Says "Neutral Belgium" '
Accepted British Offer
By. Associated Press ""
Washington, D. C., Oct. 15.—Count
Von Bernstorff, the German Ambas
sador here, to-day issued the follow
ing statement:
"Concerning the Anglo-Belgian mili
tary agreement existing since 1906, a
formal denial has been issued by Eng
land which proves nothing. Docu
ments are in the hands of the German
authorities and will be published in
full. The facts are that the so-called
neutrality concluded a military agree
ment with England which provided
for landing of British troops in this
'neutral country.' Documents prove
that by its own free will 'neutral Bel
gium' accepted the British offer and
decided to tight on the side of the
allies."
Przemysl Is Freed
of Pussian Siege
Berlin, Oct. 15.—"The Austrian
stronghold of Przemysl" (in Galicia),
the German official statement says,
"is now entirely freed of the Russian
siege.
"The Russians are reported tn be in
fortified positions at Stry, Sambor and
Medyka, which now are being attacked
by the Austrians. This line is sup
posed to keep in check tho direct Aus
trian advance from Przemjdl toward
Galicia."
Cured His RUPTURE
k I was badly ruptured while lifting a
several years ago. Doctors said
my only hope of cure was an oper
ation. Trusses did me no good. Final
ly I got hold of something that quickly
and completely cured me. Years have
fiassed and the rupture has never re
urned, although I am doing hard work
as a carpenter. There Was no oper
ation, no lost time, no trouble. I have
nothing to sell, but will give full In
formation about how you may find a
complete cure without operation, if you
write to me, Eugene M. Pullen, Car
penter, 311 A Marcellus Avenue Manas
quan, N. J. Better cut out this notice
and show it to any others who are
ruptured—you may save a life or at
least stop the misery of rupture and
the worry and danger of an operation.

Railroad Employes Must Pay
For Storage Same as
Passengers
Witlv the filing of tariffs for storage
of baggage another courtesy is lost
to the railroad men. Once the tariffs
are approved by the Interstate Com
merce Commission, railroad employes
will have to pay a storage rate just as
other patrons of a railroad company.
For many years trainmen and other
employes were permitted to store bag
gage and packages for any length of
time without charge. All that was
necessary was to present a pass or
card at the baggage and storage rooms
showing they were railroad employes.
Recent rulings by the commission
make it necessary for all railroads to
charge everybody.
The new tariffs also require that
strict attention be given to time stor
ages. Frequently employes in bag
gage rooms, it is said, have clipped off
extra charges when baggage was not
called for within forty-eight hours.

Trolley Men Protest
State Restrictions
Special to The Telegraph
Atlantic City, N. J., Oct. 15.—Ha
rassing and threatening legislation
which caused alarm among their in
vestors and restricted expansion re
sulted in a "platform of principles"
which, after two years' work, was yes
terday presented to the convention of
the American Electric Railway Asso
ciation, in session here.
The "platform" was submitted by
Thomas H. McCarter, president of the
Public Service Corporation, of New
Jersey, who declared that the "quality
of service must primarily depend upon
the money received in fares, and that
as a just conclusion the rate of fare
should be sufficient to permit the man
agers to meet the reasonable demands
of patrons and yield a fair return on
the capital Invested. Private owner
ship, under regulation, is superior to
government ownership."

Steel Business Is * t
Slumping Continuously ;;
Leading iron and steel trade jour- t
nals this week report a continued fall- t
Ing off in the scale of operations in
these trades. A small Increase in ex
port business is not counted upon to ]
offset the decreasing domestic demand, j
The Iron Age to-day says: I
"While the drift of the steel trade to ,
a lower scale of operatk>ns is still )
unchecked, it is to be noted that the •
reduction of working forces is very ,
slight from week to week. This gives -
ground for the opinion that even a f
small buying movement might bring
a turn for the better. As the belief (
grows that the war will last much ,
longer than has been commonly i
thought, its disastrous effects on !
American trade are more thought of, 1
with less disposition among steel man
ufacturers to count on large exports to
help out a home situation thftt was .
bad before the war came.
"The course of the British iron in
dustry, for example, has been dis
appointing. Therer has been a cur
tailment of blast furnace, steel works
and rolling mill operations there, in
the face of the cutting off of imports
from Germany, which means that
little business can be done in England
by American steel companies. That
British steel exports have suffered
more than was looked for has caused'
much uneasiness. Low prices have re
sulted. One British rail mill has
taken 30,000 tons of Australian rails
and another 20,000 tons for South
Africa, against keen competition from
Canada, and, presumably, from this
country.
"The Bridge Builders and Structural
Society reports that contracts taken by
the bridge and structural shops of the
country in September amounted to
38.5 per cent, of a month's capacity,
against 27.5 per cent, in August. Still,
the first nine months of this year show
a larger total than that of the first
nine months of 1913."

ROAST CHICKEN BACK
UF POLICE SQUABBLE
Whether Beer Had Aught to Do
With Case, Causes Dif
ferent Opinions
After a gruelling examination of
more than a score of witnesses, ex
tending over three hours, the police
committee of Steelton's borough coun
cil, sitting last evening to probe
charges against Patrolman Clinton
Jones, a colored officer, discovered
that one of the chief causes for the
squabble that has excited Steelton fop
weeks was chicken—roast chicken.
The patrolman was charged with
having attended a wedding at 219
Francis street, the night of September
22 or 23, while on duty, and while
there, of drinking beer. Witness after
witness was called. Some testified
that Jones had drunk beer and others
swore that he had not. Patrolman
Pearson, a fellow officer, testified that
he was with Jone'S that evening and
that they went into the cellar to eat
chicken.
"Was there much chicken there?"
asked Borough Solicitor Wickersham.
"Lots, Yo Honor, lots," smiled Pear
son.
"Eat any?"
"Nevah ate mo', Yo' Honor,"
grinned Pearson. "Why, Ah grabbed
one chicken. He was roasted brown,
an' Ah nevah cut that bird. Ah jus'
ate him whole."
And that seems to be the principal
undisputed testimony that was pro
duced at the hearing.
Testimony Both For and Against
Burgess Fred Wigfield, Sergeant
Masters, Charles Gordon, a mechanic,
and Mrs. Willium E. Dickson, colored,
testified to the patrolman's alleged
misconduct prior to August 23, when
he was suspended by Burgess Wigfield.
The testimony of these witnesses was
refuted by Chief H. P. Ixmgnaker,
William E. Dickson, Patrolmen Pear
son, Trombino and Wynn. The bur
gess swore Jones was "to a certain de
gree Intoxicated" when dismissed.
Chief Longnaker swore "In my opin
ion he didn't have a drop in him,"
and the fellow officers testified that
they didn't think Jones had been
drinking.
Dr. J. H. Crampton, of Harrisburg,
testified that Jones had been under his
care and that he was subject to
cramps. This was to explain Jones'
absence from duty.
Contradictory Evidence
With reference to what transpired
at 219 Francis street the nights of
September 22 and 23 there was much
contradictory testimony. Foreigners
testified that they saw Jones either
drink beer or have a glass of it In his
hand. Thomas J. Muldood and Ira
Rider, son of John Rider, a school
director, gave additional testimony
against the patrolman. Rider and
Chairman Nelly, of the police commit
tee, clashed over some of the testi
mony Rider attempted to give.
"Who are you?" shouted Mr. Nelly'
angrily, when Rider told him ho
knew Jones neglected his duty and
failed to report. "What right nave
you to say whether or not that man
reported?"
"I'm not on trial, Mr. Nelly," replied
Rider. "If you just let me continue
I will tell you what I know."
Nelly to the Rescue
Chairman Nelly explained the diffi
culties an officer works under and as
serted that it wasn't fair for outsiders
to Interfere with an officer's work.
John Rrinton then testified that
Jones had told him that he intended
to resign because he had too much
outside business. Councilman Reisch
said he had seen Jones go into the
cellar and said that he would substan
tiate what the burgess already said
concerning the visit to Francis street.
Sets Down His Glass! Alas!
Following Councilman Relsch's tes
timony the defense of Prolman Jones
began. William Stevenson, colored.
Philip Gruie, a member of the band
that furnished music; Dusan Yaryan
ian, Thomas Sain. ITlkola Marfanovic,
Anto Bokovlc. Joseph Gore, a pri
vate detective, and High Constable
Bomgardner all testified that they saw
Jones at the wedding, but that he did
not drink anything. James Porter,
who says he accompanied Jones to
the wedding, explained that Jones was
handed a glass of beer, that he raised
it as before a toast and then sat it
down on the table again. Porter then
drunk the beer, he swore.
Patrolman Jones, In his own de
fense, testified that he was sent to the
wedding by Chief Dongnaker. He de
nied drinking anything. He told about
eating lots of chicken and "good
po'k" while he was in the cellar. The
hearing then closed.
Now Up to Council
The final chapter of the Jones inci
dent Is now up to council. What ac
tion that body will take at Its next
meeting is a matter for conjecture.
All the borough councilmen except
President Reynders, Mr. Stees and Mr.
Capella were at last evening's hearing.
None, however, except Mr. Waggen
baugh, would make any comment on
their future action.
Mr. Waggenbapgh made a signifi
cant henark, however, when he was
asked if he wanted to give any teti
mony before the committee.
"Gentlemen. I am not a witness hero
In this case," significantly remarked
the councilman, und there was just a
shade of emphasis on the word "this."
REV. GETZ COMING SOON
The Rev. G. W. Getz, whom it was
announced yesterday had been ap
pointed the new pastor of the Main
Street Church of God by the Lancaster
Eldership, will assume his new duties
here early next month. The Rev. Mr.
Getz comes from Worinleysburg. The
Rev. J. M. Waggoner, formerly pastor
of the Main Street church, has been
assigned to the Newville charge.
