'ISIDOR RAYNER,
STATESMAN, DEAD
Expires at His Residence in
Washington.
LEADER in CONGRESS,
Brilliant Baltimore Lawyer Who Won
Fame In National Affairs-tiis
Long and Eventfui Career
In Politics.

Washington, d. G. Isidor Rayner,
senior United States senator from
Maryland. died at $40 o'clock Monday
morning in his Washington apart
ments, 1920 Eighteenth street.
Though it has been known for the
past week that the noted Maryland
statesman could live but few days,
relapse came suddenly and quickly,
giving no warning. He seemed quite
restless Saturday night, and upon
awakening in the morning it was plain
ly evident that he was considerably
weaker, though this was expected. He
was still in the comatose condition in
which he had been for the past five
days. Several times Sunday he raj
lied, however, and was able to
recognize the relatives in the sick
room. He again lapsed into a stupor
shortly after O'Clock Sunday evening.
A Sudden Change.
At that time his condition was said
to be unchanged, and every assurance
was given that he would live through
out the night.

The relapse came few minutes
after 8 o'clock, when his breath be-
came short, and several times he could
scarcely breathe at ALL His heart and
pulse also became worse and his con-
dition rapidly grew more alarming.

they told the family that the end was
near after a battle of month.

DR.. Finney, however, found that
owing to the Senator's weak heart an
operation was out of the question, as
an anesthetic could not be administer
ed, and, anyway, it was doubtful
whether the knife would have proved
adequate. For the same. reason SEN
ator Rayner was compelled to suffer
a great deal of pain. as on. account of

only be partially eased. He was un-
conscious for most of three days be-

AUSTRIA RUSHING FORCES.

London. A new war cloud, more
dreadfnlly ominous in its possibilities
than the one now hanging lightly on
the final efforts of two spent forces,
has suddenly reared itself over Eu-
rope out of maze of diplomatic bant-
erings and jealousies,
Austria, Germany and Russia are
calling their men to the colors::
Servia's SCARED army is in the field,
and with it and supporting it are the
victorious legions Of the Bulgars, the
Greeks and the Montenegrins.
The Austrian Danube fiotilla--two
monitors, two torpedo boats and four
gunboats-a are rushing down the Dam
ube TO Belgrade under full steam. The
dispatch of these vessels is shrouded
in secrecy, SO far as official explana-
tions are concerned, but their mission
is plainly a hostile one.
Austria has 100000 troops on war
footing; 100000 of them are massed
on the jServian frontier. Reservists
are reporting for duty at every mill
tary post in the country.

1t is announced from Vienna that

The Austrian press has taken up the
cry Of hostility toward Russia; the

action.
Fleet In the Danube.
The departure of the fiotilla is re-
ported as creating tremendous sen
sation in Budapest. The newspapers
of Budapest have been forbidden I'M
der the threat of heaviest penalties
to publish anything concerning mill
tary or naval movements.
In the meantime, Albania, the bone
of contention in the imbroglio, has
proclaimed her independence. This in
reality is a proclamation by Austria,
and it means that Servia's efforts to
secure for herself window ON the
Adriatic have been thwarted by a
daring diplomatic ruse. Independent
Albania, thus created without the as
sent of Servia, means Austrian con-
troll, shared with Italy The Austrian
press accuses Russia of being behind
Servia and of being responsible for
the present situation.
