The positions pay s1OO6o a year. Pen
nypacker and Brecht are the only two
Tener appolntees retained.
The political character of the new
commission has created a stir. as many
leaders see in the personnel of the body
a move on the Governors part to bring
about complete harmony in the Republ
can party in Pennsylvania.
1t is a fact, however. and one that
stands out that the appointment of at
least five of the new commissioners is
Very pleasing to the political factions in
different parts of the State.

BAILEY THREATENS TO QUIT
AS RIGGS BANK COUNSEL
Rebuke From Bench Offends Lawyer,
But Court Is Firm.


WASHINGTON. May 90 A rebuke
from Justice Mccoy caused former Sen
ator Joseph w. Bailey, of counsel for the
RIGGS National Bank in It's action against
Treasury officials, to threaten to withdraw
from the case in the District Court today,
and precipitated a tense situation and
second thrill in the big legal battle.
Bailey's threatened withdrawal was the
sudden aftermath of a statement by JUS
tce Mccoy that If the former Senator
repeated a remark which the Court felt
was discourteous. the Bench would ask
that some other counsel argue the banks
case.
IF the Court feels that way" said
Bailey. II will withdraw this minute"
Justice Mccoy replied that the former
Senator might do as he pleased. but the
Court would not submit to what it con-
sidered highly improper remarks.
Bailey then said he would argue the
case, because l owe to my clients duty
even higher than / owe TO myself"
Prior TO the dispute the courtroom was
given a preliminary thrill by a repuda-
tion from the bench of an article In the
New York Tribune and the Washington
Post asserting that Justice Mccoy had
ruled late yesterday that it was beyond
the Comptroller of the Currency's prov
ince to assess fines against a bank for
failure TO make special reports.

ITALY'S GREEN BOOK
BLAMES AUSTRIA FOR
BREAK in ALLIANCE
From Ultimatum to Servia,
w t h out Consulting
Italy, to Delay in Reply
ing to Rome's Notes Each
Move Is Shown.
ROME, MAY ~.

ROME, May ~.
Though efforts were made to keep Sc
cret the contents of the Green Book,
which the Government had prepared for
Parliament to set forth the negotia tions
with Austria, practically all its contents
were known when Parliament met.
The Green Book states that Italy re-
mained faithful to the Triple Alliance
pact, but declares that in the summer of
1911 Austria, without accord with Italy,
without giving the latter country the
slightest information and without heed
ing Italy's advice of moderation, sent an
ultimatum to Servia that caused the
present war.
Thus AUSTRIA" the Green Book as
serts, broke the Balkan statu quo. Gre
ating a situation profitable only to her
self. Notwithstanding this Italy for sew
eral months endeavored to resume friend
ly relations with Austria, but the efforts
failed"
The Green Book opens with Baron
Sonnno's telegram, dated December .,
inviting the Duke d'Avarna, Italian Am
bassador to Austria, to inform Count
Berchtold that the Austrian advance into
Servia was covered by article I of the
Triple Alliance pact. Austrias reply to
these representations was negative.
on December 20 Austria began chang
ing her Government, Baron Burian sue
Foreign Minister and Premier.
Two months later. on February %. the
Duke d'Avarna telegraphed to Rome:
USELESS TO NEGOTIATE.
at is useless to deal with the Austrian
Foreign Office. as Austria is not inclined
to concede."
II was not until March Q that the
Burian ministry consented to negotiate
with Italy relative to compensation, con-
tlnues the green book
Baron Sonnino then named ltaly's
terms. The reply was that Austria was
opposed to the immediate occupation Of
the territory in question.
Prince Won Buelow, the German AM
bassador to Italy, then became leading
factor in the negotiations giving Italy
assurances on March 20 5at Germany
would guarantee the expectation of an
agreement at the end OF the war.
AS the result of the turn of affairs,
Baron Sonnino managed to reopen the
negotiations provided by Ambassador
Buelow made concrete offers to Italy.
Offers were made to which Baron Burian
became very insistent that Italy should
subscribe at once. on March % the Duke
d'Avarna, in reporting to the Italian For
eign Office, said that the Austrian Gov
ernment was keeping him very busy"
IMPOSED CONDITIONS.
The chief features of the first condl-
tions imposed upon Italy were the fol-
lowing:
benevolent economical and political
neutrality during the war.
Freedom of action for Austria in the
Balkans.
3-Italy to renounce any further com
pensation.
4-Continuation of the Austro-Italian
accord concerning Albania.
On April Baron Burian made to Italy
the offer of grant of territory in the
Lake Garda district as far as LAWS.
Counter-proposals were made on April
s by Italy, the Italian Government hav-
ing in the meantime, studied closely the
offers of Austria.

dition to New York.

Jacob Sobel. formerly cloak and suit
manufacturer on Race street near 10th,
successfully cOmbatted his removal to
New York today on a fugitive warrant
charging him with forgery and grand
larceny. Sobel, in resisting extradltion,
appeared before Judge McMichael in the
Court of Quarter Sessions in habeas
corpus proceedings, and was discharged
after he proved by a number OF witnesses
that he had been a resident of this city
for nearly 25 years and not a fugitive
from New York.
II was alleged that Sobel defrauded
New York creditors by misrepresenting
his assets and liabilities. 1t was said
that Sobel set forth in his business state
ment that he was indebted to a New
York bank to the extent of an $4,000 loan
yhen the amount really was $50, ,954
About year ago Sobel who lives on
9th street near Luzerne. with his wife
