ITALY IS EXPECTED
TO PROVIDE SHIPS
FOR PATRIOTS HERE
Downtown Colony Resents
Eeport That Volunteers
From Philadelphia Will
Be Told to Pay for Their
Passage Home.
Italians of Ms- city oxpreMed indigna
tion today thai a fflle report had been
trread o th effect that tho Italian Gov
crnment wna expecting volunteers to en
list tiromptly and pay their own way
home, or at least half of It, that Is, $W.
"Whn the time comes transportation
Kill be provided for Italians here free of
charge."
This was the opinion, expressed with
conviction, by all well-Informed persons
In the downtown Italian quarter. They
Added that It vtat known that the various
consulates In this country had received
no official notice from the Italian Am
bassador to call for recruits, nnd Mint It
was rather early to talk of refusal to
pay for transportation before the mother
country had considered It necessary even
to tell reservists here to hold themsclxcs
in readiness for a call to the colors.
Speaking of colors, there worn plenty
of them In "Llttlo Italy" today. t,n Dandn
Ilossa ill Qrass.ino, that Is to nay, the
Ited Band of Orassano. a musical organi
zation conducted by I,ulgl Lucnntotilo,
played at various street corners.
Tho members of the band wear hrll
Hunt red coats, and tho martial nlra that
were heard wherever the bandsmen ap
peared never failed tn brine together
largo crowds of enthusiastic Italians.
Cnnnonadlng started In Christian street,
near 8th, shortly after noon, nnd cverj
body within a radius of four squares
rushed to the scene. The nlr was full of
gunpowder smoke. There had been half
a doien loud reports, but It was not
cVen a revolver, as It turned out. Some
body had set off a bunch of giant (Ire
crackers outside thi Church of Our Lady
of Good Counsel, whitr tho centenary
of tho least of Our Lady of Convolution
Is being held.
Alfred Perdlla, an editor of L'Oplnlone.
haa returned from Pittsburgh, where he
attended the convention ot the Order of
the Sons of Italy of Pcnnslvanln. Ho
Is secretary of the order. Mr. Perfllla
"?int greatly Incensed at the actions of
?the Pittsburgh police, who seemed to
think that some breach of neutrality was
toeing planned by the order.
The Italian delegates, who came from
nil parts of the State, were nmnzed to
see large squads of police surround the
hall as It they expected n riot. Tho
police department had a hard time apolo
gizing for their Intrusion. Tho delegates
sent a cablegram to tho King of Italy,
declaring that they stood ready "to go
to Italy for the defense of the rights of
the Fathoiland," and n telegram to Pres
ident Wilson Indorsing his attitude toward
Germany.
A complete hospital corps In charge of
Italian physlclnns of this city may be
sent to Italy as the result of n cam
paign for funds which has been begun
by a committee of men prominent In
the Italian quarter downtown. Those
who are prominent In the movement aro

HEAD OF EMPLOYERS HAPS
INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION
-- -
NEW TOnK. May . -"Plainly. In my
opinion, the conduct of the Federal Com
mission on Industrial Relations has been
a failure. ,t doubt very much It Its recom
mendations will merit serious attention."
This statement was made today by
Colonel George W. Pope, In his address
as president of the National Association
of Manufacturers' Associations.
Mr. Pope, after reviewing the creation
of this commission, said:
"It soon became evident that thcro
was an obvious Intent by certain mem
bers of the commission to strengthen the
position of organized labor. The chair
man of the Industrial Commission soon
became conspicuous by unguarded pub
lic statements with respect to certain
matters hardly wlthlH the scope and
Jurisdiction of the commission's work
nnd certainly not within his scope as
chairman."
FIRE AND EXPLOSION
JAR CHESTNUT STREET
Manhole Cover Flung 40 Feet in
Air When P. R. T. Cables Are
Short-circuited Loss $5000.
A manhole cover was hurled 40 feet In
tho air nt the southwest corner of Juni
per nnd Chestnut streets this morning
when the P. II. T. feed cables under tho
street short-circuited.
At the same time a column of flame
shot out of the top of a trolley pole nt
the southeast corner of 13th and Chestnut
streets. An alarm of (Ire was rent In
and many persons In the neighborhood
began to feel that there was an earth
quake In progress, or that a forgotten
olcano under the city had renewed
activity.
The damage to the cablen will require
repairs that will cost JB00O. The system
was damaged at various points along
Juniper, between Chestnut and Market
streets, along Market to 10th and down
10th to Chestnut street.
The manhole cover was seen rising In
the air before the Postal Telegraph Com
pany offices by Charles Stewart, a news
dealer, ot 76fi South Snrtaln street. He
told the policeman, who arrived In time
"to seo the pillar of flame effect at 13th
street. An alarm was sent In nnd a fire
engine nnd a trolley repair wngon nar
towly escaped a collision, but as all tills
was at C.30 o'clock this morning, there
were not many there to enjoy the thrills.
REICHSTAG TO VOTE FUNDS
FOR WAR AGAINST ITALY
Formal Declaration of Hostilities
May Be Made on Friday.
MERLIN. May 25. Tho Reichstag will
meet Friday to. make provision for the
war aBalnst Italy. The formal declara
tion of hostilities piobady will be Issued
on that day, though It Is possible a war
decree may come earlier from the Gov
ernment. No formal declaration Is necessary,
however, to make the situation any
clearer. German troops aro with those of
Austria on the Italian frontier and will
strike with them against Italy.
ONLY SYMPATHY FOR
YOUNG GIRL SLAYER
Continued from Pace One
Coroner's olllce make no attempt to con
ceal their sympathy for her, and when
bIic was removed from a cell In City Hall
tn bo taken to the Philadelphia Hospital,
hundreds lined the corridors nnd ap
proved the sentiment of the elrl's father
when he consoled her with his promise
to "stick to her."
In the obstetric ward of the hospital
Ida Riehl Is busily engaged sewlni; on
little garments In nn endevor to take her
mind off tho tragic days through which
Bhe has Just passed. Hundreds of people
have called at tho hospital In an endeavor
to sen her and express their sympathy,
but the physician In charge has refused
admission to all but her father.
When tho girl arrived yesterday she
was found to be In an exceedingly nerv
ous condition, and It Is feared that she
may become 111 If anythlns further hap
pons to disturb her. She will be kept In
bed until the Inquest on Friday. After
that she may be committed to the hos
pital or to a home. It is considered un
likely that Blio will be sent to Jail to
await trial.
One of tho first women to come forward
was Dr. Charlotte Abbey, supervisor ot
the AVoman'B Directory, 201 West Wash
ington Square, whoaa business Is provid
ing shelter and employment for thou
sands of girls that have made mistakes.
"I don't approve of killing," said Doctor
Abbey Indignantly, "but I think If many
of the girls who are treated as Ida Riehl
has been went after the men as she has
dune, there would be less of that sort of
thing In tho world."
Doctor Abbey stated that ot the numer
ous similar cases which aro brought to
her attention this Is one of the most
pathetic.
WILL, TRY TO FIND HOME.
"I shall try to get the girl In some good
sheltering- home," she continued. "It
would be an unwise thing to put her In
the regular Institution, where there are
wayward Klrls. From what I have read
ot her and have heard I am convinced
that she Is not of the bad sort, and I am
aura that if the DroDer thins Is done by
her now she will come out on top all
right."
Doctor Abbey said that among the well,
known women who had proffered their
help to the girl was Mrs. John Edward
Zimmerman, of De Lancey place.
OUTPOURING OF SYMPATHY,
It Is doubtful If ever before there has
been such a unanimous outpouring of
sympathy In a murder case. Policemen
who arrested Ida expressed their sorrow
for having to make the arrest; detectives
who had to "stand her up" with the regu
lar array of morning- offenders regretted
it, and such remarks as "Be brave, little
girl" and "Don't cry, everyining wm
come out all right," indicated their feel
ings toward her,
The Inquest will be held by Coroner
Knight Friday, and although the girl will
be held undoubtedly to await the action
of the Grand Jury, It Is said that many
Influences are at work to save her from
an Indictment on tho charge of first de
cree murder.
BCOTT TO DEFEND.
John R- K. Scott, it Is said, has been
employed by Charles Riehl, the girl's
father, to defend her.
"All I asked for my girl," said he, "was
decency and justice. It was toy Blrl's In
tention to become a trained nurse, but
when her mother died I asked her to stay
at home and help bring up the little ones.
Sha worked hard day and night In. the
restaurant and was not attracted by any
one iflitll Hauptfuhrer cam along-. Every
one In the neighborhood knew her as a
Kood, quiet, lovable girl The father
seemed willing to do what was right, hut
J think the boy's mother was to blame."
Huptfubrer' funeral wilt be held to
morrow afternoon at 2 o'clock from the
home of hi parents, 2S0O North Lavrente
ROCKEFELLER, JR., MAY
BE TRIED FOR KILLING
Young Magnate Likely to Face
Charge of Responsibility for
Ludlow Massacre.
WASHINGTON. May 23. That revela
tions before the Industrial Rotations
Commission In the last month will lead
to an attempt to put John D. Rocke
feller, Jr., and J. K. Welborn, U. M.
Dowers nnd 15. II. WelUet, of tho
Colorado Fuel and Iron Company, on
trial In Colorado on charge of responsi
bility for the death of one or more of
the victims of the "kudlow massacre"
was reported In tho commission's hear
ing room today
In connection with these reports It was
recalled thnt Rowers, who was the coni
pany'n executive head during the last
Colorndo coal mine strike, himself re
marked on the witness stand Monday
"that the United Mine Workers of
America has as able Inwyern as thcrq
are In Colorado and that If these lawyers
don't demand prosecution of the com
pany heads, whether myself or Mr. Rocke
feller or Mr. Welborn, It's their own
fault."
It was learned today nlso that repre
sentatives of the lawyers referred to
actually had been In the hearing room
tnrougnout the recent swslons in Wash
ington, closely following tho evidence
with a Mew to obtaining- a connecting
chain on which to baso a demand for
criminal proceedings by the Colorado
authorities.
Their theory, It was said, would be tho
samo ns the one on which the John Law
ton prosecution was based that, al
though neither Rockefeller, Rowers,
Welborn nor Weltrel had nnythlnK per
sonally to do with the Ludlow affair
any more than had Lawson with any of
the Colorado kllllngo, they were In
volved. The links tho miners' counsel were said
to be seeking to weld Into their chain
were understood to have been found, In
their opinion, In a telegram Introduced
Monday, In which Rowers notified Rocke
feller that Troop A, held responsible for
the "Ludlow mnssnerc," was to bo form
ed, but that Colorndo would not pay for
It; In n second telegram, lllod nfter the
"mnssacre," In which Rowers told Jtocke
feller of the nlfalr, and In batches of let
ters and telegrams from Rockefeller to
Dowers assuring the latter ot his back
ing In his management of tho Colorado
situation.

art, prominent nntl-suffraglst of Cleve

WALSH CLASHES WITH
KING AND WEINSTOCK
Chairman of Commission in
Heated Repartee With Wit
ness and Colleague.
WASHINGTON, Mny 25.-Chnlrman
Walsh nnd W. L. Mnckcnzln King ngaln
clashed nt today's Inquiry of tho Federal
Commission on Industrial Relations Into
Colorado strike conditions. Commissioner
Wclnstock mixed In tho qunrrcl.
"I've been chnlrmnn of half a dozen
commissions of the kind," King bognn
when Walsh objected to a "rambling" In
his replies to questions.
"And you know, too," Wnlsh returned,
"thnt n commission of this kind has no
power to punish for contempt."
"I think a chairman ought to take tho
position of Judge and not prosecutor,"
King continued.
Walsh added that a Judicial Inquiry Is
moro calculated to cover up things.
Wnlsh then again asked King to tell him
Just what servlco ho had performed for
labor In the United States, when Com
missioner Wclnstock, came to King's res
cut. "May I nsk, Mr. Chairman, "the object
of this lino of questioning?" Welnstock
said.
"You may not," announced Walsh. "I
nin not on tho stand and nm not being
questioned."
King said that he was on tho stand nnd
asked If ho might Inquire tho object.
"No, you may not," said Wnlsh. "Tho
object will bo clear In time."
King went Into his Investigation In Col
orado, but rofused to give tho commission
nny Information ho had gathered. Pre
viously ho hatl told of co-operating with
President Roosevelt In obtnlnlng restric
tive Asiatic Immigration measures.
King said he would like to seo co-operation
between the public and tho Rocke
fellers, and did not think It was helping
public opinion to rouse his nntagonlsm.
King branded ns a "quite miserable
misrepresentation," nn Inference that ho
did not talk to labor lenders when ho
went to Colorado and ndded, "I don't in
tend to allow my testimony to bo per
verted." "I don't earn how Insulting your course
may be," Walsh replied, "I'm going to
quostlon you the way I did your employer,
tho young Mr. Rockefeller."
King denied thnt Rockefeller was his
employer.
