THREE BULLETS ARE FIRED Prominent !—ig_u-re in Politjcal Affairs of Dual Monarchy 4 for Years. | | DETAILS OF CASE LACKING 1 Berlin, Oct. 21.—(By, Wireless to o Sayville.)—Count* Carl Stuergkh, Austrian premier, was shot and killed today while at dinner, by the editor of a Vienna newspaper, named Ad- ler, says the Overseas News Agency. Eondoh, Oct. 21.—The premier of Austria has been shot. Reuter’s Amsterdam correspond- ent says the premier, Count Karl Stuerghk, was shot today by the pub- lisher of a Vienna newspaper named ) ~ Abler, according to a telegram re- ceived at Amsterdam from Berlin, Vienna, Via London, Oct. 21.— The Austrian premier, Co un t, § Stuergk, who was assassinated while 1 at dinner today by Ludwig Adler, a publisher, was shot three times. Count Stuergkh was dining at a hotel when the publisher attacked him. Three shots were. fired, all of which ) took effect, the premier dying in- { stantly. . #Count Stuergkh has been a prom- inent figure in Austrian political af- fairs for years. He was minister of ) public works in the cabinet formed in 1909, at the retirement of which in October, 1911, he was asked to form a new ministry. -~ The count was’ born in 1859 at Graz, was educated at the University of Grazan and entered the service 7 the state in 1881. He began his # parliamentary. career on March, 12, 1891, when he was elected "to the Reichsrath. In 1899 he became a ministerial director in the depart- ment of which he afterwards became the head. In the interval he was out of office for @ time, resigning after the_fall of thé Windische-Graetz cab- inet. Crisis Unavoidable. Telegraphing from Vienna a few days ago, a correspondent of th Vossiachi Zeitung of Berlin said a ministerial crisis in Austria was. con- sidered wunavoidabte. The dispatch did not specify the reasons and. little information has reached this country in regards to the current’ Austrian political conditions, although ther: have been many dispatches in regard to ‘the political strife in Hungary. The Austrian parliament has not been in session since before the war, & One of the few occasions on which the count’s name has fjgured in the American news during the war was in August of last year, when he was interviewed by an American corre- spondent. He was quoted as having said that although some of the Teu- tonic expansionists favored extreme terms, he was sure the German gov- ernment and influential citizens would hold to moderate demands, thus hastening the end of hostilities, Sloan Points Out ' Unsoundness of - ) Democratic Tariff York, Neb., Oct. 21.—(Special.)— Congressman Sloan addressed a good- sized audience at the courthouse Thursday evening. After relating some of his ‘own activities he dis- cussed the tariff, with special refer- ence to'the farmers of Nebraska.” He said in_part: » “In'recent legislation, the party in Power, has admitted the unseundness of its tariff-for-revenue-only policy in the following particulars: “1. Increaging the protective tariff on dyestuffs. & “2. Reimpoging the protective tariff on/ sugar. This, however, had’ pres- sure from the south. “3. Establishing a tariff commission in the place of the republican tarif commission, which they had killed. “4, The = so-called anti-dumping “tlause, which proposes to punish im- porters who send goods into this country so cheap as to break our arket. The tariff remedy” in that particular is.doubling the rate of duty. This would make a practically »sprohibitive daty upon tobacco, rice, peanuts and Angora goat hair, but on -)'efl'n, wheat, eggs, cattle, meat and er! northwestern products, being n. the free list, doubling the’ duty, doubling nothing, wapld not be uch of a remedy.” % '3 o For Nebraska—Cloud = Tempgratures at ( \ ha Yesterday. ur. .

NAVAL OFFICERS SO HOLD | New Yyrk, Oct. 21.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Judge Advocate General Crowder, United States army, has rendered a formal decision, holdin~ that the United States is at w Mexico. 208 A decision was made necessa®¥ order to cover tlfe legal proced® ¢ dealing with numerou% incidents con- nected with the punitive expedition of | United States troops into Mexico, the | nature of these incidents, various of- fenses committed by United States soldiers, demanding that the judge advocate general's office should define the status of the Mexican campaign. In the decision, the judge advocate general quotes the definition of war in Vattel's Law of Nations as being that state of affairs in which we pros- ecute our rights by force. The decision recites: “It is thus apparent that under the law there nded be no formal declara- tion of war, but that under the defini- tion of Vattel a state of war exists, so far as concerns the operations of the United States troops in Mexico. by reason of the fact that the United States is prosecuting its right by force of arms and 4n a manner in which % war is conducted. The statutes which are operative only during a year of war have been interpreted as relating to a ‘condition and not a theory.’ “I am, therefore, of the opinion that while war is not recognized as exist- ing between the United States and Mexico, the actual conditions under which the field operations in Mexico are being couducted™ are those of actual wee ™ 2 within - the (irlfd Q folavagt- 1 % . ¢ expeditionary force o 05‘“‘ @WM® Sime of war,” within ‘m,o\‘\" _ ¢ the fifty-eighth article \ ,'since it could not have been wtended that under such conditions United tSates. soldiers would be turned over to the authorities of Mex- ico for trial." The decision~ has been carefully whthheld from publicity, and there is resentment on the pagt of adminis- tration that it has reached the pul“lc at this time, for it destroys the plea that “he kept us but of war.” That naval officers (not*officials of | the Navy departifient) believe war ac- tually and legally exists between the United States and a faetiori in Santo Domingo is made evident by an offi- cvial_letter to the Navy department from Major General George Barnett, commanding the United States marine corps, officially commending the cool- ness and daring displayed by Chap- lain Leroy N. Taylor for courageous- ly driving a:motor ambulance throtigh the fire-swept zones and exposing himself to enemy fire while succoring the wounded.

HEAYILY_’QN WILSON Mexican Policy o_!- President Is Dissected and Denounced by the Colgnel. BORDER HEARS THE GOSPEL Phoenix, Ariz., Oct. 21.—Theodore | Roosevelt spoke here this evening, dealing with the Mexican situation and the' policy pursued by President | Wilson. < \ In part he said: “What has happened to our people in Mexico and here along the border, pffers the clearest possible illustra- tion of what happens to any nation whose government behaves,with the vacillation and' timidity shown by Mr. Wilson in our foreign affairs wher- ever he has had a deal with any foe of whom he was in the slighest de- gree afraid. 1 “In Mexico when the revolution gathered headway, there were many || foreigners. There~were English, Ger- matis, {apunese and FErench. There were also Americans/ Spaniards and respected Germany, | England, Japan and France. It neither feared nor re- spected the United States or China; and_she did not believe that SpLin at the moment could act against it. In consequence it appears that dur- ing these disturbances, as far as can be gathered, there has not been one German killed in Mexico, and only one Englishman and two Frenchmen. I can not find that any Japanese were killed. These figures may not | be quite accurate, but they arg sub- stantially accurate. The minute the Frenchmen were kil{ed, the French government served “such summary!: notice on Mexico that it has been exceedingly careful not to kill any others.! ¥ British and Germans Safe. “When the Englishman, Benton, was killed, not merely did England flame up, but it is actually true that far more interest was excited in this country than was shown over all of our own men, women and children who were killed in Mexico. There have been no further outrages on the lives of British subjects. The Ger- mans are not only safe, but at Tam- | pico, for instance, enjoy special privi leges. The Japanese enjoy the same consideration. But meanwhile, ac- cording to the best information at our disposal, the Mexicans haveskill- | ed over 300 Chinese; over i meri- cans, and at least a couple of hun- dred Spaniards. I ask you to con- sider these facts. The Mexicans have not killed a single German, and only one Englisman. But they have killed several hundred Americans and sev- eral hundred Chinese. Théy class the Germans agd Englishmen as belong- ing to nafions able to protect the lives of their citizens; whereas, thanks to Mr, Wilson, they regard the Am¥icans and the Chinese as equally safe to murder, outrage and plunder.’ I ask the people of this\t country to consider these facts for themselves, and to draw their.own conclusions; ‘and if they have ordi- nary self-respect,/if they have feel- ings of ordinary patriotism, they can- not consent to continue in power the administration that is responsible for such a condition of affairs. . Wilson Evades Challenge. “Remember always that the in- famies that have been committed in Mexico have been explicitly set forth his secretary of State on June 20, last. President Wilson in the course of his efforts to shield Carranza, denounced the truthful statement of the hideous conditions in Mexico as being a_ ‘traf- fic in falsehood’ designed to ‘create intolerable friction betwecn our gov- ernment and Carranza's in the interest of certain owners of Mexican prop- erties” He made these deliberate charges on March 20th last. Senator Fall promptly challenged President Wilsqn to name these alleged con- spira&)rs, and also challenged him to make public the documents in the As always, when challenged fearlessly, President Wil- son promptly flinched. He has not dared to publish the documents in the State department, and by failing to publish the names of the alleged con- spirators during these seven months, he has admitted that this statement (Continued on Page Two, Column One.) T WILSON EXPECTS NO WAR 10 COME Detands ‘“‘Third Degree” to Test Where Men Stand on Lyyalty to Nationa i GLAD CAMPAIGN NEAR END — Long Branch, Oct. 21.—In a speech devoted primarily to a-discussion of the need for economic preparedness in the United'States President Wilson told a delegation of farmers, archi- tects and engineers here today that he did not expect the United- States to get into war. “I know that the way in which we have preserved peace is objected to,” said the president, “and that certain gentlemen say they would have taken some other way that would inevitably have resulted in war, but I am not ex- pecting this country ot)get into war, partly because I am not expecting these gentlemen to have a chance to make a mess of it” & Taking-theswork done by the ad- ministration for the farmer as -his text Mr. Wilson said: “We wan the privilege . of representitig the whole force of the nation.” I He demanded that meH be put rough a “third degree” in trespect to where they stand with regard to love of the’ United States and he said ‘he was glad the campaign was nearly over, “because I'am in a hurry to get down to busiriess agair,’ “There is a greats ble talk being indy: f irresonsi- n,” declared paign. “Men are saying t know perfectly well they cannot 3 good on and it disturbs the national counsel.

A special committee, headed by | Rev.' R. H. McKim, Washington, re- ported as favoring a plan_ of pro- portionate representation. The plan suggested will give each diocese a minimum representation of three lay and three élerical delegates, with an additional lay and clerical delegates for each 100 clergymen resident in it, the maximum %cing fixed at six lay and six clerical delegates. Representatives of smaller dio- ceses, most of which are in the west, object to the proposal, asserting it would give the larger dioceses, such as those of New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Chicago, the bal- ance of power in the convention, &K memorial for the province of the Pacific coast, asking that the con- vention go on record as favoring a general divorce law has been referred to the commission on holy matri- mony.

The Chinese police were arrested and Frenchman substituted for them. Replying to a protest from the Chinese foreign of- fice the *French legation at Peking replied it assumed the responsibility for any violence that might result from the action. The district occupied by the French is/(hickly populated, and the Chinese | are threatening violence, as they have stubbornly resisted for many years annexation to the French concession and in its protest to the French le- gation the foreign office gave warn- ing that it would not be responsible if violence resulted. The Chinese press is violently. as- sailing the cation of the French, as- serting.that it surpasses Japanese tac- tics and is actual warfare against de- fenseless China.
