VOL. LIV—NO. 286 APPREHENSIVE OF CONTINENTAL WAR Mobilization of Austrian and Russian Troops is Viewed With Alarm in Great Britain IN FEAR OF BEING DRAWN INTO THE CONFLICT Obligations Incurred in Triple Alliance May Force Her to Take a Stand With Russia—Liberal Press Urging Government to Maintain Neutrality—Indications of a Failure in the Armistice Negotiations—Turks Getting More Cocky. London, Nov. 26.—The possibility and danger of a greater war than that between the Balkan states and Turkey absorbs public interest far more than | the first bout of diplomacy between the belligerents outside of Constanti- nople. The steps towards mobilization which Austria and Russia are taking, although but preliminary precautions, have made possible a vision of the vast consequences, which, as far as Great Britain is concerned, are consid- ered nothing less than appalling. British Public Uneasy. The British public apparently has no desire to sacrifice lives and money, paralyze commerce and risk the navy over the settlement of the status of the Balkan peninsula. Yet it is uneasy, because ignorant of how far Great Britain's diplomatic engagements with France and Russia extend in the direc- tlon of an alliance, and of how much likelihood there is that the govern- ment will be drawn into a conflict in which one or both of its partners in the entente may be engaged. European Nations Drift Toward War. The liberal press is unanimous in urging Great Britain to preserve neu- trality. The majority of the conserva- tives demand the same policy. The Times, declaring that none of the Eu- ropean peoples wants war, says: “Yet that is whither the nations are blindly It asks: “Who then makes war?” and replies: “The answer is to be found in the chancellories of Europe among the men who too long «have played with human lives ag pawns in a game of chess, and who have become so enmeshed in formulas and the jar- gon of diplomacy. that they ceased to be conscious of the poignant realities with which they trifle.” England Urged to Act. The Pall Mall Gazette almost alone speaks in a warlike voice. It de- clares: “England ought to act firmly with France and Russia in refusing simply to be swept aside. If the conference desired by the British government is refused we ought to face the alterna- tive and stand by our friends.” The mobilization of the Austrian and Russian armies requires weeks for what Germany and France can accom- plish in days. Tn Russia’s case this is on account of the great distances the troops must travel; in Austria’s be- cause the units of the army are on a peace footing, which is only one-third of their war strength. Therefore con- siderations of safety compel them to have® begin when the danger signals are re- mote. A Trio of Peacemakers. England, Frarce and Germany are playing a peacemaking role. - Their ef- forts are directed apparently towards keeping the powers together in a com- pact to refrain from taking up piece- meal the questions which the war raises and defer their consideration until the general conference. The withdrawal of Austrian war- | ships at Constantinaple to Germany is taken as an unfavorable sign and the imminent Servian occupation of Du- razzo, on the Adriatic sea, tends fur- ther to bring Austria and Servia tow- ard, the breaking point. Breakdown of Armistice Negotiations. On the other hand, the safe arrival at Uskup of the Austrian consul, Pro- chaska, who it was feared had been killed, should lessen the tension, and the fact that the Austrian ambassador lunched today with the Russian em- peror would seem to indicate that the relations between the two powers are still cordial. The latest news received here to- night foreshadows the breakdown of the armistice negotiations, probably over the demand of the Bulgarians for the evacuation of Adrianople, to which Turkey. will not listen. Fresh Turkish Troops from Asia. The Turkish view is that while the allies have no more reserves which they can draw upon, Turkey is draw- ing a plentiful supply of fresh troops from Asia, and is able to continue the war for another year. The Turkish military authorities assert that Adri- anople can hold out fer another month and that the Tchatalja lines are im- pregnable. Hence Turkey’'s position is not desperate enough to warrant her accepting humiliating terms. Appeal of American Consul. Washington, Nov. 26.—American Consul Summers at Belgrade, Servia, has appealed to the American Red Cross for a special Thanksgiving con- tribution from the United States for the relief of between 3,000 and 4,000 Albanian and Arnaut prisoners who are held in the fortress at Belgrade in a miserable condition. Queen Relieves Destitute. Sofia, Nov. 26.—By the express wish of Queen Eleanore, $30,000 brought by delegates from London for the relief of the war sufferers will be distributed among the destitute inhabitants 6% Ad- rianople after the sieve is over. ANCIENT SECRETS OF “PROFESSOR” LANORD If Your Wife Spills Soup on Table, She Is Thinking of Another. Chicago, Nov. 26.—Extracts from literature purporting to reveal “twenty of the most ancient secrets” in necro- mancy, were given out today in cqn- nection with the case of Felix Markle- wicz, known as “Professor” Lanord, now under bons of $1,000, charged with using the mails to defraud. The whole exhibit is under lock and key in the federal building, pending the trial of the “professor.” Some of the “secrets” revealed with the alleged prices at which they were sold, were: How to compel a thief to return stolen money.

ROMANTIC SEQUEL TO THE IROQUOIS THEATER FIRE Daughter Reunited With Mother Who Was Supposed to Have Perished. Grand Rapids, Wis.,, Nov. 26.—Mrs. Ella, Mayhew, said to be a traveling representative of the American Red Cross, and her daughter, Mrs. Sidmpy Burroughs, of West Grand Rapids, have just been reunited after a sep- aration of nine years, in which Mrs. Burroughs mourned her mother as dead, supposing she had perished in the Iroquois theater fire in Chicago in which about 600 lives were lost. Mrs. Mayhew (or Maxfleld, as her name was at that time), attended the fatal matinee of December 30, 1903, with a friend. When the fire broke out, they became separated. The friend escaped, but as no trace of Mrs, Maxfield was found she was mourned as lost. Mrs, Maxfleld was not dead, however. She had been bad- ly injured and taken to the Red Cross hospital in Chicago, where for a long time her life hung by a thread, and her mind was blank. Upon her recovery ghe learned tha . supposing her b be Head, 3 had married agajn and he * Mrs. Barrows, had ‘chs et Tesi- dence.” Mrs, Maxfield at to conceal her identity under i name, and became ‘conneeted with the hospital where ghe had’béen restored to health.

New York, Nov. 26.—Andrew Car- negie in a statement tonight nounced that all but $25,000,000 of hix fortune, which will be disposed of un- der his will, will be left to the Car- negie corporption of New York, which has been made his residuary legates and which will carry on his education- al and charitable work. Mr. Carne- gie said: of the ‘gospel of wealth’ by transfer- ring funds and have done so except that I have found it desirable to re- tain for a while personal distribution of my United States military tele- graph corps pensions and Pennsylva- nia railroad pensions to Pittsburg di- vision men and their widows, because my old boys would dislike the change The first person you meet { and so no doubt would others upon my pension list. To meet these pay-. ments and others under my will, twen- ty-five millions of bonds upon which the New York state tax has been paid have been reserved. But the New York corporation has been made my residuary legatee and all surplus left after meeting the provisions of my will goes to it. “I am happy in getting all this off my mind. It is a gruesome business, but I find that this earth is rapidly becoming more and more heavenly so many good men and women I know labor for others.” In explaining the pension plan, Mr, Carnegie cited the cases of three for- mer presidents as affording justifica- tion for the project, the announcement of which, he said, was “making the desired impression. His trustees and himself were all hoping,” he said, that congress would meet the situation “py proper action.” “Not one of us but will rejoice should this be the result,” he said. “We were very careful to provide that only in case congress failed to pro- vide pensions to ex-presidents the corporation would stand ready to do so. It is properly the province of the nation to act. We all feel that.” Hearst Asked to Testify. ‘Washington, Nov. 26.—Investigation of campaign contributions will be re- sumed by the senate committee of which Senator Clapp is chairman on or about Dec. 4. It is understood that a number of witnesses, including William R. Hearst of New York, have been asked to hold themselves in readiness to testify. Steamship Arrivals.

ALIENISTS DECLARE ROBIN TO BE INSANE. One Says He Imagines Himself Son of Head of Russia’s Ruling Hous: New York, Nov. 26.—Testimony that Joseph G. Robin, chief witness for the state in the trial of former City Chamberlain Charles H. Hyde, has been insane for several years was giv- en by alienists at Hyde's trial today. To discredit Robin’s testimony .that Hyde obtained a loan of $130,000 from Robin’s Northern bank for the totter- ing Carnegie Trust company in 1910 by juggling with city deposits of which he had control, counsel for Hyde called one alienist after another to the stand teday, receiving testimony that Robin was mentally afflicted at the time of his alleged negotiations with Hyde and still is insane. The attack on Robin followed testi- mony of a number of prominent citi- zens, including judges, business men and bankers, as to the good character of the accused Hyde. Dr. Austin Flint testified that Robin suffers from “true paranoia” and was so suffering Aug. 22, 1910, the date on which Robin testified he had a conver- sation with Hyde at which the latter proposed increasing the city deposits in the Northern bank in return for favor of a’loan to the Carnegie Trust company. Dr. Flint said Robin believed him- self to be a natural son of the head of the ruling house of Russia; that he considered J. P. Morgan and August Belmont enemies who were seeking “t® kill him;” that he was so much in fear of electrocution that he wore rubber shoes in order to insulate himself; that he had strange ideas for reform, in- cluding the unification of the world. GIBSON- STUNNED BY DISAGREEMENT Emphatically Declares He Won’t Ac- cept the State’s Proposition. Gosnen, N. Y., Nov. 26.—Burton W. Gibson, the New York lawyer concern- ing whose guilt or innocence of the charge of murdering his cilent, Mrs. the jury was unable to find a verdict today, was apparently stunned tonight by the dis- agreement of the jury. He said he had firmly expecteq an acquittal. The vote on the final ballot taken by the jury stood nine for acquittal and three for conviction. The jury announced at 11.20 o’clock this morning its inability to reach a decision and was discharged. “I am bitterly disappointed,” Gibson said tonight. ~“Now nothing can be done until March. The state talks of abandoning the murder charge against me if I will plead guilty to larceny or forgery or perjury in New York coun- ty. To use the language of a juror, ‘T1l see hell frozen over first. “I have been wronged, for it is more unjust for the innocent man to re- main under a cloud of this sort than it is for a guilty man not to be pun- ished. “I have always lived an upright life. I have never harmed anyone. I have never taken a nickel dishonestly. My life was an open book until the Kin- nan case, which came as a thunder clap.” Mrs. Gibson had “a good cry” iIn her husband’s cell tonight before leav- ing for her home in Rptherford. “I know he is innocent and I am going to stand by him,” she said. MRS. RAYMOND MAY KNOW FATE TODAY. Only Judge’s (;arge to Be Delivered Before Going to Jury. Augusta, Me, Nov. 26.—The taking of testimony and the arguments of counsel .were* completed today in the trial of Mrs. Elsie Hobbs Raymond, charged with murder of Mattie Hack- ett at Readfleld on Aug. 7, 1905. To- morrow forenoon Chief Justice Wil- liam P. Whitehouse of the supreme court will deliver his charge and the case will be given to the jury. After brief rebuttal testimony today Congressman Daniel J. McGillicuddy, counsel for Mrs. Raymond, gave his closing address to the jury. He de- clared that the state had failed to show that the respondent could have had any motive for kiiling Miss Hack- ett and laid stress on the plausibility of the theory that a tramp committed the murder. Referring to the state’s contention that Mrs. Raymond was jealous of Mattie Hackett, Mr. Mec- Glllicuddy said: “Where was there anything in the life of Bert Raymond, her husband, either before their marriage or after it, that would warrant any jealousy?” Attorney General Willlam R. Pat- tangall, closing for the state, asserted that all other suspects had been elim- inated from the case, as it had been shown to be ‘impossible that any of them could have committed the crime. He argued that Mrs. Raymond had not given a satisfactory account of her movements on the night of the murder and that she had ample time after leaving her home to have reached thé scene of the crime before Mattie Hackett was killed. He ridiculed the tramp theory. HICKEY RECOGNIZED ? BY NEW YORK POLICE. Arrested There Ten Years Ago for Murder of Newsboy. - New York, Nov, 26.—John F. Hickey was brought here tonight from Toms River, N, J., and locked up in a police station untfl tomorrow morning, when he will be taken on the Empire State express to Buffalo. While at head- quarterg Hickey was identified as a man ‘who Was arrested as a suspect ten years ago in the case of the mur- der of ‘Michael Kruck, a newsboy, in Central Park. Hickey admitted he was arrested for that crime and 'subse- released, as was stated re- cently by officials of the local police department Taft Not After ~The Nomination WILL ..0OT SEEK THE PRESI- DENCY IN 1916, WARNING TO FRIENDS Urges Them to Refrain from Mention- ing Him as Possible Candidate— Plans for Reorganization of Party. ‘Washington, Nov. 26 — President Taft has quietly informed friends that no matter how active his participation in a reorganization of the republican party may be, he is not to be regarded as publicly referred to in political speeches by republicans as a possible candidate of the party in 1916. Not Seeking Renomination. The president has made it plain that he does not wish to be considered in any vy having an eye on the first place on the republican ticket four years from now. He intends to do all in his power to help rejuvenate the party, and probably will make many political speeches before March 4 and after he re-enters private life, but ac- cording to close friends he is in the fight to continude the party and to try to return it to power as a man who has been its standard bearer for four years and not as a man seeking a re- nomination four years hence. These facts have been developed here during the last few days in connection with discussion of a proposed gathering of republican leaders during the winter to formulate plans for bringing repub- lican factions together. Meeting of Republican Leaders. Within the last week nearly a doz- en republican national committeemen have called at the White House for brief conferences either with the president or with his secretary, Charles D. Hilles, who- was chairman of the republican national committee during the campaign. A meeting of republican leaders to be held at New York or Washington some time early in January is now be- ing considered, but plans are as yet indefinite. President Taft and Mr. Hilles are being urged to take part in ihe movenient to establish active “mil- itant” headquarters for the party, to open at once, and to lead a general party reorganization movement during the next four years. May Be Leader of Movement. It is said that President Taft may actually become the leader of the movement to strengthen party ties; but, if so, it will be with the under- standing that he does not undertake it with any prearranged plan that he is to be the candidate for president four years hence. The republican committeemen Wwho have been in Washington recently have offered va- rious suggestions for the reopening of party, activity. The majority of them favor a general publicity and educa- tlonal campaign "to strengthen public support of republican principles and to place the party in a position to take advantage of any “mistakes” the dem- ocratic administration may make. “"Republican Dinner in January. The president is expected to speak at a republican dinner in New York some time in January, but it is said here that there has been an under- standing that no speaker at that din- ner, whenever it is held, shall refer to the president as the prospective repub- lican standard bearer of 1916. His endorsement of the dinner idea is said to have been contingent upon such an understanding. DEATH SENTENCE IS 3 PASSED ON GUNMEN. Week of Jan. 6th Set for Their Exgu- tion by Justice Goff. New York, Nov. 26—“Gyp the Blood,” “Whitey Lewis,” “Lefty Louie” and “Dago Frank,” the gunmen con- victed of the murder of Herman Rosenthal, were sentenced by Justice Goff today to die in the electric chair at Sing Sing during the week of Jan. 6th. Each of the prisoners was sentenced separately, and in each case Charles G. F. Wahle, their counsel, moved that the verdict be set aside and the judg- ment be arrested. Each motion Justice Goft successively denied. One of the grounds for Mr. Wahle'’s motion was that the jury had actually deliberated less than half an hour and that the verdict was the result of “passion, prejudice and other influences.” None of the condemned men gave any visible outward sign of his feel- ings. All looked stolidly ahead and each shook the hand of Mr. Wahle as he was led away. CAN TALK WITH BECKER. Gunmen Close Enough to Converse With Police Ljeutenant. Ossining, N. Y. ov. 26.—The wives of Lefty Louie and Gyp the Blood and ‘Whitey Lewis’ sister were permitted to walk with their relatives from the train to the prison. Sheriff Harburger and a heavy guard of deputies escort- ed the gunmen and hundreds of Os- sining people joined the procession. The official party went inside the main gate of the prison, where, on being given over to the warden, each of the gunmen shook hands with Sheriff Har- burger. *Each promised to call on him in New York “as soon as we are re- leased,” they said. The four men filled the last vacant cells in the death house, where there are now 17 men awaiting electrocu- tion. They are not on the same tier with Becker, but can talk to him if they wish, gs words spoken in an or- dinary conversational tone can be heard throughout the death house by all the inmates. MR. AND MRS. WILSON GUESTS OF THE BERMUDA GOVERNOR.

A BIG DEMONSTRATION Strike Leader and Associates Met at by Enthusiastie Followers—Spoke from Window. Railroad Station Lawrence, Mass, Nov. 26—THous- ands. of persons greeted with red lights and cheers the return tonight of Ettor, Giovannittl and Caruso who were aoquitted at Salem today of charges of murder in connection with the death of Annie Lopizzo during the textile strike here last winter. Women with babies in their arms ,joined in the demonstration which gathered in volume a8 the crowd surged with the three acquitted men through the prin- cipal streets of the city to Lexington hall, the headquarters of Industrial WorRers of the World. The cheering was continuous. Addressed 10,000 Mill Workers. From every side street in the tene- ment district came hundreds carry- ing red lights. The throng in Lex- ington hall flnally made conditions in the building so dangerous that Ettor was forced to ask them all to leave. Then, from an open window he ad- dressed fully ten thousand persons, the red flare flickering on the upturned faces of the multitude.made up of mill workers of a score of nationalties. “Band Together to Gain More Bread.” Both Ettor and Giovannitti de- clared that they owed their lives to the “solidarity of the industrial classes of the world.” {ittor during his speech was continuously interrupted with cheers and as he concluded there was an outburst that eclipsed all pre- vious efforts. “We shall see,” he said, “that those who belong to the Industrial YWorkers of the World shall be protected to the full ljmit of our power ,energy and ability. You won your strike to get your wage advance, but you will never get enough until the mills belong to the working classes. You have got to band together in a union to gain more bread.” Whisked Away After Speech, The crowd clamored to get near their leader, but Ettor, suffering from ner- vous exhaustion due to the strain of hi strial and the excitement of the day, was taken away by newspaper men in an automobile as soon as he had finished speaking. Later, after the crowd had dispersed, he returned to the hall to meet a few friends and leaders of the Industrial Workers. He planned to stay in the city over night. Giovannitti announced that he would stay with friends in Quincy, while Ca- ruso remained with his family here. Roar ‘of Cheers Greeted Train. The train bearing the three men was three-quarters of an hour late In reaching the city. The twenty polico- men detailed to the rallroad staticn were lost in the crowd but there was no disorder. As soon as the headlight of the train appeared around the curve there was a roar of cheers and a rush was made for the car of the labor lead- ers. it was impossible to get the men mto an dutomobile whizh had been ed to take them to the *I. V. . headquarters and it was an hour before they could move on foot toward their destinaiion. Posters had been scattered throughout the mill dis- trict during the day notifying the op- eratives of the demonstration that was to take place and as the processio moved up Common street the crow kept growing larger. Ettor Refers to His Arrest. Ettor was plainly tired out, but when he appeared at the window of Lexing- ton hall to make his address his voice was as clear as ever. “Ten months ago,” he said, “Glovan? nitt and I were strapped away from vou with the hope that the backbone of the Lawrence strike would be broken and that you would go back to your slavery, misery and looms. On January 80 both of us were placed in a cell and told in so many worda that we were there for our great ac- tivity in helping you gain your Iiberty. “Owe Our Lives to Working Class.” “We have had but one worry and that was that the masters would suc- ceed in driving you back to work; that the masters would club or bayonet you back to the mills, Tonight you are happy, we are happy ,cvery one is hup- py. If tonight I do not sleep behind prison bars enshrouded by granite walls it is because of your support and the support of millions of men and women throughout the world. 1 owe my life and so do my brothers, Givonnitti and Carouso, not to the laws of Massachusetts, not to the tricks of a clever lawyer ,but to the workipg class of America and the wasd.” EMBRACED AND KISSED.
