WELL KNOWN MAN IS {.
PREMIER or SERNlA
From the New York World.

Belgrade, Servia--Nicholas PaShitch, the
Servian premier, the most widely known
mar In Europe. at the present moment, IL
"a years old, of average height, with a
good head, regular features and a long
white beard. He lives a retired life, avoids
publicity, is extremely modest, Is more OF
a professor than a politician and diplo-
mat, but Is endowed with great ~tenacity.
he Is no speaker. His opponents often teer
MIN Tor his bad grammar and accuse him
or being more Bulgarian than Servian,
even In his language. .'..
Still this man, devoid of culture and
without anything to appeal to popular
sentiment except his quiet patriotism, has
played the foremost part in organizing the
destruction of the Turkish power in Eu-
rope and the liberation Of the Balkans.
he studied as a young man at the tecfini-
cal schoo In st. Petersburg and the Poly
technic at Zurich, beginning life as a rail-
way engineer. He entered politics as a
socialist, but soon left that to found the
SerVlan radical party He first came to
be widely known through his opposition to
King Milan because that king refused to
longer follow Russian guidance, which in
Pashttch's view had been the salvation of
Servia.
He first became premier after Milan abb
dicated, but soon resigned. He was re-
instated after the assassination of King
Alexander n Queen Draga and has been
the leader OF the Servian people most Of
the time In the last nine eventful years.
Though determined and highly cour-
ageous. Pashitch Is not a. extremist and
will do nothing to risk what Servia has
achieved.

Shaw'sS Nurse.
From the New York Times.

ctSAl ~ 1NSW AOih 4AHlC6.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Bernard
Shaw were among the big speakers at
a big meeting OF Protestant Home
Rulers in London. Shaw, in a speech
which was mainly an argument for a
a cessation of petty religious strife in
order that Ireland might proceed with
social reform. introduced a story OF his
childhood. VS.
my father" he said. was an Irish
man n my mother was an Irish
woman. Both were Protestants, the in
tensity of whose faith would have
been described by q large number OF
their fellow countrymen as sanguin-
airy Professionalism. A large part OF
my mothers duties to me were dis
charged by an Irish nurse. That nurse
was a Roman Catholic, and she never
put me to bed without %sprinkling me
with holy water"
Referring 10 the laughter, which
greeted these remarks, Shaw added:
II cannot imagine anything that is
less worthy to be laughed at or more
touching than this picture OF an Irish
Catholic INIT sprinkling holy water
and you know what holy water was
to her--ou a little Protestant child
whose parents grossly u%nderpaid her"

RAPID PROGRESS ON
SANTA FE CUTOFF

Austin, Textile construction of the
last division Of 80 miles of the Atchin-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe cutoff be-
tween Lubbock, Tex, and Texico, has
advanced sufficiently to enable the
laying out of town sites along the new
road, and preparations are being made
for extensive agricultural developo-
ment in the territory it traverses. The
route Of this division of the new line
Is for almost the entire distance
through waht was formerly a part Of
the Capital Syndicate ranch, which
embraced 3.000,000 acres of land. All
through h region adjoining the orig
inal 5000, 600 acre property there has
been wonderful agricultural develop
ments accomplished during the last few
years. The portion Of the cutoff be-
tween Coleman Junction, Tex. and
Lubbock is finished and in regular
operation. The new line will form a
connecting link between the gulf d.
vision OF the Santa Fe and its old
transcontinental line, giving the system
a direct all-rail line between Callfor-
MIA and other western points and Gal
weston and as far east as the Louis
Vile line.
It is reported that the Missouri, Kan
a & Texas Is. negotiating for the
purchase of the franchise and rigir. Of
way and other holdings of the San
Antonio, Rockport & Mexican railway.
The latter line was projected to run
from San Antonio to Brownsville, with
q branch line to Rockport OIL the gulf
coast, h plans calling for the con-
struction of a total Of about 375 miles
Of track. The San Antonio, Rockport
& Mexican was promoted as an Eng
fish enterprise, but efforts to finance
the project are said to nave failed.
According to information received by
the state railroad commission, plans for
6na1Cfn0 the CON StruptiOn Of Iha ia
mile extension of the Enid, Ochiltree
& Western railroad have been accept
ed, and the grading work will soon be
started. The proposed extension is to
run from the present eastern terminus
of the line, IA miles from Dalhart, Tex,
to Ochiltree. When this division Is
finished, arrangements will be made to
still further extend the line to Enid,
Okla. This road vas recently pur-
chased by Charles Hamilton, OF Waco.

THOMAS E. WATSON'S TRIAL
COMES TO AN ABRUPT EN-

The trial of Thomas E. Watson in
Augusta, charged with sending OBJ
scene matter through the mails, end
ed abruptly at noon Monday when
Federal Judge Rufus E. Foster sus-
tanned a motion of the defense to
quash the Indictment against the
Georgia editor.
1t was done on the ground that the
indictment did not quote the entire
article published by Mr.. Watson.
Judge Foster said:
1T is my opinion that the gov
eminent is required to plead the en-
tire article, and is not entitled to
pick out few paragraphs here and
there and make them the basis of
an Indictment
He stated that if the government
were allowed to pursue such course it
would be possible to indict a person
for sending through the mails a copy
of the Bible. Judge Foster said that
in sustaining the motion of the de-
Tense he was not ruling upon the
question as to whether or not the ar
ticles were obscene, and that the
government might at any time pro-
coed to reindict.
1t is probable that nothing more
will be heard of the case.
