The bill proposed to let the peo

perfectly willing to embrace in the

when arguments In ihe case wpre re
sumed today. frfoJBfy-'f ffigt ft \ 'Vj
"Tlils man bettayet} ' and testified
against the woman 'who had laylshed
i money and lore on htm." declared
Attorney Boyce when he tooktk^ tne
argument where he bid left off yes
terday afternoon. /'? ' 1
Mrs. Schenck came into edlirt on
tltn aftocnth day of her trial looking
worn and haggai*. The county tail
officials said that aha had triad all
through ' the night and had aarurad
practically no aloap. 'I '},?

waa glad that har ordeal was nearly
OTef.
" "I pA got UK to ho (rood," ahe aald.
"and then I win go hack to my chil
dren. 'Oh. it has been horrlbW.1*'
When Boyce resumed his argu
ment he said that It would n4t take
long to conclude and It Is believed the
the case will go to the Jury before
night.
Far the first time since Judge Jor
dan-issued his order forbiddtag the
attendance of women at the trial, a
woman waa present today. She waB
Miss Annabel Sharp, representing a

ucuucmen, i B^y, as every oilier I
man in thU corfntfy who has red
blood in his veins "Would say, that
John Schenck has the Ood siren right
to kill on sight the squirming worm
that betrayed Mrs. Schenck.
Again referring to Mrs.
Aagain referring to Phillips, Boyce
exclaimed:
"Thank Ood In Heaven that Dan
I lei Phillips has left this court room
and may heaven Interpose and never
allow him to enter Ohio county
again."
I Mr. Boyce took up the testimony
of Chaffeur Lundy Wilson, ridiculing
it then declaring that if Mrs. Schenck
had been the crafty, deceiving wife
that she was pictured by the state,
she' would not have confided in Nurse
KJine. . i
I "If thlB woman had been guilty of
poisoning her husband why did she
not confide that to Wilson?" demand
ed Mr. Boyce. "According to this chaf
feur she confided ho'r relations with
Phillips to him. Would not the oth
ter admission have been made?"
? Attorney Boyce completed his ar
gument at 10:50 o'clock when a
short recess was taken. Mrs. Schenck
seemed cheered by the words of her
I counsel.

Minute Men to appeal to Congresh.
Washington. Jan. 24. ? That vice
and Immorality among th?T boys and
girls of Washington are on the In
crease. *due to undesirable acquaint
ances formed on the streets at nitht
and the laxity of the police regula
tions governing tfie sale of liquors
to minors -were the charges made by
speakers at the Curfew Club of the
District Jfttt night. ,'. .??? . ?!.
The speakers declared that unless
remedial legislation is forthcoming
the future welfare of the communtty
Wlit be seriously threatened.
Between 30 and 40 impromptu
rneaksrs gave personal testimony as
to the alleged coalitions confronting
the youth of the national capital.
Girls were declared to be more de
linquent tban the Juvenile male pop
ulation.. The pmctice of young girls
of tender years wandering about the
streets at night, seeking undesirable
acquaintances for the hcur only,
tending toward a general loosening
of the moral standard, and the ac
cess of the young to drinking resorts,
which is so easily gained, were the
chief causes advanced for the rapid j
decline In morality.
Drinking was chiefly responsible
for the downfall of young men, the
speakers declared, and the police,
were blamed for "inefficient and fee
ble" attempts to enforce the law.
Mothers testified to their inability jo^
keep their children within doors at
night and the Inclination of girls to
run the streets.
As preliminary steps toward reform
It was decided to inaugurate "Curfew
Sunday" In Washington on the first
Sunday in February. Preachers In
all parts of the city wll be asked to
choose this topic for their sermons,
and a committee of "minute men"
will be formed to urge legislation up
on congress looking to an abatement
of such evils through the ostabllsh
; ment <lf a "curfew law" for boys and
| girls under 16 years old.
