    HARRISBURG AUTO
DRIVER HELD FOR
DEATH OF WITTERS
Gilbert Stewart Is Under Heavy
Bail on Charge of
Manslaughter
'Special to The Telegraph
f Lebanon, Pa., Aug. 5. —Gilbert Stew
art, of Harrlsburg, must answer a
charge of Involuntary manslaughter
at the September quarter sessions
court. Alderman R. L. Miller, of this
city, at a hearing on Tuesday after
noon, having decided that a prima
fade case had been made out against
him In connection with the death of
Claude Witters, of Palmyra, In an
automobile accident on the Berks and
Dauphin county turnpike, about a mile
west of Annvllle, on the morning of
July 12.
W. Justin Carter, an attorney of
Harrlsburg, appeared as counsel for
the defendant, who later went before,
Judge Charles V. Henry and entered
SI,OOO bail. llis bondsman. Homer
Slmonettl, of Harrlsburg, furnished
the bail in cash.
Simonetti also furnished a bond of
SIOO as bail for Stewart on a charge
of violating the state automobile act
in having driven a car under a strange
number tag on the night of the acci
dent. County Detective Sattazahn
made this additional charge after the
hearing on the manslaughter charge.
One Victim Still Near Death
Walter C. Graelt appeared as attor
ney for the Commonwealth, having
been engaged by Abram Stauffer,
father of Roy Stauffer, one of the vic
tims of the accident, who is still un
conscious at the Good Samaritan Hos
pital and who is hovering between life
and death. It appeared from the line
of questioning that the Commonwealth
will try to prove that the Ford car,
driven by Stauffer, and the Abbott-
Detroit car, driven by Stewart, struck
the buggy driven by Wilbur Reed, of
Snyder, about the same time, the Ford
car being turned completely arounu
by the Impact, or perhaps turning a
somersault.
Witnesses testified that in Annville
a few minutes before the accident the
two cars were fully a square apart
and Mr. Graeff contended that Stew
art was guilty of criminal negligence
in running into the Ford car after he
was that far awaiy and with that much
opportunity to observe caution. Un
less Stauffer recovers, however, and
tells his part of the story. Stewart will
probably never be convicted, for the
evidence is regarded by those present
as barely sufficient to hold the defend
ant for trial.
Doctor Testifies
Dr. E. S. Bordner, of Palmyra, who
was called to the scene of the acci
dent immediately after it occurred,
testified that he found Witters dead
and Roy Stauffer unconscious. His
most important evidence was that the
young men were all lying in a row in
front of the Ford car, which was lying
at the side of the road on its side in a
crippled condition. His evidence that
the body of Witters showed no evi
dence of having been run over by an
auto, the only marks being abrasions
and the back of the head crushed in,
was seized upon eagerly by the de
fense as being in their favor.
Prosper Boyer testified to having
met Wilbur Reed at Annville on Sat
urday night about 11.30 o'clock. He
said they took a drive in Reed's rig
and were returning to Annville via the
pike when they saw the Ford car ap
proaching from the east. He testified
that they were in the middle of the
road, but turned to the right when the
auto aproaehed, and were hugging the
street railway tracks when the Ford
car stripped them, tearing off the two
wheels on that side and breaking the
axle. He asserted that the Abbott car
was only a few feet in the rear when
the Ford car was approaching and
that the «>cond car crashed into the
first about the same time the first car
struck the buggy. Boyer said he was
thrown out, but recovered from the
shock almost instantly, and he then
grabbed the horse and held it, and
therefore knew little of what went on
at the wrecked automobile, which laid
twenty feet in the rear, lie said he
remained there until 4.30 o'clock in
the morning and that the automobile
was not touched to remove it from
the point where it hail fallen—an
other point which the defense claimed
pointed to the fact that the injury was
all done before the Abbott car arrived
on the scene.
Says Car Was Racing
Frank Spangler, one of the passen
gers with Witters and Stauffer in the
Fcrd car. stated that at the time of
the. accident Stauffer was driving the
car, although earlier in the evening
Stauffer had occupied a back seat
while he relinquished the wheel to
Paul Zimmerman. He said tliev left
Lebanon about 11.30 and at Tenth
and Cumberland streets noticed n car
following them, supposedly the Abbott
car. driven by Stewart, though he
would not swear to that fact positively.
He testified that the rear car fol
lowed at a high rate of speed nnd
near the city limits forged ahead with
the passengers shouting "Come on "
The witness insisted that Stauffer
tnade no attempt to race and at Ann
ville saw the other car standing in
front of a restaurant. The Stauffer
car went right ahead, however, and at
the tollgate, half a mile west, the wit
ness said, the other car was again but
fifty feet in the rear. The tollgate is
at the top of the big hill at the foot
oi which the accident occurred and
the witness knew nothing more than
that there was a crash. He was ren
dered unconscious for some mlntues
and he revived only in time to see the
other car departing. This is the wit
ness who is alleged to have heard <*ne
of the Harrishurg men say: "My God.
we've killed four men," hut no effort
was made to introduce that evidence
and he did not volunteer it.
Spangler Cross-Questioned
Spangler was put through a grill
ing cross-questioning by Attorney Car
ter. who endeavored to make him ad
mit that the Stauffer party had lieen
drinking and were under the influence
of liquor at least early In the after
noon. The witness admitted that the
party had been at the hotel at Swatara
Station and at Hockersville, and that
they spent the evening in Lebanon, but
denied that anyone bad drank any
thing but Stauffer, who was not, how
ever. under the Influence. Asked why
Stauffer had surrendered the wheel to
Zimmerman at Hockersville, the wit
ness stated that Stauffer was sick.
Spangler asserted that he had spent
the evening in Lebanon in the com
pany of a young lady and that he did
not know where the others were, but

WAR BLAME IS LAID
ON KAISER BY CZAR
Germany Accused of Forcing Con
flict and of Having De
ceived Great Britain
St. Petersburg:, Aug. 5.—A semi
official statement Rives Russia's reply
to the assertion in the Norddeutsches
Gazette that Russia had forced Ger
many to take warlike steps and de
cline to take part in an international
conference to preserve peace.
The Russian statement accuses the
Kaiser of having advised Austria not
to yield.
The German view as given by the
newspaper referred to was as follows:
"The Czar asked the Kaiser to re
strain Austria and help maintain
peace. The Kaiser was willing to do
so and entered into communication
with Vienna.'
"In the meantime news of Russian
mobilization was received at Berlin
and the Kaiser telegraphed to the Czar
that Germany's part as mediator was
endangered by the Russian action.
Before a final decision was reached in
Berlin regarding Sir Edward Grey's
peace proposal Russia ordered com
plete mobilization. Thereupon the
Kaiser informed the Ozar that the
safety of the Gorman empire forced
him to take the defensive and that the
onus for war was on Russia, adding
that peace could still be maintained
if Russia ceased her threatening
movements against Austria.
GAZETTE ACCUSED
The Russian statement accuses the
Norddeutsche Gazette of attempting
to deceive the British people In re
ference to the fate of the mediation
proposal. It asserts that the British
Cabinet was aware than when Russia
had given her consent to an internati
onal mediation conference, Germany
had advised Austria to refuse her ac
quiescence, and when Germany began
her efforts at Vienna which seemed to
be sincere it was too late to influence
Austria, as the dual monarchy had by
that time taken steps which resulted
in the fatnl denoucement.
Russia suggests that Germany did
not appreciate the gravity of the dis
pute between Russia and Austria-
Hungary or was unwilling or unable to
influence Austria in favor of peace.
The statement maintains that Russia
did her utmost to avoid bloodshed, in
the hope that the secular and dynastic
bonds between Russia and Germany
would help in the attempt to tind a
way out.
Russian mobilization in the Kieff,
Odessa, Kasan and Moscow districts
was not ordered until after Russia
had informed Germany that she was
not mobilizing, and when (after Aus
tria had declared war on Servia) Rus
sia ordered the mobilization she in
formed Germany about it, assuring
the Berlin government that the mass
ing of troops was not directed against
the .German Empire.
Pourparlers were in progress when
the Austrians were bombarding Bel
grade until Russia, realizing that her
talk was fruitless and that delay
could only help Austria, decided on
complete mobilization, but solemnly
declared that she would not act as
long as the pourparlers continued.
The Holy Synod has sent messages
to the priests and congregations of the
Orthodox church throughout the em
pire quoting the text from the book of
John, ."Greater love hath no man than
this, that a man lay down his life for
his friend," invoking them "to defe'nd
their little brothers and sisters in
Christ" and declaring that faith iB the
invincible weapon.
Thousands of women are replacing
in factories men who have been called
to the colors. A clothing depot and
a hospital for the wounded have been
opened here on the imitative of the
Imperial family.
A ukase imposing a military cen
sorship was published to-day.
Prince George Troubetskoy, direc
of the Near Eastern Department of
the Foreign Office, has been appointed
minister to Servia.

that Stauffer was still in the car when
Spangler returned. He denied that
tney had attended a dance or had in
dulged in any other frivolity. The
witness was the only member of the
party not seriously hurt. He said that,
oeing a minor, he did not drink any
thing at all during the trip.
Chester Bruce and Paul Zimmer
man, the other two passengers in
Stauffer's car, were both called, but
they could throw little light on the
accident. They only knew of the
crash, and as both spent more than a
week at the hospital after the accident
they both pleaded lack of memory on
anything connected with the affair,
alleging that the shock had bereft
them of any knowledge they had re
garding it.
Another Driver Testifies
Allen Walter, a son of Dr. John
Walter, of Eighth and Church streets,
testified that he drove to Lebanon
from Harrishurg on the night in ques
tion and had passed two automobiles
Just as he reached Annville about 1
o'clock. He said he had not passed
any other autos on his entire trip from
the state capital city to Lebanon, thus
identifying the cars despite the fact
that he knew none of the occupants
and did not recognize the cars. He
said the cars were a block apart when
he saw them and were not running at
more than twenty miles an hour at
the time. In Walter's car was Thomas
B. son of the Rev. J. A. Lyter,
l."08 Derry street, but Lyter was not
called.
John White, of Annville, gave simi
lar testimony, stating that the cars
were fully a block apart as they went
out of Annville toward the fatal spot
where the accident occurred, about a
mile farther up the road.
Attorney Carter appeared to be
much surprised that Mr. Graeff should
ask that the men be held on the testi
mony adduced. Mr. Carter contended
that there was no testimony offered by
the Commonwealth to show that Stew
art's car was in the least responsible.
He contended that the mere fact that
the Ford car was found completely
turned around mowed that the harm
was all done before the Abbott car
appeared on the scene, a minute or
two later. He contended that if the
Abbott car had not been involved at
all the results would not have been
different. He also contended that if
there had been several other cars fol
lowing it would have been as justi
fiable to'have them all charged with
responsibility as to charge Stewart
with the crime. He insisted that his
client had told the truth as to strip
ping the top of the fallen auto and
that the man should not be obliged to
come back to Lebanon to defend him
self on so serious a charge.
Joseph Demma, Preston, Bixton,
George Huber and Theodore Mag
nelli, all of Harrishurg, who were sup
posed to have been with Stewart on
the trip when the accident occurred,
were present at the hearing, but no
evidence in defense was permitted. The
young men all seemed nervous and
Stewart listened to every word of evi
dence with nerves evidently at a high
tension. ,

ALTER APPEARS
BEFORE A BOARD
Speaker Shows How Failure to Pay
Can Tie Up Affairs of a
Water Corporation
Speaker George E. Alter appeared In
the matter of the complaint against
the rates and service of the Beaver
Valley Water Company before the
Public Service Commission yesterday
and gave some Interesting informa
tion as to the financial condition of the
water company, which he represents,
due to the failure of the consumers
to promptly pay their bills.
The present rates of the water com
pany went into effect on April 1 of
this year and since that time of the
5,965 domestic consumers 4,469 have
failed to pay a cent on account of
their bills. This delinquency repre
sents $52,830 and there is also uncol
lected by the company the amount of
$20,000 outstanding on the schedule
of rates of 1912.
Mr. Alter said that the company \frill
be compelled to provide about SIOB,-
000 during the next six months and it
will be absolutely necessary to collect
the unpaid bills.
He said the water was not turned
off, in deference to the request of the
commission, which advised the com
pany to take no action of this char
acter pending the determination of the
case, and he intimated very strongly
that the right to collect these bills
meant the right to turn off the water,
and nothing developed during his ad
dress to contradict this argument. He
said that if the commission found the
rates which became effective on April
1 are exorbitant and unreasonable, the
consumers have a remedy in the way
of reparation for the excessive
amounts paid.
Ex-Judgj J. Sharpe Wilson and At
torney Lawrence M. Sebring, of Bea
ver, appeared for the complainants.
Testimony will be taken at a hear
ing to be fixed by the commission,
when the merits of the case will be
fully investigated.
AT THE VICTORIA "THE MGHT
UNSEEN." A WARNER FEATURE
WITH MARION LEONARD
An artist well on the way to fame
suddenly becomes blind. He has a
pupil and model, a beautiful young wo
man, who is secretly in love with him,
and she determines to obtain the
money. She visits a pawn shop, but is
unable to secure a loan sufficiently
large. She also tries roulette, but loses
her last dollar.
An old man becomes interested in
the girl who has tried so hard to ob
tain a largo loan from him, and of
fers to leave her his entire estate if
she will marry him.
She accepts for the sake of the man
she loves. That night the old man
dies. The girl gives the artist money
for the operation on his eyes, telling
him she borrowed it from a relative.
When the pawnbroker's son learns
of the disposition of his father's for
tune he is furious. To get' it back he
forces his stepmother to marry him, the
ceremony being performed bv a
gambler disguised as a clergyman. The
next day the son tries out a new motor
boat and is wrecked. He is supposed
to have been drowned, but in reality
is picked up by a ship bound for
Africa.
The girl next finds that her sacrifice
is in vain, as the operation proved a
failure and the artist is blind for life.
Believing: that her supposed husband
is drowned, she marries the artist.
Manw weeks later the pawnbroker's
son returns, hunts up the girl and
threatens to expose her unless she
comes to him as his wife.
She meets again the gambler who
"mbarrled" her to the pawnbroker's
son. He tells her that the ceremony
was a fake and returns with her to
confront the young villain.
Tl\e latter kills himself, and the Kirl,
now free and rich, returns to a life of
hapiness with her blind artist.

GERMAN AVIATORS
KILL IS WITH BOMBS
Historic Town Is Wrecked by Ex
plosives; French Rout
Squadron
Paris Aug. s.—Bombs dropped from
German dirigibles and badly damaged
the historic town of LunevUle, in the
Department of Meurthe at Moselle.
In the early hours of the morning
just as the first streak of dawn were
showing in the sky, a big Zeppelin
dirigible sailed out of the fog. It was
flying low, and, as it passed over the
Church of St. Jacques, a quantity of
high explosives were dropped. It mis
sed the church and fell in the square
alongside.
The concussion was terrific. One of
the side walls of the church was de
molished and a patrol of troops sta
tioned there was annihilated. The
dirigible then proceeded over the fort
ifications, dropping other bombs there
and demolishing part of the embank
ment.
French aviators were dispatched
from Nancy to-day to locate the Zep
plln dirigible that dropped the bombs
on the town of Luneville. There is In
tense indignation in official quarters
over the actions of the Germans.
While It is admitted in war it is the
privilege of an enemy inflict every
possible damage on the fighting force
of his opponent, the dropping of
bombs on unprotected towns without
warning is declared to be a violation
of the rules of civilized warfare.
According to the reports available
here the bombs dropped at Luneville
were made up of Germany's new high
explosive and were particularly
deadly. The fifteen soldiers killed
are said to have literally been blown
to pieces. Bodies were rent into
small pieces and heads and limbs torn
into shreds.
It is stated that the Germans tried
to destroy the historic palace of Lor
raine but that their bombs missed the
mark.

"Gentlemen: I was taken sick in

Had two consultations. The verdict
was the fever had affected my lungs
and that my case was hopeless; only
gave me two months to live. Mv phy
sician had tried 'most all kinds of treat
ment and none did me any good, so
he asked my husband if he objected to
him trying a proprietary medicine. I
began your Alterative. I was In bed
from November 30, 1908. until Febru
ary 25, 1909, and was thought dying
several times. To-day I am healthier
and stronger than ever." (Abbrevi
