ENGINEER SEES
NO SIGNAL SET
TO STOP DEATH
Saw No Warning Light Until
Within Few Car Lengths
of Coach, He Says
natavia, N. Y.. Jan. 13. —Officials
of the New Y'ork Central Railway to
day were continuing their investiga
tion to place the blame for the
wreck at South Byron yesterday in
which twenty-one persons were kill
ed.
Thirteen bodies remained uniden
tified in Batavia undertaking estab
lishments this morning. John Fried
ley, engineer of the Southwestern
Limited, which crashed into the rear
sleepers of the Wolverine Limited,
maintains that no block signal was
set against his train and that he
saw no warning light until he was
within a few car lengths of the Wol
verine, which had stopped to take
on an extra engine for a steep
grade. In this statement he is sup
ported by his fireman.
J. R. Dinan, superintendent of the
western division, said: "The flag
man claims that he went about
twenty-five car lengths to the rear
of his train to signal the second
train. Torpedos also were put on
the track. The statement of engi
neer Friedley differs materially from
that of the flagman. He admits, how
ever, that the signals were set at
danger when he went to look at
them after the accident."
Superintendent Everitt, of Syra
cuse, said Engineer Friedley was
"one of our most reliable employes."
The night was clear, Mr. Everitt
added, and the engineer should liavo
been able to see for a mile.
Engineer In Similar Wreck
It was recalled to-day that Engi
neer Friedley was in a similar wreck
twenty years ago. His train on that
occasion plowed into another at Ber
gen ,the next station on the Central
east of Byron, and several persons
were killed.
The list of identified dead this
morning was:
Franklin E. Leonard, Bear Lake,
Mich. •
S. D. Harvey, address unknown.
Ballard Jones, New Y'ork city,
Pullman porter.
Captain F. Staud-Jiminez, New
York city, (identification doubtful).
Thomas F. Cummins, New Y'ork
city.
George F. Bigby, New Y'ork city.
Patrick Dougherty, New York
city.
Mrs. Jennie Levine, New Y'ork
city.
But Three Escape From Car
The three persons seriously injur
ed in the wreck are in Batavia Hos
pital. Physicians hold out little hope
for the recovery of Miss Flora
Dougherty, ,of Flint, Mich., but Mr.
and Mrs. Nathan Liehterman, of
New Y'ork city, will recover it was
said. These three were the only
ones to escape alive from the last I
sleeping car on the Wolverine,
crushed under the second coach
which had buckled under the tre
mendous impact.
One of the remarkable features
of the wreck was the fact that none
of the passengers in this second
coach from the end of the Wolver
ine was injured. The rear end of
the cai was lifted high in the air
by the force of the collision and
then it dropped through the roof
of the ill-fated last car, but all of
the passengers escaped except for
bruises and shock.
An army nurse whose name was
not learned calmed the people in
this car and they made their way
to the ground by ladders.
The woman first listed as Miss
Flora Doherty, of Flint, Mich., died
at the Batavia Hospital at noon to
day, making the twenty-second
death. Her identification is not posi
tive and there is reason to believe
she is Mrs. Flora Dougherty, wife of
Patrick Dougherty, of New York,
who was killed.
SMALL FIRE AT CAMP "V"
The heating system in the Y. M. C.
A. building at the Aviation Depot at

last evening when fire broke out in
the boiler room of the hut. The
flames were extinguished by soldiers
at the depot and only slight dam

ency in fighting the blaze.

xWONDAY EVENING, HJCHHISBURG TELEGRAPH JANUARY 13, 1919.
BOYS CONFESS
TO THE THEFT OF
19 AUTOMOBILES
Used Machines to Ride Be
tween This City and ,
Lebanon
The four boys arrested Saturday
night on the charge of conducting
automobile robberies on a wholesale
scale during the past few months,
were arraigned before Mayor Keis
ter to-day, and held for juvenile
court. The boys, three of whom are
15 years old, while the fourth is 16,
confessed to stealing twenty-one
automobiles to go "joy-riding," to
Lebanon.
They are Arthur Blough, aged 15,
1830 State street; Clyde Kaufman,
aged 16, 1919 Briggs street; Marlin
Longenecker, aged 15, 1844 State
street, and Erb Runkle, aged 15,
1924 State street.
The Blough and Kaufman boys
were arrested at Lebanon Saturday
night, where they went in two auto
mobiles stolen from this city, and
were brought back to Harrisburg by
Detective Shuler. At police head
quarters they implicated Longeneck
er and Runkle, who were placed un
der arrest and ordered to appear for
a hearing to-day.
The motor cars stolen Saturday
night were those of Frank B. Mus
ser, 222 South Thirteenth street, and
M. L. Mumma, 1730 Market street.
The boys confessed they have been
making a regular practise of steal
ing automobiles and after spending
the evening "joy-riding," abandon
ing them on the road near Harris
burg. The motor cars of Bernard
Schmidt, John C. Orr and William
C. Alexander, were among those
stolen. It is estimated the boys' ac
tivities cost the automobile owners
and police in all $l,OOO before they
were rounded up.
WORLD PEACE BOARD
GETS DOWN TO WORK
[Continued from First Page.]
after came Robert Lansing, the
American Secretary of State, accom
panied by his military aids, who was
followed by Mr. Frazer, counselor of
the American embassy, now attached
to the person of Colonal House.
At 2.45 p. m.. President Wilson's
limousine arrived.
The President was accompanied by
Mrs. Wilson and was greeted with
cries of "Vive Wilson!" With the
President and his wife was Admiral
Grayson, the President's physician.
As he alighted, President Wilson
lifted his hat to Mrs. Wilson, who
drove away with Admiral Grayson.
The President wore a dark suit and
overcoat and a silk hat, and carried
a large leather portfolio.
As Mr. Wilson entered the vesti
bule of the foreign office Stephen
Pichon, the French Foreign Minis
ter, greeted him and escorted him
into his private office, where the con
ference was held.
Clcmcnceau in Serious Mood
M. Clemenceau, the French Prime
Minister, followed. He was alone and
bore a serious meln. Signor Orlando,
Italian Premier, came soon after
ward, accompanied by Signor Son
nino, his foreign minister.
The last to arrive were David
Lloyd George, British Prime Min
ister, and Arthur J. Balfour, British
Foreign Secretary, who motored up
together. Military aids followed the
British Commissioners, carrying a
large dispatch case.
Others who arrived were M.
Leygues, French Minister of Ma
rine; M. Clementel, Minister of Com
merce, and M. Loucheur, Minister
of Industrial Reconstruction.
The conference opened at 3 o'clock.
The meeting was mainly for the
purpose of settling new terms for
prolonging the armistice, which ex
pires January 17, and for determin
ing the number and composition of
the delegations of the various coun
tries for the sessions of the peace
congress which is about to open.
As a result of the council it is ex-,
pected that formal notices will bo
Issued convoking the conference, as
signing delegations for each country
and fixing of the hours of meeting.
Yesterday's council ushered In the
long awaited meeting of the peace
delegates.
The Wilsons Go to Church
President Wilson, Mrs. Wilson and
Miss Margaret Wilson yesterday at
tended services in Holy Trinity Epis
copal Church in the Avenue George
V. The Rev. Charles H. Brent, for
mer bishop of the Philippine Islands,
officiated. A large crowd outside the
church cheered President Wilson as
he was leaving the edifice.
President Wilson went to the head
quarters of the American mission at
5 o'clock on Saturday afternoon and
remained in conference with the
American peace delegates for nearly
two hours.
President Wilson also had a con
ference on Saturday with H. P. Da
vison, of the American Red Cross, to
discuss a plan for the internationali
zation of the Red Cross. Numerous
questions relating to the proposal to
put the organization under one head
for reasons of efficiency were dis
cussed.
Premier Orlando, of Italy, left for
Rome yesterday. He will return
Thursday or Friday.
Ready to Help Poland
America has informed the allied
governments, according to the
Temps, that it is ready to send an
American expeditionary corps to
Poland. This force, the newspaper
states would be able to "at least
double the support given by two Po
lish divisions to be sent from the
western'front and enable the Poles
to victoriously resist the Bolshe
vists."
The newspaper says it is "indis
pensable that the two Polish divisions
now in France should be sent to Po
land and be supported by a certain
number of allied detachments which
would be able to occupy the railroad
from Danzig to Thorn, thus main
taining communications with the
west."
To Link Africa and Arabia
In outlining some of the chief ter
ritorial problems before the peace
conference the Matin says that Great
Britain, in addition to her colonial
claims, will seek to link up her
African colonies with India by a pro
tectorate over consenting Arab
states.
After the principle of the League
of Nations lias been discussed, ac
cording to the Echo de Paris, the
future internationalization of the
Rhine will be taken up.
Wilson Selects Experts
President Wilson has selected five
men connected with the American
mission recognized experts in inter
national law, to draw up a tentative
plan for a league of nations wlijch
he could compare with his own ideas.
Out of the whole, it was hoped to
frame some concrete proposition rep
resenting the best ideas of the
American delegation. These men
have not finished their work.
Bryan Plan Figures in Peace
When the present peace congress
gets under way, it probably will be
found that much of the structure of
the second Hague conference will
be utilized, and that with this will
be coupled the plan of William J.
Bryan calling for a year's investiga
tion of disputes before a declaration
of war. This latter feature is one of
the definite things that Mr. Wilson
is understood to have in mind. Amer
ican international lawyers are con
vinced that the great battle of wits
will come in the discussion of what
ever machinery is proposed to lessen
the probability of war. Not all of
them believe the result of this peace
congress will make war impossible,
but they are sanguine that it will
make armed conflicts more difficult.
It is still unsettled what nations will
be represented or how many dele
gates will be allotted to each. It has
developed, however, that China will
not be represented by Japan, but will
have her own delegation.
Efforts of the French press to
bring to the fore the question of the
status of Entente and American
troops in Russia and the advisability
of sending such troops into Poland
to check the Bolshevik advance, it is
understood, have been without suc
cess so far. The United States, it is
said, will not consent to accept in
principle or as a military policy the
task of using American forces in
Poland at all or in Russia in larger
numbers than already are employed.
Geneva, Jan. 13.—The necessity
that Germany and Austria, for their
own sakes, maintain order while the
peace conference is in session, is
emphasized by Gustave Ador, presi-
dent of the (Swiss Federation, in an
Interview ki the Neues Tagblatt, of
Vienna.
"One' very important point for the
Allies," M. Ador said, "Is that order
and tranquility reign in both Ger
many and Austria; also that the
revolution be over, as revolutionary
tendencies are grave obstacles to
negotiations. Only a stable, solid
government could exercise a favor
able influence with the Allies con
cerning the fate of Germany and
Austria."
President Ador recalled that in
1871 Germany refused to negotiate
until a regularly constituted national
French assembly met at Bordeaux.
President Wilson and his commis
sioners are working on the theory
that Great Britain, France, Italy and
the rest of the world want some new
machinery which will prevent war.
The business of the conversations
which begin to-day is to find a com
mon ground upon which all can
unite for such a purpose. Upon the
further details, the United States is
said to be unconcerned, further than
to expect that covenants shall be ful
filled and that details of the work
shall be in agreement with the prin
ciples already announced.
GERMAN REBELS
LOSENEWSPAPERS

to give us a free hand. Many sol
diers who came to Berlin to clean
out the Bolshevist's got tired of wait
ing day after day, and refused to
serve any longer."
Berlin, Jan. .13. Government
forces have captured the police
headquarters after a short bom
bardment.
The troops fired a few shells and
then waited to see what effect had
been made upon the Spartacans.
W hen the latter failed to yield, two
men were sent forward with a white
flag, demanding the surrender of the
Spartacans. They were fired upon
and killed.
Artillery fire was then resumed
and the Spartacans began trying to
flee. The soldiers thereupon storm
ed the building and took several
prisoners. No government troops
were killed in this encounter. The
Bolshevists are said to have lost
fifty killed and many wounded. The
soldiers were enraged at the shoot
ing of the white flag bearers, and
the Bolshevists are said to have
fared badly in the final clash.
London, Jan. 13.—The armistice
between the contending factions in
Berlin has been broken and fighting
has been resumed, according to Co
penhagen advices received here. The
Spartacans still hold part of the
Tageblatt building, it is said.
Reports from Berlin indicate that
the Spartacan forces have lost 1,300
killed since the outbreak of the rev
olution, and many more wounded.
Government troops numbering 13,-
000 arrived in Berlin Saturday, but
with the strengthening of its mili
tary forces, the cabinet is reported
to be using its political influence
among the masses. Twenty-eight
mass meetings were plar|ied for
yesterday at Berlin for the purpose
of offsetting this trend. These meet
ings, which were to be addressed by
ministers and party leaders, are ex
pected to lead to a renewal of the
collision with the Spartacans.
Banks Plundered
It is reported that several banks
and shops were plundered by mobs
Saturday and that great armed
crowds are continually parading the
streets.
Spartacan leaders had been able
to conclude an armistice on fairly
even terms. It was stipulated that
government troops should not be re
inforced during the truce nor resume
operations without a half day's no
tice.
The capture of the Vorwaerts
building is considered rather im
portant strategically, interfering
with the Spartacan communications
with outlying detachments. The
building was badly damaged by ar
tillery fire and was coming down
over the heads of the defenders be
fore they surrendered. •
Out of Cabinet
The arest of Geogr Dedebour, lead
er of the Independent Socialists, is
looked upon as ending his relations
with the cabinet and presumably
terminating the clandestine nego
tiations looking to a compromise of
existing difficulties by (arrangement
for the disappearance of particular
ly objectionable persons on both
sides and the postponement of the
elections for the national assembly.
There is no confirmation of the re
port that Dr. Liebknecht has been
killed. He has, however, faded from
sight with Chief of Police Eichhorn.
His disappearance may have given
rise to reports of his death or ar
rest.
Spartacan forces outside of Ber
lin have been able to a certain ex
tent to interfere with the govern
ment reinforcements. Lautsch, near
Lelpsic, they are reported to have
disarmed three train loads of troops
on their way to Berlin.
Use Field Pieces
The capture of the headquarters
was effected early Sunday morning.
In the combardment the government
In the bombardment the government
troops used 10.5 centimeter field
pieces.
The real revolutionary headquar
ters for the entire insurgent cam
paign has been in this building, and
its capture leaves the revolutionists
wtthouj any important stronghold in
Greater Berlin excepting the Siles
ian railway station and the Boetzow
brewery which tffey have strongly
fortified.
Police Chief Eichhorn was not
among the prisoners taken by the
government forces.
The troops began surrounding the
building late Saturday evening and
machine gun fire was opened against
the Spartacans shortly after mid
night. The defenders replied ener
getically and for some hours were
able to keep their machine gun fire
going by replacing the guns which
the Are of the government forces
put out of commission.
The artillery fire began at 4 o'clock
In the morning and the fire of the
defenders gradually died away and
ceased entirely after fifty-five shells
had been sent Into the building by
the soldiers. The attacking party
in the final assault worked its way
forward with hand grenades and
stormed the building from two sides.
The number of Spartacans pulled
out of hiding places by the troops
and disarmed and locked up Is plac
ed at more than three hundred.
Soldiers Omit Cheers
Some of the captured Spartacans
began cheering for Dr. Liebknecht
as they were being marched through
the streets but the soldiers shut their
mouths in summary fashion.

Rupture Kills
7,000 Annually
Seven thousand persons each year
are laid away—the burial certificate
being marked "Rupture." Why? Be
cause the unfortunate ones had neg
lected themselves or had been merely
taking care of the sign (swelling) of
the aflllction and paying no attention
to the cause. What are you doing?
Are you neglecting yourself by wear
ing a truss, appliance, or whatever
name you choose to call it?. At best,
the truss is only a makeshift —a false
prop against a collapsing wall—and
cannot be expected to act as more
than a mere mechanical support. The
binding pressure retards blood circu
lation, thus robbing the weakened
muscles of that which they need most
—nourishment.
But science has found a way, and
every truss sufferer in the land is in
vited to make a FREE test right in.
the privacy of their own home. The
PLAPAO method is unquestionably
the most scientific, logical and suc
cessful self-treatment for rupture the
world has ever known.
