THE EVENING WORLD, THURSDAY, JANUARY 23, 1918. CHARGE THAT MOTHER KIDNAPPED TEACHER |S TO GO TO GRAND JURY Haverstraw Case Takes New Turn When Miss Cells’s Par- ent and Cousin Are Arraigned. Jan, %.—Village the failure of expected developments before Juatice Myers in last week's sensational kidnapping of Miss Iva M. Celis, | pretty young school teacher, by her mother, Mra. Alfretta Cells, and her cousin, Mrs. Byron Polhemus. Miss Celis herself was not present @t the arvaignment before the Justice of the two women on the charge of uidnapping, preferred by Nelson Rose, the school trustee of Haverstraw, with whom whe had been boarding and from whose home Mrs, Celle and Mrs. Pol- hemus took her by force. Bhe oe eup- posed to be still at her mother's home in Nyack. Though Rose waa on hand with sev- eral witnesses, who were ready to deny insinuations concerning the moral sur- roundings of Miss Cells while as & boarder in the Rose home, Georgo A. Wyre of Nyack, counsel for the two accused women, stopped all further court proceedings by volunteering to file bonds guaranteeing hia cients’ ap- pearance before the Grand Jury, when it meets early next month. Justice Myers accepted the bonds and held the ‘women without further procedure. Miss Colla, » tencher in Public Bchoo! a son of Nelson Rose, fe is now living in South Da- kota and from whom he is seeking to obtain @ divorce, was a member of the Rose household. Gossip linked young Rose's name with that of the achool teacher, and Mrs. Cells, resenting this, visited the schoo) Friday and forcibly compelled he jahter to re- turn with her to Nya —— THREATS SCARE WITNESS, He Fails to Identity the Prisoner tn Larceny Case.

He finally admitted he “had received letters J about the cane.” — PRENDERGAST’S OBJECTIONS HALT FILTRATION AWARDS. Bids for Work on Plant Opened —May Cost Nearly $30,000,000. ‘The bids for the $4,000,000 filtration plant designed by Commissioner Thompson were opened to-day, but, ac- cording to an understanding with Comptroller Prendergast, no award of the contract is to be made until the Comptroller's objections have been dis- posed of. The Comptroiler believes that there are certain engineering problems to be overcome before the huge filtration plant as planned by the Commissioner can be made practical. Engineer Withington of the Finance Department has report- @@ against the plan, declaring that the enterprise will cost the city in the end nearer $20,000,000 than $4,000,000. Great and powerful pumping stations will have to be bullt, he says, to bring the water to the high level required. No provision was made for these stations, an it was represented to the Commissioner by his own engineers that they were not necessary. The Comp- troller will make the Board of Eattm: POSES AS COAL MAN, COLLECTS $6, BUT IS HELD Hungry Man’s Clever Ruse to Get a Meal Is Foiled, but He'll Get to Eat in the Tombs. Frederick Frick, fifty-three years old, ® Inbor wt of work, was walking though Essex street, to-day, pondering on the possibility of a meal. There was nothing In sight but a coal wagon the contents 6f which had been nearly emptied. Frick walked past the wagon with @ sigh, to think that some people could buy coal, when he could not buy a meal. And then an idea struck him, He walked to the back door of the house where the coal was being deliv- ered. The coal man was In front. In response to Frick’s knook, a woman answered. “Six dollara for the coal, i. Frick. “Here it is," said the woman as she janded him the money. Frick scratched a receipt and hurried away. No sooner had the door closed than Harry J, Fitegeraid, employed by Rurns Brothers, coal dealers, to de- liver one ton of coal to No. 4 Knsex street, where Frick had done the col- lecting, called to collect for the coal. A hasty argument with the receiver of the coal followed, and then Fitageraid hot-footed it down the street after the peuedo coal collector. * He caught Frick just as he was entering @ restaurant and accompanied him to the Tombs Police Court, where a charge of lar- ceny was made. Ho was sent to the Tombs to awalt trial. ——_——=>_— Census Bureau Cott WASHINGTON, Jan, 23. to Jan. 16 amounted to 13, including 78,892 round bales and 70, bates of seu island, the Census Bure. announced to-day, madam," Friday and Saturday Will Be SOUVENIR DAYS At All our stores throughout the United States and Canada.
