FORTIFYING KIA0-CH0U
Germany Will Strengthen Her Naval
Base in the East

By Associated Press.
BERLIN, June 13.-An important
order to fortify Kiao-Chou bay, the
German concession in the southern part
of the Shantung peninsula, has been
issued. The work will be done under
the supervision of the governor of the
protectorate, Rear Admiral Truppel,
and five engineer fortification officers
detailed for this purpose.
The extent of the Notifications and
the amount to be spent on them are
facts which have not been disclosed,
but it is probable that the work now
contemplated is only the beginning of
extensive plans.
AS Kiao-Chou is Germany's ontly sta
tion in far eastern waters, the navy de-
partment has desired, since it's occu-
patton to make it a secure base for
German war vessels. The fortifying OF
Kiao-Chou at this time, it is said, need
not be construed as preparing for its
defense against any particular power,
but only as a proper precautionary
measure too long neglected.

| VIENNA, June 13.--Archdulke Joseph
Of Austria died today. He was born in
1888 at Pressbourg Hungary
He had always been known as the
Hungarian archduke" and was deeply
loved by the Hungarian people. He
was a son of the last but one "Palatin
Of Hungary" He was educated in
Hungary as Hungarian and in the
Hungarian spirit
Contrary to the accepted regulations
of the Hungarian court etiquette in the
manner of the education of the royal
family, Archduke Joseph's boyhood
was associated with peasant boys as
his playmates and companions. He en-
tered his fathers Hussar regiment in
1S45 and saw much active service. On
the return from the war he was made
commander in chief of the Hungarian
"Honved" or reserved army, holding
his post until his death.
Joseph did much, or tried to do much
for the gypsies of Hungary. He mas
tered gypsy language and wrote an
excellent grammar of this most difficult
tongue. He tried to settle the question
Of gypsy vagabondage by offering to
any gypsy who wanted to settle down
patch of land, a good home and help
in making a start as an agriculturis..
All these efforts. however, were in vain.
In memory Of son who died as the
result of a shooting, the archduke and
his wife, the princess Clotilde Of Sake
Coburg and Gotha, established an In
stitution for the care of crippled chill
dren. The loss of a second grown up
child last year bore heavily upon the
archduke and ever since he had lived
quietly.
He leaves one son who married the
granddaughter of Emperor Francis
Joseph and three daughters.

PRELIMINARIES ARE BEING
DISCUSSED
WHITE HOUSE is THE MEDIUM
Russia Regards Appointment Of Plen-
lpotentiaries Merely as Tentative
Arrangement, and Japan Is
Naturally Cautious
BY Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, June 13.-Ambassa-
dor Jusserand returned tonight from
West Point, where he went to deliver
an address. At his embassy he found
a note from President Roosevelt re-
questing him to call at the White
House. He reached there at 9:15 p. m.
and remained with the president until
II o'clock. To representative of the
Associated Press M. Jusserand said 1t
would be discourteous for him to dis
cuss for publication the nature of the
interview.
Asked whether another hitch had oc-
Cured in the peace negotiations, he re-
piled frankly that he had heard of none,
adding that the question of peace was
not the principal subject of considera-
tion at the conference. AS far as he
was aware there had been no change
in the favorable status Of the negotia-
tions.
Direct communication between st. Pc
tersburg and Toxic has not yet been
established. The White House is Yet
the medium for all communications be-
tween the two capitals. Important de-
tails remain to be agreed upon before
the plenipot entiaries of the belligerents
can meet to discuss the means of end
ing the war.
Russia regards her consent to appoint
plenipotentiaries to discuss means of
ending the war as a tentative arrange
ment. Although the word plenipoten-
tiaries is used in the Russian reply, it
is understood that their appointment
does not commit Russia to any pledge
to end the war. Her object in ap-
pointing these fully empowered ENJOYS
is to find out whether she can obtain
peace terms which it is possible for
Emperor Nicholas to accept. japan is
naturally cautious, although she, too,
has accepted the presidents offer of
good will and agreed to appoint pleni-
potentiaries.
The negotiations have progressed far
enough for the belligerents to be dis
cussing through the president, as the
channel of communication, a suitable
place, the number of negotiators, and
what is more important than either of
these, a common basis on which the
plenipotentiaries may meet.

The Magic City. Las Vegas

What Las Vegas in the desert is to-
day in it's drapery of dust and its
sweat of endeaVor, with its mansions
of airy canvas, white under the heat of
the midday sun, and ghoStly white
under the cool gleam of the midnight
stars, that Salt Lake City was less than
sixty years ago-that also Denver was
less than fifty years ago-that also
Boise, now one OF the little jewel cities
of the west in the midst of farstretch-
ing orchards, embowered i'm roses and
vines, the beautiful garden spot of
Idaho, was in 1862, the summer when
the richest placers ever discovered in
the United States were found in the
mountains near by-that also Phoenix
by the Rio ella was in 1868 or there
abouts when a handful of miners with
their families, weary of the mountains
and the drouth, came down to the
plains and planted the settlement by
the Gila, which they said they would
make, and which they have made, the
capital of the metropolis of Arizona.
With such examples of great and
swift accomplishment before our minds,
the hopes of this magic city OF Las
Vegas so loudly touted today seem far
from groundless. They are in truth
better grounded than were the hopes Of
any OF the cities named at the day Of
their planting.-Fitz Mac, In Denver

SAN FRANCISCO, June 13.--On an
indictment returned by the federal
grand jury four merchants of this city
are charged with having financed a
scheme to kill seals in forbidden waters
of the Bering sea. The ship used for
the alleged illegal sealing was the
schooner Jennie Thelim, which was fit
ted out in this city and Oakland. When
sent on the expedition her name was
changed to Carmencita and she was
placed under the Mexican flag.
According to the authorities the
schooner left here in May 1904, on an

for the Bering sea where her crew is
said to have killed seals. Her captain
was Alexander Mccain, who is now on
the high seas.

DRISCoLL TELLS HIS STORY
BY Associated Press.


CHICAGO, June 13-The teamsters'
strike proper has almost been lost sight
of. the attention of both sides to the
controversy being occupied with the
charges Of bribery in connection with
the labor unions in Chicago rather than
with the real issue.
Within the next twenty-four hours
is was said tonight, history of the
secret transactions of labor unions in
Chicago for the past four years will be
made public and that the information
will implcate many labor leaders,
who 1t is sserted, have accepted bribes
to call off strikes.
The man who is expected to give this
information is John c.. Driscoll, former
secretary of the local owners union
who has been the intermediary between
the employees and the teamsters union
in this city for the past four years.
Tomorrow morning Driscoll says he
will appear before the grand jury with
documentary evidence showing that
several labor leaders have been receiv-
ing large sums Of money through Dris-
coll, which it is declared by the latter
the employers were forced to pay to
prevent their employees being called out
on strike. To substantiate his state
ment Driscoll displayed tonight bank
check book, the stubs on which he said
correspond to the amounts of money
paid to these labor leaders. This bank
book will be offered in his testimony to-
morrow before the grand jury.
The method used by Driscoll, accord
ing to his own statements was this: An
employer or an organization of employ
ers who were affected by a strike or
who were likely to be, would call and
ask him to use his influence to bring
about an adjustment of the difficulty.
The fees, according to Driscoll, paid
the union men, ranged from $10O to
thousands of dollars, the aggregate be-
ing estimated by him at $S0,OO0 Driscoll
declares that he never received dollar
of this money for his efforts in avert
ing trouble, except from the organiza-
tions of which he acted as secretary.
