ABMV AND NAVY AT ODDS Failure of Football Game May Have Sensational Developments New York, Oct. 13. Rear Admiral' Hugo Ousterhaus has resigned from the! United States Naval Academy Athletic | Council, and more sensational develop-1 ments are to be expected in both ! branches of the service as a result of, tli© refusal of the Annapolis authori ties to play the annual game with West Point, according to trustworthy -infor- j niation obtained in this city yesterday. ! Admiral Ousterhaus has long been a ! supporter of Annapolis athletics. At West Point a meeting of the! General Athletic Committee will be ' held. One of the matters to be dis-j cussed will be that of puolishing the j entire correspondence and reports of! the negotiations which have led to the j deadlock over the annual football en-1 counter. If West Point decides to take this step there is no doubt that! the controversy will receive a liberal! airing. TO DISCUSS STEEI/TON TAXES j County Seeks More Light on Bequest For Exonerations For Steel Co. Before the I ounty Commissioners i act finally on the application to ex- j onerate the Pennsylvania Steel Com pany from paying taxes on 50 or more Steelton houses, which have been razed in a plan to make plant additions and improvements, it is likely a conference j will be held between the county heads and J. V. W. Heynders, superintendent of the steel plant. ' The assessed valuation of the prop- j erties in question is something like j $70,000. Taxes on that amount mean material income to both the countv j and the borough of Steelton, so that exonerations from payments will mean : losses to both districts. Tlie commis sioners will, it is believed, further con sider the application at their meeting j to-morrow. TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 13, 1914—12 PAGES.

The escape from the doomed dwell ings by the sleepers, who were awaken ed from thoir slumbers by a number of foreigners shooting guns and revolvers to sjirea I the arlarm, was spectacular. By t'lie time they were thoroughly aroused it was impossible to leave tfoe house by descending the steps, so the tenants worked their way to t'he front of the building aud climbed out on the porcfa roofs, from which most of them jumped about twelve feet to the side walk, while a few slid down a pole which had been secured and restod against the por.h roof. Boys Fail in Attempt to Rescue Vigorous efforts were made by Stephen Unger 15 years old, grandson of Henry Arnt, and a boy companion. Joseph Sehram, 10 years," to save the lite of Arnt.
