STILL LOVING YOUTH
Continued from Tag One
brothers nnd her father have not re
protfehed her, but they cannot nil n
woman's place.
WANTS llEll BABY.
''if only my mother were living," the
girl said sadly. "I feel sure alio would
understand. Perhaps my aunts will take
caro of me. I don't know."
"I can't think whnt I will do when It's
all over." Her tones were Infinitely
weary nnd henrt-slck. "There Isn't much
promlso for the baby either, but I want
It Just tho same. 1 won't let them tnko
that from mo whatovor clso they do"
She said tho words fiercely and looked
as though sho might break down again,
and fo they took her back to tho cell, a
dejected little waif of humanity who had
clouded her llfo at the cry outset, a girl
thnt will become a mother In November
with no husband to give a name to her
child,
Tho girl, who Is very pretty, is tho
daughter of Charles Itlehl, of 410 West
Cambria street. Ho conducts nn ojstcr
saloon and Is widely known In tho north
eastern section of tho city. Last No
vember Ifniintftlhrrtf. wtin ,.,... rv .
old, nsked her to marry him nnd nlm
consented, nut ns month after month
nent by sho found that tho man had de
ceived her, had taken ndvantngo of her
great fnlth In him, and did not Intend to
marry her. That Is her story,
SHE WAS A WAITRESS.
Sho worked as a waitress In her
father's restaurant. Sho often had to go
to tho Hauptfuhrcr dairy to buy milk and
every time sho saw tho young man sho
Implored him not to lcavo her to face dis
grace, but to marry her and mako every
thing right About a month ago sho had
him arrested nnd ho was held In $1000
ball for court. But tho girl feared that
her child would bo born before tho trial.
On Saturday night sho went to her
father's cash bo and took from It a rc
olvor. Then sho went to tho 3d nnd
Berks streets freight station, whero sho
knew Hauptfuhrcr was accustomed to
meet tho milk train. Sho missed him
thoro nnd went back to tho Hauptfuhrcr
homo, nt 2900 North Lawrence street.
Sho found tho man on Orkney street.
In, tho rear of his home.
"1 nBked him ngaln If ho was going to
keep his promise," Bho said. "Ho laughed
nnd said ho was not. Then I got nngry.
I saw red. Ho sneered nt mo and spit In
my face. Then 1 shot him."
At tho Episcopal Hospital tho physi
cians saw that tho youth had not a
chanco to live. While surgeons were
preparing to operate, the young man
died.
Hauptfqhrer will be burled next Frldny
afternoon nt 3 o'clock. Tho funeral will
bo nt tho homo of his parents. Interment
will be In Grecnmount Cemetery.
FATHER DEFENDS IDA. ""
Ida Itlehl's father said today that he
blamed young Hauptfuhrcr moro than his
daughter for "tho whole thing."
"When ho refused to keep his promlso
sho camo to me nnd I tried to mako him,"
ho said. "Ho would promise mo and then
deny tho promlso to her. I saw his
father, but that did no good. Tho young
man was to marry somebody 'better' than
my daughter. It seemed.
"I know she didn't plan this thing. Sho
says Bho didn't even look to seo If tho re
volver was loaded, and I bellevo her. Sho
had been a good girl always. Even now,
after all this, I say sho was and Is a
good girl.
TRIED TO KEEP HER GOOD.
"I kept her from running to cabarets,
cheap dances nnd suclj things. Once a
week she went to a show. Sho lost her
mother last Easter. I always took tho
best of caro of her. Sho cared for me
enough to obey mo in everything nnd I
could hardly bellevo It when sho told mo
what had happened. She worried moro
about tho disgrace on my account than
on her own; yet I never found a word
of fault after she told me.
"For two weeks before the shooting she
had hardly gone out of tho house In the
daytime."
RIehl had Just coma from City Hall
where he had been talking to his daugh
ter In her cell. Ho was weeping as ho
sat talking about It at one of his res
taurant tables. His little daughter and
son held his hands and hung on their
father's shoulders. He is a big, heavy
man, with grny hair; he has a clear, hon
est gaze.
"I hope they'll be easy on Ida," ho
Bald, "for Bho's mighty sorry now. She
cared so much for that fellow. Even when
he refused to marry her sho would keep
defending him when I'd say ho was no
good. Ho would do the right thing, aho
said."
At midnight Saturday night the girl was
taken to the Episcopal Hospital whero
Hauptfuhrer lay dying. Magistrate Mc
Cleary was present to take tho man's
ante-mortem statement.
"She Is the girl that shot me," was alt
that the man would say.
The girl looked down at Hauptfuhrer
without a word. She showed no emotion
and seemed to be in a daze. She was led
away and Hauptfuhrer averted his eyes.
He died at 2:30 o'clock Sunday morning,
less than three hours after the girl was
brought to the hospital, He had been
shot twice in the abdomen.
It was said at Magistrate Campbell's
office that there was a report that a law
yer for tho Hauptfuhrers had offered the
girl money If Bhe would drop her charges.
This was denied by the young man's
father today. He said he believed his
son was Innocent and had told him that
he would die rather than marry Ida RIehl,
as he said there was no reason why ne
should,

her on his death bed he was not guilty.
'"Como back tomorrow, mother," ha
said, "and I will tell you all about It.
I am absolutely Innocent."
Hauptfuhrcr's mother expressed con

newspapers," she said, "Is to protect my

shawl of lies, but I don't want to blnckcn
tho character of tho girl. Last Friday
week my husband wns In tho country on
business and I was called to tho door.
A man wanted to see me. Ho said hq
was Mr. RIehl.
" 'What about my daughter?" he nsked
mo.
"I told him I didn't know what was to
be done. I said I was shocked by the
wholo thing. Then ho said ho Bupposed
wo were rcpicsentcd by a lawyer and ho
went away.
"I went to my son In the hosnltnl. nnd
ho told mo ho was not guilty. I do not
bellevo ho would llo to me."
The father of tho dead youth also be
lieves his son.
RATHER DIE THAN MARRY HER.
"A month ago," ho says, "I heard tho
rumors around hero nnd I went to my
son nnd told him If ho was guilty to
marry tho girl. I offered to sot him up
In business and glvo him a houso of his
own, whero ho could bo happy with her.
But ho refused. Ho said ho was abso
lutely Innocent, and I believed him. Ho
eald, 'I havo had nothing to do with this
girl nnd I would rather ohoot myself thnn
marry her'.-'
Tho statement of tho girl as to what
transpired between her and Hauptfulucr
Just prior to tho shooting is verified by
the conversation tho youth's father had
Juet before young Hauptfuhrer died at
the Episcopal Hospital.
"Sho met mo at Cambria and Lawronco
streets," tho youth told his father, "nnd
wo wnlked about CO feet up tho street.
" 'Now what are you going to do?' sho
nfckcd me."
" 'Absolutely nothing,' I said, and then
bho shot mo "
Hauptfuhrcr denied emphatically today
a rumor that his attorneys had offered
5-000 to attorneys for the girl If the caso
ngalnst his son would bo dropped. Ho
snld no such offer was mndo.
According to Hauptfuhrcr's father, tho
girl followed his son for several hours
tho night of tho shooting. Sho lost traco
of him for a time, nnd Inquired of a
crowd of men and bos at 3d and Cam
bria streets. They pointed out Haupt
fuhrer to her and sho crossed tho streot
and Joined him. A moment later camo
the shot.
BOYS CALLED TO INQUEST
IN Y. M. C. A. POOL DEATH
Some Say Thoy Saw Lad Gasping,
But Thought It Joke.
Twenty boys, who were swimming with
Houston DeCray, tho 13-ycar-old lad that
was drowned Into the pool of tho North

Sons of these boys havo said they saw
DeCray grasping for breath In tho pool.
but, thinking ho was only joking, did
not go to his assistance. They did not
see, him again.
Coroner's Detective Frank Paul said
today Hint this seemed to establish the
fact that tho boy died during tho swim
ming lesson thnt was given between 11
and 12 o'clock Saturday morning by
George Schaeffer, former swimming In
structor at the branch, and not after
the lesson was over.
Schaeffer told Paul today that ho be
lieved tho boy had died of heart dis
ease, but an autopsy by Doctor Wads
worth on Saturday showed that the boy
had been drowned. Paul Bald thnt evi
dently there had not been great care
taken to account for nil tho boys in the
pool, as tho body was not found until
two hours after the lesson and then
only by chance. Ho said tho Coroner
wns particularly cleBlrous of questioning
Mr. Schaeffer about tho attention ho
paid to tho young boys under his chargo
during a lesson.
It was Schaeffor's last day at the
North Branch, and ho left Immediately
after the lesson for Baltimore, whero
ho Is to take a position as swimming
instructor In a similar Institution, Ho
was notified by wire that ono of his
pupils had been drowned and returned

Prominent citizens of tho Italian colony
Bald today that thoy wcio convinced,
for many rensona, that numbers of Aus

"Little Italy" Is not officially In a state
of war) agents of tho Teuton Govern
ments, were nt work In tho qunrter, tak
ing notes on tho number of men who nro
preparing to return to Italy to fight for
their country.
An Incident which has etclted tho
Iningln.itlon nf Itntlan residents In this
connection wns made known today.
Ottavlo D'AngcInntonlo, u young Italian,
was stabbed by an Austrian, at 7th nnd
Chestnut Btreets; friends of tho Italian
lejpcd upon tho nssnllnnt nnd disarmed
him
D'AngcInntonlo wns in a frenzy to en
list toiti and hiiunlcd tho ollke of tho
Italian Consul In his efforts to learn how
soon ho could sail for Italy.
Tho stabbing affair took place last
night. A number of joung Italians had
been mnklng- tho rounds of nowspaper
bulletin boards and were In n heated dis
cussion when tho Austrian, whose name
wns snld to bo Pnllcvlch, Joined In tho
talk and sneered nt Italy's chances.
Ho followed this up by stabbing D'An

Moro than 25,000 soldiers for tho Italian

This was hat they said In "Llttlo

moro question of sending a Philadelphia
reglmont "to help out tho old country."
doclnrcd all patriotic Italians, and If
there aro any Italians In South Sth street
who aro not patriotic, they had better
keep under cover.
All Italian men between tho ages of

of tho United States will bo obliged to
go to tho front under pnln of never be
ing allowed to return to Italy again. But
this Is never spoken of In tho Italian
colony. It wns said. Indignantly, that
nothing of that sort would bo needed to
spur tho ItnllanB in this cltv to nctlon.
nnd In proof of this It was recalled that
several days ago a group of young mon
called on Charles D. Naidl, editor of tho
newspaper L'Oplnlone, nnd asked that ho
nnnounco that a body of men to be
known as tho Philadelphia Reglmont.
would be organized for service against

TO CALL ON CONSUL.
A commltteo of theso young men will

Tho Consul had been to Washington yes
terday. Ho returned to this city today.
When ho was approachod with a ques
tion about tho number of volunteers ha
oxpectcd, ho held up his handB and cried:
"Not a word! Not a word I"
It was Just like Colonel Itoosevelt doe3
when he Is nbout to leap on to tho first
pages of tho newspapers with a 10,000
word statement. But In this caso mum is
really tho word. Tho consul's ofllco
looked like war and every ono was rush
ing about In a very practical manner of
getting things done.
Tho Consul, It was eald, had received
tho word from tho Italian Ambassador
"not to talk."
A resident In "Llttlo Italy" is already
In active service, possibly at tho front.
He Is Gluseppo Donato, ono of tho edi

Suddenly tho news flashed out on tho
bulletin boards that Italy had declared

Idly nil over the colony. Cheer upon cheer
broke forth from tho thousands lining
the sides of tho streets.
This annual May procession Is a great
event In "Little Italy." Sldo by sldo
In the procession the Stars nnd Stripes

A bootblack, whoso stand Is opposite

Special food
taste
valte in these
vegetables
Every housekeeper
knows the convenience
of an assortment of veg
etables in tins on the
Emergency Shelf. The
1915 "truck" is still in its.
early infancy. Corn, to
matoes, lima beans and
other late season vege
tables are still far away
in the future. The new
asparagus will shortly
be a thing of the past.
But "King" Hick
mott's asparagus in tins
is more tender and suc
culent than any new as
paragus you can buy.
All Martindale vege
tables are selected for
highest nutritive and
taste value. Right now,
before the real warm
days come, better have
an assortment on hand.

Question t We've heard of such a
thing as Courtship by cor
respondence; though we.
confess that the old-fashioned
vis-a-vis method
seems to have superior at
tractions.
Now, if it's a Perry
Suit, instead of a Girl,
you're face to face with a
similar handicap.
Ct Not all the pens, ink,
print and paper in Chris
tendom can ever, effect'
what fifteen minutes of
propinquity will accom

Perry Suits for yourself;
you have to experience
their soft and assuring
embrace t o appreciate
their Perry Fit, their Per
ry Comfort.

way suffer a Perry Sales
man to slip the coat on
your shoulders!
