Breaks Away From Old Associates and Searches for Work. QUEST WAS IN VAIN Reputation Was Against Him and Honesty of His Intentions Questioned. After trying to break' away from old associates and environments, only to flhd that no one offered a helping hand, Frank Mellon, 31 years old, of gooJ family but homeless, became discouraged and leaped Into Chester river last evening-. The almost fatal lamp was made from the Third street bridge at 6.30 o'clock.

He was pullea from the river by Jay Levitt, a moulder at the Penn Steer Casting Works, who was assisted several men near the river's edge. The police arc earing for him and when he recovers; City Clerk Charles B. Mould has promised to secure a position for him. Mellon Is sincere in his endeavors to break away from the oIJ life, take up some honest labor and, earn a decent living. Chief of Police John Vance and several of the of his department have interested themselves In Mellon.

For'two flays he has been searching the city for and in his own words he finds, "I have been a bum so long that no one will put any dependence In kept away from his old associates and has not been drinking' for several daya. Becoming discouraged by the rebuffs he had received. Mellon drifted toward Third street bridge. The water in its stillness was inviting; it offered and a mode of escape from the heart-, lessriess of the world. Climbing to the railing, Mellon deliberately leaped Into -the river in full view of pedestrians who happened to be on the street.

He was saved by Levitt and some of the other men' and City Clerk Mould, who knew Mellon when he was a boy, asked the unfortunate, to. accompany him. Mellon willingly went with Mr. Mould to the City Hall, where he was given dry clothing by Sergeant- Sill. He was detained.

This morning Meltfm was summoned to the office of the Chief of Police and before him and Magistrate M. P. Elliott and City Clerk Mould he agreed to a. -plan proposed by Chief Vance.

CITY IS GROWING Population Increases 5,000 and Prc perty.Extends Over Greater Area. The Qirestion of additional police for this city Is again being revived ant the demand for augmenting: the present inadequate force in this city grows daily. Chester has grown within the past few years ana has developed many population, a. larger number ot dwellings and other bulldines, and a. greater floating population.

All tlieso things magnify the ursrent demand for better police protection, which con be provided only bv additional patrolmen, mounted policemen a motor- wle sauad. Many of the Councllmen. of Chester are in favor of increasing police force and are of tlio opinion that tills could be done at this time without a drain on the municipality's resources- Then. too. the police department will surely be accorded a certain portion of the increased revenue which will he received from triennial assessment recently completed.

The increase In the police force in the past twelve years has been inconsistent wits, the growth of the city. patrolman has been added to the department and the city has increased 5,000 persons in resident population. There Is also additional territory, which has been developed in the last dozen years that must be protected. Mayor William Wardi and Chief of Police John Vance, as well many citizens, are In favor of an increased Both the mayor and the chief voiced their reasons for auK- meutlng the present public safety department through these columns a few weeks aeo.

This ro- solution was presented in Common Council at the meeting of October One "Cop" in 12 Years Councilman Edwin G. Roder. of the Third ward, has long been in favor of more policemen for Chester and believes that this growing municipality should be abio to afford more than one patrolman in twelve years.

Five year old Nellie Rlmnodk a child, died In the Crozer ycs- terdayi afternoon. The child was horribly burned as a result of-her clothing being ignited by, spark from a bonflro about which, she'and several'companions were playing near JTront and Thurlow street, yesterday afternoon.

She was hurriedly conveyed to 'the hospital but died soon after tho arrival. Heroic efforts were made by Boushelle, a brakeman in the employ of the Philadelphia Beading Railroad, and a Polish woman named Cur- roko, to save the child, they risking their own lives while beating out the flames which enveloped the girl Both were slightly Burned about the hands. It was the nook hour, that the JUmnock girl, with several playmates, was attracted to; a bun-fire built by several boys on a lot. near and Thurlow streets. JJittle Nellie got too.

close to the tire and in an instant her flimsy dress was in (lames. S-creaming with terror, she. frantically tried to beat out the names and her playmates, greatly, frightened, ran from the place; leaving her to -her fate. Bouchelle, who was standing on the Reading railroad siding near the South Chester Tube Work's, a short distance away, heard the girl's screams and seeing her in flames ran with "all speed to where she stood. Unmindful of danger to himself, Bouchelle wrapped his coat about the child and succeeded 111 smothering the flames, being assisted by the Polish woman.

Curroka. Tenderly carrying the child to tho railroad freight office, Bouchelle telephoned for the ambulance, which made a quick run to the place, and It was not long before the child receiving the best of attention from physicians and nurses-at the Crozer Hospital. Their efforts were unavailing, however, anci the, little victim, lapsing into unconsciousness, passed away about o'clock last Deputy Coroner B. P. White was and had the- body of the removed to the morgue.

The Delaware County Business Men's Association comprising: business and professional men of Colllngdale, Colwyn, Crum Lynne, Darby, Eddystone, Bssinffton, Glenolden, Media, Morton, Norwood, Primes, Ridley Park, Sharon Hill and 'Swarthmore, held-a largely atlendtd meeting: evening 1 in the fire! house at, Moocels. Addresses were made" on the advantages of the by several prominent members, arid considerable business of a routine nature was transacted.

The association, in order to better keep before the public, Was determined to issue a monthly bulletin, the number of which has is tastefully gotten up, and contains much of interest. Relief-Association Meets. A largely attended regular meeting of the Relief: Association was held last the house of the MqyamensinK 1 Hook and Ladder Company. The session was brief, only matters of a strictly routine nature comlnpr up for consideration. On adjournment it was decided to hold tlKj' next meeting at the Good, firo house.

Engagement Announced. The announcement Is rnado of the cngastoment of Miss! Alice numforld, forim-rV of Enflt Third street, hut now of Elizabeth, N. to Arthur Gentlicr, prominent business man of that place The It is understood In to taita place on Thanksgiving LEGISLATORS FAVOR SPROUL ROAD BILL Canvass of Members Indicates That Measure Will Bo Finally Passed At Next Legislative Session. A canvass of the results of the recent election of members of the Stato Legislature Justifies the "announceknent that the newly elected Senators and Representatives are almost without exception favorable to the proposed amendment to the constitution to peiS mit the State to issue bonds up to $50,000,000 for building good roads. The Legislature of 1911 passed this -amendment without a dissenting vote, and if It goes through the 1913 Legislature It will be submitted to the people for their final approval next year.

The attempt to make It appear that the bond issue will increase the tax burdens on farms and other real estate has fallen flat because tho public knows real estate pays no State tax in Pennsylvania. The bulk ot the State revenue ia derived from corporations, the remainder.coming from bonds, mortgages, licenses, automobiles, etc. A circular urging people to vota against the bond issue in 'the recent election was issued not long ago by someone who did, not' even know thai the people could not vote on itjintll. it had paaged another With equal lack of knowledge the circular alleged that there -was such thing as a road, that would with stand the wear of automobile traffic, whereas the fact is that the experimental work of the State Highway Department has established eev- eral methods by which the wear anc tear of automobile traffic Is reduced to a minimum. of these test roads extending- five miles north from Harrisburg, is pronounced virtually In destructible.

It is well known that the, deterioration of State roads constructed In tha past has been due to the fact that they were given over to the townships to keep in repair and no repairs were made. The fate of those fine roads is considered tlie best argument against the suggestion that the State should give all its road money to the township supervisors Under the new highway law the State owns the main roads and wl keep them in repair: As only the sur face is affected by wear the of maintenance Is simple comparatively Inexpensive on a road that has a proper foundation. The first cost of such roads as the Stale is now building is- heavy, because II Includes a foundation that will Jasb for centuries if the top dressing Is talc- en ca.re of. It is Incorrect to say the $50,000,000 loan proposition -will cost $2,600,000 a'year interest, Tiscauso the bonds will be Issued only'as the, money Is needed and the earlier issues will be retired before the last of the $50,000,000 will be needed, so that never more than a fraction of tho total issue will be' bearing interest at OIM 'But even $2,500,000 a'year, If expended direct for roads, would provide leas than $50 a mile for the highways of the State, and good cost to $20,000 a mile to build Instead of the routes for the main highways having-" been selected by a favored few, they were laid out In every district by the legislators from that district, who best knew the needs of their home communities. and these routea were then enacted Into law by the unanimous vote of the members of tho Legislature of 1911.

There are 8,000 miles of these main highways. They radiate from every county scat. The State Is to build and maintain these roads perpetually and without a dollar of tax on farms or other real estate. Corporations and owners of mortgages and automobiles are to pay the bill. Automobiles already are contributing 1 $600.000 a year to the State funds for road purposes.

The farmers and local communities are now relieved of the burden of keeping up thesn main highways and there is that much more money: for the township roads. CARRIAGE SMASHED IN-RUNAWAY Occupants Are Thrown Out and Narrowly Escape Death. As a result of a thrilllnjj runaway on Morton avenue, above after six o'clock last evening, two men narrowly escaped: death and a carriage was badly damaged.

A few moments later a. carriage containing- Paul: Farnan. milk dealer residing in southernv.end of the city, nnd his friend, William Spawl, turned the corner Tenth street. The horse this juncture became frightened and started on a wild dasn down the avenue, the carriage crashing into-the moving- van with great violence, the Impact hurling- Messrs.
