THE FULTON COUNTY NEWS. McCONNELLSBURG. PA. CAUSED p .1 u 1 1 Submarine Saves Many From t Watery Grave. STEAMER ALLOWED TO GO ON Thrilling Story Told By Mrs. Egan, Who Wat a Passenger On the British Steamer Barulos Which Wat Halted By Turkish Submarint Commanded By a German Officer In the Mediterranean Most of Thost On Board Wert Orientals and Greeks When Shot Was Heard Passengers Became Panicky 50 Saved. New York. A Turkish submarine stopped the British passenger ship Rarulos in the Mediterranean and after 25 persons had been drowned as sisted In rescuing many of the 2L0 passengers who had pone overboard In panic, according to Eleanor Franklin Egan, an eye-witness, who arrived here on the steamship New York. The Barulos, according to Mrs. Et:an, who Is a writer, returning from a six months' trip through Southern Europe, left Piraeus for Alexandria on October 2. Although the ship flew the British flag, her crew was Greek, the passengers, a majority third-class, be ing chiefly Greeks and Orientals. V.'hen about five hours south of Crete the ship picked up three boats con taining the crew of the British steam ship Sailor Trince, which had been mnk by a submarine a few hours pre vious. The Barulos, Mrs. Egan said, carried only four Il.Vboats, each with a capacity for 30 people. The picking up of the crew of the Sailor Prince created a feelii.g of excitement which was at fever heat, when suddenly a submarine came to thp surface about two miles distant and fired a shot over the Barulos, evidently as a signal for her to stop. In Wild Panic. "Instantly a wild ranic broke loose," said Mrs. Ewan. "The four lifeboats of the rarulos were resting in their chocks, while swung alongside were the two boats In which tl.e nu n from the Sailor Prince had made their escape. "Led by the crew and the fireroom force, the passengers rushed for the boats. Women, unable to get to the toats, threw their children into the sea and Jumped after them. -Frightened sailors cut the ropes holding the small boats, and when the latter crashed Into the water three of the six were swamped and emptied of their human loads. "I was at the nil when the sub marine appeared, and I started back toward the stairs leading below, with the Idea of helping to quell the panic. 1 was caught In the rush and literally forced over the side Into the sea. I had a hard time to keep above the water, my difficulties being aggra vated by the struggles of others try Inc to catch hold of me. "It seemed that I had no sooner struck the water than the submarine appeared under the bow of our ship. On her deck I saw a number of men with an officer, whom I took to be an Austrian. The submersible bad her collapsible lifeboat out and the sub marine crew were pulling people out of the water onto her deck. "The officer was holdlnc up his hands shouting to the people In the water to be caiin. I heard him say in pcrf"ct EnglNh: "'For God's sake, go back to your ship, we are not murderers.'"

It Is reported from Switzerland that the Austro-Cermans are sending rein forcements into the Balkans to meet this new Russian offensive, but other sources stale that the reinforcements are en route to the western front be cause of the fact that the Balkan cam paign Is having a direct effect on all fronts. In Gallcia, the Austro-Germans are attacking in the hope of compelling tho Russians to divert a part of the Bessa rablan army thence. While the Austrians opposing tho Italian offensive on the Isoiuo are un able to get assistance, they are counter-attacking with terrific fury and have thus far prevented the Italians from capturing Gorizia, which had been bard pressed for nearly a week.

S.Laws. $750,000 FROM GERMANY Prosecution Refuses To. Accept Con cession, Preferring To Prove Charges By Testimony Intent To Defraud Government Denied. New York. In the alleged con spiracy of several Hamburg-American Steamship Line officials to deceive and defraud the United States by sending neutral relief ehips with coal and other supplies, to German men-of-war in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans at the be ginning of the European war Captain K. Boy-Ed, German naval attache, with headquarters at the German Em bassy In Washington, played a leading role, according to witnesses who testi fied In the Federal court here. One of these witnesses swore that Captain Boy-Ed personally directed the expenditure of approximately $750,000 which, unsolicited and unexpected, had been deposited to the witnesses' credit in a New York banking house early In September, 1914. Of this money, the witness testified, $350,000 I was telegraphed to the Neveda Nation al Bank at San Francisco In one lump sum, $213,000 was paid In several amounts to the North German Lloyd Steamship Line here, about $75,000 to the Hamburg-American Line here and by cable money order In Hamburg and some of the remainder was still on band. All of these disbursements, this witness asserted, were made by order by Captain Boy-Ed. German Importer Chief Witness. This witness, Gustave B. Kulcn kampff, a German importer and ex porter, with offices here, and others testified in the trial of Dr. Karl Buenz, Adolph Hackmelstor, George Koetter and Joseph Poepplnghausen, all offi cials of the Hamburg-American Line, who are charged with conspiracy in having directed the loading and dis patching of 16 vessels to tho relief of a half dozen or more German warships isolated from supplies In the Atlantic and Pacific. Oceans. Tho testimony, which virtually opened the Government's case, follow ed a short address to the Jury by Roger B. Wood, Assistant United States District Attorney, in which. Mr. Wood said that the Government would show that "the defendants rode rough srfod over the laws and treaties of the United States as contemptuously as If those laws and treaties bad been mere scraps of paper." Prosecution Rejects Concessions.. William Rand, counsel for the de fendants, offered to concede certain charges of the Government, involving 12 steamers, and In his concession ad mitted that Dr. Buenz and his asso ciates had sent out 'the vessels as charged to meet German warships In the Atlantic nnd deliver their supplies. Mr. Rand said that In sending these vessels his clients were acting on legitimate orders which came to them by cable from the home office of the company in Hamburg. Cut the Gov ernment lawyers rejected tho conces sion and sought to prove their case out of the mouths of witnesses. "The defense Is not willing to admit the facts; It Is trying to smother them," was Mr. Woods' retort to Mr., Rand's offer. "Quite the contrary," replied Mr. Rand smilingly. "We are willing to admit (hat $750,000 has been spent as the Government Is trying so hard to prove. Why, we are willing to go much further than that we will ad mit that $2,000,000 of Cerman money was spent In chartering ahd supplying vessels for relief of German warships." "And how much more?" asked Mr. Wood. "That la all I know of," was tho re ply; "but, admitting tho facts, we do not admit the Intent to deceive or de fraud, as charged In the Indictment."

Washington. Execution at Beirut of 11' members of an Egyptian secret so ciety, which, It Is claimed, bad for Its object the dismemberment of Turkey and the creation of an Independent Arabian state under the protectorate of Grent Britain, was announced here by the Turkish Embassy. The mem bers of the society, the embassy al leges, planned to assassinate high offi cials and many other prominent people. The text of the announcement fol lows: ' "The Ottoman government having been' Informed of the existence in Egypt, with branches In Syria and Irak, of a secret society whose aim the creating of nn Independent Arabian state under Great Britain's protectorate, ordered a most thorough Inquiry be made. The purpose of this was to discover who were the pro moters of this society, the object of which under the Instigation of a hos tile power, was the dismemberment of Turkey, notwithstanding the strong ties which bind all Arabs to the mother country. ' . "This inquiry, conducted with the utmost care and earnest desire of find ing out the truth, brought out the most undeniable proof of the existence of this society. The aim of the conspiracy was to create disturbances In the country by committing criminal acts, Buch as the assassination of high dig nitaries, as well as a great number of prominent people, and thus attain Its unlawful ends. "The unearthing of Important docu ments having been the means of dis covering the promoters of tho con spiracy, several arrests took place and the matter was brought before the court-martial in Beirut. This case was. tried with all due precaution. The culpability of the accused having been established, some of the traitors, most of whom by default, were sentenced to death In virtue of article 54 of the Ottoman Criminal Code. "Out of the 13 culprits sentenced, and who were actually arrested, 11 were executed In Beirut and two were pardoned by the Sultan on account of their age.

Calls Attention To Law. Harrlsburg. Dr. Samuel O. Dixon, State Commissioner of Health, called upon the hunters of Pennsylvania to take steps to protect the public health while they are In the woods after deer next month. It Is estimated that about 7,000 persons will go deer hunting on State lands alone, and the commission er has sent this letter to every one re ceiving a State permit, asking tbem to take care of waste at camps, bo that streams may not be polluted. The commissioner's letter is as fol lows: "I note thnt you have been granted a permit by the State Forestry De partment to erect a' camp within a State forest reservation. In this con nection I wish to call your attention to Rule 3, of the regulations printed on the back of your permit, which stipulates that 'springs and streams must not be contaminated.' "This rule Is inserted to emphasize the provisions of an Act of the General Assembly approved April 22, 1905, which prohibits the discharge of any sewage Into State waters. This law was made necessary because the dis charge of sewage from camps, private homes and publicly and privately owned sewer systems, not only caused obnoxious conditions, but largely was responsible for the spread of various forms of water-borne disease by the pollution of streams used as sources of public or private water supply. Among these forms of disease which cause the death of thousands of our citizens annually may be mentioned typhoid fever and epidemic dysentery. "In order to comply wlt the pro visions of this law, it Is necessary that all sewage from your camp be de stroyed In a sanitary and safe method and not discharged into a stream or left on the ground. Garbage also should be Included with sewage. You probubly will find that the best method of disposal will be by burying. The pit for garbage and sewage should be at least two hundred feet from any well, spring or stream and should b on level or only gently sloping ground. The accumulations In the pit should be covered each day with a thick sprinkling of chlorinated lime or hypochlorite of lime (bleach), and a layer of earth not less than three Inches In thickness. When the de posits In the pit have accumulated to within eighteen Inches of the surface of the ground, the dirt should be re placed and a new pit dug. "When you abandon the camp, you must be sure that all the pits 'are re filled with earth and any excess neatly banked or spread over the top." State Will Guard Munition Plants. ' Every plant in Pennsylvania manu facturing explosives, shells or other munitions of war, now Is under special Inspection by tate Inspectors. Re ports on conditions in every plant have been made regularly for the last year and a half, but recently steps have been taken to Improve the safety ar rangements and to avoid as far as pos sible the accidents which statistics sent to the Capitol have shown prob ably are -due to the "speeding up" of plants on war orders or the careless handling of dangerous substances. The despatch of two of the experts from the Department of Labor and In dustry to the Bethlehem Steel Works, is only part of the State campaign, as every works manufacturing munitions Is to be visited by experts and super visors in addition to the regular in spectors, and the preventive work or agnized as far as possible. The plan of the State officials is to insist upon strict inspection 'and rigid compliance with the regulations of the factory In spection, but to go beyond that by ask ing the co-operation of employes in making conditions safe. Safety Devices Lessen liability. "Safety devices and precautions in an employer's plant reduce compensa tion liability. The more safeguards In a plant of nn employer, the cheaper will be that employer's Insurance. The less an employer must pay for Insur ance, the lower will be his manufac turing cost," is the warning given in Bulletin No. 1, of the State Workmen's Compensation Commission, Just Issued. The bulletin also states that the fundamental principle of compensation "is that the cost of industrial acci dents should be added to the selling cost of the product and be distributed among the consumers," and that "per sonal loss of the employe is as legitimately an element of the fair money cost of the production of the commodity as are expenditures for rnw material for machinery or wages." Validity Of Public Service Act Upheld. The Dauphin County Court In a brief opinion refused to grant a preliminary injunction restraining the Public Serv Ice Commission from passing on the contracf for street lightning between the City of Williamsport and the Lycoming Edison' Company. More im portant than the matter Involved is the Intimation of tho Court that If the case Is carried farther the constitu tionality of the ' Public Service law, which is attacked in the petition, filed by Abraham Fisher, a resident of Wil liamsport, will be upheld.
