Was Bulgarian Poisoned
By Rival For Hand of
Pretty Little Foreign Girl?

Whether the sudden death last eve
ming of Bendel Krestoff, a Bulgarian
who boarded at 472 Main street, Steel
ton, was caused by heart trouble or by
some potent poison, is q question
which mystified the authorities and
friends of the dead man this morning.
Krestoff, a husky Bulgar aged 27,
was seemingly in the best of health
when he went to his work at one of
the blast furnaces at the Pennsylvania
Steel plant last evening. While shovel
ing ore into one of the stacks with a
gang of workmen, he suddenly drop
ped his shovel and toppled over
dead.
This morning a party of Bulgarians
from the West Side came into the H.
Wits. Sons undertaking establish
ment where the body was taken to be
prepared for burial and in a vague,
mysterious way, demanded a post
mortem examination. Pressed for
reasons they merely shrugged their
shoulders, shook their heads and said
there be much trouble"
Pressed still harder they are said
TO have declared that Krestoff had a
rival for the affections of a pretty
little foreign girl in the Steelton
colony and insinuated that perhaps
the rival had something to do with
the death.
Coroner Jacob Eckinger, who in
Vestigated the case this morning.
is satisfied. however, that death was
due to heart trouble and declined to
order an autopsy unless the friends
agreed to pay for it.
krestoff is married and has a wife
and child in the old country.

Berlin Expects U. S. to
Issue Merchantmen Warming
By Associated Press

Berlin, via London, Feb. II, $50
a. m.--The Berlin newspapers pub
lish dispatches from the United States
announcing that it is expected that
the Washington administration will
soon issue warning to Americans not
to travel on merchantmen which are
armed.
The newspapers say that this an
nouncement come at n timely moment
to confirm the hopes entertained in
Germany that the new policy enun-
ciated in the German memorandum
which declares that armed merchant
men will be treated by Germany after
February 29 as warships. would be
found to conform to the revised ideas
of the American Department of State
on the conduct of submarine warfare
and hence tend to simplify in the fu-
ture the situation between Germany
and America on this issue. Official
circles felt but little apprehension re-
garding the reception of the memoir
andum by the American government
of the possibility that it would COM
plicate the settlement of the Lusitania
issues.

Washington, Feb. 12.-Diplomatio
representatives of the entente allies
have made oral representations to
Secretary Lansing regarding the AM
erican memorandum to their govern
ments' suggesting the disarming of
merchant ships and suggesting that
armed merchantmen entering Ameri-
can ports might be regarded as war;
ships. Although the State Depart
ment declined to disclose the nature
OF the representations it is believed
secretary Lansing was informed that
the entente governments were unwill-
ing to adopt the suggestion.
Formal replies to the memorandum
are expected. 1t is considered doubt-
full that the exact position of the United
States Will be defined until after they
had been received. The texts of the
notes from Germany and Austria
which have been handed to Ambas-
sadors Gerard and Penfield setting
forth the intention of those govern
ments to treat armed merchant ships
of the allies as warships after the
last of this month also are being
awaited. So far it was said, the re-
presentations of the entente represen-
tatives had to do solely with the Am+
erican memorandum.
high official to-day declared it was
not fair to say at this time that the
views of the United States on armed
merchant vessels were absolutely in
accord with the views of Germany
and Austria. Officials will make no
decision until the official texts have
been received from Berlin and Vienna.
Until they arrive State Department of
ffcials will reserve comment.
There are strong indications, how-
ever, that various high officials cons
slider the position of the central pow
ers we'll founded in view of the
changed conditions of sea warfare.

Equipment to Be Expense
Saved; Engines Scarce

Tests made yesterday of the Pennsy's s

five jitneys can be used in Harrisburg

thirty men at one time.
For some time motive power has
been scarce on the main line of the

it was closely knitted, making it i'm
