JOHN K. TENER MAY COME HERE FOR BIG BASEBALL OPENING—AMUSEMENTS
Charles E. Hughes Urges 1
U. S. to Send Army Abroad
New York, May 2. Ex-Justice
Charles K. Hughes roused a large I
audience to wild approval last night |
when he insisted that, as soon us'
practicable, American troops be sent
to the front in France. Considera
tions of military prudence must not
be permitted, he said, entirely to en
gulf those of sentiment—both must
have weight in a war for the pre
servation of democracy.
"if America is to have the respect
of the nations of the future and earn
it now, she must earn the respect of
the men in the trenches, and the men
wc sent must be men so fitted, so
ready to do their part, so representa
tive not only of the courage and of
the sentiment, but of the trained
ability of America that every man,
French or English, serving with them
will take away with him pride in
the colors, and a deep and abiding
respect for the flag we love," he said.
"And if we put a small force, thor
oughly trained at an early day in Dig]
lighting line, let us do it: let us show
that wo are going to light as quickly!
as we can light effectively. That, it I
seems to me, is a necessary word oi l
the hour."

Are you interested in the subject of
birth control?
It is a frank question, but
'•Her not necessarily ya discon-
I nlinrit eerting one. Medical socie-
Clilld" tics, women's clubs, public-
ists, sociologists all are
to the fore in discussions, pro and con,
of birth control. Police have raided
in various uities the meetings of wo
men urging a propaganda for the dis
semination of information on this sub
ject and the court trial of one of its
most prominent advocates has been
set.
Announcement is made of the pro
duction of "Her Unborn Child," a four
act drama by Howard McKent Barnes.
It. touches 011 an important angle of
this question and is said to handle it
intelligently and delicately, yet vig
orously. The play will be presented
at the Orpheum for be
ginning next Monday, with daily mati
nees.
"Experience," George V. Hobart's
modern morality comedy-drama,
which William El
"lCiperienef" liott, F. Ray Com
stock and Morris Gest
will present at the Orpheum, week be
ginning Monday night May 14, with
matinees Wednesduy and Saturday.
"Experience" is considered the great
est success of this generation. It will
be the first time this play has ever
been presented in tnis city. The
famous eastern "Kxperience" organi
zation. with its cast of eighty-two
characters, will be seen. In ten bril
liant. scenes "Experience" vividly tells
the love story of Youth and the temp
tations he meets in quest of fame and
fortune. Mail orders are now being
received and will be tilled in the order
of their receipt, and immediately sent
out. The regular seat sale will open
Monday.
"Just the tonic needed to enliven
the mind and make one forget his
troubles" is the way "The
At the Four Husbands" is describ-
Mujestlc ed. This attraction has the
distinction of being one of
the smartest and ./brightest musical
comedy tabloids seen at the Majestic
this season, anil during the entire per
formance the audience doesn't experi
ence a dull moment. The engagement
of Pietro, the celebrated piano ac
cordionist, in Harrisburg, is always
the signal for n large outpouring of
theatergoers. Pietro will head the
list of attractions booked for the last
half of the present week. Other acts
on the bill are: The Kials. excellent
comedy jugglers; Hert and Harry
(iordon, presenting their big laughing
hit, "Tiie Inipreesario and tlie Novice;'
the Cycling Brunettes, in an excellent
bicycle act, and one other Keith at
traction, which will be announced
later.
George M. Cohan's love for the
American llag, as set forth in numer
ous songs and plays, is
l.nst Day not professional. In ad-
Kor Cohan dition to his many other
at Regent achievements, George
M. is often referred to
as "the best press agent for the
American llag" the country has ever
known.
When Mr. Cohan announced, several
years ago. "Broadway Jones," a plav
minus his singing and dancing;, yet
even without an American lias:, vari
ous doubtful ones wondered if it
would go over with the public. Some
of the more bolder acquaintances ap-
I proached him on the matter, but
Georsre XI. had decided to put his best
efforts into something different. The
result is a matter of theatrical history
and "Broadway 'Jones" was conceded
| by every New York critic, the biggest
; hit of the season. And so, with this
l same determination and energy he has
; finally entered the motion picture fold
and that he has already added thou
sands of new admirers to his immense
following can easily be understood,
j To-morrow and Friday the Regent
I will have as its big feature Marie

I "Castles For Two."
"Captain Alvarez." the new Vita
graph feature, with Edith Storey in
the leading Vole,
Edith Storey which is showing at

to-day and to-mor

every lover of romance and thrills.
The story deals In a highly dramatic
fashion with a young American who
falls in love with an unknown girl
and follows her to Argentina, where
he becomes mixed-tip in a revolution
lie takes the name ntf Captain Alvarez
and becomes greatly feared for bis
daring adventures. The big scenes of
the play comes when he escapes from

He Killed Student in
Home
By Associated Press
Christiansburg, Va„ May 2. The
trial of Professor Charles E. Vawter,
charged with murdering Stockton
Hetli, .Jr.. entered into the second day

pleas of the "unwritten and selt
deefnse. Prospects were that both
; Mr. and Mrs. Vawter would be called
to the stand before court adjourned.
The defense also outlined by At
torney Colhoun, In his opening state
ment to the jury, was that Heth had
been a frequent visitor to the Vaw
ter home at Klacksburg, Va., and had
often treated Vawter with liquor.
Vawter, after finding his wife in a
compromising situation with Heth,
more than one protested both to Mrs.
\ awter and to Heth, and an agree
ment was reached whereby Mrs. Vaw
ter was to avoid Heth and Vawter
was to quit drinking.
But on the night of March 13, ac
cording to the defense attorney, the
\ awters returned home from a thea
ter and found Heth awaiting them
with intoxicants. The partv drank
and retired. Later Heth came to the
v awters' bedroom with the liquor
and they drank again. Vawter ac
cording to the attorney, awoke about
.1 o clock in the morning and found
Mrs. Vawter absent. He ran into the
hall and saw her entering the room
of the little Vawter boy. He ran
downstairs for a revolver, followed
by Mrs. Vawter, who remonsstrated
with him. Returning upstair he met
Heth on the landing:. There was a
struggle and he shot Heth.

mended whose work is above grade
in the school work.
Undergrads Respond
Among the seniors there is a
movement to join the military or
ganizations, while with the under
graduates the tendency is toward the
farm. In some sections practically
every lad has promised to go to
the farm, and if work is secured at
once there is a probability that some
of the classes will be almost de
pleted.
The sentiment at Tech is to place
their services above all other activi
ties of the school. It is likelv that
the track meet that is scheduled
for a little later in the season will
have to be canceled, because of the
trend of the students to the farm
and the army. Those who had sign

Demand Increasing
The demand for garden plots in
Harrisburg is increasing daily and
to date more than 275 plots in
various sections of the citv have
been given out by the Agricul
tural Committee of the Chamber
MAY 2, 1917,
of Commerce. Work is progressing
so rapidly that the agricultural com
mittee has found it necessary to ap
point James A. Smyser, a teacher in
the Central High School to assist
Shirley B. Watts, superintendent of
the distribution and laying out of
the garden plots.
Donate Another Plot
Superintendent Watts announced
this morning that the Harrlsburg
Realty Company, had donated
another plot of ground 4 5x85 feet at
Reel and Wiconisco streets. This is
the second large plot of ground in
Walnut .street opposite Reservoir
Park, for the use of the Chamber of
Commerce. These plots will be
staked off as soon as possible and
will be ready for distribution before
the end of the week. Superintendent
Watts also announced this morning
that more ground will be staked off
at Cloverly Heights and that there
are still more plots to be given out
in the Hellevue Park section. These
two plots will accommodate the Alli
son Hill applicants. He also expects
the grounds donated by the Harris
burg Realty Company to take cure
of the up-town applicants.
Will Place Workers
At a meeting of the agricultural
committee of the chamber, late yes
terday afternoon it was decided thai
the ChaTiiber of Commerce, for the
Pennsylvania Committee of Public
Safety, will take complete control
of the system of placing schoolboys
and those under military age, not
otherwise employed, on Dauphin
county farms.
The placing of High school boys
was the principal question for dis
cussion. Superintendent Sliambaugh,
of the county schools; Professor Dib
ble, principal of the Central High
School; Professor Fager, principal
of the Technical High School, and
Superintendent Dowries, of the public
schools, have promised their sup
port and co-operatic.n in the work.
After considerable discussion it was
decided that High school boys will
be placed on farms on the following
terms:
I—-A wage of $1 per day for
boys sixteen years old and 75 cents
per day under sixteen vears obi
ipcludlng board and lodging.
2—Not more than eight (8) hours
or work per clay to be required dur
ing the first two weeks' employ
ment.
3—No work to be required on
Sunday, except necessary chores.
4—Leave of absence, if request
ed. for two Sundays and two Sat
urday afternoons in each month.
The following persons were pres
ent, at the meeting: Donald McCor
mick, E. D. Hilleary, Martin H.
Nisley, W. B. McCaieb. \V. S. Schell
William Jennings, F. U Wright and
the following educators: Professor
P. E. Downos, city superintendent of
schools; P. -E. Shambaugh, county

cation of the State Department of i

U. S. Warned of Economic
War That Will Follow
Declaration of Peace
Washington, May 2. • Administra
tion officials have Dcen iold by mem
bers of the British and French mis
sions that, despite reports to the con
trary, German industries turned out
for two years after the war began
enormous quantities of nonwar mate
rial, to bo dumped into the world'f
markots when peace comes.
As a producer, it is asserted, th
German to-day is worth two Ameri
cans. For cheapness of production it
is contended that the Germans will
compettt with the Chinese. If defeat
ed, Entente Commissioners believe,
Germany will turn all her attention
to the field of economics, trade and
manufacture and take fevenge upon
lier present enemies through these
channels.
The French Koverr/ment Is said to
have proof that Germany Is now con
struct it>K merchant fleets to earry out
the commercial program after the
war. This is in direct conflict with
reports of returning American offi
cials and agents.
A member of the French mission
said that Germany must be treated
fairly after the war or there will be
cause for another disturbance of the
world's peace.
