KAISER To EXEMPT

Willing, if Washington viii Guar
antee Vessels Will Not
Carry Munitions
SteciaI to The Telegraph

Berlin. June 25.-There are good
prospects that the forthcoming Ger
man note to the United States will
go a long way toward meeting the
American governments wishes re-
garding Germany's conduct of subma-
rine warfare and making passenger
traffic on the high seas safe.
While 1t is stated that submarine
action against hostile merchantmen
will not and cannot be abandoned en-
tirely. 1t is increasingly probable that
the German note will embody some
proposals to exempt ships employed
wholly or principally in passenger traf-
fic from submarine attack.
Such ships, it is said. of course,
would be subject to stoppage and eX-
animation by submarines, in accord
ance with the practice in vogue prior
to the present war, and to capture if
carrying contraband, but the regular
rules of the prize law, particularly re-
garding the safety of passengers and
crews, would be observed.
Berlin, it is understood wants Wash
ington to guarantee vessels will not
carry munitions and on this condition
will observe the rules of prize law in
vogue before the war started.

COUNCIL AND DIXON

Just what method the State Health
Department wants the city to adopt
for the final disposal of it's sewage will
be ascertained by the City Commission
at conference with DIR. Samuel G..
Dixon, State Health Commissioner,
and G. A. Emerson, chief engineer of
the department, to be held upon the
return of DR.. Dixon from his vacation.
Several months ago the State au-
thorities informed Council that the
city would have to take some definite
steps toward installing the proposed
garbage disposal plant on Rosebud
island opposite the lower end of the
city.
Plans have long since been pre-
pared and submitted to the State
Health Department for the construc-
ton of a disposal plant at which the
sewage emptying from the River
Front and the Paxton creek intercept
tors could be concentrated. The State
Health Commissioner, however, wants
the proposed structure raised on con-
crete piles or piers in order to elimi-
nate the possibility of a shutdown of
the plant during high water. The
entire structure as proposed would

$1,000 A DAY JITNEY
COST To RAILWAY CO.
Believed That ZIG Motor Buse.
Have Cut Heavily Into
Trolley Receipts

That the jitneys are cutting into the
receipts of the Harrisburg Railways
Company at the rate of at least 81, 900
day is the belief of men on the
streets who have carefully watched the
growth of this popular form of trans
portation.
The majority of them reach this
conclusion by the following methods:
There have been 276 iitney licenses
taken out in this city. At least 200, a
low estimate, are running every day,
they say. The cars easily average Sc
a day each. which makes the total daily
receipts $1,000. They estimate the
decrease in trolley receipts at $1,000
day.
The Valley Railways COMPANY is
not feeling the effect of the iitneys be-
cause they find it Improbable to com
pete with them on account of the
bridge tolls.

Baltimoreans
MTX-UP In THE ORDERS

Thurmont, Md, June 25.-Six per-
sons, four of them Baltimoreans, were
killed, and a dozen more or less
seriously injured when the Blue Noun
tain Express and the Fast Mail of
the Western Maryland Railway crash
ed together on a bridge one hundred
feet high, over Owens Creek, a few
miles west of here last night.
The dead are: Mrs. w. Edwin Chip
chase, Baltimore; Walter n. Chip
chase, her son, 81 years old, Baltimore; |;
Coleman Cook, engineer, Baltimore:
C. r. Fritz, travelling fireman, Hagers-
town; ]. R. Hayes fireman, Baltimore:
Luther Hull, baggageman, Hagers-
town.
Injured seriously: ]. r. Sendregraft,
Baltimore, fireman, leg and ribs
broken.
The Blue Mountain express, west
bound, was late. If on time, it would
have passed the mail, east bound, not
far from the point at which the wreck
occurred. The change in the schedule,
in the course of which a miXup in the
orders given the conductors of the
two trains is said to have occurred,
resulted in bringing the two trains to-
gether, both running at high speed on
the bridge. which spans a mountain
ravine, through which the creek runs
over a rocky bed.
So great was the impact that the
two engines were almost completely
telescoped. Locked together their
combined weight held both to the
track and perhaps prevented a greater
catastrophe. .'''--'.
The baggage car of the Blue Noun
tain Express in which Mrs. Chipchase,
who was an invalid, accompanied by
her son, was riding. lying in a reclin-
ing chair, was torn from its trucks
and thrown to the bed of the creek.
The Pullman parlor car imm ediately
back of the baggage car, veered near
the edge of the bridge, but did not
leave the rails, its occupants escaping
practically without injury.
