    SENATE SENDS LUSITANIA
RESOLUTIDNTO THE "VAT"
Sidetracks Pip of Senator Jenkins to
Request President Wilson and Con
* gress to "Deal Firmly" With Ger
many in the Present Situation
The Senate this morning tyit itself
on record as refraining from anything
looking to a request on the President
£o take action on the Lusitania disaster.
(fi\ Monday evening a resolution was
introduced by Benator Jenkins, Phila
delphia, the President and
Congress to take immediate steps to
protect the lives of American citizens
and to deal firmly with Germany to
(prevent a repetition of the Lusitania
■>- disaster.
The resolution was referred to the
Committee on Federal Relations, which
this morning reported it favorably, and
Mr. Jenkins demanded immediate con
sideration. Before it could be consid
ered. however, Senator Vare, Philadel
phia, moved that the resolution be re
ferred to the Committee on Elections,
which was seconded by Senator Me*
jiichol, and on a viva voce vote the
biotion was agreed 'o. Thus the reso
lution goes to the "pickling vat.
The Senate passed finally the bill for
the protection of fish in the State and
for the protection of the waters.
The Hoke amendment to the school
code, requiring free education in the
public schools of children who are in
mates of orphans' institutes, passed
finally. .
The Gormley House bill fixing the
number and salaries of clerks in the
"State Treasury passed finally.
The Salus bill prohibiting the gift or
sale of air rifles to minors under 18
years passed finally.
* The House bill providing a system
of employment for penitentiary and re
fonii school prisoners passed finally.
The House bill imposing a tax ot
1-2 cents a ton on all anthracite coal
mined, which originally equally divi.l
--• e.l the money received between the
State and the'localities where the coal
is aiined, was amended on second read
in" in the Senate this morning to give
the State 55 per cent, an* the locality
4 5 per cent. The State's share is to be
deviated to State road purposes exclu
sively. „
The splitting of the tax ao-40, was
exceedingly distastefully to the an
thracite coal Senators, who alleged
that an agreement had been made by
which the tax should the divided even
ly. and they made such a racket over
what they privately called "double
dealing," that the Senate took a re
cess for half an hour during which the
differences were adjusted, and_ when
the Senate again met the 55-45 divi
sion was taken out of the bill and the
50-50 provision inserted. This will give
the coal districts of Lvkens and Wico
nisco a larger share than was expected.
The Senate passed all of the appro
priation bills on second reading and at
2 o'clock adjourned until 5 o'clock this
afternoon.
STILL HOPING TO RECOVER
BODY OF fl. C. VANDBRBILT
Queenstown, May 13. —A hazy rain
and a choppy sea interfered with the

others under a life raft. These bodies
were all placed on one tug to be brought
into (^ueenstown.

Vanderbilt, will remain at Cork so long
as there appears any hope of recover
ing Mr. Vanderbilt's body.

LOCAL ITALIANS
AWAIT THE CALL
Continued From Flrat I'aitr.
F. Salerno, a Second street tailor and
president of the Harrisburg society, as
serted to-day.
He admitted, however, that the war
situation and "several other matters
which we are not yet at liberty to dis
cuss" also will be considered. The na
tional convention of the Sons of Italy
societies will be held in Pittsburgh on
May 22. 23 and 24 this year and at
that meeting, it is expected, some action
will be taken with respoct to the threat
ened break between Austria and Italy.
Dauphin county has three Sons of
Italy societies represented in the na
tional bddy, two of which are in Steel
ton and the other in this city. The
president of the Harrisburg organiza
tion said this morning that he is not
prepared to deny the report that local
Italians already are disposing of their
real estate and preparing to go back
for war duty. Indeed, he said that
some non-property owners have an
nounced their determination to leave on
'' first call."
Letters received by local Italians
from relatives in the fatherland, they
say, tell of the organization of troops
in "all Italy." In the southern sec
tion, where uniformed soldiers are not
frequently seen, the letters tell of the
"formation of a regiment in every lit
tle town and hamlet."
Food prices are on the increase and
letters advise that it is difficult to get
money without paying high interest.
Newspapers are carrying editorials
which zealously declare Italy's ability
to defend herself and the papers pre
dict that there will be a free and gen
eral response to arms when the call is
made.
LATE WAR NEWS SOMRY
Continued From Flrat Pace.
most of the village of Neuville and that
hundreds of Germans were bayonetted
and 1,500 taken prisoners.
A dispatch from Tarnow, Galacla,
says that the battle in that region Is
nearing a conclusive phase. Terrific
fighting continues to the east of Tar
now. Along the Carpathian front the
Austrian advance is believed to have
placed the Russians in danger of be
ing surrounded.
The growth of anti-German feeling
in England since the sinking of the
Lusitania led to the announcement by
Premier Asiuith to-day of the govern
ment's decision to repatriate all aliens
over military age from countries with
which Great Britain is at war, as well
as alien women and children in certain
cases.
Unofficial reports from the Darda
nelles state that the allies have won
successes in their campaign for posses
sion of Constantinople. The Turks are
said to be losing ground steadily in the
land fighting, and the effectiveness of
their efforts is reported to have been
impaired greatly by the fire of the al
lied warships. French and British
ships entered the Dardanelles again
yesterday and bombarded forts as far
up the straits as the narrows.
The possibility of a final Austro-
German victory in Galicia as a result
of the advance from Cracow is said by
the War Office at Petrograd to have
been eliminated. The Russians, strong
ly reinforced, are now occupying ad
vantageous positions, the War Office
states, and are preparing to seek re
venge. The German victory is attrib
uted to the concentration of more than
150,000 of the finest German troops
along a short front in the neighborhood
of Krosno for the sudden blow struck
at the Russian lines.
The Union of South Africa forces
have penetrated further into German
Southwest Africa. An official state
ment from Cape Town announces the
capture of Windhoek, capital of the
German possession.
Austria is preparing to proclaim a
state of siege in its territory along ".he
Italian frontier in case of war with
Italy. The exodus of Italians from
Austria continues in great numbers and
strong Austrian forces are being
brought in continually to points near
the border. The decision of Italy, how
ever, is still to be reached, and Parlia
ment may be called upon to assume the
responsibility.
The American note to Germany, call
ing for a guarantee that attacks on
merchantmen carrying non-combatants
shall cease and that reparation shall be
made by Germany for violation of
American rights within the war zone,
is to be forwarded to Berlin to-day.
The text of the note probably will be
made public late to-day.
HALDEMAN LEFT TWO WILLS
Register So Informed in Caviat Filed
In Behalf of Late Lawyer's Sister
A caviat filed to-day with Roy C.
Danner, Register of Wills, advises the
Register against admitting for probate
"any instrurient or writing alleged to
be the last will and testament of the
late Edward M. Haldeman without first
giving notice to Mary IH. Armstrong,
as a party interested in the estate."
A bond in the sum of SI,OOO guar
anteeing the payment of any costs that
may be caused by reason of the caviat
also was filed. The estate left by the
late Edward M. Haldeman, a lawyer,
is not large, being made up principally
of an interest in an island in the Sus
quehanna river. A report that two
wills bearing recent dates are in exist
ence led to the filing of the caviat.
Persons interested in the case pointed
out this morning that the proceedings
simply is a precautionary measure and
may be withdrawn. Mrs. Mary H.
Armstrong is a surviving sister.
Burned By Sla-ked Lime
The police early this afternoon re
moved a man whose name is believed
to be Roy Benner from the Rockville
car. He had been burned by slaked

animations. The policemen appointed by
\layor Royal, at the start of his term,
and now holding office will not be dis
turbed, unless removed by the City
Commissioners before the law is signed.
The 'bill will compel both the new
sergeants, Page and Eisenberger, to
undergo examinations, according to IMr.
Walton 'a idea. Among the patrolmen
affected are Phillips, Seymour,
Tompson and lHalsey. Captain of Po
lice Joseph P. Thompson has had more
than two years' consecutive service un
der formed administrations.
Coiild Fire Met %t Once
It was pointed out to Mr. Walton
that the Ilarrisburg City Commission
could dismiss a number of men at its
next meeting it it so desired and ap
point others who would hold office at
the time this act would go into effect.
"Their appointment would be legal
and they would be exempt from exami
nation," he said, ''provided that they
had the required two years' consecutive
experience on the force at some period
beforehand. But, no matter if they had
five years' service and are not holding
office at the time the act becomes ef
fective, they must undergo an exami
nation. The act is in force as soon as
it has Governor Brumbaugh's ap
proval. "
The Governor has thirty days from
the time in which the bill goes into his
hands to sign or veto it.
The provision in the bill which ex
empted fire departments from its pro
visions was found to be unconstitution
al, but the bill was amended so as to
relate only to salaried officers in the
police, engineering, electrical or fire
departments.
In so far as the bill relates to Har
risburg firemen. Mr. Wildman, member
of the House from IHarrisburg, con
strues this to mean only the chief and
assistant fire chiefs. Other paid men
in the department, such as drivers, arc
elected by their companies and paid
by the companies out of the appropria
tion made by the City Commissioners.
Fire Chief Kindler was appointed by
Mayor Royal at the start of the May
or's term and Assistant Chief Halbert
had two years' consecutive experience
under another administration, and, un
der the construction put on the act by
Mr. Walton, neither would be subject
to examination.
Civil Service Board of Three
The bill provides for the appoint
ment of a civil service hoard by the
City Commissioners. This shall serve
for four years and consist of three citi
zens, one to be an educator and one a
physician, who shall serve without com
pensation. They, however, may hire
a secretary. The terms of the first
civil service commissioners will be two,
three and four years, the City Commis
sioners to elect a commissioner for four
vears at the expiration of the terms.
The board is given power to adopt its
own rules.
An appointment to any of the depart
ments which come under the act will be
sent to the City Commission by the su
perintendent of the department con
cerned, who shall select the name from
one of three certified to him by the
civil service board. An employe may
be suspended by the superintendent un
der whom he is employed, but he cannot
ho dismissed unless charges are sus
tained in open hearing berore the City
Commission.
There was harder work done for the
passage of this act through the Legis
lature, perhaps, than for almost any
other piece of legislation this session.
Tremendous pressure was brought to
bear on those who had the bill in
charge in the Senate. A lobby of the
members of the House who we're inter
ested in the bill was maintained in the
Senate until yesterday, when the meas
ure was finally passed and sent to Gov
ernor Brumbaugh.
PUSSES BILL EXTENDING
TERMS OFCOMIISSIONERS
The Walton bill amending the Clark
third class city act of 1913 to correct
alleged defects found in it during the
two years trial of the bill, was passed
in the House this morning by a vote
of 1412 'to 3. The bill was drapted by
the League of Third Class City Solici
tors and in the main is the same as was
introduced early in the session by Sen
ator Clark, of Erie. The Senate bill
was amended so as to destroy its orig
inal purpose and it was defeated at
Senator Clark's request.
The principal change proposed in
the Walton bill is the increase of the
term of commissioners from 2 to 4
years. It provides that at the election
this November, two commissioners be
elected for two years and two for four
years and thereafter two elected every
two years. The term of the Mayor is
left at four years and the nrfn-partisau
feature of the Clark act is not touched.
The Ramsey bill providing for a
board of examiners to examine and li
cense operators of steam boilers and
stationary engines in third class cities
was defeated by a vote of 80 yeas
and 39 noes.
Among the bills passed finally were:
Providing for the pay and mileage
of coroners for viewing a dead 'body
where no inquest is hejd
Senate bill fixing the width of side
walks along public highways.
Senate bill providing for the retire
ment of State employes physically in
capcitated after twenty years of em
ployment.
Senate bill validating annexations
or extensions of limits of boroughs
made prior to April 22, 1903.
Senate bill providing for the pay
ment by horoughs of damages incurred
in the widening of streets.
The Wilson bill imposing a two-cent
tax on deliveries or transfers of stock
certificates was postponed as was the
Senate bill making railroads liable for
damages for fires occurring from sparks
from locomotives.
Seventy-five bills were passed on
first reading and forty-two on second
reading. The House at noon took a re
cess until 5 o'clock this evening.
A Herculean Task
A youth who bore thi earmarks of a
college boy stood forlornly on a corner
smoking furiously a new white pipe.
Every fifteen minutes or so he knock

puffing.

TO ENFORCE NEW FISH LAW
Department Orders Wardens to Arrest
Foreigners Taking Fish
The Department of Fisheries to-day
issued orders to all its regular salaried
wardens throughout the Stato to en
force an Act of Assembly signed the
21st day of April, 1915, which pro
vides in section 1:
"That it shall be unlawful for any
unnaturalized foreign-born resident to
go fishing, for, or capture or kill, in
this Commonwealth, any fish of any de
scription. Each and every person vio
lating any provisions of this section
shall, upon conviction thereof 'be sen
tenced to pay a penalty of S2O for
each offense, or undergo imprisonment,
in the common jail of county for the
period of one day for each dollar of
penalty imposed."
Section 2 provides: "That any
unnaturalized foreign-born person who
shall reside or live within the bound
aries of the Commonwealth of Pennsyl
vania for ten consecutive days, shall
be considered a resident, and shall be
liable to the penalties imposed for vio
lation of the provisions of this act."
The law then goes on to state that
any justice of the peace, aldernjan, or
magistrate, upon information or com
plaint made to him by affidavit of one
or more persons, charging any person
or persons with having violated the pro
visions of this act, is hereby authorized
and required to issue his warrant, and
cause such person or persons to be ar
rested, and if convicted shall be sen
tenced to pay the fine or fines in ac
cordance with section 1.
It also provides that all actions for
any violations of the provisions of this
act must be taken within one year
from the time the offense was commit
ted, and the Commissioner of Fisher
ies is authorized to employ legal coun
sel when necessary.
Any fish commissioner, fish warden,
deputy warden, sheriff, deputy sheriff,
constable, or any other special officer,
or any peace officer of this Common
wealth, is authorized and commanded
to forthwith, apprehend and arrest any
person or persons who may be guilty
of violating the provisions of this act
take them before the proper authori
ties. The Department announces it
will "enforce this law to the letter."
FIKST ALTO FIRE ENGINE HEBE
Hope Machine Arrives, Equipped With
Tractor and Painted Red
The steam fire engine of the Hope
Company, equipped with a motor tractor
and repainted in brilliant red, instead of
white as heretofore, was received here
this morning from the factory and will
be thoroughly tested to-morrow, so Fire
Chief John C. Kindler announced at
noon to-day. It is the first Harrisburg
steam fire engine to 'be "motorized."
Luther Kern, for a number of years
driver of the Hope Company's horse
drawn engine, is to be given an oppor
tunity to drive the motor engine. The
representative of the firm that has
equipped the engine with the tractor
will make the tests to-morrow and also
will teach Kern the duties of a chauf
feur. The tests likely will be made
on the Derry and Mulberry street
grades.
The tractor is supposed to be
equipped for making thirty-five miles
an hour, but the Fire Chief to-day an
nounced that the regulation speed will
be between fifteen and twenty miles an
hour.
The horses that heretofore had "been
used in the Hope's eugine will be
transferred to the Hoipe chemical and
hose wagon. The wagon horses will be
sold. The Camp Curtin Company is to
get tfhe Hope's chemical wagon and
horses as soon as a new motor comibina
tion wagon is received by the latter
company.

Thor Lange, the Danish Poet
Danish literature has just lost one
of its prominent men by the death of
the poet Thor ljange, aged sixty-four
years. Besides some notable translations
of Greek tragedies and Longfellow's
"Golden Legend,'' he excelled in Dan
ish versions of the ballads of Russia,
his country of adoption since 1876,
when he was appointed lecturer at
Moscow university. His name, says
the London Athenaeum, will long be

memorial stones or crosses on spots
where stirring events had taken place.
