PRINCE DECLARES
j. S.ARMY CAPTAIN
BEAT HIM IN HOME

MERCK, n. Y, Sept. Prince
Ludovic Pignatelli d'Aragon. who ap-
peared a. complainant to prefer
charge Of assault in the third degree
against Capt. Edmond L. Haas. u. S.
A, before Justice Of the Peace Nor
ton in Bellmore. said today that he
will not live at his house on Hemp
stead boulevard with his wife, the
former Miss Ruth Waters, and heiress
to the Jason Waters millions. until
IL matter is settled to his satisfac-
ton. He declared that until he has
had Justice" he will reside in q New
York hotel
The prince says that his wife was
the hostess at q rather gay party
Wednesday evening, at which Captain
Haas, James Ford. and others were
guests. The prince says he objected
to Captain Haas presence. When he
returned home at night he found the
affair in full swing. He demanded
that the affair come to an end and
that all the men guests ,eave the
house instantly. The response-hoots,
jeers, and insults-was enough TO
make him furious.
What followed then was not ex-
planned satisfactorily, but the prince
telephoned for a constable, and when
one arrived Captain Haas and Ford
were pummeling Pignatelli. he says.
He ordered Haas arrested. He did
not press any charges against Ford.
Justice Norton heard the preliminary
testimony, and held Captain Haas in
$500 bail for q hearing on September
~, when the latter entered his plea
Of not guilty.
The prince said that Captain Haas
had dined with the Princess Pignatelli
At Long Beach recently. That is what
incensed him so much. he says, and
he is fully determined to stick 1t out
In the New York hotel until the prin-
cess comes around to his way Of see
ing things.

UTILITIES BOARD
RESTRICTS JITNEY
FARE TO NICKEL

Orders establishing q Scent fare
for jitney cars In the District and
prohibiting their operation in certain
congested streets in the downtown
section were adopted by the Public
Utilities Commission today. After
November 1, the beginning of'the new
license year, the use OF the following
streets for such vehicles now licensed
will not be authorized:
Fourteenth street, from Massachu-
sets to Pennsylvania avenues north
west; Fifteenth street, from New
York to Pennsylvania avenues north
west; New York avenue from Thir-
teenth to Fifteenth streets northwest;
F street, from Seventh to Fifteenth
streets northwest; G street, from Sew
enth to Fifteenth streets northwest,
and Ninth street, from Massachusetts
to Pennsylvania avenues northwest.
Subject To Regulations
JItney cars licensed between now and
November l will not be allowed to
use these streets. Power vehicles
operating over defined routes under
hack licenses will be compelled 20 ob-
tain jitney licenses, and will be sub
ject to the regulations.
The increasing use of the public
Streets" the order states, by motor
vehicles, both for private purpose and
for hire, causing great congestion in
the business area and particularly on
those streets within that area on
which street railway lines are oper-
ated, makes 1t imperatiVely necessary
that vehicles operating over defined
routes be restricted to certain thor
oughfares in that area"
Must Display Cards
The order requires the jitneys to
display a card with the words Fare
5 cents and to indicate on the We
hicle the terminal points OF the
routes.
Following the street railway strike
in March 405 jitney car licenses were
issued by the District license office.
The number in operation now is es-
timated as between fifty and seven
ty-fIve. The commission states that
it has before 1t over forty additional
applications.
The rate OF fare has ranged from
5 to IS cents.

WASHINGTON, March 6-Austrfa
can not give up her right to sink enemy
merchantmen, she declares in her reply
TO the American note received today.
Austria does not, however, include neu-
tral merchant ships under this right
Hence authorities are inclined to believe
she has stretched a point to meet the
American. effort to avoid a break The
government upon reading her reply was
inclined to wait for acts by Austria
Her word indicated a desire to avoid a
break with the United States, even
though she supports the theory Of GER
naany's unlimited submarine warfare
More significant still is the fact that
Austria apparently has no submarines
Of her own wherewith 70 carry out her
threat against enemy merchantmen.
Authorities feel that IN view Of Aus
Jria's e1orts to prevent a break it would
be advisable at this time TO await de-
seIopments 20 see If she carries out
warfare by submarines against vessels
osher than enemy merchantmen.
Anstr5a's reply is FAR less conclusive
than her original note sent shortly after
Gernlauy's decree IN which she upheld
cfeenaIy's intentions. Ths reply is the
most lengthy Diplomatic document re-
cetved at the state department in some
time. It covers about twenty typeyvrit-
ten pages All felt it would serve to
avert break.
