AUSTRIA BEGINS
BACKING AWAY
Announces That It VIII Not Proceed
Against King Nicholas Until
After Tomorrow's
Meeting.
CONFIDENCE RESTORED
Montenegro Has Been Told to Get
Out Of scutari Within Twenty

Still There.

limited Press Leased Wire Service
LONDON, April 30.The Montene-
grin situation was believed in diplo-
matte circles to be somewhat clarified
today by Austria-Hungary's announce
ment that the dual monarchy would
not proceed against King Nicholas un-
til after the meeting of the ambassa-
doris of the powers, scheduled for to-
morrow at the foreign office.
When Austria-Hungary yesterday
allowed semi-off1cial statement to
go forth that she would declare war
against the little kingdom IL Scutari
were not evacuated within twenty
four hours, after today, 1t was diplo-
matte move to urge the powers to
quicker action. Austria-Hungary be-
lieved that by threatening independ-
ent action that might involve other
nations, the powers might be persuad-
ed to take immediate collective steps
to coerce the defiant King Nicholas.

Dispatches from Paris, Berlin and
Vienna today said that the bourses
had a firmer tone than yesterday and
that apparently confidence had been
restored Nevertheless, the movement
of Austrian troops toward the from
tier continues and thousands of men
are under arms, ready for instant ac-
tion.
The report that Austria-H Hungary
had recalled her minister at Cettinje
apparently was without foundation.
Minister Not Withdrawn.
CETTINJE, April 3O.-The Monte
negrin foreign office today made
semi-official statement that the report
that Austria Hungary had withdrawn
her minister to Montenegro, is prema-
ture. 1t was said that the envoy,
Baron Giezel Won Gieslingen, is still
here.

Republicans Continue Their Attack
Upon Revision Measure But Are
Having Mighty Poor
Luck.

~
WASHINGTON April 30.-Partisan
divisions of the house were drawn in
battle array today for the first decis-
I've clash over the tariff. Schedule G
the iron and steel rates-was the
bone Of contention. Undaunted by
futile efforts yesterday to amend the
measure, the republicans today mar
shalled their forces for an assault up
on the proposed revision downward
OF duties on steel manufactures
Representative A. Mitchell Palmer
OF Pennsylvania, democratic caucus
chairman, was the chief lieutenant to-
day OF Majority Leader Underwood in
defense of the steel schedule. He is
credited with having written that sec
tion of the bill.
A few paragraphs OF the earthen-
ware schedule remained to be dispos-
ed Of when the house met, but it was
expected that these would be quickly
approved.
The minority faced continued stone
wall opposition of the democrats
against amendment OF the bill. or the
twenty-four pages so far finished, the
republicans have failed to amend a
single word. Notwithstanding, they
continued their attack and presented
flood of amendments.
Minority Leader Mann produced the
democratic steel bill of last session,
in an attempt to show that the major
ity. In the present bill, are inconsis-
tent and have receded from previous
tariff declarations.
Republican leaders assailed the
proposed increase on ferro-mang-
anesse, product used in making high
grade steel, from $3.50 to about $3.50
ia ton.
representative Moore said that the
steel trust made its own product
and that independents must import.
THE effect of this increase in
rates" said Representative Mann, "is
simply to add to the profits of the
United States Steel corporation and
give them increased power In their
fight against independents. .
Representative Miller, Minnesota,
republican, charged that the provision
placing iron ore on the free list was
for the benefit of the Pennsylvania
railroad, as the owner of the Pennsyl-
vania Steel company, which imports
Cuban ore.
That the placing of iron ore on the
free list was chiefly in the interest OF
Atlantic coast steel manufacturers
was declared by Representative Mann.
This bill discriminates in favor of
the steel trust and against the inde-
pendents,' Representative Fordney Of
Michigan, asserted.
Representative Farr. republican,
Pennsylvania, agreed with Fordney

A Word to the
Storekeeper.

What kind OF advertising are
the manufacturers whose goods
you handle doing for you?
Are they advertising merely
to create DESIRE for their
products?
Or are they really trying to
create a DEMAND?
General publicity may create
desire for an article. but the
only kind OF advertising that
benefits the retailer is the kind
that creates demand-the kind
that brings customers direct to
the store.
The one effective way of link
ing the retail store with ma
tionally distributed merchr adise
is to use daily newspaper space.
You, Mr.. Retailer, understand
the value of newspaper adyer-
tising.
Next time you talk with a
manufacturer who wants to
help you sell his goods through
advertising tell him what you
know about the efficiency of

LONDON, April 3O.-Scotland Yard

Of the militant suffragettes.
Superintendent Quinn OF Scotland
Yard and score of detectives in
plain clothes raided the place and al.
most before the women knew of their
presence, the officers were in posses
sion Of the entire building.
The raiders made no arrests, when
they first took possession of the
union headquarters but when some
of the more militant of the suffra-
gettes became obstreperous in their
protests and made efforts to interfere
with the policemen searching the
rooms, Superintendent Quinn ordered
several Of them taken into custody. .
As they were led away ~ uniform
ed men, the other women brandished
umbrellas and anything they could
lay hands on, but the squad of police.
men massed in front of the building
limited their resistance to words.
A dozen or more women Of the
union, including Mrs. Despard and the
cabinet" were il the place when the
raid occurred, but they were taken
by surprise, and had no time to hide
or destroy any thing before the po-
licemen hustled them into the street.
In spite of the angry protests of the
suffragettes, Superintendent Quinn
searched the entire building for docu-
ments and any other evidence that
might make legal evidence against the
militants, and confiscated all the
books and records of the organiza-
ton
All of the women were forced from
the building and warned rot to try 70

would be arrested if they did SO. A

was unwarranted and that the home
office had no authority for such ac-

rounded by a crowd of several thous-

bazoukeses." The taunts OF the
throng. some of which were none too
gentle, enraged the evicted militants
the more and some OF the women
openly threatened that before sun
down there would be doings that
would make Scotland Yard sit UP and
take notice.
