AUSTRIAN CONSULS
TO FOLLOW DUMBA
IN ARCHIBALD CASE
Letters Seized by British Reveal
Extent of Abuse of Neu
tral Passport
VON PAPEN TO GO HOME
WASH1NOTOK, Sept. 2i-These results
were probable from the publication to
day from London of letters carried by
Captain James F. J. Archibald, American
correspondent:
rirst Punishment of Archibald for al
leged violation of neutrality or "con
spiracy." Second. Return to Germany of Captain
Frltx von Papen, German military at
tache. Third. Cancellation of the exequatur
and return to Austria of Austrian Consul
General Nuber, of New York.
Fourth. Return to Austria of Austrian
Consul Schwegel, of St Louis.
Fifth, Investigation and possible no
tion against the editor of a Hungarian
newspaper of New York.
Sixth. No action against German Am
bassador Uemstorff.
Only a part of the letters made public
by tho British Government were officially
before the State Department today. The
others are en route on the White Star
liner Cymric, due here Friday. When
these arrive the Administration will be
prepared to proceed.
The letters arc regarded as clinching the
case against Captain Archibald. He has
admitted earning only one letter for
Dumba, which provoked the Austrian en
voy's recall. The fact that he carried
two others for Dumba, one criticising the
President personally and another regard
ing this Government's refusal to put an
embargo on munitions was doomed to
aggravate Archibald's abuse of his Amer
ican passport.
Amhnssador Bernstorfl's letter of In
troduction for Archibald, stating that
Archibald wished "once more to return
to Germany and Avstrla after having
promoted our Interests here In such a
rcntous and successful manner," wan re
garded by ofllclals as evidence of Archi
bald's violation of neutrality. Whether
Archibald was In the pay of the German
and Austrian Governments Is being In
vestigated by the Department of Justice
Officials indicated that no more drastic
action would follow against Dumba be
cause of disclosures In the two new let
ters made public. Dumba's Impending
departure from this country will satisfy
the Administration. Ofllclals pointed out
that the two new letters gave additional
grounds for sustaining the request for
Dumba's recall. While bis description
of President Wilson's temperament as
"self-willed" and his declaration that the
President can "force" the House and
Senate to his will were not regarded as
technical breaches of etiquette by an
AmbaBtador, they have aroused resent
ment. As regards Oerman Military Attache
von Papen, tho Archibald letters show
ho used Archibald both as a carrier of
official and personal papers. The former
Is tho graver offense. In the minds of of
ficials. That his usefulness Is at an end
so far as this Government Is concerned,
and that ho will be withdrawn by Ambas
sador Bernstorff, either with pr without
the suggestion of the State Department
was generally believed certain.
Whether von Papen meant to refer to
all Americans as "Idiotic Yankees" or
only to certain individuals was an ele
ment In von Papen's case. The expres
sion, coming from an accredited diplo
matic representative, was regarded, how
ever, as at least unfortunate.
Revelation that Austrian Consul-General
Nuber has sent an official report to
his Foreign Ofllce by Archibald was re
garded as placing him In the position of
having abused an American passport.
It is thought Nuber's credentials will be
canceled and also those of Consul
Schwegel, who Bent a formal report re
garding the proposed munitions em
bargo. Workman Badly Hurt in Fall
Michael I.lske, a painter employed on
the new Southwark School, at 9th and
Mifflin streets, fell from a scaffold today
to tho ground. His skull was fractured
and he sustained other Injuries which may
prove fatal He was taken to St. Agnes'
Hospital In a passing automobile.
CARLSBAD AND MARIENBAD ARE FINE,
BUT TOWNS UP STATE ARE BETTER
Physicians at Convention Here Sing Praises of Their
Habitats, Which, They Say, Are as Free
From Disease as Utopia
The hundreds of prosperous-looking
physicians who throng the corridors and
reception rooms of the Bcllevuo-Stratford,
where the Medical Society of Pennsylva
nia Is holding Its 65th annual reception,
might lead one to the conclusion that this
la the mpst ui healthy State In the Union,
that sickness is rampant at all times and
that hygiene and sanitation are unknown
quantities In the civic organization of the
State.
But to listen to these same doctors
discourse on the glories of their particular
community, on the healthfulness of the
cities from which they have come. Is to
make one wonder how they manage to
worry along at all, with health conditions
throughout the State being so near per
fection. Visiting physicians from up State vied
with one another In lauding the strides in
hygiene and sanitation that their home
towns have taken In the last few years.
"The new commission form of govern
ment " said Dr. Chas. II. Miner, a
prominent physician of Wllkes-Barre,
"which did away with tne Health Board,
Is a shining example of all that a city
should be. You read of epidemics In other
places, but never there. Furthermore,
the medical inspection In the schools
has been Increased from one Inspector
to five, The only criticism that I have
to make la that our Inspectors should be
paid more. And I think, too, that the
question of establishing a disposal plant
should be agitated. Our Susquehanna
river is the most beautiful In the world,
and If the disposal plant Isn't hurried
along it is in danger of becoming an
open sewer."
In the opinion of Dr, Amerlcus R.
Allen, Carlisle Is the best little town of
its size anywhere.
"Our death rate compares favorably
with any city In the State, Our sewerage
is excellent, water supply good, and
general conditions excellent The people
of Csrllsle are thoroughly alive to the
necessity of modern hygienic measures
and na effort lo maintain a high standard
Is spared'
Carlisle, however, has "nothing on"
Pottsyllle, according to Dr. Oeotge H.
jHalbersiadt, of the mining town.
"We've never had an epidemic in our
town of X.m Inhabitants," he said en
thusiastically, ''and from the looks of
thlflK we're not oeinj- to. We've got the
beet water supply In the world, I reckon.

SEVEN DEAD, SO HURT
IN NEW YORK CAVE-IN
Continued from rare One
Impossible to tell how badly they wero
Injured. At one point six women wore
lifted to tho sidewalk. They appeared to
be only semiconscious, out It was Im
possible to determine the extent of their
Injuries.
Those rescued from tho pit were hur
ried away In ambulances or taken Into
neighboring buildings, so that tho police
could not get collective figures at once.
ENTIRE AVENUE GIVES WAT.
The street car was Jammed with nn
early morning crowd en routo to work.
The entire avenue abovo the subway tube
gave way suddenly and then settled with
a great roar. No trains were operating
in tho wrecked tube at tho tlmo of tho
accident.
"The cave-In extended from one sidcwnlk
to the other. Some of tho persons In the
neighborhood Insisted they heard a muf
fled report Just beforo tho street gavo
way.
The car fell about W feet it Is esti
mated, and debris from tho stdes of tho
cavo-ln poured In upon Its top, almost
completely hiding It from sight
The street car was In the centre of the
block when the cave-In occurred. It sank
slowly. Many women were on tho rear
platform when the street gave way, ac
cording to eyewitnesses, and they made
vain efforts to escape.
Within Jive minutes calls wero sent to
all hospitals In New York to send their
ambulances to the scene. Eleven carry
ing phvslclans made a quick response
Police reserves of fivo precincts were
summoned and every flro station sent
a quota of men to help in the rescue
work. By 8.30 o'clock 200 police had
reached the scene and thrown a cordon
about the entlro block. Nearly 150 fire
men soon arrived and were detailed to
different points by Flro Chief Kcnlon,
who Immediately took charge of opera
tions. Edward C. McCall, chairman of tho
Public Service Commission, hurried to the
scene In a fast automobile and immedi
ately began an ln estimation of the acci
dent. Coroner Fcinberg arrived shortly
afterward, whllo the Injured were still
being carried from tho yawning pit up
lone; flro ladders.
The police were hampered In their work
by the crowd that gathered about the
great cavity, and calls for additional re
serves were sent in. By 10:15 o'clock more
than 10,000 persons, who had learned of
the disaster through newspaper extras,
had gathered and this number was being
augmented continually.
MANY BUILDINGS TOTTERING.
The police soon discovered that every
building on the weBt side of 7th avenue
was In dangci of falling Into the 50-foot
excavation. Officers rushed Into all the
structures to warn the occupants, and
drove out thousands of girls In the fac
tories In that block. From one building
alone 3000 girls rushed Into the street,
many abandoning their wraps and hats
In their terror.
The situation was made more serious
by the bursting of gas mains running
through 7th avenue. Within a few min
utes a huge water main broke, the water
pouring down Into the excavation.
Some of the policemen who carried out
the Injured were weeping.
"Mv God'" exclaimed one. "It Is ter
rible down there. Many of the dead are
excellence of our sanitary conditions
makes us almost a health resort, and the
only criticism that I could possibly make
Is that the agitation for the large sewer
age disposal plant should be quickened.
Our greatest need lies there, and we
should have the plant as soon as pos
sible." Dr. Charles B. Smith, prominent physi
cian of Newtown, had a good word to
say for the Bucks County town.
"The health points o'f Newtown are nil
good," he said. "We have a fine little
place and the only Improvements that I
might suggest could not bo practically
carried out at the present time, and,
therefore, we don't consider them."
With the exception of Its outlying sec
tions, Hazieton, according to Dr. W. A.
Lathrop, superintendent of the State
Hospital, believes that the city la a model
for all others to look upon,
"The main section of the city," he said,
"Is without reproach: drainage Is good,
water good, everything good, but the
outer section need sewerage. That must
be looked after, and will be, too, I am
sure."
At this moment Dr. Henry Lovett, not
willing to see Langhorne overlooked, put
in a word concerning the sanitary ex
cellence of that town.
"It la also the place where Prof. Guy
Walters comes from. Need anything

It was at this point that the meeting

The rescuers were greatly handicapped
In tholr work by the gases and water
from the broken mains. Water began
to fill the excavation, and three engine
companies were called to pump It out
to prevent the drowning of the living
persons Imprisoned far beneath the street
level.
Another section of the new subway,
halt a block from tho section that col
lapsed, began to settle as enormous
crowds gathered. The police rushed the
big throng with their clubs and drove
them out of danger.
Tho rave-In after the accident looked
like a great holo Into which timbers had
been thrown in utter confusion. The
whole underground working had been
braced with clght-by-clvht timbers and
cross-pieces, which gave the whole cave
In the appearance of debris.
Fire companies for several miles around
In the downtown section rushed to tho
scene of the accident. They threw lad
ders clown the steep sides of the cave-In
and carried women passengers, many of
whom had fainted, to the street. Several
persons wero half burled by the collapse
and had to be dug out with shovels.
POLICEMAN AN EYEWITNESS.
Policeman Daniel O'Shea, who was on
duty at 23d street and 7th nvcnuo when
the disaster occurred, gave this version
of It:
"It was Just beforo 8 o'clock when I
heard a loud report and the ground shook
under my feet. I was regulating trafllo
at the time and had my oyo on a car
above 23d street It was filled with men
and working girls and suddenly sank
from view. After turning In an alarm, I
ran to the scene of tho disaster, but
could not get Into tho hole till the fire
men came."
Miss Dorothy Madellna, a nurse cm
ployed by the National Cloak and Suit
Company, was looking out of a window
when tho collapse ocurred.
"I heard a loud explosion," sho said.
"We have heard them for many days,
but this waa greater than usual, though
I thought nothing of It for the Instant.
Then the street opened and seemed to
fall away. tl saw two cars plunge head
on Into tho excavation. Then I fainted
and saw nothing more."
JITNEYMEN TEST
' RIGHTS IN COURT
Operator Submits to Arrest in
Order to Obtain Judicial
Ruling .
A test of -the Jitney ordlnaco was begun
today when Philip Caesar, of 1205 Snyder
avenue, was brought beforo Magistrate
Beaton, at the Central Police Court,
charged with operating ov car without a
license.
Caesar was arrested by Detective Gum
boirow, who has been obtaining evidence
for a week against operators, suspected
of running Jitney cars without a license.
Tho name of Caesar was the first on the
list. He submitted quietly to arrest In
order to have the matter threshed out
Gumborrow said he boarded Caesar's car
and paid a nickel for a, rldo.
Michael Francis Doyle, counsel for the
two Jitneymcn's associations, believes that
thoy have strong enough defense to bring
about discharge In every case where an
arrest Is made on the charge mentioned.
Mr. Doyle said that the action of the
police can have no effect upon the re
quest for an Injunction, and that re
gardlesB of the outcome of today's hear
ing the effort to enjoin the city from
Interfering would be carried out next
Tuesday.
Complaints of Jitney operators, who
were compelled to discontinue their busi
ness on ncount of the alleged unreason
able provisions of Councils' ordinance of
July 2, were heard In Common Pleas
Court yesterday. Judges Audenreld,
Carr nnd Flnletter heard arguments In
the suit of the Union Motor Bus Com
pany asking for an Injunction to stop
tho enforcement of the ordinance.
The hearing was on a demurrer present

MAY ABANDON JUAREZ
Cnrranza's F,oe Believed Unit
ing Army for Final and
Decisive Struggle
EL PASO, Tex., Sept, 22. Reports
that reached here from Carranza
sources today stated that CarranzUta
troops had captured the city of Chi
huahua and that the remnants of
Villa's army wero retreating- to
Juarez.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 22,-The major
portion of Villa's army, numbering 12 or
n trulnloads, has passed through Juares
en route to reinforce General Mnytorena'a
army In Sonora, according to advices re
ceived by the State Department today.
Officials believe that Villa contemplates
abandoning Chihuahua without n strug
glo ond there Is a strong possibility that
ho will evacuate Juarez.
The reported move has puzzled ofllclals
here, as they have been expecting Villa
to make his stand at Chihuahua. How
ever, Maytorena has Just won a decisive
victory over tho Carranzlsta forces at
Santa Barbara, on the Sonora border,
nnd It Is thought that Villa wants to
consolidate his forces to present his en
tlro strength to Obrcgon.
NO DANGER AT EL PASO.
The sending of relnfoi cements to El
Pobo by the United States Government,
armv ofllclals here say, has made Im
possible any attempted reprisals by the
Villa forces.
An appeal from Mrs. E. P. Fuller, dated
at El Paso, was received by the State
Department today for action to obtain
the release of her husband and nn em
ploye named McCabc, who are held for
ransom by Mexican bandits. Mrs. Tuller
says that the men wero tnken from their
ranch near Villa Ahumada, between Chi
huahua and Juarez. An urgent demand
has been sent to Consular Agent Caroth
crs to Insist that Villa obtain the release
of the men.
TOIHinON FALL CONFIRMED.
The Carranzlsta agency today an
nounced that It expected word of the
complete occupation 'of all of the State
of Chihuahua within the next 24 hours.
It has received confirmation of the cap
ture of Torreon by General Obfegon, who
has been in complete possession of the city
and Its defenses for 30 hours. Ho started
a ti)lng column under command of Gen
eral Luis Horrera from Torreon yester
day for Chihuahua city, which Is reported
held only by a small garrison of Vllllstas.
The Carranzlsta agency said Carranza's
entire army Is moving to encircle Villa
and Maytorena, and within a week Villa
will be captured and his force dispersed
or will be a fugitive on American soil.

Search Is being made today for tho

Edith Tatnall, of Haverford, popular
Main Line society girl, who died Md
denly last nlfht at her home as the re
sult of a fractured skull sustained last
Sunday It Is thought she wm thrown
from her bicycle Her injury was not
thought to be serious, and her death was
unexpected.
Main Line society was shocked today
to hear of Miss Tatnall's death. She was
the daughter of Mr. and Mra. James R.
Tatnall, of Mlllbrook avenue, and a nleco
of Henry Tatnall, a vice president of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company. Miss
Tatnall was 23 years old. For years she
hod been a familiar figure at the Merlon
Cricket Club, where she played on the
hockey team, and at Main Lino tennis
tourneys.
The young woman had a motor attached
to her bicycle and last Sundry went out
for a spin on Haverford avenue. Some
hours later she was brought home In an
automobile. The name of the autolst was
not obtained. At the time It was not
thought Miss Ttanall's Injury was seri
ous. She was able to walk to her room,
and she told members of her family that
she had a "slight accident"
Tho next day Miss Tatnall complained
of a pain in the head and Dr. Frederick
Sharpless was summoned. He called In
specialists for consultation and after an
examination they found that the young
woman's skull was fractured. Even then
her Injury was not thought dangerous.
Tho usual treatment was started, but
Miss Tatnall failed to respond.
Late Monday, the young woman be
came unconscious. In spite of the
physicians' efforts she gradually grew
weaker, and, without recovering con
sciousness, died late yesterday. Deputy
Coroner Donnelly, to whom the case was
reported, Is now looking for the autolst
who brought tho young woman home
Sunday afternoon. There Is no other
witness to the accident. It Is believed,
however, that the light machine ridden
by Miss Tatnall struck a stone, throw
ing her over the handlebars on her head.

OFFICERS FALL ASLEEP
Election Officials Wait for
Hours at City Hall
Many
From long before daylight this morning
until after noon today a long line of
election officers, with sealed ballot boxes
and with the large envelopes containing
their reports of the election, stood In line
In the corridors of the City Hall waiting
to make their returns to the County
Commissioners.
The line was so long that many of the
men fell asleep while waiting their turn.
The task of tabulating the votes from the
long and complicated ballots was so great
this year that the men were forced to
work all night and, In many cases, until
this afternoon, without a minute of rest

FORD TO DEVISE NEW

agement of President nnd
Secretary of Navy
When the conference between Ford and
Daniels broke up the Secretary, as
spokesman, said!
"Mr. Ford believes that n, man who
Is opposed to war as much aa ho ought
to fight war as bitterly as possible, but
he Is willing to doall that he can for
the Government in time of need. Because
of that he will try to perfect an engine
which can bo used on our submarines and
aeroplanes and will do away with the
troubles that have hampered their opera
tion in the past I have agreed to fur
nish Mr. Ford with all of tho data we
have showing tho known reasons for en
gine troubles. He will take it with him
and will to to New Tork, where Captain
Grant, commanding the submarines, will
take him Into a submarine and show Just
how they aro operated.
"There It will be possible for him, with
the practical knowledge thus secured, to
digest Intelligently tho material that we
have furnished him."
Ford explained that he was very anx.
lous to do what he could to "show tha
folly of War."
"Thero Is ingenuity enough within the
United States to devise engines of de
struction sufficiently powerful to depop
ulate the enUre rest of tho earth," said
tho Detroltbr. "We all know this, and I
believe that one good way of demonstrat
ing the utter folly of present methods of
warfare Is to develop some of these ideas.
"As a matter of fact I want to say
that anything that can be thought of can
be worked out on a practical basis. One
thing that I want to have tried out is a
plan to operate an aeroplane by elec
tricity and without a pilot If that can
be done, and I am certain that it can,
then the United States will bo able to
provent any landing of any hostile force
anywhere within its borders.
"I abhor war and wont to do my part
to showing how utterly futile it is."
Ford went directly to the White House
from the Navy Department to see the
President. The latter thanked him
warmly for his promise to try to aid the
national defense. Ford explained that he
was very anxious to make his personal
inspection of a submarine, which will
probably include a trip below water as
soon as posslblo and Secretary Daniels
told the President it probably would be
agreed on for tomorrow.
