Prank, serving a lite Imprison ment .sentence tor the 'murder of Mary Phagan, a 14-year-old Atlanta factory girl, was attacked and his throat cut 'by William ('reen, a fel low prisoner, at tho State prison farm here. Physicians announced late to-night that the wounded man's condition was serious, but that he had a chance to recover. Tho attack on Crank was made while he was Bleeping in tho prison dormitory in company with the other inmates. The knife used was made of a file and had been used by the prisoners in killing bogs during the day. . Prank's throat was cut for a distance of several inches ?ind the jugular vein partially severed. Some animosity lias been shown Frank since he arrived al the State prison farm after his death sentence was commuted to life imprisonment, bul the prison officials said to-night that they had not thought for an in stant that an attack would 'be made on him. William Creen. 45 years old. who is doing a life term from Columbus, Ca., on a charge of murder, lias con fessed to cutting Frank's throat. Creen has been put in chains. Doctors completed sewing up the wound in Prank's throat at 1.15 o'clock Sunday morning. They lind joined the jugular vein and they be lieved the operation 'was successful. Frank was taken to the hospital. He was still conscious. The inmates of tho prison occupy one large room at night, a sort of a dormitory, where tho strictest of rules are observed 'by the prisoners. All are allowed the freedom of the floor until S o'clock, but after that hour a prisoner is not allowed to move without permission from a guard. Tho attack on Frank came so quick I hat no guard had time lo in terfere. Creen is alleged to have drawn tho knife from his prison clothing, where he lind secreted lt for the murderous attack, and utter ing a curse, thrust it across the throat of Frank, the attack 'being from be hind. Prank fell to the floor, uttering a cry of pain. The lights were quickly switched on and the guards saw him prostrate upon tho Moor. blood Spu.Hng from Iiis wounds, while; a prisoner was trying to make bis way back to his bod. A knife that had been made of a i lile ami which the convicts used in | killing hogs during the morning was I found on the floor of tho prison whore the attack occurred. How tho | knife was smuggled into t lie prison ' is r. mystery. Dr. Ceo. H. Compton, the prison surgeon, was immediately called, but I before he could reach (be prison dor mitory, two well-known C.eorgia sur-j geons who are serving terms in the} prison, were at Frank's side, admin- j ister i ng firs! aid io Cue wounded man. One of these physicians is Dr. .1. W. McNaughton, of Swainsboro. who is doing a life terni for murder, hav ing 'been sent to prison after four trials, and tne other physician who attended him first 'Was Dr. L. M. Har rison, of Columbus, doing a long terni. "I guess they've got 'me," Frank is quoted as having uttered to the doc tors who stood over him. Prank was conscious from the start and continued to talk. He suggest ed to the doctors how the flow of blood could be stopiied. "Sorry I Did lt." While Prank was on the operating table Warden Smith and other prison ofllcials had Creen brought before them und his statement was taken. ' Tin awfully sorry that I did this," he said. "At tho moment I thought that I was doing what was right. 1 | thought that 1 was doing something that ought to ibe done. "If I had to do it again I wouldn't do it for anything in the world. I am especially sorry that I attacked Prank, now that I realize tho serious ness of the crime. I am sorry be cause of the criticism that it may bring on the ofllcials of the State farm, especially of Warden 'Smith. I wouldn't do a thing in the world to injure him in his position. Ile had confidence in me, and l have violated that confidence. I am ready to suffer the consequences." Creen was questioned to some ex tent as to how he attacked Frank. He said that Prank lay asleep in the bed in the dormitory of the prison where lhere were a hundred others. He slipped up behind Prank In the darkness and slashed his Ihroat. There was only ono knife wound. Frank was asleep when attacked. Immediately after Creen had made his statement lie was taken lo the basement ol' the prison, where lie was put in irons.

Mrs. Floyd was well known and j greatly loved in Walhalla, where for:' a number of years, she, with her bus band and family, made her home. She was the widow of tho late Major J. S. Floyd. They moved to Wal halla from .Newberry county a num ber of years ago and Mr. Floyd en gaged In farming near town. Mr. Floyd preceded ber lo the grave sev eral years, and since his death the deceased had not been a regular resi dent of Walhalla, but spent her time visiting among the families of lier sons and daughter. Mrs. Floyd was a good woman, a devout Chris tian and a consecrated and consist ent member of the Baptist church, in which it was ber chief delight to work for lier Master. Uer life was given iu a constant endeavor to bet ter humanity, to uplift the fallen and to work among the poor of any com munity in which she chanced to be sojourning.

To-night he is resting well, having regained 'his normal pulse, and shows every indication that he will recover. Besides the constant attention given hy physicians, two trained nurses have been employed to care for him.

Now York, July 17.--The British passenger linerOrduna, with 227 pas sengers aboard, 21 of whom were Americans, was attacked without warning by a German submarine at tl o'clock in the morning o? July !>, It! liours out of Liverpool, on her way to New York. Announcement of the attack was made by the ship's captain 'Phos. McC. Taylor, and passengers when the Or duna reached here to-day. < A torpedo was tired at the steamer and missed by ten yards Twenty minutes inter a submarine rose tn the surface, anti for half an hour pur sued the steamer, dring shells which whistled over the decks above the hoads of passengers standing there with t heir life belts on. Ten minutes before the attack a sailing ship witli two American Hags painted on her sides was seen ahead. Capt. Taylor became suspicious of this craft and began mannenvering his ship. Then came the attack, the tlrst warning of ?which was the streak of a torpedo which w li i ried I brough the water and missed the Orduna's j stern by about len yards. Stewards ran below and aroused 'he passengers, who rushed to the upper decks. They were assembled near Ibo bridge. Life belts were ad justed and life boats swung out. The crew stood ready to launch the boats. A shell kicked up a minia ture geyser in the Orduna's wake. The submarine had the range. Capt. Taylor turned the stern of ? the vessel toward the assailant and ordered all speed ahead. Within ? from two to live minutes another : shell passed over the heads of Hu: I assembled passetigers. A third shell passed over head so ! close that it seemed to clip a life boat and Capt. Taylor ordered Hie pas sengers to a lower deck. The life boats were swung lower, so the pas sengers might step into them with out delay. The shelling continued, shots falling about the steamer at in tervals of from two to five minutes. For about half an hour the subma rine pursued the liner with the span or Witter between them lengthening each minute. Seven shots were Hied in all. Four of them passed over (he decks. The other three fell close to i he sh i j?. Then (he submarine, out distanced, gave up tile chase. Adds Gravity to Situation. Washington, July is. into tho grave situation thal bas developed be tween the United States and Ger many over tho sinking of Die Lusita nia was thrust another issue, when it was revealed that thc British steamer Orduna, carrying a score of Americans, had been attacked hy a German submarine. should lirst reports of an attempt to torpedo without warning lie borne out by the official investigation about to be instituted, it was indicated in official quarters that the United States probably would regard the in cident as adding a grave ?dement to the already strained relations be tween the two countries. Hacking information as to tho cir cumstances of the attack, officials wore unable lo predict to-night to what extent the Orduna case would aggravate the situation, 'but they thought the question would certainly compel serious consideration by President Wilson and his caiblnet in formulating the next step in the policy til' the United States toward the activities of Herman submarines and tile safety of Americans on the high seas.
