INTEREST?
ORIGINAL TRAIL
ENDS AT SANTA FE

Kansas City, Mo-, April 29.-Wheth
er the western end of the proposed
|oCean-to-ocean highway shall pass
through a section for scenic beauty
or along a route replete with historical
interest probably will be decided at
the annual meeting of the National
Old Trails association, which began
here today.
The original "Old Trails route
across the continent ends at Santa Fe,
n M. Lovers of the historical con-
tend that the route from that point
should follow the old Doniphan trail
and the Kearney road which gained
their names from General Alexander
w. Doniphan and General Stephen
Kearney.
Delegates following the scenic route
want the road built directly west from
Santa Fe through the mountains by
way of the Grand Canyon, reaching
California at Barstow, thence to Los
Angeles and up the coast to San Fran
cisco.
New Mexico and Arizona towns
which are opposed to the Scenic
route sent delegates at large against
the southern route.

QUEEN LEANS ON
WAR HERO'S Arm

London. April ga rumor spread
on the stock exchange today that Aus
trian troops had entered Montenegro
No confirmation was obtainable.
Cettinje, April 29.-Crown Prince
panilo, of Montenegro, was welcomed
with an ovation on his arrival here to-
day to hand over to King Nicholas the
keys of the fortress Of Scutari. The
formal ceremony was greeted with
cheers from the excited crowd.
The members of the royal family
afterward marched in procession to
the Cathedral, the queen and each OF
the ladies giving her arm to a wounded
soldier.
Vienna, April 29.-The Austro-Hun-
garian government is dissatisfied with
the failure Of the conference Of am
bassadors in London to initiate decis-
i've action against Montenegro and is
continuing its preparations for i'm.
portant action.
Exchanges Of views are proceeding
between Austro-Hungary, Germany
and Italy.
AUSTRIA TO ACT.
London, April ga special corre-
spondent telegraphing from Vienna
puts the Austrian attitude in regard
IT, Montenegro in precise form as fol
lows:
"Austro-H Hungary, finding that the
ambassadorial conference in London
yesterday produced no results, has de-
c.ded to take matters into her own
hands and to carry out the decision
Of the powers regarding Scutari."
SIT TRUE?
London, April 29.-Neither the Brit.
ish foreign office officials nor the for
eign diplomats here have any confirm
alton of the reports that Austria Hun
gary has decided to take independent
action to force Montenegro to evacu-
ate the city of Scutari and they dis
credit them Such course would be
so absolutely opposed to the attitude
adopted by the Count Won Mensdorff-
aullly-DletrlchSteln, the AuStrO-HuH-
garian ambassador, at the London con-
ference of ambassadors yesterday,
that it is considered impossible.
Both Italy and Germany, it is known,
are strongly averse to any attempt
being made to coerce Montenegro, un-
less such action is undertaken by all
the powers jointly.
AUSTRIA IN EARNEST.
Geneva, Switzerland, April 29.-All
the Austrian troops in the Tyrol, num-
bering several thousand, considered
Ibe flower of the army, have left for
the frontiers of Montenegro and Novi-
pazar. Other troops are arriving in

MINERS RETURN
THEIR WORK

Charleston, w. Va. April 2o.-Re.
Eorts from the strike districts of Pain
aid Cabin creeks today say that min
ers are returning to work at all the
mines, with no disturbance. In few
instances operators have refused to
take back some of the strike leaders
formerly in their employ, but these
men are securing work at other mines.
Governor Hatfield has offered his
services to plead the cases of these
men if necessary. The governor is
still in the strike region. If there are
70 further disturbances, it is expect
ed that the few militiamen now in the
field will be withdrawn soon.
