IIVIL SERVICE'
Continued From First I'agc.
. 1874, whereas other cities of like popu- ;
'! lation in the state accepted that clas
sification. ljancaster is not operating!
uiiilter the Clark third class city bill of
two years ag0...1t was feared, too, that
unless ljancaster was excepted in the
j civil service bill it would be held to be
unconstitutional and it tfns recalled
I for amendments to make sure the bill
1 i would not get executive disapproval on
the ground of unconstitutionality.
Opposition in tlie House
| There is opposition to the bill in the
House and this was made manifest
I early this morning when the message
,! was received from Governor Brum
i i baugh that he had signed the resolu
' | tion of the House and Senate recalling
' | the measure for the purpose of amend
> I mcnt. Mr. Walton offered his amend
| incnts proposing cutting out cities op
| erating uni ler special charters, which
" I meant Lancaster. Mr. Spangler, of
[ York, then proposed an amendment
,! which would make the bill apply only
to cities whielMiaVe full paid fire de
partments. Krie is the only third class
: city where there is full paid tire de
partment.
' This provision had already been
| stricken front the original bill because
1 it was held not to be constitutional and
this effort again to make the bill un-
I constitutional was defeated. Mr. Wal
ton expects some opposition when the
bill comes up for action, but he be
lieves that his agreement with legisla
tive leaders will carry the bill through.
Other members of the House from
third class cities who are eager to see
, the bill pass, share Mr. Walton's op
' timistic view as to the chances of its
passage.
Bill's Effect on Harrisburg
I I A feature of.the measure is that it,
I requires present employes of the de
partments affected to have had two
t years experience at their jobs in order
to be exempt from the requirement that
b they take civil service examinations if
i they ar e to be retained. In Harris
- burg it wouM have the effect of oust
ing two poli.-e sergeants and about ten
t other policemen who have not yet hail
slt wo years experience. They * would
- j have to take their examinations with
j new applicants for positions on tile
t j force and on the same basis as the new
applicants.

don, tMav IS (Delayed in Transmission)
—That the United States should refuse
further to represent Ge'nnany in diplo
matic dealings with her adversaries be
cause of the Lusitania tragedy, is the
editorial opinion expressed by
"Outro Rossi®" of Moscow,, a daily
paper widely read by 'business men and
bankers. It is pointed out that while
hundreds of the Lusitania'/.passengers
| including many Americans, were lying
at the bottom of the Irish Sea, United
StateH diplomatic representatives were
investigating the condition of German
prisoners in Russia. The paper closes
its editorial by saying:
"Elemental sentiment, which is part
of international relations demands an
immediate refusal ily the government
of the United States further to repre-.
sent Germany before European coun
tries warring with her. Friendly serv
ices hardly are suitable for the United
States to give in face of the cry ascend
ing to iHeaven for the victims of the
Lusitania."
Wail From Germany on Note
The 'Hague, Netherlands, May 18,
Via London, 2.45 (?. M. —Berlin'news-
papers as a rule refrain from comment
upon the American note to Germany.
The "Tages Zeitung," however, dis
cusses the note in a half-column article.
It says:
"The United States makes the
brusque demand that Germany aban
don submarine war against Great Brit
ain. The United States disregards with
complete disdain the German war zone
declaration communicated to Washing
i ington on B'ebruary 4 and later, in the
j course of the exchange of notes, disap
proves as 'surprising irregularity' the
| German embassy's warning in the press
j and Hermits itself to impute to the Ger
| man government as an excuse the prob
ability that' German submarine com
j manders acted contrary to orders.
Sees British Hand in Note
| "Whoever reads this note without
prejudice can scarcely escape the im-
I pression that the British Ambassador
[ at Washington was not far away when
I:i was framed. One could equally as
II well imagine its contents to be a speech
|by Premier Asquith in the House of
I Commons."
Count Von Reventlow, the naval
| critic, declares that the German war
' zone declartion followed the British
I j declaration, against which America
' | failed to protest,
j "The present note, so far as con
i cerns torpedoed ships, makes Knglish
I conclusions and untrue statements its
Mown," he writes. "Germany knew
I what she was doing when she made her
I ] decision and had considered all possible
consequences.
U. S. Materials Prolonging War
"Germany must and will have her
nav, and leave it to the United States
to choose other ocean paths than those
through the war /.one, if American citi
zens have a desire to visit Europe in
these times and observe how American
war materials arc prolonging t)ie bloody
war."
The "Vossische Zeitung" merely re
marks incidentally that the authorized
translation of the American note shows
"the same sharp form" as the version
received from the Havas Agency.

Business Up to II O'clock Aggregated
Less Than lIMUHMI Shares—As Ses

New York, May 18.— Wall Street—■-
Heaviness was the dominant feature
of to-day's early stock market, all
branches of the list registering declines.
Numerous leaders were affected to (Tie
extent of a point or more as were also
the speculative specialties. Dealings
were again extremely moderate and
plainly of professional origin. United
States Steel, Reading and Union Pa
cific were singled out for 'bear pres
sure.
Prices made slight recovery from the
opening level 'but went lower later.
Business up to 11 o'clock aggregated
loss than 100,000 shares, or the dullest
first hour in many weeks. As tho ses
sion progressed trading 'became even
lighter with a compTPte absence of pub
lic interest. Private cables from Don
don were not altogether assuring, al
though Americans were fairly steady
at that center. Domestic news was !»
trille mixed, with unconfirmed reports
of crop damage in the southwest. Bonds
were easy.

FIND SMALL PROFIS IN ■
I RUNNINGJTNEY BUSES
Continued From First Pin.
some of the operators have quit the
business and conservative estimates
place the numbor now in operation at
between 125 and 130.
Most of the jitney operators who
consented to discuss their business said
that the daily receipts average about,
$7. Some of the more conservative
fixed $G as the average. Others said
that on especially busy days they have
collected as much as $lO.
As a rule, the chauffeurs have no
schedule and simply depend on the
placards they carry on their cars to at
tract passengers, thereby taking the
chance of making a quick, brief trip for
the fare.
The 135 jitney licenses all were lift
ed after the Jitney Transportation Com
pany was organized by local capitalists
who announced their intention to oper
ate a S-cent bus line. Officers of that
company declined to-day to announce
their plans for the future, saving the.v
now are awaiting the action of the
State Legislature on a number of pend
ing bills which have to do with the
operation of jitneys.
Several jitney owners declared to
day that their expenses are very heavy.
"We are constantly repairing the
car and I fear if I were not al>le to
make the repairs myself instead of hav
ing the machine shopped, I would be
compelled to quit the business," said
one of the operators.
Accidents have befallen a number of
cars and the expenses incurred thereby
have made the owners of some of the
buses think it advisable to quit the
game.
GERMANY'S REPLY
STILL WITHHELD
Continued From Firnt Pnffc.
bv (iabriele D'Annunzio, who was car
ried on the shoulders of the people. He
declared War was sacred, purifying and
exalting. The enthusiasm wis increas
ed by an address by Prince Colonua,
Mayor of Rome, in which ho emphasiz
ed the necessity for Italy to partici
pate in the war.
In an article summarizing the situa
tion, the "Tribune" says, "the die is
cast, the rubicon is crossed and till)
triple alliance has been denounced."
Made Concessions to Italy
Budapest, May 18.—Admission that
he had offered territorial compensation
to Italy as the price of continued peace
ful relations was made by Count Step
han Tiszu, the Hungarian premier, in a
carefully wordied Diet speech yesterday.
He declined definitely, however, to
state the nature of the concessions pro
posed. His speech was in reply to a
question by Count Andrassv who de
clared the opposition could not consent
to yield territory to Italy unless as
sured that this step was not a mere
matter of momentary necessity but the
product of a definite policy aiming nt
the elimination in future of all enmity
between Italy and Austria-Hungary.
"I opine," said Count Andrassy,
"that discord between the two States
would be a disadvantage to both and
profit would accrue only to a thiril
party which would take advantage of
this opportunity to obtain lasting su
premacy in the Mediterranean."
Count Tisza in reply endorsed the
j views of Count Andrassy.
Predict Pope in Peace Conference
Home, May 18 Via Paris, 9.54 A.
M. —The declaration has born maile
liero that Monsigner Wilhelm Nolens,
the Netherlands prelate now in this
city, was sent with the purpose of re
establishing a Dutch legation to the
Vatican, a- mission which was sup
pressed when diplomatic relations be
tween Holland and the Vatican were
interrupted as a result of the failure of
the Netherlands Minister of Foreign
Affairs to invite Pope Ijco to the first
peace conference at the Hague.
In these efforts some observers see
a purpose to hold the peace conference
which will follow the war at The
Hague, with the l'ope taking part.
