CAPTA|NE. W. BURNS
DIES At HAGERST0WV
For Many Years Was Passenger and
Freight Agent For Cumberland
Valley Railroad

Captain Edward Watson Burns,
aged 65 years, former passenger and
freight agent for the Cumberland VAL
ley Railroad, died suddenly yesterday
at his home at Hagerstown. Md. He
was known throughout eastern rail-
road circles. His duties brought him
to Harrisburg almost daily.
He is survived by a widow and three
sons, Edward ]. Burns, of San Diego,
Cal; Herbert S. Burns, of New York,
and Robert NJ. Burns. of Oakland Cal
The funeral will be held in Hagers-
town Sunday afternoon at 4.30 o'clock.
Captain Edward w. Burns was born
al Chambersburg in 1850. He was
educated at the high school and acad-
emy in that place. During the year
1858 he assisted his father as editor of
the Philadelphia North American.
Captain Burns entered the service of
the Cumberland Valley Railroad in
1867 as a clerk to Superintendent o. N
1ull at Chambersburg. He became
travelling passenger and freight agent
about twenty-five years ago. While a
passenger conductor Captain Burns
was injured in wreck in 1904. sus-
tanning broken leg and other injuries.
He was widely known and one of the
most popular men in the Cumberland
Valley service. He was a member of
the, Order of Railway Conductors,

ley Relief Association and the Old
Reliable Conductors Association

thought that possibly he was suffering
from fractured skull.
DR.. Zabriskie, of Glen Cove, was the
first physician to reach the Morgan
home. Other physicians were sum-
moned, among them DIR. Lyle of St.
amined Mr.. Morgan and during the
day kept in constant telephone touch
With his office advising of the pa
TENTS progress. 1t was said that their
advices were increasingly optimistic.
Bullet in Painting
Servants examining the premises
after the shooting found the first bull
let, apparently the one which had
ripped through the flesh of Mr. Nor
gan'S breast lodged in an oil painting
on the library wall. The other bullet
entered the hip and came out through
the groin.
Morgan's Butler Uninjured
Henry Fiske, Mr.. Morgan's butler,
who felled the assailant with a coal
hod ndthereby doubtless saved Mr..
Morgan from more serious injury, was
not hurt, apparently, by his encounter
afterwards with the would-be assassin.
The police assert that Holt had been
living in Glen Cove about a week. He
had been seen by various persons in
the street and his presence in the
neighborhood of the Morgan home
last Thursday had been commented on
before the shooting
In his cell. the assailant began the
preparation of a written statement
which he informed the police he
wanted to give out to the newspapers.
Attack Result of War Loan Activities
When the news of the shooting of
Mr.. Morgan reached financial circles
in New York the question was raised
as to whether the financier's activity
in connection with the European war
had anything to do with the motive
of the attack upon him. The house
of j. P. Morgan & Co., was the pur-
chasing agent of the British govern
ment for munitions and supplies
bought in this country
1t was only this morning that the
announcement had been made promi-
nently in New York newspapers of de-
tails of plan of a group of bankers,
of which Mr.. Morgan was one of the
leaders. for the fotation in this coun-
try of s100,000.000 of the new British
war loan.
In March last Mr.. Morgan crossed
the ocean on a mission which he him
self did not disclose, but which was
generally supposed to be the arrang-
ing of credits in this country for the
powers at war with Germany.
News Reaches Wall Street
Except for the fact that Mr.. Nor
gan had been shot, such members of
the Morgan firm as were in town were
without details of the shooting near
ly two hours after the time it was
said to have occurred. The rumor of
the shooting reached Wall street soon
after the opening of the stock market
and was current on the floor of the
New York exchange before it reached
the office of j. P. Morgan & Co.
The market. which opened irregu-
larly, shaded point on the rumor and
remained practically stationery after
the news was confirmed.
The only partners in the firm of
j. P. Morgan & Co. who were in town
to-day, so far as was known were
William Fl. Porter and Mr.. Morrow
w. H. Hamilton, another partner of
the firm, was said to be at his house
near Tuxedo, n. Y. Henry P. Dawson
is in London and Thomas w. Lamont
is on his vacation, somewhere in ore

RUSSIANS WIN
FIRST NAVAL BATTLE

CONTINUED from First Page
official reports agree that the vessel
which met disaster was the Minelayer
Albatross.
The text of the admiralty's report
follows:
Friday morning our cruisers
encountered during a fog two
light cruisers of the enemy and
some torpedoboats on a line par
allel with Oestergarn lighthouse
on the east coast of the island
of Gothland and engaged in bat
tie with them.
A German cruiser at a. m.,
being badly damaged, lowered its
flag and ran ashore. The other
cruiser cruiser and torpedoboats
retired.
At 10 a. m. our squadron en-
countered the armored cruiser
Room, one light cruiser, and one
torpedoboat. The battle was re-
newed.
At 1890 a. m. the enemy began
to retire southwards. During his
retreat the enemy, who had now
been joined by another light
cruiser, was attacked by our
cruisers. The enemy's warshipG
" then fled hurriedly and the pur-
suit ceased at 1l.3U a. m.
After the battle our squadron
was unsuccessfully attacked by
submarines. The damage inf1ict-
ed upon our cruisers was insignifi-
can't"
Unofficial dispatches says the vessel
was the minelayer Albatross and add
that the Russians finally retired be-
cause of the numerical superiority of
the German fleet.
Other naval activities. include the
of the three Turkish mar
chantmen by Russian submarine in
the Black Sea and the torpedooing of
the Belgian steamer Boduognat by a
German undersea boat.
German Ships Sunk
The submarines of the entente allies
had their innings yesterday. From
Athens 1t is reported that a Turkish
troop ship was sunk in the Sea of
Marmora by British submarine,
while Petrogr-d claims that a Rus
sian submarine obtained heavy bag
of merchant ships in the Black Sea.
London again has been encourag-
ed by the report from Gen. Sir Ian
commander-in-ch of the
British land forces operating against
the Dardanelles, stating that the
French troops also have advanced
until the Anglo-French line on the
Gallipoli peninsula is almost straight.
This report is countered, however, by
the claim from Constantinople that the
British were forced back into their
original positions.
Activity along the western front
again has subsided with q check to the
latest strong German attack made by
the forces under the German crown
prince in the Argonne.
The Austro-German armies are
steadily advancing on the
east front with Field Marshal Won
drawing near to Lublin,
which might be termed one of the
outlying defenses of Warsaw.

arrived shortly after the explosion had
occurred and conducted a hasty inves-
tigation. They We're unable to deter
mine the cause of the explosion.
The police were instructed not to
admit any one into the building and
search was made, but no one of a
suspicious character was found.
Mr.. Woods declared that If an ex-
plosive substance of any kind had
been placed in the room, the guilty
party evidently had not intended any
great damage to the building. If
bomb it was not big enough to dam
age the construction of the capitol.
Mr.. Woods asserted that If it proves
to- have been a bomb, it was placed
by some crank who wished to create
sensation.
May BE Kick on Policy
Some officials of the Capitol eX-
pressed the opinion that the explosion
might have been perpetrated by some
one as a protest against the policies of
the American government.
Superintendent Woods ordered that
an investigation be undertaken to-day
| by an expert on explosives. Pending
the report of the expert, no official
statement concerning the incident will
be made public.
After hurried examination Mr..
| Woods estimated that the damage
would not exceed 5000. 1t was be-
| lieved, however, that a complete in
vestigation will show the damage to
be much greater.
| Crowds made their way early to-
day to Capitol Hill in the hope of see
ing the wrecked portion of the majes-
tic building. They were doomed to
disappointment, however, because the
bog doors to the building were closed
to visitors pending the inquiry into the
cause of the explosion.
| The explosion occurred at 11.40 p.
m. and not many persons were aware
of what had happened until to-day.

tangled Mexican situation today by
news that Victoriano Huerta was en-
route from Spain to New York, pre-
sumably with plans in mind for re-
establishing his regime south of the
Rio Grande.
Possibility that first chief and
convention leader will temporarily
bury hatchet to resist Huerta if he at
tempts again to control Mexican gov

Reports reach Washington from
Vera Cruz that Obregon, Carranza's
right-hand man, had administered a
severe defeat to Villa forces near Ira
quato.
War dept expected to take official
cognizance of reports from Browns
