DISAPPOINTED IN LOVE GIRL TAKES BICHLORIDE
Exceptional Poisoning Case Based cn Story of Unrequited Af¬ fection Followed by Threats Whose Fulfillment Seemed Assured—Reported Cure is One of Few in History
CITY MEDICAL MEN INT ERESTED IN ODD CASE
Hovering between life and death for the past week. Ixina Smith, aged IM. of North Washington street, a waitress at a central city hotel, is now recover¬ ing ai the Mercy Hospital from a self- administered dose of bichloride of mer¬ cury. The young woman swallowed seven and a half grrains of the poison, a quantity which practically, without e,\ceptlon, tias In the past proved fatal to the victim.
The miraculous escape of Miss Smith Is a part qt a love story in which is mi.xed the name of .lohn Kenworthy. a well known young man residing on Wyoming street, this city. The two had been friends for six years, it is said, and when the friendship of Kenworthy threatened to wane, the young woman attempted  suicide.
The case of the Smilh woman has aroused unusual inierest among phy¬ sicians and others because of the re¬ covery being made. She Is still in a weakened condition, but her complete recovery is practically assured. The facts in the case make it the only one of its kind on the local medical rec¬ ords.
A Serious Case.
The woman was found in a critical condition in her room a week ago Kri¬ day. after ha\'ing swallowed the large dose of poison some hours previous. She was rushed to the Mercy Hospital. Physicians at the institution recog¬ nized the case as being almost hope¬ less, but nevertheless expended every bit ofener»y in their attempt to rivive the victim. In this they were success¬ ful, signs ot returning consciousness were evident after a day of continued treatment.
From the first the Smith woman was ^Iven liquid nourishment together with medicines that acted as an anti¬ dote. The poison had spread through¬ out her system, making the task ot effecting recover.v all the harder. The diet and the medicines gradually be¬ gan washing away the poison, and by degrees the condition of the pati;nt improved. After several days her strength began returning. Since then * her recovery    has been    gradual,    al¬
though she is still in a condition that although serious, assures a complete recovery in time.
Death   Seemed   Certain
Physicians claim tliat the duse of poison taken by the woman was suffi¬ cient to cause the death of the aver¬ age person notwithstanding treatment, but point to the heroic methods adopt¬ ed at the hospital as the onl.v reason for  the  recover.v.
Although strenuous efforts have been made since the first discovery of the girls condition to keep the facts in the case screened, the.v became known last night. The Smith woman has been in this cit.v only since last Ma.v. coming here from Boston. She resided here several years ago, however, and it was from that time that her acquaintance with Kenworthy dated. Her home is said to be in Albany.
At all times the two young people were constant friends and the.v were seen much together. Lately Kenwor- th.v, it is said, did not pay a.s much at¬ tention to her as she thought just, and the friendship of several other men was cultivated by her. In addition .she be¬ gan visiting central city cabarets with her new friends much to Kenworthy's dislike He urged her to remain away from these places of amusement, claim¬ ing that they were not proper for her. She continued despite his admonitions. His advice then turned to warning that boded evil for their friendship. Sensational Climax.
The climax was reached on Wednes¬ day night, Nov.  10.    Kenworthy enter¬ ed a cabaret in the central city and dis¬ covered   the   Smith   woman  at  a   table wilh several men.    Without a word  td{ her he left the place.    The woman saw! his look of disdain and vainly followed I him to the street in an effort to reclaim ! his friendship.   When she failed in this she returned dejectedly to her room on Xorth Washington street.
On  Thursday  Kenworthy  received a letter from the woman  in  which    3he begged  forgiveness.      If this  w.is  not (Continued on   Page  Three)

FATHER ARRESTED
Washington, .Nov. 20.—"I am for pre¬ paredness and am for it strong. I am prepared fo support il in a non-parti¬ san manner" said .Minority Floor Leader  of  tho  House  Mann   today.
The statement by M.-. Mann followed close upon the heels of an announce¬ ment at the White House that the President had invited -Mr. Mann and Senator Oallinger lo confer with him ul  the  general  legislative  program.
The invitation was sent by the Presi¬ dent in accordance wilh the idea of fighting for preparedness along the line  of  non-partisan  lines.
Wilh Mr. Mann's espousal of military preparedness and the coming oul of Speaker Champ Clark yesterday wilh an assurance that he believes in ade- qnte defense* measures. Representative Claude Kitchen, majority leader of the House, ia left as the only party leader of either house of Congress who op¬ poses measures for the purpose of strengthening the country's defense
Kitchen said that the Democrats might flnd themselves embarrassed when they come to raising money for nny program of defense.
Republicans Co-operate. "I am not willing to lake orders from the President," Mr. Mann said. "I am willing to confer wilh him. T believe the consideration of preparedness should he a non-partisan quesiion. On such a basis he will find Republicans ready to co-operate. But the Presi¬ dent need not look for that form of co¬ operation which would consist of swallowing whole any program ho sends up to Congress. The President has the habit of giving orders to Demo¬ crats on legislative measures. I do not intend  to take orders ia  that  way.
"Imbecility and incompetency", said the Republican leader, characterizing the conduct of the Democratic party. He said the Democrats by themselves are nol able to work out a progr.im or any other comprehensive legisla¬ tion.
Need   Republican   Brains "Not  only  do  they   need   Republican votes   ,but   they   will   need   Republiian brains  before  they  gel    through",     he said.
.Mr. Mann said his mind was still open nbout the degree of preparedness the country needs. Whether he would favor a greater or leas measure of de¬ fense than that outlined in the Presi¬ dent's plan, he would not say. He .said he had not yet considered the President's plan and therefore could   not   make  comparisons.
"The President is not Congress iior is he the country" he added.
.Mr. Mann refused to comment on Mr. Kitchins intended opposition of the administration's plan and as chairman of the Ways and .Means committee he will bo called on to provide for 'he ciuick consideration of the measure Iherefore refuses to discuss other members's actions.

Mahan Leading Factor in Crimson's Overwhelming Victory Over Blue, Cambridge Warriors Piling Up Second Larg¬ est Score in History—Scores Four Touchdowns and Kicks Six Goals ^
FIFTY THOUSAND PERSONS SEE YALE DEFEATED41 TOO
(By Oamon Runyan.)
Cambridge, .Mass., Nov. 20—Tom Shevlin's i^elebrated psychological punch was about one hundred and flfty miles too short. It carried from Min¬ neapolis, Minn, to .New Haven, Conn, with such force that it rocked Prince¬ ton. N. .1. with great violence but there its effect ended. It never touched this town. It wasn't even swung at Cam¬ bridge, Mass. Ill fad, there is a strong suspicion abroad in this cominiinilj toJiight that Vale which was supposed to be the custodian of the Shevlin psy¬ chological punch mislaid it along with all its other punches.
Percy Haughton. who yearly con¬ trives wavs and means for defending the gridiron of Cambridge with fair Harvard a.s his agency, had gone to a great deal of trouble to figure out a guard againsi the psychological punch, hut by the end of th- first period of the Harvard-Yale football game ibis af¬ ternoon he discovered that be diil not need a guard. All he needed here was a full back.
¦dward Mahan supplied that need. He supplied it so well that P. Ilaiii;h- ton had enougli full backing left over to stiM-k another seascrn  or two.
.\s the shades of night enwrapped Soldiers fleld and f'amljridge and Bos¬ ton and the Stale of Massachusetts generally, the .score stood 41 to 0. And, as there seemeil to be no further puo- lic demand for scoring and no good reason to cut Mahan loose again and causing him a lot of unnecessary ex¬ ertion the boys knocked off nnd called it a full union day.
One Larger Score.
Statistics prove thai this wa.i the largest score, with but one exception, ever made by one side since Harvard and Yale began enjoying football re¬ lations some forty years back.
Fifty thousand persons were re¬ marking on this as they left the field In 1884 Yale Bested Harvard by a score of 48 to 0. But that was under the old_ scoring system and it is quite reason¬ able to suppose that Harvard had no Kddie Mahan a I that remote period.
Last year with an Kdward .Mahan. Harvard beat Yale .^6 to 0. nnd that stood as the next best mark until today.
This was Kddie .Mabaiis last foot ball game as    a     Harvard    collegian.      He
stretched himself over enough of it to
j cover the history of the gridiron for the
I next .">0 years.    He made four out of six
touch downs and kicked five goals from
touchdown out of a total of six chances.
! It was aboul as remarkable an exhibl-
jtion  of foot  ball  playing as was ever
.>-een on an.v  field.
A word here about Kddie Mahan is In order     He is  25 years old.     He stands five feet, eleven and a half inches on the Soles of his feel, and weighs 171 pounds. Kvery ounce of that   poundage  was in tiction  today.    He carried   it    through, over  nnd   around   and  about   the  psy¬ chological-piinclile.ss     Yale    team    for twenty-nine points out of a total of 41. Mahan a  Wonder. Mahan is a rangy fellow with a knee ! action  like a   race  horse.    Once  under ' way if is almost impossible to stop him. j Wilh a liall tucked iinuer his arm. he is j kin to the well known irresistible force. It   must   not   be   imagined   that   Mahaii 'was all ;ilone in hi.-- efforts today, for he I was   merely   an   important   cog     in     a j ureal   ma<-hine.  but  the   noi.se    of    his j working   could   be   heard   .so  distinctly (.above the roar and rumble of lhe olher I parts  of the  machine  that  he is enti- i tied  to a separate niche in   this    nar¬ rative.
King and Harte and various other pla.vers stood out. but Mahan—he was .Ma hun. ! There are but few .Viahans in the I run of the old game. It is doubtful ' Ihat even had Yale packed the phycho- j logical punch along to Cambridge it I would have availed anything.  Hai-vard

!A pBjthoIogical punch is a grand thing, but general all-around all-fired competency—and Kddie Mahan—is a I very different difficult combination. I Sometimes Harvard played one kind of foot ball against Yale lo-da.v. Then .-¦he would try another kind. Then again thev would try still another brand. Vale was in the position of a fighter who gets hit in the stomach at the flrsl punch and then is hil there again every few seconds, witiiout ever having a chance lo recover from the first blow.

SEPARATE ENEMIES
Washington, Kov. 20.—The White i House this evening made public its so¬ cial program for the coming winter season. This has been awaited with great interest as it marks the resump¬ tion of the .social activities which were suspended at the death of Mrs. Wilson. The program discloses the solution adopted by the White Hou.=e of the peculiar difficulty which exists at pres.- enl in entertaining members of th<= diplomatic corps. It will give two dip¬ lomatic dinners, instead of one. In thi.s way it will separate the diplomatic representatives of the belligerents. Furthermore, in place of the brilliant diplomatic receptions there will bo a pan-American reception to which all repre.sentativeB of the pan-.^mer'can and neutral countries wil l>e in^^ted.

BELIEF IN GERMANY IS
Kaston, Md.. Nov 20.—A tale of cruelty unprecedented in the annals of this section is being unfolded to tho grand jury in its investigation of charges against Frank Marshall, n farmer living near St. Michael's, whose daughter. Grace, now 1'8 years old, was discovered some time a prisoner in a small room in which she has been con¬ fined since she was 16 years old. The woman is now nothing but skin and bone  devoid  of mind.
The charges have heen made by Miss H^mma Davis, local agent for the Chil¬ dren's .\id Society of Maryland, backed up by John Hancock of Wilmington, Del., an uncle of the girl, who made the discovery of her plight while on a visit to the Marshall  farm.
According to the information so far elicited, the girl was locked in the room twelve years ago for disobedience to her parents. She escaped by jump¬ ing out of a window. Her leg was broken. She was taken back into the house and the leg was set. but the surgery was faulty and the limb is now four inches shorter than tke other.
Her lAolher died some lime later and her father was married again. A sister of Grace died. Il is stated that the impression was given that the dead child was Grace. No one ever knew it  was not  until this week.
Hancock came to visit Marshall .««ver«l weeks ago and when he went to bed he heard pitiful groans. His insistence to know the cause revealed the truth.

Rome. .Nov. 20—Rumors reaching Home tonight tell of the diplomatic maneuvres by the Skouloudis cabinet in Greece to gain time and postpone a decision. In Italian circles where Greece's territorial aspirations never have been contemplated with satisfac¬ tion or indifference it id predicted King Constantine's answer will be unfavor¬ able lo the allies.
My own opinion is thai being ab¬ solutely convicted thai the allies can¬ not worst Germany but will themselves be signally defeated on land, for the sake of France, Belgium and Serbia, to conclude peace without carrying the naval warfare to extremes, the King of Greece will feel still drawn toward his   brother-in-law's   empire.
And I entertain no doubt he will give way to that attraction unless its ob¬ vious imminent and Irrevocable con.se- quences lo himself, his dynasty and country are sufficiently baleful to not as an effective deterrant.
The circuitous byways followed by the Held marshal of the Prussian army who governs Greece In her dealings wilh the Allies, convince me this fore¬ cast is flawless. If the Serbians ate to be ground to powder, as now seems likely, a policy ostensilily friendly to the .Allies and essentially subservient lo the KaLser's designs is undoubtedly to be followed. If he had allowed the Greek nation to discharge Its debt of honor to Serbia, the belligerents would be wholly different today. On the western front the Teutons would he contained. On the eastern they would he subjected to the exhausting action of a Russian offensive and the severity of winter weather.
Against the Italians, too. ihe Teu- on sruggle would have been arduous and  enfeebling.

Chinamen Arrested and Under Heavy Bail Are Accused of Harboring Children of Tender Age and Prosecution Will Be Pushed by Police for a Clean-up
ONE GIRL UNDER FIFTEEN YEARS MAKES ESCAPE
.\fter nine monlhs' work of gather¬ ing evidenct by the Hazleton police, two Chinamen, Charlie Lee. aged 7.'>, a wealthy laundry proprietor, and Joe Lee, aged 24. also a laundrymaii, are under arrest in that cil.v charged wjth making their establishments dives for over a dozen girls of tender age. A hearing scheduled for tomorrow may have to be postponed because of the mysterious disappearance of the prin¬ cipal witness, Juli.i Utitas, aged 15, of McAdoo. The police have been unable to secure any information concerning her whereabouts since FYiday when she was Jast seen.
The laundry of Charlie Lee on East .Mine sireet was raided Friday after¬ noon. Shortl.v after that the police swooped down on the laundry eatab- llshment of Joe Lee on South Pine street. A half dozen girls were found In each place. Bolh men were yester¬ day held under $1,000 ball for a hear¬ ing tomorrow.    The older man secured
fbail while his co-iefendant was com¬ mitted to the lock-up although other Chinamen from other cities including Philadelphia offered lo post checks covering the amount of bail.
The girls who were arrested range in age from 16 lo IS years. The youngest was il^ rtitas girl and she had the most revolting story to tell. They were all permitted lo return to their homes In Hazleton and vicinity. All of them did so, with the exception of the young¬ est and she has been missing since tlRi time she left the police station.
The   Hazleton   authoritieH  have   sus¬ pected the  places of the Chinamen as being  dives  ever  since   last   April   but were   unable   to   secure   sufficient   evi¬ denece to make raids.
