for
GENEVA, June 27 The Swiss papers
report that a beautiful bird, strange to
Switzerland, which has appeared in lim
ited numbers in the Engadine, has
caused apprehension among supersti
tious Swiss folk. It is traditionally be
lieved that the bird visited Switzerland
in 1570 when there was a famine; in
1784, when there wa
political disturbances; in 1866, when the
country was afflicted with pests, and,
lastly, in 1870, during the Franco-German
war. So far as known it haa not
been seen in Switzerland since then.
Bird students believe they have iden
tified the visitor as the "bombycilla
garrulus,' popularly known as the silk-
tailed starling, which is supposed to
have its habitat in Lapland.
KING TARGET OF GUNNERS
Emmanuel, Absorbed in Soldier's
Feat, Refuses to Retire..
'
UDINE,. Italy, via Lugano and Paris,
July 18. King Victor Emmanuel re
cently stood his ground while he and a
group of officers were the target of
Austrian gunners, refusing to retire to
a place of safety because he was in
terested in watching a young Italian
soldier who was trying to cut the wire
entanglements in front of the Austrian
trenches.
The King marked the progress of the
wire-cutter attentively from the time
the latter left the Italian lines. The
ruler and the officers about him at
tracted the attention of the Austrians,
who for a time shelled them.
The soldier accomplished his task and
returned unwounded.

Automobiles full of visiting delegates
were atreamlng away from the hotel
throughout the day for two and three-

variably as they returned they brought
back an enthusiastic chorus of singers
of praise for Portland's beauty and at

The National officers were guests at

There was little discussion of politics
of the coming convention afloat In the

about the city.
Enough was afloat, however, to indi
cate that there will probably be a sharp

the annual congress for next year.

Poland, and along the Dniester River In

through Western Gallcia. the Russians

sion, are turning and delivering vicious
blows at their opponents.
The probability that the Russians
will have to evacuate Warsaw, which
is threatened by Von Hindenburg In the
north and Von Mackensen in the south.
is being seriously discussed. The pos
sibility of a further retreat, however.
Is being calmly considered In Russia,
where the old theory that the farther
the enemy is drawn Into the country
the worse It is for him buoys up their
hopes of final victory.
For the present Berlin is the only
capital celebrating, and again Field

Commission of Investigation Will
Be Same One That Refused to
Recommend Commutation
of Death Sentence.
MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga July IS.
Leo M. Frank lay In the Georgia State
Prison Hospital tonight with what at
tendants said was a fighting chance
for recovery. Physicians had succeed
ed In stopping the flow of blood from
a Jagged wound In his throat, made
with a butcher knife In the hands of
William Creen. a fellow convict, also
serving a life term for murder. The
blow was struck as Frank slept In his
bunk In a dormitory late last night.
An Investigation of the attack prob
ably will be conducted by the Georgia
Prison Commission, the same body that
refused to recommend that Frank's
death sentence be commuted to life Im
prisonment. Reports from Atlanta
were that Governor Harris Intimated
today he would start such an Investi
gation to ascertain if Creen acted en
tirely of his own volition.
Aaaallaat Oealea Aid.
Crecn said today, when taken from
solitary confinement long enough to be
questioned, that he planned the attack
alone. He was not communicative to
day and gave as his only excuse that
"he thought It ahould be done." lie
said, however, he regretted his act.
Frank was quartered at night In a
dormitory with about 100 other prison
era. Crecn's bunk was fourth from
his. No prisoner Is allowed to leave
his place without permission from one
of the two guards stationed at the dor
mitory at night. Shortly after 11
o'clock last night Crecn called out for
permlrMon to get up, and It was
granted.
Guard Preveata Seen ad Blew.
He started down the line of hunks
toward the one occupied by Frank. As
he reached It he grabbed Frank by the
hair and delivered one blow with the
knife. A guard rushed to the bunk and
prevented Creen from striking again.
Among prisoners who rushed to
Frank's aid were two physicians, one
of whom was also serving a life term
for murder. They gave first aid and
treated the wound until the prison phy
sician was summoned from his home
half a mile away. The three men took
25 stitches In Frnnk'.i neck. Dr. H. J.
Rosenberg, tho Frank family physician.
arrived from Atlanta today with nurse:.
He sall that while the patient's condi
tion was precarious, he had a chance
for life.
Jaislir Vela rsrtlr Severed.
The cut extends from the front of the
neck around the left side tn almost the
middle of the back of the neck. Neither
the windpipe nor the fpinal cord la
hurt, but the Jugular vein Is partially
severed. The physicians" greatest fear
tonight was that some of the stitches
might slip, causing more loss of blood.
Frank knew tf the demonstrations
against the action of Governor Slaton,
whose term recently expired, in com
muting his sentence, and also of threats
to take him from the prison farm by
force. Those who reached his eide first
after he was wounded believed he had
all this In "mind when he said:
"I guess they have got mo now."
He did not lose consciousness and
after being taken to the hospital, asked
that his assailant be forgiven.
