CHICAGO, July 30.-Riotous scenes
were renewed at the opening OF the
board Of trade today on the strength
of the overnight war developments
and wheat prices again jumped to
cents under a frantic rush to buy.
There were no offerings at the
start, The pit was jammed with
brokers shouting themselves hoarse
and shrieking their bids as prices
steadily mounted higher after the
opening. In fifteen minutes, September
wheat made an additional jump OF 3
cents and prices for all wheat futures
we're to Z cents over last nights
close.
The scene in the wheat pit today
has not been paralleled in years
Brokers caught short, found them
selves unable to buy grain when
alarming cables from the Liverpool
market set the pit seething with ex
element.
Corn and oats followed wheat In the
advance and the corn pit was the
scene of excited trading.
James A. Patten, famous wheat
king who is now in Europe and
Arthur Cutten, another big Chicago
dealer, are credited with having made
at least 100000 each by the sudden
rise in wheat prices.

TRIAL WAS A FARCE

United Press Leased Wire Service.l
WASHINGTON, July 30.-Protest
against deportation from Vera Cruz OF
Correspondent Fred L. Boalt, author
Of the law of fight" story, declared
not substantiated by naval board Of
inquiry, was made to Secretary OF
War Garrison today by Representa-
tives Falconer and Bryan of Washing
ton on behalf of Boalts employers.
Boalt is resident of Washington.
That the naval trial was '-prejudic-
ed and inadequate" and its findings
contrary to the evidence, was contend
ed by Falconer and Bryan.
New evidence was presented to
prove that "a law of flight" incident
similar to that described by Boalt
occurred. The brief said that Roy
Melten, of Galesburg, I'LL, blue jacket
on the battleship, wrote letter which
was published, describing such an In
cident.
Melten's letter said the American
forces would find Mexicans and If we
| wanted to shoot them we would, -ut
II not, we would take their guns
away from them and start them up
the street on the run; then we would
watch for some one else to pop up
and see some Of the other boys shoot
them.
That the naval trial was really a
trial OF Boslt and not Of Ensign Rich
ardson, whom Boalt says boasted OF
applying the law OF fight and thai
!; BoaIt was not advised and did not
understand that he was the complain
ant against Richardson and entitled
to be present during all testimony
was declared by Falconer and Bryan
It was also stated that Boalt was
not subject to the war correspond
ents, regulations when his story was
written June 10, not being accepted
as a. correspondent until three days
later.
The brief asserted that not until
lust before the inquiry closed, was
Boalt advised that he could be pres
ent during the sittings and that ne
! was compelled to "sum up as prosecu'
tor on testimony he had never heard
without counsel or an opportunity to
! rebuilt.
| That Boalt was threatened with con
tempt proceedings for sending caole
account, although court announced
! its sessions were open, were also as
| serted. =.
The procedure Of calling upon Boal'
to sum up case he had never even
heard, was little short of farc1al, the
two congressmen declared.
That three Vera Cruz correspond
ents, including Boalt, told of hearing
| of a law OF night incident, was stat
ed, despite the courts official hndings
that only one other than boalt testl
fed to that effect. The proceedings
were more in the nature OF an
exparte proceeding than one which
would result in judicial determination
Falconer and Bryan stated, the sec
| retary of war has not sufficient ground
for discrediting and deportins Boalt.

LONDON, July 80 AT sun
down tonight Europe stood
on the brink Of what Premier
Asqujth termed an "immeas-
urable international catas-
trophe.'' =
Not since Napoleon's re-
tu1n from Elba has all OF
Europe's attentions been SO TO
cused on one man. Tonight the
fate Of Europe hangs on the
next word Of Kaiser Wilhelm.
All offcialdom at heart be-
lieves the word will be for war.
Austria has invaded Servla.
Fighting between Austrian
and Servian forces is in prog
ress at several points. Bel.
grade has been occuple d.
Russia is mobilizing her
armies on the Austrian from
tier. The car has hurled the
official announcement Of the
fact across Europe. The kais-
er, avoiding the obvious, has
demanded no explanation OF
Russia. With an unsatisfac
tory reply from the czar a
certainty, the kaiser has de-
voted a day to putting the
German war machine in shape.
The answer to Russia's ex-
pected unsatisfactory reply
can only be a declaration Of
war from the kaiser. Further
pretence by diplomats and for
eign Offices has been drop
ped. st. Petersburg, Berlin,
Paris, London and Rome all
admit the reaching of the
crisis. All other capitals look
to Berlin for the next move.
AT no point is further hope Of
peace held out. Berlin alone
talks amity. The purpose is
obvious. Berlin is utilizing
every second Of delay. How
much time the kaiser needs
will determine the hour of the
move which must bridge the
crisis or plunge a continent in
to war.

BERLIN, July 3O.-The foreign Of
flee late this afternoon authorized the
United Press to make the following
statement:
Germany has taken decisive steps
at St. Petersburg, Paris, and Other
European capitals within the pas
hour, results Of which will determine
the issue OF war or peace"
Germany has faithfully kept the
peace and the reports c. mobilization
of German troops have been prema

been in the direction of peace. Nov

ures calculated to meet the danger

FIRST THOUSAND HAVE
BEEN KILLED IN WAR

cupation was effected late last even
ing. The Austrian troops are report
ed to have crossed the Danube on a
pontoon bridge, the Servians having
destroyed the bridge connecting Bel
grade and Semlin last Sunday.
1t Is believed that the occupation
was effected without any serious cp-
position from the Servians. The Serb
garrison withdrew on Sunday, taking
with 1t all artillery. Only an insig-
niticant infantry guard remained and
this is reported to have retired before
the Austrian advance, with only .
show of resistance.
The significance OF the reported
taking of Belgrade by the Austrtans
lies in the fact that the move consti-
tutes the first technical invasion Of
Servian territory-the thing which
Russia has announced would precipi-
tate the mobilization of the czar's
armies. While neither st. Petersburg
nor Vienna has officially confirmed
the occupation Of Belgrade. the fact
that Russia today formally announc-
ed the mobilization Of fourteen army
ported occupation.
| The chief strategic position. ac-
cording to Austria. lies in the fact
that Austrian engineers will now be
able to restore the Belgrade-Semlin
bridge, thereby facilitating the entry
into Servian territory of Austrian
troops and supplies. The capture OF
Belgrade will not affect the servian
government, which on last Sunday
was removed to Miss. $50 miles furthr
er south.

nNE of the handsomest ard most
~ original of the new fur-cloth suits
is very plainly pictured in the photo
graph that is reproduced here. This
use of fur-like pushes in entire cos
tunes has produced the most notable
of the seasons novelties, and every
woman who is interested will find a
lovely toilette depicted here in fault
less manner. One could not make a
mistake in copying 1t In every detail.
The suit is made with straight
hanging underskirt and long full
skirted coat, of moire plush in black.
The design is especially we'll suited
to the material, which seems most
rich and attractive in black. It is
black without hint of somberness,
having a glossy surface with the light
broken up by the pattern as effectively
as in cut jet. Dark brown and taupe
are admirable, too, and gray has many
admirers, in fur-cloths.
A waist of chiffor with sleeveless
overbodice of satin is worn with the
plush skirt, in the same color. The
bodice extends to the hips in straight
lines from the shoulder, ignoring the
waist line entirely.
The coat affords some definition OF

straight front with set-in girdle OF
heavy, striped silk. The body of the
coat is novel in cut. with the sides, at
the underarm, sloped to a point and
the skirt set on to fall In graceful
folds. The sleeves are set in and fin
ished with wide bands of light fur
The neck Is finished with a turnover
collar of fur and opens with revers al
the front. There Is vestee and turn
over collar of soft silk.
In the coldest weather the coat may
be fastened up close about the neck
the revers forming a double-breasted
fastening as warm as fur. An orna
ment, appropriately rich, finished with
a hanging tassel completes brilliant
and elegant garment.
The patent leather walking shoes
have gray cloth tops, the short, white
kid gloves are stitched with black, and
the large hat of black velvet Ii
trimmed with short, full Ostrich
plumes oddly mounted. For the
amount of outlay required, which l!
small as compared with that for an!
other costume that looks as rich, thi'
is unexcelled in elegance.
The Clio messenger., 1914-12-18

I OVELY and elegant small dress ac-
l. cessories, that catch the eye and TO-
Gus the attention, do more to earn
reputation for good dressing than
most women appreciate. 1t is because
she estimates the value of care of
details correctly that the woman Of
average income is often able to out
shine her Weather sister in the
achievement of distinction in dress.
Very little jewelry, and none Of that
very cheap, but an indulgence In the
pretty passing fads of the hour In
neckwear or girdles or corsage bou-
quets or wells, is the wise rule to fol-
low. They may be short-lived but
they add zest to the matter Of dressing
and charm to what would become 9th
erwise tiresome.
Just now ribbon flowers and new
neck ruffs are keeping their makers
fingers always busy. With coats fast
ened up tighter about the neck and
often finished with fur, there Is pro-
vhied just the setting for the little
epaulette bouquet of bright satin roses
or the small nosegay Of several flow
ers made of ribbon.
The Clio messenger., 1914-12-18

Then there are roses, mostly
American beauty colorings, but made
in pink or yellow, also, that are pinned
in the high-necked collar or on the
lapel of the open-throated coat. Bands
of velvet ribbon with frills OF maline
at the back fasten under single satin
half-blown rose. They are adorable
little beauty spots in the street cos
tune.
For the evening corsage splendid
roses of velvet, set In rose foliage, are
made and, for the youthful wearer,
s,.tin morning glories, with the ribs
of the flower outlined with the tiniest
of rhinestones. They are mounted
with millinery foliage or with leaf
made o. satin, like that shown in the
picture.
For the negligee and for lingerie,
ribbon daisies and small rosettes Of
narrow satin ribbons convert the most
matter-of-fact garments into things en-.
ticingly frivolous. We must all de.
pend upon such things, more or less,
to help out in the work-a-day world In
which flowers fulfill a sublime mission.
