[Continued From First Page]
Patrolman Henry Bush to arrest his
attacker.
Trouble, it is said, arose over a lease
of a building in the Eighth ward.
Ommert had sublet a storeroom to
Abraham Zerger. Last night he and
his tenant got into an altercation.
One had a hatchet and the other a
hnmrner, and they were brandishing
these primitive weapons in the vicinity
of each other's faces when Patrolman
Brine separated them. At police head
quarters they effected a settlement by
which Zerger promised to pay Om
mert $42 and continue the business.
Rosenberg, it is said, sent for Ommert
on behalf of the owner of the building
with objections as to subletting it.
Calm Before the Storm
Ommert and Rosenberg were in the
hall of the first floor and had rung
for the elevator. Nobody heard any
high words, but the stillness was sud
denly punctured by a dull swat. Om
mert s left hand hooked Rosenberg's
jaw. The blood flowed from the law
yer's mouth. The attorney went to
the door, and the husky form of
Ommert was close benmu. Rushing
across Market Square Rosenberg
clutched Patrolman Brine's sleeve and
directed him to apprehend the belli
gerent pursuer, which he did. And
at police headquarters Ommert got
bail and will appear to-morrow aft
ernoon at 2 o'clock to answer the
charge of a one-hook assault with in
tent as to the battery end.

LAWYER'S SLIP-UP
LOSES HIS CISE
Mention Amount Desired to Jury
and Bottom Fell Out
of Suit
The whole bottom fell out of a tres
pass cfcso in May Common Pleas Court,
this morning, before counsel for the
plaintiff had finished his opening ad
dress to the Jury; the fall was accom
panied by a thud, one of the dull, sick
ening kind. Thus:
Mary Pajrich began a suit against
Paul Lovranitch, alleging trespass in
that she had been slandered by impolite
remarks mad© by Paul. In addressing
tho jury Robert Rosenberg, counsel for
Mary, started to read a portion of liis
complaint from the plaintiff's state
ments. Inadvertently he mentioned
that $5,000 damages was desired. That
that mere slip-up hail started some
thing that the attprney couldn't finish
was evident to the other members of
the bar—and even to Additional Law
Judge McCarrell on the bench. They
all grinned. The rules ot law and court
do not permit the statement to tho Jury
of any fixed amount, that detail being
left to the judgment of the. county's
twelve good men and true.
Neither Mr. Rosenberg nor James G.
Hatz, counsel for the defendant, re
membered that until too late for Mr.
Rosenberger. Mr. Hatz, however, was
on his feet with an objection. Judge
McCarrell asked If that "was all" he
asked. "If counsel for the defendant
asked for the withdrawal of the jury
and the dismissal of the case," the
Court smilingly pointed out, the Court
would likely grant the request. Mr.
Hatz did.
Tho trespass action of Sarah and
Benjamin Prowell against the Harris
burg Railways Company was sent to
tlie jury just before tho slander suit
began. Over in No. 2 courtroom Judge
Henry resumed the hearing of tho man
damus proceeding brought by Alfonso
I'ugliose against the Socleta Italiana <ll

ment as a member of that organization.

ASK PRIEST'S I
IN UPLIFT WORK
Want Spiritual Heads of People to
Help Educate Foreigners
of Steelton
In order to secure their co-opera
tion in liis plan to educate the for
eign-speaking resilient of the borough
to a proper observance of the rules
and regulations governing a well or
dered municipality. Burgess Wigfleld
has addressed a letter to all the
priests at the head of the borough's
foreign churches requesting them to
take up the work from the pulpit.
Last week the burgess had a num
ber of posters printed in foreign lan
guages and distributed throughout the
foreign section These posters point
out some of the simple rules of hy
giene and tell some of the things that
a good citizen must not do. The bur
gess now plans to have the pastors of
the foreign churches road these post
ers from the pulpit and urge the mem
bers of their churches to observe these
rules.
Speaking of his plan this morning
Burgess Wiglleld said: "I am thor
oughly convinced that fully one-half
of the trouble we have with the for
eigners is caused by an ignorance of
the law, and that the unsanitary con
ditions of the entire foreign section is
caused by a lack of knowledge of the
fundamental rules of hygiene. Most
of these foreigners are by nature ac
customed to living by rules which are
hammered into them from childhood.
I believe that if we tell these people
what -they do and what they may not
do, that we will have fewer cases In
police court and a much cleaner for
eign district."
