RASHINSKEYS ARE BACK IN DRAMA, "PAID IN FULL" This Is Not a Theatre Advertisement, But a Story of How Mrs. Baahln skey Objects to Way Her Husband Makes Out His Checks The Rashiuskevs. lectins and Sarah, were in court this morniug just as they have been many times before, and they made things so lively for Judge Kunkel and the court attaches that very little other business was transacted. The ceuple have been estranged for several years an.l rhe quarrel to-day concerned Louis* liability to maintain his wife and the several little Rashinskeys. Back in 191», Sarah alleges Louis got behind in his payments. After a lapse of several mouths he resumed making regular remittances of $2.30 a week.

Sarah brought suit agaiust tfce bondsman. Louis w-as ready and willing to an swer his wife's charges that he now is back in his payments wvhen the case was called this morning.

"The banker will not cash theui." On each check laouis had marked "paid in full." whereas the w-it"e de nied that they represent full payments. C*he scratched out the words "paid in full" and then it was. laouis' attorney said, that the bank refused to "honor nhe checks. Judge Kunkel disposed of the case by dismissing the defendant on the ground that no evidence had been produced to substantiate the contention that he is in default. So Sarah ami Louis depart ed, Louis "bv a back door and Sarah by a front door. "Good night." mumbled the District Attorney, as they departed. ROW GERMAN SHIP TRIED TO SLIP AWAY FROM SAN JUAN New York March 29.—How the Germau steamer Odeuwald tried to slip out of San Juan harbor March 21 with out clearance papers and how she was stopped by American guns at a harbor fort were told in detail to-day by offi cers of the steamer Brazos, which reached here to-day from Sau Juan. The Odenwald they said, had been taking on coal and provisions for sev eral days. As she sank deeper in the water, men in boats alongside painted the water line higher on her hull. When she tried to get out the fort fired two shots from a rapid-firing gun. These were disregarded. A seveu-inch gun threw a projectile so close to the Odenwald's bow that the spray it kicked up spla?i»ed on the steamer s deck. That ended the attempt and the Odenwald returned to her anchorage. German agents of the Odenwald. the Bra-os' officers were informed, had asked the customs house for clearance papers, but they had been refused. LATE WAR NEWS SUMMARY CMtlaard Prom First Paget yesterday. Although the struggles be came violent at times no accomplish ments of importance are claimed at Paris or Berlin. From Petrograd it is reported that the Russian Baltic fleet has been rein forced. London interprets this an nouncement to mean that four and possibly eight dreadnoughts which were under construction have been put in commission. German troops In the north of Pol and have returned to the attack, cen tering their movement in the region of the Skwa river near the Prussian border. An official announcement from Petrograd says that the Germans failed in an assault made with a di vision of infantry and that the Rus sians, advancing in turn, compelled their opponents at one point to aban don their first line tTenches. The claim is made also that further south on the Pilica river, German forces were put to flight. The Petrograd version of the fight ing in the Carpathians represents that victories have been won at several points, giving the Russians access to northern Hungary. So far as is known, however, no considerable movement in this direction has been inaugurated and Vienna insists that the Austrians have gain ted success in the mountain fightng. Some of the Turkish forts at the Dardanelles were bombarded yesterday by indirect fire from the gulf of Saros, but the warships of the allied fleet did not attempt to enter the straits. Two French battleships damaged in previous fighting proved to have suf fered so severely that according to a Paris dispatch they are to return to France and be put in dry dock. Italy has decreed a strict censor ship on military news, beginning March 31. A Paris newspaper pub lishes an unverified report that Aus tria has agreed to cede part of Trent to Italy at the close of the war, in re turn for Italy's neutrality. CAN'T KET WILSON HERE Central Democratic Club Has Trouble Getting Jefferson Day Speaker While the Central Democratic Club is going ahead with the preparations to hold its Jefferson Dav anniversarv banquet, at a time not "yet fixed, its members have received an invitation from the Jefferson Club, of Philadel phia. to attend the anniversary Jeffer son Day banquet in that city on April 13, and the club will take'action on the invitation at.its next meeting. The committee of arrangements of the Central Ciub is not without hope of obtaining some speaker o£_national repute to attend its banquet as its guest of honor. It has thus far receiv ed little encouragement in its efforts to get President iFilson or a member of the Cabinet heKe. It has been repre sented to the dob's committee that at present President Wiison cannot leave Washington because of eomplications in the Europe and the situation in Mexico, and for the sime reason the President does not wish any of his Cabinet members to be absent*. It is thought that some Democratic Senators from one of the Eastern Stales can be obtained for the ban quet here. The committee will make another effort to get a speaker from Washington and with that in view will visit that city next week. HARRISBURG STAR-INDEPENDENT. MONDAY EVENING. MARCH 29. 1915.

The revolver and candy were given to an old man, it was testified. After spending the night of Decem ber 13 in an old passenger car, at Hummelstown, the two boys went to the hay baru, owned by Walton. Pre viously they had viMted the Hummels town fire house and had discussed the possibility of "making a little excite ment" with a lire on ''such a wiudv morning." One of the boys wanted to '"get even with Waltou" who. he declared, owed him some money, so after lighting a cigarette he dropped the lighted match into the hay. The witness said he smothered the lire aud that the other boy subsequently dropped another lighted matcn. Then both ran into Humaielstown and turned in the tire alarm. "We both went back to help to fight the tire," the witness added. The de fendant wanted to make it appear that his father "compelled him to smoke a pipe."' The parent said his advice to the boy was against smoking i igar ettes, "But if you must smoke, then smoke a pipe.' l Promises to Stop Smoking The boy promised the court to "cut out" smoking, go to work and attend Sunday school. A similar promise was obtained by the court from a "wee bit of a lad'' who was up on a truancy charge and who, a pMVsieian said, is "stunted" because of cigarette smok ing. The youngster admitted that he "bangs cigarette snipes," that he finds lying alolig the street. The youth is one of six children in his family and like others of the chil dren, physTHans said, he may have tu bercular trouble. He was absent from school something like eighty-seven days of one term. lie. too, was paroled. Upon the advice of his physician. Judge MeCarrell returned to his home immediately following the disposition of the juvenile cases this morning. He is suffering from a cold. His condition to-day, however, was a marked im provement over that of last week. PLANNI¥COIISiNERS DIVIDED 0NJ27.000 PLOT I'eitliutd From Flmt P«irr. there is a possibility of the $27,000 ordinnuce being approved by the Plan ning Commission as a whole after its members view the site. The Planning Commission stamped | its approval on tb* measure providing I for the purchases of two plots of grouud for the continuation of the Cameron Parkway—one from the Pax tang Cemetery Association and tJie other fropi Amos Knders. The plan, of W. S. Harris for plotting a strip'of | ground adjacent to the new Reservoir Park entrance, a' Whitehall and Twen ty-first streets, also was approved. In confirming those plans, however, the Commission did so with the pro viso that no twenty-foot wide alleys— on which houses could" be erected—be provided. The Commission holds that they either must be ten feet wide — which would prevent building thereon. —-or forty foot wide streets. Members of the Planning Board joined the park officials in their re quest to have representatives of the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad Com pany attend a conference at which plans are to be discussed incident to providing a subway or culvert beneath the railroad tracks where the proposed Cameron parkway is to be-built. The Planning Commission's failure to act on the playground ordinance, which already has been passed on first reading by the City Commissioners, is one of the reasons that the ordinance will not be passed finally to morrow. Commissioner Harry F. Bowman will not be present at the City Commission ers meeting, it being lr 'ntention to at tend the funeral of his wife's uncle, John Ortti, wnich will be held in Read ing to-morrow afternoon. The City Commissioners inspected the proposed playground site this aft ernoon.

The club house, which is a typical log cabin, is situated on a ranchlike tract of land, near Charter Oak, Barn township, Huntingdon county, that be ing about ten miles from Petersburg. The several tracts of timber and farm ■and, on which options have been ob tained and which it is planned to bu/j are adjacent to the ground which has been acquired. The members of the association all are experienced anglers and since a trout stream flows through the club's ground the o.lubmen concede it to be the logical place for a private reserve.
