NEEDLE PENETRATES
WOMAN'S HAND
When she made a misstep as she
was about to descend a flight of
stairs at her home, No. 510 North
Elm street Tuesday evening, Miss
Margaret Kilcoyne met with an accl
dent in which she was injured in a
peculiar manner and whia'.i caused
her much pain.
Miss Kilcoyne was about to go to
church. As she started Uio descent
of the second story stairs she car-ried
on her wrist a hand bag. In the
bag were two steel knitting needles.
She made a misstep in some manner
and fell the entire distanco to the
ir i lloor. When she struck the
floor she landed on the bag. One of
the needles penetrated the fleshy
portion of the palm of her hand and
broke off.
An effort was made to remove the
piece of steel but without success so
today Miss Kilcoyne went to Chester
hospital where an operation will
jikely he performed for the removal
of the needle point.
While Miss Kilcoyne fell several
feet she suffered no broken bones al-though
she was bruised about the
body.

The first real sign of Spring will
be evidenced to-morrow afternoon
when candidates for the Conshohoc-ken
team in the Montgomery county
llase Rail League will answer the
first call for practice on the grounds
of the Lee Tire and Rubber Com-pany.
There are many aspiring players
in this vicinity and judging from the
enthusiasm being manifested in var-ious
places throughout bot.'i sides of
the river the squad will be surpris-ingly
large.
The candidates are requested to
report not later than 2 o'clock and
Edwin W. Harrison president of the
Association and Chairman of the
Base Ball Committee will be on
hand to extend the hand of welcome
and see that every one is accorded
a fair chance to display his ability.
In order for the local team to
make a Showing in the league it will
be necessary to gather together the
strongest aggregation possible. The
league is composed of teams made
up of the best amateur and semi-professional
players and the Base
Ball Committee is desirous of hav-ing
all the local talent try for posi-tions
on the team. At the present
time there is not a single position
taken and everybody wil be given
the same opportunity of being selec-ted
for a regular berth.
For the position of coach there
will be a number of candidates und
these also will be present at the
practice to-morrow. In addition to
these there will be on hand several
prominent battery men who are anx-ious
to make the team. So it now
looks as though the first call will
mean a great amount of work for the
Base Ball Committee as well as a
couch.
The scthedule has been worked out
nnd the season will open on Satur-day,
May 14. The local team will
open the season at Doylestown. The
home season will be opened one
week later, May 21, when they will
have for their opponents Souder-ton,
who last season won the cham-pionship.
The season will close on
Labor Day, September 5th.
In regards to the holiday assign-ments
Conshohocken will pluy at
home on Memorial Day in the morn-ing
having as their opponents Lans-dale.
In the afternoon they will
play at Chestnut Hill.' On July
Fourth they will play at Doylestown
in the morning returning to their
own grounds in the afternoon for a
game with Doylestown. On Labor
Day the morning game of the locals
will be played at Lanadale. The
closing game of the season will be
played in the afternoon on the home
grounds with Chestnut Hill.

Phipps was arrested on Wednesday
on a warrant sworn oat by Hoeger
and was given a bearing before Mag-istrate
Hairy and held for a further
bearing tins morning.
The car, a l-ord "otipe. was taken
from Penn street near Swede, Nor-ristown.
on Saturday evening, March
5, and was brought to this borough
nnd remained here for a week.
Phipps has made a .statement in
which he claims Hoeger nave him a

told her he was going for Hoeger's
machine and take it to Conshohock-en.
He said he exhibited the key
which bore the number "62".
Phippfl claims he brought the ma-chine
here and rented a stable in
West Dlghth avenue where he stored
the car. After the car Had been r.er
for a few days, lie told ieveril per-sons
about it and said that he ue-sireil
to get rid of th« oar mil among
others, he told his cousin Harvey
Campbell. It was then reported
that Hoeger's car Had tieen stolen.
Campbell, who is employed at Tern.
pleton'a garage, Norristown. told
his employers that Hoeger's car was
in Conshohocken and asked them
what should he done in the matter.
They reported the finding of the car
bo Magistrate l.enbaidl as agent for
the Travcled's Insurance Company
In which company the car was in-sured,
and be asked for its return.
Campbell made a statement in
which he said that he had heard
Phipps had a car. He saw I'hlpps
who told him thai be had the cal-ami
that Hoeger told him to take it
and bring it here and store it for a
month when he WOUld take it. Phipps
is is claimed, stilted that the car
had been reported as stolen by Hoe-ger
and the loss became public
knowledge. Phipps desired to be rid
of the ear nnd Campbell told him
that he would tell his employers
about it and secure their advise,
which be did and they reported the
location of the car as being in a
garage in West Eighth avenue.
Campbell claims that those interest-ed
in the car desired him to stale
that the car was found In Whisk)
Lane, but he refused and told the lo-cation
of the stable where the car
was stolen.
Another peculiar feature of the
case is that told by Edward Murray.
proprietor of Murray's restaurant.
lie stated, a few days ago, while
driving in Norristown, lie met Hoe-ger
and offered him a ride to Con-shohocken.
Hoeger accepted and
asked Murray if he had room for two
tires he wished to deliver to Stephen
Phipps here. Murray consented and
drove to Hoeger's ollice where the
tires were secured and brough to
Hoeger's home here and Phipps no-tified
to get them.
Phipps claims that he was in.
structed to remove two tires from
the car and replace them with tWO
new ones Hoeger brought and which
were cheaper tires.
Phipps admits that he took (he
car but says that he done so by
Hoeger's instructions and that as he
was going for the ear. he told sever-al
people his mission After Ihe car
had been stored here, a number of
persons know.
The case has caused wide com-ment
here and relatives and friends
of Phipps, who Is the principal sup-port
of his mother, are supporting
him in his case as they believe the
young man has been unjustly accus-ed

the car but brought it here at the
solicitation of the owner. The mat-ter
