IMPERIAL CHANCELLOR ISSUES A
DIRECT DEFY TO RUSSIA AS
WARMING TO KEEP HANDS OFF
IN PRESENT CRISIS

Berlin, Dec. 2.--ChancoIIor Won
, Bethmann-Holiweg today uttered a
plain warning TO Russia that in case
hostilties should arise ont CT the Aus
,tro-Sorvian difficulties Germany would
draw her sword to assist her allies.
The imperial chancellor made this
declaration in the course Of Il speech
in the Reichstag discussing he Bal
kan situation. 1t was repetition Of
the statement made at the time of the
controversy over the question of Ros-
mia and Herzegovina in 190S, which
then caused an immense sensation in
the European capitals. Although at
that period it first threatened to sweep
away the Pacific Russian cabinet, the
current Of feeling aroused among the
Slays ultimately brought peace,
Dr. Won Bethmann-IioIlWeg, after
summarizing the efforts OF the great
powers in the first place to delay the
outbreak in the Balkans and later on
when war was found to be inevitable
to localiZe hostilities, passed on to
the questions of the interest OF the
great powers directly affected By the
final settlement. He said:
"When our allies, Austra-I hungary
and Italy. in maintaining their inter
est, are attacked-although it is not !
the present prospect--by a third par
ty and thereby threatened in their eX
istencc, then We, faithful to our com

EXCITEMENT AMONG
RAILROAD OFFICIALS.

Omaha, Neb., Dec 2.-Intense in
ierest was shown in railroad circles
relative to the Union Pacific merger
decision. This was especially true at
Union Pacific headquarters where Off
cials in many instances forgot their
luncheon in discussion of the decision.
President A. l.. Mohler was eager
for the details of the decision but de-
clined to comment on it. There was,
however, a general atmosphere of re-
lief when the result was known. One
prominent official declared it would
have the effect of clearing up many
matters which had been much specu-
! lated upon. He also asserted it
would put the Union Pacific railroad
in position to go ahead with many
projects which have been held up
awaiting the outcome of the merger
suit

active issues declined in sympathy.
Strong support was accorded the Har-
riman issues, however. and they soon
rallied, making up the greater part
OF the losses.

rose 6 3-4 points.
Judge Robert S. Lovett, chairman
of the board of directors OF the Harri-

The brick and cement cistern to the

on Heather Island oosed out of the

eight inches thick, made of brick and

The floating cistern refuses to bal

an even keel, it's beam projects up
wards at an angle of forty-five de-

her afioat, returned to his home in

ground will be anchored. Probably
the cause of the cistern floating is,
that the mansion is very heavy and
the land lies low, being waterish this
time of the year; that the mansion
squelshed, with its heavy weight on
the soft earth, the cistern out of the
hole it was set into. Mr.. Moorhead
is still on the job down here at this
writing. He may spin up the Silver
Springs run in the cistern. A. A. G.

ENORMOUS PROFITS
To Fire Insurance Companies

Florida is soon to have fire insur-

able to keep at home millions of dol
lars that go annually north and east

insurance, and the profits of this bus
mess, (Which were over 34h per cent.
on the capital invested in cash divi-
dends last year,, have been kept in
the north while we have been unable
to improve the south for want of
funds, and We have been compelled
to send for this money and pay
handsome rate of interest for it.
Does it pay? In the past we have
been compelled to do it and we are
glad that the north has been able to
furnish us with good fire protection.
But now we are no longer to be de-
pendent on our northern brothers. and

a blessing and would boom farming
very much.
II is to be hoped that packing hous-
es will soon be in the market to buy
Florida-grown pork, on foot, from the
farmers. The objection to many hogs

be readily turned into lard.
