Bu Associated Press.

Washington, May 5.-Labor condi-
tons in the Pennsylvania railroad af-
fecting its telegraphers and shopmen,
were inquired into from the standpoint
of the railroad company at the contin-
uation to-day of the hearings before
the Federal Industrial Relations Com
mission.
The commission had already heard
Fl. B. Perham, president of the Order
of Railway Telegraphers, regarding
complaints by that organization
against the Pennsylvania. The COM
plants charged that the railroad com
pany refused to recognize the tele-
graphers' unions, made every effort to
break up existing unions and prevent
organization of the others.
Pennsylvania railroad officials were
heard on these complaints to-day, W..
w. Atterbury, vice president, being the
principal witness.
Railroad Dominates Altoona
Perham, as the first witness to-day,
was questioned by R. H. Ashton, vice
president of the Chicago and North
western railway, on telegraphers
working conditions. Ashton brought
out that telegraphers and signal men
on the main line of the Pennsylvania,
where traffic is dense, work eight
hours day.
In response to questions by Com
missioner O'Connell relating to condi-
tions at Altoona, Pa, where the Penn
sylvania has large shop, Mr.. Perham
declared that the railroad dominated
the city and that employees who incur
red displeasure of railroad officials
could not find work there.

Sinking of Ship
WOULD INVOLVE
USELESS DELAY
States Destruction of American Vessel
by Prinz Eitel Was Violation of
Existing Treaty Stipulations Be-
tween United States and Prussia
Bv Associated Press.

Washington May 5.-The text of the
American note to Germany declining
the suggestion that reparation for the
sinking of the American sailing ship
William F. Frye by the converted
cruiser Prinz Eitel Friedrich be made
through a German prize court, and re-
iterating the representations for in
iemnity was made public to-day by
the State Department. 1t already has
been presented TO the Berlin Foreign
Office in the form of communication
from Ambassador Gerard. 1t follows:
''In reply to Your Excellency 5 note
Of the 5th instant, which the govern
nent of the United States understands
admits the liability of the imperial
German government for the damages re-
sulting from the sinking of the Amer
lean sailing vessel William p. Frye by
the German auxiliary cruiser Prinz
Eitel Friedrich on January 2S, last,
have the honor to say, by direction of
my government, that, while the prompt
ness with which the imperial German
government has admitted its liability
is highly appreciated, my government
feels that it would be inappropriate in
the circumstances of this case and
would involve unnecessary delay to
adopt the suggestion in your note that
the legality of the capture and destruc
tion, the standing of the claimants and
the amount of indemnity should be cub
mitted to a prize court.
Liability of the Germans
Unquestionablv the destruction of
this vessel was a violation of the obE-
cations imposed upon the imperial Ger
man government under existing treaty
stipulations between the United States
and Prussia. and the United States gov
ernment by virtue of its treaty rights
has presented TO the imperial German
government a claim for indemnity on
account of the resulting damages suf-
fered by American citizens.
"The liability of the imperial Ger
man government and the standing of
the claimants as American citizens and
tions which lend themselves to diplo-
matte negotiations between the two
governments and happily the question
of liability has already been settled in
that way. The status of the claimants
and the amount of indemnity are the
only questions remaining to be settled

Left Balcony Door Unlocked

Mrs. Hawthorn is of the decided
opinion that she could not have receiv-
ed her injuries in dream, although
she does not know how or when they
were inflicted. She says that although
she had read of experiences like this
mornings she had not expected that
anything of the sort ever would hap
pen to her, and that she had been ac-
customed to keep her balcony door
open without fear of intruders.
There had been no attempted rob
berries in the vicinity of the Haw-
thorn home for some time, and the resi-
dents of the neighborhood say that
they have seldom taken the precautions
to lock all their doors at night. They
add, however, that they will let no
doors unlocked hereafter.

Foot Prints on the Carpet

Since the time of his accident his
wife has been in nervous condition.
After be had responded this morning
to her cry, and had at the time seen
no traces of burglar, he attributed
the incident to dreams. His wife too,
who was in a dazed condition, was for
the time satisfied with that explana-
tion.
In broad daylight, however, there
were unmistakable proofs that the af-
fair had been more than dream. The
tracks of muddy shoes were plainly
visible on the floor of the bed room,
leading to and from the balcony door;
bureau drawer was found ranSaeked;
an open handbag containing a few
handkerchiefs was discovered on the
floor; bench was disclosed leaning
diagonally against the kitchen wall by
means of which access could easily be
had to the balcony and most conclusive
of all the bruise and scratches on Mrs.
Hawthorn were revealed. Nothing in
the room was missing

sacks Bureau But Forced to Flee
Before Obtaining Any Loot

As the result of an experience with
burglar in her bedroom at 8 clock
this morning Mrs.. Edmund c. Haw-
thorn, of 2S05 Prospect street, is suf,
fering from a painful bruise on the side
of her head and nervous breakdown.
She does not know how the injury was
inflicted, nor how she got scratches
which to-day appear on her throat, ap-
parently made by sharp finger nails,
but she believes the burglar tried to
beat her senseless and choke her as she
slept
Suddenly awakened by what she
now thinks must have been a blow on
her head, causing the bruise she saw a
man erouching at the foot of her bed.
She gave loud scream, which served
to drive the burglar through the open
balcony door and a few seconds later
to bring her husband, armed with a re.
volver, from an adjoining room. Mr..
Hawthorn had been awakened instant
ly by the scream, and seizing his weap-
on had dashed into his wife 8 room. He
fired two shots from the balcony at
random, but could see nothing of the
intruder.
Mr.. Hawthorn, the proprietor of the
Mount Pleasant garage, was one of the
five men who were seriously burned at
the explosion of blazing machine in
the garage on September 16, last. He
was in the Harrisburg hospital until
September %, in very serious con-
dition. He has not yet fully recovered
strength.
