Washington Expects Kaiser's

U, S. Note' in Silence
WASHINGTON, May H. mclft c
eeptance by Germany of responsibility
for torpedoing; the channel liner Sussex,
coupled with unofllclal ndvlces that Qev
many accepts tho terms of the latest
American note on the genera,! submarine
Issue, have served to clear Rway the ob
stacles which threatened the Rood rel.v
tlons between the two countries. Gtr
many's assumption of wrong-doing In the
Sussex case Is regarded s full and Anal,
so that the case will be closed when the
amount of Indemnity duo Injured Amer
icans" has been determined.
As to principles, tho two nations arc In
entire accord now that Germany admits,
that a German .torpedo hit the Sussex In
violation Of assurances given the United
States, expresses regret that the Incident
occurred and announces that the offending
submarine commander already has been
puh'lshed,
It Is understood here that Berlin wilt
not answer the latest note from Secre
tary Lansing making plain that tho
United States accepts Germany's assur
ances of abandonment of former methods
of submarine warfare, without a con
tingent understanding as to the manner
in which .this country shall deal with
Great Britain. Tha acceptance of the
latest American note by Germany In si
lence will be taken here as the full acqui
escence of that government In the position
taken by the United States.
The State- Department Is disposed to
grant n reasonable tlmo for Germany's an
nounced abandonment of objectionable
"submarine methods to become effective.
In accepting the German assurances as
made in good faith, officials point out
that perhaps ten days or two-weeks may
be necessary, to get the changed ordera to
all German submarine commanders. Grant
ed that Die new ordera were Issued May
4, the date of the German note. It wou'd
therefore bo possible that not all com
manders have as yet been apprised of the
changed rules. This observation was made
las a reasonable explanation of reports
of continued submarine activity. In some
Instances against neutral vessels. But
officials made It vcry'plaln that a very fow
days more would be considered as com
pleting a reasonable time within which
Germany could establish the good faith
of her promises.
U-BOAT COMMANDERS
RECEIVE NEW ORDERS
BERLIN, May 11.
All German submarine commanders
have received the latest orders transmitted
by the Admiralty at the direction of Em
peror William, It was officially announced
today. German officials are therefore con
fident that any further errors that might
lead to complications between this country
and .the Untted .States will be averted.
Publication of the American noe accept
ing the recent reply to. the "ultimatum.
President Wilson removed the last linger
ing Reeling of tension here. ' The belief
prevails in oniciai circles mat an clanger
of complications has been removed. This
belief Is reflected In the Boerse, where
prices are higher than for several months.
As comparedV.wlth previous trading, condi
tions may almost be said to be
"booming.
Some of the newspapers declarethat the
axchange of notes resulted In a victory for
Germany, but the press In general Is In
kilned to let the communications speak for
themselves.
Commenting on the statement In the
document that the United States could
not accept any conditions affecting the
protection of the lives of Americans, the
Lokal Anitjger says that President
Wilson is demolishing a man of straw
Kith this statement.
The other morning newspapers refrain
from comment, with the exception of Die
Post and the Tageszeltung, In which lat
ter newspaper Count von Reventlow ex
presses by Implication the hope that
Germany's ''expectation" really amounted
to a. condition.
Both the Lokal Anzelger and the Zel
lung am Mlttag regard the note as ac
ceptable fo .Germany. The Zeltung am
Mlttag, commenting on the American
answer under the caption, "Wilson's Final
Word," says that the German-American
crisis with Its danger of a rupture is now
. thlrig of the past.
Tho paper la not altogether pleased
nlth the manner of expression, but says
that that Is unimportant.
Tho Zeltung am Mlttag points to the
Sussex case as an Indication that Ger
many Is prepared to act uprightly and
assume, tha consequences whenever it Is
Wrong.

BERLIN. May'fl, The Cymric tor
pedoing not only will cause no new com
plications between the United States and
Germany, but will permit no American to
challenge the good faith of the German
U-boat commanders when the facts are
fully known. It was stated here today.
Officials refused to comment today on
the sinking of the White Star liner other
than to say that no report would be re
ceived from the submarine commander for
several days. They said, however, that
such, explicit Instructions had been given
the submarine? that there Is no choice
that any new controversy will arise be
tween Oermany and the United Slates,
The German Government will not reply
to President "Wilson's note accepting Ger
man submarine concessions. It la pos
sible that the receipt of the note will be
formally acknowledged. The German dov.
ernment will consider the submarine nego

HOUSE BILL ASKS FOR
PEACE CONFERENCE
Continued from rose One
therefore through the hands of both
.the Italian and French censors.
AMSTERDAM, MBy 11. While it
is the unanimous opinion in Holland
that the German Government would
be glad to make peace, the attitude
of various states forming part of the
German Empire may lengthen the
war.
A dispatch received here today says
that King Ludwig, of Bavaria, reply
ing to a delegation that sought to
learn the prospects of peace at an
carl; 'date, declared
"Ye will have n peace that does
not afford us a better position than wc
now have."
LONDON. May 1L
Under the heading "The Kaiser's
Scheme for Premature Peace," the Dally
Telegraph publishes the following state
ment supplied "by a correspondent":
There is no doubt whatever that dur
ing the last few days a definite attemDt
baa been made by the German Government
to Impress neutrals with Its strong deslrn
tor peace, to induce them to come forward
as mediators and to break un the alltanco
of Its enemies by inducing one of them to
include a separate peace.
For- the present it would not serve any
croful purpose to disclose the facts In
t'.ielr entirety, but It can be said the
Ks-lser personally sent a letter to President
Wilson, In which, after appealing to the
President as to the greatest neutral au
thority, he expatiated on the necessity of
urging the Western Towers not to prolong
Indefinitely what seems to him their 'use
less efforts at revenge.' Moreover, In the
capitals of several neutral countries Ger
man representatives have been particu
larly Insistent In their assurances that if
given a fair chance Germany would do
her bent to 'conciliate' her present op
ponents. "According to the best Informed opin
ions this most recent attempt of the;
Kaiser's diplomacy, besides Its apparent'
aim the conclusion of early peace, the
Idea which cannot be entertained by the
Allied Powers had another aim and a far
more real one once more to make Mr.
Wilson realise tho glorious and by no
means unuseful part which Is In store
for him' If he can wait and be patient long
enough to allow the German schemes to
mature "
Herbert Samuel, the Home Secretary,
In an address at the National Liberal
Club, referred to recent suggestions said
to have emanated from Germany In re
gard to the Initiation of peace negotia
tions. He declared that until Germany'
was beaten there could be no thought of
peace, and continued:
"It Is for us In this generation to set
tle this Issue, and not leave to later years
or to the generations of children who
come after us the heritage of finishing and.
completing the struggle. Whether by mil
itary means or by economic means, or by.
combination of bo.th, we must win com
plete and decisive victory,"

and not acknowledged In the Governor's

The Governor spent the day at his home,

denied himself to nil callers whose busi
ness had to do with the developments aris
ing from the charge" made on Tuesday
night by Isaiiore Stern, member of tho
Legislature from the 2d District.
Mr. Ball, speaking for the Governor,
said that the Governo. nlmself had ex
plained the Oliver check Incident and that
Mr. Kolb had explained the transaction re
ferred to In the Stern allegations. Beyond
this the Governor would have no further

"Remember, men of Berks," he de

"It I .because I have tried to make it

"I say that I, for one, will not be a

you have got to stnnd for the fundamental

"My experience as Coronbr has' con
vinced me that about one-hnlf of our hos

tholr treatment of patients and visitors.
If about one-half of thece Institutions were
done away with it would be better for tho
city In my opinion.".
Coroner William It. Knight, Jr., made
the foregoing statement this morning In
discussing the death of Frank Horvath,
3 years old, of 1129 North Bodlne street,
who died In tho Roosevelt Hospital last
night. Tho child wan struck by an auto
mobile of tho Kerr Salt Company while
playing In the street at Germantown and
Olrard avenues. The driver, William Mc
ISlwcc, of 3238 Fltwater street, placed
tho little, fellow on the car and rushed
him to tho Roosovelt Hospital. Thence
he wan taken In the automobile to the
Medico-Chlrurglcal Hospital for X-ray
examination. Although this treatment re
vealed a fracture of the Hkull ' which
caused death" within n few hours the hos
pital authorities permitted the child's re
moval In the machine to the Roosevelt
Hospital. His death occurred at 11.30
o'clock, making the 47th fatality caused
by nutomobllcs since the beginning of tho
year. ; . - '
"HAD THEY NO AMBULANCE?"
"I will summon tho authorities "of both
these hospitals to explain their action In
this caBe," declared Coroner Ivnlght. "I
want to know why It was necessary for
the Roosevelt Hospital to send that child,
whom they know to be seriously hurt, all
the way to the Medico-Chlrurglcal Hos
pital In an automobile. Had they no am
bulance? Or didn't they have an X-ray
outfit of 'their own? I want the Medico
Chlrurglcal Hospital authorities to ex
plain to me why, when tho X-ray revealed
the dangerous character of the child's In
juries, they permitted him to leave their
Institution, That's what such places arc
for; It should not have been necessary
for the patient to leave the Rooe"elt
Hospital In the first place. They should
havo been equipped with the facilities to
take care of -him. That's why I say that
one-halt of our hospitals ought to bo done
away With.
Dr. Frank E. Boston, Interne at the
Roosevelt Hospital, who was on duty
when Frank- Horvath was brought to the
Institution last night, defends the course
pursued. "The child was brou." ht In about
6130 o'clock," he said today. 'I saw at
once that ho had suffered a serious brain
Injury and was In a bad condition owing
;r the shock. An Immediate operation was
4t of the question on this account. 1 de

OPENSWAPITOL
Senator Oliver's Negro Mes
senger Hits.WkhUe Policeman.
Southerners Angered
A shattered romance between two of
the Rev. George Chalmers Richmond's
parishioners was tho cause of his arrest
on th rhnrgo of using the malls with In
tent to defraud.
The man In the case was E. Howard
NVunier, who laid before the postal au
thorities the letters that resulted In the
arrest of the rector. The grl w'as" the sis
ter of William Hnmlfton, a lay render In"
Ht. John's Episcopal Church, the church
from which Mr. Richmond was deposed.
N'eumcr came to this city nfter his dis
charge from Sing Sing several years ago.
The rlorgyman espoused his cause. Intro
duced Ncumer to bin parishioners as a
"friend from New York," disclosing his
real Identity to but. two persons, one of
whom was Hamilton.
Mr. Richmond asked nothing from the
man, according to Information Given out
by him this morning, except adherence to
Richmond's advice, for two years, among
which ndmonltlons was one nsklng that
he keep away from girls, who had been the
cause of his being sent to prison.
Neumcr, according to the former rector,
was sent to Siifg "Sing for bigamy.-"
("Keep way from, the girls Jn my par
iah," Mr. Richmond said he warned Neu
mer. "They nre nfter a man with money
and you have none."
This was shortly after Neumer had ob
tained employment at the Pennsylvania
Hospital through tho efforts of Mr. Rich
mond. ! . .
Ncunler, however, nccordlng to' Mr.
Richmond, started a courtship with Ham
ilton's Bister, to whom the rector referred
as "a homely girl."
Although Hamilton knew of the past
career of Neumer he made no effort ,to
keep the" suitor away from his sister, ac
cording to Noumer's own testimony at
the ecclesiastical trial of Mr. Richmond.
Neumer succumhed to the wiles of an
other girl and "jilted" Hamilton's sister,
with the result that Hamilton, spurred
by family pride, called him a "convict."
This wns thobeglnnlng of the factional
lights that later turned St. John's Into a
battleground and resulted In the removal
of Mr. Richmond, The former rector
remonstrntcd'Wlth Hamilton and tho lat
ter tendered hla resignation to Bishop
Rhlnclander, Ignoring Mr. Richmond. This
precipitated a. fight In the vestry and
created. an opposition to" Mr, Richmond
within hla own congregation.
It whsvtlie fact that Neumer, a man
whom Mr. Richmond claims to have be
friended, had Joined the ranks of his

ator Oliver's negro messenger, Browning,
used a private telephone In the Senate
office building, Northern nnd Southern

them, Of the United States Capitol police
force, for'a reprimand. According to those
who were present at the time, Senator
Oliver exhibited great anger and Informed
the, captain of police that the negro should
have the same courtesies shown him as
are shown any other man.
Browning was summoned to appear be
fore'the captain because h'e blackened tho
eye of Policeman Matheson when he
called his attention "to the fact that tho
phone he was using waa marked
"private." ,

ing entered the Senate ofllce building,
went to the police phone and took the re
ceiver off the hook without asking per
mission to use It. When he "became in
solent" Matheson struck at him and the
negro gave him a black eye.
After the negro was. called before the

other 'Senators from Southern States be
came Interested In the controversy. They
have assured Matheson that they will
stand by him In any trouble he may en
counter while enforcing the rules of the
Senate ofllce building. .
LUKE MEEKINS FREED;
POLICE BEGIN ALL OVER
Father of Murdered Boy De
clared Not. Guilty No
.. New Qlue Found
Luke Meeklns went free this morning,
officially cleared of suspicion In the mur
der of his son, Richard, whose body was
found more than a week ago on the farm
of Judson Self, at 70th street and Botanlo
avenue, after .a search dating from No
vember 2J last when the boy disappeared
from'hls home, 2,49 ,SqUth,'6lBt street.
With the discharge ortha elder Meek
Ins, which w'as-effe(fted''atle a brief ar
raignment before' Tiiagrstfaf a Pennock In
Central Station, the Meeklns mystory re
assumefl its perplexing Obscurity and tho
detectives' declare that all the available
clues have been exHauste'd' "without suc
cess. '""
Meeklns,. who -was alrrested last Satur
day at his home, 6821 Yocum street, waa
brought into the hearing room early. He
sat beside his counsel, David Rahllly, and
seemed dazed by his experience. His was
the first case called.
George Timlin., tha detective, who haa
led the Investigation since the search for
Richard Meeklns began, was the only
witness heard, He testified that Meeklns
had been identified by two farmhands as
a man they had seen hanging around the,
spot where the boy's body subsequently
was discovered. Since making the arrest,
Timlin declared, a thorough Investiga
tion of Meeklns' movements had been
made, with the result that the Detective
Bureau was convinced that he had noth
ing to do with tho death of the boy. .
Magistrate Pennock' thereupon y dis
charged Meeklns, who immediately left
the hearing room with his counsel. In
the corridor he shook hands wiUi Timlin
nnd expressed himself as "glad to get
out." He tjten departed for tho Yocum
street address, which Is the home of his
father. Thomas J. Meeklns, a locomotive
engineer on the, Baltimore .and Ohio Rail
road. Thomas Meeklns nnd other members of
the family are angered' at what they con
sider the unwarranted arrest of the dead
boy's father, and have not abandoned
their determination to Institute proceed
ings against the detectives for false ar
rest. A conference of Meeklns' relatives
will be held this week to decide whether
this step .shall be taken.
' The prosecution of the search for the
slayer will not be abandoned, Timlin as
jsertB. He declared today that the In
vestigators are now about where they
.started, In spite of their' activity In run-
ping out every available clue. Inquiry In
the nelgnoornooa ot tne AteeKins home
.will "be maintained, and every effort ex
pended In the hope that the baffling case
inajr be solved.
