W. A. Smith, Builder, Voices Approval of
 Proposed Ordinance

W. A. Smith, of 18S Cannon street, one of the largest builders of homes in the city expressed himself today as very much in favor of the proposed ordinance requiring fire proof walls, roofs. and statrways in three story tenement houses. According to MT. Smith the ordinance is weak only in that it does not go far enough The city needs on entire new building code. There are other evils beside the frame three decker to be rem edied, but the proposed ordinance is a step in the right direction and is being pushed now because some time must elapse before the larger code can be put in shape for passage.
 we must either eliminate the three decker,s' MT. Smith said, sTor make 1t safe He thinks 1t would be well + fire proof roofs were re- quired on all buildings Certainly they should be required on the three story tenemeIts which experience proves to be more subject to fires, partly because they are likely to be built closer together.
 MT. Smith described three single family houses which he built some time ago. They were simply and plainly built. but had cellars. a small furnace and four or five rooms each. They were on fifty foot lots and rented for SIS and s15 each per month. These houses could be duplicated by thousands,' 2 he said.

 RED BOOK ON ITALY

Berlin. July 15Among the news items prepared by the Overseas Agency day for transInission abroad by wireless telegraphy was the fol- lowing.
 The Austro-Hungaria govern ment has published a red book deal ing with the preparedness of Italy for war. IL shows that the Italian gov- ernment received incorrect inforn1a- ton from it's diplomats who under estimated the preparedness of Austria. The documents have to do with the years 1909 until 1911 and prove the alleged violation of the triple a11i- ance was approved by Italy.

ACTIVITY OF BRITISH

 BY GREAT COAL STRIKE
More Than 15OOOO Welsh Miners Are Out and Trouble is
 Growing -steaming Goal For BattIeships Supplied From Shafts Which Are Closed By Big Labor War.

London, July 15-Out of the vari- ous manifestations of unrest in the British labor field shown since the outbreak of the war there developed today what may prove, unless an early solution is found, one of the most serious strikes in the history of the country.
 More than 15o,0oo men already have laid down their tools, thereby shutting down virtually all the mines in the Welsh coal felds,1 which supply 'steaning coal for the British navy
 The government, for the first time used the authority granted by the soca1led munitions measure, ruled that the miners must not strike and 8 royal proclamation to this effect was issued yesterday. The miners answer to this proclamation was to go on strike.
 Though subjected to a heavy daily fine for striking and though urged by their leaders to allow their demands for higher pay to be arbitrated, the miners threw aside all advice and to- day refused to take up their picks. thus not only stopping the mines but leaving idle the mine railways and some ships engaged in coal trans port
 Theoretically, the government is

 Sheriff Grifenhagen was beginning to show a bit of relief now that he knew he had Thaw safely started to- ward the Sheriff's office in the Epni- grant Industrial Savings Bank Build ing across the street But everybody else in the cane rush still was excft- ed. from the cheering crowds and the overworked moving picture men down to, or up to, East Side Wireless Louis zeltner, who lead the way and was trying to clear passage for Thaw- Looie is also a deputy sheriff with voice and arm waves.
 Policemen at the entrance to. the Firnfgrahf Industrial Savings Bank Building had to do about everything except swing their clubs in order to keep the crowd from fighting it's way into the building and escorting Thaw to and into the elevator on the way up to Sheriff Grife1a11agen's suite or offices Only the reporters who had been in daily attendance at the hear ling, however, were permitted to go in to the building while Thaw was waiting for the elevator.
 After the jurors had shaken them selves free from the crowd it was learned they took two ballots before reaching their decision On the first ballot No. II, Charles A. Basil, held out, but only for the purpose, 1t was learned later, of insuring full dis cusston of the case
 We were practically unani1nous from the drst.s' said Foreman David Robinson. .sNye took one ballot and then after some discussion took the other, which was unanimous in favor of Thaw.s
 Paul J. Marks, a brother of Bor- ough President Marks, who was No 5 in the box said:
 we were of the opinion that T1haw suffered from sickness which made 31iTrl mentally weak and eccentric at times, and that caused him to kill White We believe he sti11 suffers from his sickness, though not as bad as he; did We do not think he will ever do anything that will make him dangerous to the community-'s
 Thaw, confident of hss ultimate freedom, last night outlined his plans for the future. First, he will go to Pittsburgh to visit his family then to the Panama Pacific Exp position, and finally he will settle down in busi- ness In his native city.
