The Austrian bat tleship Yiribus ITnitis arrived here to fay bearing the bodies v of Archduke Francis Ferdinand and his wife, as sassinated Sunday at Serajevo, Bosnia. From the ship they were taken in nolemn procession to the railroad sta tion to be shipped to Vienna. A party of bluejackets acted as an escort and behind the caskets marched the mem bers of the archduke's personal suito and the local officials and dignitaries. Children scattered flowers In the streets ahead of the procession and all along the route on either side, stood priests holding lighted candles in their hands and pronouncing benediction on the corpses as they pawed. The thoroughfares were packed. In the crowds the most violent expression against the Servians were heard and after the funeral train hail left the police had much difficulty in prevent ing an attack on those living here." Suspect Is Arrested. Trent, Austria, July 2. An Italian, who gave the name of Alessandrini, recently returned to Europe from Pat- tcrson, N. J., was arrested here today charged with complicity in the suc cessful plot to assassinate Archduke .Francis Ferdinand. The prisoner admitted having known of an anarchist plot to kill the arch duke but denied familiarity with the particular conspiracy which succeeded, or with Gavrio Prinzip, the Servian student who fired the fatal shots. Papers in his pockets indicated that he had been in correspondence with the leaders of the recent anti-government outbreak in Italy. In Patterson the prisoner said worked as a carpenter. he AUSTRIA KEEPS WIRES HOT. Belgrade, Servia, July 2. Ever since the Servian student, Oavrio Pnnzip, killed Archduke Ferdinand of Austria and his wife at Serajevo, Bosnia, last Sunday, the government here has been Keeping the wires' hot with messages to St. Petrsburg with a view of learn ing just what support Servia may ex pect from Russia in the event of an Austrian attempt to inflict punishment for an act which it is charged in enna was inspired from Belgrade. Though official confirmation was lacking, the report was generally cred ited that Austria has (remanded the ar rest and punishment by .Servia of the persons here said to have been involv ed in the assassination conspiracy. At the same time the Servians quite open ly rejoice nt the archduke's removal, they bitterly resent, as a national in milt, the implication that an extensive (dot to kill him was hatched in their capital. Not only was Francis Ferdi nainl hated for having maneuverc the Austrian annexation of the ittrongly Servian provinces of both Bosnia and Herzegovina, which Servia people thought it should have had when they passed frjm Turkey's control, but lie was also blamed foi having prevented the Servians from Retting their fair share of territory from the recent Balkan war and sus pected of having designs against the Test of j country s well. News of his death was received here with outspoken rejoicing and Prinzip's act was generally regardeu not as a crime but -as a deed of high patriot ism. Whether any definite assurances lave been received f-om St. Petersburg could not be learned, but - was the general belief that the czar would not allow Servia to be '-uahed bv the Aus trian, and the war spirit 1 . the atmosphere. COMMISSION GETS FIRST CASE. Case Number 1 has appeared before tne Industrial Accident commission. William Smith, a gas fitter in the em ploy of the Oregon Power company of Kugene has been reported as having been injured in the d;schargo of hi duties but no claim has been made fo; compensation to the commission. Smith was putting up some pipe when it fell and severed an artery in his wrist. As the accident was slight it is doubtful if any formal claim will be presented though the proper blanks have been forwarded to Eugene. VII 1 BATTLESHIP EFFORTS TO SAVE BOY'S LIFE FUTILE Body of Paul Reamer Recovered After Being In Water Ten Minutes, Bat Could Not Be Beiasitated. All efforts to resuscitate Paul Ream er, the 12-year-old son of Dr. E. F. Reamer, of 1605 Court street, who was drowned yesterday afternoon in North Mill creek, were fruitless, although the pulmotor of the Portland Railway, Light & Power company was rushed to aid as quickly as possible. The pul motor arrived about 20 minutes after young Reamer was taken from the wa ter and every effort made to bring him back to life. Paul was in swimming in North Mill creek along with his brother Frank. He had learned to take a few strokes a few days before but that was nil. The alarm was given by the brother, who hastened home about two blocks away. P. A. Jones recovered the body from the water, which was about five feet deep at that spot. Under the direction of Dave Pugh and Dr. Reamer, the boy's father, the crowd of people watched the efforts to bring the boy hack to lite. After a false hope had been raised at one time the work was given up. It is believed that the throat of the lad was clogged up, which hindered the successtul op erntion of the machine. . The funeral will be held Friday morn ing at 10:30 o'clock from the residence on l ourt street. Rev. Richard N. Avi son will conduct the services. Burial will be in City View cemetery. Miss Htella Graham will sing Rev. Wilkinson, of Eugene, an friend of the family, will assist. and ojd MAGAZINES HAD A NARROW ESCAPE Grass Fire For a While Threatened Magazines On Mare Wand Were Only Saved by Hard Fight.

IE FEED IH CAN'T AFFORD IT If III Dr. Green So Said in "The Burden of the Nations" at the Chautauqua WITHOUT AMERICA WORLD WOULD HUNGER The Nations' Stomachs If Not Their Minds Demand and Compel Peace With Us. That Orocron farmers, along with tho other growers of grain in the United .-dates, hold the peace of this nation in their hands and are a more mighty force i-nn glittering rows of bayonets or clanking battalions of cavulry or thousands of cmbruzured cannon; thnt no nation, however pugnacious, w.il at tnck its source of food supply or allow another nation to war ou its bread basket, were some of the stnrtling statements hurled ai tho audience nt the chautauqun Inst niit by Dr. E. E. Green, who spoke on "The Burden of the Nations." Dr. Green argued for world peace from an utterly unassailable and im pregnable position and sent home to the minds of the audience many sharp and stinging facts gathered in his tra vels in foreign lands. He was making war on war and pictured in all its hor ror the devastation that attenus an armed conflict botween rations. Ho is a polished speaker and held his audi ence with the power oi a nmsier. Can t Quarrel With Landlady. It is because England imports from the United States 15 per ceat of its food stuffs that makes tier a friend of America; it is because the United States sends to Germany 19 per cent of the food Btuff the empire imports that will hold off that war-ridden coun try from attacking us; it is because .Turmn is exhausted and staggering un der a mighty debt brought on by the war with Russia that -she cannot force a fight "why," said the speaker, "Japan could not get enough money to send a fleet across tho Pacific with coal enough in its bunkers and ammu nition enough in its hold to reach the annrpH nr the United States and fire nn hrondside and then steam back agnin."

It is then a foolish assumption to think, said the speaker, that it is necessary to burden ourselves with a (rreat standing army and a monster fleet. "The nations of the world," declar ed Dr. Green, flinging out a bristling array of facts that showed the terrime toll of war, "arc paying 65 per cent of their entire income in making prep arntions for war. In the world since history began to be written 15 bil lion men have died on the onttlc field or as the result of war. Also, since the dawn of the Christian era 1914 years ago, there liavo scarcely been one "billion minutes, whicn goes to show that war takes toll of men nt the rate of 15 each minute. And tor ail too vast amount of blood spilled and the treasure lost, the world has little to show for it as a result. War Only Relic of Barbarism. "War has never settled anything, and never will. It is generally started as the result of individual quarrels be tween rulers. After the nations have fought until they are exhausted, six men will cather about a table in a neutral territory and settfc the mutter, Why should it not have been better to have the six men sit down at the ta- ble before the war begant ROW WITH COOK "Famine no longer stalks up andjare tnat it has been no ca down the world at will, pestilence has been conquered and suffering has been eliminated, but war is tne only renc o. barbarism that still remains to bring reproach on civilization." Dr. Green, to illustrate how war takes the flower of manhood and sends . forth with beat of throbbing drums land flying colors to meet death on the I battle'f i-Wl and rot in an unknown grave while the weak and the unfit are left at home to be the futhers of j the next generation, told the story of t . i,.ti. rr.vi riin in the RnL - i nuuss, 1 . ........ - - . kn.

POSTAL RECEIPTS SHOW GAIN. Postal receipts for the months of April, May and June at the Salem postoffice exceeded by $4,582.53 uie receipts for the same period last year. The receipts taken in during the three months this year amount to $20,788.04 while in 1913 it was only $16,206.55, The in crease is 28 per cent and shows a material growth in the busi ness transacted by the Salem office. LASSEN ERUPTIONS GROW MORE VIOLENT Outburst Today One of Most Violent As Usual, It Is Followed by Heavy Thunder Storm. Redding. Cal.. July 2. Mount Lassen erupted violently again at 6:30 a. m today. The outburst was about the equal of yesterday's, which was the fiercest up to that time since the crater became active. Reports of the latest eruption came from tho forest station at .Mineral, it could not bo seen from hero on account cf the haze, which attributed to rain ute particles of volcanic matter afloat in the atmosphere. Today's outburst continued in full violence for about 30 minutes but at noon the crater was still sputtering smoke. ' All who were in the crater's vicinity nt tlio time of yesterday's eruption were behoved to tnve reached safety. In spots on the slope, those who have ascended it said, ashes are hip deep. A thunder storm following each erup tion seems to be the rule and there was a heavy one last night. TELEPHONE SYSTEM MAKING CHANGES "Give me 111 please, General," nays the local or long distance telcphoner. 'The number has been ohanged to 11- X; I will give you that number," comes the cver-plcnsant response even though it does seem unkind because of the unexpected change in numbers. But the city of Salem is growfng, es pecially in telephone service, and so in the last month alone over 40 numbers were changed. There are about 3280 local subscribers nnd 800 rural for tel ephone service. New equipment has been added at the local office with the rapid increase of patrons, and the wir ing system is being changed according ly. According to the terms of those who know, the distribution is being "centralized" and the number of jacks per station" has been changed to equal the number of ' jacks per line," and the long telephone numbors have thus been avoided and lue short er ones retained with designating pre .jtes. ine new telephone directories will go to press July 15 and will be ready for distribution about the middle of August.

IS RE WT AGREE TO He Is Told Plainly That United States Will Intervene Un less He Does So Soon MUST ALSO SETTLE QUARREL WITH VILLA This Indicates Villa Is Being Backed by the Junta and Is in Full Control Washington, July 2. The Mexican constitutionalist junta here toduy no tified General Carrnnza that he must acquiesce in the agreement reached bo tween the American and Huertista en voys at Niagara Falls or run the risk of United 3tatos intervention in Mex ico. The junta mado repented attempts to get in touch with the rebel leader yesterday, but failed. Today it suc ceeded in establishing communication with him. He was tofd pluinly that President Wilson was determined to compel the Mcxicuns to settle their quarrel between themselves and that the time seemed to have como when they must do so whuout further dc- luv. The goneral was strongly urged to consent to unofficial negotiations be tween rebel representatives and the Huertista envoys and to settle his dif ferences with General Villa immedi ately. - Conditions Aro Frightful. ' . Vera Cruz, Mex., .ruly 2. Generals Carranza -and Villa having fallen out, refugees who arrived here today said President Huerta might not attempt an immediate escape from Mexico City after all. Tuesday, it was. stated, the dictator seemed likely to make a dash for safety at any minute. Then he heard of tho Carranza-Villa clash and that Villa's advance hud ceased, and evidently made up his mind that ho had been granted a reprieve. At any rate, hero were no signs when the refugees left that he was planning a hurried depart ure. Conditions in the capital, it was said, were frightful. The fuel supply is al most completely exhausted. The poor are starving. Many shups have closed. The price of the necessaries of life are almost prohibitive.

ARM TOLD SETTLE WITH HUERTA FALSE FIRE ALARM CAUSED BY MISTAKE Auto Pumper Proves its Value, It Doing Splendid Work Both at Fires Here and in Turner. After a searching investigation into the confusion incident upon the mis take in the fire call early Wednesday morning when the Fremont Hotel burned with a loss of $35,000, C. O. Constable, who has in hand the re organization of the fire department, said this morning that although Ue matter at first looked suspicious it was nothing more than ignorance on the part of the person who sent in the first call. F. Bezemot, proprietor of the French Laundry, who was awake at the timo the fire broke out and who turned in the first alarm, is a French man and unable to talk English dis tinctly and equally as unable to nn derstood it. He phoned in the call and in his excitement told what he thought was the right location. The firemen repented the call and the Frenchman said it was right, not knowing that it was wrong. When Fire Started, Bezemot says tho fire started iu the paint shop of tho Hutchins Paint com puny and that it spread with such rapidity that it was no timo at all un til the flames were beyond control. Spontaneous combustion is believed to have started the blaze. Although the new auto pumper has not been .officially reeoived by tho ! city, according to Councilman Con stable, nor officially tested yet, it has in his opinion saved the city four times its cost, winch is $!Uinu. It has also demonstuted its value in the fire at Tumor, whence the pmiiiier was sent at the request of the town people with i the result thut it practically saved j that litle city from being entirely wiicil out bv fire. Taking into con- sideration the value of the property saved at Turner and the value of that saved Wednesday morning the pumper has paid for itself many times over. it was because of tho efficiency of this pumper in throwing streams of wator on tho tinshop occupied -,y A. L. Frazer that a tank containing 100 gal lons of gasoline was kept from ex ploding -and scattering fire in - nil , directions. Councilman Constable has I only words of praise for the work of the fire department and believes that it is better anil more efficient than it has ever been before. In completing tho re-organization, the councilman savs it will be his aim to make it the best fire fighting organization that is possible. Will Put Up Brick. Tho auto pumper was sent here by Mr. Long of the American La Franco fire engine company and placed in the station as the company's property to be tried out by the city. It is not to be accepted until tested officially and accepted by tho underwriters from Portland. Workmen began yesterday afternoon to clear away the blackened timbers that mark tho "bones" of the Fro mont Hotel and the other shops that were burned. The timbers are being burned. The loss of George F. Bodgers, to whom the property belonged, at first estimated to be about I5,000 has been increased to $19,000. The general property loss is fixed at US.OOO as estimated by the Capital Journal. Mr. Koilgers will' rebuild on the site hut as yet has not determined what kind of a structure he will erect, mis new building ho will cover fully with in surance. The loss of A. L. Frazer, which was not known yesterday, was escertained today to amount to about t,IH0, In surance in the sum of $1000 wus car ried by Mr. Frazer ami after the com pany has ad justed the loss, he will move to the Kckerlen building at tho corner of Liberty and Ferry streets and re-open his shop. AN AUTO HEARSE NOW USED IN SALEM A handsome new automobile hearse was brought to Salem Tuesday evening by R. F. Kichardsou or the rirm or Kigdon & Kichardson undertakers. The hearse is a lute design resembling closely a limousine. It is silver gray with German silver trimmings. The machine was especially designed by the Chalmers-Detroit company in Portland for Mr. Richardson at an out lay of .'!,000. The late conventional design is especially pleasing.

ROBBER KILLED BY SHERIFF 111 P Three Board Train at Kamela and Hold Up Passengers and Conductor SHERIFF M'DUFFEE GETS BUSY WITH GUN Awakened by Robbers, He Opened Fire, Dropping His Man; He Is Wounded Pendleton, Ore., July 2. One robber is dead, one injured and Deputy Sheriff Georgo McDuffee, of Heppner, Ore., is in a local hospital with a bullet wound above the heart as the result of a des perate revolver duel between the offi- c,,r all(l two bandits oarly today when westbound O. W. R. & N. overland pas senger traiu No. 5 was held up by three masked men nca Kamela, Ore. But for a brass pencil holder in his pocket deflecting the bullet, Deputy M,u,rltf McPiittoe undoubtedly would nave been killed. Ho will recover. ' 'i in me express car wa looted and a number of passengers relieved of their valuables, the booty secured will not exceed a few hundred dollars. A sheriff's posse is on the trail of the two bandits who escaped Into the Blue mountains. Secured $240 From Safo. The three highwaymen boarded the front end of the Pullman car of the train when it stopped a Kamnla to test the alrbrakes, niid presented trreir gvmi at the head of f lagman Frank Eurlo. After the train got under way tier marched Karle ahead of them through the train, picking up Conductor Wil liam Fergus, Brakeman Clyde Enoch and three Pullman porters during .-e process. Into the express car they took the crew, covering Expressman Cramp as they entered. Leaving one of their number to stand guard, two of the ban dits went forward to the engine and compelled Engineer Fred Johnson and the fireman to accompany them back to the expross car, Conductor Fergus in the meantime having brought the train to a standstill by pulling the signal cord on the robbers' orders. Under threats to dynamite the safe, Express Messenger Cramp opened the receptacle, tho robbers securing $210 in cash and sonu cheap jewelry. Duel Is Soon Over. Leaving one robber to guard the crew, tho other two proceeded through tho train robbing the passengers as they wont. One held a sack while the other cowed them with two huge revol vers. Deputy Sheriff McDutfee was in the third day coach. When the robbers reached his car they appeared nervous ami anxious to reach the Pullman sec tion of the train. The officer was sit ting in a rear seat as they passed, and immediately jumped up and fired four times, the first shot striking the robber who held the revolvers, in the head. As he fell ho spun around and fired with both weapons, but was dead al most as soon as he struck the flOoV. Tho other robber seized one of the weapons from the hnnds of his com panion and fired, tho bullet striking McDuffee over the heart. Heeing that his pal was beyond aid, the surviving robber leaped from the train, summoned his companion from the express car nnd both disappeared in tho dense timber. LaOrande, Ore., July 2. Overland passenger train No. !5 on the (. W. K. & N. railroad was held up between Meacham and Kamela, Ore., about 2:30 o'clock this morning by four masked men, nnd while two of the highwaymen were robbing the passengers in a tourist cur, Deputy Sheriff McDutfee, of Kep pner fought a revolver duel with thorn, during which one robber was killed and McDuffee slightly injured. Three of tho robbers boarded the train at Kamela, ami after it had run several miles entered tho rear Pullman car, covered the Pullman conductor and porter with revolvers, marched them in to the Pullman ahead, where the train conductor, another Pullman porter and the head brakeman were subdued. The entire party was then taken to the baggage car. The tram conductor was compelled to pull the signal cord, and when the train came to a standstill tne fireman and engineer were taken prisonors and placed in the baggage car with the rest of tho crew. With one robber on guard over them the other two proceeded through tho train, robbing the passengers. When the third coach was reached, Deputy Sheriff McDuffee, who was a pas senger, was aroused from sleep, and tak ing in the situation at a glance, opened fire. One of the robbers was struck in (Continued on page . DEPUTY ATTEMPTED LD
