AUSTRIA MOVES TROOPS?
Montenegro Ports to Be Seized, q
Report Says.

London, April 2S.-According to
report published in Berlin, the
Austrian naval division has left
Trieste with ten thousand troops,
with the intention of occupying An
tivari, Dulcigno and San Giovanni
di Medua and advancing against
Cettinje.
The Strassburger Post asserts
that the German emperor has receiv-
ed telegram saying the Austrians
have already entered Montenegro.
This probably is premature, but lit
tie doubt now is felt that Austria
is determined to move alone unless
the ambaSsadorial conference at
today resolves upon Euro
pean action.

cur 100 YEARS OFF SENTENCES
For Prisoners who Assisted in Fight
ing the Fire.

Topeka. April 2s.-Special sery-
fee TO the state will be recognized
and rewarded by Governor George
H. Hodges within the next few days
when he will take one year Of time
off the sentence OF each convict who
assisted in fighting the fire which
threatened the penitentiary At Lam
sing early in April. At least one
hundred convicts will be benefited
by the blanket Communication and
their names will be announced as
soon as Warden Codding and s. r.
Seaton, pardon clerk, have carefully
prepared list of the convicts who
are entitled to this recognition by
the governor and reward by the
state. Several citizens of the state
have written to Governor Hodges
suggesting that he should take some
time off the sentence Of each of the
one thousand convicts at Lansing
because of their conduct at the time
of the fire, but the governor feels
that these suggestions have come
from people who are not fully posted
as to the facts. When the fire was
discovered 1t so happened that most
of the convicts were locked in the
cell houses. Few except TRUSTEES were
outside the cell houses. When the
need for men to help fight the fire
was discovered men in whom the Of
ficers had the greatest confidence
we're selected to be released from
the cell houses and these men were
all made to feel that an opportun-
ity was presented to them to do
for the state that would
entitle them to special consideration
at the hands Of the governor. Some
Of these men will probably receive
additional rewards in the way of adj
iitional Communication because of ex-
hazards taken in fight
ing the fire, but every man who in
any way helped save the states prop
srty will receive some sort of recog.
lition. Governor Hodges feels that
he state was indeed fortunate that
he fire broke out at a time when
most OF the convicts we're confined
n the cell houses. Had the alarm
been given a few minutes later when
The convicts were all gathered in
he mess hall for noon meal, the
outcome might have been different
Is desperate men would have no
doubt have attempted to lead a
stampede. But as things happened
he desperate men were securely
ocked up and the officers released
nto the prison yard chosen men.
