MONTENEGRO MENACED
BY 100000 AUSTRlANS
Large Forces of Greeks and Bulgari-
ans Face Each Other as Ally
Is In Peril.

London, May Zone hundred thou
sand Austrian troops are now moving
in the direction of the Montenegrin
frontier, according to an Antivari dis
patch to the Mail. The majority of
these are from Syria. A large, num-
Der of Austrian troops also are pro-
ceeding to Antivari by sea. A council
of war was held at the Austrian for
eign Office Wednesday in Vienna.
A Vienna dispatch to the Times says
in the event of Austria attempting to
coerce Montenegro there is little doubt
that it would be supported by Italy,
which probably would occupy Santa
Quaranta and Avlona, while Austria
would proceed against Lovchen noun
tain and Scutari. In order to avoid
needlessly offending Russia, the action
against Seutari would be carried out
through Albania, not from Herzego-
VIVA.
The Sofia correspondent of the
Times learns that the Greek and Serv-
ian forces now massed in southern
Macedonia aggregate 100000. They
are confronted by three Bulgarian di-
visions totaling $4,000 men.
The Bulgarian government, the dis
patch adds, is exhausting every means
to arrive at a friendly arrangement
with Servia and Greece, but the dan
ger Of conflict is still Imminent

Racine.-Journeym plumbers, car
benters and fathers refused to go to

ing contractors have decided to organ

SUFFRAGETTES ARE RAIDED:
DEFEAT FOR VOTE Is SEEN
Mrs. Pankhurst Stunned by Raids on
Headquarters by London
Police.

London, May Mrs. Pankhurst
and her aides are fearful that the end
of militant fights for suffrage is not
far off, following raids by Scotland
Yard officers on Wednesday, under
orders from the home Office, on the
headquarters of the suffragettes and
the arrest of six leaders of the cause
on charge of conspiracy to do ma
licious damage.
Il was learned on the best author
ity that Mrs. Pankhurst and close aids
have been convinced for some time
that the game is up, as far as mill
fancy is concerned, but that they de-
cided to suppress their convictions
through fear OF harming their cause.
They decided that the slightest
weakening in their action would cause
the organization to collapse, therefore
they have counseled ever increasing
drastic meaGures.
Mrs. 0. H. P. Belmont left for Paris
today after a disagreeable visit to
London.
She visited Mrs. Pankhurst at Nor
folk square, staying with her an hour,
discussing the police raid on the suf-
fragette headquarters and the sup
preston of the Pankhurst organiza-
ton.
General Mrs. Flora Drummond,
who was on bail, was rearrested. Miss
Barbara Kerr, secretary of the Wom-
ems Social and Political union; Misses
Lake, Lennox and Barrett and Mrs.
Saunders, who were in charge of the
Office, also were arrested. Counsel for
the treasury warned American con-
Stributors to the cause that other pros
ecutions might be made.
The refusal to grant bail on any
conditions to the leaders arrested in
the raids is a new departure and
greatly increases the difficulties of the
militant organization.

PEACE DELEGATES
CLASH At RALLY
Demand That Nations Keep
Strong Military Forces.
FAIRBANKS ASKS FREE CANAL
Former Vice-President Holds United
States Errs in Attitude Toward
Great Britain in Pana-
ma Controversy.

ST. Louis, May 3.-Declaring that
| disarmament was impracticable two
! delegates to the national peace con-
gress here surprised their fellow dele.
gates on Thursday by taking issue
with speakers on the platform on the
question of disarming all nations.
There is no telling how soon the
United States will have to go to war
in the interests Of humanity" said
Henry A. Dadmun, secretary of the
Army and Navy league. 1T was my
good fortune to attend the last con-
ference at The Hague. 1t was the
weight of our navy that gave weight
to our words at that conference. A
display of force is unnecessary.
If the United States had had an
adequate navy in 1861 the war might
have been prevented, or at least It
could have been closed much earlier
than it was"
Andrew B. Humphrey, secretary of
the American Peace and Arbitration
league, also opposed what appeared
to be the general seuse of the meet
standing for an armament consistent
with existing conditions and sufficient
to preserve peace. The soldier does
not cause war, he added, but is called
to settle it.
Jenkin Lloyd Jones of Chicago was
among those who advocated disarma-
ment. Booker T., Washington urged
that I'VE should teach the youth of
our land to exalt the man of industry
and science above the man of war
That the United States is under a
moral obligation to admit the ships
of other nations to the Panama canal
on the same terms as it admits Amer
lean vessels was urged in an address
before the peace congress by Charles
w Fairbanks.
The former president said he
believed the issue would be settled
"by ourselves in harmony with our
national duty
I'm the event, however, that we are
not able to accept the view that we
are not entitled to preferential treat
ment," Mr.. Fairbanks added, then we
owe it to ourselves and to Great
Britain and other nations to submit
the question to the determination Of
an impartial tribunal
Charles S. Beals of Chicago, direc-
tor of the central west department Of
the American Peace society, said that
were it not for the army and navy
men who covet promotion, and the
war supplies corporations, the nation
would cease to hear of wars.
War scares trotted out when a
military and navy appropriation bill
is to be damned through" he said,

Poll of California Senate Shows
Almost Unanimous Vote.
WILSON APPEALS TO JOHNSON
President Sees Possible Long and Del
icate Litigation on Certain Cues
tons in Proposed Webb
Measure.

Sacramento, Cal, May 3.-Though
the state senate has temporarily post
poned passage of the anti-alien land
bill. poll of the upper house shows
that when a vote is taken it will pass
by an almost unanimous vote. Sena-
tor Leroy A. Wright of San Diego was
the only senator who openly declared
his opposition.
Governor Johnson on Thursday ap-
pealed to directly by President Will
son. sent back a message declaring
that he intended to stand pat.
Secretary of State Bryan put il a
busy day The governor took him
down to Florin to view a Japanese col
only in action. When he got back he
sent for members of the Democratic
minority by ones and twos and dis
cussed the proposed bill in a general
way.
The passage between the president
and Governor Johnson was the sharp
est clash of the day. The president,
under the impression that he saw
some litigation in the Webb bill, wired
the governor as follows:
"I take the liberty of calling your
attention to the Webb bill, which
would involve an appeal to the courts
on questions of treaty rights, and
bring on what might be long and deli
cate litigation.
(Signed) Woodrow Wilson.
The governor replies as follows, and
went into the consultation with At
torney General Webb:
81 thank you very much for your
suggestions. The fault may be due
to the fact that we have endeavored
to preserve affrmatively upon the
face of our bills the existing treaty.
I have referred the matter at once
to our attorney general, and / would
be extremely grateful for any sugges-
ton that would avoid the objection
you mention.
(Signed) Hiram W. Johnson.
After his exchange of views with
Attorney General Webb, the governor
sent a letter to Senator Newton w.
Thompson. who has charge Of the
Webb bill on the floor of the upper
house. In this letter the presidents
message was quoted, and the gov
ernor voiced his stand-pat determine
ton.

dent Wilson's warning reached the
