NATIONAL FEELING IS HIGH War Issues Injected Into De bate on Constitution. BOND OF LANGUAGE URGED William Barnes lrcIart- Limitation of Franchise to Tlioi-e Who Can Head and Write English Is Vital. ALBANY. X. Y, Aug. S3. A proposed amendment to the state constitution providing that all voters be able to read and write English, was advanced to th order of final passage by the constitutional convention today by a vote of TO to (1. Advancement of the measure was preceded by tha stormiest session of the convention. In which National feel ing ran high, and frequent references wer made to the war and Its possible effect on this country. ' Bond of Laaawage Advocated. Speakere for the proposal Included William Barnes. They contended that th ability to read and write English would tend to cement the American people more closely together and in crease patriotism. Opponents argued that an educational qualification was unnecessary and would tend to restrict Immigration. Delegate Frank Mann Injected the war atmosphere Into tha debate. He referred particularly to an argument that "the American people are con fronted with possibilities of war with a power many of whose people are In this land, and at this time those peo ple who have not learned the English language and who are .reading papers in sympathy with thla foreign country are a menace." Ceraaaa Proad of Aaeeatora. "I am a proud descendant of the German race." Mann said, "and I never have been ao proud of It as during- th last year In observing the achieve ments of the nation ot my ancestors. Th only reason Germans In America read German papers Is that they ax tbe only source of truth Germans get about the war In Europe." In supporting the proposal Mr. Barnes declared that giving the fran chise only to those wbo can read and write English was vital. "A nation that speaks different lan guagea never can be entirely a united nation. he said. ."We are establishing what really would be a atate language for tha purpose of unifying our people. Our ballot Is written in English and In order for tho voter to vote properly and Intelligently he should be able to real what la on the ballot." oeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeee-eieT I HERE'S SOMETHING EASY. ,,, 111....

HATRED OF ALLIES INTENSE ntt Pro-German Utterances, Love of Parishoner, Recalled. LIFE OFTEN THREATENED Clergyman in Slav-Lithnanian Com munity Found Dead, After Re ceiving Anonvmous , letters, With AVonnd in Tliroat. GARY, Ind.. Aug. 25. (Special.) Federal and state authorities tonight were endeavoring to establish a mo tive for the murder of Rev. Edmund Kayser. pastor of St. James Evangel ical Lutheran Church of Tolleston, Ind., a suburb of Gary, who was shot and killed in his home late last night by several persons, who bound his body with cord and left it in a nearby lot Three reasons for which men have died since man, was born war, women, money loom tonight in the shadows behind the murder. The pastor's agi tation on behalf of Germany and his bitter hatred for the United States, as well as the allies, for months had been notorious. Woman Mentioned la Caae. One theory advanced by H. B. Sny der, postmaster of Tolleston, was that the preacher's tragic end was the cul mination of a series of anonymous let ters which he had received warning him to cease his attentions to a woman In Gary. "Several months ago Mr. Kayser turned over to me a batch of threaten ing letters." said Postmaster Snyder. "The letters warned him to cease his attentions to a Gary woman. A postal Inspector questioned the woman, who denied having any relations with the pastor." The identity of the woman became known tonight. She Is Mrs. Mary Krause. one of his parishioners, and wife and mother. German-American Colony Founded. Rev. Mr. Kayser was the founder of the colony of Tolestone. a German American settlement on the Indiana sand dunes, and it la related that he had expressed an ambition to be a pseudo-Kaiser over the community. . Outstanding facts of the murder are: Rev. Mr. Kayser has been attacked frequently because of his unbridled ut terances on behalf of his native land Germany during the present war. A secret "inner committee of pro-allies-had proscribed his life in solemn coun cil. He had been bombarded with anonymous letters to this end. He had demanded police protection and applied 'Concluded on FageS, column 2.) Wednesdays War Moves N OFFICIAL report issued tonight afjL regarding recent operations on the Galllpoli Peninsula set at rest rumors which have been in circulation for sev eral days crediting British trops either with having cut oft or outflanked the Turkish forces opposed to them. The report says that while the ground gained is of great value, the true ob jective has not been reached. In the first attacks early in the month the .Australians and New Zea landers reached the summit of Sari Bahr and Chank 3ahr, commanding positions ofj t coast of the pen'- cOul i-b' h the failure of ."J" . io ,r. at Sulva Bay to etfle -e.ress expected, the colo SV' ere compelled to fall back. Another attack was made last Saturday, but on this occasion, having lost the advantage of surprise, the British could not reach the summit and were com pelled to retire again. The report admits heavy British losses, but adds that those of the Turks must have been heavier. Although the British hold a front of 12 miles along the west side of the peninsula and at some points have penetrated a considerable distance Into the interior, the Turks are making a stubborn defense of their positions, but the allies have confidence that with the strong forces at their com mand and the .assistance of the fleet, the Dardanelles will be forced before the arrival of the unfavorable weather, which is due towards the end of Sep tember. Weather conditions also are playing a part in the operations on the eastern front It is reported that the roads in Courland are softening already as the result of continued rains and that the Germans are finding it more difficult to move forward their artillery. They are still trying, however, to force back the Russians who are holding the line be tween the rivers Aa and Dvina. and say they have been successful at one point at least General Eichhorn, who captured Kovno, is advancing eastward, accord ing to Berlin, while progress is re ported by each of the five armies which are marching on Brest-Litovsk. One of these armies that on the southwest front is said to have broken through one of the advanced positions of the fortress. General Eichhorn's plan ap parently is to march rapidly on Vilna and, after occupying that town, to at tempt an advance to Minsk, thus plac ing his army on the Russian line of retreat from the Bug, while Field Marshal von Mackensen and Prince Leopold of Bavaria continue their efforts to envelop Brest-Litovsk. As Grand Duke Nicholas still has several lines of retreat open to him and his rearguards heretofore have shown their ability to hold off the Austro- wermans until tneir retirement was effected, military writers of the allies do not believe this plan will succeed. The only event of , importance re ported from the western front is the re capture by the Germans of a portion of a trench they lost to the French in the Vosges. Elsewhere it has been only a repetition of artillery, hand grenades and mine fighting. Heavy fighting continues on the Austro-Italian front and the Italians say they have captured the head of the Stimo Valley in the Tonale zone. AliKuat 38, 1914.

OBEDIENCE TO BOARD IS CAUSE New Phase Placed on Friendly Suit Agreement. BREACH OF FAITH CHARGED State Engineer Advises Clilet Dep uty Vouchers Will Not Be Ap proved and Secretary Olcott to Be Asked to Audit. SALEM, Or., ' Aug. 25. (Special.) The controversy as to whether' John H. "Jewls, State Engineer, or E. I. Cantlne, chief deputy highway englneeiVNis.tha acting state highway engineer', as sumed another angle today, when mem bers of the State Highway Commission announced that Mr. Lewis had at tempted to discharge Mr. Cantine. The reason given by Mr. Lewis was that Mr. Cantlne had decided to disregard his orders and obey those of the Board. Governor Withycombe and State Treasurer Kay, composing a majority membership of the Commission, ex pressed themselves as being unable to understand why Mr. Lewis had at tempted summary action in view of his agreement a few days a pro that a friendly suit be brought to settle the controversy. Breach of Faith Charged. While loath to make the statement, both said they knew of no other way to describe the action of Mr. Lewis other than a breach of faith. A meeting of the Commission has been called for tomorrow, when Gov ernor Withycombe and State Treasurer Kay will vote to direct Mr. Cantine to continue in charge of the work. Secretary of State Olcott has not divulged his attitude as to this phase of the case. In his letter to Mr. Cantine, Mr. Lewis says he will not approve vouchers for work done under the supervision of Mr. Cantine. Secretary of State Olcott will then be asked to audit the vouchers, and, if he declines to do so, it is prob able that a mandamus suit to compel hfm to audit them will be filed. It is believed that if the suit is filed all phases of the controversy will ba placed before the courts for determina tion. State Treasurer Amazed. Charles L. McNary, Supreme Court Justice, will represent the Governor and State Treasurer in case of litigation. and Attorney-General Brown probably will represent Mr. Lewis. "I am amazed that Mr. Lewis should have violated his agreement that a friendly suit be filed to end this con troversy, said State Treasurer Kay. "The members of the Board and Mr. Lewis agreed to the arrangement, and it was understood that nothing more would be done until Attorney-General Brown had agreed on a form of friendly suit "This action of Mr. Lewis is not only a violation of the agreement, but of the highway law. The law provides that the chairman of the Commission, who is the Governor, shall appoint a chief deputy for the State Engineer, who shall have charge of the highway work, and Mr. Lewis has no power to discharge him." Conftictlnic Orders Given. orders oiven. that he did. not de- j :hway engineer, Mr. t' T nended law became sted that under his V ell as that of Attor- XV While declaring that he did. not de sire to be state highway Lewis, since the ame operative, has insisted interpretation as well ney-General Brown, he is the actual highway engineer. Governor Withy combe and State Treasurer Kay have contended that Mr. Cantine under the law was the active highway engineer. Finally the board instructed Mr. Can tine to take orders and report to it and not to take orders and report to Mr. Lewis. It was the announcement of Mr. Cantine that he would obey the instruc tions of the board that caused Mr. Lewis to attempt to discharge him. Mr. Lewis' letter of discharge Is as follows: "I deem it advisable to confirm In writing the substance of our various conversations "since the meeting of the State Highway Commission on Au gust 1. Reason for Discharge Explained. "At this meeting you gave the Com mission to understand that you would not in tho future follow my Instruc tions in connection with certain high way work. It therefore becomes neces sary for me to dispense with your fur ther services. "You will, of course, understand that this office will not assume any respon sibility for work which you may per form In the future, nor will it approve vouchers on accounts In connection with such work. I trust that this action will not in any way disturb the friendly personal relations which have existed between us In the past." Famous Irish Dramatist Dies. NEW YORK.
