"You can't charge me with that," Mr. Hennesy told Magistrate Jacob H.

Jordan yesterday. "I'm not home half the time to take care of them. It's her job. I bring home good food and she won't fix it. I been talking to tiiat woman and talking and talking." In retaliation, Mrs.

Hennsy declared her husband put her and the children out of bed and they had to sleep upstairs where there were no beds. Magistrate Jordan insisted he was not interested since both must tell their troubles in Children's Count, but each had a word to add. Mr. Hennesy said his wife left him in September and had returned without invitation. Mrs.

Hennesy asserted their children were barefoot and now had "nothing to wear or anything." Miss Cuddeback also appeared against Mrs. Jennie Elliot, thirty- three, on a vagrancy sharge.

CENTRAL THEATRE Goshcn Tonitc and Tomorrow JAMKS CAGNEY in the "FRISCO KID" 7:15 anil 9:00 4 to Tonigh and Tomorrow I On The Other Hand The Cavalry of 193G Early risers in Chester got a glimpse yesterday of the second squadron, Tenth United States Cavalry. There were no horses In the detachment but there were one motorcycle with sidecar for the ser- jeant in command and one huge toring car in which four troopers rode.

The detachment parked on Main street and, while a few spectators gathered, the troopers raised a metal rod over the touring car. Then they established radio communication with eleven other mobile units which had started rn a field test from West Point. That touring car, except for its slightly greater size, kahki color and satlery of machine guns, resembled -he ordinary touring automobile. But weighed 9,000 pounds, exclusive of two machine guns, one antiaircraft gun and other equipment. Its sdes and fenders were made of quarter-inch steel and it would have been an.ideal vehicle for the safe i ind sane motorist who must tackle Route Seventeen week end traffic.

With its gross weight of more than six tons and its virtually dent- proof metal, that armored car would make mince-meat of any ordinary automobile or truck with which it came in contact.

Fizarro and the Thirteen One of the most dramatic events in the early history of South America is recalled by the two centavo Peruvian stamp of 1935, which has been overprinted "Pro Desocupa- dos," for the benefit of the unemployed. In the year 1522 an old soldier was living on a small hacienda near Panama.

He was a gnarled veterai of fifty-one winters who had carried his cumbersome armor and heavy arqueguse over the mountains and jungle trails of the New until his skin was burnt black by the blazing sun and scarred by the arrows of lurking Indians. Long years of faithful service in the army of the viceroy had brought him neither gold nor promotion, and now he lived quietly on his ranch, raising a few lean cattle nnd fighting over in his mind the campaigns of his youth. The name of this old soldier was Francisco do Pizarro, and if his comrades had been told that one day he would be the most famous of the conquistadores, they would have laughed incredulously. A good man to carry a pike and obey orders, this Pizarro. but he had never distinguished himself in the army.

Why, it was even said that he had slnrtc'd life as a humble swineherd in Northern Spain, and everyone knew that he could neither read nor write. Besides, he wns nn old man now, whose fighting days were over. And KO when the word passed around the taverns of Panama that Pizarro and his friend Diego de Almagro had formed a partnership to seek for the fabled gold of Eldorado, the mirth of the inhabitants knew no bounds, and the two old Rraybenrds were chnffed unmercifully as they, walked about the streets. But somehow the partners managed to borrow money enough to out two leaky ships, and by many golden promises and endless glasses of brandy, they enlister: a crew of ragged scoundrels to man them They little knew that they were setting out on nn adventure that was to Jast for eight long years. In the long slow journey southward, they were repelled by miles of des- olute coast, and their progress inland was blocked by inpenetrable swamps, where men waded up to their knees, cursing the black flics and the arrows of unseen Indians.

And when the wounded swelled up and died in agony, the explorers knew that the arrows were poisoned, and turned back in despair to the coast. do to follow him, while those wh preferred to return home defeate could remain where they were. One by one, thirteen bronzed an toughened Spaniards ranged them selves by the side of their indom itable leader and watched the oth ers sail away to Panama. For sii months longer Pizarro and his thir teen die-hards barely kept alive by eating crabs and sell-fish: then th long-delayed Almagro arrived wit! recnforcements and the compan once, more turned their faces south ward. The subsequent story of Pizarrc is the usual tale of Spanish cruelt5 and oppression.

He captured and murdered by treachery the Inca Atahaulpa; nnd the triumphan Spainards stripped the temples o. their treasures and rode along the old Inca highways with their horses shod with gold. Quarrels and dissensions later broke out among them; Almagro w. garroted in a prison cell by the orders of Pizarro; and finally the grim old conquistador himself was murdered in the streets of Lima by some of his own men. well that a stamp pictures Pizarro at the lowest ebb of his fortunes, alone on the barren island of Gallo with only his thirteen loyal followers around him, when his great qualities as a leader still shone with undiminished luster.

A Paris dealer recently sold 1 000 000 United States two cent Columbian stamp to to a New York Dealer. The Paris dealer had the stamp in stock for over thirty years. And so perhaps it if the Peruvian postage Firsl Ecuadorean Interna- Philatelic Exhibition has Here Pizarro decided to encamn on the barren island of Gallo until Almagro could return from Panama with reenforcements and supplies. For months the starving soldiers scanned the horizon in vain for a glimpse of the white sails of Almnp.ro's ship. Some of the men mutinied and were sent back to Panama in the one remaining boat The others managed to survive until the long-awaited vessel finally arrived.

But it was not Almagro. The ship had been sent out by the governor with orders to take every man back to Panami--and command Pizarro to abandon the expedition. Sick at heart, the old captain saw jhis him, raw his famishixi men figlitinir for places in the boots that were to a them aboard the caravel nnd i buck to Panama.
