14 JURY CONVICTS SEVEN ELECTION LAW VIOLATORS Fifth Ward Conspiracy Trial Ends in Verdicts Against Defendants West Chester, Aug. 14.—A1l of the seven defendants in the Fifth ward conspiracy trial were found guilty last night on the two counts on which they had been indicted. The charges are: Conspiracy to volate the Shern law and conspiracy to prevent a free and fair election by use of threats, force and intimidation. The maximum penalty for each of the charges is two years' imprisonment. Isaac Deutsch, former select coun cilman; Lieutenant David Bennett and five policemen who were'found guilty, were all locked in the jury room for the night in the custody of the sheriff of the county. Judge Hause. who heard the case, virtually informed William A. Gray, counsel for the defendants, that their bail of SIO,OOO each for Deutsch end Bennett and that of $5,000 for each of the policemen, would be doubled. Application for a new trial was made. Mr. Gray made a request for a stay in sentence pending a'rgument on the motion. Judge Hause granted the motion for argument on the application, and instructed Assistant District Attor ney Taulane and Air. Gray to confer on a date for argument. Mr. Gray tried to have the time for argument set so that if the motion is then granted the trial would be held in December, but Mr. Taulane objected on the grounds that this would de lay the trial too long. Courtroom Crowded The trial which grew out of the murder of Policeman Eppley at th_e primary election in September, 1917, attracted targe growds of politicians and friends of the defendants to the court. When the verdict was unex pectedly announced, the crowd seem ed crazed with excitement. The jury after having deliberated for nine hours and eleven minutes reached a verdict at 9.05 p. m. Judge Hause was sent for and ho arrived ten minutes later. Counsel for the defendants were there and also all of the defendants. In reply to the query of the Judge, Leroy Johnson, farmer of Upper Ox ford, announced in loud voice that the jury had found the defendants all guilty on each of the two counts on which they had been tried. Mr. Gray then moved that each of the jurors be polled individually on each count and for each of the defend ants. Judge Hause granted the mo lion and for more than a half hour he asked each of the jurors questions as to their decision. Fourteen ques tions in all were asked of each juror and amounted to 158 for the entire jury. The bail of the defendants prior to the verdict amounted to $4 5,009, and this is expected to be doubled. The defendants are also under in dictment on charges of conspiracy to commit assault and battery, con spiracy to commit aggravated as sault and battery and conspiracy to commit murder. These latter indict ments, found by the grand jury in Philadelphia, were not before the West Chester court. Williams Grove Picnic 2nd Annual Farmers' and Industrial Exhibit Williams Grove, Penna.

RAILROAD RUMBLES NEW LOCOMOTIVES WILL GIVE RELIEF icventcen French Moguls Pass Through Enroutc to Balti more; Some Go South I Federal railroad officials see relief in the arrival of new engines from the various engine-building plants. At the present rate it is estimated that by November 1 enough motive power will be in service to assure a big improvement over conditions that existed last winter. With the scarcity of cars and en gines. in evidence some months ago. business moved slowly, but much has been overcome. Cars are no longer a scarcity, except at some points. Coal is being moved in large quan tities, and the government needs are being well supplied. New Engines Daily Lack of engines has been a big drawback in prompt handling of oars. Now it is said that soon this trouble will be a thing of the past. The recent order to ship all French engines abroad was the first evidence that motive power was improving. Last night seventeen French engines passed through Harrisburg en route to Baltimore shops where they will be overhauled and later sent abroad. Six large engines for the Norfolk and Western Railroad also passed through Harrisburg and will be de livered at Hagerstown to-day.

Navy Patrols Wasliington, Aug. 15.—Secretary of the Navy Daniels yesterday di rected the commandant of the Sixth Naval District to investigate the statement of officers of a British steamship that the vessel engaged in a running fight with a U-boat off Sandy Hook Tuesday morning and t'or two hours sent out SOS signals without seeing a naval patrol vessel or airplane. The tight between the British steamship and U-boat started sev enty-five miles off Sandy Hook and east of Fire Island. It ended forty miles off Fire Island after the steamer had exhausted its supply of ammunition. Officials here intimated that if no patrol craft were in that vicinity and within reach during a period of two hours somebody was seriously at fault. PASS HOLDERS GET WARNING Must Give Up Seats to Trav elers Who Pay; Failure May Result Seriously All passengers who pay fare must be given a seat. If there is not enough cars on a train to accommo date travelers an additional car must be added. This is the latest order from Washington. Just now there is a great variety of cars in service in the east. This is explained by one official as a result of the order to provide cars for travelers. 'lf the Pennsy or Reading need additional equipment and there is none of their own handy, any car in sight, whether it came front the far west or north, is commandeered and put into serv ice. Use Foreign Cnr.s It is a daily occurrence to see local trains on the Pennsylvania Railroad and Reading Railway haul ing cars belonging to the Denver and Rio Grande, Union Pacific, Santa Fe and other western lines. In con nection with the order to accom modate all who pay car fare there is also a rumor that passholders will be denied certain privileges, and may be obliged to travel on trains speci fied by federal directors. It is also reported that pass privileges may be rescinded. The Philadelphia Ledger to-day says: "Free riders on railway trains holding complimentary passes as em ployes or for any other reason are in danger of losing the privilege. The federal management of the railways sent yesterday to passholding em ployes a notice signed by Ellsha Lee, federal manager of railways in the Allegheny region, with the approval of Regional Director Markham, im pressing upon them the obligation of courtesy to the public and 1 the neces sity of giving preference in seating accommodations to travelers who pay. Superintendents Notified "The notice was followed by a let ter addressed to the superintendent of each division of the Pennsylvania Railroad system calling attention to the obligation resting on free riders and insisting that the purport of the notice shall be strictly observed. An official of the federal management said indifference to this requirement would result in the recall of the pass privilege of the person to whom it was issued. Free Riders Stand "Attention was recently drawn to the fact that on one of tne suburban lines of the Pennsylvania Railroad as many as thirty or forty paying com muters were frequently observed standing in trains while seats were occupied by persons traveling on passes. On one of the divisions of the Pennsylvania Railroad in the western part of the state all passes issued to free riders bear a stamped indorsement on the back that seats must not be occupied when passen gers with paid tickets are standing. " 'I believe it is the custom for a free rider to get up and give his seat to a woman standing in a car,' said an official of Federal Manager Lee's office. 'But this is nothing more than a courtesy that might be expected from a paying rider. The point is that no paying rider should stand in a crowded railway car, wheth er a man or a woman, when a person riding free occupies a seat. And it is the policy of the management to see that the ethics in such cases are fully observed, even to the extrem ity of recalling a pass." The text of the notice sent to pass holding employes is as follows: "In view of the reduction in pas senger train service, required as a war measure to aid the movement of troops, government supplies and freight, all employes riding on passes should be especially careful in ob serving their courteous obligation not to occ.upy seats when pay passengers are standing. Show Courtesy "An employe using a pass is en joying a privilege of transportation. "A passenger holding a ticket has bought and paid for a right of trans portation which must be regarded in every way superior. "Under war conditions trains will at times unavoidably be crowded. It may not always be possible to give every passenger a seat, but certainly none should stand while railroad men holding passes are seated. "The obligation of an employe in such a case is plain and rests upon the principles of courtesy and right. It may be performed without em barrassment to any one and without attracting needless attention by sim ply rising and moving quietly to an other part of the car or train. "The success of the railroads in coping with the great burdens which the war is laying upon them depends largely upon their ability to retain the confidence and win the co-opera tion of the public. "Every employe who shows cour tesy and consideration helps toward this end; every one who fails In these respects hinders it.

Gasoline and Oil Rumors Denied by War Industry Board Washington, Aug. 15.—The War In dustries Board authorizes the follow ing: "The attention of the War Indus tries Board and the United States Fuel Administration has been called to the wide prevalence, throughout the United States of a mistaken im pression that some order or recom mendation has been issued from Washington with respect to the sale of oil and gasoline. In some places, local automobile dealers' associations have even issued circulars laying down the rule that dealers in oil and gasoline must make no sale of these products on Sundays and holidays or after 6 p. m. on other days, and stat ing 'lt is now an order from Wash ington.' "No such order or recommendation has been issued by any government authority or with any governmental approval. The Fuel Administration has urged that wasteful practices in the use of oil and gasoline be stopped and that all reasonable and proper measures of conservation be observed. No limitations, however, have been placed upon the sale of these pro ducts. £ "It is not intended to interfere in any way with the activities of auto mobile dealers' associations or others who, after consideration of the local conditions, may seek to bring about some limitation upon the hours dur ing which oil and gasoline shall be sold to the public; but it is desired that it be clearly understood that no orders or recommendations have been issued by any governmental authority upon this subject."

KEYSTONE BOYS PAY VALOR'S PRICE Toll of Dead and Wounded Attests Courage of the Charges Which Drove Germans From the Ourcq in Full Flight Washington, Aug. 15.—Pennsylva-I nia hoys who were in the thick of the fighting which broke the German grip on the heights of the Ourcq river, and sent them scurrying uack to the Vesle, had a bloody baptism as they pressed their charges home. Casualties announced in telegrams from the War Department mention, among others, Company H, of Wash ington, Pa., and Company K, of Greene county, units of the 110 th In fantry.

The town of Somer set, with 2,700 population, suffered thirty-two casualties alone. The regi ment is made up of the former Tenth which fought in the Philippine cam paign, and part of the Third, of this city. Other casualty lists show that the former Eighth, of Central Pennsyl vania. and Sixteenth, of Oil City, have had their baptism of fire. It was after this fighting that the correspondent of the Berlin Vaer warts wired to his paper from the German front: "The consensus of opinion among our front troops is that the fighting value of the Ameri can soldiers should in nowise be un derrated."
