Republican A. p. Leased WIre1

NEW YORK, June 21.-Documen- lary evidence intended to strengthen Jeremiah OBeary's claim that the federal authorities intended to frame him in connection with ac- tivities of enemy agents prior to his flight from justice last month, vas introduced by the defense today at the trial of his brother John J. o'Leary. who is alleged to have aided Tn the escape.
 This evidence was presented at the termination of Jeremiah's two days questioning by his. brothers lawyer. and Earl B. Barnes, assistant dis trict attorney. It consisted of a letter purporting to have been written by Henry A. Wise a New York lawyer. to John J. OLeary. announc- ing his decision to withdraw from Jeremiah O'Learys defense against accusations of publishing seditious magazine articles, because. the letter read. "the officers of our government are SO bitter if I should defend your brother In this case they would prob ably treat mo as they have treated General Wood and refuse to accept my offer of service
 The letter explained that Wise had had military training and that he in- tended to offer his services to the government. He said a commission

 ID MEET ADVANCES
tRepubllcan A. p. Leased Wlrel

WASHINGTON, June 21.-An in- crease of 45 cents a gross ton for iron ore to meet w7~@ and freight rate ad- vances was agreed upon late today by the war industries board, iron ore pro- ducers and representatives of the American Iron and Steel institute. The new price is effective July 1, subject to approval by President Wilson.
 There will be no increase in the price of steel, Chairman Robert Brookins of the price fixing committee of the war industries board said at the conclusion of the conference. Present steel prices, which expire June 30. will be con- tinued.
 The present price for iron ore is s5.05 gross ton, f. O. b. lower lake ports, and the 4j cent increase is based on that figure. No official announcement it is said, will be made. pending its ac- ceptance by President Wilson.
 It is understood the chief factors dis cussed at the conference which contin- ued throughout the day were stimu- lating of ore production, necessity of meeting increased freight rates and the labor situation.

 Again Attack on Plateau
 Hoping to alleviate the situation. the Austrians again have delivered attacks on the Montello plateau. the keystone to the plains. but like pre- vious thrHsts they met with repulse Between the Treviso railroad bridge and the Benson loop, the Italians have pressed back the enemy closer toward the Piave, while at Losson, near the Fossetta canal, the enemy attacks were repulsed. Farther down the stream, a short distance from where it empties into the Adriatic sea, the Italians in a daring assault north of Cortellazzo pierced the enemy front, took 200 prisoners and firmly held their ground against a counter attack.
 Americans Fight in Air
 In the violent air fighting that is in progress all along the front. American aviators have joined the allied airmen and are performing dar- ing feats. Among the enterprises carried out by them has been the bombing of pontoon bridges thrown by the enemy across the Piave.
 Empty stomachs continue to play an important role both with the Austro- Hungarian armies and the peoples inside the dual monarchy. Prisoners taken by the Italians are noticeably ill-.fed troublous times prevail in cities and towns in the empire and kingdom because of lack of food. The people, even officials, are declared to be at their wits end in endeavoring to alleviate the situa. tion. The Hungarian premier is said to have told the parliament that the kingdom has only one- fourth the food necessary to maintain the people in health and that it would be hard to hold out until the new harvest is garnered.
 Western Front Quiet
 Except for the Italian theater, little fighting is in progress. Southwest of Soissons near Faverolles, and a little farther south. near Hautves- nes the French in more of their daily attacks have bettered their po- sitions and taken prisoners from the Germans. In the regions of Arras and Albert the British likewise have made gains and also repulsed German at tacks near Morris, on the Flanders front.
 The German official communication records the repulse of an American attack northwest of Chateau Thierry in the Marne region, and asserts that the Americans suffered heavy losses This probably refers to the fighting of Thursday in the Belleau wood where the Americans advanced theii lines more than a half mile after the enemy had refused to accept the gage of battle.

NEGRO NOT PLACED
 IN SPECIAL DANGER AS GERMANS REPORT
tRepubIlcsn A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, June 21.-Formal denial of reports circulated in this country, presumably by German agents. that negro soldiers with the American expeditionary forces arc be- ing given more dangerous work than the white troops was cabled to the war department today by General Pershine The message said the negroes were in high spirits and that their only com plaint was that they were not given more active service.
 Comments Negro Fighters
 General Pershing said he could not commend too highly the spirit shown among the colored combat troops, who exhibit fine capacity for quick train ing and oagerncss for the most dan- gerous work
 The generals cablegram which was In reply to one of inquiry sent by Sec rctary Baker. said in part;
 Gable from Pershing
 "The stories, probably invented by German agents. that colored soldiers in France are always placed in most dangerous positions and sacrificed to save white soldiers; that when wound I'd they are left on the ground to die without medical attention, etc, are ab- solutely false."
 The message went on to explain that in the four colored combatant regi- ments now in France there have been only 25 deaths and two men wounded severely.
 Are Given War Cross
 "The exploits of two colored infan- trymen some weeks ago in repelling a much larger German patrol. killing and wounding several Germans and win hing the CroiX de Guerre by their gal lantry, has aroused a fine spirit of em- ulation throughout the colored troops all of whom arc looking forward to more active service. Only regret ex- pressed by colored troops is that they are not given more dangerous work to do. They are especially amused at the most dangerous positions. I cannot commend too highly the spirit shown

The White House View

Although President Wilson has so far refrained from taking any part directly in the matter. it was learned tonight that the White House is showing an active interest in the committees deliberations, and some senators believe the opposition of inc members of the shipping board to tho amendment reflects the White House view.
 Senator Thompson conferred with the President late today, but declined to discuss the meeting further than to say that the presidents attitude was unchanged; that, while not op- posed to such legislationg, he did object to it interfering with necessary war legislation.
