Although yesterdays audience. re-

entertainment, il would be idle to pre-

as some Of Miss CoX's previous bits OF
foolery. The various incidents at

TWO AMERICANS ON
SHIP SUNK BY NINE
Three Killed as Dutch Mail
Steamer Goes Down.

London, July 31.-The Dutch mail
steamer Koningin Wilhelmina, a two
thouSand-ton steamer plying between
Flushing and Sheerness, struck q float
ing mine of the North Hinder Light
ship about o'clock this morning. All
the forty-one passengers she was bring
ink to this country were saved, with
all of the sixty members Of the crew,
except three stokers, who were killed
by the explosion.
Frank w. Mahin, the American Con-
sui at Amsterdam, and his wife, Mrs.
Abbie Mahin, were the only American
passengers on the steamer Koningln
Wilhelmina. Both were saved, but il Is
not known whether by a British de
stroyer. in which case they would land
in England. or by Dutch rescce ships
which are taking shipwrecked passen-
gers back TO Flushing.
The first passengers 10 enter life
boats were rowed TO the lightship, but
on arriving there it was seen that the
KoninCin Wilhelmina remained ahoat,
seemingly justifying the hope that the
thousands Of empty barrels which she
carried would keep her buoyant. The
lifeboats accordingly returned TO the
ship.
The Koningen Wilhelmina, however,
began 10 sink by the head, and soon
disappeared. yhe lifeboats with the
passengers returned to the North Hin
der Lightship, where they were picked
up by a British destroyer, and two
Dutch torpedo boats and two tugs with
doctors. who had been called for by
wireless before the vessel sank.

AUSTRIAN ATTACKS
Assaults in the Adige Valley
Unsuccessful.

Rome, July 31.-The official state
ment given out by the War Office to-
day reads:
an the Adige Valley on the night
of July 80 the enemy attacked our
positions at Castione and Zugna, but
was promptly repulsed. Yesterday the
enemy's artillery was very active
throughout the whole region between
the Adige and Monte Pasubio.
an the Astico Valley our pressure
against Monte Cimone is being con-
tinued. TIE enemy's heavy artillery
Yesterday bombarded Arsiero. Some
damage was done and several persons
were injured. In the Travignolo Val
ley the enemy, after receiving rein
forcements, attacked our new positions
at Avisio three times, but was unsuc-
cessful in each case.
an the brave Valley our artillery
again hit the railway station at
Silian. On the remainder Of the front
there were no developments.
Hostile aircraft harmlessly dropped
bombs en- Ala and Fiera di Primiero."
Vienna, July 31.-The Austrian Off

TRICKS INVADE
SING SING POLLS
Ballot Box Stuffing Is
Charged at Election
in Prison.

Even inside Sing Sing there may be
such a thing as ballot box stufing now
and then. The Inmates Court is going
20 have 20 decide whether one convict
got a vote more than he was entitled 70
in the election held yesterday TO choose
fifty-eight delegates 10 gun the Mutual
Welfare League for the next four
months.
Also charges Of illegal registration
and voting are not unknown in Sing
Sing politics. A case of that nature
also is before the court as result Of
yesterdays balloting. The convict's
vote was challenged on the ground that
he was not in good standing in the
league.
The stufing of the ballot box is
alleged by candidate who was beaten
by one vote. He says the vote that
cost him election was not all that a
Sing Sing vote should be.
F.fty-eight delegates were elected,
who will choose six members OF the
executive committee, which will handle
the leagues affairs for the ensuing
term. A new duty devolving on the
delegates will be the picking OF the
men who constitute the road gang Of
the prison. These men have greater
liberty than any others and are sup
posed to be the most trustworthy mem
bers of the league. But recently two
of them have shaken the dust of

BROKER" ARRESTED AS
CONVICTED JURY BRIBER
John Gallagher, Say Police, Fled
Chicago for Flushing.

Business men and foremost citizens
If Flushing, Long Island, gathered in
the Flushing Court yesterday, looked
with bewildered amazement on William
j. Gallagher. a we'll dressed and pros
porous looking man of sixty-seven, as
he was held for extradition by Magis-
trate Fitch on a warrant charging him
with being a fugitive from justice in
Chicago. They could hardly believe
that the man they had known for years
as a well-to-do Wall Street broker was
really John the Penman," convicted
Chicago jury briber and ballot box
suffer, as the police allege.
Gallagher, it is charged, was con-
victed in Chicago in 1902, in connection
with the bribery Of jury in the Union
Traction Company's transfer cases. 1t
is said he jumped bail pending an APP
peal and that no clew to his where
abouts had been found until recently,
when the police got on his trail through
the Chicago graft trials, in which sew
eral police officials and detectives were
convicted.
For five years. William j. Gallagher
has been respected citizen of Flush
ing. He boarded in handsome private
home in the Ingleside district. Every
