The British dreadnought Audacious, one of the newest and most powerful ships in the English navy, has been sunk oft the coast of Ireland, presumably by a mine. If n photograph received today by1 the International News Service Is nuthentlc. The picture shows the Audacious half submerged. Tho photograph also shows the port deck of the dreadnought crowded with sailors, while about her were several small boats from the liner Olympic and two torpedoboats that had been called to the scene to aid in the rescue work. The picture of the stricken dreadnought shows her listing to starboard, with the water almost to her forward deck and her Hern high In tho air. The cssel ap parently had a hole torn In her star board side. News of the disaster to the Audacious Is told In a story by mall from London. It says: "For almost a week Fleet street has known that H. SI. S. Audacious had been In collision with a mine, off the north coast of Ireland. Later the news was spread about that tho survivors from the dreadnought had been picked Up by tho White Star liner Olympic. The Olympic meantime was reported to have put In at Lough Swllly on the northeast coast of Ireland. "Although application was repeatedly made to the censor for confirmation or denial of theBe reports, none was forth coming. On the contrary, the censor pro hibited any mention being made ot the disaster. "The first of tho Olympic's passengers arrived tn London at 6 o'clock this morning (November 4). Announcement had been made yesterday that the pas sengers would arrive on a special train today at Euston station. Newspaper men learned that the passengers had ar rived over various roads at tho stations at various hours. "Two of the passengers were located at the Savoy Hotel. One of them donled that he had been on the Olymplo and the other refused to talk. It Is believed the Ilrltlsh Government Issued Instructions before the passengers were allowed to leave the Olympic nt Belfast to keep secret what they may know of the dis aster, "Charles SI. Schwab, the only pas senger to be allowed to leave the Olympic at Lough-Swilly, admitted today that he had obtained this permission only on the condition that he keep silent, "One report of the affair Is that the Audacious sighted and sank a Swedish steamship laying mines off the north coast of Ireland, The Audacious la said then to have wirelessed the Olympic of the danger, only a moment later herself emphasizing It by coming tn contact with one of the mines. "The explosion is said to have caused her boilers to burst, scalding JiT men, three of them fatally. It Is said the Olympic came up In time to tow the Audacious Into a small harbor on the Irish coast, where she sank In 21-feet of water. It Is believed that the Qovern ntent Is withholding news of the disaster In the hope that before It Is given out efforts now being made to raise the dreadnought will have been successful."'

Mouth Ailment Proves to Be Much-feared Disease. i Anihrux, a disease much dreaded, and one usually fatal, has nguln made its ap pearance i(i Philadelphia, and already has caused the death of n woman. An epi demic, according to physicians, need not be feared. The case was first diagnosed as foot and mouth disease. The victim of the malady Is Miss Isabel Agnes McFadden, 33 years old, 172J North lOlh street. She was taken III last Wednes day and died In agony last night. An nouncement of her death was not made until toda. According to Dr. Joseph Hoffman, 126 West niamoml street, JIIss JleFadden was tho flrbt anthrax victim he has treat ed In 20 years. He Is unnblo to learn how sho contracted the disease. The young woman developed first symp toms on Wednesday when a small pimple appeared on her nose. Nothing serious was suspected until a day later when a second spat developed on her mouth and several others made their appearance on the side of hor fuco. one In her eyo. Luter sho suffered great pain and grow steadily worse until death came. Doctor Hoffman says Sllss SIcFadden was tn no wise associated with any oc cupation through which she was liable to contract anthrax. The disease has Its genesis tn a smalt bacillus usually found In the wool of sheep and the hide of horses and cattle. Sllss SIcFadden was not employed In any factory and spent most of her time at home. He says there is 'no danger from nn epidemic, as the disease lajnfectous and not contagious.

The Amphlon strusk a mine In the North Sea and several hundred of her crew perished. Captain Pta. therefore, owns the distinction of havlitg been in charge of two vessels wrecked by mine already, with the war yet young). but aside from that I do not believe anything will be done, because it Is prac tically Impossible to trace the aliment which caused Sllss McFadden's death." Sllss SIcFadden Is survived by her father and mothers, a younger sister, Mary, and a brother, Samuel. "It is Impossible to say how the woman contracted the disease," said Dr. A, A. Cairns, chief medlcallnspector of the Bureau ot Health. "From what I have learned she had not exposed herself to the only sources of Infection known the hides or wool ot animals who have died of the disease." Anthrax was described by Doctor Cairns as a malignant pustule, much like a car buncle. It Is a rare disease, he said. Since 1905 Philadelphia has averaged only from t to 10 cases a year. "The danger of all epidemic ts remote," continued Doctor Cairns, "because the disease is not transmissible from person to pyson. The only possible way in which a person may become infected Is by handling the hides of catties or the wool ot sheep which have died ot the dli-ease. "Anthrax make Its vay to this coun try In the bides of cattle shipped fronj Europe. Kvery case has been traced to this source. The hides of European cattle who die of the ailment are pro hibited from sa)e In Burope and they aro shipped to. America, bringing with them germa of the -disease."

After providing a sinking fund, depreciation and all other legitimate charges, they will show a profit for 1911 of $100,000. This has been accomplished after reducing rates to per cent, as compared with those prevailing before the civic sys tem was established. The low rotes for electric power have greatly en couraged manufacturing In this city, and have enabled the humblest citizen to have electric light In his home. Qwlng to the low rates, the use of power has Increased In Toronto from 42,500 K. W. In 1910 to 117,000 K. W. this year.

The trend of American municipalities toward public ownership and operation of the utilities plants Is remarkably demonstrated in the conference of SI a yore, city officials, students of mu nicipal economics and corporation officers now In session In Philadelphia, The dominant note In the declarations of virtually every city official speaking before the convention Is emphatlo. de mand for public ownership and operation ot the' utilities. Continuance of private ownership under State regulation Is the policy almost universally advocated by the representatives ot the corporations. Although, one less radical group of of ficials from Pennsylvania cities are ad vocating municipal regulation, home rule for public utility plants, instead of the present State commission control, that, activity la regarded as only a step toward ultimate municipal ownership and adapted to meet present conditions in Pennsylvania.

The curtain rose on the annual football classic between Yale nnd Princeton to day with every one of the 26 entrances to the spacious stadium feeling tho strain of lines of ardent fans slnco noon. In nn almost cloudless sky, the sun shines down. It makes conditions Ideal for the spectators, but a trifle too warm for tho nirnored players. The breezo Is too light to Intcrfeie with the kickers of elthfr side. TALK IS CONFIDENT. Although Princeton men feel that tho chances of tho Orange nnd Black team aro slight, that could never be "detected In the cheers and songs ot encouragement bursting on the air. Tho famous loco motlvo yell rises vigorously and in It a note of challenge Is sent forth. "We hnvc a team that can't bo beat," one of the favorite songs. Is defiant, but tho Yale cohorts do not allow Princeton's army to monopolize the cheering and sing ing. Their struggle for vocal supremacy is worth the price of admission. Princeton smarts under the defeat a,d ministered hist week by Harvard. Her supporters know that their fond hones.' lor a cnampmnsr.ip team were flhnttered. Yale's aggregation, almost half a hun dred strong, dashed from the dugout at X-A'o. They were prevented from beginning immediate practice by the parade of the Princeton students across the field. If required minutes for the procession to puss. Then the Blue players threw around forward passes galore und nttempted drop kicks and punts. It was estimated that the crowd num bered 11,500. The stands in the $300 000 stadium were freighted with wildly enthusiastic folk. Every seat was filled, when the referee's whistle sent the gladiators into action. A panoramic view of the stadium showed a forest of pennants and streamers. The thousands of pretty girls In their won derful and multicolored garments defied description by even the best describers. The Bull-dog eleven loomped up as giants alongside the Tigers. Yale out weighed Princeton a trifle more than 10 pounds to a. man a bulky "edge," but one which did not seem to disturb Prince ton. Princeton, 'twas said, planned to give Itself almost exclusively to an ex hibition of the new stylo game, against which, it was figured, the bulk of Yale would be at a disadvantage. DETAILS OP THE GASIE. A mighty roar swept through the stad ium as Captain Ballln led the Tigers on the field Princeton won the toss and Ballln chose to defend the north goal. Princeton received the kick-off. Con roy's toe sent the pigskin to Trenkman on Princeton's S5-yaid line, where Betts brought him down. Drlggs punted to Tale's 34-yard tine on the second uown. Legore's punt rolled to Princeton's 32 yard line, where Ames fell on tho ball. Drlggs punted Immediately to Legore, who signaled for a fair catch. A Prince ton forward crashed Into him and the Tiger was penalized. It was Yale's ball on Princeton's IS-ynru line. A later pass, with Legore carrying tho ball, was spectacular, but Tlbbot flung him to earth with a vicious tackle before he could gain. A long forward pass grounded, and Princeton got the ball. After falling to gain on two line plunges, Drlggs punted to Legore, who caught the ball on his 22-yard line. He was downed In his tracks. An offside penalty advanced the ball 5 yards. Again Princeton was offside and Yale got'a first down. On the next play Alnesworth smashed through Princeton's right tackle for 36 yards. Knowtes moved the ball 8 yards nearer the goal. Princeton men cannot forget that to day their alma mater meets Tale for the first time In a setting that is in Keeping with the dignity of her athletic traditions. It marks an epoch and from now o'n events will be definitely dated In Princeton history by such expressions as "ao and so" happened two years before we played Tale In the stadium. The betting favors Tale to win at odds of Z to 1. Those are the prevailing odds and much money has been and is being wagered that way. For Tale there la one change In the line-up announced previously. Scoville wilt probably play at (ullback Instead of Knowles. Ollek will start at half for Princeton. Shea wilt take Brown's place at end.

H.-The State Department, through Ambassador Page, is endeavoring to ascertain the exact elt uatlon In regard to the mining of tha orth Sea. which has resulted, practi cally, in closing that body of water to nmtral trade. Until a more definite understanding of the facts Is obtained the TJnltixt Rt.t.. Government does not feel In a position to net on the suggestion made by other neutral Governments, notably Holland, Denmark, Sweden and Norway, that a protest be made to the British Govern ment. The difficulty lies In the fact that the Infromatlon which has so far reached tho State Department does not make It clear whether the mines in the North Sea are German or British mines. The only an nouncements on the subject have come from Great Britain and these have, in seme cases, declared the Germans were responsible for the mine menace and in other cases have not indicated whether oi not British mines were also being laid in iurB wuiers. Consequently the United States Govern ment Is at a loss to select the one to which protest should be made. CRACOW REPORTED TAKEN IUisolaii Embassy at Rome Hears Oallclan. City Has Fallen. LONDON.
