Berlin Takes Optimistic View OF Ser
Wan Situation.
Berlin, Feb. 25.-There is no rea-
son to believe that an outbreak of war
between Austria and Servia is immi-
nent, according to the view teld in
the most authoritative semi-oficial
circles. The alarmist reports are re-
garded as being much exaggerated.
1t is admitted. however. that the stu
alton is not clear, and will remain
clouded until those powers which,
like France. are striving to maintain
peace. make their voices heard at St
Petersburg and induce Russia to no
tify Belgrade that in the event of war
Servia can not rely upon either direct
or indirect Russian support.

 The next trip of the cage brought seven other survivors. They were smiling and healthy save for weakness due to lack of food. News of the res cue of these men travelled with light ming like rapidity and the change from despair to hope, which swept over the crowd, was a most dramatic and impressive scene.
 Women Fought to Get Near.
 Women who have stood for days and nights with only the hope of re. covering the mutilated forms of hus. bands and sons fought with the ma. tional guardsmen to reach the mouth of the pit. The latter restrained them, excaiming that to overrun the pit would only delay the rescue.
 As one by one the survivors became visible to the multitude outside the rope barriers. the women crowded around them. When one would recog. nize a kinsman the joyful meeting moved many to tears. But saddest of all was the change again to blank despair of those who saw but recog. nized no one whom they sought.

 GETTING RAKEOFF?
K. (. S. President Charged With Breach of Trust and Malfeasance in Handling Property Trans
 ferred Land to Wife.

Topeka, Kans., Noy. 2l.-A suit charging J. A. Edson, pr,si- dent of the Kansas City Southern railroad, and receiver for the Mis- souri-Kansas City Interurban raIl- road, with breach of trust and malfeasance in the performance of his duties as receiver of the In- terurban road, was filed yesterday in the United States circuit court by William B. Slrang, former president of the Strang Land Company and president of the In- terurban Railroad Corporation.
 The suit is the outgrowth of the appointment of Edson as re- ceiver for the Straug line. When the road went into the hands of the receiver, s au additional as. set, the plaintiff turned over to the receiver the control of the Strang Land Company. Among the assets of the land company were number of op- ii ns on lands adj lcent to the liue, then in course of construc- tion. The plaintiff now charges that as receiver for the railroad and acting president of the Strang Land Company, J. A. Bison per mitted number ot these options to expire.
 He further charges that au eighty-acre tract of land, in John son county, was transferred to Maggie M. Edson. wife of the re. ceiver, at the option price held by the land company causing loss of $20, ,000 to the Str~pg Land Company.
 It is also charged that Edson, as acting president of the Strang Land Company, permitted an op- ton of great value to expire on 380 acres of Johnson county land, l, entailing great loss to the plain- tiff. The petition asks that Ed son be cited to show why he should not be punished for con- tempt of court. It also asks that the defendant show cause why he should not be adjudged guilty of a breach of trust and malfeasauce while acting Tn his capacity of re- ceiver and be compelled to make such restitution as the court may | --~~----~~------a--
