OPPOSING COUNSEL
 ARGUES OTHERWISE
Technical Testimony Review ed; Commander and Crew of III Fated Undersea Craft Praised for Conduct.

NEW YORK. Feb. lO.-RespOnsibil- ity for the explosion of the submarine E-2 which resulted in five deaths was placed upon the Edison Storage Bat tery Company by Lieutenant Niemetz. counsel for Lieutenant Cooke. com mander of the vessel, who summed up the evidence before naval court of inquiry. Commander McGrann of the United States army. who represented the Edison interests. declared on the contrary that they could not be at fault.
 Niemetz contended that the storage battery from which it has been assert .ed hydrogen gas was escaping prior 10 the explosion. was installed abso- mtely according to the directions of the manufacturers, as was the venti- lato- system. He asserted that in- structions for car operations of the battery were incomplete regarding ven tilatiOn.

In closing Niemetz ccntended the conduct of the commander and crew prior to the ac- cident was exceptionally commenda- ble" because they made every effort to familiarize themselves with the new battery and safeguard against ac- cidents.

Bisbee daily review., 1916-02-11

It is known that one of Garrison's reasons for his conviction that only a federal continental army, instead of a reorganized militia would be the main military dependence of the na- tion was the belief United States might be called to defend the Monroe Doctrine. In that event he foresaw that the militia might not be. available to use outside of the United States before the declaration of war
 Correspondence between Garrison and the President discloses the Presi- dent believes the training of an organ iZation to control the military re- serve should be under immediate fed eral direction. but the President is not 'irrevocably or dogmatically com mitted to any one plan"
 The President wrote Garrison he could not force any specific plan on Congress. Garrison's contentious that only the plans of the War De- partment could be considered seemed to the President wholly unjustifiable" |" The resignation stated: Tt is evident we disagree hopelessly upon what consider fundamental principles" |" Garrison characterized the granting of conditional independence to the Philippines within four years as an abandonment of the duty of the na- tion and breach of trust for the Phil ippinos."
 The Presidetn replied that in his judgment. the Clarke Philippine amendment was "unwise at this time '' He added: Tt is clearly most mad visable for me to take the position that I must dissent from action should both houses concur in the bill, em- bodying the amendment"
 The President said he must with hold judgment until final action was before him in definite form Upon the contention, on one hand, that the Continental army or ultimately uni versal service was the nations, only reliance. and the position, on the other. that not one plan could be en- forced upon Congress. the President and Garrison parted official company.
 Garrison's resignation was a com plete surprise in official quarters Prior to the official announcement Garrison boarded a train with his wife for New York for an indefinite stay
 The acute differences which led to the break began early in the year when opposition to the Continental army plan developed in Congress. There have been indefinite rumors of the possibility of his resignation. It was never countenanced in official quarters. Garrison was everywhere regarded as one of the strong men of teh Administration and upon whom the President leaned in difficult situa- tions. either domestic or international which marked the Administration.

ITALIANS TO SWEEP CARSO
PLATEAU FREE OF AUSTRIANS
BEFORE MARCH UPON TRIESTE

ROME, Aug 1S.-The Italian army Is
being held back on the lower Isonzo until
the line on the upper Isonzo can be straight
ened by the capture of the mountains of
San Gabrielle, San Marco and other posi-
tions lying between Tolmino and Gorizia.
While the capture OF these mountains is
regarded as imminent, there probably will
be no advance upon Trieste until they have
been taken.
The Austrians are being forced of the
Carso plateau before spirited attacks OF the
italian troops Fierce fighting for the
heavy guns which have been barring the
way 20 Trieste Is in progress These guns
frequently are emplaced in caverns on the
mountainside.
In taking Sainte Grado on Monday the
Italians offered TO let one of the gun crews
surrender, but its members iourished a
mandolin in derision. the Austrians often
calling the Italians merely mandolin play
srs. The Italian infantry bayonetted the
whole gun crew.
Today's War Office statement says:
On the lower Isonzo our artillery
and trench mortars were active.
We repulsed an attack on the Carso,
taking 100 prisoners. In the Tolmino
area our batteries shelled the Santa
Lucia station. where train movements
were reported.

FRANKENFTELD'S DEATH
UNSOLVED AT INQUEST
Coroner's Jury Brings in open"
Verdict in Strange Case OF
Insurance Man

six Jurors who conducted the inquest to-
dav into the death of Harry Frankenfeld,
the insurance man who lost his lire IN
mysterious circumstances on August lo'
at the suggestion of Coroner Knight, re-
turned an open" verdict of death from
a fractured skull and chest, without decld-
ing how the injuries were received AS the
matter now stands, no responsibility for his
death has been determined under the law
and at any time the case can be reopened
and additional arrests can be made.
The three women arrested in the case as
witnesses were discharged by the Coroner
but instructed to remain In Philadelphia
and keep in contact with the police until the
mystery is cleared They are Mrs. May
Steigerwald, Ada Gordon and Evelyn Young.
Mrs. Stelgerwald is the proprietress of the
house at Sixteenth and Wallace streets, In
front of which che man was found dying.
The other women we're in the house.
Frankenhed was 81 years old and lived
in an apartment house at the southwest
corner of Eighteenth and Diamond streets.
He died In St Joseph's Hospital, after he
was found with his skull fractured and
suffering other bodily injuries. Various
theories have been advanced in an attempt
to explain the mans death.
One explanation was that he had been
hit by a motorcar. another that he had been
murdered, and the belief existed among
some members of the Detective Bureau that
he had fallen out of the window of the
house on the pavement Of which he was
found in n dying condition According to
DR.. w. S. Wadsworth. Coroner's physician,
who examined the body and appeared as a
witness in the inquest today his injuries
seemed to have been too severe to have
been inflicted by fall.
