painters and paperhangere have com
pletely rennovated the home.
When it became known that the
Harrisburgers, who in past seasons ;
have been tenants in the Block sum
mer home at Mt. Gretna, were advised
that the cottage would not be avail
able to tenants during the summer of
1915, that fact was made the basis for
matrimonial reports, yet the license
tax officer waved the inquisitive away.
City Commissioner William L Gor
gas, who has supervision of the tax
collections and, in other words, is Mr.
Block 'e "boss."' was surprised this
morning when advised that the license
tax collector was about to marry. Mr.
Gorgas like other city officials, had
heard rumors of the wedding during
the last several days, but Mr. Block,
he said, never mentioned the subject,
neither did he ask for a leave of ab
aence.
One story is that the honeymoon
will be an extended two weeks' tour
of the South. Mr. Gorgas said he would
not have denied a request for leave if
the license tax officer had asked for it,
end he added that MT. Block's failure
to ask foT the "vacation" at this time
will not cause any serious inconven
ience.

guardians for insane and feeble-mind
ed persons.

By AitociateA jTtfil.
Seattle, Wash., April 16.' 1 ' That's ;
all humbug,' said Colonel M. Perez 1
Romero, recently appointed Carranza |
minister to Japan and brother of Mrs. i
Francisco Madero, widow of the late i
President of Mexico, last night, when |
shown a copy of a statement issued in
New York yesterday by General Vic- j
toriano lluerta, former provisional pres- '
ideut of Mexico, disclaiming responsi- j
'bility for the death of Mr. Madero.
"Disregarding the questiou as to •
who actually shot President Madero,
the fact remains," said Colonel Romero,
"that General Huerta was in power and |
could command the armed forces of the :
country. President Madero was his pris- 1
oner and while in his power was assassi- 1
nated. How Huerta can attempt to!
evade res onsibilitv for his death is in
conceivable. ''
LATE WAR NEWS SUMMARY
Caatintirtl From Firm I'ait
from the French Ministry of Marine
says that a railroad bridge near St.
Jean D'Acre was destroyed.
Unofficial reports from Hungary De
scribe a battle in the Carpathian region
as a result of a German attack on Kus
sian position. The collision occurred in
the section betwen the Stry and On
dava rivers, and the Germans are said
to have been beaten back. The German
official report of to-day states that the
situation in the east is unchanged.
A dispatch from the Italian frontier
says Italy now has I ,*J<KI,O(K) soldiers,
fully equipped, under arms. The people
and government still hope, however, to
avoid war.
Last night's Zeppelin raid resulted
in considerable damage to property, al
though so far as is known no lives
were lost. It is announced officially in
Berlin that the airships which made the
first raid returned in safety.
Although no great battles are in
progress with the exception of the pro-:
tractcd struggle on the 115-mile front
between Bartfield and Stry, in the Car
pathians, active operations are elng
undertaken over Increasingly wide sec
tions of both the eastern and wef.em
fronts. Official reports from Paris re
v 1 a resumption of hostilities in
Northern France, particularly in- the
neighborhood of Arras.
In the east, the Russians have taken
up the attack along the Warsaw front
after the long winter lull. They claim
the < apture of a village near Sochacew,
about thirty miles from the Polish cap
ital. In the vicinity of Ossowitz, near
the Prussian frontier, lighting also has
been resumed.
Holland is stirred deeply by the
sinking of the Dutch steamer Katwyk,
beinp a cargo consigned to the govern
ment of The Netherlands. The Dutch
marine ministry after an investigation
expressed the opinion that the vessel
was sunk by a Germaii submarine.
The suggestion has been made to the '
French Ministry of Marine that each j
ship of the allies sunk by German sub-!
marines be replaced by a vessel of cor-1
responding size from among the 278
German vessels detained in French
ports. The French government has
taken the suggestion under considera
tion, although it is explained that the
consent and co-operation of Great
Britain would be necessary.
A ZEPPELIN RAID
CLOSE TO LONDON
raatlnurd From Ftrat Pave.
North Sea. Count Zeppelin is said to be
directing the movements at Cuxhaveu.
Within :s<( Miles of London
London, April 16, 10.38 A. M.—At i
least two Zeppelins raided the counties j
of Suffolk and Essex early this mom
| ing and dropped bombs within 36 miles
| of London, but so far as material dam-
I age is considered, the attack of the
! Germans was less successful than on
I previous occasions. A large number of
j bombs were dropped on towns and vil-1
lages but no loss of life resulted.
The number of airships which took I
| part in the raid is uncertain, but it ;
assuredly was more than one, as at- j
; tacks were made within a few minutes :
I of each other at points seventy miles j
apart. The first was on Maiden at
12.20 a. in., by a Zeppelin, which pre
viouslv passed over Buruham arid
South Minster. After dropping bombs
at Maiden the airship turned north
and let fall more explosives at Hey
! bridge. It may have been the same
| craft seen at 1 "o'clock flying over
I Harwick in the direction of Ipswich.
A second attack was made between
I 12.30 and 12.45 a. m. on Southwold,
I ten miles south of Lowestoft on the
; North Sea.
Damage Done By the Bombs
At Lowestoft, where three bombs
1 were dropped, a lumber pile was set
| on fire, three horses were killed and
many windows were broken: at South
wold, several bombs were drop
; ped, railway trucks were tired; at Mai
den a house was struck, but only
slightly damaged; at Hey bridge sev
eral bombs were dropped but no dam
age has been reported.
A telegram received from Mulden,
in Holland, says the Norwegian steam
| er Dag, came into that port this morn
ing and reports having sighted a Zep
pelin airship at 5 o'clock at a point
15 miles off the Dutch coast. The air
! ship was headed ih the direction of
Germany and is believed to be one of
the invaders on her way home.
French Drop Bombs in Baden

i French aviators dropped bombs near
! Krotzingen and on Villingen and

WARFIELD AS AUCTIONEER'
DELIGHTS A BIC AUDIENCE
Noted Actor Brings Charm and Humor:
in a Homely Story of Life on the
East Side of Hew York, in the Ma-j
jestic Theatre
I
I
David WarfieW and an excellent j
I company charmed a crowded house in ,
| the Majestic theatre last night in !
| "The Auctioneer," the three-act com
! edv which is the present vehicle for i
j this line actor's talents. While in some !
I respects "The Auctioneer" does not 1
i measure up to the "Music Master,"!
j in which, perhaps Mr. VVartield mot his
greatest stage succAs, it is a play of !
■ rare humor mingled with pathos.
"The Auctioneer,'' in brief," is the
j story of the life of a Jewish merchant
I who made a success of business in
| Hester street, then sold out his stock
and, with the members of his family,
moved to the comparative grandeur of 1
a retired life in a pretentious Lexing
ton avenue home. The brief period of
idle luxury into which "Simon Devi's"
family and friends entered, terminated
abruptly when "Simon's"' brother,
"Isaac," defrauded him out of $32,-
000, the whole of "Simon's" fortune.
"Simon" moved back to very mod
est quarters in Hestef street, and de
spite his advanced years, started life
all over again peddling "monkevs-on
a-stick" in the Twenty third street j
shopping district. It was there one
day that he ran across his brother.
" Isaac, " whom he had arrested and i
whom he forced to vindicate a youth i
upon whom suspicion of the fraud had '
rested.
" lsaac L " who hail become prosper
ous in his pawn broker's business, made '
restitution of part of the stolen money
but "Simon" and his group of friends:
were satisfied thereafter to live in mod j
est Hester street among their own peo
ple.
The play depicts in a remarkably
realistic way the conditions of life on '
the East Side of New York City and !
the acting of .Mr. Warfield, as * 4 Si- j
j mon," was especially true to life there. I
He was particularly clever when he
acted the part of the peddler on Tweii
ty-third street. The whole cast was
strong* the work of Jennie Moseowitz,
as'"Mrs. Levy," and of Marie Bates,
as "iMrs. fiagan," being particularly I
worthy of commendation.

damage suit in which 'Mrs. Ijulu O'Brien

Both parties are married and resi
