BELGRADE, Servia, March IL. =
Especial to The Advertiser)-The Aus
trian government today took a step
regarded as equivalent to forbidding
Servia to send troops to assist the Mon
tenegrins in capturing the Turkish for
tress of Scutari.
The Austrian minister to Servia, in
formed Premier Pasitch that his gov
eminent objected to Servian troops as
sisting in the siege at Scutari, which
was to become the capital of Albania.
He requested the immediate recall of
any Servian troops which had been
dispatched there.
The Servian minister, in reply, point
ed out that under the treaty arrange
ments Servia was compelled to assist
her allies without regard to the future
of Scutari,
The situation is regarded as ex.
tremely delicate. Feeling here is at
a high pitch over the step taken by
Austria.
The fortress of Scutari on the Mon
tenegrin frontier has been besieged by
the Montenegrins without material sue
cess since the beginning of the Balkan
war. Its capture and inclusion in the
Kingdom of Montenegro were the
chief reasons for King Nicholas join
ing in the hostilities.
When the European powers decided
in principle on an autonomous Albania

Is CAUSE OF RECORD VOTE
FOR GARDEN IsLANDERs.
(FrOm Wednesday Adyertisor,)

With tears in his voice and n speech
pronounced the most eloquent ever de-
livorcd by the orator, Representative
sheldon of Kauai yesterday pleaded in
vain for the life of his Bill to pave the
way for an appropriation OF eighteen
thousand dollars to repair and recon-
struct the Waimea (KauaD River en-
bankment.
A hard and unfeeling committee,
known as the finance watch dogs of
the public treasury, reported adversely
on tho bill and recommended IL DO
,ablcd 1t was so done and for the
irst time in the history of the Kauai
. Big Four was a division noticed in
rheir ranks, as Representative Spalding
Of the Garden Island voted with the
majority to lay the bill on the table.
Doctor Huddy, who was during two ses-
sion under the hypnotic control of the
venerable Kauai legislator also had the
temerity to vote differently from his
one time colleague.
Sheldon explained the freshct once

and was drowned; the mother, in try

friend, who answered the call of dis.
tress, also lost his life in the stream.
The embanltment was to restrict the
water course, said sheldon.
Representative Irwin thought that
would be bad, as restricting the width
of the river would afford the dear anna

sheldon had Just little while before
been so soicitous over the Hawaiian

Chairman Watkins of the cold.blood-

Kauai member, and then he launched

Hawaiian, but he could not work the

which tabled the bill, was carried on

Sheldon scratched his short and crisp
white top.piece and a little but hard
coaXed smile covered his vexation, for
Sheldon had worked hard for the
project and has done so now for three
sessions. Four and two years ago the

LEE YIN JoU DECLARES THE MAN

(From "Wednesday Advertiser)


Lee Yin Jou, charged with the muir
der of Wong Fook on board the Korea

yesterday morning in his own defense
for he had no other witnesses. The
youth IS story indicate his defense
which had hitherto been somewhat oil

meEt of the quarrel over the card game
until he found himself in irons in the
ships brig, his mind was blank. Ht

gun or the shooting.
In other words, the young Chinese
declared that he was hypnotized by the
man he slew. Witnesses for the gov
eminent had testified that Wong FOoE
shook his finger repeatedly in the face
| of Lee Lin Jou, and it is claimed by
the defense that Wong Fook hypnotizet
the boy, suggested TO MIN that he
should get his gun, ana forced Lee Vii
Jou to kill him, by excIaiming "shoO
me, Shoot me, +" when the slayer re
turned with the pistol.
Lee Lin Jou's story impressed thu
| jury to an extent that several of then
asked him questions, as to whether HI
smoked opium, or had ever been af

to both questions the prisoner made {

into the responsibility for the site

after the collapse 1t was reported from

board of inquiry would probe deeply
into many features connected with the
selection of the dock site, which would
call for testimony from former com
mandants and naval engineers,
1t is also suggested in statement,
which was sent out from Washington to

yet get into serious trouble.
There is destined to be a revival of
the original controversy, with, perhaps,
some more or less sensational disclos.

instance, that the difference of opinion
prevailing at one time, a few years ago,
resulted in the estrangement of some
of the officers who were engaged in
determining the most suitable site for
the dock.
The news of the disaster to the dry
dock caused sensation at Washington,
in the navy department where IL was
supposed that the difficulties encoun-
tered by the engineers and the con.
tractor AT Pearl Harbor had been over.
