J., who was charged with perjury in connection with proceed ings growing out of the $50,000 breach of promise suit brought by Miss Rae Tanzer against James w.

Os- borne was the man he had seen at the hotel
 Other independent witnesses in the trial were Miss Tanzer and James w Osborne. Miss Tanzer, who had with drawn her suit and had said she was mistaken in alleging that James w Osborne was the man who promised to marry her, changed her ground again and testified that he was the man.

PENNSYLVANIA ROAD INSISTS
 ON OPEN SHOP PRINCIPLE
Answers Charges of unfairness to
 Organized Labor.

Washington, May 5.-The Pennsyl- yania Railroad company, answering charges of unfairness to organized la Dor before the United States commits sion on industrial relations today. de- clared through it's vice president, w. W. Atterbury, that it did not oppose organization of it's employees but did Insist upon the "open shop principle and opposed unions with affiliations which might bring on sympathetic strikes.
 We would welcome closer relations with our employees" said MT. Alter bury, "if it could be brought about under proper auspices. We would more than welcome an organization of all Pennsylvania railroad employees among themselves, without entangling outside alliances. Such an organization un- doubtedly would be good for the rail- road and anything that is good for the railroad is good for the employees" :,
 The objection of the Pennsylvania to the Order of Railroad Photographers, which made the complaint against the company to the commission, the wit ness said. was that it would make the men responsible to the president of the union and not to the proper off, cials of the railroad company
 MT. Atterbury championed mediation as the best means of settling labor disputes and said that he would well come a federal workmen's compensa- tion law for interstate commerce en- ployes modelled after some of the state compensation laws.
 Before MT. Atterbury submitted the attitude of the Pennsylvania H. B. Perham, president of the Order of Railroad Photographers, who testified yesterday, was again questioned by the commission as to complaints against the company.

PRELIMINARY REPORTS OF
 FOREGOING OF GULFLGHT
Fail to Disclose Nationality of Sub- marine Which Committed the At tack.

Washington, May 5.-!Preliminary reports received by the state depart ment today stating that the American steamer Gulf1ight was torpedoed with out warning while flying the Ameri- can flag left officials still in doubt only as to the nationality of the sub marine which committed the attack.
 Ambassador Page at London re- ported that he had set in motion a de- tailed investigation. He sent a naval constructor to make a technical ex- animation of the vessel. Consul Gen eral Skinner and his subordinates again have been instructed by the ambas- sador to take depositions and state ments from officers and members of the crew of the Gulf1ight. In the mean time Ambassador Gerard has asked the German government for informa- ton on the subject.
 The facts probably will not be avail able for several days, and until then no decision will be reached by the United States government as to the nature of the representations it will ask. It is thought in German quar- ters here that if the German govern ment learns that one of its submarines by mistake did attack the Gulf1ight, regret will be promptly expressed for the occurrence.

TO PAY INDEMNITY FOR
 SINKING THE FRYE
German Embassy in Washington Au- thorized to Deal with the Matter.

Washington, May By mutual agreement with the German foreign office, the state department today made public the text of it's reply to Germany's note concerning the claim of the United States for an indemnity to the owners of the American ship William P. Frye, sunk by the Prinz EiteI Friedrich
 The American communication takes note of the fact that Germany accepts liability for the act under the treaty of 1928 between the United States and Prussia, but declines the suggestion that a German prize court pass on the legality of the capture and destruc- ton, under the declaration of London, the standing of the claimants and the amount of indemnity.
 Pointing out that the United States early in the present war announced that it would not be bound by the declaration of London because it had not generally been ratified, the note asserts that the standing of the claim ants and the amount of indemnity lend themselves to diplomatic nego- tiation and suggests that the German embassy in Washington be authorized to deal with the matter.

AERoPLANEs TO BE USED
 TO LOCATE SEAL HERDS
To obviate Necessity of Fleet Search
 ing for Animals.

St. Johns, N. r., May 5.-A noval use of the aeroplane is under consid- eration by owners of sealing vessels. as a result of the failure of the seal hunt this year. It is proposed that two experienced aviators be engaged to visit the east coast and the Gulf of St. Lawrence, respectively, just be- fore the opening of the next season, and locate the herds. The informa- ton thus obtained would enable the fleet to sail directly for the scene of the hunt, instead of spending much time in searching for the animals
 The direct cause of the lack of suc- cess in the present season, which end- ed May 1, was the unusually heavy amount of ice packed along the coast by continuous inshore winds. The sealing steamers, although within a few miles of large herds of seals, were unable to reach them. The total catch was less than 50,000 belts, and the los sto vessel owners from the se9 sons operations is estimated at about $250, ,000.

of the neutral interrment of prison CTS, which had been considered. Switzerland, he said. was the only country where it could be done, and there were insuperable difficulties in the way of carrying out the proposals. "The duty of this country concluded the premier, 'is to preserve a clean record"
 The question had been brought up by Lord Robert Cecil, who said he had re- ceived letters from officers who had been subjected to special confinement by Germany because of the special treatment accorded German submarine officers by Great Britain. The British officers declared that they were locked up separately in cells, 12x6 feet, and were not allowed to smoke.
 Andrew Bonar Law, leader of the opposition, hoped that the country would no longer pay any attention to any convention which would prevent the war from being brought to an end. It was worth considering, he said, whether, at the risk of losing all Brit ish property in Germany, they should confiscate every German article throughout the British empire.

ETHICS OF BOSS RULE
 AND MACHINE POLITICS
Related by Former President Roose-
 welt on Witness Stand.

Syracuse, N. Y, May 5.-The ethics of boss rule and machine politics as Theodore Roosevelt claims they were expounded by William Barnes, who is suing Colonel Roosevelt for damages for alleged libel, were related by the former president upon the witness stand in the supreme court here late today. The colonel swore that Mr. Barnes had told him that the riff raff could not be trusted to handle political affairs without a leader" and had expressed himself as being in fa- vor of the democratic and republican organizations combining to defeat leg islation providing for direct primaries
 The colonel went upon the stand at the end of a day congested with testimony about public printing and public money. He related what he alleged to be the substance of con- versations he had with the former chairman of the republican state com mittee over a period lasting from 1898 until he left the White House He told his story with all the forcefulness at his command

The extent of the Austro-German victory in the Carpathians is indicated in the German official communication, in which the statement is made that the third fortified line of the Russians has been pierced by the Teutonic all lies that the Russians are beginning to evacuate positions on their northern flank, southwest of Dukla, and that the Russian prisoners taken number more than 30,000.
 . The Russian official statement says that the fighting in Galicia, between the Vistula and the Carpathians, is characterized by great Stubbornness; that the Germans have brought up fresh forces of great strength to the , fighting line, with much artillery, and that the Germans, attacking in massed formation, are suffering enormous I losses
 The Russian war office admits that several nights ago some of the Rus sian units fell back to the second line of Notifications. No late report is given respecting %hese particular op- erations.
 In the western theatre an attack on Hill No. 60, to the southeast of YpreS, held by the British, was partially suc- cessfuL an official communication from the British office saying that the Germans attained footing (there) un- der the cover of poisonous gases which were excessively used and were favor ed by weather conditions"
 Other attacks by the Germans were repulsed, both by the British and by the French, at various points along the front.
 Ten British trawlers have been sunk by German submarines during the past 24 hours, bringing the total since Sun day up to 15. Many of the trawlers made an effort to escape and, as a matter of fact, some did escape, reach ing port in safety.
 Official information respecting the operations in the Dardanelles is being withheld, possibly until some progress of striking importance has been made. Meanwhile, it is unofficially reported from Mytilene that the Turkish army has suffered very heavy losses both from the guns of the fleet and at the hands of the allied forces ashore.
 The towns of Dardanelles, Maidos and Gallipoli have been burned and the campaign against the Dardanelles has now assumed a foremost plice in the war.
 A late report from Rome says that an agreement between Austria and Italy regarding territorial concessions on the part of Austria in return for Italian neutrality is now among the possibilities because Austria realizes Italy'S determination to intervene in the war If she does not obtain the ter ritory which she demands.
