10 CENTRAL TRIMS TECH—LOCAL FANS IN DEEP GLOOM LADIES DAY FOR CHAMPION JESS Big Fellow to Entertain Fair Sex Every Friday Afternoon; Enthusiastic Fans Special to the Telegraph \"ew York. March I.—The presence of a dozen or more women at Jess Wil lard's training quarters at the Pioneer A. C. yesterday has caused Willard to net aside every Friday afternoon as "ladles' day" at his camp. The first "ladies' day" will be on Friday after noon of this week. Not only will Wil lard go through his training routine, but also will Johnny Krtle, the ban tamweight champion. Since it. was announced that a sec lion could be reserved for women and their escorts at the Willard-Moran glove contest, which is to be held at Madison Square Garden on March 25. the interest shown in boxing by women has been surprising, according to the ticket sellers. Women Fans Increase A few months ago the presence of women at the ticket office of the Oar den looking for pasteboards was un- ( lieard of. Every day now women step , right tip to the window and buy seats for the bout. Few women have at tended boxing bouts in New York, but the Willard-Moran bout may establish a fad. The women who saw Willard box at' the Pioneer Club were the most en- 1 thusiastic spectators in tlie hall. When the champion and Walter Monahan started to mi\ it up and slam each other for all they were worth it was I the women spectators who led the ap- i plause. The champion and his i sparring partner went about their work with a vengeance.

Weeks Declares Democrats Lead in Extravagances Special to the Telegraph Philadelphia, March i.—Attacking; the record of the present Democratic administration as inconsistent with the I national platform upon which Presl-i dent Wilson was elected. Senator John W. Weeks, of Massachusetts, last I night delivered an address on "The | Finances of the United States," at a < reception given in his honor in the I Union League. He declared that after | the platform makers had taken a spectacular stand for economies in government there was no practical evidence to show the declaration has | been given any consideration. In stead Its extravagances have exceed- S ed any In the history of the nation, I he stated. Senator Weeks mentioned the "so-1 called Shipping bill." which, he said, "was to be renewed at this Congress. I The bill last year carried an appro- ! priation of $40,000,000. An appro priation of $3,000,000 to carry outl the conditions imposed in the Nica ragua treaty recently ratified, the value of which Senator W f eeks regard ed as doubtful. The bill, which has already passed the House of Repre sentatives, carrying an appropriation of $25,000,000 for the construction of good roads, was characterized as a "bottomless pork barrel." A proposi tion now pending in the Senate for the erection of an armor factory at j a cost of $11,000,000 was also attack ed. FORCES OF CROWN PRINCE ARE HALTED [Continued From First Page.] in explaining the budget, said it was expected to realise more than 500,000,000 rubles from now sources of revenue created by the state of war. i He had such confidence in the spirit of ; tlie Russian people to make pertna-1 nent the advantages gained by temper- j ance, he added, that he was loading | himself with the heavy responsibility j of drafting urgent legislation and de- ! vising taxes to cover the diminution , of receipts caused by cessation of the sale of liquor so as to avoid all tempta- 1 tion to return to the past. London, March 1. —The newspapers! this morning dwell on the fact that this Is the last day for voluntary en listment in the British army and that ] it is also the first In what is called the new German submarine campaign.

The Reserves evened up. Tech's squad winning from Central; score. 26 to 35. The big game was fast. Both teams showed special work near the finish. Central had the lead, but at times fell down in tossing and other work, and had Tech shown any kind of team work at these stages the score would have been different. Central's goal shooting was an in teresting feature. Thomas was leader for the victors, scoring 22 points. Rote and Hilton did good work. Harris was Tech's star, scoring 20 of the 24 points.

French Are Confident of Ability to Hurl Back Any New Assaults by Germans By Associated Press Paris, March I.—That the situation around Verdun is now well In hand and considered quite satisfactory from the French point of view is freely stated by the military experts. To the northeastern part of the stronghold the chief effort of the Germans seems to be directed to the rescue of the Brandenburgers who remain cooped up In the ruined casemates of Fort Douaumont. The development of the German op erations southeast of Verdun is inter preted by the observers as preliminary to an attempt to' assail the French positions on the Meuse Heights through two principal gaps through the woods which are protected by Fort Tavannes, east by northeast of, Ver dun and southeast of Fort Douau mont, and by Fort Rozelier to the southeast of the fortress. Both sides are profiting by the per iod of comparative calm to bring up fresh forces and supplies of ammuni tion. While it is realized that the Germans have not yet reached the limit of their offensive resources, it is stated that any fresh onslaught on their part is awaited by the French with supreme confidence in their abil ity to hurl it back.

Furthermore, he! said, be had never heard anyone ask ! for hotel accommodations at the Len- I nox. What the Public Avoids The fact that the north side of Mar- 1 ket street was more generally traveled ! by people en route to and from their i homes on the Hill was attributed by 1 Mr. Barker to the presence of so manv I hotels on the south side. They used the upper side of the street, he said, I because they were not so subject to ' insult and inconvenience due to the liquor emporiums on the lower side Even though the State legalized the •sale of liquor, Mr. Barker declared, he does not believe in the licensing of hostelries. ''ln other words, you do not think it ! riant that any hotels should be' licensed ?" demanded Mr. Bergner. I '"I do not." said the witness. As to Weaning Mr. Affleck's objection was equally I drastic. Enough hotels exist, lie said, ! for the accommodation of the public. Nor was a license necessary, he added, and referred to the Commonwealth as an unlicensed place which "seems to be doing very well." Furthermore, Mr. Afljeck doesn't believe that Ger man. I'rench and other people who have been accustomed to having their beer and wine would suffer for the lack of it. . "Would you say that it Isn't a neces sity for our German people?" asked Mr. Bergner. "Well." returned Mr. Affleck grave ly, "I think they could be weaned." The grave danger, Mr. Affleck pointed out, lay in the fact that every I liquor sales place brings new converts to its cause. "As a manufacturer who has seen a I great deal of the results of this," went on the head of one of Harrisburg's biggest shoe concerns. '"l've seen so many instances where the liabit grew so upon men that they couldn't give It up. Tlic Business Mail's Viewpoint "Men who are employed as. travel- i ing salesmen are not being given the! same consideration if they are drink- ! ing men. Finns arc cutting out the drinking men more and more. The number of drinking men who are em ployed to-day is much smaller than the number employed twenty years ago." Mr. Bergner, incidentally, doesn't believe the newspapers and took occa sion in cross-examining Mr. Affleck to get his views on the subject before the ! public. In questioning Mr. Affleck as to whether he thought there is need for more hotels the attorney for Fish man asked; Naughty Newspapers "Do you believe anything you see In the newspapers, Mr. Affleck?" he asked, "or are you like myself—nelieve Both Ing you read In the papers?" Mr. Affleck admitted he believed "some things." S. C. Boyer said he thinks there are enough hotels and that he had never heard >iny demand for anything else than sleeping accommodations. And he had been dealing, he said, with traveling .salesmen for twenty years. Charles L. Boyer, an ex-poor di rector, followed. He, too, thinks there are enough hotels. "Why," smilingly inquired Mr. Berg ner, "surely you are not opposed to the sale of liquor?" A Joke—Kh. What? "Well, I should think you should know about that." grinned the man who was elected to the poor board on the Prohibition ticket. Following the hearing of the remon strance against the granting of a license to Samuel Fishman, proprietor of the Lennox, the hearings on the applications for rellcensing hotels In the county were begun with the con sideration of the request by William H. Bowntan for the privilege at the St. Lawrence Hotel, In Berrysburg. An attempt to license this hostelry last year failed. The next remonstrance, to be con sidered was the petition directed against A. P. Schaffstall, who wants a relicense for his hotel in the Smith building. Market street. West ward, Lykens. This was uegun late this aft ernoon.

WELLY'SWGORNER Central's victory over Tech last night brought many expressions of satisfac tion from local basketball fans. Much credit for the good work belongs to Coach McCord. lie has worked hard to get a winning team. The work of Central in the past six games was above that of other teams and a gen eral opinion prevails that in winning the scholastic pennant Central tossers did so because they played the best game. Waynesboro is making elaborate preparations for the game Friday night, when the Harrlsbutg Telegraph tossers meet the champion live of that pjace, the Alphas. Here is how they announce the game: "The Ilarrisburg ers are crack players, most of them are ex-college stars, but the Alpha club members are not uneasy, as they expect to coma off t he floor victorious." William C. Bruce, the big, red haired center of the Academy basket ball squad, was yesterday unanimously elected captain of the 1917 basketball team. Bruce, who is one of the most popular fellows in the school, will have a large remainder of this year's team to form next season's. With Moore, the Kort Hunter Hotel, Rockvllle, which had been filed by both J. Gar field Fackler, trustee for Walter C. Basklns. and C. E. Hoover, were not heard, as Hoover withdrew his re quest. No remonstrance had been filed against these places, but the question would have ben considered by the court because of the fact, that two applicants desired the place. Hoover having withdrawn. Fackler accord ingly lifted his license yesterday. Both the Grantville Hotel, Grant vllle,- and Shell's Tavern. Shellsville, were rellcenscd by the Dauphin County Court (his afternoon when At torney Harry Saussaman. counsel for the remonstrants, declared that he did not intend to push the objections against these hostelrics. Remonstrance Letters Useless Letters protesting against these sa loons had been written to President Judge Kunkel by Mrs. M. E. Mcll henny, Mechanlcsburg, a visitor at Shell's Tavern, and her objection was based on the ground that her brother, Thomas Llngle, got blxed up In a bar room brawl one time In the Shell's Tavern and struck someone with a chair. Llngle was convicted and fined. The sister declared both places ob jectionable, as she blamed her broth er's trouble on the liquor he had re ceived at these hostelrles. Mrs. Mollhenny, however, em phatically declined to come into court, and as the letters of remonstrance were not supported by evidence, the court declared that the objections fell. Mrs. Mollhenny is 65 years old. In apnlylng for a license at the St. JLftWi'Sncp, Beirj sbuig, W, ii. . Phillips. Shaw, Ttoss and several of the substitutes besides himself, he will have quite an aggregation to start the season with. Dartmouth tossers handed the Cor nell live one big jolt last night when they defeated the Jthacans, score 2it to 24. It was a sensational battle and the game was played at Cornell. This victory, it is believed, will prove a big help to Penn, now leading the inter collegiate race. Yale still figures that there is a chance to win out, hut Penn Would have to lose three games in order to get out of the running.
