Drumbeg. Ireland, July I5.-Tha Orangemen's demonstration here today eliminated in a scene of immense en- thusiasm around the tiny platform where Sir Edward Carson. Bfble In hand, pledged the covenanters never to surrender to coercion. to remain loyal to the throne and never to waiver in their support of their lead- CTS in the fight against home rule
 Sir Edward Carson, in a speech which evoked tremendous enthusiasm, served notice on the British govern ment that unless it was prepared to leave Ulster alone it would very short ly find the Ulster men recognizing no government except the provisional government of Ulster. He said he had been given authority to act and, if necessary, that meant he was to en- ercise' his powers without regard to consequences to himself. The Ulsteg men. he added, were not going to give way and were bound to win because God would defend the right.
 Sir Edward said the only possible alternatives of the government were to give Ulster a clean cut out of home rule or of fighting the Ulster men. Ulster. he concluded. was claiming only justices and if it did not get it from the government would take it for itself

Vera Cruz July 13.-Four hundred lasborers acting under orders from Mexico City started work today re- pairing the gap in the Mexican rail- way connecting Vera Cruz with the capital, and the rushing of the work is believed to indicate a possibility that the first train to pass over the repaired road may be a special con- veying General Huerta and his fam fly to the coast.
 Quantities of rails and ties have been hauled to the break a little over six miles from the city of Vera Cruz. and the two miles stretch which has been without rails since April q. will be restored to working order within two days at the most.

Result of Reports of Projected Ser

Vienna. Austria, July 13.-Panic prevailed among the members of the Austrian community in Belgrade Ser via, last evening in consequence of reports of projected Servian ven geence for the alleged Austrian per- secution of Serbs in Bosnia
 A general attack on the Austrian legation and consulate as we'll as the private residences of Austrians, is said to have been planned. A timely inti- nation, however. that the Servian government would be held responsi- ble for anything Of this nature that might occur, led Premier Pachitch to organize such defensive measures with the aid of the police and military that no outbreak occurred.
 Many Austrian residents of the Ser Nian capital fed across the border to the frontier town of Semlin.

Quit Because of Complete Failure of
 Breeze.

Newport, R. l., July 1S.-The cup defenders sailed two-thirds of a race today in the faintest of airs, quitting at the second mark because of the complete failure of the breeze. The Resolute and Vanitie had turned the buoy with the former three minutes ahead and the Defiance half mile away was beating up to the mark, when the regatta committee post poned further hostilities until Thurs day.
 At no time during the five hours in which the three yachts rolled about in the long ground swelis was the breeze over three miles an hour, and the greater part of the time it was mere breath, besides being extreme ly uncertain in direction. The stray whiffs from several points of the com pass on the first leg brought the only excitement of the day as it placed each of the three yachts in turn in the lead, only to completely alter their po- sitions in the next five minutes.

CONTEMPORARIES BATTLE OF THE

GREAT PROCESSION
The Nationalist and Orange Proos.- sions Jesred Each Other, But the Police Succeeded in Keeping Them Apart Until Danger Was Over.

London. July 13--The recognition of the danger inherent in the existence of TWO armed volunteer bodies seems to nave lmoued lrishmen with a sense oL auoed responsibility and the battle or the Boyne was commemorated to- day in Ireland with tremendous en- thus1asm- But there was a more mo- ticeable absence of disorder than on past occasions of this kind.
 Following the custom, a great pro- Gession marched from Belfast to Drumbeg where Sir Edward Carson. the Ulster Unionist leader. made his now familiar speech defying the gov ernment either totally to exclude Ul- fight
 Lord Londonderry at EnnislziIIen and w alter Hume Long Unionist member of parliament, for Strand, Garvagh. made speeches in similar vein to other big demonstrations of Ulster men. put no disorder was reported at any point up to a late hour tonight
 Rival nationalist and Orange pro- sessions at Gendermot reached the stage of Jeering at each other and for lew moments it looked like trouble. but the police succeeded in keeping them apart until the danger was over.
 unrestrained Language Ussd.
 One feature of the situation seems to be that while Sir Edward Carson ana the other leaders are using unre- strained language. both Ulster men and the nationalists are showing ad- mirable self control Another feature is that the more defiant the Ulster leaders speeches become, the more pronounced becomes the feeling among the members of parliament on both sides that satisfactory compromise will eventually be reached.
 Premier Asquith announced in tha house of commons today that the pres ent session of parliament would come to an end about the close of August and that the new session would begin in early winter, which is thought to mean December. Before the present session ends, the government will in- troduce its proposals for the reform of the house of lords
 Under this arrangement home ruls and Welsh disestablishmenf will au- tomatically pass into law by the end of August Rumors of the early disso- lution of parliament continue to f,oaa around, but there is nothing to sub- stantiate them.

All Vessels from Infected Ports Thor
 oughly Disinfeeted.

New York, July 13.-Unusual pre-, cautions are being taken by the guar antine authorities to guard New York against the bubonic plague. All ves- sells from infected ports, including those from New Orleans, are thorough ly disinfected on arrival and are com pelled to place rat guards in position.
 As a further guard against infection, Dr. Joseph J. O'Connell, health officer of the port, has appointed Dr. Oscar Teague of the Cornell university re- search laboratory as director of the new meteorological laboratory at quar- antine.
 Dr. Teague was sent to Mukden from Manila in 1911 as the American delegate to the international plague conference when the epidemic was at it's height in Manchuria. Previous to this. he. served in Manila from 1908 in the bacterioiogieaI department of the bureau of science and collaborated with several physicians in the produc- tion of Studies on Bubcnic Plague and Plague Immunization."

PROBATE JUDGE PECK
 STANDS pIsRARREp.
Supreme Court of Errors Decides
 Against stratford Man.

New Haven. Conn, July 1s.-The ap- peal of Judge Charles H. Peck of Stratford from the ruling of the su- perior court disbarring him indefinite ly from the practice of law in this state was denied and the ruling of the court upheld by the supreme court of errors in a decision handed down here today. The disbarment grew out of MT. Peck's Susan M. B. Perry of Stratford while he was judge of the probate district. The decision disbarring him was hand ed down by Judge William l.. Bennett in the civil side Of the superior court last January. It was the contention of the state in the proceedings before that court that while the Perry estate was being settled in his court Judge Peck accepted fees as an attorney for him. self and that he charged x750 for his services. Judge Peck claimed in hIs defense that Mrs. Perry wanted him work he had done for her previous to her deathVand that after her death, if there was any contest over the prop erty, he WAS to act as confidential 1t- torney to the administrator of the es- tate.
 In its decision the supreme court says: Tn this case the question for the determination of the court was whether the respondent by reason of his past conduct, considering his Quali- IlcS or CQaTdCLeT anu upT1BnIneSSy was a fit person to be longer allowed io exercise the functions of an attorney and to act as an officer of the court m the administration of justice. Into the determination of this question there entered large measure of judicial dis cretion to be exercised not arbitrarily or under the Influence of hatred or prejudice, but reasonably. fairly and dispassionately. The accused attor- ney was entitled to notice of the charge against him and opportunity to be heard. A fair. dispassionate investiga- ton and a reasonable exercise of the judicial discretion fails to discover where he has not been accorded all these rights. There is no error."
 Nineteen other decisions were hand ed down. z
