New York, July Hilary K.
Thaw, adjudged sane last Wednesday
by a jury, has been given his free

ing the case and then appeared as ex-
pert witnesses in court.
Following his release Thaw motored
to Atlantic City, N. j., where he is

HAS FIGHTING
CHANCE FOR HIS LIFE

MilIedgeville, Ga, July 19.-Leo M.
Frank lies in the Georgia state prison
hospital with what is said was a fight
ing chance for recovery. Physicians
succeeded in stopping the flow of
blood from a jagged wound in his
throat made with a butcher knife in
the hands of William Green, a fellow
convict also serving a life term for
murder. The blow was struck as
Frank slept in his bunk in a dormi-
tory late Saturday night.
An investigation of the attack prob
ably will be conducted by the Georgia
prison commission, the same body
that refused to recommend that
Franks death sentence for the muir
der Of Mary Phagan be committed to
life Imprisonment.
Reports from Atlanta were that
Governor Harris intimated he would
start such an Investigation to ascer-
tain if Green acted entirely Of his own
volition.
Green said, when taken from soli-
tary confinement long enough to be
questioned, hat he planned the at
tack alone and hat no one knew what
he intended to do. He was not COM
m%unicative and gave as his only ex-
use that he thought it should be
done" He said, however, that he re-
GREETED his act.

London, July 2D.-The Morning

With the German Field Marshals

writers of some of the London papers
seem to think that his task is we'll

meeting serious Russian resistance
that more and more the British press
is ~diScounting the fall of the Polish
capital and. while not giving up all
hope Of it's retention, is pointing out
the enormous difficulty the Russian
armies have labored under from the
start by the existence Of such a sa-
llent.
Unable to Straighten Line.
Having been unable to s%traighten
out their line by an advance through
East Prussia in the north and Cali
cia in the south the Russians have
Derpetually faced the pincers of the
Austro-Germans and if these can now
be sufficiently frightened Warsaw must
go and with it the entire line.
According to the latest accounts the
Austro-German forces, advancing from
Przasnysz, were within forty miles of
Warsaw; while to the south Won
Mackensen's center was at certain
points within ten miles of the Lub-
lin-Cholm railroad.
Grand Duke Nicholas has, if unof-
fetal reports are to be relied upon,
brought up vast numbers of troops to
meet the sweep Of the Austro-Ger-
mans, who, however, haxe forced the
Russian front at several points.
In Poland alone it is estimated that
several million men are engaged in
the battle and the opinion is express
ed by military critics that, should the
Russians fail to withstand the pres
sure which is daily being exerted
against Warsaw with greater weight,
they are in a position to withdraw.

Moorhead Voted Dry.

Moorhead Voted Dry.
One industry in Fargo has been
greatly handicapped as a result of
Clay county, Mimi, going dry under
the county option law.
Moorhead, just across the river, has
been the source of the liquor supply
since state prohibition in North Da-
kota. Always at this season of the
year, when the country was flooded
with transients, there were numerous
arrests on the Dakota side of the
river of intoxicated strangers. AS a
rule many of them did o have the
money to pay their fines and were
placed on the street chain gang to
work them out.
The squads were used for cutting
weeds and were frequently detailed
for work in helping to clear away rub
Dish in the city parks. Since Moor
head went dry this source of labor has
been entirely eliminated.
Ordinarily there would be a chain
gang at this season of from ten to
thirty men. The police will be com

TO ANSWER AUSTRIAN NOTE
American Reply May Be Ready in
About Two Weeks.

Washington, July 17.-Within the
next fortnight the United States prob
ably will send its reply to Austria's
contention that the vast shipments Of
war munitions from this country to
the allies is not in consonance with
the definition of neutrality"
The position of the American gov
eminent, as frequently explained at
the state department., is that the traf-
fc in val supplies is legal under all
accepted principles Of international
law and that to prevent such ship
ments to a belligerent able to receive
them actually would be a violation Of
neutrality.

ATTEMPT MADE

Steamer Orduna Is Target for
Two Submarines.
HAS VERY NARROW ESCAPE

About Ten Yards and Many
Shells Pass Overhead.
HAS VERY NARROW ESCAPE

New York, July 1S.-The British
passenger liner Orduna, with 227 pas
sengers aboard, twenty-one of whom
were Americans, was attacked without
warning by a German submarine at
C a. m. July 8, sixteen hours out Of
Liverpool on it's way to New York. An
nouncement of the attack was made
by the ships captain, Thomas Nc
Comb Taylor. and passengers when
the Orduna reached here.
A torpedo was fired at the steamer
and missed it by ten yards. Twenty
minutes later a submarine rose to the
surface, possibly a different subma-
rine from the one that launched the
torpedo, and for half an hour there
after pursued the steamer, firing
shells which whistled over the decks
above the heads of passengers stand,
ing there with their lifebelts on.
Ten minutes before the attack a sail
ing ship with two American flags
painted on its side was seen ahead.
Captain Taylor became suspicious Of
this craft and began m~aneuvering his
ship. Then came the attack, the first
torpedo which whirled through the
water and missed the Orduna's stern
by about ten yards.
Passengers Are Aroused.
Stewards ran below and aroused the
passengers. With clothes hurriedly
donned they made for the upper deck.
There they were assembled near the
bridge. Lifebelts were adjusted and
lifeboats swung out. The crew stood
ready to launch the boats. From a
submarine off the s%tarboard quarter
there came a shell which kicked up a
miniature geyser in the Orduna's
wake. The submarine had the range.
Captain Turner turned the steEn of
the ship toward the assailant and or.
dered full speed ahead. Within from
two to five minutes another shell, this
time passing over the heads of the as
sembled passengers, was fired. AS it
overshot the mark it's landing place
was marked by a rising column of
water.
For about half an hour the subma-
rine pursued the liner. Seven shots
were fired in all.
The Orduna's passengers included
the Baron and Baroness R%osenkrantz,
Lawrence Johnson, Jr., of Philade1-
phia; w. o. Smith of Chicago and F.
NJ. Morz of Winnipeg.
At a meeting Of the passengers
Captain Taylor was praised for his
mastery handling of his vessel.

TWO ROADS TO PAY CLAIMS
Will Refund Money to Ignite Coal
Shippers.

Payment of claims against the sew
eral railroads in the state, growing
out of the Ignite coal rates, recently
declared unconstitutional, is insured
by the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific railroads, which will not con-
test the payments. Other railroads,
however, will oppose payment.
The claims arise out of the fact that
during a portion Of the period that
the state legislative act vas effective
the railroads were charging the full
tariff, and now the shippers, under
the United States supreme court de-
cision, are entitled to recover such
difference.
