SMITH IH SHADOW OF BE ASYLUM Question of Youth's Legal Ability to Defend Himself Be fore Jury PRECEDENT FOR DEFENSE Similar Procedure Never Tried Here Before; McCarrell Trial Judge Is Edward G. accused of murdering bis aged grandfather. John E. Hush, near Inglenook last Spring, now insane? Twelve of Dauphin's good men and true began the legal Inquiry into that question at the opening of the con tinued term of the Fall quarter ses sions this morning and upon the result of their deliberations will hinge the question of whether Smith will stand trial for his life. If the jury decides him insane and thus unable legally to defend himself, then he will be confined in a criminal Insane asylum. If tho jury decides the youth is legally sane then he steps from the shadow of the asylum gates to the deeper shadows of the electric chair. In other words, his trial for murder will go on. McCarrcU Trial Judge Judge S. J. M. McCarrell will pre side at the trial, and Judge Albert W. Johnson, of the Union-Snyder judicial circuit, will conduct trials in other criminal cases of a less serious nature In courtroom No. 2. Judge Kunkel, who was on the bench with Judge Mc- Carrell this morning, will remain in chambers and devote his time and at tention to other legal matters. The Smith case was taken up Im mediately after court organization at 10 o'clock and all of the morning was devoted to laying the ground for the procedure as well as selecting the jurors. These men will say whether or not Smith now Is sane: Harry B. Etter. clerk, Middletown. George B. Embig, laborer. Seventh Ward, city. Daniel Bryans, laborer. Boyalton. Charles L. Andrews, rodman. Eighth Ward. city. William B. Gray, gentleman, Hall fax. John Glbb, Jr., clerk. First Ward, Steelton. Albert Potteiger, farmer, West Han over township. Frank B. Balmer, stonemason, Cone wago township. Edward L. Forney, blasksmlth, Eleventh Ward, city. George L. Fisher, farmer, Swatara township. William Bowers, laborer, Thirteenth Ward, city. Hnrry Mattis. laborer, Kovalton. The Accused Enters Courtroom Smith looked rather shabby and wore an air of nonchalance as he en tered the courtroom at 10.38 o'clock on the arm of a deputy sheriff. There was a noted lack of tidiness in his dress, his long uncombed hair strag gled from beneath his blue cap. At the counsel table he was joined by his legal advisers, John Fox Weiss, ex-district attorney, and William H. Earnest. The accused's father and mother. Constable and Mrs. Charles Smith, son-in-law and daughter, re spectively, of the murdered man, also sat at the counsel table. The Insanity Plea Tnsofar as was noticeable the par ents did not speak to young Smith while he was in the courtroom. When the defendant was directed to stand up to he arraigned on the murder charge, he remained in his seat, and his counsel pressed his motion, origi nally made on June 12 last, to have the defendant's mental condition first passed upon.

BIG DiV OF en IS OBSERVED 111 TECH Maroon and Gray Students Cele brate Thanksgiving Day Vic tory Over Central Both Technical and Central high student bodies celebrated the results of the great football contest on the island Thanksgiving Day—the day that was turned to Maroon and Gray to the tune of 19 to 12. At Tech the whole student body did little else throughout most of the morning but hear and cheer speeches by team members, alumni and faculty. The sum and substance of all the ad dresses of course, was the wonderful walloping Captain Beck's warriors ad ministered to Central. At Central the team that fought so valiantly was cheered again and agatn, individually and collectively. Among those that were picked out for especial recogni tion were Rote and Smeltzer. Tech's whole team came in for much eulogy but the work of Captain Beck was particularly and repeatedly men tioned and it was a pretty safe bet that he could have had pretty nearly anything to-day that his schoolmates could have handed him. In cheering for the team the trades school stu dent body laid especial emphasis on the name of Stiteler —the plucky Ma roon and Gray end who turned a pos sible tie score into the first victory for Tech in ten years by leaping into the air and blocking an attempted goal from touchdown. The feat was unpre dented on a local football field—and it made the score: Tech, 19; Central, 12. At both Institutions the principals commended the boys and members of the faculties followed suit. Professor George It. Hull referred to the fact that $1,300 had been netted for Tech and that the athletic funds were in such excellent shape that the Maroon and Gray could readily afford to fol low the college plan of sending the team to the mountains or other resort for a brief rest prior to the annual game. To-day was truly a "big day" at Technical high, one the students will long remember, and Central high stu dents in their characteristic way made the best of it.

Edward Richards, 1333 Derry street, one of the C< ntist's in charge of the school dental clinic opened by the school board weeks ago. "Children are not taught at home how to take care of their teeth nor compelled to brush them and they suffer as a result of this carelessness and neglect. Some of the youngsters come to me hardly knowing what a tooth brush is. Some do not know what a dentist is. Such pupils usually come with their teeth in bad condi tion. The parent is to blame." "In other cities having dental clinics in the public schools it is found that the mental efficiency of pupils who have their teeth taken care of in creases 16 per cent," said Dr. Rich ards dl»cussing the efficiency end of the question.

Nevertheless, the mili tary critics in the capitals of the al lies, according to dispatches reaching London, are convinced that the Ger man invasion of Russian Poland has suffered a check which only the most strenuous efforts of the German com manders can save from degenerating into disaster. A news report from Petrograd sets forth that the Germans, apparently ignorant of the extent of the Russian opposition along the Vistula, or hold ing this opposition in contempt, threw heavy forces against the Russian cen ter, leaving very thin lines of com munication between their wings. This created a situation said to be without i precedent in military strategy. Tn the meantime *h« resumption of th»;\"Russt«»-offensive -resulted in a wedgd dominated by L>qdz, being thrust into the German cerflef. Tf trie Her mans can hold their lines of com munication with their wings intact, the Invaders may be able to withdraw, in the view of British observers, with out suffering disaster. Berlin and Vienna continue to re port that the battle along the rivers Vistula and A\iarta is proceeding with out decisive result, although minor successes attended with the capture of prisoners and guns are claimed for the Austrian and German operations. On the western front, according to i the communication given out in Paris last night, a lull prevailed, except in the Argonne. where the Ge -inan at tacks are said to have been fruitless. Unofficial dispatches declare that Zec briiHKe is again preparing for an as sault from the sea, with the Germans directing their activities toward the suppression of all efforts to signal i from the land to British ships off the coast.

J 12 PAGES RUSSIANS AT CRACOW FORTS Big Guns of Czar's Troops Brought to Bear on Austrian Stronghold; Military Experts Be lieve German Commanders Will Be Able to Save Their Army in the East; Very Quiet in France and Belgium By Associated Press Germany acknowledges that tlie Russian Northern array lias pene trated Into Kust Prussia to a distance fifteen miles southwest of Gumbinnen. which Is about twenty miles west of the ticrman border. In Belgium, says the French ofllclal statement, It Is the allies and not the fJermans who are now oil the offensive. Tliesc two points stood out In to-day's news from the battlefield of Kurope. Tin* (iernian official statement says that strong Russian forces attempted a surprise attack on the fortifications of Darkehmen, In Kast Prussia, and that they were repulsed. Seml-ollicial information from I'ctrograde is that o|M'rations along the Prussian front are turning to tlie advantage of the Russians and that the (Germans are retiring hi disorder. .Meanwhile the great battle In Russian Poland, be tween the Vistula and Warta rivers, continues without delinltc result. The (ierman War Office stutcs Uiat the Russians were defeated In a battle south of the Vistula and that 4,500 men were captured. Further south, in Gallcia. the Rus.sians are said to have reached Cracow and to have begun the siege of tlie city. According to the French oflicial statement the German forces In Bel gium are 011 the defensive and the al lies have made progress "at certain points." Fighting continues in the Ar gonne where, tlie French statement asserts, German attacks were re pulsed. The whereabouts of the (iernian Pa cific licet, of which little lias been heard since it sank the British cruis ers Good Hope and .Monmouth off the coast of Chile nearly a month ago, has become one of the mysteries of (the war.

MARRIAGE LICENSES Hunard M. Hubcr, city, ami llora Mi. Wormlryabur*. Hajmund A. Howe, Mfllcrntown, and llrberra /rlglcr, Newport* * POSTSCRIPT ing the seas for weeks for the Ger mans. Russian forces, it is reported un officially to-day, have at last reached 1 Cracow, the Austrian fortress in Northwestern Gallcla near the boun daries of Russia and Germany. An Itallun correspondent at the front states that Cracow Is now being bom barded by • heavy Russian siege guns and that one of the suburbs is in flumes. The capture of tills fortress has liecn one of the main objectives of Russia's campaign against Aus tria, on the theory that its fall, to gether with that of Przemysl now un der siege, would mean Russian as cendancy In that part of Austria which lies to the north of the Carpathian mountains. Other than this report, there was little new information «*oneernlng the situation in the Fast. The main ques tion, in tlie opinion of I/ondon, was whether the German army which struck at the Russian center would bo able to extricate itself and fall back to the border without a disaster. Tlie Russian army operating from Lodz is striking a heavy blow at the main Ger man force, but it is probable that some time must elapse before this phase or the campaign in the Kast is brought to a close. Opinions differ sharply as to the In tentions of (iermany concerning op erations in the West. It is reported that Germany Is alMiut to embark on a new offensive movement; that the allies are alNiut to assume the offen sive, that the (iernian line has been weakened and that a new German army Is ln-lng rushed into Flanders. | In view of these conflicting statements 1 it is ini|M>ssihle to discern even the proliahilitics of the near future. Fight ing at present apparently Is conllncd to operations In the Argonne. Russia's campaign against Turkey likewise has reached a period of in activity. The latest report from the 1' Russian army of the Caucasus Is to the effect that no movements of Im portance are under way. rContinued on Page 12J
