War

Before they stand upon their feet
We give them swords and soldiers gay,
And at the game of war they play
We bend the twig of humankind,
Yet marvel if the trees inclined.

That life itself is one long fight.
This worlds battlefield, we teach;
Business is war-a common speech.
We bash our brother on the nose,
Yet weep if nations come to blows
Our poems and pictures books and plays
The doughty deeds of warriors praise.

Are echoes of the ancient strife

CONVICT ENSM|NCER
AND NURSE; THEY
ASK FOR NEW TRIAL
Sealed Verdict Returned to Judge
Kunkel at Opening Of
Court Today

After celebrating for five hours Sat-
urday night March term criminal
jury convicted Dr. John T. Ensminger,
Jr. well-known druggist, and Miss
Martha Osten, trained nurse, of seri-
GUS charges growing out OF the phar-
macist's marital infidelity.
The verdict was returned, sealed, to
President Judge Kunkel at the opening
of court this morning.
Ex-District Attorney John Fox
Weiss, chief counsel for the defense,
asked for an extension of time in
which to file reason for new trial.
Judge Kunkel directed counsel to
make the application to Judge john
son, Union Snyder district who con-
Quoted the trial while specially pre-
siding in Dauphin quarter sessions In
the absence of Judge McCarrell last
week. Mr.. Weiss will make his appll-
cation to Judge Johnson in writing

be allowed, the transcribirg of the tes-
tlmony will be undertaken at once.

nurse was found guilty does not neces-
state jail sentence, but a miximum
fine of 500.

a new trial will be granted sentence
was not imposed to-day.
The Ensminger- Osten trial excited
widespread interest throughout the
city In view of the standing of the de-
| PENDANTS. The trial lasted several
days and some of the high-lights of
the testimony was the evidence
of pretty Mrs. Fred Long. She
occupied the same apartments with
Miss Ostend. Additional interest
attached to her story in view of her
own rather recent appearance in court
in divorce proceedings against her hus-
band. She told a tale at that time of
having been spanked by her husband
with hair brush-business side up.

irving at verdict. On the first bal
lots the twelve stood seven to five for

Boys Catch Messages
on Wireless Station

An indication of the inventive genius
Of the younger generation is seen in the
erection of wireless apparatus by
several boys Of Harrisburg and it's
vicinity. One of these is Jack Hart,
son Of Lane 8. Hart, of Duncannon,
who has been interested for some
time in the erection of a wireless sta
tion on the top of his home at Dun
cannon. His aerial is sixty-five feet
high and being located on the top of
hill, great receiving range is OBJ
tained. He is at present increasing
the height OF one aerial mast from
thirty to fifty feet and with this inn
provement he expects to send great
deal farther and receive anything
within radius OF three thousand
miles. At the present time he can
only send fifteen or twenty miles.
Young Hart Is at his station every
night and hears anything and every
thing from press reports to weather
forecasts. Some of the places he has
heard from are Arlington sending
time signals, New London sending
Block Island weather reports, the
John Wanamaker New York store.
Sayville, Long Island and in clear
weather Tampa and Key West.
He is not able to send very far as
his transformer only draws $50 watts
and the United States government
only allows 1000 watts. Other bows
interested in wireless in town are

DIR. HASSETT ENDORSES
CURFEW LAW URGED
by CITY CIVIC CLUB
Leading Catholic Rector Of Harris
burg Says Measure Should
Be Passed

Endorsement of the proposed cur
few law being urged for this city by
the Civic Club of Harrisburg was given
to-day by the Rt. Rev. Mgr. M. M
Hassett, rector of st. Patrick's Ro-
man Catholic Cathedral, State street
The curfew ordinance will be pre-
sented to Council tomorrow :. in all
probability.
The Rev. DR.. Hassett was given a
copy of the proposed measure on Sat
urday and he said to-day a written
endorsement from the rector will
reach Moyar Royal and the Civic Club
to-day.
"I am heartily in favor of any
movement that has a tendency to help
the children. Keeping them off the
streets at night after certain hours
prevents them from coming in con-
tact with evil associations and brings
them closer to home life and to their
! studies. Boys and girls should be
! looked after when young. 1t is the
early influences that help the child
In adult life.
''I believe the ordinance as prepared
is moderate and will meet every re-
quirement. The punishment is not Sc
we're, but nevertheless just heavy
enough to remind parents that they
have an important duty to perform
and that they must do their part in
the bringing up of their children. A
curfew law is a movement in the right
direction and / hope the ordinance
will pass"
The proposed curfew law provides
that all children under sixteen years
of age be off the streets at o'clock.

and when the accident occurred and
whether or not the expedition would
be abandoned, especially as the party
was so far from a base where new
equipment could be acquired.
The news of the mishap came in 2

spectacular march against Torreon,
which began last Friday, was nearing

tween his army of $4,000 and the ac-
tual siege of Torreon. At no point
does the rebel leader expect to meet
strong resistance, unless it be at Lerdo,
short distance north of Torreon. Re-
ports are that a more or less formid-
able garrison of Federals has been
placed by General Fefugio Velasco in
Lerdo, to check the Constitutionalists.
Cerro La Pila, huge mountain
which oyerShadows Gomez Palacio and
which is supposed to be fortified by
the Federals, Is the only other mat
ter of concern to General Villa, but
he does not believe that any consider
able body of soldiers would detach
themselves from the main army at
Torreon, more than three miles from
the mountains. With the possible ex-
ception of the reported garrison at
Lerdo, defending party on La Pila
would have. no support, and General
Villa believes it would have to fall back
on Torreon after long range defense
with the big guns which are said to
be planted on the mountainside.
Villa is confident that only few
more hours and little fighting will pass
before his army is investing Torreon
