The sinking of the Italian cruiser Gari
baldi by an Austrian submarine recalls
to tho minds of Italians the Incidents
Which attended the building of that
cruiser In the early nineties. The first
. cruplser which was to be named "Gari
baldi, after the Italian national hero,
was being built In the shipyards of An
ealdo, nt Samplerdarena, when the Ar
Cntlne Government asked Italy to sell
the ship to the South American repub
lic, which at that time was on the brink
of war with Chill over differences about
the delimitation of the boundaries on tho
, Andes. The Argentine offer was accept
ed, and the Italian Ministry of Marine
ordered another cruiser of the same type,
but improved, to be built at the Orlando
shipyard at Leghorn. Again the Argen
tine Republic orfered to buy this cruiser,
and the offer was again accepted. The
first crulsef of the Garibaldi type sold to
Argentine entered the latter'a navy under
the name of the Italian hero, who also
had fought for the liberty of the South
American republic, but the one built by
Orlando was named San Martin.
A third cruiser of the Garibaldi type,
which was to have the same name, waa
being built In the Orlando shipyard when
It, toor was bought by the Argentine
Government, and named General Bel
Brans. Only upon the fourth trial did the
Italian Government succeed In adding to
It navy a cruiser bearing the name of
Garibaldi, the one which has Just been
sunk, by the Austrlans off the fortined
Dalmatian port of Ragusa.
t The Garibaldi v. as a sister ship of the
Vareae, which Is not unfamiliar to
Phlladelphlans. The Varese waa twice
in this port several years agd. while It
was commanded by the Duke of Abruztl,
then having the rank of captain. Great
crowd visited tne varese while It was
at anchor In the Delaware River at the
Race street pier At that time American
society was stirred by the rumor of the
impending- marriage of the Duke, who la
a first cousin of the King of Italy, to
Mist Katherlne Elklns.

nnd various point In Philadelphia for one
B-cent fare
Tho second agreement provided that
the West Philadelphia nnd West Chester
Company should get a certain part of
Its electric power from the Philadelphia
Rapid Transit Company
The cancellation of the first agreement
will mean either than no surface cars
are run from 69th street to 63d street
or thnt the Philadelphia and West
Chester Company will operate a new
line of cars The cancellation of the
second agreement will mean the outlay
of at least $100,000 by Director Taylor's
company to build additions to Its power
plant at Llanerch
The news of the cancellation of the
agreement was first learned at West
Chester No reason was assslgned for
tho cancellation of the agreement regard
ing the furnishing of electric power, but
It was said that the P R T Company
has decided to stop running cars between
63d and 69th streets because the present
loop Is too small to accommodate the
large near-side cars and no ground can
be obtained for the enlargement of the
loop.
DIIIECTOR TAYLOR'S COMMENT.
Director Taylor, when shown the dis
patch from West Chester, was surprised
mat tne matter had been made public.
When questioned at length upon the rea
sons which might have prompted the P
R T Company for Its action and whether
It n as a matter of petty spite against him
personally the Director made this state
ment:
"On September 22, 1910, the Philadel
phia Rapid Transit Company entered Into
an arrangement with the Philadelphia
and West Chester Traction Company
whereby It was agreed that certain Mar
ket street surface cars should be oper
atedt through from 63d and Marke
streets to 69th street terminal over the
tracks of the Philadelphia nnd West
Chester Traction Company by the P R T.
Co , thereby affording passengers direct
surface communication between 69th
street terminal nnd various points in
Philadelphia for one B-cent fare
"The agreement was for nve years, with
provision for automatic renewal in tho
absence of notice to the contrary on the
part of either company. The, five yean
will expire on September 22, and tha
Philadelphia and West Chester Traction
Company has received notice of Its can.
cellatlon by the Philadelphia Rapid Tran
sit Company."
When Director Taylor's attention was
called to a paragraph In the dispatch
stating "that the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit Company la unable to operate
the large cars on the short line because
they cannot obtain ground for an en
largement of the loop at 69th street," he
replied
"This statement Is absolutely false. The
loop now used by the P, R, T, Company's
surface oara at 69th street was designed
for the express purpose of accommodating
the operation of the new near-side cars
of the P R T Company, and that a
oasual comparison of this loop with other
loops and curves, over which the near
side cars are being constantly operated,
will prove this fact"
POWER FURNISHED AT PROFIT.
When Director Taylor waa asked
Whether the Philadelphia and West Ches
ter Traction Company purchased power
frpm the P. R T Company, he said;
"On September . 1910. an agreement
was made between the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit Company and the Philadelphia
and West Chester Traction Company,
whereunder the P a. T Company agreed
to furnish the Philadelphia and West
Cheater Traction Company with electrical
current fro mlts Kth street substation, at

GERMAN ATTACKS FROM SOUCHEZ
TO VERDUN LINES REPULSED
LONDON, July 19.
That the gravest crisis England has
faced since the war can only be averted
by the Government taking over the South
Wales coal mines was tho growing con
viction today in official circles here,
when tho Cabinet met In special session
to discuss the great coal strike.
Government Investigators believed the
miners will not object seriously to the
temporary nationalization of tho mines
They pointed out that this would remove
the chief bone of contention the belief
on the part of the miners that the own
era are piling up huge fortunes by selling
at "war nrleea " Unless this Is done a
settlement appears remote, the Investiga
tors frankly told President Runolman, of
the Government Board of Trade, today.
In some quarters it was suggested to
day thnt the Government force the mine
owners to grant the full demands of tho
men, pendlngf future negotiations, while
the men return to work Several Cabinet
omclnls, however, rejected this idea on
tho ground that It indicated Governmen
tal weakness
Thousands of miners who spent the
week-end nt seaside resorts, following tho
calling of tho strike, poured Into Cardiff
today, where tho miners' executive coun
cil was meeting Dispatches from Cardiff
said the majority of tho men stood firm
ly behind their leaders In the negotia
tions with the Government
The coal situation is rapidly becoming'
serious, while the South Wales miners
remain Idle The available supplies nre
diminishing rapidly. The rallnajs and
Industrial concerns already have taken
steps to conserve their supplies, and dis
patches from Industrial centres todny said
the productions of war munitions Is
gravely Jeopardized The closing of the
mines cuts off a dally output of hundreds
of thousands of tons.
LEO FRANK CRITICAL;
WOUND IS INFECTED
PARIS, July 19. Violent attneke have

extended front, according to an official
communique Issued by the War Office to
dny. All the attacks were repulsed, how
ever, by the French
The French positions near Souchez, In
the Argonne and In Lorraine were as
saulted by the Germnn Infantry and hard
fighting followed In those quarters.
The communique Indicates that the Ger
mans have renewed their efforts to break

of Verdun
"In Belgium the enemy violently bom
barded our trenches at St. Georges and
the village of Boesenge, where the church
was struck a number of times
"In Artols, along toward midnight, the
Germans attacked our positions west and
southwest of Souchez over a front of 1300
metres, but were repulsed.
"In the Argonne a German attack was
repulsed.
"In the forest of Apremont (near St.
Mlhlel), thero has been a hand-grenade
combat without any charges by the in
fantry. "In Lorraine, at Manhou, on the Scllle
River, and at Llsleres, southeast of tho
forest of Parroy, there has been some
advance post fighting, where we had tho
advantage The night was calm on tho
balance of the front."
Tho following spoclal communique wns

Director Taylor, when asked whether
he considered the cancellation of these
contracts as being In the nature of re
prisals on the part of the Philadelphia
Rapid Transit Company against him
through the Philadelphia and West Ches
ter Traction Company, which he con
trols, replied:
"I don't know and I don't care whethe."
they are or whether they are not."
When asked whether the Philadelphia
and West Chester Traction Company had
replied in any way to the notice of? the
cancellation of the contracts, he said:
"The Philadelphia and West Chester
Traction Company has made no reply,
either verbal or written, to the notices
"The Philadelphia and West Cheater
Traction Company can make Its own
power cheaper than It can buy it from
the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company,
and the discontinuance of operation of
the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Com
pany's surface cars to 69th street ter
minal will subject the publlo to great
Inconvenience."
When asked whether he would en
deavor to seoure any modification of the
notice of cancellation, he replied;
"Owing to my official position as Di
rector of the Department of City Transit,
I shall seek no favors or concessions
from any corporation having business
with the city, or with this department. If
any parties have any legal rights with
respect to the proposed discontinuance of
the operation of the Market street surface
cars to 69th street terminal, these lights
may be asserted In an orderly fashion be
fore the Publlo Service Commission of the
State of Pennsylvania with full pub
licity." The Philadelphia Rapid Transit Com

the matter.

M. Frank hovered between life and death
today
During Sunday night he was but half
conscious and raved frequently of the at
tack on him by his fellow prisoner, Wil
liam Creen
TodiJ', however, his head was clear,
nis wife was at his bedside Doctors J.
W Rosenberg and Compton nnd other
rromlnent Atlanta and Macon physicians
attended him.
The wound In his throat, where Creen
slashed him, showed a slight Infection
from the rusty blade of the knife the
would-be murderer used. The doctors ad
mitted that blood poisoning was what
they feared most. There was danger also
that the patient, who vomits frequently,
would break the stitches In his neck and,
with his Jugular vein partly severed, they
admitted the fresh bleeding almost cer
tainly would kill him quickly.
The physicians complained, too, of the
risk of Infection from other-patients, one
of whom has typhoid Arrangements ate
being made to move Frank from the in
firmary to a private room
Ills hands as well as his throat were
Igashed In his struggle with Creen, but
these wounds are of minor Importance.
They were Inflicted when he selzed's
Creen's knife He was asleep when the
latter, who had obtained permission to
visit the lavatory, stopped In passing1
Frank's bed, and, pressing one foot on
his victim's chest, plunged the weapon
Into his throat
Creen, chained to a concrete poet, re
fused to talk today, except to deny that
he waa Influenced by any one else, and
to aBsert that he had an "Inspiration."
His wife, an employe In a Columbus
(Ga ) lunchroom, asserts that her hus
band has been Insane since childhood,
when he was Injured by a blow on the
head.
Members of the prison commission nlso
Incline to the opinion that Creen is a
maniac.
