and that he had been threatened by the students.

He said that after the affair Monday evening the students had returned again Tuesday and had again attempted to capture him and his friend. Democratic Club Formed The Northwestern Democratic Club, composed of residents of the Fifth Legislative District, was formed recently with headquarters at Bateman avenue. The club elected Harry E. Weinberg president and indorsed the candidacy of Louis J. Sagner for City Councilman from the Fifth District.

Flaxman, Republican candidate for a seat in the City Council from the Fifth district, is the first of the nearly 150 Councilmanic candidates to withdraw. He drew out his slip today and was given back his $25 filing fee. At the office of the Board of Supervisors of Elections it is expected that there will be many more withdrawals before noon tomorrow, the time limit for getting the refund on the entrance fee. Conferences are scheduled for tonight at which organization leaders of both parties are to survey the district lists and decide whom they will support.

Many of those failing to get the nod of approval from the leaders are expected to withdraw, because it is believed the organization slate will probably win in all districts. Norris In To Stay Efforts to bring about the withdrawal of William I. Norris to clear the way for Howard W. Jackson, who is seeking the Democratic Mayoralty nomination, are reported to be in prospect. But, according to Mr.

Norris today, such efforts will be futile. He repeated an outline of activities planned for the that he is in the fight to stay a and gave week-end in furtherance of his desire to head the Democratic ticket. He has five engagements for this ning, most of them to meet people at neighborhood social affairs. His platform, which will pledge a hundred cents of service for every tax dollar, is being completed for publication next week To Print Ballots Monday Mr. Jackson also has a number of gatherings to attend this evening and also is completing a platform.

Organization backing is coming to the support of Mr. Jackson. Mr. Harry Laib, secretary of the election board, announced that the printing of the primary ballots would start on Monday, that those wishing to get out of the contest must withdraw by tomorrow at noon to be sure of having their names taken off the bal- lot. Leaders To Hold Parley At conferences of leaders of both political parties, scheduled for the immediate future, further efforts are to be made to eliminate primary contests and to crystallize support behind those that will be favored by the organization.

Republican organization men are endeavoring to persuade Walter G. Hammond to step out of the Republican Mayoralty contest to clear the way 1 for Councilman William G. Albrecht. But Mr. Hammond already has turned a deaf ear to such overtures, notwithstanding the claims being made that Albrecht has already been promised the support of twenty-three of the twenty-eight Republican ward executives, including Edward G.

Hargest, chairman of the Republican City Committee. Mr. Hammond has told all emissaries from the rival camp that he is in the fight to stay and that he does not intend to turn away from the hundreds of friends and supporters who urged him to seek the nomination. Council Race Considered District and city-wide leaders in the Democratic party are giving their attention to decisions as to which of the long list of council aspirants should be given organization support.

Weeks in his nearly posteasonal review. The Baltimore Weather Man pooh-poohed the closing season's snowfall and rainfall effects for being below the average standard and gibed at its temperatures for being almost three degrees above the average standard. "In short," he said. "it has not been much of a winter for the old-fashlioned folk who like- -well, who tell And There Old Joseph Is Found By Welfare Agent -Wife With Neighbors MAN, SON, BOTH LOST JOBS $300,000 More Needed For Relief Fund To Care For Such Cases Dreary rain slanted down on a miscellaneous collection of household effects which lay sprawled in the gutter and over the sidewalk. It was precious little to most people, but to old Joseph it was the accumulation of nearly fifty years of married life.

Therefore, the pathetic assortment of furniture, such as it was, must be guarded and for purpose old Joseph wrapped himself in tattered quilts and kept a long vigil in a battered rocking chair. Wife With Neighbors It was not, certainly, an enviable position, but old Joseph, a victim of many of life's vicissitudes, found something to be happy about. That something he was grateful for was the fact that his wife had been taken in by neighbors. Something, his experience told him, was bound to turn up, and something did. A representative of one of the city's charity agencies discovered the old man and after a speedy investigation found him to be worthy of aid.

Had Worked Regularly Although old, Joseph had worked regularly. And his son, "a good boy," had worked regularly too. With the wages of both to support the family of WAIF LEFT IN WAKE OF PUT -RUN DRIVER Family, Awakened By Shower Of Pebbles, Finds Baby On Porch A put-and-run driver early today put a baby on the front porch of Mrs. Emma Berger's home and ran. Mrs.

Berger and the other members of her household, at Joppa on the Philadelphia road, were aroused shortly after midnight by the clatter of rocks rolling across the front porch. As lights went in the house an automobile whirled up away toward Philadelphia. Some one ran to a window to see what kind of car it was, but the machine then was too far away to be distinguished. The men folk in the house decided that they had better go downstairs and see what all the racket had been about -and to see, too, whether the rocks that had been thrown up on the porch had done any damage. Covered With Army Blanket The women came down the stairs a little distance behind the men.

As the front door was opened and a puddle of light spilled out on the porch it disclosed, besides half a dozen rocks, a big wicker clothes basket almost covered by a khaki army blanket. One of the men stepped up and pulled the blanket back a little way. "It's a baby--by gosh!" he announced. There was a furry of sharp little exclamations from the women and excited orders to get the infant indoors as soon as possible. Indoors someone said: "It's a boy He appeared to be about three or four weeks old and was very busy with a milk bottle that he had been considerately provided with by whoever abandoned him.

His strange surroundings and the strangers grouped about him didn't disturb his composure in the least, Mrs. Berger said. The child didn't even cry. Extra Clothing Provided He was put to bed and a call was made for Sheriff Reese Bowman, who came down several hours later from Belair. The Sheriff looked the situation over thoroughly.

He found that the baby was a perfectly normal speciwell dressed, and that sevmen, pretty eral changes of clothing had been left in the basket with it. It was the guess of the Sheriff, and of Mrs. Berger too, that whoever abandoned the child threw the rocks on the porch to attract the attention of the occupants of the house. Mrs. Berger said she guessed she'd keep the boy unless the owner calls for and identifies him, which she thinks is not likely.

Then people started to talk about depression and unemployment and to the utter confusion of father and son both lost their jobs. Luckily there were savings for rainy days and these sums they spent wisely. Nevertheless, despite the pawning of clothes and odd pieces of furniture, every red cent vanished.

Son Wanders Off Looking, ever looking for work "got" the boy, and he wandered off, some day to return, Joseph hopes. And Joseph himself continued his watchful waiting until the very last--the eviction. Now, of course, he is being cared for through the charity agency. To the agency, in this time of exceptional distress, old Joseph can be no more than just another case. In fact, unless the $300,000 appeal of the Citizens' Emergency Relief Fund is more of a success, Joseph will be nothing at all.

J. Haines Co. building at 33-35 Hopkins Place badly damaged a quantity, of stored household furnishings and snarled automobile and street car traffic this morning. Because of the inflammable material stored in the structure firemen sounded three alarms.

At the time of the blaze no employe was on either the fifth or sixth floor. Approximately a dozen girl office workers were on the lower floors, and these immediately began putting away valuable records in the safes. They were not forced to leave the building, although several of them went to the street to watch firemen fight the blaze. Heat Sets Off Alarm The fire started in the front of the fifth floor, used for storing household furnishings, and swept back toward the rear of the place. The heat of the flames caused an automatic alarm to sound.

By the time firemen arrived dense smoke was pouring from the fifth-story windows. Towers were erected, the windows were smashed and several big streams of water were directed on the blaze. Deputy Chief John Kahl sounded a second and a third alarm to preclude any possibility of the fire getting out of control. During the height of the excitement four hose lines burst and drenched onlookers and the interiors of many parked automobiles. The machines also were covered with broken glass from the windows the firemen had smashed.

Large Crowd Gathers Although the blaze was quickly put under control, a large crowd of office workers and pedestrians gathered at the scene. They crowded on the ment across the street from the building at first, but two mounted policemen, riding their horses on the sidewalk, dispersed them. Two men employed by the Haines Company had been on the fifth and sixth floors of the building shortly before the blaze started, it was said, but these had descended before even the automatic alarm went off. Firemen were able to confine the fire to the front part of the floor. Friday 8 Saturday Only! Two-pound Pkg.

Rogers and Mrs, Jules E. Smucker, The Evening Sun Annapolis, March 20-The first point of attack in the Legislature on the $59,000,000 loan proposals of the Baltimore municipal administration, it became apparent here today, will be that calling for $2,500,000 for the further installation of water meters in the city. After that the conduit loan of $1,500,000 and the Lexington Market loan of $2,500,000 are likely to come in for heavy assaults from the city members of the Senate and the House of Delegates, according to reports prevalent today, but these will be only secondary to the fight being planned against passage of the water meter loan. Bouse Leads Fight State Senator John H. Bouse, of the First Baltimore district, took the lead in the fight against that measure.

He announced today that his stand against it is final and that he will seek to win the other city Senators over to that view. At the time he made the announcement it was indicated that only five of the six Senators from the city will prepare the reports on the loan measures to be submitted to the Senate as whole, and which if the usual course in such cases is followed will determine the action of the upper chamber. Senator Thurman C. Atkinson, of the Fifth Baltimore district, who has been ill for some time, has been sent to St. Agnes' Hospital for an operation and his return to the State House in time to take part in the discussions on the loan proposals was regarded as unlikely.

Sees No Need For Meters "Of course, before we act on these bills we are almost certain to hear from experts that the city needs this and the city needs that in regard to the water meters and other parts of loans bills," Senator Bouse said. "I think, though, that it will be found that they mean the city will need them in thirty- five or forty years. I am convinced that the present generation is heavily enough burdened and I am opposed to the loan for water meters." Senator Bouse is chairman of the city Senators, He said that it is likely that group will begin hearings early next week on the loan bills submitted by the Broening administration Mayor William F. Broening is to discuss the bills from the viewpoint of the administration at a dinner the city government is giving for the members of the Legislature tonight at the Lord Baltimore Hotel. School Bill Safe Included in the seven loan measures sent here by the municipal government, and totaling $50,000,000, are bills providing for a $27,500,000 issuance of On Page 36, Column RADIO SALE CLAY ST.
