 Eight love letters have been pro- duced. Three by order of the court were read by Iabori. Five remain ln the judges hands. The great crowd hung upon every word of the letters read by the man who is thought best qualified to give effect to the meaning of words.
 In spite of the tremendous inter- est in the magnificent elocutionary powers of the advocate, there was an Suproar as the reading progressed shouts of derison came to challenge the shrieks of triumph that came from enemies of the defense.

AUSTRIA-HU
 DECLARES FOR WAR
Rejects Seryia's Reply to Ultimatum and Breaks Of Diplomatic Rela- tiOns With That COuntry-War
 Enthusiasm Everywhere.

Vienna, July 25.-Diplomatic rela- tions between Austria-Hungary and Servia were broken tonight, and both nations regard war as inevitable. That Russia and Germany also will be drawn into the conflict through their treaties with the combataAts is con- sidered certainty.
 Waiting until the last moment the Servian government late this after noon returned it's answer to Austria Hungary's ultimatum demanding an apology and disclaimer for tServian politicians aid in the recent assassi- nation of the Austrian heir and his wife. The answer was declared by the Austrian minister at Belgrade to be unsatisfactory to his government, and he, at the head of the Austrian legation immediately left Belgrade, ending all diplomatic relations.
 King Peter of Servia had already fled from his capital. He had known since early in the day that Servia's reply would be a challenge to Aus tria to war and he had hastened south to the town of Kraguyevatz, where the government has been established pending an assault by the Austrian troops.
 Bankers and the heads of other im- portant institutions have likewise fled from Belgrade, which, it is realized, will be captured by the Aus= trians at the very outset of the war. The garrison left the city later in the day to form the nucleus of a mobili- zation of the entire Servian army, which is to gather about the king at Kraguyevatz.
 It is known that the Austrian Hungarian minister of foreign af- fairs, Count Bertholdt, ordered a movement of troops after an. audi ence with Emperor Frapzs Asef this afternoon at which tha defiant note Of Servia was discussed. It is as. stunned that the troops of Austria
 Hungary will immediately march ! across the frontier for an attack upor lBelgarde.

North Texas Favors Tom Ball; South Texas for
 Ferguson.
UNUSUALLY HEAVY
 VOTE IS POLLED
Texans Also Vote Upon Candidates for Congressional, District and County Officers Result May Not
 Re Known Till Monday.

Fort Worth, Texas. July 23.-1n- complete returns up to midnight from eleven Texas counties indicated that James E. Ferguson of Temple, anti prohibition candidate, had been nomi mated for governor in today's pri- maries. The vote on submission is divided.
 Early returns which came mostly from Northern Texas were favorable to Thomas H. Ball of Houston, Prohi- bition candidate but later returns from the Southern part of the state over came his lead.
 Scattering reports indicate the nom ination of w. P. Hobby of Beaumont for lieutenant governor. Hobby, ed itorin-chief of the Beaumont Enter prise, is nanti- but has made his fight on a platform for clear-cut laws and a constructive work to develop resources, declaring the liquor ques- ton should not be permitted to ov- ershadow everything to the detri- ment of the state.
 Ball Against National Prohibition.
 The Prohibitionist candidate for governor, Thomas H. Ball, a Houston attorney, had announced for the strictest saloon regulation, but against all forms of prohibition ex- cept, by state constitutional amend ment. He has specifically opposed na- tional, circulatory and statutory pro- hibition.
 The anti-prohibition candidate is James M. Ferguson, a banker and farmer of Temple, whose platform has been to enforce saloon laws, but stop liquor agitation.
 The fight has been hard. Both sides claim the nomination by at least 50,- 900.
 All of the eighteen congressman were candidates for renomination ex- cept Jack Beall of WaXahachie in the Fifth district. All except five have opposition. These five are Martin Dies of Warren, Second disrtict; Rufus Hardy, Corsicana, Sixth district; A w. Gregg, Palestine, Eleventh district; George F. Burgess, Gonzales, Nintl district, and J. P. Buchanan, Bren | ham, Tenth district.
 T1dtIOu Ol JdIldo, IION congressman at large, is a candidate l to succeed MT. Beall. One of tht sharpest congressional contests has been between Congressman James L Slayden of San Antonio, and M. D Slater of Llano, in the Fourteenth dis disrict.
 Big Vote Polled.
 No matter whether prohibitionis or an anti-prohibitionist governor il selected today the submission of state wide prohibition by constitutions amendment next summer will depen' entirely on today's vote on that issue which is contained in a resolution in structing the legislature for o against submission.
 Candidates for district and count offices were also voted upon at to days primary, the result being that al unusually large vote was boiled. Be cause of the length of the ballots an the vote the final result may not b definitely known until Monday.

berland of Middle Western Illinois
day to nip a threatened Mexican
uprising The posses moved under
orders Of Sheriff Byers, of Princeton,
who had received word that 200
armed Mexicans living in dugouts in
the vicinity of the scene of yester-
days sensational train holdup at
Manlius, H., on the Chicago and
Northwestern Railroad, in which En-
gineer Arthur Fisher was shot to
death, were much excited over the
affair and had threa tened vengeance.
Twelve men-all Mexicans-are in
Jail here to-day Fernando Lopez,
one of the four desperadoes who tried
to loot the freight car yesterday, died
from bullet wounds inflicted during a
battle with Sheriff's posse. The
three others, who were captured after
series of revolver fights, were
brought here to prevent lynching.
Nine other Mexicans were arrested
during the night because the authori-
ties feared trouble. and Sheriff Byers
said to-day he would arrest every
Mexican in this part of the State il
he received verification of reports
that an uprising was contemplated,
The two bullet wounds inflicted on
Sheriff Byers in the fights with the
bandits were not troubling him to-
day.
A report from Chillicothe, ILL.,. said
that a Mexican had beer arrested
there and would be brought to
Princeton. The man had consider
able money and two revolvers in his
pockets.
Bitterness between MeXicans and
Americans has been growing since

American laborers No one was
killed in the fight and only one Mexi-
can was wounded.

DECREASE
Wholesome Effect of Expose Be-
gun by The Georgian Noted
in Prison Board Reports.

Comparative figures on. file in the
office of the Georgia Prison Commits
sion show q sharp and significant de-
crease in the total number of whip
pings in State convic camps for
February, as contrasted with the to-
tai for January. before The Georgian
began its expose of conditions fol-
lowed by the Grand Jurys radical
recommendations
This is a decrease of 80 per cent
In January, Fulton guards whipped
100 convicts, while in February the
total dropped to 90
This is a decrease of 80 per cent.
Although no public statement has
been given out TO that effect. the evil
dent opinion in the Prison Commits
sion is that recent agitation against
whippings and convict conditions
generally in Georgia has produced a
decidedly good result.
While very guarded in their state
ments. officials plainly take pride in
the DECREASE shown, not only in Full
ton. where the protest against cordi-
tons has waged most vigorously, but
throughout the entire State.
Third Lower in State.
Figures other than those concern
ing Fulton show for the months OF
January and February decrease of
approximately 80 ia per cent in the
number OF whippings reported from
Georgia's 1876 convict camps, and q
corresponding increase in the number
OF counties reporting no whippings at
all for the same months
In January the total number Of
wh;ppings reported from all camps
was 531. while for the same month
the number Of camps reporting no
whippings at all was So.
In February the total number OF
whippings was S21, and the total
number OF counties reporting no
whippings was so.
Bibb County shows a total OF one
whipping for January and one for
February-sn even break" and leav-
ing little to go there in order TO ac-
complish a clean score.
Even in Sumter County, where
whipping seemingly has prevailed
rather strenuously, drop OF from 80
in January to II in February is
shown.
Commission Watching Closely.
There yet remains much work OF
reform to b. done in the various pris-
on camps. for in many OF them whip
ping still is carried to an excess, de-
spite recent revelations of horrors.
Some camps show few whippings
but relatively no decrease, and in
some others the disposition TO whip
upon slight provocation still is very
evident
II is believed that the Prison Com
mission is keeping very close tab on
guards who use the lash nowadays,
and a number OF guards are said 20
be slated for discharge soon.
The primary reason assigned for
whipping is. by long odds, '1aziness
and persistent refusal to work." while
next to that comes "disobedience, -
and then lighting"
Beyond these reasons classification
is hardly possible. so numerous and
varied are the causes bringing about
the use OF the lash
