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.

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.

Orders Probe of Charges
Against U. S. 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."

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

Greene county, units of the 110 th In

Two companies from this same
regiment, Company B, of Beaver
county, and Company C, of Somerset

thirty-two casualties alone. The regi
ment is made up of the former Tenth

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."
