REVOLT IN CROATIA
Is Spreading to Every Part of the
Titular Kingdom.

Vienna, May 21.-The revolt in Croa-
tia is spreading to every part of the
titular kingdom and threatens to ex-
tend to Dalmatia.
The celebrations at Agram yesterday
of the anniversary of the death OF
Jellacihich Won Busim, the former ban
of Croatia, eliminated in a fierce con-
f1ict with the police, who attacked the
crowds with sabres, wounding many
persons and making $50 arrests, includ-
ing several students and women.
The city of Agram is now COM
pletely under military rule. The prin-
cipal streets are closed by cordons OF
troops. Four regiments, fully equip
ped for war, have been ordered to pro-
coed from Oedenburg to the Agram
district.
At Buccari and Meja thousands of
peasants attempted to destroy the
railroad in order to prevent the ar
rival of troops. They tore up the rails
at five different points, and when the
military arrived the peasants pelted
them with stones, injuring several SOL
diers. The troops retaliated by shoot
ing and bayoneting many of the pea
SAINTS.
The Slavs resident in various parts
of Austria and Bohemia are holding
indignation meetings to protest against
the proceedings in Croatia, where over
1000 persons have already been i'm
prisoned.
The disturbances in Croatia are pri-
marily due to the long standing race
hatred between the Slavs and Mag
vars. The present outbreak has two
main sources. First the general dis
content of the peasantry arising from
the extreme poverty prevailing every
where and from the fact that in some
parts of the country the peasants are
on the verge of famine; second, the
indignation aroused by the, alleged ty-
rannical rule of Count Khan Heder-
vary, ike present ban of Croatia.
The Croatians attribute much of
their poverty to the financial methods
of the Hungarian government, which
is accused of drawing from Croatia
money in excess of it's legal proportion
of the taxes, in spite of the protests of
the inhabitants. Consequently,
throughout Croatia there is increasing
hatred of Hungarian rule and Ian
guage. The recent attempt made to
Introduce the Magyar language into
Croatia has especially aroused popular
Indignation.

CARSON CASE TO-DAY.
Woman who Killed the Student at
Macon to Be Tried.

Macon. May 21.-The trial of Mrs.
Effie Carson, charged with the murder
of Robert A. Rigsby of Bowling Green,
KY, a student in business college
here will begin tomorrow. The homi-
eide occurred Jan. IL in the law office
of M. G.. Bayne, to which the parties
had resorted in an effort to adjust a
trouble growing out of Rigsbys all
legged reflections upon the character of
Mrs. Carson. who was a teacher in
another business college. The attor-
ney left them alone in his office to talk
the matter over. ~
One of them locked the door. Shots
were heard within a few moments and
Mrs. Carson then opened the door.
Rigsby was discovered dead with a
pistol near him. Mrs. Carson at once
surrendered to the sheriff, crossing the
street, revolver in hand.
1t is expected the trial will develop
sensational features.
The defendant appeared for trial to-
day. arrayed in handsome black silk
She was accompanied by her husband
it being the first time he has figured in
the case, so far as the public knows.
The defense will be justification. Mrs
Carson claims that she had been perse-
cuted and harassed by reports against
her good name ever since the divorce
suit against her New York husband
and she could stand it no longer. She
proposes that the story of the wrongs
she has endured shall influence the jury
to spare her from punishment.
She has been free to go and come
under $1,000 bond since the day after
the tragedy

ing-Regrets the Deficiency, but
Says This Is Not the First Time
One Has Occurred-Says Machen's
work Was Not Good AdministrR-
ton.
Washington, May 21.-Congress will
be asked at the opening of it's next ses-
sion to make an appropriation to cover
deficiencies in both the regular free de-
livery service and the rural free deliv-
cry service of the Postoffice Depart
ment.
Mr. Payne announced to-day that this
deficiency now aggregates exactly
S227,3OO, of which $106,7O0 is in the free
delivery branch and $121,600 in the ru-
raj free delivery service.
The Postmaster General said he very
much regretted the existence of the de-
ficit, and for the first time publicly
criticised the administration of A. w.
Machen, the general superintendent of
the free delivery system, who is on in
definite leave of absence.
what Payne Says.
This is not the first time that a de-
ficiency has occurred in the free deliv-
cry service" said Mr.. Payne, but I
regret its existence. At the opening Of
the last Congress Mr.. Machen pointed
out that without additional appropria-
lions no more routes could be estab
lished beyond those ready to be IN
stalled Jan. /. He said, however, if
Congress appropriated 100000 for the
purpose. the work could be continued
during the rest of the fiscal year. This
appropriation was promptly made, but
ii was exhausted
Despite this fact the Office (the free
delivery office was going on increasing
the deficiency, and If we had not taken
steps to curtail the expenditures and
suspend the establishment of routes
until the beginning of the next fiscal
year, the deficit would have been much
larger. 1t was not good administra-
ton"
On May 3 Mr.. Payne sent a letter
to Mr.. Bristow, fourth assistant, stat
ing his wish that there be no deficit
and asking him to curtail expenditures
with that end in view.
Roast for Machen.
Postmaster General Payne tonight
in discussing the big deficiency in the
free delivery service, said:
1T is very reprehensible for a bu-
reaus officer to have a deficit OF $4,000
rolled up on the first of May. 1t was
bad. very bad, administration. A bu-
reau officer should not incur deficit
without consulting his superior officer,
the Postmaster General. 1 cannot
stand for that kind of administration,
and 1 do not approve of 1t. I do not
say that there was anything criminal
nor anything wrong in Mr. Machen's
action, but it was certainly loose ad-
ministration, and he should have had
his business more in hand"
Postmaster General Payne was ask
ed a number of questions as to the eff
feet of the discovery of the deficiency
on the status of Mr.. Machen, but par
ried all the questions. He said that
the matter would be looked into and a
communication might be sent later to
Mr.. Machen. asking for an explanation
of the condition of affairs.
