U-BOAT READY
FOR RETURN TRIP
Cargo About Loaded, but
Koenig Won't Give Hour
of Leaving
Baltimore. July 18. That the
German merchant submarine Deutsch
land would finish loading- her cargo
by to-night and b« ready to leave
within a few hours was the belief to
day of observers who have been close
ly watching the boat and activities
about her since she was docked here
on Monday mornins of last week.
It was recalled to-d&y that Cap
tain Paul Koenig had stated to cus
toms officials when he entered his ar
rival at the customs house that he
thought he would sail on his return
voyage within ten days. That period
is up to-morrow. The captain had not
applied for his clearance papers at
tfte customs house up to noon to-day.
Captain Koenig answered all questions
as to the Deutschland's departure
.with a smile, saying " that would be
\ ery interesting intormation I'm sure."
officials of the Eastern forwarding
Company were as reticent as Captain
Koenig. "We cannot and will not say
when the boat will start back," was
their invariable response.
Stevedores engaged in loading and
stowing the cargo said the crude rub
ber and nickel composing it will be
all stored Inside the boat before
nightfall.
Tells Story of Trip
Here's a story' of the trip of the'
Deutschland by a member of the crew.
"I've been with this green little devil
from the moment she got her nose wet
for the first time," he said. "I've been
with her on every trial trip ana
wi've had many of them. 1 have been
with her even when she was put back
into dock time and again, when ex
periments proved that in this nook or
that corner something was wrong, or
at least could be better. Tnis is the
first time I've been oft the boat. And.
do you know, I'm homesick. No, not
as you think, not for my country and
my family. I'm homesick for my little
bunk down there on the Deutschland i
and fo." the whole of her.
"Bad air. Oily! Oh. well, whoever
is bothered by such things would bet
ter keep of! a U boat and get a Job
on the Vaterland.
"I noticed the old man told report
ers our trip was uneventful. Ha, ha! i
There s excitement in every minute, |
e\ery second. Of course, that doesn't I
mean that a warship is lurking over
head in every part of the ocean Any
way, warships are not our enter con
cern. They bother us little. It's the
merchant ships of all sorts, and sizes,
that we worry about. And, you know,
the meanest feeling in the whole busi- i
ness is when you see one of them glide ■
by quite near and you haven't got a
torpedo to send into her.
"We were not attacked »y a singre
ship on our trip here. In that respect
the oid man is right: the trip was un
eventful. But we had a lot of fun;
and the old man knows it, too. Bu
he is a wise fellow, the captain is. and
he knows how to talk to American re
porters—he's been through It manv
times.
Stoking Hardest Job
"What is the hardest job on a sub
marine Stoker.
"The best? To be on guard in the
conning tower: still, that is in a way
the hardest too. But there isn't that
stifling heat that threatens any minute
to make you fall dead. In the conning
tower you feel like the guardian or
the boat Tou peer out into the dark
res.- that is. as much and as often
as old man Neptune lets you. Like a
nutshell, the boat jingles and staggers
and stamps—up and down, up" ana
down— and all the time your face is
spar/ a and splashed by the salt
water and the storm wind whips vour
ears. There's not a light around.' All
is black, and around you goes a howl
that you dread the first few nights,
but soon get to love."
"And down below?*' ventured the
reporter.
"Ah. it's different down there, quite
different—deafening, deadening noise
and heat. You see there's not a single
opening to let the heat out. Tou have
to stick it out down there until the
storm is over, and storms m the At
lantic don't blow over in a hurry.
"You cannot think, you cannot sleep
down there when there's a storm and
the hatches are shut. You can do
nothing but mechanically do vour
duty. If you're off duty you wish you
were on. for you can't sleep and can't
think; you're continuously at the
verge of becoming crazy. The only
thing that eaves you is the realiza
tion that you have to pull through
and keep your reason. one TOOK of
weakness or despair will bring you a
look from your comrades that will
rial.-! your blood freese with shame.
Oh, it happens to all of us once in a
while.
One Almost ColLapie*
"The only spot where there ts an
occasional whiff of air is in the center.
1-eneath the conning tower. To starw
guard there is a comparatively pleas
ant job, but it is hot. hot enough to
n'.ake life miserable.
"One of the boys almost collapsed a
few days before we approached the
American coast.
"Yes. we have beer on board, but
not a drop of it' is taken on stormy
oayt or nights. We all tried at one
time or another to quench our thirst
with b er in our rest hours, only to
suffer more intensely when we were
back at our posts. It makes one per
spire a hundred times worse than
water."
Deutschland's Sister,
The Bremen, Coming?
Berlin. July 17. via London, July

FIRST EXHIBIT
ON NEW FAIR SITE
Especially For Oliver Chilled
Plow, but Public Is
Welcome
The Oliver Chilled Plow Works is
holding the first big demonstration on
the site of the Keystone State Fair and
Industrial Exposition Company, near
Middietown. A big tent has been
pitched there and a carload of farm
machinery is at work with a large au
dience in attendance. The demon
stration will continue to-morrow. It
is especially for salesmen of the com
| pany.
H. A. Becwith, in charge of the
demonstration, said:
i "We are demonstrating several types
j of two. three and four furrow tractor
plows which we appreciate will be
\ ery interesting to a great many farm
ers and agricultrrists, who. during the
past year, have recognized the economy
of tractor plowing and are now con
. tidering the purchase of such outfits.
"We will gladly welcome visitors any
time during the demonstration. How
ever, this field meeting is not a white
collar affair, for most of us will be in
overalls, trying to learn all we can
about our own toois, rather than look
ing wise and telling about them.
We appreciate that a traction en- i
gine or two and a large tent with a
display of farm implements, together
with twenty or twentv-five salesmen
and the necessary teams or mules, at
tracts more or less attention, especiallv
from the fact that we are located be
tween the railroad and the State high
way. We are very busy, and while we
are very glad to welcome visitors, vet
we do not want anyone to be dis
appointed if our salesmen do not stop
their work and talk tools as would
naturally be expected at an advertising
demonstration."

ing assessment.
Mr. Gorgas said he had been ac
cused of deliberately trying to delay
the passage of the measure He only
wished. he said, to go upon record as
being opposed to the payment of the
sum for no other reason than that he
j doesn't believe the precedent that will
thus be set. will work out to the ad
vantage of city and the taxpayers gen
erally. Mr. Gross had a similar com
| plaint. "Too often suggestions and
even open threats are made to coun
cilmen." he said, "and I'll say right
here." he declared finally, "that I don't
intend to permit this even if it be
necessary to invoke the act of assem
bly on the subject."
Council authorized the payment to
Mrs. Lewis C. Hippie of S3O per month
for a period of 800 weeks in accord
ance with the workmen's compensa
tion. requirements growing out of the
: death of the former patrolman while
in city service. The city also will pay
' 8100 on account of the funeral ex
penses. A resolution making the ap
propriation for this year was passed.
Ordinances passed finally included
I the following:
Paving Maclay street bridge ap
proach at expense of the Pennsylvania
Railroad company; striking Kunkel

WILSON CONFERS
I ON LEGISLATION
■Visits Capitol in Effort to Get
■ Compensation and Child
Labor Bills in Program
i Washington, D. C.. July 18. Short
-Ily afternoon to-day President Wilson
went to the Capitol. It was the first
visit he had made thtre In months.
At the Capitol the President con
ferred in his private room with Sena
i tor Kern, the Democratic leader. It
was understood that the President is
, very desirous of having the working
men's compensation and child labor
' bills included in the legislative pro
i gram. They were sidetracked by the
) caucus.
j It was announced at the White House
i last week that the President planned
to write a letter to Senator Kern urg
ing the adoption of the workman's com
pensation act and the child lahor bill.
\ esterday Vance C. McCormick, chair
man of the Democratic national com
mittee. stated that the President did
not want to be formally notified of his
renomination until Congress had ad
' Journed. and it was intimated that a
delay in adjournment was expected be
cause of the President's insistence that
, these measures be passed.
Visit Vnexpected
. The President's visit to the Capitol
j was entirely unexpected to administra
j tion leaders. When he reached the
I Capitol Building he went direct to his
room. There was no one to meet him.
but at that moment a Senate attendant
passed the door. The President called
to him.
"Young man." said the President,
"could you get Senator Kern for me?"
The clerk returned with the majority
leader from Indiana. They conferred
for several minutes, after which Sena
tor Martin, of Virginia, and Vice-Presi
dent Marshall entered the President's
room.
The conference concerned the legisla
tive program and the time of adjourn
ment of Congress which the Demo
crats have tentatively fixed at August
19. The President, it is understood,
urged that the child labor and work
men s compensation measures be in
cluded in the imperative legislative
program. He sought to bring about an
arrangement that would not delay ad
journment. as he wished to begin the
campaign not later than September 1,
and notification ceremonies necessarily
must be held prior to that time.
Senator Kern, while not revealing the
details of the conference, said he
thought any change of plans would not
mean any postponement of adjourn
ment.

Wanted Good WIU
Herr Zimmerman goes on to say
that the political reasons which shaped
Germany's policy at the time included
the wish to preserve the good will of
neutrals and adds:
"But if Great Britain succeeds in
making neutrals passively or actively
hostile to us, one important reason for

"Even America should comprehend
and appreciate the situation as it
would be changed for the central pow

Herr Zimmerman then intimates In
( a veiled manner, being unable to dis
cuss this phase more freely, that the
submarine power of Germany has un
dergone a favorable change since

with the strikers, but the significance
of the meeting was the advice always
given when some of the people said
they would create disturbances to help
the strikers win their cause. The strik
ing employes told many of their friends
that they would win more quickly if
no violence was resorted to.
No demonstrations were evident
during the morning and the crowds
were smaller and orderly. Little jeer
ing of the men cperating the cars was
noticed.
People Inconvenienced
All of the men are planning another
street parade to-night, but nothing
definite has been decided. Mr. Thorpe
annourced at noon that he was not
sure whether it would be advisable to
parade again.
The people this morning were com
pelled to ride in jitneys or walk to
work, and from 5.30 o'clock until 8
o'clock the streets were full of men
and women. Jitneys of all kinds did
a big business and piled up large re
ceipts in the early hours. A number
of the downtown stores? yesterday and
to-day provided truck service to bring
their employes to work, and late to
day sent them home again in autos.
Every conveyance in the city available
for jitney purposes was utilized by the
owner for the convenience of the pub
lic and the patronage was certain. Few
of the autos were seen without several
passengers at all hours of the day.
When the cars were withdrawn from
the city lines the autos were the only
means of conveyance for the people,
and the number gradually increased.
Residents in suburban places who
usually depend on the car service were
brought in on large trucks in many
instances and owners of private cars
hauled their friends free of charge.
When car service of any sort will

The first attempt at violence came
last night, when sympathizers of the
striking employes damaged three
cars manned by nonunion employes.
The crew on the one car was saved
from threatened violence by policemen
who held the mob at bay.
The trouble started shortly after 6
o'eic k, when there were just 15 cars
on the various lines. Cars coming into
Market Square from Allison Hill,
Steclton and Hummelstown, were de
layed more than an hour by men who
collected at Cameron and Market
streets and blocked the tracks.
Tied Up All Xight
At 7:30 o'clock railways company
officials decided to send all of the cars
to the barns, and from that time until
7:30 o'clock this morning, the city
and suburban points had no car serv
ice.
Disorder started In Walnut street
when thousands of men and boys cut
trolley ropes on two cars, split open
air brake tubes and smashed win
dows. Sheriff William W. Caldwell
and Superintendent of Detectives
Windsor responded to riot calls and
were threatened by the crowds, until
It was learned that they were officers
of the law. The mob then gave way
and permitted the crews to take the
cars to the barns.
Police Disperse Mob
Detective Schelhas, Police Sergeant
Einenberger and Officer Whiting were
sent to Cameron and Market streets,
to disperse the mob that had gathered
there and hurled stones through the
car windows. An attempt was made
to attack the motorman and conduc
tor, and when the officers arrived they
were pushed back against a brick
wall They made a show of force and
the crowd gave way. The crew of the
car was escorted to Cameron and Mar
ket streets, where the men boarded a
jitney and went home. Shopmen of

the company removed the car which
liaO been abandoned.
One Hour to Go Six Blocks
At one time at Cameron and Mar
ket streets, four cars were blocked
before the crowds allowed the crews
to proceed to the square. Then the
sympathizers marched in front of the
cars and about an hour later the trol
leys arrived at Market Square. Here
the needs of the city police depart
ment were evident again. Detectives
Shul — and Speese, and Motorcycle
Officer Fetrow attempted to open the
way for the cars but were unsuccess
ful. When the signs were removed
fiom the cars and the crowd was sure
that the crews intended to go to the
bains, they cleared the tracks.
Not one of the strikers participated
in any of the riots or aided in the dis
order. Thorpe said the men are
determined to be orderly and do
not favor violence. Fair treatment is
all that is asked for by the striking
carmen he stated.
At least 200 Jitneys were in service
until 5 o'clock when the number in
ci eased to more than 500. Automo
biles. of all kinds from large trucks
to small touring cars were used, manv
of them placarded with signs showing
that the drivers sympathized with the
striking trolley men. Ten thousand
badges with inscriptions: "I walk,
why don't you;" and similar messages
were distributed among the crowds.
When the factories and stores closed
last evening, thousands of people
crowded the streets, walking home
from work and traffic increased
raridly. When the sidewalks became
overcrowded, the people filled the
streets, making It difficult for jitney
drivers to make headway.
Extra precautions have been taken
by company officials to guard the
property and special men have been
placed on duty at the North Cameron
street car barns, and at the power
plant in South Cameron street.
Chief of Police Zeil and Sheriff
Caldwell are keeping in close touch
with the situation, and every effort
will be made to maintain order.
For several hours last night Chief
of Police Zeil. Superintendent of De
tectives Windsor. President Frank B.
Miisfer. of the railways company, to
gether with other directors, conferred
on the situation, it was understood,
but after the conference, stated that
there was nothing for publication.
A big parade of the strikes was held
last night over the principal streets of
the- city, and many sympathizers fol
lowed the men. The first car to be
taken off the line yesterday was one
operating on the Progress line. Small
boys placed stones on the tracks and
caused trouble in Penbrook, so that
the officials deemed it advisable to
take the car off the line. This was
the first near suburban point to be
cut off from service during the day.
Only one arrest was made last
night during the riots. Captain
Thom. son arrested a man who gave
his name as Walter Matchett, aged 27,
for disorderly conduct.

At the close of the conference Mr.
Polk said there was nothing to be
announced further than that the con
ferences were "progressing favor
ably." Mr. Fletcher and Mr. Arre
dondo continued in conference after
Sir. Polk had gone to the cabinet.
Proceedings Favorable
Mr. Arredondo said his negotiations
with Mr. Polk had not reached a
point where a formal statement seem
ed justified. He agreed with the act
ing secretary's opinion, however, that
tne matter was proceeding m a favor
able way and added that formal an
nouncement of the plan to be followed
might be expected before the end of
the week.
Members of the cabinet after their

Scattered Villa Bands
Planning Another Raid;
Trevino Requests Vigilance
I Chihuahua City, Mex., July 18.
Several scattered groups of Villa fol
lowers have eluded the cordon of gov
ernment troops which surrounded
them in the Rio Florida hpttoms ancl
j have reassembled at Tanajas and Las
' Escobas, on the road to Ojinaga, and
are making their way north with the #
object of making another raid on the
I American border, according to confi*
idential advices to General Jacinto Tre
jvino. The advices, which came from
I Santa Rosalia, said the outlaws skirted
j Chihuahua City by traveling in small
: groups to the little settlements north
i east of here.
! General Trevino immediately order
i ed th» commanders of the garrisons at
Ojinaga and Picdras to throw troops
■out in an attempt to intercept the ban
; dits. whose numbers were estimated at
about 200. He pointed out, however,
I that the nature of the terrain is such
that some of the outlaws might evado
the government troops and suggested
that it would be well for military au
thorities on the American side of the
frontier to be especially vigilant.
"With the advent of the rainy sea
son," he said, "the abundant water
supply makes it easy for small bands to
deviate from beaten roads and old
water holes. However, the Mexican
troops will do everything they can to
prevent the bandits reaching the Am
erican border."
Francisco L. Trevino. civil governor
of Chihuahua, announced that he had
investigated the reported seizure of
the Hearst ranch at Babieora and had
determined, he said, that the property
was not confiscated, but that the cat
tle were merely detained to prevent
the possibility of their being moved
across the border without paying duty.
Reports from General Luis Herrera
at Parral to-day Indicated quiet in that
district. General Martias Ramos has
yet engaged the main Villa band,
which is surrounded in Rio Florida
district, he said, but is pressing them
closely. The dispatches added that
strong forces had been ordered in
Santa Barbara and other mining set
tlements in the district to prevent pos
sibility of raids.
General Jose Isabel Robles, Canuto
Reyes and Hitario Rodriguez left for
San Luis Potosi,, where they have been
orjered to incorporate into the de
facto army the Cidallo brothers and
their followers who recently were
granted amnesty.
