Ssrvia, However, Keeps Up

Russia VIII Not Fight For
ServianS

London, Nov ia much more
hopeful feeling prevailed today in res
gard to the information situation -ea!
Sulting from the war. The powers
work for a peaceful settlement, II is
believed will avoid actual conflict.
Servia however, has not replied TO
the Austria Hungarian suggestion that
SerVian occupation Of Albanian terri
tory would not be tolerated.
The Servian army, continues !ts
march toward the Adriatic coast and
Belgrade reports say the army has
reached Durazzo.
Turkey is again reported as making
a direct appeal to the Balkan allies ior
mediation.
Turkey is now In a better position
to ask for All armistice, as it is under
stood that strong reinforcements OF
fresh Turks have reached Tchatalia
and might hold out there for weeks
The absence of news from that quarteR
suggests that tho Bulgarians are noe
walking over the Turkish fortifica%
tions as was expected.
Direct Negotiations.
ConstantinopIe, Nov. 1&.--It wa4
indicated today that the Turks ilsva
decided to negotiate directly with the
Balkans as mediation Of the powers
seems fruitless.
Russia viii Not Fight.
st. Petersburg, Nov. 13.-Russia does
not intend to so to war over the guess
ton of SerYia's obtaining q port on tfS
Adriatic sea according to Sergius Saz-
onoff Russian foreign minister.
NJ. Sazonoff informed NJ. Popovitiess
the Servian minister here, that this
decision had been reached as a result
of conversations between the German
ambassador to Russia and himself.
The Novoe Vremya and other news
papers denounce the Russian govern-
ments policy as one of vacillation and
surrender. Premier Kokoysoff ex-
pressed the opinion today that the dis
pute between Seryia and Austria
would be settled by compromise.

assassinated premier, Canalejas, lay
in state for an hour early this morn

a diplomatic uniform and beneath the

A vast and silent crowd of people
gathered both in and outside the
chamber to pay last respects to the
dead statesman. The population Of
the capital appears to be deeply i'm
pressed by the crime. Work has been
almost entirely suspended and most
of the business houses are closed. The

MYSTERIOUS
SHOOTING IN
PULLMAN CAR
Daughter Shst Mother in the
Formers Berth
Claims She thought Mother
Was Robber
Contradictory Statements Made
to Police

Philadelphia, Nov. 13.--Mrs. Eliza
beth Myers Of New York, was shot and
killed by her daughter on Pennsyl-
vania railroad train near here today.
The girl says she shot her mother in
mistake for robber.
They were on their way from Salem,
Va. to New York. The girl, Gladys,
and a passenger. w. II. Cuthbert OF
Lynchberg, Va. are being detained at
a Trenton, n. ]. hospital. The shoot
| ing occurred near Bristol, Pa. and the
train continued its journey to Trenton
where the woman WAS hurried to n
hospital. All efforts to save her life
were unavailing.
Miss Myers was so hysterical over
| The shooting that she scarcely could
tell a connected story. The police are
| disposed to accept her statement that
she shot her mother for robber AL
| though an element of mystery has been
injected into the tragedy because OF
contradictory statements by Cuthbert
and the girl.
Cuthbert says: 'T didn't know the
mother and daughter and only volun
tered my services TO them following
the shooting" o..
Miss Myers told the Trenton police
that Cuthbert was travelling with her
self and mother.
After Wedding Trousseau.
Trenton, n. j., Nov. 13.--According

ON their way to New York where
the daughter was to purchase her we'd
ding trousseau, as she was TO be mar
ried in June to J. Blair billiard, of
Salem, Va, where a son of Mrs. Myers
lives.
Mrs Myers and daughter have been
visiting young Myers at Salem and
recently returned home to Greensburg
and started yesterday from Pittsburg

chased a police revolver.

awakened when her mother went TO

this morning but that she dropped

from the prohibitionists of Ohio.

would give US no little satisfac-
ton to tell in His presence the
story OF the prohibition party
II is a tale of truth untarnlsh-
ed and Of faith that does not
compromise. The pages of its
book 10 wet with tears of women
and the hit of its sword is red
with the blood of heroes and
heroines. From its birth nearly
a half Gentry ago il has cried
aloud and spared not without
promise Of reward. II has
called to its banners hundreds
OF thousands Of clear-eyed pa
triots. who have marched and
stood and fought and died.
Without the emoluments of po-
Iitical victory. and having cheer
ed. few winning its leaders, It's
rank and file through unnumber-
ed campaigns where the quallh-
cations Of its enemies were less
disheartening than the refusal
of those who should have been
lis voting friends, it has offered
unfalteringly its political
prayer and declared increasingly.
PROHIBITION FOR THE STATE AND
NATION.
The past has been a glorious
past for truth is glorious and
defeat cannot destroy 1t. That
which is genuine when II
passes from the Creators hand
will neither be dimmed by age
nor cheapened by familiarity.
Honor is not decreased by con-
tact and truth is never out OF
tune. Divorce and insanity
are increasing; nine-tenths OF
the former are due directly OF
indirectly to the influence OF
liquor. Crime is increasing
under the stimulus and example
in every rum bound community
and the great cities of the com
monwealth are charmed houses for
virtue and police sanction dens
for white slavers. The liquor
traffic makes men and women
unfit socially and lacerates to
death every finer instinct.
