BOLIVIA AND PERU Mrs. Gibson Demonstrating Schram Jars Today 'Canning CherriesBeets OH VERGE OF ortman Organ of Montes Admits Arbi tration Award Has Forced Issue. ursday--Housekeepers Day j FEARS THAW WOULD KILL HER IF RELEASED. ! j (&z King Th BUT DOES NOT DESIRE WAR diplomatic Relations Willi Argentine Ruptured and People Call for Enrollment in Army to -iglit Tcru. LA PAZ. Eolivla. July 21. The Xrtarlo In a se.-r.I-off tclal editorial says: "Argentine has placed Bolivia and Fern In an extremely delicate situation. The object of arbitration was to seal the permanent friendship of the two nations, but the ;nofiftrous Injustice ft the award has resulted in placing them on the verse of war. "The Argentine press says Bolivia's repudiation means war with Peru. We io not wlHh auch an extreme. Neither Peru nor liollvla is prepared for war. A solution should be found in the way f peace and equity, avoiding a des perate situation." The recall of the Argentine Minister. pnor Kons.oa. who his heen stationed here throughout the disorderly events leading up to the present crisis, was fol lowed almost simultaneously by the re moval of the Bolivian Minister stationed at Buenos Ayivs. On the departure of the Bolivian Minister from Argentina, he was ord'TPd to turn over the archives to lne American. Chilean or Brazilian lega tions. The rupture of diplomatic relations was announced after extended official confer ences, held yesterday, at which efforts were made to meet the aggressive atti tude assumed by Argentina, and at the same time allay the growing; popular agi tatlon In Bolivia. The spirit of the people was ahown In monster petitions asking to be enrolled in the army, the petl.loners asserting un conditional support of the governmen cause in ease of an armed conflict. The fueling that hostilities may occur ihonn by the continued departure of mir.y Argentine and Bolivian resident! The cause of Argentina's breaking off of diplomatic relations, as stated here, is a circular issued by President Montes to the provincial governors of Bolivia, re ferring in slighting and offensive terms to Argentina's decision against Bolivia In the pending Peru-Bolivia boundary dl pute. Argentina also takes offense i President Montes' orders to the munici pality of La Paz to suspend the centenary ftes which have been going on. In view of Argentina's adverse action, which is regarded as a national misfortune. These two steps by President Montea are con strued by Argentina as incompatible with a dignined continuance of friendly diplo matic relations. . ?y, -v:';; -- I :? i I s rv J i : r - j ! ! f t . it ' I lh ' ; " . -.1 ) I ' '- i Ik.

Finally the defendants reconveyed the land to the Government, paying about $40,000 for coal extracted. "This is a striking Instance of results obtained through Investigations made by the special service force of the General Land Office," It la declared in the state ment today, "and- the policy of dispos ing of the public lands containing coal at prices based upon their Intrinsic value. Under the former method of disposing of coal lands, these lands were subject to salo at 110 and $20 an acre, or a totf.l price for the township of about $469,000, if sold at the maximum price. At the prices now fixed, the lands in thia town ship are worth $831,000. During June, coal lands which had been withdrawn were classified and restored to entry, the total valuation of which amounts to $18, 543,232. At the old prices, these lands were worth $7,650,000. Since about 60 per cent of these lands are subject to disposal by the Government at the prices fixed, the revenue derived therefrom will be about $6,000,000 lu excess of what It would have been under the former policy. BT I.L.OYD F I.ONTCRGAN. JfEW YORK, July ZL (Special.) People who do not know the facts in the case have expressed surprise that Evelyn Nesblt Thaw should vigorously op pose the efforts of her husband to get out of the Matteawan Insane Asylum. But the woman's friends knew, she would act as she did that is, if she kept her nerve. which many of them openly doubted. When the more or less chuckle-headed Jury acquitted Thaw and the Judge sent him to the asylum. District Attorney Je rome, who was in court, turned to one of his newspaper chums. Says Thaw 'Will Go Gunning. "If Harry ever gets free." he snld, "he will buy a large, business-like looking re volver, and go gunning for the 'Angel Child' and me. He wants my scalp be cause he believes I prosecuted him too bltterlv. Some things he has learned about his wife make him anxious to kill her. I can look after myself, but If I was the 'Angel Child I would take to the tall timber." Evelyn Thaw haa said the same thing. She has told friends that her life Is in danger, and she knows Harry will take her life. Of course, while he was safe with the maniacs, she continued to pose as the devoted wife, but it was only a pose, for her life has been one long- drawn-out dread that the man who went to prison for her sake would commit another murder In which she would have the star part. Thaw May FIfrure aa Corpse,. A lawyer who entered the case as Thaw's counsel and later represented the wife Is another person who has "that un easy feeling." He has been practicing at a local shooting gallery, and carries a revolver around in his outside coat i pocket. Mr. Jerome has also stated what ' he means to do. It is a safe bet that if young Mr. Thaw goes on the warpath again, he may figure the corpse this time, for the fate of Stanford White has warned the men Thaw has threatened since he went to ail.
