Dublin, July 27. Bent on tho slaugh
tor of the soldiers who fired into a
home rule crowd Sunday, killing four
and wounding 80-odd, a furious mob
today stormed the local barracks, broke
down the gatos and exchanged several
fchots with the troop3 before the police
succeeded in scattering the people.
The outbreak was a renewal of the
disorders which continued all of last
night and only ceased when those en
gaged in them were forced by exhaus
tion to snatch a few haurs' slumber.
The authorities had hoped quiet was
permanently restored but as the day
advanced throngs began to assemblo
ngain about the barracks and finally
the rushes against them were resumed
with even greater violence than before.
Many in the crowd had firearm's.
Nearly all carried heavy black thorn
clubs and brickbats, and cobblestones
Hew in showers. The troops were heav
ily outnumbered, and but for the police
the soldiers might have fared badly.
The blueeoats.. had won. the people's
Rood will by refusing yesterday to at
tack the crowds, and succeeded, rather
by persuasion than force, in dispersing
them.
There was every indication, howover,
that there would be more" attacks on the
barracks, and urgent messages were
scot to the London war office, repre
Hcnting that peace would not be possi
ble tintil the King's Own Scotch Bor
derers, who were responsible for Sun
day's tragedy, were withdrawn.
It was expected orders to this effect
would soon be received. Some even
predicted that it would be hard work
to get the troops out of Dublin alive.
Dublin, July 27. Catholic Ireland
was in a violent state of excitement
today over Sunday's killing of four
persons and the wounding of 67 by
troops who had been attempting the
disarmament of home rule gun-runners
at Howth, ten miles from Dublin.
The government's order agaiust the
importation of arms into Ireland, was
intended primarily to prevent the arm
ing of the Ulster anti-home rulers, who
were threatening civil war if the home
rule bill passed. It was effective also
against the home rulers, however. In
view of the "antis' " threats and of
the fact that they were smuggling
quantities of weapons into the coun
try in defiance of the order, the na
tionalist volunteers were anxious to pro
vide themselves similarly.
Arrangements had accordingly been
made for a landing at Howth Sunday
afternoon. The Dublin volunteers re
ceived orders earlv in the dav to
march to a destination unknown ex
cept to the officers; arrived at Howth
just after noon aud found awaiting
them a yacht, its name printed out,
which immediately begun unloading
rifles.
Members of the royal Irish con
stabulary tried to interfere but stood
no chance against the hundreds of dis
ciplined volunteers who opposed them.
Coast guards also approached in the
yacht in a launch but were kept off at
the pistols point by three men and an
equal number of women, who consti
tuted the crew.
10,000 Rifles Landed.
Ten thousand rifles and a quantity
of ammunition having been landed, the
yacht put to sea again after putting
ashore one of the three women, who
started for Dublin by automobile.
In the meantime the Dublin author
ities had been notified. It was im-
possiDie to get reinforcements to Howth
in time to prevent the landing but aj

constables and 100 of the King's Own !
Scottish Borderers were rushed to the!

to intercept the volunteers as they re
turned to Dublin.
The volunteers made a detour to
eater the city by a different route but
encountered another force of soldiers.
The latter started to disarm them and
actually had taken their weapons from
a few when someone it is. not certain
whether a soldier or a volunteer
fired. Several shots were exchanged
and two soldiers were wounded.
Taking advantage of the eonfusion,
the volunteers bolted into the city,
most of them getting safely to their
homes with their rifles.
The soldiers then started to march
back to their barracks. The people,

CAILUI JURI IN

Another Duel Probable Over
Testimony of Caillaux
This Morning
CALLED BERSTEIN
DESERTER FROM ARMY
Anonymous Threats of Death
Received by Jurors; Bern
stein Will Challenge
Paris, July 27. Madame Henriette
Caillaux, on "trial rere for killing Editor
Gaston Calmotte of 'Le Figaro'', was
near complete collapse today. Stimul
ants had to be administered to her
hypodermically before she could enter
the courtroom.
Reports were current that the jurors
had received anonymous threats of
death if thev returned a verdict of
euiltv.
Dr" Eugene Doyen testified that Cal
metto's wound should not have proved
fatal that proper treatment would
have saved his life.
Doyen is one of the most famous
surgeons in France. As a practitioner,
however, he is entirely unorthodox,
with the result that, while many peo
ple almost idolize him, others, especial
ly in medical circles, hate him bitterly.
It was considered certain that his
testimony would start a violent con
troversy. Mine. Caillaux wanted him
as a witness at her preliminary hearing
but the magistrate refused to summon
him. -r - -A
duel between Mme. Caillaux 's hus
band, ex-Finance Minister Joseph Cail
laux, and Henry Bernstein, the author
and playwright, was expected today as
an outcome of the trial.
Bernstein testified last week .that
from things Calmette told him he was
convinced the editor never made
30,000 franc offer, as the defense
asserted he did, to his society
editress to arrange a meeting between
himself and Caillaux 's first wife, from
whom the defonse maintained he hoped
to secure documents for use against j
Caillaux.
Caillaux, on the stand again today to
amplify some of his previous testimony,
referred in a casual way but evidently
by intention, to Bernstein as a deserter
from the army.
The author, who was in the court
room, leaped to his feet with an angry
retort. Caillaux ignored him at the
time, but a challenge was considered
certain.
Caillaux having finished his testi
mony, Bernstein insisted on being heard
in reply. His testimony, which had
nothing whatever to do with the case,
consisted of a bitter arraignment of
Caillaux 's political record and a de
nial of the latter 's insinuation against
him.
Caillaux partisans in the court room
hissed him frequently and the disorder
finally reached such a point that the
room was cleared of spectators.

H. W. MEYERS STARTS
EAST THIS EVENING
Will Spend a Month Selecting Tall and
..Winter Stock for the New and En
larged Department Store.
H. W. Meyers, of the Meyers depart
ment store, is en his way to the East,
on his regular fall buying, trip. He
went to Portland in his motor car and
will begin his railway journey to the
Atlantic coast this evening. He will
be absent at least a month and will
visit Chicago, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Washington and New York and othor
large centers while away. His object
is to make the selections for the finer
class of goods to be ordered and placed
on sale for the fall and winter wear in
Sulnm. In New York city, where he
will spend considerable time, he will
meet the large importers as tney ar
rive direct from Paris, London and the
other European points of supply and
will be given an opportunity to look
over their displays of the very latest
creations and fabrics that fashion has
decreed. His task will be greater this
year than ever before, because the va
ricty of garments is larger and offers
a much wider range of selection, and al
so because the Meyers store is to carry
a bieser stock this year than ever.
In the many departments of the big
stores like Meyers, there is Buch a di
versity of articles and so many of
them are sold in the course of a year
that the matter of buying them is very
important. Some of them are not sold
through jobbers, so Mr. Meyers makes
it a point to visit the factories, study
ing tho manner of their production ana
buying direct from the makers. Sev
eral departments are to be added this
year, and he will select the stock for
them also.
The work of remodeling tho Meyers
st(jre is being carried on as fust as pos-
sible. The present shoe section is-to
give way to the ladies' ready-to-wear
department( an,j it X3 hoped to have the
change made by Thursday, after which
his department will open directly
on Court street.
On the second floor many feet of
new-Btyle oak cabinets are being put
in for the display of quilts, blankets,
Z;etc. The system is the very latest in

ton, who has devoted much attention
to greater efficiency through the econ
omy of time, space, etc.

V
COURT SUSTAINS :
THE BLUE SKY LAW
Judge Wolverton Held That Commis
sioner Watson Had the Bight to Oust
National Mercantile Company.
Portland, i Ore., July 27. The const!
tutionality of the Btate "blue sky'
law was upheld in the United States
district court here today when Judge
Wolverton . rendered an opinion declar
iue that Corporation Commissioner R,
A. W atson had a right to oust tne in a
ttonal Mercantile company, Ltd., of
Vancouver, B. C, from carrying on its
business of securing loans in the stats.
The decision was in a suit tiled by
tho National Mercantile company in
wnich it was alleged the "blue aky"
law was unconstitutional.
The evidence in the suit was beard
by three federal judges sitting en banc.
In commenting on the character of
tho company, Judge Wolverton 'g opin
ion read:
"While we are not assured that tho
business carried on can be characterized
as a lottery, yet from a cursory exam
ination of the scheme under which the
company makes its supposed loans and
prosecuted its project, we are not at
all persuaded that it is not engaged in
a fraudulent business. '
Judge Wolverton sustained Commis
sioner Watson's contention that the
credentials of the company to operate
in Oregon were insufficient to entitle it
to a certificate from the department of
corporations.
THE CASE AGAINST
RICHARDS DISMISSED
The cas of the state against J. M.
Kichards, of Portland, the man who
is alleged to have circulated the "A. P.
A." petition, was dismissed today on
a motion of District Attorney Kingo,
on the grounds of insufficient evidence.
Kichards was indicted by the grand
jury at its last session on the testimony
of li. II. McMahon and it was charged
in the indictment returned July 3 that
he "unlawfully printed and circulated
a circular relating to the primary elec
tion and certain candidates, not bear
ing on its face the name of the author,
printer and publisher." This waa held
to be in violation of the corrupt prac
tices act and Kichards was arrested in
Portland and released upon $250 bail,
which he furnished.
L. H. McMahan was a candidate for
the nomination l'or governor at the re
cent primary election, and it is said
that he claimed that the circulation or
this so-called "A. P. A." ticket was
instrumental in defeating him for the
nomination.
After the indictment, however, it ap
pears from tne district attorney that
McMahan lost interest in the case and
he has failed to produce the evidence
promised, aud as a result Mr. Dingo
made the motion today to dismiss the
case.
' The ca:e of the state against Stanley
Mi.Ier was' also dismissed on the
grounds Of insulficient evidence. This
is an old caa that has been on the
books since Gail H. Hill was prosecut
ing attorney.

Berlin. July 27. A conference

Messagos from every old-world cnpi
tal indicated a belief thnt tho kaiser
alone, if anyone, can avert the blood
iest struggle in the world 's history.
His majesty arrived by special train,
traveling at torrific speed, from Kiel,
where ho landed following the abrupt
termination of his cruiso in Norwegian

At the station ho was met by the
crown prinee and three members of his
cabinet. A throng of his subjects had
also gathered to greet him. As he ap
peared tho crowd burst into "Die

to the palace, through packed streets,
receiving a tremendous ovation.

fatherland.

were guarded by strong forces of po- j
lice. Demonstrations were attemptcu
against them yesterday, but tho police
quickly suppressed them.
General Von Moltke, the chief of the
army staff, who was visiting in Carls
bad, had returned in not haste.
It was reported nn army mobilization
order would be issued today.
The statement was made on semi
official authority that the foreign of
fice had notified Russia that Austria's
and Servia 's troubles were between
those two countries alone and that
there must be no intercfernco between
them.
It was believed that the kaiser
would personally urge the czar to keep
out of the controversy.
His majesty, who has been in Scan
dinavian waters, and President Poin
carc of France, who has been visiting
in Stockholm, were reported to have
had a conference Sunday.
Carlsbad and other German and Aus
trian pleasure anil health resorts were
practically deserted. Industr.es were
virtually suspended for lack of men, be
cause of the mobilization order. Ger
mans abroad were hurrying home to
join their regiments.

London. July 27. The British gov

efforts today to avert a general Euro

Buckingham palace to be in constant
touch with tho situation.
Foreign Minister Sir Edward Grey
had already suggested to France, Ger
many and Italy a plan of mediating
with the British ambassadors in raris,
Berlin and Rome.
These diplomats wore said to be of
the opinion that no step had yet been
taken which rendered the arbitration
impossible.
Though it was said Sunday that Aus
tria actually had declared war, this
was denied in official circles here to-
day. There had not, it was asserted,
been an official declaration,
There naturally were many rumors in
circulation, and it was difficult either
to verify or disprove them owing to
the strictness of the censorship at all
continental capitals, especially Vienna,

London, July 27. That tie

Not only had Italy agreed to
England's proposition for an ef
fort at mediation between Aus
tria, Servia and Russia, but fav
vorablo answers had been re

many. The situation was still, how
ever, deemed critical.
THE STORY TOLD BRIEFLY.
War clouda hung low over turope
today.
Austria was massing troops on the
Servian frontier.
To check them Servians dynamited
the bridge across the River Save, the
international boundary
A fight had occurred between Ser
vians on shore and an Austrian troop
ship on the Danube.
Another fight was reported (it the
month of the River Temes, near Bel
grade, the Servian capital.
Belgrade had been evacuated, Nish,
in the Interior, being made temporary
capital.
The Servian army was mobilizing
under Crown Prince Alexander.
It was announced Austrian troops
would not occupy Belgrade today, pre
sumably to give Germany time td strive
for localizing the war.
A Russian army mobilization order
was reported to have been issued.
The czar was firm In his determina
tion to aid Servia against Austria.
The Russian minister of war was
quoted ' In Washington as saying
Russo-Austrian war was Inevitable.
The Russian general strikers went
back to work, that their government
might not be hampered during the for
eign crisis. I
England announced it would be neu
tral as between Austria and Servia, but
that Its position would be "critical" if
another power in terf erred.
At the same time the English asked
the Germans, French and Italians to
loin them in mediation efforts.
Italy, most unwilling to be engaged
with the allies Germany and Austria
in a war against England, France and
Russia, accepted the ngland In vita

The war spirit was rampant In Aus

WILSON REFUSES TO
DISCUSS SITUATION
By John Edwin Nevtn.
Washinirtoo. July 27. The , United
States does not intend to meddle in Eu
ropean politics.
This was made plain here today by
President Wilson in his audience with
the newspaper correspondents. He said
he thought it would be unwise to dis
cuss European developments at this
time, and refused to comment upon the
possibility of a general war in -.he event
of Austria opening hostilities against
Servia.
Asked regarding a report that the
senate foreign relations committee had
decided to sidetrack all of Secretary
Nicaragua and Colombian pacts, thel
nmmi.ii.nt axiii he nan not Deen imormeu
of any such action, and did not believe
it would be taken. He said ne proposed
to use all possible influence to get ac
tion on the treaties.
The president denied that hi was tir

ed to go to Cornish, N. H., hty summer

flatly refused to discuss a report that
he intended withdrawing th nomina

From Austria's declaration of hostil
ities against Servia t.ie greatest war ,
in history is threatened.
Tho situation is this:
Austria's southeaslern province? i...e .

people are Servian by race ana sym
pathy, just as tlinre is a population .
which is Mexican by race and sympathy
in southern California, Arizona, Hen

Two Important Austrian provinces .
Bosnia and Herzegovina originally
were Scrvias.
Many years ago they passed to Tur-,
key. The war of 1878 loosened Tur- .
key's grip. The sultan retained a nom- .
inal suzerainty but the provinces were
under Austrian supervision.
It was plain they must pass ultimate. '
ly altogether out of Turkey's hands. '
When this happoned Bervu nopeu io
acquire them again. A Urge share of
their people, being Servians, wanted
this to happen.
In 1908 Austria, however, suddenly
annexed both provinces. This was a
dreadful blow to Servian ambitions, but
Servia was not strong enouga to re
sist and Russia had not then sufficient
ly recovered from the effects of the
war with Japan to render any aid.
Austria Robbed Servia,
Servia had another ambition, An in
land country, it was compelled to trade
through Austrian ports on terms un
favorable to Servian commerce. The
Servians longed for a seaport.
In the Balkan war they fought their
way to tho Adriatic. Instead of per
mitting them to retain a port, however,
Austria organized the kingdom of Al
bania, shutting them in again.
The Servians blamed Archduke Fran
cis Ferdinand, heir to the. Austrian
throne, for this anti-Servian policy.

been workinir. not only in Servia but
among the Servians in Austria, for the .
promotion of Servia 's interests, which
necessarily meant to the detriment of
Austria 's.
Austria charged that this organiza
tion inspired Francis Ferdinands' assas
sination. Asked the Impossible.
The substance of its demand on Ser
via was that the persons said to have -been
implicated in the assasmnation plot
be punished ana tn.it ine ran-oervmu
organization be suppressed.
Servia did not answer as Austria ae-
sired and the latter declared war.
The Servians are of the same race as
the Russians.
Both for racial reasons, from political
nmtives growing out of Servia 's geo
graphical position and because Russia
is jealous of Austria, the czar is Ser
via 's friend and protector.
Servia could not fight. Austria alone
but all indications are that Russia will
come to Servia's aid.
Germany is Austria's ally, and its in
terests are so interwoven with Austria's
that an Austrian success or reverse,
would be correspondingly a success m i
reverse for Germany. It is doubtful it
Austria could stand long against Rus
sia, but if Russia were to attack Aus-
tria, Germany certainly would come to
aid.
France Forced in.
France is Russia 's ally. It is, besides,
Germany's hereditary enemy, and it
longs to recover Alsace-Lorraine, wrest
ed from it by Germany as a result of
the Franco-PruBsian ,war. Finally, .it
could not afford . to see Germany
achieve such continental power as it
would win by defeating Russia. Left
to itself, Germany probably would be
