Have Hard Proposition in Blair
County Five; Girls Play
Chainbersburg
In the game to-night on Chestnut
street auditorium floor the regular,
Central line-up will buck against the
Tyrone High five. A game of unusual
interest is promised. Tyrone is con
sidered one of the strongest scholastic i
aggregations in the western part of
the State. Between the halves the;
Central Scrubs will meet the Globe!
Right Posture live.
A blue and gray victory will mean
much for the local school in view of
the fact that Central is a strong con
tender for Intersc.holastlc League I
honors. Coach McC'ord gave the'
local squad a hard drill yesterday, in !
preparation for this game. An !n-|
terestlng danoe program has been ar- I
ranged to follow the contest.
The Central High girls left this
afternoon for Chambersburg where
they will meet the high school co-eds
of that place. This game has been
widely advertised in Chambersburg,
and preparations have been made to j
give the Harrisburg; girls a royal re- '
ceptlon and entertainment.

TO BE PRECEDENT
Interesting Compensation
Question Raised Before Be- j
ferrcc Savior Today
Claim for compensation in a case
which may provide a precedent for the
whole State was made to-day before K.
K. Saylor, compensation referee, by |
Mrs. Noah Matilfalr, of this city,
against S. A. Brnnner, a Harrisburg I
(;iocer. It was claimed that Maulfalr
was fatally injured by an automobile
in this city while making delivery of
butter for his employer after store
hours. The claim was resisted on the
ground thai the delivery was being
made as an accommodation and not in
i nurse cif duty. The referee heard tcs-
I ir.ionv and argument but. reserved ilc- i
I i-'ion. The ease may determine

fur injury after hours although some
work may be done on deliverv.

"Wed Often Enough"
Court Tells Woman
I>es Moines, Ta.. Feb. 25. Mrs.
! Belle Anderson-Martin-Forbes - Lewis
sought to divorce her sixth spouse.
I but failed because District Judge
Ayres has some ideas about the num
ber of husbands a woman may ap
propriately possess during one's life-
S ttnie.
"You have been married often
enough." said Judge Ayres. "Unless
you can present evidence showing it
; is impossible for you to live with
i your present husband. I cannot grant
! you a divorce. Besides, a woman
: married five times should have had
; the good judgment to pick out the
| right sort of a sixth husband."
Three of Mrs. Lewis' previous hus- j
| bands died and she divorced the other
two.
THE DAY OF OLD MEN.
By Frederic J. Haskin
[Continued from Editorial Page.]
; war were past seventy. Practically
| every Japanese general in the eastern
struggle was well along in his six-I
jties. and it began to be recognized that
modern war takes a lifetime to learn,
and that a young man in a high mili
tary position is an anomaly. The idea
gets its finr. I proof to-day in the aged
I leaders of Europe. The.last ease oc
curred as lately as January 24. when
the Spanish General Weyler, whom
Americans remember in Cuba, was ap
pointed head of the Spanish general
; staff. General Weyler Is seventy
j seven years old.
The rise of the old men has not
been confined to war. In commerce!
;and the professions, as well as in poli- j
tics, the leading figures are men well i
|up in the fifties or sixties. Think of'
| the dozen best known men in Amer- !
| ican politics to-day and you will see j
how true this is in that line. The j
! same truth holds for business. The j
I youthful genius who built railroads, )
floated mergers, cornered t lie market'
and set the financial world by the ears
is not much in evidence. The heads j
of industrial works are gray heads, j
j The men capitalizing the latest inven- j
' tions can remember the days when the
| telephone was laughed at.

CHURCH UNITES TO
FIGHT ON HOTELS
[Continued From First l'age]
streets —on the grounds that a hotel
in that section of the city is unneces
sary and detrimental to the public
good.
Question signatures on Remonstrances
The question of tlie legality of
some of the remonstrances was raised j
by Ebel because, he contended, many I
of the signatures were evidently writ- |
ten by the same person. Among
these. Attorney Charles H. Bergner, <
his counsel, pointed out. were some
of the inmates of the Home For the j
Friendless. i
President Judge Kunkel inquired
with especial emphasis into why re
monstrances bearing many signatures
that had evidently been penned by I
one person in the same hand writing
should have been filed with the court.
Intcmjieranee Only Evil?
"Why," demanded the court,"
should any one undertake to present i
such a paper to the court? Is there
no other evil but the evil of intem
perance?" he continued. "We can
not understand why anyone should
presume to file papers bearing names
of persons who apparently have not
signed. Is intemperance the only
evil'.' Is not deceit just as bad?"
Following the hearing in the Ebel
case, the remonstrance against the re
licensing of David ICatzman's Hotel, !
314 A r erheke street, was considered.
The fight against this place is being
waged by the Dauphin County Daw
j and Order and the No-License j
I leagues. That liquor was sold there \
to minors, that women of question
able character were allowed to con- !
gregate in the drinking rooms, and
that language of the kind that Is not
countenanced by law was common, are
t he reasons why the re-licensing of
| this hostelry is objected to.
Girls Got Xo Intoxicants
The hearing of the remonstrance
against the re-licensing of the Lynch
Hotel, Capital and Verbeke streets, 1
: was concluded late yesterday after-!
noon. In the course of the afternoon
I testimony, the two girls, aged 17 and
14, who had been furnished with
liquor, according to witnesses for the
two leagues, took the stand. Both 1
girls declared emphatically that they
had not been furnished with inloxl'-
cating liquors but had been served '
only with "soft drinks."
Only half a dozen witnesses for both
licensee and remonstrants were on the
question of licensing 1802 North
i Fourth street. George D. Herbert, an
alderman of the Eleventh ward,
created a little smile throughout the
| courtroom when he said he believed
the proposed place would be a great
j convenience "for several reasons."
"Not only would it be a convenience
for those who might want a drink,"!
j lie explained, "but it would be a place i
| tor those who wished to lunch, or, it
1 would be a place for a woman to get
brandy to put into her fruit cake."
Some of the citizens declined to sign
the petition. Mr. Herbert pointed out,
1 because such action "would hurt their
J business," or because "they feared it
j might start an argument with their
' wives."
Henry Schudemadge, Harry Hanlen
and others were among those who
i thought the license necessary.
The Economic Side
C. R. Neff, a salesman who said
: he knew every businessman and many
i of the salesmen who did business in
the Eleventh ward, declared that he
"never once heard anybody express
any need of a hotel in that ward."
' W. F. Burgoon, an uptown grocer, de
clared against the licensing of the
hotel on economic grounds.
"Many of the people in thai neigh
; borhood," he planted out,' "are rall
j road men, and it Is a well-known fact
that men are being discharged or de
! moted by the company for using In
: toxicants. This has its effect on busi
ness. X have on my books men who
eouldtv"! pay their bills because they've
been discharged or demoted by the
company —for drinking!"
J. Henry Spieer declared that ninety
! per cent, of the people of the ward
protested against the licensing of the
hotel there, and he exhibited the pe
; tit ion signed by more than 1,100 resi
dents to that effect. It was this peti
l tion that aroused the petitioner's ire
j and his attorney pointed out the ap
parent discrepancy in the signatures,
j The signatures. Ebels counsel con
; tended, did not total more than 12
I per cent.
