German Warships Becoming Active
London, Nov. 13, 7.45 A. M. —A dis
patch from Copenhagen to the "Times"
eays: "Military experts here attach
importance to the news that great and
unusual activity prevails among the
German warships and auxiliaries in Kiel
canal.'*
'LATE WAR NEWS SUMMARY
Conflicting reports came to-day from
the opposing sides on the main Euro
pean battlefields. From the German mili
tary headquarters came official an
nouncement of important successes. The
French War Office said that the battle
in Belgium was becoming less violent,
and that the German advance had made
no further progress.
The Berlin official statement refajs
to heavy fighting on the Belgian sea
coast near Nieuport. where, it is said.
German marines have inflicted heavy
losses on the enemy. At Ypres, to the
south near the French border, claim is
made to another German victory with
the capture of prisoners! Severe
French attacks at other points along
the battle line are reported.
Nothing of this character is hinted
at in the statement of the French War
Office, in which it is said that the Ger
man attacks near Ypres and elsewhere
have been repulsed, and that the allies
have advanced in a few localities.
What the war is costing in human
life, as well as in men wounded or held
prisoners, can only be surmised. Occa
sionally. however, bits of autheutic in
formation are obtainable from which
may be gathered a vague idea of what
it all means. Premier Asquith, for ex
ample, said to-day in the House of Com
mons that the British casualties up to
October it I were approximately 57.-
IHH>. Lord Kitchener stated recently
that England had sent men to
the front. In other words one English
man out of every six engaged in the
war. roughly speaking, is dead, or has
been wounded or taken prisoner. The
loss of life among the British nobility
has been heavy.
The death of Lord Charles Gordon
Lennox was announced to-day. In Ber
lin the obituaries of four university pro
fessors have iust been printed. Vienna
reports that NO.OOO prisoners of war
are now held in the Austrian concen
tration canips.
Particular interest was attached to
to-day's French announcement for the
reason that the battle in Belgium was
considered by both sides as probably
marking a definite turn in the general
course of the war.
The French statement asserted that
several attempts of Germans to cross
the Yser canal, around which has oc
curred some of the most deadly strug
gles of the war, were checked. These
attempted advances were made at the
western outlet from Dixmude, which
the Germans wrested from the allies a
few days ago, and the way along which
the Germans sought to push their forces

scope, put on full speed and charged

face. marking the spot where the sub

HI ES SUICIDE 8!
LEAP IN HOSPITAL
Patient, About to Be
Sent to Asylum,
Jumps Down Stairs
in Local Institution
HE IS PICKED
UP UNCONSCIOUS
Surgeons Beliave His Back Is Broken
—Commission That Met Yester
day Found That He Was Mentally
Unbalanced
Believing that he was incurably ill,
Harry A. Brown, 34 years old, of Ly
kens a patient at the Harrisburg hos
pital. who was to have been committed
to-day to the Pennsylvania Hospital
for the Insaue, attempted to end his
lite by jumping from the second to the
first floor loh n the rear stops in the
hospital buiMiug at 11.45 o'clock this
morning. He fell uior« than twenty
hve feet, striking a baustrade, which
broke his fall and threw the body to
the tirst tloor instead of the basement.
Much excitement attended his attempt
to commit suicide.
Staff physicians believed his back
was broken and little hope was enter
tained for his recovery. He, however,
later seemed to be aole to use his arms
and it is possible that he suffered onlv
a severe sprain.
Brown was admitted to the hospital
October 31 as a uervous patient and,
although suftering from hallucinations
at times, he \\a.s Harmless ami was per
mitted to be up around in his ward,
which is in the second floor of the
building. The rear stairway seemed to
attract him and a watch was kept bv
hospital attendants.
Brown, this morning seemed to be
seized suddenly with the desire to cud
his life. He tnade au unexpected dash
from the ward, ran across the hallway,
chiubed to the banisters and dropped
off. He fell outward striking a ballus
trade. naif way between the tirst and
second iloors which cheeked the fall
and turned his body so that he landed
on the tirst door. Otherwise he would
have tail en into fix hasAneni, a floor
below.
Other patients saw his dash for the
stairway and yelled for him to atop
but he did not heel their cries. In au
instant hospital attaches had him in
the dispensary for treatment. It seemed
that he struck his back in falliug.
A special committee to inquiry into
Brown s inem-ai condition was ap
pointed by the Dauphin countv court
on Wednesday and he was examined
yesterday, resulting in an order being
ma le directing that he be sent to the
Lunatic Hospital for treatment.
The unfortunate nun's wife before
her marriage was Miss Zella Hensel,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. A. Hen
sel. of Lykens, the former a clothing
merchant.
Brown's failing mental condition
nay noticed tirst in September last.
For some years he had been a clerk in
the Hensel store. Recently he several
times intimated to his family that he
intended committing suicide. At the
inquiry yesterday Brown said that
when a bov he fell upon his head and
was painfully injured. His father, he
said, died at the age of fifty. The fath
er. too. had suffered from mental trou
ble.

OYSTER PROPERTY WAS NOT
BOUGHT FOR VALLEY R'YSCO.
Aldinger Says He Alone Is Owner of
the Parcel at Walnut and Raver
Streets—Willing, However, to Sell
If Street Car Company Wants It
Real estate men to-day were talking
about the deal in which F. H. Aldinger,
proprietor of the Fla.'.a hotel, took over
the Oyster property at Walnut and
River streets, and discussing whether
the Valley Railways Company is inter
ested in the transaction with the idea
of making the Oyster property the
terminus of its 'cross ri \\ trolley lines.
Mr. Aldinger was asked iiis morning
if suoh a plan is back of his taking
over the property in exchange for eight
other properties. He said:
"I went into the deal alono and took
over tho property merely as an invest
ment. 1 have no plans for the future
in regard to it except that the present
leases have a year and a half to mil
and I will allow them to empire. I un
derstand the present plan of the Valley
Railways Company is to use Market
street. However, if their plans are
changed and they find that my building
is a logical terminus I will be willing
to sell. No person has talked to me on
the subject."
The Valley Railways Company has
under consideration a plan to use Mar
ket street, from to Front streets,
for an extension of its tracks, and iu
this connection there has been a report
that the company sought to obtain the
Hoard of Trade building. There has
been some opposition raised, however,
to the city granting trackage privileges
to the company on Market street-, be
tween Front and -Second, and in case
of the city refusing to grant such priv
ilege the Valley railways would likely
seek a terminus elsewhere, possibly the
site of the building Mr. Aldinger na*
just acquired.
Thus far the movement to extern! the
tracks of the Valley Railways Company
it|> Market street, from the square to
Front street, has gotteu no further than
the approval by the Public Service Com
mission of the company's applieatiou
for the extension of it<i charter in order
to build the proposed line. In order
to build the extension the company must
pet the authority from the City Com
mission, and when that is done the ex
tension will have to bt a . proved by the
Public Service Commission before the
work can begin. This would give the
objectors to the extension two more
opportunities to be heard—first, before
the City Commission, and second be
fore the Public Service Commission.
PEACE IN BASEBALL CIRCLES
The "Negotiations Between Organized
and Outlaw Officials Have Not Yet
Been Completed
Cincinnati, 0., Nov. 13.—-'The ne
gotiations for [x'ace between organized
base >all and the Federal League have
progressed satisfactorily, but are by no
means completocl," said Chairman Au
gust Herrmann, of the National Baseball
i onunission, on his arrival here to-day
from Omaha and Chicago. "(Ma-. Charles
Weeghman will come to Cincinnati next
week to consult with Mr. Charles P.
Taft over the prospective pur.-huso of
the Chicago National League club. I
believe the question of the sale of the
Chicago Nationals to Mr. Weeghuian
will be settled one way or tihe other at
this meeting and I have high hopes that
following this peace in baseball will
come. This latter, however, is by no
means certain but we are hoping for
great things and they seem probable.
"The minor leagues showed loyalty
an 1 gameness in their meeting at
Omaha. They will have to look out
keenly for their iuterests and for the
cash ledger next season even with all
the help we can give them for they
are. many of them, in bad condition. I
didn't really know how badly off some
of the little fellows were till I had the
chance to talk and figure out the losses
with them. They are good, plucky
sports: they should be assisted and en
couraged in every possible way and
with peace in baseball they'll have a
good chance to win out next season.''

'burg Railway* Compauv tho right ofj
way to maJke changes in the route of
its trolley line i.i Middletown was
passed t>y the borough Councilmen last
evening and has been approved by
Thomas Jordan, the Burgess. This was
the last move necessary on the part of I
the borough officials to permit the Xlid
dletowu tar Company to enlarge its
plant, and work toward that end will
be started at once.
Several mon.hs ago the borough va
cated a section of Wood and Water
streets and changed the course of Wood
street to perrnii. the car manufacturing
company to g\> on with the extension of
its plaut.
The route of the trolley line, under
the ordinance passed last night, will
be changed so as to continue out Main
street to Catherine and go down Cath
erine to Water In completing the loop
the line will be extended up Catherine
street from Emails
The Middletowu Oouncilmeu now are
eager not only to have the trolley line
extended through and around that
borough, but also to have it cross the
Swatara creek and run into Roy at ton,
an adjoining borough. A special com
mittee of Couucilmen was appointed
last evening to gather data with re
spect to the construction cost, the rigut
of way over bridges and through
streets and also as to the possible in
crease in traffic.
This will be submitted to the rail
ways company some time during the
winter and it has been suggested by
the Middletowu officials that if the
railways company will not consider the
proposition Middletowu capitalists will
be urged to finance it.
