For War With Austria.

Vienna, Oct. 9.-War between Aus
tria- Hungary and Servia is q rccog-
nized possibility, although it is believed
here that it will be averted. King Peter
is in a difficult position on account of
the clamor of the Servians for war
particularly since his tenure on the
throne never was very safe.
The AIStrianS on their part have 4
new feeling Of national enterprise on

annexation of Bosnia and HerZcguN ina
and would be more ready for turt her
adventures now than they We're a week
ago.
That the government recognizes The
possibility. the military precautions in
Hungary show. All the bridges over the
Save and Danube near the Servian
frontier are strongly guarded by pa
trolls, and four Danube river monitors
We're concentrated at Budapest today.
The government explains that This
maneuNre was planned some time ago,
hut the AuStrianS would have Belgrade

necessary. The newspapers contain
warnings to SerVia.

Other families had moved into the

deputy coroner thinks one of them

This person inserted a coin in the me-

was III the meter and the supply of gas
was half exhausted, yet the valve
which supplied the gas from the street

The deputy coroner believes that

Chicago. Oct. S.-Having temporarily
bridged the political chasm which
separated them and shaken hands with
his Republican opponent William ].
Bryan, the Democratic candidate for
President, today again sailed forth

Mr. Taft, but President Roosevelt came
in for severe verbal castgation at mis-
hands.
Mr. Bryan's principal remarks today
were made at Northwestern Univer-
sity
Quoting from jefferson, Mr.. Bryan
said there We're just two parties in
every country and that wherever
speech was free, these two parties
would manifest themselves. Jefferson,
he said. described these parties as
Democratic and Astrocratic
Mr. Bryan charged that the Repub-
lcan leaders We're not going in the

publican party wanted to go. In re-
iecting the publicity OF campaign funds

had repudiated that action, but only
halfway He also attacked Mr.. Tafts
position on the tariff, trusts and labor
questions.
Once again he tiayed President
Roosevelt for interfering as he said
in the campaign
Il have no corporation behind me"
he declared. Il have had no rich rela-
tives to furnish money for the cam
paign. I had but one thing to rely
upon and that was my advocacy of

pie of my party believe. | have made
my fight and l stand as the represen-
tative of millions of people who be-
lieve as do and say to the President
that he should stand aside and let mis-
man and me fight it out before the
American people"
The reference to Mr.. Taft as His
man. caused a ripple of laughter
among the audience. Continuing, Mr.
Bryan said that he believed the Presi-
dents interference violates a sense
OF Justice that can be found in every
human heart, and | have right to
criticize his use of the Presidency
