ITCJJEHMANIS MOVE ON BLOCKADE THREAT; AMERICA HAS SPOKEN President and Cabinet in Important Conference Over Danger to Ships. No Further Move Ex pected Now by U. S. Goyernmont Stands by Warn ing That Germany Will Be Held "Acountable," While B6rlin Disclaims Responsi biliiy for Neutral Losses. WASHINGTON, Veb 19.-Amerlcn has spoken on tho German "war sonc." dor many has spoken. All that remains la for dormany to "do" something. Amor left declares It will hold Germany to strict accountability for what Is done. Ger many disclaims all responsibility on wlint happens In the forbidden areas. Loss of human life and property Is the Issue. America will hold Germany strictly re sponsible for harm to Americans. Ger many declares such, harm Is not of Its affair. If Americans wish to risk their Uvea In waters about Great Britain. Here Is tho attitude of the two Governments: If such a deplor able situation should arise- the Imperial German Government can readily appre ciate that the Gov ernment of the United States would be constrained to hbld the Imperial German Government to a strict account ability for such nets ot their naval author ities, and to take any steps It might bo necessary to take to safeguard American lives and property, and (o secure to American citizens the full enjoyment of their acknowledged rights on the high seas. Neutral vessels which, desplto this Rioplo notice, which greatly affecta the achievement of our alms In our war against Great Brit ain, enter those closed waters, will themselves bear the responsibility for any unfortunate accidents thut may occur. Germany dis claims all responsi bility for such acci dents and their consequences. The question revolves about the point s to whether or not Germany Is Justi fied In declaring a blockade. By un doubted Implication the American Gov ernment has refused to recognize tho validity of such a blockade. If It did. It would have no right under international rules to attempt entry Into the forbidden territory. The most important Cabinet meeting In many months was held today In Presi dent Wilson's library, and tho clean-cut lisiiu between tho United States and Ger many over the war zone declaration was the solo topic Tho prevailing temper of mind In Wash ington was that this Government would face the possibility of being drawn Into the European conflict If a ship be sunk. Moot officials, however, rcfuso to believe that Germany will permit any American chips to be torpedoed, because of the con sequences of such an act. Administration officials cannot And the slightest concession to the United States In the German reply to tho American pro test. They believe that It makes the warn ing, even stronger for all neutral vessels to "keep out of British waters. PRIZE FIGHTER QUITS RING FOR RELIGION Continued from Fare One today,. Not by picking up stones and throwing them at Him, but by their ef forts to lead people away from Him. "Even the devil admitted that Christ was tho Bon of God. Wo have to take our hats off to him for that. I have more respect for the devil than for some of those people who nrc stoning Christ to day " "Billy" declared there are three things that men and women must get straight on: "Jesus Christ was divine; Jesus Christ died on the Cross to redeem the world; Jesus Christ roso from tho dead." President Henry S. Drinker, of Lehigh University, heard the sermon, and after wards, asked the evangelist to visit ilia university and speak to tho students. Bishop Ethelbert Talbot, of the Diocese of Bethlehem, who was present for the first time and offered tho opening prayer, urged "Billy" to accept. Mr, Sunday told Dr. Drinker that ho would bo sure to set a date for Lehigh.. Bishop Talbot said, when asked what he thought of the tabernacle service and the evangelist's sermon: "It was wonderful. I was delighted with Mr. Sunday's magnificent discourse. If certainly la doing a wondorful work." Time and again during the delivery of his sermon Sunday hammered the pulpit terrific blows, stamped his foot down on the platform and shook his fists In the faces of the audience as he made his fearless attacks on those "who have de nied the Jjord." "A lot 'of those people who havo not come out for Jesus Christ are too big cowards to do so. They are not men enough to come up here and stand before the crowds and say that they are through with, the sins of this old world and here after will trot square and help to win the world from sin. Well, never mind, they'll et awake some day and come over to Jesus, but it may be too late when they sea their mistake. When they Bmell the sulphur fumes of Hell they'll want to run a different way from that they are going; now," declared the evangelist. Among the prominent guests at the tab ernacle today was Bishop Gthelbert Tal bot, of the diocese of Bethlehem. He offered a prayer Just before Mr. Sunday began to speak. "Diamond Jim" Brady, who visited the tabernacle for the first time early in the week, returned this afternoon, bringing with him ez-Maglstarte Henderson, ot the seth. Ward. Mrs. John Wanamaker, Mrs. Norman TluXeo-I, Mrs. Ralph M. Townsend and Mr. EJdgar M.

"REDDY JAKE" FOUND GUILTY OF ASSAULT MelincofF Convicted on the Tes timony of "Young Jack" Hanlon, Pugilist. "Beddy Jnke" Mellncoff, tenderloin character and gangster, was convicted of assault and battery on "Young Jack" Hanlon. a pugilist, today, by a Jury in the Quarter Sessions Court after nn hour's deliberation. Previously, Louis Blumberg, of 7th and Hodman, who wnn with Melln coff when tho attack was mado on the prize fighter, was also found guilty. Judgo Little deferred sentence on both men fol lowing applications for a nenw trial. Hall was refused In tho case of Mellncoff and the argument for a new trial will bo made Wednesday. Details of tho underworld feud between Mellncoff and Hanlon were prcsentod and caught eagerly by many men nnd women of the underworld, who doubted that "Young Jack" would squeal on "Ileddy Jake." Hanlon testified that he had left a crap gamo In a building at 6th and Vine streets on November 23, and Mellncoff and Bloomberg were standing on the step. He said that the two men brushed against him and felt his pockets for weapons, but ho had none at the time. "I walked to the corner," suld Hanlon,, "and said I guess you told Max JSura that I called him a stool pigeon," nnd while he was talking to me he cut me. Bloomberg, it was testified, was stand ing nearby with two revolvers. Jake then took one of the revolvers and handed back tho knife which he used to slash Hanlon'a face. Hanlon said he did not run becauso ho was afraid of being shot, but took off bis coat and declared his willingness to fight Mellncoff even though he had the knife In his possession. Assistant District Attorney Rogers derisively referred to Mellncoff as "a white-robed angel with a halo about his head," and In summing up his case to the Jury declared that the habit of gang sters and ruffians in settling their dis sensions themselves must bo stopped.

All through tho night there echoed through the corridors of the Camden Jail, tho heartbroken wail of a dog. It wasn't tho cry of un animal for food or drink Tlicro was something In the mournful howl Indicative of despair. Tho dull gray cells and Iron barred doors, coupled with the silence of tho night, no doubt told the dog for dogs can think that It was tho end of nil. He knew that In ono of these gloomy places his master, George Hcnkersen, whom he had not seen tor many days, was caged like an animal. He wouldn't greet htm at night as he turned the cor ner with his dinner pall. There would bo no moro friendly bones tossed on tho sly under the supper table. Tho run through the garden and the walk at night to the corner cigar store were over. No one understood the dog like Hcnkersen. There was something In common between them, a sympathy which would brook no Inter fere nc-e. This friendship started ever since Beans, as the pet was named, came to tho Hen kercn home several years ago. Ho Is a Boston bull, but his ugly face belles his nature. Intuition told the dog that his master wai In trouble when he saw n stranger cill a I the house for Henkeren. The lat tor's wife und child burst Into tears. That was several days ago. Then the dog scampered down tho street and gavo his master a parting lick on the hands be fore ho got out of sight. He returned gloomily to tho house nnd has been in melancholy mood ever since. Yesterday Henkersen was to havo been sentenced for assault and his wlfo and child started for the Camden courthouse to hear sentence pronounced, When they were two blocks from home they noticed that Beans was following. He was chased homo two or three times, but as they were entering tho courthouse thoy saw him at the bottom of the steps. He man aged to get Into the court room, but was chased out by angry men In blue uni forms. Fur somo reason Henkcrsen's case did not come up, and his wlfo and child left tho courthouse. Not Beans. He remained outside and set up a mournful cry. Henkersen heard him. He told the guards it was his dog and burst Into ears. Jailor Dave Loguc, who overflows with sympathy, told Under Sheriff James Hewitt, He, too. was touched by the dog's devotion. So he mado out a com mitment and Beans was committed on the charge of "disorderly conduct" and placed In a cell with his master. The dog leaped on the neck or Henker sen and tho corridors resounded with Joyous barks. Even the other prisoners iknew about it and the word went about that it was Henkersen's dog. When he was taken away many hands reached through the barred doors to give him a friendly pat. Beans had a good supper and a cot In an anteroom near that of the Jailer, He barked frequently to let Henkersen know that he was still around. But during the night he yearned to be near him and ha cried until sleep relieved hlnn VETERAN GIVES $5 FOR AID Unablo to Attend Sunday Meeting, He Sends Subscription.

Testimony In support of the plan to repeal the full crew train law was sub mitted lit an Informal hearing by the Transportation Committee ot the United Business Men's Association this afternoon at tho Hotel Bingham. The committee announced two weekB ago that it would hear evidence relating to the full crew bill and submit recommendation on the advisability of a repeal to tho meeting of the association next Wednesday. George II. Jackson, formerly a locomo tive engineer and now employed nt tho Baldwin Locomotive Works, declared tho full crew law should bo repealed becauso It was unjust to tho railroads. Thoy were paying for unnecessary employes, ho asserted. Jackson was questioned by Ed ward B. Martin, chairman of the Trnns portation Committee, and by Edward M, Abbott, counsel for tho association. "I'm not hero In the interest of the railroads or anyono else," Jackson said, "I boileve tho full crew law should bo repealed because extra brakemen ore not needed in theso days of automatic brakes and couplers. The railroads aro suffering an Injustice," A plea that the rull crew law operated at the expenso of unorganized railroad employes was made by James K, Linn, assistant statlonmaster nt Hariisburg for tho Pennsylvania Railroad. "The orga nized railroad men have won salary In creases since 1910," he said, "and a part of the money paid out has gone to extra brakemen employed under the full crew law. Meanwhile unorganized employes have been unable to obtain a raise In the scale of pay." He was asked if he had been Influenced by the railroads to testify today. "I am here In the Interest ot the unorganized employes," ho replied. "Wo began our campaign for the repeal of the law sev eral weeks before the railroads an nounced any contemplated action. How over, we have since decided to co-operate with -them. William R. Sadler, an attorney for the Pennsylvania Railroad, said the heavy payments demanded by the full crew bill had cut bo heavily Into the railroad sur plus that It was the primary cause of the plea for the Increased freight rates granted recently by the Interstate Com merce Commission. sure to receive painful wpunds. Then he settled down In his bathtub trench until t'ne enemy brought on. reinforce ments In tho way of three or four impudent terriers. Nolle of the conflict brought two police men to the scene, and they ended the battle and brought the stranger to the 4th and York street station. He said that he was Chick Evans, of nowhere In particular and anywhere In general.
