The streets decora flags, boughs of nd many colored hangings, and at t places temporary open air al- had been erected. The procession started from the Hof- burg, proceeded to the cathedral on the Stefansplatz, where the religious ceremo- nies were held, and then returned to the Hofburg. tars Gorgeous colors, crimson, gold and sil- | ver, magnificent uniforms and trappings, glowing tunics, the clanking march of soldiers and the silent tread of the clergy in strange contrast, the flashing of jew- els and the glare in the sunlight of the white robes of the priests, brilliant splen- dor and silent prayers marked the prog- ress of the sacred and military procession | in honor of the consecrated host. The lesser clergy came first. Then equerries, pages and others of the impe- rial household. Kettle drummers in gala uniform, the court chamberlains, many high personages of state, generals and | other high military officers followed. The host was borne by the Archbishop of Vienna, surrounded by prelates of the | church, and after him came the Emperor. In former years it was the custom to | aalk, but now, because of his age, he rides. He appeared to-day in a gala coach drawn by eight royal white horses, and was accompanied by Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the successor to the throme. The. bther Archdukes, all in magnificent uniforms, With royal carriages, came after the Emperor. The procession marched to the main entrance ©of the cathedral and went in through the broad doors facing on the Stefensplatz. After the religious cere- monies it took its way back to the Hof- burg over another line of march in order to give the people of the city increased opportunities to witness its large pa- geantry. From balconies of the palace the procession was witnessed by the | Archduchess and her children. The ceremony came to an end with the defiling before the Emperor of the troops which had taken part therein. ————————— American flag and shield bon-bon boxes, also candy-loaded cannon and firecrackers are some of the Fourth of July Novelties at Haas' Candy Stores, Phelan bldg. and James Flood bldg. * is accused of murdering | son the little one, | face | creature | | Struggle With Russia for Possession of India BRITAIN IS UNPREPARED General Declares Existing Arms for Defense Are Obsolete and Imeffective LONDON, June 22.—General Lord Kitchener, commander in chief of the British forces in India, seems to regard as inevitable a great struggle with Rus- sia for the possession of India and to be- lieve that the existing arms for defense of the Indian empire are altogether obso- | lete ahd ineffective. These views"form the | | striking and central points of interest in | a blde book issued to-night, dealing with | | the recent conflict of opinfon between | | Viceroy Curzon and Lord Kitchener, | | which the Government has just settled by a compromise, giving the latter ex- | | tended powers in the direction he desired. Lord Kitchener, in an important min- ute addressed to the home Government, speaks in the plainest possible terms in denouncing the faulty system prevailing in India, which, he points out, has not changed since the time of the mutiny and which was framed to meet peace re- quirements instead of the possibility of a great war. He describes the situation as one entalling endless discussion and de- lay, as well as great expenditure, with poor results. In a pregnant paragraph Lord Kitchener says: Slowly but surely the deserts of Central Asta, once believed to be an impenetrable bar- rier, have been crossed by a great European power. They are now spanned by rallways which have only one possible significance, and | | we have every indication that our northern +| neighbor {s pushing forward her preparations for a contest in which we shall have to fight for our existence. In conclusion, Lord Kitchener instances Japan as having shown what was possi- ble by -thoroughly modern methods in army administration, while the disas- trous consequences to Russia give the other side of the picture. He urges that there is danger in hesitating to break the chains of custom and tolerance of ad- — WA AIN 0 1S BEING TRIED FOR THE MURDER OF HER CHIL!

The influential press. evidently in accordance with the wishes of the Gov- ernment, refrains from discussing the military aspect, asserting that the ne- gotiations, while in a delicate stage, continue normal. Gloomy sentiment increased during the afternoon. On the Bourse rentes suffered the ususual decline of more than 40 centimes. Much excitement ac- companied the trading. One of the alarmist reports was that Prince Rado- lin, the German Embassador. had left Paris for Berlin, the intimation being that his departure was due to the un- satisfactory nature of the French note. A diplomat who took lunch with Prince Radolin at nooon to-day said the report was absurd, as not the slightest word had been received concerning the atti- tude which the German Government in- tended to take. The evening papers sought to allay public uneasiness. The semi-official Temps expressed the Government view that the exchange of notes would serve to remove false impressions and pro- duce a durable agreement. if Germany were prepared to reciprocate the con- cillatory advances of Rouvier. Premler Rouvier, in the lobby of the Chamber, replying to several Deputies, who expressed anxiety regarding the cause of weakness on the Bourse, said that pessimistic reports relating to the foreign situation were absolutely un- founded and that the Franco-German negotiations were pursuing a course. It is considered probable. that the French note forwarded to Germany will be semi-officially communicated to the powers signatory to the Madrid con- vention. normal | DETECTES Hunt Up Witnesses to En- lighten Them on Methods ~ of Beef Trust’s Buyers i ———i POOL SAID TO EXIST Ranchers Claim They Are Compelled to Sell Without the Benefit of Competition CHICAGO, June 22.—The work of the Federal Grand Jury investigating the beef industries to-day showed that the members of the inquisitorial body have been playing the part of detectives in finding witnesses who may enlighten them on certain points concerning the buying of cattle by the packers. As a result of this detective work by the jurors, Frederick Wood of Hamp- shire, IlL, Christopher Barphardt of Wilmington, Ill., and E. C. Scholes, a cattle feeder from Burlington, Ill, testi- fled before the jury to-day and explained the troubles a cattle shipper has when selling his livestock in the Chicago mar- ket. J. A. Ridgeley, general freight agent for the Louisville and Nashville railroad, was another witness this after- noon’ tozether with two traffic men whose identity was closely guarded by the Federal officials. After leaving the jury room Scholes said: “I told the jurors that the buyers of livestock in the Chicago market seem to have off days and regular days for the bidding. They generally bid on Wednes- days and Saturdays at the yards, and generally the prices are uniform.™ Scholes intimated that on one day one of the buyers would bid, and if the ship- per was dissatisfied he would wait until the next day, only to be confronted wifh a similar bid, and so on until he was finally forced to sell his cattle or have the profits eaten up by feeding charges at the yards. —_———————— Trying to Break the Will of Mrs. Hovyt.

Rogers, the condemned murderess, was signed this afternoon by Governor Bell, and for the third time the woman, who was to have been hanged at Wind- sor to-morrow for the murder of her husband, has been saved through the operation of the Governor's power. To- day’s reprieve was granted in order that the case may be carried to the Supreme Court of the United States on constitutional questions whichk were raised at a hearing before Judge Hoyt | H. Wheeler, sitting as a Justice of the United States Circuit Court. Mrs. Rogers’ attorney had petitioned for her release om a writ of habeas cor- pus. The court declined to grant the petition, but suggested that the points of law raised by the petitioner were such as to be passed upon by the Su- preme Court of the country. The refusal of the Judge to grant the writ was at once followed by the filing of an appeal. Judge Wheeler there- upon announced that he would render his decision on the question of appeal late in the afternoon, in order to give Governor Bell an opportunity to re- prieve Mrs. Rogers. This aftérnoon Judge Wheeler re- ceived a message from Governor Bell ‘at White River Junctiop announcing that Mrs. Rogers had been reprieved. The Judge at once signed the papers which gave Mrs. Rogers the legal right to have her case héard by the Supreme Court of the United States. WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, Vt., Juns 23.—The scaffold, which had been ready for the execution to-morrow of Mrs. Mary M. Rogers, will be taken down in the morning. After signing the reprieve Governor Bell in an interview said: “There is nothing more to be said now. You know we all bave to change our minds.” TWICE RENOVED FAON THE MY Recent Dismissal of Pay| Inspector | llivan Recalls“ Old Story of a Shortage| gl i Epecial Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREA POST BUILDING, WASHINGTON, June 22.—The recent dis- missal by order of the Presigent of Pay Inspector John Clyde Sullivan of the United States navy ends a career in the naval service probably without precedent by reason of the fact that the disgraced officer has been twice summarily dis- missed from the navy. Sullivan was appointed from Ohio dur- ing the term of office of Secretary of the Navy Hunt. He had a somewhat tum- ultuous time in various parts of the | world and came ‘to grief at the Mare | Island Navy Yard, California. Charges were brought against him in | effect that he was short in his accounts to the extent of several thousand dollars. pector was detailed to examine his | books, but before his arrival Sullivan | went ashore from a vessel in the harbor | to which he was attached, proceeded to Vallejo and called upon several persons | to whom he was indebted, telling them. it is claimed, that he needed about $12,000 temporarily.

His creditors took a further chance and advanced him the required amount with the understanding that the loan would be for a short time only. Sul- livan then repaired to his ship to place in his safe the money necessary to cover up his alleged defalcations. | It had become well known about the Mare Isiand Navy Yard that the pay- | master was in financial difficulties and officer that when he came aboard from | his trip to Vallejo he should be placed | splendid assortment of fancy cheviots, in shades of gray and brown, ranging from light to dark effects. just the patterns wanted for summer wear. prices $10 and $12.50; closed out for $7.45. trimmed, cifferent styles; 4 only, $5.00; $1.35. .
