FORMER FARM HAND
ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
John Geeser Shoots Self in The
Mouth
EXCITEMENT AT GAMBRILL'S
Man, Apparently in Rage, Frightened
Persons Of Community Worked
At Camp Meade

| EAcltement ran high yesterday
| afternoon on the farm of Joseph Kos
koski, near Gambrills, this county,
when John Geeser, former employee
on the place, VINO had been working
recently at Camp Meade, shot himself
in the throat.
| The shooting took place about $50
yards from a tenement house where
Geeser lived. Mrs. Koskoski, who was
alone on the farm, called DIR. Thomas
III. Brayshaw, of Glen Burnie, but in
the meantime word had been received
of the shooting by Mrs. Geeser, 624
South Bond street, Baltimore, and
Deputy Sheriff William Grouse.
When DR. Brayshaw arrived he
found Geeser in the tenant house, he
. having walked there after the bullet
had passed through his mouth and
tongue and lodged in the brain. See
ing that he was powerful man and
not knowing whether he had disposed
of the pistol. DR.. Brayshaw summoned
his chauffeur, Alexander Kess, to ac-
company him Geeser submitted to
treatment, but later, when DR. Bray
shaw told him he would have TO go to
hospital, he declared no one could
take him away.
DR. Brayshaw was about to call the
Deputy Sheriff when Mr. Grouse ar
rived. He said he had heard the
physician was called and, thinking he
would have trouble, hurried to the
farm. After Mrs. koskoski had been
summoned to the tenant house and
told what she knew of the shooting,
DR. Brayshaw's' chauffeur found the
pistol, a coat and hat and cartridges.
Geeser continued his protest against
being taken to the hospital and Sheriff
Grouse had to place handouts on him
before he could be forced to leave.
He was placed in DR.. Brayshaw's au-
tomobile and taken to the University
Hospital He would not make state
ment TO DR.. Brayshaw and at the hos
pital refused to talk.
Besides his wife, Geeser has two
children.

PRESIDENT REJECTS
POPE'S PEACE PLAN
Cannot Trust Germany's Present
Rulers
AUTOcRACY A PERIL
Cermany's People Must Find the Way
Out Secretly Planned to Dominate
World, Wilson Declares

President Wilson's response TO Pope
Benedicts peace proposals is courte-
Gus but firm refusal TO have any deal
ings with the present German auto
cracy. The text of the Presidents an
swer, made public by the State De-
partment last night, contains a scath-
ing, even bitter, indictment of the I'm
perial German Government for crueI-
ty. injustice, dishonesty, a blood
thirsty disregard of human rights.
This power" says the President,
lis not the German people. 1t is the
ruthless master of the German peo-
Pile" Until that power has changed,
until guarantees from Berlin are "ex-
plicity supported by such conclusive
evidence of the will and purpose of
the German people themselves as the
other peoples of the world would be
justified in accepting" the Govern
ment of the United States will enter
into no negotiations for peace.
There is no mistaking the Presi-
dents purpose. Peace at this time is
impossible in his view The President
expresses appreciation of "the dignity
and force of the humane and generous
motives that prompted the Pontiffs
offer, but he views it as a suggestion
that the nations at war return to the
status quo ante bellum, with a settle
ment of many perplexing problems
left to be based on the principle of ar
bitration, and he feels that no salts
factory basis for such a settlement
can be afforded while ii is dependent
on the promises of "an irresponsible
Government"
