review of the work of his ad?

to date. In response to this re?

quest the Mayor prepared the

following statement:

By JOHN ITKROY MITCHEL.

You a*-k me for a review of the ad?

worked with us shoulder to

make difficult the work that we have

undertaken to do. I feel that at all

New York, to study them and to find

for their eolation in a spirit

which seeks the success of the ad?

in the same franre of mind. This is

important, for the press has a very

mighty influence <?n tho ability of the

administration to keep in touch with

public sentiment ar.ii to submit its

FIND SCH?NCK GIRL

DEAD IN CREEK

Trenton's Six-Month Mystery

Partly Solved When Body Is

Identified by Bar Pin.

Tciprraph to The Tribune.*

Trenton. N, J.. June 28. A six

months' mystery was partly cleared to

day when the body of Miss (?race

Schanck was washed up on the rocks

of the raceway running rrom Sanhi

can Creek into the Delaware River.

Raymond Johnson, while walking alone

the bank, saw the girl's head resting

on the rocks.

From the f?-w scraps of clothing and

a gold bar pin, still fastened about the

neck of the girl, it was recognized by

Ralph Schanck as the body of his

daughter. The clothing and the pin

wore worn by the girl when she dis?

appeared in October last.

The disappearance of the Schanck

girl was one of the most mysterious

happenings that Trenton hns ever had.

October 23 last the girl started down-)

town with her mother. They parted,

the mother to do some shopping and

the daughter to visit the home of an

aunt. She never reached her aunt's

house, and, as though the earth had

opened up, the girl was gone, and there

?.?.as no reason or ciew as to her dis-I

appearance.

Some days later a silver mesh bag

and a iiat belonging to Miss Schanck

w? n> found m a tcld about a mile

iibuvp Trenton, nnU along ^anhican

things

? all ?orts of rumor.'.

The river and the creek were ??ragged,

and rumors were run down in many

of the large cities of the country.

Only a few dajs ago it was said that

?i mysterious girl in Newark was (?race

Seh; nek.

The only reason that can he assigned

1 for the disappearance of the girl is

that her mind may have been tempo?

rarily disarranged a-^ the result of an

attack of typhoid. There was nothing

on her body to indicate thai there had

been anything like foul play.

HAVE ARREST HABIT

Man and Woman Charge Each

Other with Persecution.

Once again Miss Minnie Goldsmith.

. of '2020 Pitkin ave., Brooklyn, and

Michael Meyers, of 249 Hinsdale st.,

took their troubles to the police yester?

day, when the latter had .Miss Gold

1 smith arreste?1 on a charge of stealing

$100 worth of his jewelry. For years

this has heui a regular habit with

, ?them, and each has caused the arrest

i of the other many times.

"That man is persecuting me to

death," sobbed the girl, when she was

taken ?to the Liberty eve. station. "He

| broke his promiM to marry me and my

heart as well. That didn't satisfy him,

and here I .im In prison"

"What that woman says is all lies!"

shouted Meyers. "She is hounding me

to death."

Among the charges they have pre?

ferred against each other are assault,

. perjury and robbery.

London, .lune 28. The steamer Cali?

fornia, of the Anchor Line, drove into

the rocks oft Tory Island in the dense

fog prevailing ?to-day. Wireless mes?

sage;*, calling urgently for assistance

were picked up by the wireless stations

along the coast.

An hour later the California's wire?

less operators increased the urgency

I of their calls for assistance. The mes- '

; saces said that the steamer's bow

wen baiily damaged and water was

pouring in through two gaping boles

opened when she drove into the rocks.

Londonderry operators received the

first news of the accident promptly.

They notified the naval authorities of

the port. Several gunboats were fortu?

nately at anchor in the harbor, with

steam up. They were signalled to get

under wav at once and rush to the

California's assistance. Despite the

dangerous fogs, the commanders of

th'se ships, slippeii their cables and

l.'ft the h-.rbor und?r a full head of

staam.

' iptail* ?'ovfrloy of the California

late to-night sent out the following

wireless dispatch :

"Ran ashore in fog about half-mile

from the 'lighthouse. Did not hear

foghorn. Sea quiet. Three men-of

war and. s'camcr Cassandra standing1

? by to transfer passengers."

Kven if the report of calm water i?

(oircct, however, fear is felt for small1

boats in the sea at that point. Several

! tides meet around the Tory rocks, the ,

cr.rronts are swift and treacherous, the

winds variable and a lively sea is

kicked up in a short time.

Tory Island, as it is called on the ,

maps, is a ?small island surrounded by

dangorons rocks, standing ten miles out

in the Atlantic, otf the northwest coast

of Donegal. The seas driving around

the island and the meeting of swift,

make navigation here particular?

ly dangerous. Foggy weather is con?

stantly encountered.

The California, bound from New

York for Glasgow, ran into heavy

\ n.ther, rain and fog early to-day.

L.iter messages received from Lon- '

donderry denied the earlier ones to j

??Vet that the passengers had been

transferred from the California. They

stated thai tiny wire all still on

board, and that the steamer was strick

fast between two enormous rocks and

in no immediate danger of sinking.

She struck with such force that the

loan r part <>f her bows was badly stove

in. and she is nr.king ?vater rapidly

WANAMAKER FLYER

TESTED BY STORM

Over-Ocean Boat, Blown Into th^ Air by a Sixty Mile

Gale, Withstands Severe Buffets of Wind,

Ra?n and Hail.

r taraph to Th?. Trlbune.t

Ilamrnondsport, S. Y., June *J8. -Foi

the ihm! time within a week, the

staunchness of the Wanamaker flyina

boat, America, has been sorely tried

i?y the elements. At noon to-day a

cloudburst, accompanied by a sixty

mile gali', broke over Lake Keuka and

threatened to <le,?troy the machine.

So suddenly diil the storm break that

the America was lifted from her cradle

and blown four feet into the ?Ar be?

fore willing hands dragged her back

to earth. Olenn H. Curtiss, assisted

by Fall wood Doherty, one of the most

expert of the Curtiss flyers, directed

th?' rescue brigade.

The rain fell in torrents and hail

?tones an inch in diameter pelted the

surfa??e of the unprotected machine.

I || considered a miracle that the

?Irum-tight surfaces of thin Japanese

silk were not punctured in many

places. The men who were holding

the big machine were forced to protect

their heads with ?tanvas. Trees and

telegraph poles were blown to earth

and the lightning struck repeatedly,

entering 'he hangar near the America

on the telephone wires and putting the

service out of commission. Lieutenant

Porte said afterwards that he fully ex

pe? ted to see his machine blown to de?

struction.

When the storm had subsided t

tnorough examination of the America

showed that she had suffered no dam?

age beyond a bad drenching, and the

experience through whi?-h the boat has

passed proves that she can weather

anything short of a tornado.

No flights were made to-day, al?

though the weather cleared in the

early evening. The work of installing

an additional planing surface is com?

pleted and Forte is sure that the at

taciiment will be of service in the

?water.

It is only a matter of days now be- I

fore the huge machine will he ready I

for shipment to Newfoundland. The '

weight ?nrried yesterday showed that

a sufficient amount of fuel for a twen?

ty-hour flight could be ??arried. Inas?

much as tn?tt is the time Porte has'

estimated for his trip to the Azores,

th? start seems to be assured. Future

experiments to determine whether ?he.

boat will fly with enough gasoline for

thirty or forty hours will remain. If

this can be done the importance of

landing at the Azores will be minim

i.ed and Porte will not waste tim-;

searching for the islands if he ge> t

off his ?ourse but will head his ma?

chine for the nearest Kuropean point

probably on the coast of Spain.

Both Porte and Curtiss are satisfied

that the tests have shown the America

capable of performing her task, and

the trials this week will be to insure

an extra margin of safetv.

Make Assassins Pay Sum

my Cable ?o Th? TrfbUM 1

Vienna. .Tune 28. The following de?

tails of the assassination of Archduke

Francis Ferdinand and his wife arc

now available. At 10 a. m. the arch?

duke, with the duchess, left the mili?

tary camp in an automobile for the

Town Hall. The car halted for some

minutes while a number of young

girls in festive attire greeted the heir

i.pparent and the duchess, who accept?

ed some flowers from them and spoke

a few kindly words.

The car moved on, but ?earctl'y had

it gone more than a few yards when a

man, who has since been identified as a

printer named Gabrlnovics, sprang out

from the crowd and hurled a bomb

full at the royal car. The archduke

himself warded it off w.th his arm

and it fell at the back of the car and.

rebounding on the roid, exploded.

The automobile had by this time

moved s?ve ?1 yari. , and the full force

of the exp ision fell on the following

automobi.??, which contained four mem?

bers of the Archduke's suite. They

were Count Boos-Waldeck, Baron

Ilummerskireh, Countess von Lanjus,

lady in waiting, and Lieutenant Colo?

nel von Merizzi, aide-de-camp.

The last named received a splinter

in the neck and was badly hurt. The

royal chauffeur, at the direction of the

Archduke, immediately brought the

car to a standstill. In the mean time

the would-be assassin was seized by

the police, who 1k?1 the greatest diffi?

culty in saving him from the fury of

the crowd. The Archduke, after ascer?

taining the extent of the injuries to

his aide-de-camp and seeing that he

was being medically attended to, gave

the order to proceed, and the royal car

soon afterward arrived at the Town

Hall.

With his wife he spent half an hour

inspecting the Town Hall. The Arch?

duke then stated he was going to the

garrison hospital to see how Colonel

von Merizzi was progressing. Escorted

by the town councillors he descended

the step? leading to the entrance of

the buile g, re-entered the automo?

bile with his wife and drove off. The

car reached the corner of Franzjosef

and Rudolph sts. when two shots in

close succession rang out.

The first struck the Archduke in the

right cheek, inflicting a fhortal wound,!

while the second penetrated the body j

of the Duchess, severing a main artery.

She sank unconscious into the arms of

her husband, who a few seconds after?

ward also fainted. With all speed the

car was driven by the chauffeur to the

Town Hall, but almost before the doc?

tor could reach their side both had ex ?]

pired.

The ar-sassin, who was a Servian stu<*

dent named Gavro Prinzip, was seize?'!

and disarmed. The crowd made .. I

fierate attempt it? drug him from th?-!

protecting police, but the latter sue-,

ceeded in conveying him unharmed t<*

Sarajevo, Bosnia, June 28.?The Archduke Francis Ferdinand.

h< tir to the dual monarchy of Austria-Hungary, and his mor

g; natic wife, the Duchess of Hohenberg, were shot to death to-day

in the main street of this, the Bosnian capital. Bullets from a

m agazine revolver in the hands of an eighteen-year-old youth rid

dl id the heir apparent and his wife, and thus completed the grim

ta jk a madman had unsuccessfully attempted only a few hours

be fore by hurling a bomb at the royal automobile.

Another terrible chapter has thus been written into the tragic

ar id romantic history of the House of Hapsburg. and to-night the

ag td Emperor lies prostrated by the news in his summer place at

Is?:hl.

The flying bullets struck Francis Ferdinand full in the face.

O? le tore its way into the Duchess's body. Another pierced the

, great artery in her throat. As the blood gushed from her neck she

fel I senseless across her husband's knees.

An instant later he. too, sank to the floor of the car i~. a heap.

Be rth were rushed with all speed to the palace. But no help was

of Bvail. They died a few moments after they arrived.

ASSASSINATION CAREFULLY PLANNED.

The assassination had been carefully planned. It was while

the? heir t? the Austrian throne and the woman he had loved so

well were on their way to the town hall that Nedeljo Gabrinovics,

a j ourneyman printer, slung a smoking bomb at the royal automo?

bil e. It was while they were returning from the hall, perhaps an

hour later, that Gavrio Prinzip, a high school student, stood at the

, co rner of the Rudolfstrasse and poured his fusillade into the help

lesis couple. Again, an unexp.odcd bomb was found a few yards

aw fay from the scene of death. It had been flung in a corner by

, an Dthsr madman after he had learned of the success of Prinzip's

attack.

ARCHDUKE WAS INDIGNANT.

After the bomb exploded the Archduke and the Duchess

pr oceeded to the City Hall. The automobiles were fleet and the

refws had not yet filtered through the crowd in waiting. Indeed,

th ere had hardly been time to telephone. So the burgomaster was

astonished when he met his royal guests at the door to have his

cu stomary address of greeting interrupted by the snapping words

of Francis Ferdinand:

"Herr burgomaster, we come to pay you a visit and bombs are

th rown at us. It is an insult!"

Then his princely dignity overcame his indignation, and he

pa used and said :

"Now you may speak." .

After the ceremonies the Archduke and his wife announced

th**at they would visit the wounded members of their suite in the

hcepitals on their way to the palace. They set out in their ?car,

th fcs time protected by a cordon of police. They drove rapidly

do wn the Franz Josefstrasse and were nearing the Rudolfstrasse

wl len Prinzip, a pale faced boy?indeed, a mere stripling, but with

all the zeal of a fanatic shining in his countenance?popped out, ?af

the front rank of the crowd like a seed from an orange. No one

seemed exactly to realize what he meant to do. It was as real and

ar.| unreal as a moving picture.

MAGAZINE REVOLVER USED.

Just as the automobile slowed up on the turn into the Fran*.

Ji .sefstrasse the boy raised his arm from his side. The sunlight

si ruck on the dull steel of the magazine revolver and soldiers

1? aped to grab, the youth, but before they reached him he had ac

c*omplished his deed. It was with extreme difficulty that he was

ni ?scued from the infuriated crowd.

The first attack was filled with all the dramatic intensity and

suddenness with which the successful and unsuccessful attempts

an the lives of European monarchs have been attended. Sarajevo

V 'as en fete to welcome Francis Ferdinand and his wife. It was

a triumphal procession. Flags fluttered in the soft wind and gar?

lands hung from the windows. A great throng of picturesquely

??lothed peasants pushed and shoved against the detachment of

[(soldiers that held them good naturedly in check at the railway sta

l-tion where the couple were expected.

HEIR APPARENT UNGUARDED.

?There was no especial military preparation, however, as the

heir to the throne had always been regarded as so popular that no

. particular precautions were necessary. In -fact, the general feeling

\ that he would without doubt in the near future succeed to the

throne through the death of his uncle had clothed him with a sort

of affection that seemed to protect him.

With his wife and staff he came from the train to the auto?

mobile, and as the crowd cheered the royal procession started for

j the City Hall along the flag decorated road. A short three hun-J
