Ambassador Page Says Note Was Sent
From Capital of Italy Over Italian
Telegraph Lines—Officials Seek to
Hasten Its Delivery
By
Washington, May 15. —A cablegram
from Ambassador Gerard in Berlin, sent
at 7 o'clock last night and reaching
the state Department early to-day, stat
ed that the Ambassador had not then
received the American note. State De
partment officials expected further ad
vices soon.
Meanwhile officials sought to trace
the note and hasten its delivery. Hav
ing knowledge from Ambassador Page
at Rome that the note wa-s relayed from
their yesterday afternoon on the Italian
telegraph lines, officials felt assured
that it surely would reach Ambassador
Gerard to-day.
Bryan's Messagos to Gerard
Secretary Bryau sent two messages
to Ambassador Gerard after the note
itself left the telegraph offices here—
on** notifying him that it had been
sent, and another advising him that it
had been arranged to release it for
publication for 5 a. m. Friday and
therefore to present it to the German
Foreign Office as early as Am
bassador Gerard acknowledged both.
Interest continued to-day in official
Washington and diplomatic circles as to
the probable nature of Germany's re
ply but neither th e embassy or the
.State Department had any intimation
as to the feeling in Berlin. Among
well informated diplomats as well as
officials the belief existed that (ser
manv °s reply would afford a means of
settlement through diplomacy.
Gossip About Germany's Action
It was thought not improbable that
Germany would suspend submarine, war
fare while the diplomatic discussion
was in progress and it might suggest
that if the British government notified
all its merchantmen the right of visit
and search would then be exercised to
prevent contraband from reaching its
destination.
Another suggestion which was re
garded as not unlikely to be made by
Germany was that the belligerents give
assurances that no contraband be car
ried on passenger ships. Although the
United States has asserted the right of
neutrals to travel anywhere on the high
seas, even on ships carrying contra
band, insisting that the light of visit
and search be exercised iu accordance
with previous rules of international
law, the possibility of a discussion of
the legal points involved so as to fur
nish a common ground for an under
standing was admitted in official quar
ters as a 1 likely development.
WOULD ARBITRATE SINKING
OF LOSITiIAJS REPORT
London. May 15, 3.22 P. M.—The
Exchange Telegrajdi Company has re
ceived the following message from Am-,
sterdain:
'"A telegram from Berlin states that
the "Vossisehe Zeitung" announces
that high government circles in Ger
many favor the submission of the ques
tion of the Lusitania sinking and the
difficulties with America arising there
from to a court of arbitration.''
Washington, May 15.—The sugges
tion of arbitration contained in a dis
patch to Ixuidon from Berlin by way of
Amsterdam was received among offi
cials here with the informal comment
that such a course was rfmong the con
siderations which had occurred in
Washington, but it was pointed out
that it probably would not be satisfac
tory unless assurances were given in
the meantime and the submarine war
fare on merchant ships was suspended.
Officials pointed out that unless' that
were done more lives might be lost
while an arbitration was in progress.
American Woman's Body Identified

Governor To-day Signs the Bill Making
That Appropriation
Iu legislative days gone by it was
the practice to includ* in the general
appropriation bill that passed the Leg
islature an item appropriating money
to the various companies of the Har
risburg Fire Department, but somebody
discovered that this item was not prop
erly a part of such a bill, and that a
separate bill ought to be introduced.
In accordance with that idea Repre
sentative Wildman, of Harrisburg, on
March 23. introduced a bill in the
House making such an appropriation,
and to-day Governor Brumbaugh ap
proved a bill to givp the 14 fire com

Alleged Unofficial
Spokesman of Raiser
to Leave Country of
His Own Initiative
HIS SPEECHES
DISTASTEFUL
President Wilson and the Cabinet Were
Displeased With German's Remarks
in Which He Said Sinking of Lusi
tania Was Justifiable
By Associated Press,
Washington. May 15.—Dr . Bern
hard Dernburg, often referred to as the
unofficial spokesman of Emperor Wil
liam in the United States, has made
plans to leave the country of his own
initiative within a short time.
• It became known in official quarters
here to-day that in view of the intima
tions that President Wilson and the
Cabinet were displeased with Dr. Dern
'burg's speeches justifying the sinking
of the Lusitania and some of his other
public utterances, which they believed
might be calculated to array sentiment
of Germans in the United States against
the Washington government, friends of
Dr. Dernburg here have persuaded him
to leave the United States.
Just when Dr. Dernburg would leave
or where he would go was not made
known, but it was believed he would
sail for Cuba or South America.
Dr. Dernburg's activity in the Unit
ed States since the beginning of tfie
war, has been closely observed by the
President and other high officials here,
who came to believe in the last week
that a continuation of his speeches and
statements might, in the event of a
critical turn in relations with Germany,
menace the democratic welfare of
America.
It has been repeatedly denied by the
(German embassy as well as by Dr. Dern
burg himself that he was a spokesman
for the German government or that he
had any official status. In view, how
ever. of the fact that Dr. Dernburg was
formerly Colonial Secretary ,in the Ger
man Foreign Office and has become
prominently active in belialf of the Ger
man .cause idnce the outbreak of the
war, officials here believe that German-
Americans attach official weight to bis
utterances.
Dr. Dernburg himself issued a state
ment last night declaring he had never
discussed matters that had arisen diplo
! matically between the United States
and Germaav. Officials here made no
comment on that beyond pointing to
Dr. Dernburg's utterances in Cleveland
and New York recently, seeking to jus
i tify the attack on the Lusitania.
At the German embassy it was
learned that Dr. Dernburg had ex
pressed the wish himself to leave the
country. Embassy officials made it very
plain that the action was voluntary on
his part. The question of his depar
ture depends upon securing assurance
from the British and krench. through
the mediation of the State Department,
for his immunity from detention on the
high seas.
Dernburg Remains Secluded
New York, IMay 15.—©r. Bernhard
Dernburg declined to-dav to discuss the
statement from Washington that ho
would soon leave the country of his own
initiative. Remaining secluded In his
apartments here, he refused to see news
! paper representatives. In an answer
I to a note enclosing a copy of the Wash-
I ington dispatch, he returned the reply,
j'' No comments."

CITY MUST PAY FOR HOUSES
RUINED BY SEWER CAVE-IN
A Common Pleas Court Jury This Morn
ing Awarded C. J. Mahoney $4,-
557.78 for Damages to His Two
Naudain Street Properties
After a trial lasting ail of this week
a Common Pleas Court jury this morn
ing rendered its verdict, holding that
the damages and losses sustained by
C. J. Mahoney when his two Naudain
street properties were precipitated into
the Fifteenth street sewer, amounted
to $4,557.79, and t'hat the City of
Harrisburg is liable to Mahoney for
the full amount.
A question of law raised by the at
torneys in the cas® was reserve*!! by
the court for future argument an*!' upon
this hinges the final outcome of the
case. Should the court decide in favor
of Mahoney, the plaintiff, the case will
not be appealed by the city and the
property owner will be paid the full
amount of the award.
In the case of Riley Bogner, the
Dauphin man who brought suit against
Ihe Northern Central Railroad Company
for damages as a result of injuries
sustained when he fell into subway at
Dauphin, the jury found in favor of
Bogner in the eum of $2,541. The
Railroad Company proposes to ask for
judgment and a new trial, it'is said.
The jury in the damage suit of John
Thompson against John G. Wall evi
dently were guided by their knowledge
of criminal court procedure for they
returned a verdict of "not guilty."
"You mean you find in favor of the
defendant!'' asked Judge iMcCarrell.
"Yes, sir," said the foreman of the
jury.
Thompson lost an eye through in
juries sustained when a bottle which
he was filling with beer at the Wall
bottling works burst ami! showered him
with fragments of glass. The question
of liability in this case hinged on
whether Wall actually has provided
proper safety devices for the bottling
machine.

Higher Tribunal Decides There Must Be

Applications Must Be Granted
(Special to the Star-Independent.)
New Bloomfield, Pa., May 15. —The
whole of Perry county has been "dry"
for a month and a half, but ten of the
sixteen liquor establishments, whose li
cense applications were not granted at
tho annual license court on March 12,
last, because the court was hopelessly
divided, will reopen for business next
week, probably on Monday.
In these ten cases the State Superior
Court, to which appeals had been ta
ken, decided that, contrary to the de
cision of Judge W. N. Seibert, of Per
ry county, the applicants' papers were
in proper form and according to law.
Tho Superior Court sent the cases' back
to the county court for rehearing. Judge
Seibert had decided, that the applica

reason he would not agree to grant the
applications. His associate, Judge S.
W. Bernheispl, a "lay" judge, said he
was disposed to grant the licenses.
Judge Seibert said this morning that
if the official reports bear out the news

ITALY DENOUNCED TRIPLE
ALLIANCE WEEKACO. REPORT
London, May 15, 11.45 A. M.—Aft
er having been deluded by a series of
chimerical crises, the Rritish public is
coming to the belief that Italy finally
has reached the point of a momentous
decision in the matter of her relations
to the Triple Alliance.
Early to-day London was informed
unofficially that Italy a week ago had
denounced this alliance. When this
step failed to produce further conces
sions from Austria, there occurred the
resignation of the Italian Cabinet.
London is now awaiting breathlessly
news from Home of the final break.
DENIES REPORT THAT ITALY
DENOUNCED TRIPLE ALLIANCE
Home, May 15, via Paris.—The
"Tribuna" in a special edition denies
the report that Italy had denounced
the Triple Alliance. It explains ■. the
king's decision to entrust to Giuseppe
Marcora the formation of a cabinet,
instead of insisting upon the retention
of Premier Salandra, as being due to
the fact that the Salandra cabinet has
shaped its policy in the direction of
withdrawal from the Triple Alliance,
but had not taken definite action to this
end, wishing first to obtain the support
of Parliament. No pledge of any kind
had been made, the "Tribuna" asserts
and the new will thus have
complete liberty of action.
Riotous demonstrations continued in
Rome during a great part of the night.
They increased in intensity when it
became known that, notwithstanding
reports to the contrary, the king had
accepted Premier Salandra's resigna
tion.
One of the most violent outbreaks
occurred in connection with attempts
of the crowds to approach the Austrian
embassy. A member of the staff of the
Nationalist newspaper "Idea Nation
ale," succeeded in hurling his cane
through a window of the embassy,
breaking the glass. He was arrested.
At a meeting in Horghes square,
twenty speakers, niost of them depu
ties, made addresses in favor of war.
