Belgrade, March 29.-Servia has sur

OF Europe and the tension of six
months over the Balkan situation will
come to an end this afternoon. Tie
action of Servia probably will set the
Balkan question" at rest for many
years.
Ministers of Great Britain, Franco,
Russia and italy will today verbally

their recognition Of the annexation o.
Bosnia and Herzegovina by Austria
Hungary. They will advise Servia to
consider this question closed and is
sue circular note to all the powers
acknowledging this annexation, and at
the same time to assure Austria-Hun-

THREE WATERLOO
men ARR: vICT MS
BOAT GOES OVER DAM SUNDAY
CARRYING HUNTERS TO A
WATERY GRAVE.

Waterloo, March 29.-Three hunters
supposed to be Henry Bothman, Chris
and Frank Bentz, all residents OF
Waterloo, were drowned at 12:4O
o'clock yesterday when their boat
capsized in the high, swift waters Of
Cedar river.
Many people along the banks wit
messed the tragedy, but were helpless
to render assistance, as all boats were
chained to the shore and the oars were
missing. For an hour or more there
was no clue to the identity of the un'
fortunate men and many homes were
anguished. A boat and decoy ducks
and two hats found below the dam
led the police to think the drowned
men we're the parties mentioned, as
they planned to hunt together yes
terday and to use the decoys that were
found with the boat.
The men were first seen clinging to
the bottom Of the overturned boat, a
half mile above the dam and con
siderable distance from the east shore
One of them left his companions In
the hope Of swimming to an island al
that side of the stream, but his
strength failed him and he disappear
ed. The current proved too swift
The other two clung to the boat and
cried for help. The people on the
banks, hearing them, fastened to the
edge of the river only to find all the
boats in sight chained to trees.
With rapid speed the two men ap
| preached the waters of the dam, ovel
| which they shot with a last despair
ing cry. They were swallowed up II
the seething waters, one not being
seen again. The other one with grea
tenacity and still fighting for life, helt
to the boat even while he and it were
submerged in many feet Of the turbu
lent water. A hundred feet below hi:
head was seen to emerge 1or an in
stant, and then disappear forever. The
boat was afterwards seen riding OF
the current down stream.
All the men were married. Both

about 40. Though there is little hope
for the recovery of the bodies unit
the river subsidies, the officers die
what they could to drag the strean

train when it reached here at noon.
There was no demonstration against
Boyle. He was taken to the police sta
tion to await the preliminary hearing
later.
Frightened at Demonstration.
On instruction Of Judge Miller and
his attorney, Boyle waived hearing on
the abduction charge before Justice
Gilbert this afternoon. AS Boyle left
the Justices Office q crowd made q
rush towards him For a moment lie
paled but it was soon apparent the
crowd desired only to get look at
the man. Arrangements were immed.

Boyle Losing His Nerve.
Mercer, Pa, March 20. - After a
week of excitement James H. Boyle
and Mrs. Boyle had one day of rest
yesterday. The woman read and the

former never lost her nerve. She had
lost her appetite, but yesterday was
well on the way to recovery. The man
had lost both nerve and appetite Last
evening, however, he was in better
spirits.

SOMERVILLE, N. j., Nov. o.
Ahtruh Everton, a self-styled pro
fessor, a travelling hypnotist, is in
jail tonight following the death of
Robert Simpson, former street car
conductor of Newark, last night at
performance at a local theatre.
While the hypnotist sobbed in his
cell, several local physicians wit
messed wierd performance at the
morgue, where William e. Daven-
port, secretary to the mayor of New
York, and a student of hypnotism,
vainly tried to bring back signs of
life to the rigid body of Simpson.
Simpson was apparently dead af-
ter being put into a cataleptic state
by Everton, and it was at the pite-
GUS instance of the hypnotist, after
his ineffectual attempts to revive
Simpson, that Davenport was using
the power of suggestion and spoke
in the dead mans ear: Bob, your
heart action, your heart action is
beginning, it is beginning saw
it," Slowly and dramatically Dav-
enport repeated this in the ear, and
then changing his tone of voice to
an imperious command, he cried:
Bob, can't you hear me, your heart
is beginning to beat!" Again and
again he repeated this to the IMAM

KANSAS CITY, Nov. 9.-Reiter-
ating the assertion that neither he
nor the monetary commission had
any pet scheme of financial reform,
Senator Aldrich tonight in this city
dwelt at some length upon some of
the advantages of European bank
ing systems over the systems of the
United States. He spoke after a
dinner given by the clearing house
association.
Aldrich found in the reserve sys-
tenn the most striking characteristic
of the European banks. He de-
clared that the central banks of
England, France and Germany
the Bank of England, the Bank of
France and the Reichs bank-hold
all the resources of all the banks in
their respective countries.
The speaker pointed out that
there is no legal requirement MAX
ing it necessary for foreign banks
to keep in their vaults so large a
percentage of their deposits as is
necessary in the United States. He
said the subordinate banks regard
the money in the central institution
as being just as available for their
reserve purposes as if it was in
their own vaults. Aldrich added
that foreign banks don't hold as

TAFT Will
sleep IN WHITE
HOUSE TONIGHT
fBy Associated Pr,

WILMINGTON, S. c., Nov. o.
His $4,000 mile journey through 33
states and territories is all but con-
cluded, and President Taft is to-
night speeding toward Richmond
where he will stop tomorrow until
late in the afternoon, leaving then
for Washington, to spend the night
in the White House. The president
is quite tired and has given up all
idea of visiting Panama this winter.
He will make no more long trips
until next summer, when he hopes
to visit Alaska. He will spend
Christmas and the holidays at the
White House with his family.
The president began the day by
breakfasting at the home of James
S. Prunt, one of the largest export
ers of cotton in the south. He re-
viewed the school children and took
a 25-mile sail down the waterway
in the revenue cutter Seminole, af-
ter which he was taken for car
riage ride. Later he delivered an
address at the city hall. Tonight
he attended supper at the Masonic
Temple before he left for Richmond
at 8 O'Clock.
