SERl EAGER TO WAR WITH AUSTRIA If Conflict Comes, Every .Man and Womanf Young or Old, Will Fight. AUSTRIAN TROOPS PROVOKE SERVIANS Belgrade, Servla, Dec 8. The ac cumulation of Austrian troops on the Servian frontier and the provocative language of the Viennese newspapers have led to renewed excitement and feeling In Servin. The newspaper Pravdn, voicing; the prevailing Irritation, says: "If Austria desires war with Servla It will come. It will be the most bitter fight In history. Every Servian, man ... numan, young ana oia, win take part in It and Austria will have to ex- --.i; &ut; cuurc scivmB nnnon Be fore conquering It.' Austro-Hungarian authorities have stopped at Fiume the steamer Hege disch with a cargo of 800 tons of flour, destined for the Servian army at Du razzo. It Is announced that Austria in tends to confiscate the flour for the use of her own army, thus creating a situation similar to that brought about by the stoppage by Turkey of Servian guns. Battle Continues at Scutari. Owing to the refusal of the governor of Scutari to accept notification of the armistice communicated through the German minister, hostilities continued there, according to a Cettinje dispatch. It Is considered probable that the gov ernor's refusal meets the wishes of the Montenegrin government, which hopes thereby to obtain Scutari by force of arms. A Saloniki dispatch says the condi tion of the refugees there is becoming worse each day. Thousands are without shelter and smallpox and other mala- dies are widespread.

AVIATOR IS KILLED "WHILE PHOTOGRAPHING TURKISH LINES Vienna, Austria, Dec. 9. The fate of Dr. Jules Constantin, a French aviator in the Bulgarian service, who was deco rated by king Ferdinand for bravery. Is described in. a dispatch received here. Dr. Jonstantin started irom surma vii- lage on his last flight over the Tchatal- j ja lines, with the object of dropping bombs on tne TurKisn troops, -tiis di plane disappeared rapidly and some hours later was seen to descend near the Bulgarian camp. The aviator was fond lying on the ground dead, with a bullet wound in his chest The wings of the biplane had also been pierced by bullets. The instrument showed that he had reached a height of nearly 4000 feet. He had photographed the Turkish lines and evidently had been shot, but had strength to guide the machine back be fore he expired. TURKS LEAVE TRIPOLI. Tripoli, Tripoli. Dec. 3.

DECREASES Senator Works Says Presi dents Can and Do Use Power to Gain Support. MONEY TRUST PROBE RESUMES HEARINGS Washington, D. C-, Dec. 9. In a speech today in the senate upon his resolution for a constitutional amend ment that would provide a single six year presidential term, senator Works, of California, identified since hi3 en try Into the senate with the "progres sive" Republican faction, made a strong criticism of Theodore Roose velt and. the progressive j)arty for their affiliation with George W. Per kins and other representatives of J large corporations. Senator Works declared both Roose velt and Taft deserved defeat. He as serted that Roosevelt, when president, had withheld action against the Har vester .trust- with the natural result that Mr. Perkins had been one of the chief Roosevelt backers in the fight this year for the progressive nomina tion; and, with equal emphasis he de clared that president Taft had "lost the respect and good will of many good people by going upon the stump ; against CoL Roosevelt." The attack upon Roosevelt came in connection with senator Works's assertion that the president's office had been used to prevent adverse action against cor porations. Trust Favored By Roosevelt. "We are not without evidence of the effect of such action on succeeding elections," said senator Works. "The great Harvester trust, one of. the worst and most oppressive of its kind, was signally favored by Mr. Roosevelt when president, in this respect. It was not prosecuted for violation of the Sherman anti-trust law because Roosevelt . ordered otherwise. What was the natural result? When Roose velt again became a candidate, George W. Perkins became his ardent sup- -.-. ... , i -., i 1. porter and chief financial backer. "I am not saying that Mr. Roose velt acted out of the improper mo tives In dealing with the harvester j i-u ul uie sieei irusu j&e may uuvc been perfectly satisfied " 'that the course taken by him was the proper and just course. I call attention to these instances of presidential favor and what followed them, as illustrat ing the power that exists in the hands of a president in his first term, to se cure his election to a second. Campaign Contributions. "The investigation of campaign contributions, lately has opened some of the darkest pages of the political history of the country," ha continued. "Ithas reve21e"a the "unpleasant faet that the money used for campaign purposes, both by Republicans and Democrats in the past years, was sup plied almost wholly by men interested in the large corporations that were amenable to punishment under the 9nM tniaf low ' "The new progressive party was tainted in the very beginning by put- ting itself in the hands of the same interests. "No matter whether it was under stood or" not, it was nothing more or less than buying Immunity from such prosecution. They very naturally reasoned that the man whn nppnted their money to secure his election would not use the power their money had given him to punish them for j making that money unlawfully." senator Works referred to the so- j called TTftrrimftr. nnntrlhiitfnn thA . campaign fund of 1904. "Harriman received his reward whether the money was raised for that purpose or not," said the senator. "Suits by the government were at that very time pending against some of his companies and after his contribution they were d-smissed. His roads were otherwise favored by the president that his money helped to elect" A single presidential term, senator Works declared, would prayent the use of patronage and the power of office in th way it Is now used and would remove the opportunity a president now has to grant favors or inflict' punishment upon campaign friends or enemies.

Hampered by Lack of Power. At the former hearings the committee was greatly hampered by the imita tions affixed to its authority in the matter of forcing bankers to divulge to the committee the secret financial affairs- of their respective institutions. Although congress adopted the reso lution granting further power to the committee. It is still a disputed ques tion whether or not a banker can be forced to reveal the innermost secrets of his desk. Samuel Untermyer, the chief counsel for the committee, has gone carefully over all the data gathered by the new (Continued on page 5). Greek Says Bible Tells Them They Will Defeat Turks Declares the Present War Is Preoraained to Set-the Christian Nations Free From the Dominion of the Turks Says Daniel Predicted It- D APPA, who runs the flower stand In front of the Roberts-Banner building, claims the Turks are cer tain of defeat. His reasons are unique, but he says they are Biblical. He says that Daniel the prophet told of a Greek triumph and the defeat of the Turks in the year 1913, and the fall of Constantinople. "Daniel, in his vision of the four beasts," he says, "tells of seeing finally one dreadful and terrible beast with 16 horns; and one came and stood by him and told him the four beasts represent ed four kings, who should come upon the earth and after 10 kings, one should rise who would subdue three 0 TRI FUND TO PAY FINES Government Charges Strik ing Ironworkers Caused Death of Policeman. MONEY EXPENDED AND NO ACCOUNTING MADE Indianapolis, Ind.. Dec. 9 Assaults committed during the iron workers' strike were investigated Dy the gov ernment in the cross "examination of Patrick F. Farrell, of New York, a de fendant at the "dynamite conspiracy" trial today. ' Out of J10.000 contributed by the In ternational union to sustain the strike in New York, Farrell admitted he 'fur nished bonds for and paid the fines of union men. Sixty assaults in 1906, in which bottles of ammonia and revolvers were used as weapons, and in which one man was thrown In-the river and a policeman who had attempted to quell a riot was killed, were charged by the government as being a part of a "reign of terror," which preceded a general use of dynamite. The strike never has been called off. Farrell is charged, as an executive board member of the International union, with appropriating money to en able J. J. McNamara to maintain a "dynamiting crew." Asked about the wreck of a draw bridge at Pelham, N. Y. in February, 190S, when the draw fell into the bay, Farrell said he had written McNamara that "the high wind" had blown the work down. "Was 'the high wind" a term used to designate depredations against non union work?" asked James W. Noel, for the government. "It was not. We believed the Pel ham job fell apart because of incom petent workmen," said Farrell. Farrell said he knew funds of the union were expended for which' no ac counting was made, but he am not know what the money was spent, for. He denied all knowledge -f McNamara's purchase of explosives. Detroit Defendant Testifies. Frank J. Murphy, of Detroit, a for- p mer iron workers' business agent, was J . in. i. ,4 ..-..;..-. n .,., the 10th defendant to testify Murphy was charged with "trying to find out" how much a witness knew of alleged plots to blow up nonunion work in Detroit. Ortie E. McManigal confessed that in 1910, Under orders of Herbert S. Hockin, he took a suit case filled with nitroglycerin to Detroit, but that the orders were, suddenly called off. Other witnesses testified that Charles Wacshtmeister had re ceived ?100 from Hiram Cllne. of the CarDenters' union as the carpenters' shafe of the expenses for explosions. I Robert G. M. Ross came from Hawaii j to testify that Wachtmelster became , intoxicated and "talked so much that the proposed explosions were called off." and that - phytaridarejioe - Dowd, now of Hbchester, N. Y., met Ross to fina out woat he Knew oi tne plots. Murphy denied he ever had talked to Ross and asserted that he knew noth ing of the proposed explosions to union ize various trades in Detroit. It was In Detroit that James B. Me Namara and MoManigal were arrested ?? ' ?,"& Vl11' 19n to cause five exDloslons there. "Did you ever talk to L. A. .Noel, of the Iron Workers' union about using nitroglycerin in Detroit?" asked sen ator J. W. Kern. "None of the uniop officials, so far as I know ever talked of explosives." Murphy was passed by the govern ment without cross examination. Wachtmelster next testified. "Did Cllne ever glte you J100?" asked I senator Kern. "He never did." said Wachtmelster. "Did you ever arrange with Cllne for blowing up buildings In Detroit or for buying explosives?" "I never did." The witness also denied meeting J. B. McNamara and telling him there was too much "lalli" to cause explo sions in Detroit' ROOSEVELT SAYS HE CAN CARRY OWN GRIP Enthusiastic Bull Moosers Finally Re lieve Leader of His Baggage Upon Arrival In Chicago.

WANTS CANTEEN IN THE ARMY AGAIN Washington, D. C, Dec. 9. Unspar ing condemnation of those who would, from "misplaced sentimentality or lazy self-interest," cast the Filipinos upon the world in the state of helplessness and before they had acquired the full benefits of American civilization, is a strong feature in the annual report of secretary of war Stimson. Many other subjects of interest are treated in the report, such as the relations of the na tional guard to the army, the improve ment in the army tactical methods, the inadequacy of the present reserve law, the crying need of citizenship for the Porto Ricans, the conservation of the national water powers in navigable streams, and the advisability of amend ing the Panama canal tolls act so as to reimpose tolls on American .coast wise shipping leaving the waterway. Army Is Improving. Dealing first with purely military subjects, the secretary states that the strength of the regular army at the Beginning of the present fiscal year was 82,305, an Increase during the year of 189 officers and 7834 enlisted men. He says the spirit of the personnel of the- army continues to improve, at tributable not only to the work of the service schools and the general staff, but to the practical opportunities af forded by the recent maneuvers and changes in organization and methods. Unfit officers are speedily discovered under the searching tests of field con ditions. "One of the surest ways of getting rid of the dead wood of our army is to work it as far as possible, under the applicatory methods of mod ern military training," the secretary declares. The Mexican Border Patrol. Relative o the Mexican border pa- trol. the secretary tells of the work I that: naj; nA4n ncofimniianixi savs M(np that has been accomplished, says "the conduct of the troopu assigned to these duties has been most satisfactory and the effect of their presence excellent." Closing, he says: "In the light of the recent proposals to reduce- by one-third the force of regular cavalry belonging to the United States army, I deem it proper to call attention fo the fact that the brunt of this entire work fell upon and was performed hy cavalry, and that dur- ! ff"1,"le "-Ir-.

In treating of the morals of the army secretary Stimson asserts his belief that the socalled anti-canteen legisla tion has been responsible for much vice, a statement which he supports by a recital of the results of his" own In spection of 49 of the mobile army posts, where he found the military reserva tions adjoined by dives and Ill-resorts of the vilest character. These condl Itons he believes to be the ultimate causes "which make the record of bur army in this respect shameful beyond that of the army of any other civilized nation." Foreign Garrisons. Under the head of reorganization of the foreign garrisons, the report di rects attention to the benefits attend ing" the substitution for 12 reduced strength regiments in the Philippines, by a garrison of six regiments of full strength with a resulting saving of over $1,000,000 per year. The imme diate completion of the posts at Panama and Hawaii, he strongly urged as by far the most important items of mili tary expenditure for the immediate fu ture. Canal Needs Guards. It is said that the locks and machin ery at Panama already have reached a condition of extreme vulnerability in case of sudden attack, yet no greater force can be sent there than the one regiment now on guard until new quar ters are constructed for them, and the secretary urges that such works should begin at once. On the other hand, says the secretary, the base at Pearl harbor, Hawaii, is of far greater strategic Im portance for the protection of the en tire Pacific coast from attack than any of the positions on that coast now so strongly fortified. No naval enemy could make a serious effective attack upon any portion of the American Pa cific c'oast unless it had first reduced the position at Oaku. threatening its flank. Quarters for the men who are to protect the great stalls, naval ma terial and seacoast guns from falling into the hands of land attackers should be pushed to completion as rapidly as possible. Three Infantry Divisions. The tactical reorganisation of the army on the basis of three infantry di visions, the report shows has pro gressed as far as possible without con gressional assistance in the way of pro viding for large, ample posts, and a series of conferences of the general of ficers of the army has been planned for this winter. As a result the time now necessary at the outbreak of war to organize the regular army will be dis pensed with. The Army Reserve.

However, said that he heard Casey call Amberson a vile name. James T. Edwards, a boy employed at the Pearson mills, testified that be was in the Bellevue office the night of the shooting.

John Caulfield said: "I don't live any place now: I -work nights and have been here at the courthouse all day. I don't know Casey. I knew Amberson to speak to him.
