Seattle, Wash, Feb. 19.-David

dynamiting Of the Los Angeles Times
building in the Fall of 1910, was ar
rested last night on his chicken ranch.
two miles inland from Rolling Bay,

Seattle.
Caplan, according to Walter r.
Thayer, manager of the Seattle branch
of the William j. Burns detective
agency, admitted his identity and ex-
pressed a Willingness to return to Los
Angeles for trial. He was taken to
Port Orchard, county seat of Kitsap
county, where he was placed in Jail
under an armed guard.
For two years he had been living un-
der the name of Frank MolIer on a
small chicken ranch back of Rolling
Bay. He also conducted a barber shop
in Rolling Bay. He was found, Thayer
said, through information gathered by
William ]. Burns, after the arrest OF
Schmidt last Saturday in New York.
Caplan was in bed when the off,

that he was recognized as David Cap

Ian said, according to a statement

THINK SKELETON WAS
ORIGINALLY IN WELL
District Attorney Stroup Says
Solution of Mystery Is Thousand
to One Shot

"A thousand-to-one shot that the
mystery will never be solved" is the
way District Attorney Michael e.
Stroup sizes up the murder mystery
on the HILL
When you consider that the body
appears to have been buried at least
ten years and that half a dozen fami-
lies lived at the house during the time
the body may have been buried, and
that no marks of Identification have
been found, you can see how indefinite
the clues are that we must work on
said Mr.. Stroup. I'VE are working on
several clues in different directions,
but at present we cannot publish any
details OF course, the Bessie Guyer
theory is now out of the question"
The possibility of the body having
been buried in well or cistern before
the building of the house is being
considered by County Detective James
E. Walters The cramped position in
which the bones were found. the soggy
nature of the ground and the fact that
formerly the location was the site of a
large yard surrounding a suburban
residence are ain said to be circum-
stances favoring SIch a theory
1t is pointed Aut that the place
where the skeleton was unearthed
would have been about eight or nine
feet from the original surface and
might have been used as q hiding
place and afterward Nlled up. The
moist nature of the soil WOULD possibly
preserve the skeleton much longer
than dry soil.

Travelling Salesman by Letter
Urges Judge to Bar Them
From Saloons

The old, true story of the "man
VINO came back" after tragic years of
drunkard's life, of the wife who
went into the saloon to rescue her
drunken husband, of the travelling
statesmen who feared possible effects
on their business by the scarlet wom-
ans violations of the liquor law, of
the friend" of the drinking man who
couldn't convince that friend of the
folly of his ways. of the distracted
neighbors who couldn't sleep o. nights
because of the proximity of the disor-
derly hotel-they were all called to
the Dauphin county courts attention
to-day when applications were heard
for the granting of liquor licenses for
1915.
Rem tonstrances had been filed
against the relicensing of John Mack
ert's bottling establishment in Upper
Paxton township, against Harry White
who wants the privilege for another
year at the Ann street hotel, Middle

piled for the privileges at the Pax

conducts Il saloon in the Eighth ward,
and against five or six hotelkeepers OF

the conduct of some of the city hotels

FRENCH STEAMER
TORPEDOED; WAR
UNDER SEA BEGINS
Germany Is Making Every Effort to Carry Out Threat to
Sink Allies Ships in ar Zone Around British Isles;
Austrian Forces Continue to Advance in Eastern
Theater; Furious Fighting in Carpathians

Germany has struck the first blow
since her war zone decree went into
affect. A French steamer was torpe-
doed in the English channel by a Ger
man submarine. She was able to
reach port although badly damaged.
Berlin newspapers, commenting on
the German reply to the American
note, reflect the feeling that there
must be no departure from the posi-
tlon Germany has taken. The influ-
entlal Lokal Anzeiger says that I'VE
Germans has resolved to fight without
regard for the consequences.
The second of the British bi-weekly
reports from the frone speaks of Sc
we're lighting near Ypres, on the west
ern end of the battle lines. German
attacks gained possession of several
German trenches, which. however,
were Won back subsequently.
The Austrian troops are reported to
be continuing their victorious advance
through Bukowina, rolling back the
extreme eastern end of the Russian
line. London dispatch says that
the Russians have now evacuated all
of Bukowina. Official reports from
Petrograd and Vienna speak of en-
counters of great severity in the Car
pathians, but apparently no decision
is near. In Northern Poland the Rus
slams are making desperate efforts to
stay the advance of the German army
which drove them from East Prussia,
and the fighting now in progress is re-
ported by the Petrograd war office as
reaching the climax of stubbornness. -
Substantial Gains Made
The German war office in to-day's
communication asserts that substan-
tial progress has been made in the
invasion of Northern Russia along the
German border following the expulsion
of the Russian army from East Prus-
sia. The Germans are said to have
captured Tauroggen, in the province
of Kovno. as well as several villages
farther south. In Central Poland,
along the Warsaw front, the situation
is unchanged.

RESUME WORK ON
BIG STEEL ORDER
Will Mean Increased Operations in
Several Departments of
SteeltOn Plant

The Pennsylvania Steel Company to-
day resumed work on an order for
10000 tons of steel for a railroad
bridge across the Mississippi river at
Memphis, Tenn.
This is the largest order on the COM
pany's books and its release will bring
greatly increased operations in several
departments of the Steelton plant.
The recently built eye-bar mill has
been placed into operation at the west
end of the plant so that the company
will be able to manufacture it's own
eye-bars. Hitherto it has been
necessary to have the eye-bars made
elsewhere. The bridge shop depart
ment will also feel the effects of this
big order and it is likely that the
working time of a considerable por-
tion of the department will be increas-
ed to handle the work of fabrication.
This big order was secured by the
local concern last March. Actual con-
struction work had been started and
bridge was well under way when the
job was tied up owing to some diff
Guilty in financing the project.
Vice-president j. V. w. Reynders
took personal charge of the negotia-
tions for securing a release of the big
job, it is known. That the project has
been Strengthened out is due to his
personal efforts, is believed in Steel
ton.
Rumors to the effect that this big job
had been released have been making

Germany's Reply to U. S.
Has Not Been Delivered
to Washington Officials
By Associated Press

Washington, Feb. 19-The official
text of Germany's reply to the United
States note warning against damage
to American ships in the naval war
zone about the British Isles had not
been received at the State Department
to-day; in fact there were no advices
from Ambassador Gerard that it had
been delivered to him by the Berlin
Foreign Office, although officials know
from other advices that the German
note has been delivered to the Amer
lean ambassador and is, in fact, now
on it's way to America.
Officials explained the delay by
pointing out that the ambassador has
been using the cable which comes from
Rome and goes over a circuitous route
with numerous relays, while the un-
official information about the cores
pondence has been sent from Berlin
to London through neutral countries
and then has taken the direct cable
to the United States.
