ROYAL ALLY COOL
ON GALLERY PLAY
Gorgas Dpesnt' Take Seriously
Mayor's Opposition to
1916 Budget
Retiring Mayor John K. Royal's
gallery play in city council on the
city budget and tax rate ordinances
got little, If any boosting, from his
ally, Commissioner W. L. Gorgas, sup
erintendent of finance and accounts.
Mayor Royal, it is said, was mighty
sorry that, the commissioners did not
need to push up the tax rate another
quarter or halt a mill, and he sum
med up his feelings on the subject
in a statement made to the council
men at their final meeting for 191")
yesterday afternoon. He made carbon
copies of the statement and gave, them
to the newspapers before council
convened.
The statement takes up a good
page of typewritten copy and In it
the Mayor contended that the esti
mated expenditures exceeded the re
ceipts. On this principle he voted
against the adoption of Commissioner
Bowman's water budget. Mr. Bow
man had Iransferred $5,000 from his
fund to help out in the general ap
propriations. But heed Mr. Gorgas'
opinion:
"Well, X wouldn't change my
vote on the strength of the
mayor's statement. The whole
thing is a good deal a matter of
guess work. 1 his preparation of
a budget. We've never had a full
year upon which to work out our
estimates of receipts and expendi
tures. [ have made most of the
estimates for 1916 and I believe
in the main tliey are fair. We've
never had a chance to figure esti
mates for a full year from
January; we'll be better able to
do this next year. The matter
will have to be re-adjusted here
after if there is a deficit."
Council as constituted for the past
two years will not convene again as
the new body will re-organize Mon
day at 10 o'clock when Mayor Royal
swears in Mayor-elect Meals and the
latter in turn administers the oath to
the other commissioners. The city
tax rate measure authorizing the
levying of nine and a half mills, the
1910 budget, and the water depart
ment budget were passed finally. The
Taylor park purchase measure was
read for the first time and this with,
the measure striking the Walter's
concrete base requirement from the
paving specifications, went over for
action by the new body. Thus passed
Harrisburg's first council under the
nark commission form of govern
ment.

i Distributing Surplus Produce
The plan for distributing the sur
plus product of the poor farm is Poor
Director-elect F. B. Snavely.'s. Mr.
Snavely is the manager of the many
farms of M. S. Ilershey, the "chocolate
king" and it is largely through his
careful handling' of the agricultural
department of the chocolate company
that the farms have become so justly
famous.
Mr. Snavely plans to give the same
sort of efficient service to Dauphin
county.
"To my mind the productive possi
bilities of the poor farm could be de
veloped very materially by the inaug
uration of an irrigating system which
could be installed at a comparatively
small expense," said Mr. Snavely. "This
we propose to do If possible.
"The surplus product we will then
be in position to distribute as needed
to the various charitable institutions."
Waste of Vegetables
inquiry has developed the fact that
there Is no inconsiderable waste of
vegetables of various kinds at the poor
farm largely because more than
enough is grown to supply the alms
house demands. When Director-elect
Snavely's plan is put into etfect the
city hospitals, the Home for the
Friendless, the Children's Industrial
Home, Sylvan Heights Orphanage and
the other homes and hospitals will get
Iresh vegetables as they require them.
The fact that Poor Director-elect Fer
nando Loudermilch is one of the ablest
businessmen of the upper end of the
county and that Mr. Snavely has a
wide and thorough experience as a
farmer, will make a splendid business j
combination to carry out these plans. ]
Added to this will be the experience of
Mr. Manning as a member of the poor
board for some years.
Odds and Ends
While all the county officials who
will go out of office Monday, practi
cally completed their work yesterday,

to-night.

be followed out. Alderman li. J. Hil
ton, Fourth ward, it is understood will

POOR BOARD GETS 51.500
ADDITIONAL ItEQI'ISITION
The plans for conducting (he affairs
of the county Poor Board on a more
efficient and economical scale as an
nounced by the poor directors elect is
considered especially appropos at tills
time, in view of the fact that the
County Commissioners vesterda.v had
to appropriate an additional requi
sition of $1,500 to the present Poor
Board to help it meet its maintenance
bills for the closing year.
The $1,500 requisition makes the

HARD FIGHTING
ON ALL FRONTS
[Continued From First Page.]
correspondent of Reuter's Telegram
Company says that Emperor William,
according to a dispatch from Berlin,
has sent the following New Year's
address to the army, the navy and
the colonial troops:
"Comrades: Another year of severe
fighting has elapsed. Wherever a su
perior number of enemies have
stormed our lines they have failed
before your loyalty and bravery.
Wherever 1 have sent you into bat
tle you have gained a glorious victory.
Thankfully we remember to-day,
above all our brethren who joyfully
gave their blood in order to gain se
curity for our beloved at home and
imperishable glory for the fatherland.
What they have begun we shall ac
complish with God's gracious help.
"In impotent madness enemies from
the west and east, from the north and
south still seek to deprive us of all
that makes life Worth living. They
long ago buried the hope to conquer
us in honest fighting. On the weight
of their masses, on the starvation of
our entire people, on the influence of
their campaign of calumniation, which
is as mischievous as it is malicious,
they believe they can still reckon.
Their plans will not succeed. Before
the spirit of determination which im
perturably unites the army and those
at home their hopes will be miserably
disappointed. With n will to discharge
the duty of the fatherland to the last
breath and determination to secure
victory we enter the new year with
God for the protection of the father
land and for Germany's greatness."

Hudson Springs Startling
Surprise at New York Show
I The new. seven-passenger Hudson
'Super-Six, just announced at the New
York show has startled the motor
world. This is not merely a new
model with minor refinements. It is
an aboslute upheaval of all present
impressions and beliefs regarding
motors, and particularly six-cylinder
motors. Even the rumor ot' the new
Hudson car has for months kept mo
tordom on edge. But the wildest
rumor was tame compared to the
truth. Its builders claim that the
Super-Six begins- a revolution and
there seems every reason to anticipate
that their belief is well founded. The
heart of the new Hudson Super-Six
lies in the motor, in which is com
prehended a new invention of Hud
son engineers. The motor is patented
and the name Super-Six is registered
so that the full benefit of the dis
covery belong solely to the Hudson
Company and to owners of Hudson
cars.
The motor is no larger than last
year's motor, 3%x5 inches, but the
power has been increased by 80 per
cent. The best power heretofore ef
fectively produced by n, six-cylinder
motor of this capacity was about 45-
liorsepower. The new Hudson Super-
Six, effectively uses 76 horsepower.
Vet the new motor is strictly conven
tional in every feature. It is simply
an advance on the present type of
standard motor, with the addition of
the new discovery of the Hudson en
gineers. This utilizes more of the de
veloped power. The motor develops
about 84 horsepower as in old type
sixes, but owing to its absolute
smoothness and lack of vibration, less
than 8 horse power to be utilized in
driving the car.

QUEER NAMES ON
SCHOOL'S ROSTER
Carlisle Indian Students Often
Change Names, Records
Show
Special la the Telegraph
Carlisle, Pa., Jan. X. —When one re
alizes that if a Chippewa Indian boy
has to ask his mother for a Pah-tah
me -she-me-bah-shc-ne-si-gah-ne- we
ko-be-baw-kwa-she-gan when he
wants apple pie, it may be understood
that the seemingly cumbersome names
carried by many of the Indian stu
dents at tlie Carlisle school are really
not so burdensome to the Kedskin as
would first appear.
Among names on the Carlisle roster
of students are such as Katie Owns-
Many-Horses, Nancy Kicks-the-Iron,
Prank Sniells-tlie-Log, Edward Dis
mount-Twice, Delph Essen-to-Hate,
Flora Well-Known, and Henry
Knocks-Off-Two. Names such as Mag
glee Wauweyancuming. Paul Teenabr
kizen, Ruth Nantsnaggie. Pablo Parv
chima. Estain Depeltqulsangne and
Dock Yukkatanhci could best be sign
ed by a rubber stamp.
The longest name on Carlisle's list
of students is Owen Woothtakewabitty
and the shortest Jo Dog.
There has been a growing inclina
tion among the Indians during the
past llfteen years to vut out odd names
and substitute either Anglican ver
sions of brevity or to change sur
names into simple literal or phonetic
equivalence. By odd fortune, many
Indian football players had queer cog
nomens. Met-the Oxen abbreviated
Into Metoxen, and was well-known by
I hat name, as were Afraid-of-t lie-
Bear, Kicked-in-the-Jaw, Goes-Back,
Looks-a-Round, and many others at
tracted the attention of sport lovers.
That these, odd names have not en
tirely passed away is evidenced for in
stance by the following names taken
off the students roll, being surnames,
having reference to parts of the hu
man body: No-Shin-Bone, Spread-
Brand, Short-Neck, Kick-a-Eyelash.
Silver-Heels, Roman-Nose, Red-Neck,
Mumble-Head, Yellow-Kidney. Yellow-
Face, Wounded-Eye, White-Face,
White-Head, Powder-Face and Two-
Hearts.
Carlisle students could well start a
menagerie with Two-Elks, Spy-Buck,
Two-Dogs, Side-Bear, Strange-Morse,

[Continued From First Page.]
Ancona case, received at Washington
last night, follows:
In answer to your very esteemed
note, Xo. 4.107, of the 21st instant, the
subscriber has the honor to lay the
following most respectfully before his
Excellency, the Ambassador of the
T'nlted States of America, Frederick
Courtland Penfleld:
The Imperial and Royal Govern
ment agrees thoroughly with the
American Cabinet that the sacred
commandments of humanity must be
observed also in war. Just as it has
hitherto given at no time and to no
person occasion to doubt its respect
for these commandments, in like man
ner also, in the whole course of this
war, which presents such pictures of
confusion of moral conceptions, has It
given numerous proofs of humanitar
ian sentiments toward enemies as well
as toward neutral States, and it was
not due to this government that It
was, a short time ago, not in harmony
with the Washington Cabinet precisely
on a question which it (the Austro-
Hungarlan Government), in harmony
with the entire public opinion in Aus
tria-Hungary. regarded as practically
a question of humanity.
Concurs on Principle
The Imperial and Royal Govern
ment can also substantially concur tn
the principle expressed in the very
esteemed note, that private ships. In
so far as they do not flee or offer re
sistance, may not be destroyed with-'
out the persons aboard being brought
Into safety.
The Imperial and Royal Govern
ment is very responsive to the assur
ance that the Federal Government
lays value upon seeing that the good
relations which happily exist between
Austria-Hungary and the United States
of America are. maintained. It recip
rocates this assurance most warmly,
and is now, as heretofore, concerned
to render these relations more hearty,
so far as lies in its power.
Guided by the same spirit of frank
ness as the Government of the Union,
the Imperial and Royal Government,
although it does not find in the note,
frequently referred to, the answer to
all the legitimate questions submitted
by it, is willing to communicate to the
Federal Government the result of the
Investigation, which in accordance
with existing departmental regulation
was begun immediately after the re
ceipt of the fleet report on the sinking
of the Ancona, and which has just re
cently been received.
The result of this investigation may
be summarized as follows:
On November 7, 1915, at 11:40
o'clock in the forenoon, the comman
der of the submarine observed, in lati
tude .'18.4 0 north, longitude 10.08 east,
in foggy weather, at a distance roundly
3,000 meters, and one point to star
board, the outlines of a large Italian
steamship. He took it at first for a
transport steamship and turned about
and fired from his rear gun a warning
shot far from the vessel.
Tried to Kscape
Simultaneously, he displayed the
signal "Leave the ship." The steam
ship did not stop, but rather turned
aside and sought to escape. The com
mander at first remained stopped for
some minutes tn order to Increase the
distance, since ho feared that the
steamship had a stern gun and would
fire at the submarine with it.
When the distance had reached
4.500 meters, he had the pursuit taken
up with full power and tired from his
forward gun, at a decreasing distance,
sixteen shells, among which he ob
served three hits.
During the chase the steamship
went zigzag and stopped only after
the third hit. Thereupon, the com
mander ceased firing.
During the flight the steamship had
already, while at full speed, let some
boats, with persons in them, fall,
which immediately capsined. After
stopping, the steamship began launch
ing boats.
From a distance of about 2.000
meters the commander saw that boats
were filled and rowed hastily away
from the steamship. Another boat
was capsized and floated keel up. The

people held on to tlie hanging linos
and to the capsized boat.
I'anic Observed
During the further approach ol tlie
submarine the commander saw tnai
a great panic reigned aboard, and
that he had to deal with a pnssenget
steamship, namely, the Ancona, iron
Genoa. Therefore, he gave the occu
pants of the steamship more time
than was required to leave the snip
in lifeboats. ...
At least ten lifeboats were
aboard, which would have more than
sufficed for the rescue of persons stilt
aboard. One of these boats hung,
full of people, half turned outward
011 Ihe davits.
Since, however, except for this, no
further move was made to lower boats,
the commander decided, after a lapse
of forty-five minutes, to torpedo the
ship in such a manner that it should
remain a considerable time afloat, in
order that, 011 the one hand, the get
ting of the people into the lifeboats
should be hastened, and that, on the
other, adequate opportunity should re
main for rescuing the persons still
aboard.
Shortly thereafter, a steamship be
came visible which was throwing out
heavy clouds of smoke, and headed
toward the Aneona. It apparently
had been summoned by the Ancona's
wireless.
Since the submarine commander
had to reckon on an attack by a
steamship which he took for an enemy
cruiser, he submerged after having, at
12:35 o'clock in the afternoon, had
a torpedo lired into the forward bag
gage hold of the Aneona from a dis
tance of 800 meters. The Ancona
listed about ten degrees to starboard
after this shot.
Therefore, an effort was made to
lower the lifeboat which already was
half turned out on the davits. It
broke loose, however, and fell into the
water. The lifeboat floated, keel down,
farther, and the people held fast to
the gunwale.
Forty-five .Minutes for Rescue
Of the other boats, none was* low
ered into the water, although persons
could still be observed aboard. The!
steamship gradually righted itself to
an even keel and settleil so slowly that
the submarine commander at first
doubted whether the steamship would
sink. Not until 1:20 o'clock did it
sink, after a lengthy parallel setting,
with the bow first.
During these further forty-five min
utes all persons yet aboard could have
been saved without difficulty with the
boats still on hand.
Prom the fact that this, contrary to
his expectations, was not done, the
commander concluded that the crew,
contrary to all seamen's customs, had
accomplished their own rescue with
the first boats and abandoned to them
selves the passengers ent rusted to their
protection.
The weather at tlie time of the In
cident was good and the sea calm, so
that the lifeboats could have reached
the nearest coast without danger, as
indeed the lifeboats actually were
damaged only by the unskilled lower
ing, but not after they had struck the
water.
The loss of human lives is, in the
first instance, by no means ascribable
to the sinking of the ship, but, and
in all probability in a much higher
measure, to the rapid lowering of the
boats during full speed, as we'l as to
the fact that the crew, concerned only
for itself, did not rescue the passen
gers of the capsized boats.
It is also probably ascribable ro
shots which hit the fleeing vessel, hut
the death of persons who sank with
the steamship is also, above all, ascrib
able to the disloyal conduct of the
crew.
As appears from the above adduced
state of affairs, the very esteemed note
of December is based in many points
011 incorrect premises. Information
reaching the Onited States Govern
ment that solid shot was immediately
fired toward the steamship is incor
rect; it is incorrect that the subma
rine overhauled the steamship durinn
the chase; it is Incorrect that only
a brief period was given for getting
the people into the boats.
Say Time Was Given
On the contrary, an unusually long
period was granted to the Ancona for
getting passengers in the boats.
Finally, it is incorrect that a num
ber of shells were si ill lired at the
steamship after it had stopped.
The facts of the ease demonstrate
further that the commander of the
submarine granted the steamship a
full forty-five minutes' time -that is,
more than an adequate period to sjlve
the persons aboard an opportunity to
take to the boats. Then, since the
people were not all saved, he carried
out the torpedoing in such a manner
that the ship could remain above wa
ter the longest possible time, doinp
this with the purpose of making p os .
slide the abandonment of the vessel
with boats still in hand.
Since the ship remained a further

BERLIN I'AI'KKS DON'T
COMMENT ON ISEI'IJY
Berlin, Dec. 31, via London, Jan.
1. — Ihe newspapers here lind this
Austro-Hungarian reply to the de
mands ot the United States concern
ing the sinking of the Ancona too
delicate a ground to permit of com
ment. They arc undoubtedly influ
enced in this attitude by a certain de
sire of the German government to see
the incident smoothed over and avoid
complicating the negotiations by in
judicious comment which would be
apt to stir up ill feeling.
DIPLOMATIC RETREAT
The Hague, via London, Dec. 31.
The Nieue Courant in an editorial
characterizes the Austro-Hungarian
reply to the note from tho United
States regarding the Ancona Incident
as veiled in diplomatic retreat. Tho
paper adds that tho readiness of tho
Vienna government to compensate tho
victims even with a "gap in the Amer
ican evidence" shows that Austro-
Hungary is anxious to maintain good
relations with America but that this
is not so important as Washington'#
victory over Vienna on the submar
ine question.
Aked, New Peace Quest
Leader, Breaks Down
Copenhagen, via London, Jan. 1. —
It is considered probable that the Ford
peace expedition will charter a small
vessel at a cost of $50,000 and sail
direct from Copenhagen next Wednes
day for The Hague, where they will
arrive three days later.
When the members of the mission,
after their arrival in Copenhagen, set
tled down to consider their peace
plans they discovered that the entire
program arranged by the local au
thorities consisted of visits to places of
interest.
Stockholm. Jan. I.—The Rev. Dr.
Charles F Aked was unable to accom
pany the Ford peace pilgrimage to
Copenhagen because of a nerv6us
breakdown. The peace quest thus has
lost one of its most active members
and leaders. It was Dr. Aked who
precipitated the big squabble 011 tlui
Oscar II over "preparedness" and who
by leap-frogging over the Rev. Dr.
Jenkin Llovd Jones excited the wrath
of Henr.v I'ord. Mr. Ford vainly trying
to suppress the picture of the incident,
