EVERY EVENING WILMINGTON, DELAWARE, SATURDAY, AUGUST ttt i-1916. SAULSBURY RECOMMENDS EX-SENATOR RICHARDSON CROWN PRINCE KILLED NOT A BIT, SAYS PARIS PORTUGAL TRAINING ARMY FOR ALLIES BIG ITALIAN LIIIER SUNK BY U-BOAT TODY HAMILTON, PRESS AGENT KING PRESIDENT PUTS R. R. STRIKE UP TO HEADS OF ROADS; MEN "STAND PAT" to the railroads. President Wilw.n in reply urged that the railroad the committer of managers, very carefully consider his plan lefore giving any final answer.

That was agreed to by the railroad executives. It was learned definitely that in their acceptance of President Wilson's plan the employes made no reservation. One of the railroad presidents said after the conference that lie did not consider the situation holens, but that, it was very serious. President Wilson, he Raid, had asked for a "show down" and that the railroad officials would give a final answer as jtossibje. In spite of the tone adopted by some of the railroad officials the belief was current in administration circles that however reluctantly the railroads won hi make some concessions.

After the conference President Wilson telegraphed to a of president of western roods inviting them to come to Washington. warns or prni.rf ownk.rship. According to one report here the President warned the railroad executives at the White House conference yesterday that the country appeared to lie drift ing toward public ownership of railroads, and that he relieved a national railroad strike would aggravate that trend of public opinion. The President also mentioned the fact that when a national railroad strike occurred in France the government called the engineers firemen, conductors and trainmen to the colors and then ordered them as soldiers to run the trains. He said this in advising the mil road presidents to accept, the strike crisis settlement which he had drafted and which was todrry accepted by the four great brother-ho kJs.

The railroad presidents, it is said, were deeply impressed with what some of thern regarded as the President's warning. After the President was through, Hale Holden told President, Wilson they would co-operate in an effort to make pence, but that, they meant what they said when they declared that the eight-hour day was impracticable. Mr. Holden told the'presi-rlent. the road executives would give hi proposal careful consideration, and that, an answer would be given later He siid the president realized a threefold responsibility: to the people, to the railroads and to the R0 per cent of the railroad workers who were not members of the brotherhoods.

Nor is Oft "Rilled" Eldest Son of the Kaiser Occupying a Hospital Cot at Verdun, as Reported. ByAssociatevl Press to Every EveninK Paris, Aug. 19. The report that the German crown prince, Frederick William, is wounded and in a hospital at Verdun, is authoritatively denied. The report that he has been wounded is based upon a Zurich dispatch to the Italia of Milan saying that a Swiss officer returning from the German frontier was told by a German officer that the crown prince had been wounded in the head and one of his legs with a splinter of a shell and that he was being treated in an unnamed hospital.

No confirmation of this report is obtainable here. Since the leginning of the war the crown prince has enjoyed the distinction of having been reported killed about a dozen times and to have died from disease or lieen maimed in battle. Each time, however, he has eventually turned up serenely, usually driving his automobile. II is "death'' record almost equals that of the late Emperor Menelik of Abyssinia, who for a period covering some four years was regularly reported to have passed away. DANISH SOCIALISTS FAVOR ISLAND'S SALE Accept Premier's Proposal for a Prompt Vote on West Indies Dual.

By Associated Press to Every Evening Copenhagen, Aug. 19. The Socialist Party adopted a resolution in a caucus todav expressing its willingness to be represented in a coalition cabinet in order not to delay the sale of trie Danish West Indies to the United States. It was stipulated in the resolution, however, that this action would be taken only on condition that the home and foreign defence policy of the new cabinet should remain unchanged. As the Opposition, the Conservative and Left parties, is unwilling to accept this condition, this means that a coalition ministry is impossible.

The formation of a coalition cabinet representing the various Danish parties was suggested by the Danish premier, to avoid the holding of general elections for loth houses of Parliament and to enable the government to hold a plebescite on the question of sale of the islands. A member of the government party has asserted that the holding of a general election would delay the ratification of the treat' with the United Mates three months or more. GERMAN CATHOLICS MEET.

The withdrawal of James J. Whalen, an anti-machine candidate for delegate from the Third district of New Castle hundred, lias caused surprise. I lis name, it is said, was withdrawn without his knowledge by the executive committee of the New Castle County Republican Committee. The executive committee, it is officially stated, "would not say Mr. Whalen is not a staunch He-publican but does not know that he is a staunch Republican." This excuse for his withdrawal is considered flimsy, being interpreted to mean that he was not regarded as a machine Republican.

It is declared the Organization was anxious that there should be no contest in the Third district of New Cattle hundred. Mr. Whalen is a Republican member of the New Castle City Council. William J. Ftchells, the machine candidate for delegate, will Ik; opposed, however, for Mr.

Whalen has obtained stickers and will make a strong fight. It is said the Organization has promised Mr. Iltehdls a job in the new Public Building in this city. According to information received from some Republican sources, an effort was made by the inspector of the primary election in Christiana hundred today to move the polling place from Elf-mere to Oak Grove. The inspeetor sent out notices to the effect that the removal would be m.ade, it was said, but when the matter came to the attention of higher officials, the inspector was told that he was mistaken in thinking that he had that power.

It is Inlieved that the inspector wiw confused about the laws, as the general election law gives that official power to locate the poll where he chooses, while the party election law gives that privilege to the county committee from that district. It was declared by a member of the county commit te today that any polling place in Oak Grove would not be recognized. RALLY AT HICM A HDSON PAHK. Three hundred er.soiis attended an anti-Organization meeting at Richardson Park last evening. Julian C.

Walker, William Tinsman and Benjamin A. Groves made addresses, and their attacks on the machine evoked frequent applause. Bethany Band furnished music, and refreshments were served. Circulars concerning the issues to le settled at the primaries in that district today were distributed. WHAT A BLU.VUEH Ill.

The unauthorized insertion of two words "for" and "against," in a line caused Every' Evening to make a blunder, yesterday. The error was in an article headed "du Pont Battle to le Fought at the Polls." In a list of Wilmington candidates for delegate td the Republican State Convention the story designated the men for or against the renomination of United States Senator Henry A. du Pont. Referring to the rural part of New Castle county, the article stated: "Wilmington Republicans say rural Republicans are 'up in the air' respecting the United States senatorship and decline to sjecify rurals favorable or unfavorable to Senator du Pont." A list of rural candidates for delegate to the State convention was published next, and the copy of the article rightfully omitted the words "for and "against," as no attempt had leen made to classify them. The mistaken insertion of the words caused the blunder, which naturally resulted in apparently classifying some candidates on both sides in the wrong column.

W. Stewart of Statesvilie, N. noticed a good sized catfish floating down stream. The fish was very much alive and was in much commotion, apparently trying to get under water and for some reason could not. Mr.

Stewart was interested and he got his lnat, went out on the river and captured the fish. He put it in a tub of water and found that it wouldn't iiik. This led to further examination and Mr. Stewart says he found the fish had swallowed a large cniantity of wheat having access to the wheat as a result of the recent floods-the wheat grains had swelled so the fish couldn't digest them, and altogether that gorge of wheat had put that fish in a bad fix. lie not only could not go under the water but he was doubtless suffering much "misery" on his insides.

In all his long exeriences on tin1 river Mr. Stewart says, he had never come across a case like that. Claymont Church Services. Services at Claymont Methodist Episcopal Church tomorrow will be as follows: Class meeting, 10.15 a. led by Charles W.

Stampalia, Which Plied Between New York and Genoa, Finally Sent to Bottom. CREW'S FATE UNKNOWN By Associated Press to Every Evening London. Aug. 19. The Italian steam ship Stampalia, which plies between New- lork and Italian ports, nas oeen sunk, says a dispatch to Lloyds.

The Stampalia was a passenger liner of 9,000 tons gross. In common with other Italian liners she mounted guns for protection from submarines. The last rejxirt of her movements was her arrival on July 30 at Genoa fron. New York, so that she apparently was sunk on the return voyajre to the United States. She was commanded by Capt.

Iavarello. The Stampalia has accommodations for about 1,700 passengers. On her recent voyages from Italy to New York passenger traffic has teen light and the agents in New York of the hne said today she probably carried a comparatively small number of passengers. Her crew numlnred jiboi.it 170. The Stampalia first appeared in New York as an armed steamer in February last, arriving from Genoa with two 3-inch rapid fire guns mounted on her after deckhouse.

Washington 'was notified and on being informed that the guns were to be used for defensive purposes only, inst ructed the collector of the port of New York to grant clearance pajers. On arriving at New York on March 24 the Stampalia reported a wireless warning had leen received soon after leaving Genoa that a submarine was lying in wait for her off Sardinia. Instead of going north of Sardinia and along the north shore of the Mediterranean, which lefore that time had proved the safest route, she went south of Sardinia and through the Straits of Bonifacio. Itetween Sardinia and Corsica. Several armed Italian steamships have reported sighting submarines in the Mediterranean and in some instances being pursued by them and firing on them.

Italian naval gunners were detailed to service on armed passenger vessels to operate the guns. When the Italian steamship Re D'ltalia arrived in New York Aug. 0 from Genoa her captain reported that she had fired on three submarines in the Mediterranean. The steamship was pursued for seven hours and passengers suiid they believed one of the submarines had lecn sunk. There has been some increase recently in the submarine activity.

The naval expert of the Paris Temps wrote on Thursday that the German submarine campaign against merchant ships was again in full swing, in accordance 'with the German note to the United States in February, in which it was said merchant ships carrying guns could not be considered as peaceful vessels. The Stampalia was 47 feet long and feet of beam. She was built at Spezia in 1W9 and was owned at Genoa. The New York agents for the Stamalia said today that two weeks ago they had received a cable message advising them that all sailings of the steamship had been cancelled. They express the opinion, on this account, that the Stampalia had been requisitioned and was in the service of the Italian government.

In this case she would have no passengers on board. BOY SCOUTS' CAMP ONLY WEEK TO RUN Next Seven Days Expected to be Climax of Outing at Granogue. Camp Ca-sar Rodney. August 19. The local council of the Boy Scouts of America will be the guests of the president, Josiah Marvel.

The British line on the Sommc has been advanced over a section two miles long and 200 to 600 yards deep, from High Wood to the junction point with the French forces, the War Office announced today. The thunders of the heaviest rainstorm of the season joined those of the artillery, and flashes of lightning from the heavens vied with the flashes from the mouths of many guns in a most lurid battle picture in the darkness of the early hours this morning as a finale to vesterday's Anglo-French attack from Poziercs to the Somme front. The chilly heavy downpour continues, making artillery observation difficult.

The British main advance was toward Guillemont where thc3" gained an important position on either side of the town besides ground on the right of High Wood. The remainder of the ruins on the edge of Fleury on the Verdun front was captured last night by the French, the War Office at Paris announced today.

Continued from page 1 for the present ten-hour day in all the existing practices and agreements. I made, this recommendation because I lelieve the concession right. The eight-hour day now undoubtedly- has the.

sanction of the judgment of society in its favor ana should adopted as a basis for wages even where the sctual work to be done can not te completed within right hours. "Concerning the adjustments which should le mad, in justice to the railroads and their stockholders, in the payments and privileges to which their men are now entitled (if such adjustments are necessary) there is a wide divergence of opinion. ALRRADT It USE O.V BOMB ROAI. 'The railroads which have already adopted the eight-hour day do not seem to le at any serious disadvantage in reepect of their cost of operation as compared with the railroads that have retained the ten-hour day and calculations as to the cost of the change must, if made now, be made without regard to any possible administrative economies or readjustment. "Only experience can make it certain what rearrangements would be fair and equitable either on behalf of tho men or on behalf of the railroads.

That experience would be a definite guide to the Interstate Commerce Commission, for example, in determining whether, as a consequence of the change, it would be necessary and right to authorise an increase of rates for the handling and carriage of freight (for passenger service is not affected) TO ARBITRATE OVERTIME PAT. "I therefore proposed that the demand for extra pay for overtime made by the men and the contingent proposals of the railroad autliorities le postponed until facts shall have taken the place of calculations and forecast with regard the effects of a change to the eight-hour day; that in the meantime while experience was developing the facts, I should sek and, if need be, obtain authority from 0n-gresfl to appoint a small body of impartial men to observe and thoroughly acquaint themselves with the results, with a view to to Congress at, the earliest, rjssible time the facts disclosed by their inquiries, but without, recommendation of any kind; and that it should then le entirely ften to either or both parties to the present controversy to give notice of a termination of the present agreements with a view to instituting inquiry into suggested readjustments of pay or practice. "Tnis seems to be a thoroughly practically and entirely fair program, and I think that the public has the right to expect its acceptance." BOTH PLATING FOR PUBLIC SUPPORT. Out of the maneuvering of loth sides for a position which will enjoy the support of public opinion, come many evidences that each is working to organize public sentiment in its favor and make it manifest in a positive way. It was understood today that the railroads are turning to other large employers of labor throughout the country to express their support of the preservation of the principle of arbitration as a settlement of the industrial disputes while President Wilson and the employes are drawing support from large manufacturing and other interests vitally interested in keeping the railroads open lor business, and from those who want to see the movement for the eight-hour day carried a long step forward.

The evidences point to moves by each side to "back the other. The attitude of the railroad presidents to ask for time to consider the President's plan was said to be part of this program. RAILWAY HEADS UNYIELDING. The railroad presidents now numbering 33 went to the White House conference without their managers committee, contrary to expectations and previous announcement. They still held to the view that they had only authority to speak for their own roads and were not vested with the authority to speak for ail the 1 ine which the managers couunittee has.

There were man reports of the attitude of the presidents, none of which could definitely tie traced to a responsible source. The predominant one was that not iill the presidents were in favor of holding out against the Iresident's proposition to the point of a strike. The majority, however, were said to In) an unyielding attitude. One ray of hope that it might induce the railroad managers to make concessions stood out in a suggestion that the Interstate Commerce Commission might determine whether it would be right to increase freight rates to meet the added coiutensation to employes. The railroad presidents indicate! thev would, make a statement- soon.

All said that the question was not closed and that the negotiations would he continued. 'VONDITION, NOT A PK1NCIVLK." President llolden of the Burlington, spokesman for the officials, said no time had been set for them to see President Wilson again but that it was necessary to coufer with the committee of managers which has the authority to accept or reject the plans. Several of the executives indicated disappointment over President Wilson's statement, but showed particular interest in his mention of the possibility of the Interstate Commerce Commission considering an increase in freight rates. In his talk to the executives today President Wilson told the-m they were facing a condition, not a principle, lie asked whv they should demand arbitration when there was no law for compulsorv arbitration and he knew it to be impossible to get a compulsory arbitration law through Congress. The employes, he recalled, had consistently refused arbitration anil he believed it was impossible to gain it in the present controversy.

CANNOT SIT AS Jl-DUE. 'T have been aiked to sit as a judge," said the President in substance. "I cannot do it. I simply can suggest a plan, a way in which I lclieve this question can settled fairly to all sides." President Wilson urged again that the railroads accept the plan, adopt the eight hour day at least temporarily and then allow the proposed commission to fully investigate the facts. He pointed out that the railroads brought forward one set of statements and the employes another and it was impossible for hnn to tell which was correct.

In conclusion President Wilson said he believed his plan was the only equitable way of settling the controversy and that under it. both sides would be treated fairly: He considered it useless to discuss the principle of arbitration when it seemed impossible to bring about an arbitration in the present situation.
