Ask Extension of lime

Vienna, July 25.-An extension of
time of 4S hours. in which Servia may
reply to Austria's note, was requested
today by the Russian charge d'af-
faires.
There was a marked improvement
on the Bourse here on a report that
Servia had yielded.
A dispatch from Belgrade to the
Neue Freie Presse says Seryia has
decided to accept the Austrian de-
mands under protest.
The general pubfrc here looks for
ward to Servia's decision in connec-
ton with the Austrian note with the
greatest composure, although the peo-
pie know it to be question Of peace
or war. No surprise was caused here
by the communication published in the
official journal of the Russian govern
ment stating that the st. Petersburg
government was seriously preoccupied
by the ultlmatum addressed to Servia
by Austria-Hungary, and that Russia
could not remain Indifferent to the
dispute. 1t was inferred from this
Communication that the local situation
/ of possible war would be prevented
lby Russia.
| Shortly before O'Clock the Austro
Hungarian minister at Belgrade pre-
sented a note to the Servian foreign
office saying the Servia reply was un
satisfactory The Austro-HungariaT
minister and the staff of the legation
then left Belgrade.
The Hungarian government
refused all the requests of Servia t.
extend the time limit for the reply t,
its note.
A message from Belgrade says OF
ders for the mobilization of the Sci
, Wan army were iven at o'clock thi
Il afternoon. The king of Servia wit
} his court and the garrison are leavin

DEFENSE WILL Be INSANITY
RuMoRs OF poINGs OF BOY AND
GIRL SAIDfTo HAVE SHAKEN
His REASON
HAD CERTIFICATE in POCKET
GROOM, INTENT ON FORGIVENESS
SHOT DOWN BEFORE HE
COULD SPEAK

Haversraw, N. Y, July 25.-A
friendship that began when William
V. Cleary, town clerk of this village,
and Frederick M. Newman, one of the
owners of the Roekland County Mes
senger, were boys, is recalled in a
statement by the latter, as a reason
for not wanting to see Cleary, the
murderer of his son, Eugene M. New
man, pay the extreme penalty for his
crime.
Young Newman was shot to death
in the twon clerks office in the
town hall on Tuesday when he asked
Cleary's forgiveness for having eloped
with his daughter, Anna Cleary. They
were married week ago today at
Weehawken, N. j., and the boy car
ried his marriage certificate to show
to the father of his bride.
81 don't want Bill killed." said Mr..
Newman, the father I'VE went to
school together and we were political
and social friends. My paper always
backed him up, and we have joked to-
gether about this affair of our chill
dren. But Bill was wrong, My boy
was all right and Bill must not be set
at liberty through politics or airy
| other means. He must have a term
of Imprisonment"
Cleary meanwhile is confined in the
county jail at New York on charge
of murder in the first degree for the
killing of his son-in-law Although he
has been warned not to discuss his
case he has ventured to make one
statement in explanation of his act
He said that gossip about his
daughter and the son of his friend
caused him to worry until he did no
know what he was doing when hi
killed the boy.
Evidence of three witnesses to th'
murder at the preliminary inques
yesterday showed that Eugene New
man with his wedding certificate
ready to show to his father-in-lav
was shot down before he could dray
it from his pocket or utter word.
Cleary's defense, it appears fror
statements made here. will be emf
/ tional insanity.

Paris, July 25.-According to semi
official information received here, Aus
tria today showed an inclination to
aGopt more moderate attitude toward
Servia. AS an indication of the gravity
with which the Austro-Servian situa-
ton is regarded here French three per
cent rentes fell to 7S at the opening
of the Bourse at noon today. This was
further point and half below yes
terdays closing price.
Already part of the Russian press
has taken defiant attitude, demanding
that the government in st. PETERSBURG
undertake the protection of Seriva.
The Novos Vremya says:
"The Russian government clearly re
cognizes that the Austrian ultimatum
is particularly directed againt it, ant
Russia is replying not only by words
but by the requisite actions.
"Servia is being subjected to an un
lawful attack and will not remair
alone. The disturbers of the peact
have not to deal with Servia onl!
but also with Russia. Unless the Aus
trian ultimatum is withdrawn, Russi;
will not remain a silent spectator"
The French government, according
to the semi-official Temps, is in &C

JUDGMENT

Santa Fe. July 25.-Federal Judge
William H. Pope today handed down
lengthy findings of fact and law, both
on motions of the plaintiff and the de-
PENDANTS in the case of Hoggson Broth
ers VS.. First National bank of Roswell,
to recover S3,S77.1S architects com
mission for the drafting of plans and
specifications for new bank building
at Roswell. Judge Pope finds that
10th as to fact and law, plaintiff is not
entitled to recover anything.
The case is an unusual interesting
one. Hoggson Brothers of Troy, n. y,
had been given the commission to
draft plans and specifications for new
bank building by the defendants IN
der the first contract, the structure
was to cost within $4,000 A new
contract was then drawn in which the
former contract was merged providing
for a two story building with a thre'
Il
story rear to cost within $4,000. Afte1
progressing with these plans, the ar
chitects suggested that a third stor.
would add $500 to the $4,000 cos
and also suggested number of tothe
additions that would raise the cos
still further. They were notified tha
unless they could draw plans tha
would keep the cost within the $1,000
estimate, as the contract provided, OIL
er arrangements would have to b
made. The architects then withdre'
from the contract. according to th
finding of the court and having volul
: tarily surrendered it, are not entitle
to any commission or any compens

St Petersburg, July 25.-Orders for
the prompt mobilization of the Rus
sian army were looked for today as a
result of the calling Of the council
of ministers, presided over by the
emperor of Russia and held at the
palace of Peterhof early this morning.
From present indications Russia ap-
pears prepared to go to any extremes
rather than to locate the downfall OF
Servia.
Many of the newspapers of the Rus
sian capital today demand the imme-
date mobilization of the Russian army
on the Austrian frontier. The Dour2
Gazette declares that Russia cannot
for a moment tolerate an attack on
Servia or on Servian independence .
