(Continued from Page D ceipts totaled $2,39s s,178.75, while the disbursements and obligations amounted to $2,487, ,666.73. This leaves an excess of $89 9,478.19 in dis bursements and obligations over available cash.
 Financial Situation
 Since April 30. however, the city's financial situation has been greatly improved through payment of the first installments of 1889 taxes. Taxes on real and personal prop erty became due and payable May 1.
 AS of April 30, there was $93, 3,796 in reserve for relief purposes, this money to be expended only on rec ommendation of the finance board to the aldermen. Tn addition there was a balance of $S3 3,0804l in the contingency fund.
 Increase in relief cases caused c great drain on welfare department funds. Of $35 ,000 set aside for rent allowances for the entire 12 months of 1889, there was $25.47l expended between Jan. and April 30.
 Food Supply Items
 Tn the food supplies item, which was $75.000 for the year, there were expenditures of $53 ,890.56 in the first third of the year. The item of $55.- 900 set up for care of patients in hospitals was cut almost in half by expenditures of s26.o02.si during the first four months.
 For the whole year an appropria- tinn of sl1,000 for fuel supplies was set up. Between January and April. virtually all this sum was spent, the exact total being ee.e27.7o.

THREE SLAYERS
 PLEAD GUILTY
(Continued on Page 9)

NSOLlCllIucQ Oll EdSC oJ Agnes Mandiuk, and Mrs. Josephine Romualdo.
 Greatest Mass Murder
 Bolber's plea came as authorities began one of the greatest mass mur- der araignments in American crirl- inal history.
 First to be called before the court, Bolber pleaded guilty to the arsenic staying of Romaine Mandiuk, one of the many victims of the fantas- tic ring which murdered for life in surance.
 Bolber pleaded not guilty, how ever, to a second murder indictment charging him with the staying of Rafaele Caruso.
 Eleven other defendants were in- dicted with Bolber.
 Bolber's guilty plea had been ari- ticipated. He was given authorities valuable information in their inves- tigation of the fantastic syndicate.
 Court Room Crowded
 The courtroom of Judge Albert s. c. Millar was crowded as Bolber, wearing a blue suit with a tie to match, was led in.
 Samuel Sortino, 38, pleaded guil- ty to an indictment charging him with murder in connection with Ca- ruso's death. Caruso was black lacked to death and his body thrown in the Schuylkill River.
 David Brandt, former typewriter salesman, pleaded not guilty in a loud, firm voice, to an indictment charging him with murder in con- nection with Mandiuk's death.
 Mandiuk's widow, Agnes, held as an arsenic widow" in a composed voice said I'm not guilty" after Judge Millar read the charge to her. Mrs. Christina Cerrone, Caruso's landlady, also pleaded not guilty.

 "So we sent down a diver with Q new wire line, but he lost his light on the way down and his hand was frozen in the chilly waters. He couldn't feel anything. He was help less. So we had to bring him to the surface.
 "All this time we were in contact with the men inside the bell. They were talking and joking. They cer- tainly were happy and even gave us instructions how they wanted their beefsteak cooked for dinner.
 Then we sent @ second diver down. He got on results.
 "Then we sent 8 third one down and he got his line fouled.
 We had to decompress him on the way up. It took two hours dur ing which we were afraid the bell might crush him to death. Finally, we set the men to pulling up the bell by hand, because in that we could feel the slightest give in the cable and thus preventing break which might have been caused by machine doing the pulling.
 "Then came the delicate feat of balancing the buoyancy of the bell and pulling it from above until 1t reached the surface.
 Was Bad Business
 eyes, 1t was bad business"
 Admiral Cole grinned at the recollection of the incredulously happy faces of the men rescued as they tried to leap from the bell only to find they were too weak to stand. They were thankful for the assis- tance which they .)retended they did not need.

Bergdoll, mistress of the 50-room family mansion in Philadelphia, his German born wife, Berta, and one of his five children pleaded with tears before the military affairs committee yesterday that he be per- mitted to return and "take his medicine"
 Sen. Sherman Minton, D., Ind, was urmoved and said: "He went to Germany when it was agreeable to go there, and now that it's dis agreeable he wants to come back"
 Bergdoll is 45 now, almost gen. eration removed from his youthful escapades of the first speed age," when his red Benz racer, in which he ultimately escaped to Canada, was 8 familiar and disturbing sight along the eastern highways. Then he was a rich mans son-rash, rest less and irresponsible, a symbol of the flaming" spirit with which other American youths went to war. He was a hero on the dirt race tracks, bane to speed cops, an amateur flyer of note.

TRAIN WRECKED NEAR REMINGTON

Sunnyside, L. T., minor head lacera- tions and injured nose.
 Treated At Scene
 Others were treated at the scene or suffered slight bruises and a shaking up.
 The boom was being carried on a special car on an adjoining track and was part of equipment used to lay new rails and for ballasting.
 It overhung the track on which the Washingtonian, which left Hartford at 6:31 a. m. (EDT), was speeding southward.
 The projecting arm sideswiped the engine, two mail cars, a baggage car and two sleepers, tearing large gashes in the side of the cars. Most of the injured, it was understood, occupied the sleepers.
 None of the cars was derailed. The roof of one of the pullman cars was torn off.
 Buffers died enroute to the hos- pital.
 Backed Up To Station
 The train was backed up to the Newington station where iS was to be substituted.
 Engineers of the New Haven Rail- road system, state police and the Public Utilities commission began an immediate investigation to place responsibility for the mishap.
 At the section where the accident occurred there is only a two-trac right of way.
 Ambulances, surgeons and nurses were rushed here from Hartford, five miles away, when news of the wreck was telephoned to the Hart ford railroad offices and state po- lice barracks.
 The Washingtonian was going at such high speed that it travelled nearly half mile before 1t could be stopped after being struck. The locomotive was disabled.
 The boom, it was reported by state police, struck the onrushing train twice. The second time it landed against two coaches at the rear of the train, polling the roof from one.

create new disquiet in Danzig by her well known methods, namely, those she used against Czechoslo- vakia.
 "The world knows these methods, however, and Poland has strong nerves. We will not allow ourselves to be provoked"
 Well informed quarters expressed pleasure at the British decision to enter a three-power pact with Rus sia.
 As the government sought to liqui- date the latest Danzig incidents, no Czechoslovak air force aviators, who fled to Poland before the German occupation, sailed from the Polish port of Gdynia for France in 8 French steamship. All said they intended to enlist in the French air force.

ings for the Falcon were not satis- factory yesterday, but were kept anyhow because of the urgency of the rescue.
 The Falcons position was shifted slightly today 50 1t could work even in the stormiest. of weather.
 To Bring Up Bodies
 "We plan to bring up the bodies first if they are so situated in the submarine that they can be lifted out" Admiral Cole continued as he prepared to return to the Falcon and directed the salvage work.
 "The bell will so down and open the matches and flood doors so that divers can get inside and investi- gate"
 Admiral Cole said he had his town ideas" of what caused the disaster, but felt he would not give them ur- til a board of inquiry takes over the case.
 Admiral Cole revealed that Capt H. R. Greenlee, industrial manager of the Portsmouth navy yard, had been scheduled to board the sub- marine but gave up the idea. Green lees -in-law, ensign Joseph Pat terson, was among the dead.
 Bell Is Repaired
 Portsmouth. N. H., May 25-(UP) The diving bell of the rescue ship Falcon was repaired today and made ready for immediate lowering to the submarine SutIallIs. At 10:50 a. m. (EDT) Rear Ad- miral c. w. Cole, directing salvage operations at the scene, sent the following message to the nevy yard:
 Repairs to rescue chamber com- pleted. Will resume rescue opera tions on after part of Squalus."

accomplished with as little fuss as possible. The patrol boat bearing the men would come quickly to the pier and, almost before the lines were fastened, the gang plank would be lowered and the men taken off.
 All but two of the survivors shuf- fled up the gang plank unaided. Some were in pajamas, some in bathrobes, and some in uniform. All had heavy blankets around their shoulders. They walked with the heavy step of the completely ex- hausted. and their eyes were dull. They greeted their relatives mechan- ically, hugging and kissing them with the wooden movements of men in a trance.
 There was no laughter, no shouts Of greeting.
 The men who had been alone on the bottom of the seq wanted to be alone on land.

smiled and waved his hand at friends. Mrs. NaQuin greeted him with Q kiss.
 Then he accompanied his wife to their automobile and they left, she driving.
 All except one of the eight walked unaided from the patrol boat.
 The exception was Charles s, Kuney, yeoman second class, who was carried in stretcher to an ann- bulance. However, he was believed suffering only from exposure and shock.
 Lieut.. W. T. Doyle, Jr., also was met at the pier by his wife. She, too kissed her husband and then both left in the family automobile.
 One Slight Hope
 The 26 men were in four flooded compartments. There was the slightest possibility that the water had not gone higher than a mans head in one or more and that some- one might still be standing, breath ing fouled air. Naval officers be- lieved, however, that anyone in the commandments would have been crushed by the inrushing water or died of exposure in the 30 degree temperature of the ocean floor, even if there had been enough oxygen to sustain him.
 The diver will settle all doubts by going down in the diving bell in which the 8 men were brought to safety yesterday and last night.
 His will be a perilous job. When the bell is attached to the subma- rine and he opens the hatch leading to a flooded compartment, the water will gush up into the bell and en- gulf him. He will wear light div ing gear, but he will have to fight his way through the flooded com partments.
 Diving operations, directed from the salvage ship Falcon anchored at the scene, were halted for the night when the Bell fouled on one of its guide lines 150 feet below the sur- face and 90 feet above the sunken submarine while 1t was being brought up with the last eight sur vivorS.
 Bell Was Caught
 After having brought up patches of seven, nine and nine men in three descents, the bell was held fast more than half way down for four hours on the fourth trip. The eight sur vivors in it included Lieut.. Oliver F. Naquin, the submarines com- mander, who in the seas tradition had remained to see the last living man of his crew precede him to safety.
 Weary, cold, hungry and haunted by a 40-hour ordeal, these eight men finally were hoisted onto the Falcon at 12:38 a. m. (EDT) today and placed in decompression chambers.
 Ou each of the earlier trips, Lieut.. Naquin had selected the weakest men to go ahead. He had stood in the cold. dim light of the forward torpedo room with his men assem- bled about him every time the div ing bell appeared overhead at the escape hatch. and studying the weary expressions on the shivering mems faces, had pointed to those who appeared to be in worse condi- ton. They obeyed without 8 word, climbed up into the diving bell and soon afterwards were stumbling across the Falcons deck.
 Her0ism of Men

Jus. said that the 299-foot ship lay snugly on the bottom, inclining at an angle of only five or six de- grees. It was pitch dark at that depth. he said, and the water was muddy and very cold.
 The water pressure at 240 feet was l05.6 pounds per square inch, compared with TAT pounds at the surface.
 Attempt Co Raise Ship
 Tn attempting to raise the. sub marine. rescue officials said, the sal- wage workers first will try to close the open induction valve which caused the accident and then force the water from the flooded cham bers by high compression air pipes from the surface. Failing in this, the pontoons used in raising the S-4 and S-51 will be submerged, at tached to the squalus and filled with air. This method was successful in raising both other submarines.
 Rescue and salvage operations were directed by Rear Admiral Cy rus Cole at the scene, and were closely followed in Washington by President Roosevelt and navy head quarters.

Nerves Of Europe
 Soothed, Ruffled
(Continued from Page D

If, as seems assured, the modern triple alliance is completed, and if 1t proves as strong in action as 1t is on paper, the effect on Europe's fu- ture will be of greater importance than any development since the World War.
 Triumvirate Warning
 In undiplomatic terms, it means that Britain, France and Russia publicly declare that any further German Italian expansion by force in Europe will be considered a threat to their safety and, if opposed by the victim of aggression, will be a cause for general war.
 Since Turkey and Russia are close- ly allied, the Turkish forces would be aligned with the so-called se- curity front and since Poland now is engaged in attempt to return double for every Nazi threat or propaganda move in the Danzig area the Warsaw government would also be prepared to fight. So would Rumania unless there is an entirely unexpected development and, in all about 18 nations with 8 total popu- lation of around 300, 900 000 have been more or less lined up by the Brit ish and French, who would expect to have probably 25,000,000 trained men and 15,0o0 airplanes available if war comes this summer.
 Against this formidable array Germany and Itay could muster close to 10,000,000 trained men in Europe with hopes of getting aid from Hungary, possibly from Spain and from Jugoslavia. Their aerial forces might be equal to the security bloc, but their naval strength would be almost insignificant. The odds at the moment are such that -- ii the Soviets are solidly aligned against the totalitarians - tremend- ous pressure will be exerted against any Nazi or Fascist challenge which might touch off the explosion.
 Poland Outspoken
 Warsaw, May 25. - (UP) - Vo- ciferous boos and derisive whistling at pictures of Adolf Hitler and Be- nito Mussolini caused the govern ment to ban the showing of news reels showing the Nazi-Fascist dic- tators, at all Warsaw movie theaters today.
 Feeling against Germany and Italy was mounting as the result of recent incidents at Danzig.
 Newspapers, in long editorials which appeared to have been in- spired, bitterly criticized the Ger man attitude over Danzig incidents. They charged that Germany in its propaganda was trying to convince the world that the Pomorze area, the so-called Polish Corridor, was no longer safe for traffic between Ger many and East Prussia.
 "Only now, it seems, after twenty years, one cannot travel through the area any longer. The more ur- gent German propaganda becomes the more clearly does the world see what is actually happening"
 Polish quarters said that notes by the Danzig Nazi government re- garding the incidents were provoca- tive. The semi-official 1skra News Agency commented:
 Danxig Outside
 "The tone of the last Danzig Dan2ig unfortunately does not share Polands good will and readiness to answer to Polish no:es proves that liquidate misunderstanding as soon as possible.
 "The idea of the maneuver is now clear. Berlin obviously intends to

Spring Brings "LOng Green" to Lucky Someone

The first day of spring means more to certain party at 432 Main street than ideal weather, for this morning the Democrat was recipient of a telegram from the Irish Hospitals stating that the holder of the sweepstakes ticket XC 80240, '432 Main street, is the winner of $500 cash.
 Whether it was North, South, East or West Main street was not divulged in the telegram. Edward D. Morgan, cigar dealer at 432 North Main street, held a sweep stakes ticket, but his was PZ 53935. According to the directory there is no 432 at either South or East Main streets, so someone at that number on West Main street must have the lucky ticket. The ticket was signed Dogs Luck"
 Yesterday ticket signed "Bam- boo Fishing Rod," 154 South Elm street was among those drawn. 1t is believed to be owned by John A. Hennessey, a foreman at the Sco- will Manufacturing Company.
