GUNMAN WHO RECEIVED
DEATH PENALTY TOLD
OF GANG'S OPERATION
Peter Melba, Alias Krakus,
Hanged at Wilmington,

Crooks After Crimes.
WILMINGTON. Del., May IB. If Wil
mington authorities are right, the story
of Peter Melba, allnB Krakus, who was
hanged yesterday for the murder of Po
liceman Francis X. Tlerney. Is not yet
ended. The Wilmington chapter closed
when Melba or Krakus paid the penalty
yesterday for killing a policeman here.
Melba's assertion on the scaffold that he
belonged to a gang with which the police
In Boston and New York were connected,
wbb not the first of that kind ho had
mode. At various times he had Insisted
that he was a member of a gang In which
the pollco were interested, and Bald he
knew every gunman wife had been impli
cated In a shooting or nfmurder for years.
Speaking of his corffiect'on with this
gang, ho remarked that In tho end they
all would be captured.
"Four of Becker's children have been

will soon'followthem. -Mlllenv up In Phil

W,as Missing With Husband
After Lusitania Went Down.
The body of Mrs. Harry J. Kesor, of
this city, a Lusitania victim, was Iden
tified today, after being recovered last
night and taken to QueenBtown on a tug.
She was the wife of the vice president
of the Philadelphia National Bank, who
alBO went to his death on tho liner.
The finding of the body was the first
proof that her son, Floyd Keser, a Uni
versity of Pennsylvania freshman, would
accept as indicating that either of his
parents had died In the catastrophe. Ho
heard the news at the Keser home, 6618
North 12th street, and Immediately started
arrangements for having the body
brought to this city for burial.
Two Camden men, Charletj A Palmer
and Charles Cross, were victims of the
disaster, the Cunard Lino Informed

HORSE DASHES .AT FULL

Huckster Found Dying After Run
away Is Stopped.
A horse attached to a huckster's wagon
dashed down Ridge avenue this morning
and was stopped just as It, was about to
bump Into another wagon. The driver
was absent, and Policeman "Weckerle led
the animal back toward the northwest to
find tho missing man.
He lay on tho car tracks unconscious.
At the Hahnemann Hospital It was said
he was dying. It was found that he was
Benjamin Omikan, of 310 North American
street, who has a wife and nine young
children.
Just how the accident happened Is not
known, but the police say It Is probable
Omikan was dozing and fell between th
horse and the wagon, which had passed
over him His skull was fractured and
several ribs were broken The hucksters,
who leave their homes early n the morn
ing, usually fall Into a doze when the
wheels ot their wagons settle Into the
tracks on Ridge avenue, tor the horses
know the rest of (be way to the wharves.
Omikan evidently had this habit.
STAOEB OF JVOT'S ROUTE
FROM WILBON TO KAJBER
WASHINGTON, Hay IS. The ne
cessity far repeated handling and
the" circultousness of the -American
note's route Jrom Washington to
Berlin were responsible for the mes
sage's delay in teaching Its des
tination, State Department officials
said today.
These were, tlie various transfor
mations and hands through which
it had to pass:
Coded in WaaJilnfffon.
Sent by telegraph from Washing
ton to New York.
Cabled from New York to Havre.
Relayed by telegraph from Havre
to Rome.
Copied by Ambassador Page in
Rome.
Telegraphed from Rome to Vi
enna. Relayed by telegraph from Vienna
to Berlin.
Decoded by Ambassador Gerard
and presented personally to For
eign Minister von Jagow.
Transmitted by Von Jagow to Im
perial German Chancellor von Beth-mann-Hollweg
and by the latter to
the Kaiser,
The presumption was that the
Kaiser tcould not act on the com
munication without consulting all
his chief advisers, including the
heads of the various German States,
WASHINGTON, May 15.
Suspense concerning Germany's attitude
toward America's uncompromising opposi
tion to submarine warfare, except as ap
plied to warships, will continue at least a
week. Officials today pointed out that It
would be useless to look for an answer
short of that length of time. It may be
longer, however, the principles Involved
being so far-reaching that the Kaiser and
his advisers may be depended on to ex
amine all precedents before framing any
reply
At 7 o'clock last night, the President's
note to Germany had not reached Berlin,
Notification to this effect reached the
State Department from Ambassador Ger
ard today.
The congestion on the telegraph lines
from Rome to Berlin Is said to be re
sponsible. The State Department learned
that the note had been sent from Rome
at 3:45 o'clock yesterday.
The text will probably reach Berlin from
England before the official version can
be dollvered to the German Foreign Office
The Secretary of State was extremely
anxious to avoid this, having delayed
publication of the note in this country 18
hours after It was sent out.
Official Washington has turned Its at
tention to the probable contents of the
reply. With the realization that this
Gpverntnent's action Is now irrevocable
and commits the United States before the
world, a feeling of relief was evidenced
In official quarters.
Counter proposals which Oermany may
make to the United States are being wide
ly discussed In Washington today.
The proposal which is receiving greatest
consideration in responsible quartersJs
that Germany will agree to discontinue
submarine attacks on belligerent mer
chantmen provided the United States re
fuses to allow any passenger ship leav
ing American shores to carry munitions
of war,
This proposal might seem to the Ameri
can public and tho American Govern
ment a reasonable one and might be
come the basis of an agreement between
the United States and Oermany. It la
pointed out that Great Britain could not J
reasonaoiy oDject to tnis course of ac
tion on the part of the United States
without alienating American sympathy
from the cause of the Allies.
In many circles here It is believed that
