would return on Saturday.
The youth had become, while at col

were ignorant of that So when he

SESSION IS HELD UPON
 IRISH CRISIS

London, July 24-The Buckingham Palace conference met again today, ands held the shortest of its sessions. The meeting was called for Il o'clock The chairman, tho Rdght Hon. James Low ther,& Premier Ascuith and Chancellor of the Exchequerj David Lloyd George representing the Lfberals, Andrew Bo-, mar Law and the Marquis of Lsns- downe, of the regular conservative op-] position, Sir Edward Carson and Cap tain James Eraigg, Ulster Unionists and John Dillon Irish Nationalist, ar rived at the palace at that hour.
 John Redmond through a, misund err standing, was a half hour late Dis cussion Of the Ulster situation lasted only forty minutes and the members | left the palace NO statement was given out as to the result of today s conference
 It was expected an announcement would be made in the House of Com was general in the Hobbies of the House of Commons that the conference had failed in it's immediate purpose and that no definite agreeme ment had been reached. Members awaited 8hxfoIs1ys the announcement as to the actual st. uat5on to be made by Premier As- qufth.
 According to the Liverpool Daily Post one of the leading liberal news papers, it is frankly acknowledged to- day that the effort made by the confer ences at Buckingham Palace to recon cile the conflicting views of the Irish Nationalists and the Ulster Unionists must be abandoned. The newspapee adds that the report Of this unhappy result of the conference of the Iead- CTS of the Liberal Conservative, Irish Nationa1istss and Ulster Unionfst par ties will be published in the Court Cir cular this evening F
 Except among the extreme radicals and labor members, who are opposed to a conference of any kind and think the matter should have been fought out on the floor of the House of Corn- mons. it is felt in parliamentary cirs4 cles that the meetings of the political leaders in Buckingham Palace have done much good It was pointed out that they had shown how far the op- position Irish parties were prepared to go and that this would assist the gov ernment in reftaning it's bill to amend the Irish home rule bill.
 Sir Edward Carson and his follow CTS. during the conference.y it was un- derstood, abandoned their demand for the clean cutting of the province of Ulster from the control of the Dublin I parliament and were prepared to ac- cept the division of six counties The to leave the four northeastern coun- ties of Ulster out of the control of l Dublin and to allow the counties of Tyrone and FeTmanagh to take a. vote on the question whether they should be included or not. Neither party, however, would consent to- go a step l further.
 The suggestion of the Right Hon. | James Lowther, chairman of the con- ference. that Tyrone and F'ermana.gh should remain out temporarily proved unacceptable to either party.

WESTPORT WINNER IN LEGAL BATTLE
 OVER R. R. BRIDGE


 The Town of sVestport won a pre- H1ninary legal slxirmish today when Judge Futile of the superior court handed down a decision overruling the Connecticut Co.'S demurrer on the towns appeal from the Public Utilities' commissioners. The dispute is about the bridge over the Sauga- tuck river. which the trolley company claimed was unsafe
 A petition was filed with the Pub lie Utilities commissioners asking for the repairing and reconstruction of the bridge and to determine what pro portion of the cost should be borne by the company. The commissioners held hearing and found the bridge, unsafe even without trolley travel s Repairs were ordered on the draw, about 135 feet in length, and the Con necticut Co. was ordered to pay 25 per cent of the cost The town ap- pealed from this decision, declaring it unjust. A demurrer to this appeal was filed by the company, alleging That only legislative and sadministra- tive power were involved, which were not subject to review by the court.

AN ULTlMATUM IS ISSUED BY AUSTRIA
 IN SERVIAN CASE

Berlin. July 24.-The grave possibiI- ities coAnected with the strong Aus trian note to servia which took vir- tually the form of an uItimatum de- manding the suppression of the pan servdan movement and purish1dent of those concerned in the assassination on June 2S in Bosnia of the late Arch duke Francis Ferdinand are recog- nized in official circles here. It is real ized in these quarters that further se- srious deveiopments in sfhe Austro- Serv1an relations are inekitable un- less Servia complies with the Austrian demands.
 It is believed in authoritative quar- ters that the Servians will yield un- less assured Of support from outside and for stFis reason official eyes here than to St Petersburg, where the de- cisfon of the council Of ministers is expected to settle the question of peace or war.
 It was stated today that Germany had not been consulted in regard to the Austrian note to Servla before it's delivery but that she thoroughly ap- proved the step taken and was pre- spared for all the consequences that might ensue from it. It was pointed out that, should Russia take part against Austria, Germany was fully prepared to draw the sword on behalf of her ally in accordance with the terms of the triple alliance between Germany, Austria. and Italy
 Comment in the German press today strongly supports Austria Radical organs such as the Tageblatt and the Frankfort Gazette which are in close touch with the financial world and usually are strongly pacific, dnde the terms of the Austrian note amply justified.
 Austrian newspapers, such as the Zietung- Am 7A1dttag and the vossisch zietung, which are quickly responsive to the popular sentiment evidently feel the influence of the assassination of the archduke-

 JURY'S NOTICE Judge Orders Men to Ig- nore Statements Tn Wake
 field Trial CHILD RUNS TO HER
 MOTHER IN COURT Judge Webb Sits With Reed As Spectator at Trial
 of Woman

New Haven, July 24.-The defense in the Bessie J. Wakefield murder case began putting in it's evidence to- day in the superior court here There was some delay in starting the pro- ceedjngs, which was explained when States Attorney filling moved, after the jury had been called in, to strike out certain parts of testimony sub mftted by the prosecution. Judge Joel Fl. Reed granted the motion and ad- vdsed the Jury that the evidence ,hav- ing been stricken out Of the record, houId be dismissed from their minds entirely.
 The testimony stricken out had to do with the chIoroform bottle and the statements made by James Flew, who has already been hanged for the murv der of William o. Wakefield, the hus- band of the accused woman, and with whose death she is also charged, also certain parts of the evidence of State Policeman Downey as to what P1ew had told him in the absence of Mrs. Wakefield, about the killing Of her husband.
 This testimony, Judge Reed ex- plained, had been admitted to show P1ewss interest in and conn ection with the murder and not as against Mrs. Wakefield
 Judge James H. Webb again sat with Judge Reed as spectator Mrs Wakefield appeared to be in better spirits than on any previous day. Her 1.-two children sat with their grand parents when the accused woman en- tered the room. The HtsIe girl catch ing her mothers eye, jumped from her grandmother's lap to run to her mother as the latter beckoned to the child. The little girl was restrained. however, and Mrs. WlakedeId had to be contented with smiling at her daughter
