The automobile stopped 50 feet from the crossing and Mr. Maloney spent 15 minutes repairing it. while his wife sat in the front seat and watched him. When he hai finishe 1 the repairs he got into the automobile and started the car down into the hol low through which the railroad tra.-ks run at this point. There is no gate at the crossing—only an electric bell, which rings when a train is approach ing. The automobile stalled directly in the path of the train. Mr. Maloney was unconscious of danger until the train was almost upon them. He frantically pulled at the levers. Mrs. Malonev stood up. screamed and attempted to jump to safety, but too late.

COST OF PARKWAY WOULD BE $50,000 CaattßDprt From First I'anr. >.mills ground and also to cross the rail road tracks." In compiling his parkway plans Mr. Manning said he considered subways |in lieu of railroad grade crossings and because of that a stibwav will be needed at Cameron street to carry the road be neath a section of tracks, running par allel with Cameron street in the direc tion of Steelton. Railroad anil Steel company officials agree that Mr. Manning's plan to run the parkway beneath the railroad eul , verts is not an unwise one. It was au thoritatively estimated to-day, how ever. that to build this connecting I stretch of parkway will mean an ex pense of upward of $40,000 or $50,- 000. The subway question, of course. ,is an expensive proposition and Mr. (Manning said a price of SIO,OOO an acre ha* been put on the land in the j desired section. Ground Held at MIO.OOO an Acre "That is the difficult question," I said Mr. Manning. "To get that land j and build the subway. I did not make l a special effort to have the owners of j the ground put a price on the ground, ' but while I was on the ground I did obtain some information that led me to i believe SIO,OOO an acre would be asked." Mr. Manning terminated his Harris burg visit this afternoon and went to Steelton where he will spend two days and take up the park and playground question with the borough authorities.

A delegation of colored citizens were present to urge: the passage of the bill. The Senate passed on second read ing the workmen's compensation bills which were sent back to committee for a hearing next Tuesday. The full ere\V repealer passed second reading without opposition, its oppo nents not desiring to start a fight on it because of the few Senators present. An attempt was male by Mr. Buck man to have sent back to the Appro priations Committee the bill to consoli-1 date the Western and Eastern Peni-! tentiaries, but Mr. Thompson protest-j ed so vigorously that Mr. Buckman ' withdrew his motion and the bill passed first reading.

THE HOUSES CONCUR ON CENSORSHIP AMENDMENTS The Daix motion picture censorship bill will go to the Governor for ap proval with a further amendment, the report of the Joint Conference t'ommit tee submitted to both branches of the Geueral Assembly to-day showing an additional amendment to the one which was inserted in the bill iu the House by Mr, Maurer. of Berks, and which made the appoiutment of a Conference Committee necessary. The House amendment, to which the Senate did not immediately concur, struck out of the bill a provision which allowed the censors to throw out any film the censors might think would "prejudice tho public mind." To-day's conference report further amends the bill to strike out "incite to riot." removing also tlie power of the censors to throw out a film for thai cause. The amended bill as it goes to the Governor provides that the censors shall approve such nlms which are moral and proper and shall disapprove such as are •'sacriligeous, obscene, in decent or immoral or such as tend to corrupt rhe public morals."

TRIES TO HAVE PART OF CIRCUS BROI'OHTTO HOUSE The elephants and things in the big circus jiara le this morning did not halt the House of Representatives in its mail rush to clean up the caleudar. Al though more than a majority of the members climbed onto the window ledges to see the parade. Speaker Am bler would listen to no motion for a recess and the roll calls on bills went monotinouslv on, while the bands on the outside were blaring. While the parade was passing down Fourth street each window on that side of the was speedily filled, members attaining the dizzv heights by use of a step ladder, which was carried from one window to the other as soon as the capacity of one window ledge was exhausted. After the Highlander baud passed, a motion for a recess was made only to be ruled out of order by Speaker Ambler. When the parade had passed the members went back to their seats, but not to work immediately, for one of them brought an orange colored balloon which was made to float over the heads of the members. Mr. Barnet, of York, attempted to have some fun by introducing a reso lution that would cause the circus peo ple to display the donkey and the ele phaut on the floor of the House, the view front the windows of this spec tacle being unsatisfactory. This a!so was ruled out. SECURE FIRST ACCOUNT OF EUROPEAN WAR TO-DAY Many Copies on Sale at Star-Independ ent Office —Tells of First Six Months of Struggle Between Many Nations Today marks the opening of the Star-Independent's grand distribution of the leading account, in book form, or' the first six months of the war, a volume which covers every detail of the great European conflagration as it will be set down on the pages of authorita tive histories. It is divorced entirely from partisan ship and deals only with the cold facts, bringing out the great underlying causes of the struggle in the seeting caldron of war-mad Europe. The "Nations at War" is replete with artual photographs of the mon archs and their advisers, cities invaded, great battles with their strategies, tragedies and comedies, maps and charts marking the localities; monu ments of past victorious armies and sidelights and local color on the civilian non-eoinbatants. as well as a hundred and one other details of interest and importance. These pictures are a real istic story in themselves, recording, as they do, each event in regular order. An interesting map gives a compre hensive idea of the racial distribution in the Austra-Hungarian monarchy, the sections occupied bv the Germans. Aus triatiß. Hungarians. Magyars and other subjects of the empire, and also maps showing the Teutonic- dreams of a pan- Germanic empire, as well as the Rus sians' aspiration to domain. Splendid pictures of the Zeppelins, aeroplanes, submarines, siege guns and other devices representing the highest achievement of scientific progress in the art of military destruction, as shown in this wonderful book represent the labor and ofttimes the risk of life by the artists who procured them, and they will be accounted accurate and price less by all who secure the book. The text by Willis J. Abbot, to-day recognized as one of the highest au thorities and an author of renown, is handled in a masterly manner, as evi denced by his famous books, "Panama and the Canal," "The Story of Our Army." "The Story of Our Xavy" and other valuable works which occupy the shelves of our foremost scholars. The story is a narration of facts with never a variation front the straight line of veracity and neutrality. The Star-Independent urges its readers to take advantage of the presentation offer which is open to day, the distribution being undertaken oniv in the public interest, and the small presentation expense of 98 cents represents but a fraction of the worth of the elaborate volume. Adv.* CLEAN UP WEEK PROCEEDS Circus Parade Doesn't Interfere With Making Harrisburg More Sanitary The cireus parade was a £reat draw ing card to-day, but it did not deter the cleaniup men from going ahead ■with their work of making Harrisburg more sanitary .

Yesterday's toll of dirt and rubbish collections amounted to 208 loads. MUMS IN CHIRn HftllßS Reaches Legation in Pe kin To-day and Is Probably Presented This Afternoon JAPANESE GET OUT OF MUKDEN Barracks of the Japs at Haukow Have Been Prepared For a Long Siege— Chinese Appear Wholly Indifferent As to Situation Bjt Associated Press. Pekin. China, May 6, 5.15 P. M.— The ultimatum of Japan to China reached the Japanese legation to-day. It probably was presented to the Chi nese government this afternoon. General Flight of Japanese Mukden, via Pekin, MJV 6.—The Japanese consular orders issued May 3 resulted in a general flight of Japan ese from Mukden the following day. The value of a gold yen increased thir ty silver cents and a rich harvest was reaped by exchange brokers. All Jap anese civilians except a few bankers and railway officials now have left the city. AH classes of Chinese viewed the exodns with stolid indiffereuce not in sulting or molesting in any way per sons leaving the city. Although the natives are deeply perturbed the city remains absolutely quiet. Japanese troops occupy strategic positions in Mukden while Chinese sol diers are reported to be moving iuto position to the south of the city. Many of the residents in that district are coming north. Barracks Prepared For Siege Hankow, via Pekin, May 6.—The Japanese barracks here have been pre pared for a siege. Following the con sul's advice many Japanese have left the city, although the Chinese appear wholly indifferent. Several prominent native residents were entertained at dinner last night by some of the lead ing citizens. LATE WIIRIEWS SUMMARY Continued From l-'lmt Cage. that the Austrian: and Germans took one position il'ter another from the Russians. The German invasion of the Baltic provinces of Russia, which is regarded lightly in Petrograd, is said in Berlin to be an important movement, under the personal direction of Field Mar shal Von Hindenburg. His aim is be lieved to be the capture of Libau and Riga, which would enable him to harass Russua communications with Petro grad. In Belgium further gains have been made by the Germans. The official French statement concedes that the Germans won positions on the disputed hill No. 00 near Yypres, and that the British were able to retake only part of them. Sharp fighting is in progress elsewhere along the western front, but apparently with no decided changes. Two British vessels—a schooner ~nrf a trawler—also were sunk by shells fired by a submarine. The c»*ws were permitted to leave their ships and escaped. Reports of consistent progress on the part of the allied forces at the Darda nelles were contradicted in an official statement to-day from the Turkish War Office. It was said the troops which landed on G-allipoli peninsula were in a precarious condition, being encircled by Turkish forces and unable to advance. The statement was made that only two points on the peninsula—Seddul Bahr and Avi Burnu—were held by the al lies. Dispatches from French and British sources said further success had been won by the allies. An attack by Turks on the encampment at Krlthia resulted disastrously for them, according to these advices, the Turks having left 1,300 dead behind them after their repulse. A British correspondent asserted that the tip of the peninsula and the entire western side were under control of the allies. Rome, Vienna and Berlin advices in dicated that a crisis had come in the negotiations between Italy and Aus tria. In Rome, where it had been felt of late that war was inevitable, there has been a sudden revival of hope of a peaceful settlement owing to the fact that Austria is said to have realized the necessity of making substantial ter ritorial concessions. Vienna regarded as significant a visit of the Italian Am bassador to the Austro-Hungarian For eign Minister, although the outcome was not disclosed. A Berlin newspa per said Italy's participation in the war must be regarded as not unlikely. Claims were made in Petrograd that the victory of the Russian army of the Caucasus over the Turks announced yesterday was an important and de cisive one. A force of 30,000 Turks which attacked the Russians In the Dilman Khori region was said to have been repulsed with heavy lo.tses and compelled to retire in disorder. Still another neutral steamer has been sunk in the North sea, although whether by a mine or torpedo has not been established. The Danish vessel Cathay, from Denmark for China, was blown up, but her passengers and crew, numbering forty-three, escaped. A PORTABLE WARDKOBE Harry A. Roat, Jr., of This City, Is Inventor of Ingenious Device A portable wardrobe has been patent ed by IHarrv A. Boat, Jr., of this city, especially designed for travelers and providing, when in place, protection for various garments. The application was filed at tie patent office July 16, 1914, anil the patent granted April 27, last. The deriee is an ingenious one; keep ing garments from dust and preventing thetn from being < reased. A 'hat rack and coat hangers are included in the wardro>be, which can be set up easily, according to given directions. The witnesses to the patent are 6yl vanus W. Zerby and Charles IP. Taylor. SAYS DECISIVE POINT IS REACHED IN NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN VIENNA AND ROME Berlin, Via London, May 6. —A pes simistic view of the Italian situation is taken by the semi-official "Lokal An zeiger" in its evening edition it re ports that negotiations hetwesn Vienna and Rome have reached a decisive point and continues: "The seriousness of the situation is ÜB'ieniahle and we shall do well, de spite thv fact that the possibility of an understanding is not yet excluded, to reckon on the arrival of momentous new* from Home. The king and his ministers it is true remained at the capital to-day so that IVAnnuszio was the undisputed hero of the day at Ge noa but they did that only in order to devote their undivided attention to the last stage of the negotiations. It still is possible that new pro posals have been sent from Vienna in ihe past few days and crossed 011 the way the statement of the Italian gov ernment to Vienna. This may lead to further conversations but even these, in the present situation, would demand speedy treatment so one needs to arm himself with patience for only a few days more. We can await in calmness Italy's decision."' DESCRIBES FIGHT IN WHICH ALLIED FORCES SUCCEEDED IN LANDINC IN CALLIPOLI liondon. Mar 6. —The Dardanelles correspondent of the "Chronicle" has sent the following under date of 4i ,r 'l •'During the early fighting the Turk ish positions ran from the crest above Maides to the crest above Bogbali. Ttie allies' t'orees were aloug the shore at the mouth of the valley and occupying' the Zasmnk valley. "The allies then extended their positions along the northern ridge, whereupon the Turks' position on the southern ridge became extremely dan gerous because it was commanded by the fire bothi from warships and landing forces. On April 28, the point of in terest was the southern tip of the pen iusula where forces were landed in -\lorto Hay and North of Gaba. During the forenoon these troops occupied the district extending a distance of about a mile and a half from the point of the peninsula. "At Midday allied batteries began a general advance. The Turks replied from positions a mile from Krithia which the guns of the fleet had set atir* earlier in the day. Just north of this village is Achibaba peak, seven hundred feet high, which dominates the region and is the chief obstacle to the allied advance. The Turks retreated gradually in that direction from (heir positions in the southern part of the peninsula. These movements were easily followed from the sea especially by clouds of dust thrown up by moving batteries, and later the artillery duel was plainly observed. "Before evening the allies had stretched their line across the penin sula. showing an advance of another mile and a half, while the Turkish forces had retreated to the outskirts of blazing Krithia. By nightfall the town was virtually in the hands of the allies and the fleeting was shelling Achibaba preparatory to an attack upon the positions there. The same afternoon there was activity also in the northern position below Gaba Tepeh. Evidently good progress was made in throwing the force across the peninsula there with the object of commanding the narrows from the heights above. At this time a firm footing has been gained by the landing forces which as sures the allies control of the tip of the peninsula and the entire western side.'' FEDERAL PROBE IN SHOP STRIKE HERE Continued Front First I'HRf. men: 'Strike and we'll go with you.' But the trainmen didn't strike with them. If every a man was guilty of high treason against hits fellows, it is W. G. bee. He is the cause of suicides, great loss of property and the break ing np of homes.'' Lee to Have Chance to Reply Commissioner Aishton urged that I<ee have an opportunity to answer the charge if he decided. Chairman Walsh saiil the testimony would be sent to Mr. Lee. 8. C. Long, general manager of the Pennsylvania, reiterated statements on the Pennsylvania's labor policy to ward laibor made yesterday by Vice President Atterburv. Long's Statement About Strike iMr. Long gave a detailed history of labor troubles covering many years. Six hundred trainmen who struck in 1914 never were taken back to work. The railroad brotherhoods, he said, did not authorize the strike. On the s'hofOTen's strike, led bv Pierce, he submitted a detailed report concluding with this statement: "Prom an observation of the occur rence* in connection with this entire trouble, it is evident they arose from the persona] ambition of W. IH. Pierce dent of that offered his would be the head rather than from any actual differences between the company a«d its employes.'' Pierce As an Organizer Concerning Pierce, the Pennsylva nia Company also submitted through Long, a statement saving fierce, for merly connected with'the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Knginemen as a national organizer, after unsuc cessful efforts to 'be elected vice presi dent of that oTganiaztion, offered his services to the railroad to handle legis lative matters. "Failing to secure this position," it said, " he immediately started to organ ise all classes of employes under an or ganization called the ' BroPherhoi&d of ftailwav Employes. His efforts, while directed particularly against the Penn sylvania, were not confined exelusivelv to the employes of that company but extended to other companies." Summer Rival "Jitneys" To care for the enormous crowd* that went to the circus to-d'ay the Har rieburg Railways Company ran an ad ditional number of the car's to the show grounds, the most of them being sum mer cars which appeared for the first time this season.

At that time it was a respect able place, tenanted 'by steel workers,', but when Ihe mills were moved the-, place 'became inhabited by foreigners' and ucgroes and drunken brawls took the place of respectability. The row was recently purchased by Jonas Reiat, a real estate dealer, who,? on Monday, started razing the build ings.
