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.

patentees to recover the lands. 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.

THAWS MOTHER WRITES BOOK
Scores Jerome Bitterly and Also
Criticises Infinity Experts.
WHITE PLAINS. X. Y.. July 21. The
prosecutors of Harry K. Thaw are critl-
Ised and Insanity experts scored in a
yv-pafce booklet which Mra. Mary Copley
Thaw, mother of Thaw, issued here to-
It bears the title "The Secret Un
filed" and alleges the existence of a
cowardly combination" against Thaw
nd the taking of unusual oppressive
leasures In his case. His entire sanity
at present Is strongly asserted.
Mrs. Thaw refers bitterly to District
Attorney Jerome, who. she says, "haa on
four occasions left the responsibility of
his own district to pursue the case Into
a district within which, as he himself ac
knowledges, he has no jurisdiction."
COAL LAND IS RESTORED
Government Action In Wyoming
Adds Greatly to Valuations.
WASHINGTON. July "1. Announce
ment was made today that the Depart
ment of the Interior has just classified as
coal land and restored to the nubile do
main, certain unappropriated lands In the
Evans ton land district. Wyoming-, fixing;
the price for disposal of the tracts there
in some cases as high as $500 an acre. This
land contains one of the finest coal veins
in the West. The tract was included in
the lands Involved in what was known
as the Horse Thief Canyon cases. In
vestigation some months aso by special
rents of the Department disclosed that
the title to much of the most valuable
land in that part of Wyoming had been
secured from the Government through
fraud, and suit was instituted against the
Interstate Commission Against
Shippers on Majority of Points.
WASHINGTON, July 21. In an opin
ion announced today the Interstate
Commerce Commission disposed finally
of 73 cases. All complaints requested
reparation for alleged unreasonable
charges for the shipment from Eastern
points of wooden furniture to San
Francisco, Los Angeles and other points
on the Pacific Coast. Most of the com
plaints were dismissed.
The complaints involved the lawful
ness of various minimum carload
weights applied by transcontinental
tariffs to the shipment of furniture,
declared the rates were unreasonable.
but that in each case the unreasonable
ness arose from an alleged unlawful
imposition of minimum carload weig;hts.
In 13 of the cases reparation was
granted by the commission. Sixty-one
cases were dismissed.
The casts affect nearly all of the
railroads from the Atlantic to the Paci
fic engaged in transcontinental business.
