Vienna, Sept. 18, by Courier to Berlin and Thence to London, Sept. 22, 12.20 a. m.—The recall of Dr. Constantin Theodor Dumba, Austro- Hungarian embassador to the United States, cannot have any possible ef- fect on the existing good relations be- tween Austria and the United States according to assurance given to The Assoclated Press, authoritatively by a high official speeking for the govern- ment. - Thus for no report of any nature has been received from Dr. Dumba and it is assumed here that because of the difficulties of communication he will wait until he can make a report Im person. Until such report is vail- able the government has no informa- tion concerning the affair further than what bas appeared in the newspapers, it is stated-and feel ercise reticence, lows: e ‘'The Dumba incident cannot have any influence whatever on the good relations of the two nations. The wish expressed in the-American note that the friendly and cordial relations may remain unchanged is shared to the fullest degree by the Austrian gov- ernment. “The American government un- doubtedly considered itself in good faith bound to request the ambassa- dor’s recall.

Principal Blow on Incomes. Spirits and beer, which have been the object of so much agitation, re- mained untouched by the new sched- ules. The principal blow fell on in- being jumped forty per cent, but its scope widened so as to catch even workingmen earning as little as $14 weekly.

General debate on the budget is yet to be held, but it was apparent that Mr. McKenna's suggestions were re- cfi:efl by a virtually unanimous house. The chancellor said incidentaily that he would have occasion to call on the country for another war loan. ANTHONY COMSTOCK. ENEMY OF IMMORALITY, DEAD Made Crusade Against Vice His Life's Work. New York, Sept. 21.—Anthony Com stock, secretary .of the New York So- clety ‘for the Suppression of Vice, died at his home in Summit, N. J. tonight after a brief illness. Mr. Comsto: contracted a cold while on his vac: tion ten days ago, which later d veloped into pneumonia. Mr. Comstock was noted for many years for his crusades against im- morality. He began back in 1872, when he was a drygoods clerk in a local store and succeeded in suppressing an objectionable book that was being ci- culated among his co-workers. So clated was he over the success of his initial effort that Mr. Comstock de- cided to make the crusade against vice his life_work. In 1873 the New York: Soclety for the, Suppression of Vice was formed by a group of prominent New York men and Mr. Comstock was made its special agent. He pushed his cam- pajgn in earnest and thousands of ar- rests and convictions resulted. The same year the postoffice department employed Mr. Comstock as an in- spector and it is said that he had much to do with checking fraudulent transactions through the mails. : Through his attacks on exhibitions and sales of ietures which were re- garded by many as works of art Mr, Comstock remained much in the pube lic eye and was often severely criti- cised. Mr. Comstock was married in 1871 to Miss Margaret Hamilton of New ¥York, who, with a daughter, survives him. Mr. Comstock was born at New Canaan ,Conn, on March 7, 1844.
