Outside Three Mile l.irnit
Schiller had been told that as his
daring exploit occurred outside the
three mile limit, he would in ail
likelihood be taken to British posses
sions in the West Indies for trial for
piracy. Federal authorities and rep
resentatives from the British govern
ment came here to-day to examine
Schiller and to decide what to do with
him. If the United States finds it has
no jurisdiction under international
maritime law, he will be turned over
to the representatives of Great
Britain.
An examination into Schiller's men
tal condition will be made. Those
who have talked with him believe he
is irresponsible and that his story of
his career is not true.

Schiller was reluctant to tell his his
tory. "I was born in Germany," he
said. "Never mind the town or my
parents' name. 1 have been in this
country one year, in New York three
weeks. 1 was sent by the German
government to England soon after the
war started, and at Germany's request
I enlisted in the British navy and was
assigned to the training ship Conway
at Liverpool.
"I want to say right now that there
are several thousand Germans in the
British navy. I know what this

SILENCE FOLLOWS
JOHNSON'S LETTER
RESIGNING POST
Neither Governor Nor Atty.
Gen. Wil! Add to Replies
Made Last Evening
W. J. HONEY'S NAME HEARD
Chief Examiner Is Mentioned
For Head of the Insurance
Department
The first break in the State ad
ministration as the result of the
candidacy of Governor Martin G.
Brumbaugh for the Republican nomi
nation for President and the contest
for control of the Republican State
committee came last night about 6
o'clock when Insurance Commissioner
Charles Johnson, Republican leader of
Montgomery county, sent his resigna
tion to the Governor, who accepted it.
For days Capitol Hill and men who
observe politics have been expecting
an explosion as the result of the man
ner in which Attorney General Francis
Shunk Brown and others in the inner
council of the State administration
have been conducting the campaign
in the interest of the Governor's
candidacy and control of the State
committee on the side. But no one
was prepared for the dramatic man
ner in which the veteran Johnson
hurled his defiance at the political
manager of the Governor's campaign,
while officially severing his connection
with the government. Even the
startling moves in •he famous contest
of 1895 were not in the same class as
the politics played by Johnson and
the events of 1912 pale into in
significance compared to what oc
curred in an hour last night. What
the effect will bo no one can foresee.
The Governor has been dragged into a
controversy and scathing denuncia
tion of methods being used in his
name and for his interest have come
from a man who has been on the in
side. Hope of harmony has disap
peared from Capitol Hill.
Johnson's Climax
The close of Mr. Johnson's connec
tion with the administration stirred
llarrisburg as it has not been stirred
for many, many months. For days it
has been rumored that the insurance
commissioner was antagonistic 1o the
attitude of the Attorney General and
that he was bitterly resentful of things
being done by another high official,
head of a branch of the State govern
ment not supposed 1o meddle with
politics. Mr. Johnson came here on
Tuesday and spent most of the time
since in iiis office working to get af
fairs in shape. He had again and
again declined to make a statement.
To questions whether he would re
sign he returned a blunt refusal to
11 alk.
About 4:30 o'clock yesterday after
| noon the Insurance Commissioner
shook hands with his office force and
; left the Capitol. When he locked his
; desk he sent a letter to the Governor
i resigning and giving as the reason a
I letter sent simultaneously to the At
torney General, fairly sizzling with
criticism. Then he went to Norris
town. He said nothing when he left.
111-own Surprised
Mr. Brown was preparing to leave
when he got the Johnson letter and he
immediately went to the Executive
1 Mansion where he met the Governor
'who nad also received a communica
tion in writing from the Insurance
Commissioner. Soon after 5 o'clock
, word that Johnson had resigned got
1 out. but efforts to get any informa
j tion at . the office or residence of the
| Governor, the office of the Attorney
i General and the office of the insurance
jCommissioner were alike unavailing.
Then Mr.' Johnson's letters were made
public and at <! o'clock the Gover
nor's office announced acceptance of
i the resignation.
Early last evening the Attorney
General "came back" at the late In-
Isurance Commissioner, passing the lie
and using harsh words io express his
opinion of him.
State officialdom relapsed into
silence, but individually plenty was
! said.
Silence the Rule
} People connected with the State
j government from the high officials
I down to the clerks were rivals to the
sphynx to-day. Governor Brumbaugh's
! refusal to add to his letter of accept
ance of the Johnson resignation last
I night was taken as a cue by every
; one connected with Capitol Hill and
| caution and silence were more than
i usually prevalent. State officials, in
cluding some who have been said from
i time to time to be opposed to the
methods for the furtherance of the
Governor's campaign, refused point
blank to talk About developments or
! possibilities.
| None of those mentioned by the
Attorney General as attending the
conference of State officials and others
I would talk, either.
While officials were silent there was
' considerable speculation about the
successor to Johnson and William J.
Roney, examiner in chier, a Philadel
phian and nephew of David Martin,
former Secretary of the Common
wealth and insurance commissioner
Improves your skin
while cleansing it
Almost any soap will clean the
skin and hair. Many toilet soaps
are pure enough to do so without
injuring these delicate textures. But
those who want a soap which not
only cleanses but actually helps the
complexion and hair are wise to
choose Resinol Soap.
The soothing, healing properties
of Resinol enable it to protect the
skin and scalp from annoying erup
tions, keep the complexion clear,
and the hair rich and lustrous. This,
soaps which are merely pure and
cleansing cannot be expected to do.
When the skin is in bad condition, through
neglect or an unwise use of cosmetics, spread
on just a little Kesinol Ointment for ten or
fifteen minutes before using Resinol Soap.
Kesinol Soap and Ointment art sold by all
druggists.

The assumption is that the Attorney
! General having been defied in the
Capitol because of his methods will
now proceed to make his organization
effective and no one here would be
surprised at political activity.
How He Resigned
The letter to the Governor was as
| follows:
lion. Martin G. Brumbaugh,
Governor of Pennsylvania,
Ilarrisburg, Pennsylvania:
My Dear Governor—l hereby tender
my resignation from the position of
! Insurance Commissioner of Pennsyl
vania. to take effect at your earliest
convenience.
My reasons for taking this step are
set forth in a letter I have this day
sent to Honorable Francis Shunk
r Brown, your Attorney General, a copy
j of which 1 herewith enclose.
Respectfully yours,
(Signed) CHARLES JOHNSON.
I/cttcr to Brown
The letter to air. Brown read:
Harrisburg. March 30, 1916.
Hon. Francis -Shunk Brown,
Attorney-General of Pennsylvania,
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania:
My Dear Sir—T am in receipt of the
following letter on the stationery of
your department, bearing date of
March 21,
"Hon. Charles Johnson,
"Norristown, Pa.:
"Sly Dear Sir—l beg to suggest the
importance of obtaining declarations
or Interviews from the prominent
people of your district who arc favor
jable to the Governor and the stand
which he has taken for the reuniting
|of the party, etc. These, from Re
! publicans and from Progressives who
I left the party and have since re
j turned, will be most effective. They
| will be given publicity throughout the
l State.
"Please give this your present,
earnest, attention and send such decla
rations, together with any other mat
ter which you deem to be of interest
and that will be helpful to me.
' With assurances of my regard and
good wishes. I am,
"Very truly yours,
(Signed)
"FRANCIS SHUNK BROWN."
j Although my name and address
have been filled in on the typewriter,
| and the signature is your own, the
letter is plainly a mimeographed copy,
and has doubtless been sent to every
other State official who responded to
your summons to a meeting held in
the Governor's private oflice at the
Capitol on March 16. Although I have
taken an active part in politics for
many years, 1 have never seen any
thing comparable with that meeting or
with your mimeographed order of
March 21.
The men whom you called together
In the Governor's room are paid by the
people of this Commonwealth to trans
act the public business in their various
departments and not to advance the
interest of any man or clique in Penn
sylvania politics.
In spite of that fact, you told us in
so many words that we were holding
; our jobs by the grace of Governor
Brumbaugh, and that any one of us
who would not or could not deliver
the district for the Governor at the
presidential primaries in May would
find his position with the adminis
tration decidedly uncomfortable.
For sixteen years I have served this
Commonwealth in various capacities.
During all that time I have never he-
I fore been told that the price of hold
; ing office was personal service and not
! public service. It has never been Intl
' mated to me heretofore that the con-
I trol of the voters of my county was
what would be expected of me, rather
! than the efficient management of the
public trusts placed in my hands.
The presumption shown in attempt -
I ing to purchase Brumbaugh votes with
salaries paid by the State of Pennsyl
vania is probably without precedent In
American politics.
T desire to Inform you that I will
not take such orders. I will not en
deavor to persuade or Inveigle promi
nent men in my district into making
the declarations I have been asked to
| procure, that these declarations may
[ be circulated, as has been alleged, at
jthe Stae's expense through the State's
' publicity channels.
Inasmuch as you are the recognized
personal and political adviser of Gov
ernor Brumbaugh, and as such must
be acting in harmony with his wishes
and instructions, I have this day for
warded to the Governor my resig
nation, copy of which I enclose.
Very truly yours.
(Signed) CHARLES JOHNSON,
Insurance Commissioner.
Governor Accepts
The Governor's acceptance of the
resignation was as follows:
"J am in receipt of ysur letter of
even date tendering your resignation
as Insurance Commissioner of this
Commonwealth.
"I am greatly surprised that you
should have taken this action without
one word of conference with me con
cerning the matter you refer to in your
letter to Attorney General Brown, a
copy of which you enclose. You know
full well you and I have never had one
word directly or indirectly in refer
ence to the subject matter of that con
ference. nor was I in Harrisburg when
the meeting was held. To say the
least you have grossly misunderstood,
if not misrepresented in toto, what I
learn definitely was the spirit and pur
pose of that meeting.
"It may not be amiss to say to you
that when almost one year ago your
reappointment to the position you now
hold was under consideration, I was
constrained to act favorably at the
urgent request of Hon. Charles A. Am
bler. of your home county.
"t think it only right to say this
much to you in accepting your resig
nation—which I now do."
Brown Passes Lie
Attorney General Francis Shunk
Brown, in commenting on the letter of
Insurance Commissioner Johnson to
him, said at Philadelphia last night:
"My letter to him is the only truth
ful statement in the Johnson com
munication. That means just what it
says. It was sent to a few office hold
ers. representative Republicans and to
other representative citizens. All the
rest of his letter is a series of false
hoods, and all present at that meet
ing, among whom were George W.
Sweeney, Beaver; William Lauder,
Biddlesburg: J. Banks Kurtz, Altoona;
Dr. E. L. Wasson, Butler; Harry Kel
ler, Bellefonte; Milton W. Shreve,
Erie: W. 11. Manbeck, Mifllintown;
Charles H. Young, New Castle: Fred
erick A. Godcharles, Milton; W. D. B.
Ainey, Montrose, and Frank B. Beack,
Meyersdale, will so declare.
"The statement that 1 said to him
or any office holders that they held
their jobs by the grace of the Governor
and that any one of them who would
not or could not deliver his district for
the Governor at the presidential pri
mary would find his position with the
administration decidedly uncomfort
able Is a lie out of the whole cloth and
he well knows it. Nothing was said
by me or by anyone from which such
an inference could even be distorted.
The subject discussed was the stand
the Governor had taken to bring to
gether all Republicans, that there
should be a united party at the com
ing national convention. Johnson
joined in the discussion and of his own
accord promised that there would be
a Brumbaugh delegate from Mont
gomery county. The whole letter Is a
series of wanton falsehoods and fabri
cations without the slightest, founda
tion in truth, and as it was evidently
inspired and prepared by others sev
eral days ago a tthe Hotel Stenton, at
Broad and Spruce streets, this city, for
political purposes. 1 hope he received
a sufficient price and took no promises
for his degeneracy and self-stultifica
tion."
