ROMAN-M' 'CUSKER
FEUD IS RENEWED
Members of Maryland Families
Again Quarrel and Man Is
Terribly Beaten

Hagerstown, Md, July 10.-Oficers
are securing the mountains north of
Hancock for Oliver McCusker, who is
alleged to have assaulted and bodily
injured aged Richard Roman, head of
the Roman family, on O road four
miles north of Hancock. The assault
was the outcome of a feud of long
standing BETWEEN the Roman and Nc
CuSker families, who live in the noun
tains near the Pennsylvania line and
which has been dormant since the
murder of JEFF Roman by Claude Nc
Cusker, about four years ago. The
latter is now serving a long sentence
in the Maryland penitentiary for the
crime.
Old man Roman, Oliver McCusker
and Abner McCusker, an uncle of
Oliver. had been in Hancock during
the day and were returning home
when the assault occurred. Roman
and McCusker quarreled, it is said, as
a result of the family differences. Ro-
man, who is 20 years old, was no
match for his young opponent, and
was oVerpowered. He was mercilessly
beaten having one ear nearly torn off,
his nose and jaw broken and three
ribs fractured. He is in critical con-
dttion. McCusker fled across the line
into Pennsylvania and is said to be
hiding in the mountains.
Apparently on friendly terms the
Romans and McCuskers have nursed
a spirit of enmity for years. The
shooting of jeff Roman added fuel to
the feud spirit. Claude McCusker was
at large for over two years and was
captured near Bedford, Pa, where he
was living under an assumed name,
and brought here and tried for mur-
der last November. The trial, which
was one of the most interesting in the
annals of the local court, was attended
by the Roman and McCusker families.

Scott feared for himself. He knew
what it would mean. should his
strength be not great enough to hold
out. He would be carried over the
side of the cliff with the one clinging
to him! His foot slipped slightly,
dislodging a pebble that bounced its
echoing way down the mountain
side. A horrible, cold dread was on
him. His feet were slipping! With a
quick, fearful, desperate stroke he
struck her hand from his arm, and,
shrinking back against the wall.
watched her start on her downward
slide, dragging host Of rafting peb-
bles in her wake.
She had slid about fifty feet when
her outstretched, frantically-grasping
hand closed around tough twig

abruptly, luckily having caught a
grip there, for few feet below her
the slope stopped abruptly on a chasm
yawning wide.
She glanced fearfully over her
shoulder and turned back quickly,
nauseated. At any moment the twig
to which she clung might give way,
and she would slide into that fright
full, bottomless chasm. She looked
appealingly, beseechingly at her hus-
band, shrunk tight, horror stricken

OF
AMBASSADOR
TURNED DOWN
By Gibson Gardner

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE administration is unable
10 take official notice Of unofficial looking toward
peace, made by Count Won Benstorff ambassador
10 the United States.
Unless Won Bernstor makes his propositions in some
more formal and official fashion, they will be ignored
There several for this the chief being
that President Wilson has been definite and
mistakabe by the British, Russian and French
bassadors that terms Of the unofficial proposals for peace
put out by Non Bernstor entirely unsatisfactory, and
that the present time to vague and indefinite
pour parours
Despite official dena is learned that Won Benstorff
himself responsible for the reports circulated in Washing
in regard to Berlns willingness consider peace pro-
poas With the understanding that he should be quoted
these proposals published.
They substantially follows
G) That Berlin would for peace.
) That the subject might be discussed the basis of
return to the quo the time declared
(3) That Germany is unwilling consider paying
indemnity for the damage Belgium.
(4) That Belgium be evacuated by the German armies.
(5) That Russia shall have way through the Dar
danelcs and that proper arrangement should be made by
Germany with Turkey to accomplish this result
(6) That Alsace and Lorraine remain German
rtory
Cd That Germany shall purchase the Belgian Congo for
a reasonable
(s) That in of future neutral commerce

m should be left future adjustment

Information which comes 20 the
White House Is TO the effect that
any effort to open up peace nogotia-
tions on the basis OF these informal
Ioy.rturcs would be waste OF time.
In the first place. the British.
Russian and French authorities as
sure the president that no negotia-
tIcae cnn eosforwsrd except with
tho consent Of all the allies and
there are many conditions men.
TONED in these informal suggestions
which would stand In the beginning
as permanent barriers 10 any pos.
sible understanding.
Allies Are Determined
England would insist. for exam
pie. ON an indemnity for Belgium
and the permanent assurance as
to the neutrality OF that country.
But the one thing which is con
trolling In the thought OF the allies
Is the determination TO make impos-
sihle recurrence. at least N the
near future. OF any such outbreak
as that OH the part OF Germany.
which started the present mael-
strom.
Until the allies have used the ut.
/ most of the force which they have
been preparing TO accomplish this
end. they are not willing TO delay
their military preparations or COM
plicate the diplomatic situation by
considering Won Bernstorffs over
lures
II is understood that the French
and English dc not regard Won Bern
storffs proposals as seriously made.
Don't Take Him Seriously
They are Intended. II il charged.
Is an offset TO the prevailing belief
that Germany has been not only re-
sponsihle for beginning the trouble,
but from the start has been un-
willing 10 consider peace proposals
by the United states.
When President Wilson attempt
cd TO mediate at the beginning of
the trouble. the German authorities
were as determined and Rs out
spoken ss the allies IN rejecting
the good offices OF the United
States.
Our secretary OF state was as
sured that the Germans had no
doubt as to the successful outcome
OF their venture, and that only when
their arms were crowned with sue.
cess would they consider terms OF
peace.
II Is only the more optimistic who
see In this Won Bernstorff incident
any hope for the beginning OF
serious negotiations looking TO
permanent peace.
