Her condition Is critical and at Bryn Mawr Hospital fear was expressed for her MceTery. Twenty-five wounds were Inflicted In the chest and neck of Mrs. Brinten. Jehn Mulligan, n butler, who attempted te save Mrs. Brinten, was nlse attacked by the chef, lie plunged the pick into his back and neck. Mulligan was also taken te Bryn Mnwr Hospital. Saknal, apparently horror-stricken by the deed, was found hiding in a elect en the third fleer by the police of Radner Township. After arresting him police fought the fire until the ar rival of the Wayne fire company. The flames were quickly subdued. Saknni is en the verge of collapse, and it was impossible te get any reason for the attack.

He will report daily the truth of the situation as he finds it, and will shed light en the motives that animate and the purposes that control the railroad executives and the leaders of the striking workmen. Colonel McCain's first article appears below. By GEORGE Chicago, July 17. The possible seizure of the railroads by the Fcdcrnl Government and the drafting of railroad empleyes te keep the mails and Inter state commerce moving Is, .under the surface, the question of paramount in terest here, today In the strike situation. It Is accentuated by the fact that railroad executives nrc growing Impa tient. Attempts of Hen W. Heeper, chairman of the United States Laber Beard, te negotiate peace- have failed. In many parts of the country efforts will be made In earnest te break the strike by the employment of new men today. This is expected te precipitate re newed trouble. In every respect this is regarded as one of the crlticnl days of the strike. Doubts Drafting of Workers I had n talk yesterday afternoon nt strike headquarters with .T. F. McGrath, vice president of the shepmen, who Is second In command te It. M. Jewell. Mr. McGrath is a sturdy, smooth shaven man, about forty-five years of age, very reserved in manner. He views the world through big mandarin spec tacles. I asked him about the possibility of the Government taking ever the reads and then drafting the empleyes te main tain nnd operate them. "I think I'd better net comment en that. It's tee serious a prpposltlen. It doesn't seem possible that the Pres ident could druft men for lnber in times of peace. I don't think thnt the draft ing of labor .is n thing thnt this Gov ernment stands for. It Isn't Amer ican." he remarked.

Before it could be con cen con trellul Mr. Hoxworth had lest se much hlced that his life was In danger. lie has rallied somewhat and the doctors hope for his recovery. It may lie necessary, however, te fill his de pleted veins with the bleed of n person in health. Several of his fellow-members of Camden Ledge, Ne. 2!).'l. of which lie is a leader, have volunteered te supply as much bleed as, may he necessary. "1 want the doctors te take mine first." said Mrs. Hoxworth today at the hospital.

"Is there a better chance of Presi dent Harding getting the, shepmen nnd railroad executives together new that Mr. Grablc lias informed the I'rpsltlent as te the number of railroads that have ignored the rulings of the Luber Beard?" I asked Mr. Scott. "The President knew all about these things before Grablc called," was the reply. "These railroad executives of tnc i-.ast arc his friends, particularly rresiuent smith, of the New Yerk Central. I don't knew just bow .well he knows Mr. Atterhury, of the Penn slvanla. lie must have known about these violations, at least if they were called te his attention, as I suppose they were," suid the secretary-trcas urer. "There's been no secret about these things," Mr. Scott went en. "Every body knows hew the Pennsylvania Hail Hail read has defied the Laber Beard." "The railroad clerks organization has entered Inte new contracts with certnln of the reads and will net join In the strike. Is that permissible?" I asked.
