opposed to the change, but he joined
with the majority when William R.
Douglass told a few things about base
ball in Harrisburg and vicinity. One
representative said: "Over in Harris
burg they guarantee 200 people at
every game. That is more than we
have averaged at any game for some
time."
That settled it. The vote was taken
and Harrisburg won out. William R.
Douglass will be in charge temporarily
until the arrival to-night of President
Barrow and E. W. Wickers, a director
of the league.
Mr. Douglass will in all probability
be made secretary for the club in this
city. He was busy to-day preparing
for a big opening to-morrow. It prom
ises to be a memorable event, accord
ing to indications late this afternoon.

No Vacation In Sight—Present In
dications are that the Public Service
Commission will get practically no
vacation this year as the lists of hear
ings being made up contemplate meet
ings every week during July and
August with numerous hearings in
various parts of the State. On Mon
day the first of the weekly conferences
will be held by Acting Chairman W.
D. B. Ainey and the heads of the
bureaus. These conferences are for
reporting on cases in process of ad
judication and it is expected will se
cure more rapid action on complaints.
May Get More Schools Arrange
ments are being made by the State
Board of Education to pay off debt
of some of the State normal schools
for which State appropriations were
made and it is likely that negotiations
looking to the acquisition of control
of several schools will be resumed at
an early date. The State has secured
four schools of the thirteen and has
been considering others.
To Ship Canvas—Shipment of can
vas for the encampments of the Na

the first going to Mt. Gretna.
More Buildings Plans are being
made by Commissioner of Fisheries
N. R. Buller for additional buildings
at the State fish hatcheries at Pleas
ant Mount, Wayne county, and Belle
fonte. Center county. Some improve
ments will also be made in the Erie
county hatcheries. The new build
ings at Pleasant Mount and Bellefonte
Will enable the State to put out a
materially greater amount of young
trout and bass,. It is also the plan to
improve the plant at Torresdale to
handle more shad.

pected that the new forms for mak
ing report of production of anthra

number of suggestions and after con
sultation with Attorney General
Brown on certain features of the law
In regard to assessment.
Commission to Meet. The State
Forestry Commissioners will meet here
to-morrow to discuss work under the

be taken as the State can now make
arrangements with local associations
for patrol service and can call upon
wardens and State Police to assist in
fighting fires.
State Goods to Front—lnspections
of fertilizers being sold throughout
the State are being made by agents
of the State Department of Agriculture

Steel Business Shows Big
Increase in Six Months
The "Iron Age" in its weekly re
view of the steel trades to-day says:
"The steel trade enters upon the
I second half of the year with produc
tion about 50 per cent greater than on
! January 1 and with the Increase in
j production and consumption which
has been more marked in the past
two months still in progress. There
is a general disposition to look for
further expansion in the remainder of
the year, in spite of some irregularity
in prices and of the failure of pig-iron
prices to reflect the improvement in
finished material.
"That the Carnegie Steel Company
will buy billets in the East, so that It
may have available for the Central
West steel which would otherwise go
to an eastern subsidiary of the Steel
Corporation, is a possible development,
but the report of such purchases is
! not confirmed. Three more blast fur
| naces of the corporation have gone in
I in the past week, so that it is not likely
to go into the pig-iron market, as has
been reported.
"Railroad contracts for track fast
enings for the second half will be of
good size. The New York Central is
in the market for 300,000 kegs of
spikes and 15,000 kegs of bolts be
sides 9000 tons of bars, and the B. &
O. is inquiring for 20,000 kegs of
spikes. An order for 8000 tons of rails
for the El Paso Southwestern has gone
to the Colorado mill.
"Tin-plate mills are coming into
better operating conditions, thanks
largely to demand from abroad. A
new-inquiry from France is for 140,-
000 boxes. England and Italy are also
buying. In June the orders and ship
ments of the American Sheet & Tin
Plate Company in sheet and tin mill
products were larger than for any
month since February, 1913."

In the official view of the complex
Mexican situation.
The situation in the Mexican capital
made more dangerous for foreigners
by the battling armies in the suburbs,
is causing Washington officials more
worry Just now than any other phase
of conditions in the southern repub

to have been nipped in the bud by the

SINKING OF SHIP

additional details. He said that as
the Armenian carried no passengers
presumably all Americans who perish
ed were members of the crew.
It was pointed out here, however,
that Americans seeking cheap trans
portation frequently travel upon such
ships as passengers, although they are
signed on the ship's roll as members
of the crew.
The department expected further
dispatches from Mr. Page and Consul
Armstrong giving reports of survivors
to show whether the ship was duly
warned by the German submarine
commander and those aboard her
given an opportunity to escape.
Officials of the steamship company
stated that the Armenian was not un
der charter to the British admiralty,
but was sailing merely as a merchant
man carrying cntraband.
The loss of American lives in the
destruction of the Armenian is a mat
ter of grave concern to the United
States Government, which has been in
sisting that human life should not be
jeopardized through indiscriminate at
tack and destruction of merchantmen
without proper warning and the exer
cise of the right of visit and search.
Ambassador Page, at London, was
at once asked by the State Department
to make a thorough investigation and
to forward complete details both as to
the destruction of the Armenian and
as to the character of the charter un
der which the steamship was pro
ceeding to England, with a cargo of
horses and mules for use by the armies
of the Allies.
Until detailed information is avail
able, Secretary Lansing who returned
to-day from Amherst was not pre
pared to indicate the course of the
State Department. President Wilson,
who Is at Cornish. N. H., has been ad
vised of the situation.
Did She Try to Escape?
In many quarters the sinking of the
vessel was regarded as likely to add
further complications to the corre-
pending between Germany
and the United States over the ques
tion of submarine warfare. Officials
attached much importance to the ac
tion of the Armenian at the time, she
was encountered by the German sub
marine. If the vessel, attempting to
escape, failed to heed a warning shot
from the submarine not only the ves
sel but the crew would be subject to
the risks of a subsequent attack.
U. S. Position
| The position of the United States is
that citizens engaged In the carrying
of contraband who are on board ships
that resist capture or nttcmpt to run a
blockade are not entitled to the pro
tection of the American Government.
One cablegram to the department
spoke of a second shot having been
fired at the wireless house of the Ar
menian which gave rise to the impres
sion that the first shot may have been
fired in warning. On the other hand,
if the information which is expected
to be received through American con
sular officers who will talk with the
survivors, proves that the Armenian
made no effort to resist capture and
was torpedoed without warning and
without removing the members of the
crew to a place of safety, officials
thought the case would be almost
parallel with that of the Lusitania.
The United States has contended for
the principle that an unarmed and un
resisting ship must not be destroyed
until passengers and crew have been
removed to a place of safety as pro
vided in the Declaration of London
and the general rules of international
law.
The question as to what armament
she had, if any, will be taken up.
There has been, it was said at the
State Department, no explicit rules
concerning the treatment of chartered
vessels in time of war.
Crew Should Have Been Saved
Collectors of American ports have
had orders to prevent the departure
of foreign military officers on board
ships transporting horses or mules
from the United States and similarly
clearance has been refused to all Brit
ish vessels which were armed.
Officials were inclined to believe
that the chartering of the vessel by
the British Government would not ef
fect vitally the merits of the case be
cause the character of the ship was
that of a peaceful merchantman when
it left the shores of the United States
and the crew was therefore entitled
to be removed to a place of safety
before the ship was destroyed.
First Loss Since Lusitania
The case of the Armenian consti
tutes the first Instance since the sink
ing of the Lusitania in which Amer
ican lives have been lost. The expec
tation here has been that Germany's
reply to the last American note would
make some concessions that would
insure the safety of Americans on the
high seas and especially upon passen
ger vessels. Comparatively little at
tention has been given to the case of
Americans on hoard belligerent ships
which primarily carried freight and
contraband.

White Star-Dominion lines. She was
built at Belfast, Ireland, in 1896, was
of 8,825 tons gross register, and 512
feet long.
Her cargo consisted of mules ship
ped by Fuiness, Withy & Co.. of Eng
land and she sailed for Avonmouth,
England, from Newport News on June
17 in command of Captain Trickey.
Before the war she plied between
Boston and Liverpool, and since then
has made voyages between Newport
News and New Orleans and Liverpool,
Cardiff and Avonmouth.
Officials of the International Mer
cantile Maxine in the New York of
fices of the company yesterday admit
ted that most of the Armenian's cargo
was contraband (horses and mules are
contraband under the rules of all the
belligerent countries), but said that
much of her cargo was made up of
miscellaneous supplies. No details of
the sinking had been received at the
offices of the line.
White Crew Quit
Before the Ship Sailed
Special to The Telegraph
Norfolk, Va., July 1. —The Ar
menian which was sunk by a German
submarine, sailed on June 17 with
1,420 mules. Twelve men who agreed
to make the voyage left the ship two
days before she. sailed and negroes
were signed on In their places.
The vessel sailed for Avonmouth,
but her cargo was ultimately going
to Havre. She was under contract
to deliver thft mules in either England
or France, and they were not to be
paid for until this was done. Agents
of the British Government at this
port inspected each animaj before It
was put on board the ship. The mules
were consigned to an Individual at
Avonmouth who had a contract with
the British and French Governments.
The animals were Insured before
the ship left this port.
Had Narrow Escape Before
The Armenian has made several
trips to Europe with horses and grain.
On her last voyage over Capt. Trickey
reported having been In close proxim
ity to a submarine. He was con
voyed to port on the other side after
receiving warning to steer a certain
course until picked up.
The British steamer Masten cleared
from this port to-day for Liverpool
with 100 motor trucks and 40 auto
mobiles to be used by the British and
French Governments. She also car
ries a cargo of meats, canned goods
and flour. She will be met by Britiih
warships on the other side of the At
lantic.
President Is Silent;
Awaits the Full Facts
Special to The Telegraph I
Cornish, N. H.,. July I.—President' I
Wilson was informed of the sinking A
of the Armenian by a German subma- T
rine, and that several Americans were '
reported lost. It was said that he
would wait for full official informa
tion before deciding what course to
pursue, but that a thorough investiga
tion would be conducted.
The President displayed deep inter
est in the news from Washington, but
declined to make any official com
ment. He has been told that a favor
able reply from Germany to the last
American note protesting against the
submarine warfare was probable, and
therefore word of the sinking of the
Armenian was received here with
surprise.
