States 60 Guests PAY
own way TO LAUNCHING
Explained To-day How Governor Made
1t Possible for Party of 30 to Go to
Newport News Without Costing
Commonwealth More Than S1,7OO

1t was learned this morning that,
outside of the members of the Legisla-
tive committee and the State officials,
those who went IN the trip 70 see the
launching of the big battleship Penn
sylvania at Newport News to-day as
members of the Pennsylvania party
paid their own expenses.
In sending out his invitations to dis
tinguished guests Governor Brumbaugh,
who has right along assumed an atti-
tude of opposition to any plan of max.
ing the trip costly junket at the
State S expense. conveyed the hint that
an acceptance implied an agreement by
the guest to pay his own expenses, and
the sixty acceptanees meant that the
sixty each paid their $50, the esti-
mated cost of the trip.
This meant saving on the part of
the State OF about 5000, and, as there
was tentative agreement between the
Governor and the clerks of the Senate
and House, out of whose contingent
funds the legislative party's expenses
will be paid, that the cost should not
be more than s1,700, it will be seen
that the sum fixed will about pay the
expenses of the thirty State officials
and committeeman at $50 per head and
leave few hundred over to cover any
extras.
Meals and cigars were provided on
the special train, but it was understood
that the trip on the ears would be a
dry one" and only soft drinks
served.

known farmer and wife, Mr.. and Mrs.
Edward Seyfert, each As years of age,
residing near Joanna, this county, COM
mitted suicide early this morning by
hanging themselves in their barn. Two

The boys arose about o'clock and
went to the barn to perform their

Gossip Says Treasurer
YOUNG WASN'T INVITED
Persons Who Recall Remarks He Made
About DR.. Brumbaugh in Campaign
Speech Hint at Strained Relations
Between the Two

There was gossip on Capitol Hill to.
day as to why State Treasurer Young
did not accompany Governor Brum-
baugh's s personally conducted party to
the launching of the battleship Penn
sylvania at Newport News to-day, and
there were hints dropped that Mr..
Young was not remembered when invi-
tations from the Governor to partici-
pate in the excursion were handed
around.
Some of those who followed last
falls campaign for Governor recalled
that in a speech at Democratic
Washington party meeting in Chestnut
street hall, in this city, Mr.. Young, in
comparing the merits of the two candi-
dates for Governor, made remarks
about DR.. Brumbaugh that were not
very complimentary to the latter.
This speech of Mr.. Young's was
placed in possession of DR.. Brumbaugh,
and it is said that the official relations
of the Governor and State Treasurer
have been, to say the least, strained
and that because of this the State
Treasurer does not form one of the
launching party at Newport News to-
day. Mr.. Young is at his home in
Wellsboro, but is expected here this
evening.
Auditor General Powell, who, like
Mr.. Young, is Bull Mooser, formed
one of the Governor launching party
that left here last night.

Late WAR news summary

The impression was gained in Wash
ington to-day that the United States
probably would protest to Great Brit
ain and her allies against their plan
to stop trade with Germany, as out
lined in the British order in council
yesterday. The administration has had
no time to consider the official text of
the order but President Wilson indi-
Gated informally that the measures
contemplated are displeasing to the
United States.
The claim is made by the French
war ONCE that the Germans have suf-
fered reverses in two sections of the
western front. The British army is said
to have captured st. Eloi and to have
carried new German positions near the
village. In Champagne progress for
the French at two points is reported.

nounces the winning of st. Eloi but

BRITISH sink DRESDEN IN

London, March 16.--The Germaa

and Pacific since last August, was sunk
Sunday by British warships off the
coast of Chile, the Admiralty an
nounced last night The Dresden es-

the Dresden near Juan Fernandez Is

minutes fighting the Dresden hauled
down her colors and displayed the white
flag. She was much damaged and set
on fire, and after she had been burning
for some time her magazine exploded

being landed at Valparaiso. There were
no British casualties and no damage to
the ships. y
The Dresden was the first warship
to hoist the white flag in the present
war. She was a member of the Ger
man squadron which was defeated by
the British squadron off the Falkland
Islands in December, being the only
one of the FIVE German warships to es-
cape. British and japanese warships
have since searched the South Pacific
for her, but the only indication of her
whereabouts was the report of her sink
ing the Conway Castle on February 27
400 miles off the coast of Chile. She
was a sister ship of the famous En-
den, which was sunk off Coeos Island,
in the Indian ocean, by the Australian
cruiser Sydney after an adventurous
career.

british ORDER shutting
OFF trade With Germany
DISPLEASINC TO THE U. S.

Washington, March 16.-President
Wilson to-day declined to discuss with
callers the British order in council shut
ting off trade with Germany because he
had not had opportunity to go over the
official text, but he indicated broadly
that the unofficial outline of its contents
was very displeasing to the United
States government.
Callers asked the President if there
was precedent in law or history for
Great Britain 8 action. The President
began to reply. and then, evidently re.
considering, said he would defer any
expression until officially advised of
the order and until after conferences
with State Department officials.
Discussion among other officials.
however, was taken to indicate that
protest would be made to Great Britain
and her allies The burden of proof.
the United States contends, should be
on the belligerent, whereas Great Brit
ain has transferred it to the neutral
shipper.

half million IN Jewels
IN A Battered SUITCASE
Gems and Robes Tumble Out on Dock
as New York Customs Officials Elk
anime Baggage of Priest Who Fled
From Mexico City
By Associated Press,

New York, March ia king IS
ransom in jewels, blazoned in the royal
eagles of Spain at the time of Charles
V, the most powerful monarch of the
sixteenth century, lies under guard at
the Customs House here awaiting ap-
praisal.
The gems set in gold on white and
purple robes and mounted ON two gold
en- crowns were brought into New York
by Catholic priest, clad in shabby
clothes, who fed from Mexico City a
month ago, made his way to Vera Cruz,
and sailed aboard the steamer Monte
video. The Montevideo reached New
York March 6 with this priest and six
other fugitive priests who had been
banished from Mexico by General Obre-
gon, Carranza s lieutenant at Mexico
City.
AT the depths of the battered suit
ease, the gems and robes were tumbled
out upon the dock for inspection by
the customs authorities. They so daz-
zled the inspectors that they were hast
lily put back into the suitcase. Under
guard they were taken to a safe de-
posit vault where, they were locked up
and special watchmen detailed to, guard
them. Rough estimates placed their
value at from 100000 to 100000.
This rich prize, it is said, lay in the
cathedral of Mexico City, presumably
for centuries, till it slipped through
Carranza s fingers in the fight from
Mexico of the priest who brought it to
America.
Under the law providing for the ad-
mission of antiquities free of duty, it
is possible, it was said at the Customs
House, that the robes and gems would
be admitted without charge.

few 'HARDSCRABBLE' FOLK
Have Lawyers At HEARING
Residents Will Not Be Required to
Give Up Their Homes Until Dam
ages and Benefits Are Ascertained
and All Claims Satisfied

Only few of the "Hardserabhe"
residents whose homes are to be razed
through the opening of North Front
street, from Herr to Calder, have re-
tanned lawyers to protect their inter
ests in the proceedings begun yester-
day to determine the damages they
will be entitled to receive from the
city. When Paul G. Smith, Karl
Steward and James D. SALESMAN, view
ers, held their second meeting this
morning, E. E. Beidleman appeared as
counsel to Mayor Harry J. Berrier
and few others, while W. l.. Loeser
appeared for John Yingst. City Solicit
or Seitz appeared for Harrisburg.
By agreement of the attorneys and
the viewers, Friday, March 26, at 10
a. M, was fixed as the time for the
next hearing. At that time testimony
will be taken with respect to the
values of the properties ON both sides
of Front street in the "Hardserabble -
section. The property owners them
selves, as well as real estate agents,
will be called to tell the viewers what
are the present market values of the
bASo OH thC nCct Slut VI Il6
street and to show how the east side
property values will be increased or
diminished by the improvement.
From that evidence the viewers will
make up their schedule of damages
and benefits, determine what is to be
paid TO those who will lose their
homes and what the residents on the
east side of the street should pay. When
that schedule is compiled the property
owners will be given ten days notice
of the time and place the viewers pro-
pose to exhibit it.
Immediately thereafter the schedule
will be filed with the Prothonotary of
the Dauphin county courts, who will
confirm it temporarily. The report then
Will lie dormant thirty days before it
can be confirmed absolutely. Should
the property owners take exceptions to
the viewers findings the matter will
go into the courts and whatever legal
points may be raised by those taking
exceptions-the court will not consid.
er questions of faet-will be argued
by the attorneys.
The exceptions will act as a bar to
the final confirmation of the viewers ,
report. However if no exceptions are
filed but appeals be taken, the report

Pittsburgh, March 16.-Two men
were seriously injured and two others
narrowly escaped the same fate early
to-day in an accident at the new Will

George Swartz, structural iron work
er, 55 years old, 1914 Berryhill street,
Harrisburg badly crushed from strik-

level.
Fred Pheiffer, Sc, of Chicago, crush
ed in similar fall.
-Four men of riveting crew, all ex-
perieneed structural iron workers, were
on a swinging seaffold on the sixth floor
level of the new steel skyseraper hotel.
4 load of lumber was being elevated
10 the seventh floor level by one of the
cranes when ii struck against the swing
ing seatfolding on which the men stood,
upsetting it and hurting the men off.
Two of the men managed to save
themselves by seizing a beam, which
they caught as they fell. Swartz and
Pheiffer, however, fell to floor level
several stories below, which was board

day and had gone TO work only this
morning, soon after which the accident
occurred.
At the Berryhin street address lives
