Berlin, Aug. 27.—(By wireless to Sayville.)—The following official an- nouncement was made here today- “The Italian gpvernment has de- clared through the Swiss government that it considers itself from August 28 at war with Germany.” Paris, Aug. 27.—A Havas dispatch from Rome gives a communication prepared by the Stefani agency and addressed the Ttalian government | to the Swiss government.

SINGL @mrz. s S GOUNTY JAILS OF STATE INSPECTED Secretary Shahan Takes Turn Examining Older Prisons Ttaly's position in regard to Ger-! many has been an anamolous one since Italy withdrew from the triple | alliance May 2J last year and de-| clared war on Austria. Although by ' this act she arrayed herself against her former allies, Germany and Aus tria, she remained officially at peace | with Germany wuntil yesterday i Work of oVn Buelow. Before Italy took this step Ger- it ot remain neutral, sending to Rome | as an ambassor Prince Von Buelow. | The prince for some time averted war | between Austria and Italy, and when he saw a rupture was inevitable took | ficial peace between Germany and| Italy. He negotiated a special agree- ment under which, in case of war be-! tween Austria and Italy, Germany and. Italy pledged themselves to re- spect the pr. i€8 and lives of their | respective subjects in each others do- | mains. According to unofficial reports from | Europe. Italy’s allies were dissatis- | fied and at the Paris couticil of en-| tente powers in February last asked | the Italian representativés why their | nation was not at war with Germany. Italy already had agreed not to con- clude a separate pecace, and at the Pris conference sanctioned the plan for a permanent high council of the| entente powers for future conduct of the war. Declaratich Certain. The increasing co-operation_among the entent allies and tfie necessity for bringing into service Italy’s surplus of | troops, gradually brought Italy into| a declaration of hostilities against | Germany was certain. { The first overt act in this direction occurred shortly after the Paris con-! ference. February 29 Italy requis tioned thirty-four of the thirty-seven German steamships interned in Italian ports to help meet the pressing needs | of the allies for shipping facilities. | Other indications of approaching'war} have been observed in recent weeks. A German court ruled that Italy and formally, at war. It was reported un- officially that. Germany had taken charge of the defence of Triest. A more definite indication was the sev- | erance last month of the commercial agreement, providing for mutual re-| speet of the rights of each other’s| subject. The final step was the scn?-! ing of [talian troops to Saloniki. Italy | lations last year. Military Effect Little. | Italy’s actiofr probably will have lit- | tle effect in the military situation in | the immediate future, although as the | war goes on it may have a more im- portant bearing. On the ‘\ustm-‘ Italian front Italy finds active use for | | hardly more than hali her army and | in future can send available troops to | any front. Having committed herself | already to the Macedonian campaign | [taly's stép is of no significance as| respects that theater of war. Ger- many hereafter will be freec to take| sueh part in the Austro-Italian cam- | paign as may be decided upon by the | Teutonic_allies, either in the way of leadership or by utilizing her soldiers when needed. | | An Ame_lican Ranch, Presidio, Fex., Aug 27.—(By auto- mobile to Marfa, Tex.)— cporl;} reached here today that Mexican ban- | dits game across the Rio Grande near!

NO INMATES AT PAWNEE (From a Staff, Correspondent. ) Lincoln, Aug (Special.) After inspecting a number of jails and poor farms in the newer coun- tics of the state, Secrctary Shahan | many exerted every cffort to inducc;flf the State Boand of Charities and Corrections took a turn last week down in the older counties of Gage, Richardson, Pawnee, Nemaha and Otoe. o _ In Gage county he found an old jail in use which has been condemned sfl_‘eral times, but plans are now being made to give the caunty a new one. The poor farm of this county consists-of 160 ackes and is well sip- plied with buildings, some of which have been repaired since Mr, Shahan ed them The house is still lighted with the old- fashioned kerosene lamps and hsould have a more modern lighting system. The county pays a superintendent and his wife $85 a month to run the place and furnishes them everything. Pawnee county has no prisoners, but has a fine modern jail in a fire- proof court house. The county has no poor farm. New Jail Needed. Richardson county needs a new jail, but the voters refused to see .it that way at the election, and so the six prisoners confined therein will have to crowd together in the two cells, 7x7feet each, which hold six cots which fold up against the wall. A room 10x16feet contains a bed and toilet, with bath tub, and the cage | sits in a room 16x18 feet, leaving a small corridor for exercise. Mr. Shahan hopes that his trip to the Richardson county poor farm and talk with the commissioners, who were also there, will result in a better condpion there. The county has a good farm of 120 acres under a high state of cultivation and worth $15,000. However the house is not what it should be and is heated with stoves and lighted with gasoline lamps. There are no bath tubs. The Nemaha county jail at Auburn is an old building and very unsanitary. The floors are damp, the-clothing on the beds was damp and the odor around is very offensive. Four pris- like & bird and sailed | and Germany severed diplomatic re-|oners, however, occupy the place, and has to stand for it. Secretary’ Sha- han recommends a new jail. Nemaha a Farm, [he Nemaha county poor farm is a good farm, pretty well cultivated and with buildings in pretty good shape. [t has modern conveniences in the way of heating and electric lights will be put in soon. While the Otoe county jail at Nebraska City is a pretty good jail, with plenty of room and equipped in good shape with modern improve- ments, the prisoners do not appre- ciate all these attempts of the people f that county to give them a life of luxury, and several of them have broken out and left the place. “Twinkle Trot" Is To Be }Ey_est Dance Chicago, Aug. 27.—The “twinkle trot,” a dance similar to the fox trot,’ will be among the newest dances to become popular this winter, it was de- cided today at the convention of the Amcrican National Association of Dancing Masters.

Brown was held down by | the car across his neck, and was re- leased by C. M. Beck, who was on the bridge behind them. Lockwood was following Beck's car, running pretty fast; Beck slowed down as’he went on the bridge. Lock- wood says his brakes failed to work |and he hit Beck's car and his car whirled into the railing. North Platte, Neb., Aug. 27.—Mrs | Merle Bisland, third victim of the Cozad motor accident, died at a local | ‘haspital today. HOLD INGOME TAX LIMIT LIKE IT IS Senate Votes Down Provision to Lower Exemption to Two and Three Thousand. FIERCE DEMOORATIC ROW Washington, Aug. 27.—A proposal to lower the present income tax ex- emption, written into the administra- tion revenue bill by the senate finance committee and then = stricken out| when the house leaders indicated they would not accept it, was voted down 31 to 19, by the senate tonight, when Seantor Underwood offered it as an amendment, Discussion of the amendment was marked by a bitter exchange be- tween democratic senators in charge of the bill and Senator Underwood, author of the present tariff .law, and who, as democratic leader of the house had a prominent part for sev- eral years in framing revenue legis- lation. Underwood Criticised Chairman Simmons of the finance committee reminded the Alabama { senator that it was a long standing senate practice for senators to stand | by the decisions of their party cau- cus, and Senator Stone, also a mem- ber of the comimttee, declared Sen- |ator Underwood deserved severe cen- sure for his attitude toward the bill. “Is the senate degenerated to a point whare the individual senators must take orders from those who serve ‘on committees because their constituents have kept them in the for many years?” retorted Senator Underwood. “I do not rec- ognize the right of any member to dictate to me. ; The amendment which would have lowered the exemption by $1,000, making the normal income tax apply to incomes of $3,000 for married per- sons and $2,000 for unmarried per- sons, received the support of only | five democratic senators. They were Senators Bankhead, Hardwick, Lane, O’Gorman and Underwood. Hundred Perish Every Day From Disease and Hunger El Paso, Tex., Aug. 27.—An appeal of the people of Aguas Calientes and Zacatecas to authorities of the de facto government in Mexico City to | send physicians, medicines and food to alleviate disease and famine ramp- ant in the two states has been fruit. {less, according to private advices here.

In the early hours of | this morning the streets, especially | those near the historic town hall, were still thronged with crowds waiting for Captain Paul Koenig and his crew. During the evening Captain Koenig was obliged to make innumerable speeches. He was on the verge of exhaustion when he retired, with the crowd still clamoring for him and | singing “Deutschland Uber Alles.” To the Associated Press corre- spondent the captain reiterated his great satisfaction at the treatment ac- corded him at Baltimore. “Send the American people my love,” he said. “They are good sports- men. They treated me finely.” The homeward. trip was without un- usual incidents. No British warships | were seen, the-captain said, after he left American territorial waters.

PRESIDENT TURNS T0 CONGRESS T0 AVERT WALKOUT Wilson Goes to Oapitol in Effort to Prevent Threat- ened Walkout of the Trainmen. SUBMITS RAIL STATEMENTY Executives of Roads Unani- mous in Refusal to Accept Settlement Plan. BROTHERHOODS WAITING Washington, Aug. 27.—The threat- ened railway strike took on such a grave aspect that President Wilson turned toward congress for a solution of the problem. Sunddenly yesterday, when- it be- came known that the railway exec- utives were unanimous in their refusal to accept his plan of settlement, Presi- dent Wilson personally went to the capitol and laid before Majority Lead- er Kern of the senate, and Senator Newlands, chairman of the interstate commerce committce, the statement of the railway heads that congress must guarantee some source of added revenue if they are to meet the de- mands of their employes. Begin Discussing Proposals. How this should be accomplished President Wilson did not suggest. Im- mediately afterward senators began discussing proposals to have congress record itself in favoy of a rate in« crease. No arrangements were made today for 'the president to address congress on the subject, but it was considered likely that he might do so during the coming week, if the situation con- tinued critical. Tonight the railway executives fin- ished framing their answer to-Presi- !dent Wilson'’s plan and notified the White House they were ready. Presi- dent Wilson sent word he would pre- fer to see them Monday morning at 10 o’clock. ’ The Brotherhood leaders, after be- ing in meeting most of the day, ad- journed to 10 o'clock tomorrow morn- ing. Many of them left town tonight. Up to Brotherhood Leaders. The refusal of the railway execu- tives to accept the president’s -plan ;ncludinfi concesséon of the :isht-h;)ur ay, and proposing a counter plan, such as previcmlyiumen ouflfued, Wil put the next move 6p-io . the Brotherhood leaders, 1t probably will be commuhicated to them early Monday after President Wilson has heard from the executives. Meanwhile some development of possible congressional action is ex- pected and will depend on the out~ come of the next steps between the employers and emflloyen. The executives held several meet- ings during the day, but no change resulted in the position they took last night when they approved a rou’ draft of their reply .to President Wil- son. It was 6:30 tonight when the committee of eight which has han- dled the negotiations announced that they had ayked for a conference with President Wilsonn and awaited his pleasure. “After a two hours’ wait the executives announced that President Wilson had informed them He would prefer not to see them tonight. Summing Up of Situation. The situation, .as summed up. late tfinigh( by those in touch with it, was this? President Wilson has seen * the published reports. of the reply the executives will make him Monday and does not wish to accept ‘it. - It would not surprise those in the con- fidence of the railroad officials. to have him, make a.counter proposal at that time, retaining his original roposition for an eight-hour day, gut offering ‘the roads as compensa- tion congressional assurances of .a freight rate increase and a commis- sion to settle future disputes.. Among the executives tonight it clearly was evident that such a counter proposal probably would not be accepted. Whether they wouid re- ceive it from President Wilson and take it under consideration for a few days was not at al! certain, but its ultimate rejection was forecast gen- erally. t The position of the men . is not clear. Apparently they will not ac- cept the reply of the executives. as it has been published, but they might be willing to negotiate ‘with it as a basis. They will meet again Lat 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. Attitude of Congress. Nobody knows the attitude of con- gress towards the suggested legisla- tion. It was pointed out tonight that there are many senators who bitterly opposed the 5 per cent increase re- cently granted the eastern roads and criticised the commission for its po- sition in the case and who might be expected to oppose any proposal Nothing seems to affect .. the wonderful record of increase Bee Want-Ads ' are making.
