ITALY'S GREENBOOK
BLAMES AUSTRIA FOR
BREAK IN ALLIANCE
From Ultimatum to Servia,
Without Consulting
Italy, to Delay in Reply
ing to Rome's Notes Each
Move Is Shown.
HOME, May SO.
Though cffortB were mado to keep se
cret tho contents of the Green Hook,
which the Government had prepared for
Parliament to tot forth the negotiations
with Austria, prnctlcalb all Its contents
weio known when I'aillament met
The Green Hook states that Italy re
mained faithful to the Triple Alliance
poet, but declines that In tho summer of
1011 Austria, without accord with Itnb,
without giving the latter country tho
slightest Information nnd without heed
ing Italy's ndvlco of moderation, sent nn
ultimatum to Servia that caused tho
present war
"Thus Austria," tho Green Book as
serts, "broke the Balkan Btntu quo, cre
ating a bltuatlon profitable only to her
self. Notwithstanding this, Itnly for sev
eral months endeavored to resume friend
ly relations with Austria, but the efforts
foiled."
The Green Book opens with Union
Sonnlno's telegram, dated December 9,
Inviting the Duke d'Avarna, Italian Am
bassador to Austria, to inform Count
Hcrchtold that the Austilan ndvanco Into
Servia wns covered by article 7 of the
Triple Alliance pact. Austria's reply to
these representations wns negative.
On December 20 Austria began chang
ing her Government, Baron Burlan suc
ceeding Count Berchtold, the Austrian
Koiclgn Minister and Premier.
Two monthR rater, on February 22. tho
Duke d'Avarna telegraphed to Home:
USELESS TO NEGOTIATE.
"It Is useless to deal with the Austrian
Foreign Office, ns Austria Is not Inclined
to concede."
It was not until Match 9 that the
Burlnn ministry consented to negotiate
with Italy relative to compensation, con
tinues the "green book."
Baron Sonnlno then named Italy's
terms. Tho reply was that Austria was
opposed to the immediate occupation of
the territory In question. '
Prince von Buelow, the German Am
bassador to Italy, then became a leading
factor In the negotiations, giving Itnly
assurances on March 20 Uiat Germany
would guarantee tho expectation of an
agreement nt the end of the war.
Aa tho result of tho turn of affairs.
Baron Sonnlno managed to reopen tho
negotiations provided by Ambassador
Buelow mado concrete offers to Italy.
Offers were mado to which Baron Burlan
became ery Insistent that Italy should
subscribe at once. On March 25 tho Duke
d'Avarna, In reporting to the Italian For
eign Ofllce, said that the Austrian Gov
ernment was "keeping him very busy."
IMPOSED CONDITIONS.
The chief features of the first condi
tions Imposed upon Italy were tho fol
lowing: 1 Benevolent economical and political
neutrality during the war.
2 Freedom ot action for Austria In the
Balkans.
S Italy to ronounco any further com
pensation. 4 Continuation of the Austro-ltallan
accord concerning Albania.
On April 2 Baron Burlan made to Ituly
the offer of a grant of territory In the
Lake Garcia district as far h Lavls.
Counter-proposals were made on April

Mr. Jebb Insisted todny that Long died
ns a rexult of heart failure. Ho wns pre
pared to go Into details concerning tho
biv's death, but positively refused to re
veal tho n.-rmo of tho other boy In tho
case.
REFUSES TO GIVK NAME.
"I won't tell you the namo of tho boy
with whom Long had a fight," said Mr.
Jebb. "If you are anxious In get his
name go nnd ask tho authorities. The
dead boy for a long while had a weak
heart. There Is nothing strange about
his death. 1 nsuuio you that there Is
no mystery attached to his death. Hl
death occurred after he had reached his
dormitory. Ho had some words with An
other Inmate, who later struck him n
blow In the stomach. However, tho blow
which wns struck had nothing to do with
UiIh death "
"vny uon t you give mo namo ol
the boy who struck the blow'"
"Because I don't believe this Is tho
proper time to do so."
"When, in jour opinion, will tho proper
time bo to make public tho name of the
boy who otruck Long?"
"I don't know. I wpn't give his name,
because l don't think it would bo fair
to the boy's parents."
Mr. Jebb was asked concerning the
reports that discipline did not exist nt
the Glen Mills School. Mr. Jebb denied
the report. He said that everything
among tho Inmates and officers was
harmonious.
The usual secrecy for which tho Glen
Mills. School Is famous when it comes to
discussing certain cases In the news
pnpctfl was not vlslblo today when a re
porter uf the Evening LEDann Inter

he believed In publicity. He also said
that at tho next meeting ho would urge
that newspapers In Philadelphia bo glen
information when they apply for It.
DIED AFTEP. BLOW.
According to Mr. Hayes, Long died last
Sunday night. Tho report ns sent In by
Mr. Jebb shows that tho boy had a quar
icl with William Klrchman, 15 years old,
whoso parents reside In Reading. The
Klrchman boy, according to the report
submitted by the acting superintendent,
shows that he struck Long, who later
fell to the floor nnd died a few minutes
later. C
Dr. I. 1. P. Holllngsworth, who Is de
tailed to the Glen Mills School, was sum
moned. He said the boy had died almost
Instantly. The autopsy waa performed by
the Coroner's physician, Dr. If. F. Taylor,
of Ridley Park. Doctor Taylor today
made the following statement:
"The boy's death was caused through
a wenk heart. The boy at one time hail
also been a user of cocaine. He was
struck ablow In the abdomen. The blow
struck was a sort of a solar plexus blow,
the kind which 'Bob' Fltzslmons, many
years ago, dealt to Jim Corbett when ho
was champion of the world. I don't be
lieve tho blow had nnythlng to do with
the boy's death."
The Klrchman boj nt the present time
Is under observation District Attorney
John B. Hanum, Jr., of Delawnre County,
who made an Investigation of tho case,
snld today that he did nnttexpect to place
the Klrchman boy under arrest. He said
that his investigation convinced him that
the boy's death was a natural ono.

BAILEY THREATENS TO QUIT
AS RKidS RANK COUNSEL
Rebuke From Bench Offends Lawyer,
But.Court Is Firm.
WASHINGTON, Mny 20. - A rebuke
from Justice. McCoy caused former Sen
ator Joseph W. Bailey, ot counsel for tho
Rlggs National Bank In Its action ngalnBt
Treasury otrlclnls, to threaten to withdraw
fiom the case In tho District Court today,
and precipitated a tonso situation and a
second thrill In the big legal battle. .
Bailey's thieatened withdrawal was the
sudden aftermath ot a statement by Jus
tice McCoy that If the former Senator
repeated a remark which the Court felt
was discourteous, tho Bench would ask
that some other counsel argue tho bank's
case.
"If the Court feels that way," said
Bailey, "I will withdraw tills minute."
Justice McCoy replied that the former
Senator might do as he pleased, but the
Court would not submit to what It con
sidered highly Improper remarks.
Bailey then snld he would argue the
case, "because I owe to my clients a duty
even higher than I owe to myself."
Prior to the dispute the courtroom was
glen a preliminary thrill by a repudia
tion from the bench of an article In tho
New York Trlbuno nnd tho Washington
Post lussertiu that Justice McCoy had
ruled late yesterday that It was bovond
the Comptroller ot'the Currency's prov
ince to assess fines nsalnst a bank for
failure to make special reports.

some men; yet who will
say that Scotch Bobby

any other ten-stone weight
of humanity?
C It is not the cloth alone

any more than it is the

makes the Man.
C No other hand can turn
a Perry lapel as Perry

Perry's can, give the poise
of front and balance of

CT, No other mind but
Perry's has hit the right

Perry fore-shoulder, or the
comfort of a Perry arm
