Ssl 8 ; f' THE EVENING
WORLD, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1922.
Stcfc Jfaw, Om of JForA:,
W7ns "Ford o Day" Prize
Nicholas J. Bolger, Whose
Kitchen Is Bare, Can Now
Get Some Joy Out of Life.
Mrs. Mary Bolter answered the
knock of nn Evening World reporter
to-dny nt the door of her homo at No.
Bt West 20th Street, Garonne, N. J.,
and limited a welcome at him.
Nicholas J. UoIkct, her husband,
was not at homo; he was somewhere
In Jersey City trimming a privet
hedge; no, ho would not be home be
fore dinner; would the young man
mind saying what he wanted with
Mr. Bolger?
"Well," began the reporter, "Mr
Bolger won a Ford car as a prize for
his contribution on The Evening
World's "What Did You Bee To
day?" puso, and .
"Ohl" exclaimed Mrs. Bolger
"Ohl" She put a hand over her
heart and for a moment seemed too
moved to spea). Then she smiled
again. "Oh, but Nlck'll bo -glad to
hear It!" she exclaimed when she got
back her powers of speech.
"It'll be such a fine surprise for
html lie didn't expect such good
luck when he wrote the piece. He
Just hoped to win a little prize. It's
Bne, fine!"
Again Mrs. Bolger seemed unnble
to speak. Neither, for that matter,
could the reporter, who gazed for a
moment around the bare kitchen of
the little house In which tho Bolgcrs
live with their four children.
"Sure, It'll make Nick happy,"
said Mrs. Bolger ngaln, after the
pause, ''lie's been sick now for two
yearn and unable to work much and
lately, while he's been looking for
steady work, he s been a gardener.
"He's fifty-soven years old and
we've been married nearly thirty
Tears, and this Is the best luck we've
ever had. Sure, the Ford'll mean a
tot to us."
Here Mrs. Bolger smiled happily.
"It was a good day when iNlck
started reading Tho Evening World
twenty years ago. Just utter landing
In this country," sho said.
"Will I tell htm! about when he
cornea InT sure, I can hardly wait.
I'll be thinking of nothing else till
he gets here!"
And here is tho story which won
for Mr. Bolger the Ford:
A THIEF IN THE NIGHT.
At 2 o'clock In the morning I
-!M
NKHOUM, J. BOUGER
wa. tound asUap and dreaming of
robbers. All of a sudden I was
wide awake. I heard somebody
prowling about on the front
porch, five steps up from the
street. My windows aiways are
wide open at the top, but they
cannot be opened from the out
side. The head of the
bed is at the windows. Hanging
on the bedpost I keep a police
man's club. I reached for the
blub, stepped out of bed, and just
at, t touched the floor saw hand
and forearm reaching ovei the top
of the window. I saw a man's
head and shoulders. A cap was
pulled well down over his head.
(My wife was snoring.) I leaped,
meaning to bring the club down
on the fellow's bean with all my
might, and tripp.d over the ttoel
Mrs. B. place, beside the bed
every night with the alarm clock
on it. Stool, clock and I tumbled all
over the floor with a terrible
noise. I heard the thud of my
burglar, as he dropped from the
window and made of). My wife
woke up complaining about the
nets. I cursed the eloek and I
cursed the stool, but to-day I am
glad It turned out as it did, for If
the old looust had landed there
would have been a dead body on
our front poreh.
THOUSANDS DROWN

Cholera Adds to Horror of
Situation.
CALCUTTA, Oct. 4. Hoods In
Northern Bengal have taken an enor
mous toll of life, according to pusseli
gors on the first train to reach here
from D.irjecllhg In eight days.
H Is Imposnlblo to estimate tho extent
of the disaster. Travellers estimate
that scvcrnl thousand persons have
tccn drowned In the affected nrea
other thousands made homeless and
Jestltutp nnd valuable crops destroyed.
The floods are nald to bo tho worst in
tho hiHtory of Bengal.
Many refugees are living In hovcH
constructed on high land. An out
break of cholera is adding to the diffi
culties of the relief workers.

SUBWAY! CONDUCTOR
FALLS OFF OF TRAIN
Promptitude of a passenger In pulling
the emergency brake cord on u south
bound subway express train In the
Broadway tunnel at 133d Street last
evening probably saved James McCarthy,
thlrty-flvo, conductor of tho train, lrom
being ground to death by another train
after he had fallen to tho tracks from
the one be wns on.
lie was picked up unconscious, with a
possible fracture of the skull and severe
lacerations of the scalp and taken to

fusion It was not learned who had seen
McCarthy fall. Other employees Jumped
to tho tracks and lifted him to the
train.

Night Riders Rode Once Too Often
And Oil, What ;i Span Khifi They Got !
But They Had a Pile of Fun Scaring Homestead Folks
Sheathed in White on Their Dads's Nags.
This should be read nt night Just before bedtime, after a heavy, meal,
In an old houso with a creaking door And a window shade that flaps when
tho wind blows, tho cry of a hoot owl should accompany tho rending.
They have all theso tilings up on the fringe of Homestead, N. J where
tho story comes from, In addition, they have n meadow that Is sunken
nnd a clump of woods that Is dark.
For several nights recently when lt&
was the hour for nil good commuter."
and "renl residents" to retlro there
was noticed moving slowly across the
sunken meadow three horses. Heated
upon each wan n figure wrapped In
white. Slowly tho horses made their
way across tho meadow nnd disap
peared Into tho woods. Soon after,
from the direction they hud been lust
seen, there enme tnc scrcecn or nn
owl.
That was tho signal for timid per
sons to lock tue windows and for
children to lildo their heads under the
covers. Llttlo else was talked of on
the fringe of Homestead. It was
whispered that the Ku Klux was op
erating and that any night might sou
Mime person dragged from bed and
taken, away by the silent horsemen
dressed In white. Every man In
Homestead crossed his heart and
swore there was nothing on him, even
though at times appearances might
hnve been against him, when he came
home after midnight.
Lust night there was a moon nearly
full, nnd hours before the time at
which the horsemen appeared four
residents of Homestead parked them
selves In a clump of woods. Soon
aft:n ten o'clock the three nigh'
riders, clad In white, came across tho
meadow In the moonlight. From
darkened houses tho populace watched
behind shades.
Tho three horsemen entered the
grove of trees. One of them said
"Whoa Gal" whoa and the tired horse
he was riding stopped as ho slid off
her back. The others did tho same.
"flee I'll bet they sure was
frightened to-night. Didn't y'sec
there wasn't a light' anywhere." said
the lender.
And then the four intrepid Investi
gators of Homestead said "Throw up
your hands" nnd tho threo Koo-Koo-Kluckers
dropped their sheets and
declared they didn't have a cent and
didn't mean any harm. They turned
out to l)c George Kcrthasha, fourteen.
Alexander Davis, thirteen, and James
Forte llfteen, sons of truck fanners
In tho neighborhood.
It was their own little PenrodKcho
field Ku Klux. Supposed to be safely
In bed they organized a week ago nnd
then each with a sheet crept from bed
and out to the barn and got a farm
horso that had dono a good day's
work. Then came the parade that
lind excited and thrilled and cau.'P''
apprehension in Homestead.
"Gcc.dad will be mod when ho hears
I had tho old mare out," said ono of
tho boys ns they promised the Investi
gators to quit Ku Kluxlng n that par
ticular neck of the woods.
LORENZ'S SON IN COLUMBIA.
Conrad Iyorcnz, nineteen, son of Dr.
Adolf Lorcnz, ilho Viennese physician,
entered Columbia University as a pro
medical student yesterday. He lives
with his father at tho Murray Hill
Hotel.
The pro-medlcnl course usually takes
four years, but Conrad expects to pass
off these requirements In less time, as
h Is already a linguist and far ahead
of his contemporaries from the medical
atmosphere in which he has lived all hi
life.
