THE WEATHER
This speculation on the advent, real or
otherwise, of spring that has been amus
ing not a few of us for a week or ao back
has for the present year been set at rest.
Spring arrived surreptitiously, authentic
ally, officially and every other "ly" yes
terday. This on no less authority than
old man Almanac himself.
March 21 Is the birthday of tho vernal
equinox, and that Is all there is to It. No
natter how many blizzards we may havo
la the next weeks, no matter how much
tero weather may flit around, spring Is
here, and that Interesting individual who
refuses to trust himself and exists on
ome other person's word for everything
aa now donned his light-weights and
1U shiver his teeth out before he will
Change back.

'DOPE' PROSECUTIONS
TERRIFY TENDERLOIN
Drug Users, Habitues of Dis
trict, Find Government Has
"Made Good."
Cocaine, hcioln and morphine are words
whispered' today In the Tenderloin, which
has been thrown Into a state bordering
on terror by the arraignment of four
drug users before United States Commis
sioner Kdmunds on Saturday-tho tlrst
persons arrested under the Harrison act.
Since March 1. when tho law becamo
operative, Tenderloin drug useru havo
waited anxiously to see how far the Fed
erul Government would go in prosecuting
those who violated the act. The Govern
ment made good Saturday, and three men
and a slrl were held under J1000 ball
each for trial In the United States Dls
trlct Court at tho June term.
Lunch rooms, bbIooii back rooms ami
tho "Arsenal" lached their customary
patrons this morning In tho early hours,
tho time chosen by drug users to omergo
from their rooms and seek companionship
In the Tenderloin resorts. Tho "Arsenal,"
as described by one man, resembled "an
undertaker's rooms on n Sunday morning
In April." There was no one In It but tho
attendants. ....
Today for the tlrst time in months there
were no prisoners to arraign at the po.
lice station ot 11th and Winter streets.
This the polico put down to a general
slacking up of tenderloin activities due
to the Harrison net and the fear It has
i..nir.i Tormer habitues of the tender
loin who returned to their old haunts
have left, disgusted.

ADVISES BALL HOME
DISPUTE ADJUSTMENT
Vice Chancellor Learning Sug
gests Settlement of Contro
versy in Camden Case.
Vice Chancellor Learning, In the Cam
den Court of Chancery, today went out
sldo of the ordinary duties of his ofllce
'nnd suggested Uat some method be
found to adjust tho differences between
tho board ot trustees nnd tho board of
managers of tho Mary J. Halt Homo and
Day Nursery. This suggestion came at
the conclusion of an application for an
injunction to restrain the board of trus
tees from turning over tho funds and
property of tho homo to Dr. Emma J.
Richardson, whose alleged mismanage
ment haa been the cause of dlsscitBlon.
Howard Miller, attorney for Doctor
nichnrdson and tho Hoard of Trustees,
failed to file affidavits and the court re
fused to hear testimony unless the afil
davlts were filed. Ho set n further hear
ing In the caso for Wednesday morning,
at 9 o'clock.
When tho caso of Michael Kopclnsky.
on a writ of habeas corpus directing
Doctor Jllchardson to produce Maiy Kop
clnsky, un lumato of tho Mary J. Hall
Home, camo up for a hearing previous to
the hearing of the application for an In
junction against the Board of Trustees,
Attorney Miller said that ho had lost the
original writ, und next Monday was flxed
for the hnbeas corpus proceeding to have
the six-year-old child released from the
custody of tho doctor.
Voce Chancellor learning said that ho
was attempting to have an agreement
reached between the rival factions of the
home because of its great public Inter
ests and tho beneficent character of tho
institution.
"There is something wrong," said the
court, "when people who are stimulated
by such high Ideals should disagree. Some
way should be found to adjust the mat
ter." As a solution of tho squabble he urged
William S. Darnell, attorney for the
Hoard of Managers to ask the women on
the board to resign. He also said the
deed for the property of the home which
was turned over to Doctor Richardson a
week ago by the Hoard of Trustees, be
given to the board and art entire new
Board of Managers eleceted.
Both attomeyB agreed they would at
tempt to get the resignation of the mem
bers of the Hoard of Managers that the
adjustment might be consumated,
White the Vice Chancellor is anxious
the fight be settled, members of the
Board of Managers opposed to the man
agement ot Dr. Emma J. Richardson Bald
after the adjournment of court they
would not resign. It Is likely they will
continue the fight which they have been
making to prevent Doctor Richardson
from being In charge of the home. A
final suggestion of the Vice Chancellor
was that the trustees consent to the ap
pointment by him of a committee to
work out a. plan.
At the opening of tha hearing. Vice
Chancellor Learning said the Board of
Trustees had no right to. suspend tha
corporation dmply because of the reso
lution which they paaaed a week ago.
ITALY PREPARES

BY LAND AND SEA
Forty Transports at
Ancona to Carry
Troops to Albania
When War Comes.
Part of Fleet Expected to Join
Allies in Dardanelles At

Operate Against Austrian
Naval Base at Pola.
ROME, March 22.
Attacks bv laud ntul sen will herald
Italy's entrance Into tho war If this coun
try finally caBts aside her neutrality nnrt
joins tins Allies. Part of the Italian fleet
will Join the Allien nt tho Dardanelles,
while the thrr warnhlps will operato
nsnltipt the AtiQ)rlau naval base at Pola.
Italy's tlrst blow on Innd will he struck
nmilnst the Austrian forces now mi tho
Sen Inn frontier Troops will bo landed
In MimtrncRift and Albania, ntul will put
cced oveilitnd to tho front, wheic the dc-
i plett'tl Servian and Montenegrin urmlcf
i
phcr when surf devotees of both sexes
it to their liking, as the expressions on
have been holding the Austrians in check,
Italian military experts assert.
Travelers who arrived here today de
clared that 10 transports nnd merchant
steamships aro now In the harbor nt An
cona to carry Italian soldiers across the
Adriatic. Thero Is no likelihood that
Italy will attempt to sttlkp tho fortified
Austrian lino In Trent. This Is of un
doubted streitKth With enough tn.ops
left on the Northern Italian frontier tu
hold back any offensive by Teutonic
forces. Italy could proceed to Join In hos
tilities fiom tho HalUan districts ami
thus bo In a position to prevent Greece
from grasping too much there at tho ter
mination of tho war.
Whilo diplomatic pourparlers continue,
tho belief is becoming general that Italy's
entrance Into the war cannot bo long de
layed. A number of steamships have been
tnken over by the Government to Import
coal from America.
Demonstrations urging Italy's partici
pation in the war were held in a number
of Italian cities Sunday. Most of them
passed off without disorder.
The antl-esplonage and nntl-contraband
law, which many believe is the laht step
in Jtaly's war preparations, was passed
In tho Senate at 1:45 o'clock this morn
Ins. There were Hi favorite votes nnd
only two against the measure.
The police have discovered that the
telephone connecting the Foreign Ofllce
with the Qulrlnal has been tapped by a
German spy. Sensational developments
are expected as a result of tho discovery.
Another Indication of the near approach
of Italy's entrance Into the war is tho
acknowledgment that all Germans and
Austrians in Italy have been urgently
advised by the Consuls of their respective
countries to leave within the shortest
possible time.
Commenting on the anti-espionage and
ant). contraband act, Senator Maragllano
said that the law was the last phase in
tho war preparations, looking toward a
realization of Italy's national aspirations
"from which even the earthquake did
not deter us, hence this law Is virtually
a bugle call summoning the people to
take up arms."
Senor Santlnl expressed confidence In
the Cabinet and alluded to the German
contraband trafilo and the action of
Germany in furnishing rifles to the
Trlpolltan rebels.
Premier Salandra thanked the oratora.
but refrained from speaking of his future
actions.

BRAVE WOMAN BALKS
TWO HOLD-UP MEN
Mrs. Brewer, of 713 Pine
Street, Meets Demand for
Money With Promise of a
Bullet.
The bravery and quick action of Mrs.
Louis Brewer, of 713 Pine street, thwarted
tho efforts ot two desperate thieves who
attempted to 10I1 her apartments today
whilo she was alone.
Shortly after her daughter went to
Bchool, the woman wns summoned on the
house telephone which connects with the
door. When tho answered a. strange
voice said "Thero are two gentlemen heie
who wish to see you on Important busi
ness" Mrs. Brewer pressed the button which
opened the door and told the men to
come to her apartments.
One of tho callers sat down and the
other stood with his back to the door.
"We came for money." said the man at
the door, "and If you cry out we'll
smother you."
"I understand," said Mrs, Brewer, calm
ly, "and I'll get you some money Immedi
ately." She walked toward her bedroom, which
adjoins, and facing the visitors she sud
denly reached into her bureau and pulled
out a revolver.
"If you want money," she said quietly,
"you can have It and take a bullet with
It."
One of the men ran downstairs. Tha
other hesitated a moment and took a step
forward. But the woman looked him
straight In the eye and pressed the re
volver closer.
"Now you get," she said, "or some
thing will happen."
The man. seeing that she meant busi
ness, fled front the house.
Mrs. Brewer then Informed the De
tective Bureau at City Halt She said
that -the would-be thieves were well
dressed. One was very short and the
other one ot medium height and etocklly
.built.
Louia Brewer, the woman's husband,
believes that the hold-up men are mem
bers of a sans which congregate at a
poolroom in the neighborhood.

SPRINGTIME IS HERE,
WITH PROOFS GALORE
New Season Arrived Officially
Yesterday, Along With the
Hurdy-gurdys.
This Is spring.
And It's tho tlmo of year in which tho
ntmosplieto is overlnden with optimum.
It is thn period which makes every youth
of 21 Imagine something great's going to
happen to him (without working) when
ho's nbout 25. Furthermore, It's also the
tlmo that such a stripling figures on
marrying n girl as pretty as the ono In
thn short story, living on the Main Line
and going to business in his own car.
Unfortunately for us. some older youths
also are afflicted with the idea.
But. from a business standpoint, the
florist, tho haberdasher, tho btitchqr the
hatter and tho grocer all Join In the
mighty chorus, "Spring is hero." And th
birds, the chickens and tho confectioner,
who Is looking forward td Easter, omit
approving echoes.
Scientists agree that it Is not definitely
known Just who invented spring, although
It's a toss up, some say, between Ptolemy
and Copernicus. At any rate, they d.
decided that miring nlwaya arrived on
March 21st and subsequent astronomers
never had the courage to deny It. They
made an amendment In our specific rase,
however, and resolved that spring arrived
hero jtmerday nt 11.13 a.m. So It wm
on nn express train per schedule. But,
unfortunately, the weather man wasn't
able to get all the cold wind out of the
city and some of the left-over' winter got
mixed in with the regular spring balm.
This was especially bad for ethereal
millinery and frail garments,
Even the alligators at the Zoo must
Tiave known by tome instinctive thrill
that spring had come, for they wiggled
out of their winter quarters and wel
comed the spring visitors with rnany op
timistic yawps. In harmony with the
order of things, many of the trees began
to bud and russet lawns assumed u green
ish summer tinge.
And to settle the question onto and for
all tho hurdy-gurdy man was out today
with the latest melodies, and he ground
them out while youngsters danced ta their
heart's delight, despite the fact that
there a war In Europe and uncertainty In
commerce.
