Quarrel With Wife.

NEW YORK, July 27-Charles Stew
art Parnell, the Brooklyn young man
who shot two men and a woman on a
southbound Boston express Saturday
night soon after it entered the city
limits, bitterly repents his mad action.
II never meant to shoot anybody" he
said in the Bronx county Jail yesterday.
II was crazy My wife and had quar-
relied and she had left me to go to her
people in Springfield. Mass, and my
domestic troubles upset me-"
Parnell is constantly asking his jail
ers for news of the condition Of his
victims. Austin Dyce, the sailor, who
was probably fatally shot, was still
alive today, but the physicians say he
cannot recover. Mrs. Bessie Thorsen,
who was shot in the face. is recovering.

Hope Lies in Germany.
The mere fact that hostilities between
Austria-Hungary and Servia had not be-
gun gave Europe in general the hone to-
day that war might be averted. There
was, however, little change in the situa-
ton, and the more optimistic feeling was
largely based on the belief that the Ger
man emperor. who returned to Potsdapl
today from his cruise in northern waters,
would throw his influence into the bal
ance in favor Of peaceful settlement of
the dispute.
Another factor in favor of a peaceful
arrangement was that the Austrian am
bassador In st. Petersburg had shown
willingI ess to discuss matters with the
Russian foreign minister.
1t was said this morning that Austria
Hungary would not move her forces
against the Servian capital until tomor-
row, which is confirmation of q state
ment by the Austrian ambassador In
London yesterday-that Austria Hungary
desired TO give Servia further time to
consider her reply to the ultimatum
from Vienna.
Outside of Austria-H Hungary and Ger
many the reply sent by Seryia is re-
garded very fair one. as il grants
all the demands which n sovereign state
could grant.
Mediation Seems Unlikely.
1t is pointed out that there is little use
in Servia appealing for mediation. how
ever, since Austria-Hungary has de-
clared the matter to be between her and
Seryia. and in this she is backed up by
Germany and Italy. her partners in the
triple alliance.
In the meantime all the nations of

AIMS TO PAY CLAIMS

Commissioner Siddons Drafting Bill

deficiencies in the settlement OF pension

by the District Commissioners at the be-

Commissioner Siddons is at work on a
bill which not only will aim to revitalize
the pension fund, but to bring about re-
organization of the system under which
policemen and flremen are retired. a draft
of the measure will be presented to the
full board of Commissioners for consid-

age limit and have served a prescribed
length Of time In the departments. I'm
der existing law pensions are granted
only to those who have been injured or
are suffering from illness incurred in the
line of duty.
Shortage Incurred in June.
The pension fund deficit was increased
in the amount of $3,S4O72 during the
fiscal year that closed June 80. last. The
shortage was incurred only during the
month or June, as an increase OF
$1,000 in Police Court fines enabled the
District to make full payments to pen
sioners during the other eleven months.
Commissioner Siddons is understood to
be opposed TO the principle of having the
maintenance of the pension fund depend
ent upon Police Court collections, and
probably will eliminate this feature from
the new bill. He is making a careful
study OF the police and firemen's pen
sion laws in other cities, and hopes to
recommend for Washington a law that
NAV be considered a model.

DENIES southern
AIDS COAL TRUST
President Fairfax Harrison of
Railway Takes Stand in
Senate Probe.

President Fairfax Harrison of the
southern railway today took the stand
in the investigation being conducted by
Senate committee into alleged discrirai-
nations in the matter of coal freight
rates against south Atlantic ports. He
denied absolutely the charge that certain
members of the board of directors of the
Southern had brought about high coal
freight rates on the Southern in the in
terests Of the coal trust" which is said
to ship it's coal over the Norfolk ano
Western, Chesapeake and Ohio and other
roads to tidewater ports north of Cape
Hatteras, Va.
Mr.. Harrison declared that he would re-
sign his office as president of the South
ern if he thought that the stockholders
had elected directors of the road men
who were disloyal to the interests Of the
CATION made by B. +. Dulaney, the Brls-
tol, Tenn. coal operator. whose charges
caused the present investigator, tnat
Adrian Iseln, George +. Baker, 5r.; judge
Gary and others who have been ON tne ol.
rectorate and the executive committee OF
the Southern had acted In the interests
Of the coal trust" was untrue.
Denies Undue Discrimination.
Judge Gary. he said. was made a men,
Der of the executive committee at his own
(AIr. Harrisons) suggestion in the days
when interlocking directorates were not
looked upon askance, because of the large
holdings Of the Southern in the Birming
ham district. Mr.. Harrison. however, de-
MED there had been any undue discrim-
ination by the Southern in the matter of
freight rates on coal.
"Mr Dulaney," said Mr.. Harrison, ''is
suffering from a delusion. He believes
that he is being prosecuted" Mr.. Harri-
son intimated that Mr.. Dulaney suffered
from this delusion because he had failed
to succeed where other men had made
successes.
In order to show the committee why
the Southern railway had not gone ahead
with the building of coal piers at Charles
ton. S. c., and taken other steps to de-
velop the coal-carrying trade to south
Atlantic ports, Mr.. Harrison read letters
written by himself to the late President
Finley of the Southern, in 1908, after the
panic of 1907. These letters indicated
that it was almost impossible for the
Southern to raise money and that with
difficulty loan Of 100000 had been
negotiated at an interest charge Of 10
per cent. Mr.. Harrison insisted that the
road had not made the extensions and
developments demanded by Mr.. Dulaney
because 1t did not have the money to
do so.
