The Flaminian had accommodations fot

the boats before the vessel was torpedoed.
Tho Flaminian carried no wireless, and
the first news of the torpedoing was te
celved here when the crew landed todaj.
The Flaminian was attacked about 130
miles south of the spot where the i:idcr
liner Falaba was torpedoed with heavy
loss of life Sunday afternoon. It Is
considered probable here that tho sub
marine that sent the Falnba to the bot
tom, returning to her base thtough the
Kngllsh Channel, encountered the
Flaminian and shot one of her remain
ing torpedoes against the Ellerman
steamship.
Thn Flaminian had Biiccessfullv navi

St. George's Channel before she was at
tacked. The liner settled so quickly after
the torpedo struck her that the sailors
had barely time to take to tho boats.
They abandoned all their belongings.
After being In the small boats for manv
hours the Flamlnlan's sailors were picked
up by the Danish steamer Finlandia,
which landed them nt Holyhead. The
submarine made no attempt to molest
the Finlandia.
The Flaminian Is a 3300-ton liner

ships ply mostly between English and

says that while Italy acknowledged the

that Italy would acquiesce merely lu the
substitution of Slavs for Austrlans on the

powerful suppmt of Russia behind them.
The Glomale d'ltalla adds: "It Is best
clearly to state now that whether Austria

The other two Indictments nre based on
tho alleged piartlee of the inllrnad In not
collecting demurrage on shipments of coal
to Port Richmond, upon which, It Is said,
.demurrage was properly assessable.

Indictments were tetiirtied after a
stubborn fight by the Reading officials.
At tho December term of court Indict
ments were found against the company,
hut these were quashed as a result of
the Insistence by the Reading that the
presence of n stenographer In the Juiy
room was unwarranted. The Government
immediately took steps to obtain new
Indictments, and recnlled the March
Grand July for this purpose.
When this Jury was icconveneil the
Reading challenged Its authoritv on the
ground that it hud been previously dis
charged. This contention, however, was
overruled bv Judge Dickinson, but re
sulted In delalug the Grand Juiv In Its
lnestlgation. When tho Grand Jury
finally took up the consldeintlon of the
I acts last week, several of the Reading
ollielnls, who had been subpoenaed to pro
duce records of the company, appeared
without tile records. The Government
properly Issued subpoenas for several
of the highest executives of the coiu
paii .
Among those who appeared before the
Giaud Jury under subpoena were Presi
dent Voorhees nnd General Solicitor lleeb-
tier. Shortly nfter this step was taken,
thieo large trucks filled with papers and
books nrrlved In the custody of Mr.
Kellerman, assistant to Mr. lleebner. Fol
lowing the arrival of the papets the in
vestigation of the Giand Jury continued
uninterrupted, nnd a ptosecutlon re
peatedly halted by technicalities has again
been hiought to the point of indictment
The original Indictment against the
Reading for not filling Its barge Hue
tariffs contained .0 counts, while the new
indictment charging the granting of con
cessions by failure to collect demurrage
consisted of M counts, today's indictment
contains 51 counts. Tho quashed Indict
ment for failure to observe the demur
rage tnriffs contains 25 counts and the
new indictment for this alleged offense
has 51 counts. v
The company. It appears, has previous
ly had difficulties under tho Interstate
commerce act, owing to Its failure
strictly to observe its tariffs In VJ0t
It waa convicted of granting concessions
to the Bethlehem Steel Company In this
way, and a fine of J10.O0O was then as
sessed against the company.
