MILD ADVICE FAILS TO CONVINCE SERVIA Austrian Troops Expected to Begin Moving Shortly. Beftla, March 20.—A tent-official communication appearing in the 'o loKiui Gazette describes the situation between Austria-Hungary and Servia as most pessimistic in the matter of maintenance of peace, but It is hope ful that the conflict, should one arise, may be localized. The communka tion says* "While attempts have been made in several quarters to aid a solution of the crisis a contrary course is being followed In Servia. Mild advice is not likely to serve any purpose at Eel grade severe pressure from the pow ers, especially Russia, Is necessary to bring the Servians to reason. Thi construction placed by Great Britain on the Russian note calling an inter national conference on the Boanian Herzegovluan question serves only to stiffen Servia's backbone for resist ante. The Russian proposals are not calculated to serve the ends of peace. The military situation is so critical that perhaps only a few days will pass before Austrian troops march into Servia. "It is questionable whether the hon est endeavors of some of the powers yet will succeed in preventing an out break of war, but pourparlers between various nations lead to the hope that the conflict may be localized." J. C. STUBBS ON THE STAND Harriman Traffic Manager Testifies in Government Case. Chicago, March 20.—The advent of J. C. Stubss, traffic manager of the Harriman lines, broke the monotony of the Chicago hearing before Special Examiner Williams of the govern ment's suit to dissolve the so called Harriman merger. The line of exam ination, however, did not differ from that pursued with previous witnesses and the government continued to ac cumulate evidence of competition among Western railroads prior to 1901, when the alleged merger went into effect. Mr. Stubbs read from rec ords of meetings held prior to 1901, quoting his own arguments in favor of plans for reducing or doing away with competition. That the placing of the Union •'Pacific, the Southern Pacific and other roads under one control, the government contends, was a move to this end, agreeable to the wishes of Mr. Btubbs.

SOUTH DAKOTA, SATCRDAY, MARCH 20, 1909 SENATE OPINION DIFFERS_WIDELY Many Changes Lftely to Be Made in Tariff Bill. AT VARIANCE ON LUMBER senator* ffcfm Maine and Pacific Northwest Will Resist. Any Reduc tion of Duty, While Minnesota and Dakota Members Desire It Put on Free List—Strong Opposition to In heritance Tax in Upper House. Washington, March 20.—That there V til be a great variety of opinions on the tariff bill when it reaches the sen ate is now certain, according to ex 'essions of senators in whose states ine located the various industries chiefly affected by the changes of b' hedules proposed in the house bill. Reductions on lumber schedules will be sturdily resisted by Senators Frye and Hale of Maine and by some of the senators from the Pacific coast and iiom the extreme Northwest. Sena tors from Minnesota and North and South Dakota, on the other hand, will make a strenuous effort to secure free lumber, instead of the mere reduction of the tariff as proposed by the house bill. The proposed inheritance tax will stoutly resisted and senators will ive an opportunity to vote upon an amendment providing for an income t. x. Free coal and hides also will be resisted and there Is likely to be a utrong fight against reductions in the various iron and steel schedules. While the general trend of senti ment among senators favors an in crease in some of the schedules and while they generally believe that the house hab made ample reductions to satisfy tariff reformers at least one Republican senator, Mr. Cummins of lowa, declares that the tariff should be made still lower and that he will de everything in his power to obtain further reductions. Minnesota Delegation United. The entire Minnesota delegation has steadily taken a leading part in advo eating a reduction in the iron and st«el schedule and in the procurement of free coal and free lumber and the senators from that state will continue to advocate that course, as well as to obtain a lower tariff on glass. It is declared that Minnesota, North Da kota and South Dakota have nothing to fear from free lumber, while they are anxiouB to obtain entrance into the Canadian market, which now ha a duty on 'lumber from the United States. The lumbermen of thes states hope, by a removal of the duty on lumber, eventually to obtain a sim ilar concession from the Canadian gov ernment and they claim that the price of their product would not be changed by a removal of the tariff. Senator Frye of Maine says that the removal of the duty from wood pulp will transfer that Industry to Canada and states that the 10,000 men now employed in the wood pulp and paper business in Maine would be placed in forced idleness. These industries, he Bald, represent $70,000,000 In capital. With free hides he believed the 40 per cent reduction in the boot and shoe schedules would be fairly acceptable. Senator McCumber of North Dakota declared himself in favor of free lum ber and a tariff on hides and insisted that the inheritance tax was all right. Senator Aldrich, chairman of the committee on finance, is giving great attention to the tariff bill and it is well known that he is fully convinced that many changes must be made in order to make the bill acceptable to the senate. WEST VIRGINIA LYNCHING Negro Who Shot Police Officer Strung Up by Mob. Elklns, W.

Frank Buhl, the millionaire iron and steel man, uncle of the kidnapped boy, has stated he would spend $100,000 to recover the boy. No decision has yet or can be made regarding the ransom of $10,000 de manded by the kidnappers for the safe return of the child.

BANK ROBBERS HOLD FuFuLACE IN TERROR Partially Wreck Buying but Fail ta Open Sate.
