Rose Curcio Says Her Father Chases Away Her Fellows With Ball Bat. “Her Shattered Romance,” a mov= ing picture scenario in three parts with “Old Man"” Louis Curcio of No. 29 Locust street, as the scheming vil- lain; Rose, his daughter, as the lov- ing heroine; wife, as the two character actors and Officer John J. King as the gallant man of the hour, was concluded in po- lice court this morning when Judge James T. Meskill imposed a fine of $10 and costs on Louis and him on probation for the disturb- ance he caused at his home last Sat urday night. The only character missing from this interesting scenar was the heroine’s brave lover, wek when threatened with annihilation by the villain proved him to be anything but brave so he is dismissgd as unworthy of her heart and hand. !

Introducing Her “Steady Friend.” ‘“After working hard all week I went to Keeney's last Saturday night with my ‘steady friend,” said the girl, “and when coming down Arch street on the way home at 9:3 o'clock me and my friend met the ‘old man.’ He folowed us all the ways home and when we got there I got in the house and my friend got in with me. The ‘old man’ waited in the hall and when ‘my steady friend’ went out he jumped -on him like a wild Indian. #He struck him two blows. One knocked his hat off and knocked him down and with the other he tried to kill him. When my mother butted in the fellow got up and with= out saying a word walked away. The ‘old man’ then hit my mother twice but before he could hit her the third time my brother pushed him aside and he fell: down.” .No. Wooers Welcome. “I was to have been married two or three weeks and before I had told my ‘steady friend’ he must see my mother and and get their consent and he did. Always the ‘old man’ drives every fellow away that comes tosee me. He hit one fellow with a baseball bat once and said he intended to kill him Saturday night.” After painting her father in the blackest manner pos: ble Rose ceased to speak and court room again showed signs reviving. Officer King told of being called to the' Locust street house at 11°o’clock Baturday might. Curcio was accused by his wife and daughter of breaking down the door and chasing his spouse with a knife, so he placed him under arrest. Frank Curcio told of the in- ternal disruptions at the home, too. When these two witnesses had fin- ished testifying Rose announced. to the court that her mother would ar- rive as soon as she had finished dress- ing the Iittle ones, but Judge Meskill had heard enough and the much railed against father was called to the stand. He denied the allegation and said that on Saturday night his son, daughter and wife attacked him on the side- int this that father | of e 0 BB 000 e s HAIR COMING OUT? ] PSRRI — | Dandruft causes a feverish tion of the scalp, the hair roots shrink, loosen and then the hair comes out fast.

They never got beyond the question of whether or not there had been a promise or “contract” to mar- ry. On the first ballot at noon Thurs- d the vote was eight to four for the plaintiff. During the afternodn a. bal- lot resulted in a vote of nine to three for Miss Ryan. After supper Thursday night tae vote showed ten to two in the wom- an’s favor, but two hours later the ballot stood eight to four, just where they ,were when they started. After breakfast yesterday a ballot stood eleven to one, hut later ballots showed more against the plaintiff, and the final ballot is reported to have stood ten to two. Foreman Holds Out. Tt is said Foreman Everett Morss voted against Miss Ryan on every bal- lot, that except on ballot Juror Dennis A. Tolland with him. During the long hours of delibera- tion the jurors kept constantly at their task of convincing each other, 1lie majority holding that a promise to wed had been made by Mansfield and at times during the night their ices were rajsed in angry Dpitch audible outside. The matter of amount of damages was not reached, but it is stated, that had it been discussed the award would have been small, not anvwhere in the neighborhood of $50,000. While the jurors were practieally forbidden to talk about their session the wife of one, Dnnis A. Tolland of 1% Concord street, Charlestown, did not feel involved in the admonition of silence for she said last night: Iy husband felt all along that tyan was to blame and that she ought not to get any money.

It must come from each juror conscientiously. T hope for the sake of both parties you may agree.” At 12:22 they were back again and it was apparent from their expressions that they had not been able to reach an agreement. Judge Fessenden looked at them carefully for a moment, then remarked. “I gather from your faces that there is no pros- pect of an agreement.

The clock in the grammar school announced the passing seconds last night to an audience that sat dumb stirred to the reproaches of a “They Many of traced and immovable, yet depths, the voice speaking the cause of Who Knock at Our Gates.” those that heard the voice their descent from those who came to America as immigrants in the “May- flower.” The voice was that of Mary Antin, Russian immigrant, forced to live in the slums of Boston for econ- and who struggled the narrowness under omic reasons, against the prejudice, and the conscious unconscious hypocerisy of Yankeeland. With the thousands of her kind behind her giving her inspiration to deliver her message, she spoke with an earnest- ness that was terrible. a sincerity which was only too apparent. She had been told that 75 per cent of the population of New Britain is classed by the statistics as foreign, as immigrants or the descendants of im- migrants. The remaining 25 per cent has been given the name ‘“‘American,” and insists on the distinction. People who come across the Atlantic now as third-class passengers are looked upon by some as inferior to the “glorious™ forefathers of pre-revolutionary days, whereas, said Mary Antin, the only reason they did not come in the steerage was because the Mayflower could boast of none. Persons who have a claim of priority upon any country always designate newcomers as ‘“nferior. Exactly the same cry was raised by ° Governor Winthrop, who originated the idea that we must restrict immigration to this country because only the riff-raff of England was settling here. Mary Antin asid that we have no right to restrict im- migration until there no longer is standing room in the country. The Melting Pot Idea. Mary Antin revealed her whole philosophy and gave the key to the immigration ,problem when she sald that the twenty-five per cent. are neglecting their duty as Christians when they turn away from the heath- en that come to their doors. It's a great deal cheaper, she said, sarcas- tically, to send money away to foreign lands to teach the heathens than to give a little help to the that come to our doors, eager to learn. Her big and salient idea was partly that expressed by Zangwill, the fusing of many peoples in a sort of giant cauldron to make all true Americans. Her speech, however, was unreport- able. It was something to be enjoyed, to be analyzed—if one has the capaci- ty and the time—but a literal report of her message would spoil it. She combined mosaics of philosophy, a woman's reflections onh social, moral, political and economic problems, stor- ies of her experiences in the Russian pale, in the slums of Boston, in the suburbs, wthout aparent logical se- quence and with torrential speed, with a wealth of simple expressive gesture and with a directness that sent the message to each member of the audi- ence with all its force. Some of the features that stood out were her sentiments on “salvation by percentage’”, the story of ‘“Lizzie picking an education off the cucumber ure of iigration vine,” the description vine " the description of the adven- ture of immigration, and her plea for the admission, not so much of more immigrants into the United States, as a plea for the admission of those already here, into the kingdom of American citizenship and fellowship. Not An Exception, She Says. She did not want to be pointed cut as an exception and have it remarked, “If only all immigrants were like Mary Antim,” because there are thou- sands better than her. She was helped and was given a chance, and others accomplish more unaided and in spite of the prejudices they must fight. “Call them Jews, Dagos, Polaks—call them what you like—their story is my story. I am only a voice” she pleaded. She showed how we judge the Pil- grim forefathers by a few shining characters who stood out above the general mass, how George Washington and some of the real patriots almost despaired of raising an army in New England to gfht for liberty, and asked for the same judgment on the immi- grants who are coming to the United States now, asserting, however, that we are getting the pick of Europe be- cause it requires men with backbone to come here and fight for existence. Speaking on the question of assim- ilating those who come to the United States, she reproached the *“25 per cent” for forcing the immigrants into camps, saying , “remember t is im- possible to assimilate with yourself.” She threw the responsibility of the im- migration yproblem upon the shoul- and the duty of jurymen is about Ighest privilege known to law. jurymen cannot ask a question udge of the highest court in the world cannot ask vou what went on in the jury room. If you once begin to talk it means the beginning of lots of an- noyance for you.' While Judge Fessenden was talking tn the jury just before they went back to their room for the last time, Mr. Ceakley, attorney for Miss Ryan, arose and said: Since the .jury ig unable to agree in behalf of my client I am willing to waive a jury trial and leave the entire matter to your Honor, Attorney Sullivan objected to these remarks in the presence of the jury and Judege Fessenden instructed them to aisregard comments of either counsel. the The foreigners | | in The | Women's New Blouses for Spring Top Coats ity at $3.95 to.$5.95. wards.

If a bar is to be placed on immi- gration, the United States would soon realize her mistake. “I give warning,” she said, “that there arc no barriers that will hold against people who march in the name of their natural rights. You can’t keep them back.” She made reference in the recent address of Guy of Brockton before the Common- wealth club, and urged that New Brit- ain do as Brockton has done, “invite the immigrants into the Kingdom of American Citizenship.” L.
