RUSSIAN BEARS GROWL
MINGLES With "HOCH"
Patriotic War Fire Thrills Hearts of
Russians and Austrans
in New York.
LOOK AT SERVLA AS A PAWN

New York, July S.-Restaurants and
cafes in the Russian. Hungarian. and
Servian sections of the city buzzed with
excitement all day when it was rumored
that a formal declaration OF war had
been made by Austria against Servia.
In lower Second avenue and adjacent
streets and in upper Yorkville, districts
pre-empted by the subjects Of Emperor
Franz Joseph. patriotism ran riot. In
every coffee house crowds OF excited
Hungarians gathered to discuss the sit
uation. Pledges OF tealty 10 the father
land and stirring patriotic songs were
frequently heard.
The militant spirit prevailed ana was
famed into q blaze of patriotism by eN-
cited speakers. whose telling Of the glory
of the dual monarchy was loudly
cheered.
Copies OF the latest war bulletins were
eagerly read.
The Russian element in lower Harlem
was in a ferment There was not one Of
the local children of the Car but felt
that the fong-expected clash with Austria
was imminent.
The growl Of the Russian bear was
heard in their bearded throats. Impre-
cations against what they called the
;reachery of Austria and the selhshness
Of that nation were freely voiced. Servia
to them is but a pawn in the game, and
while their sympathies are with the lit
tie Balkan state, they are more con-
cerned with expressing their hostility to
Austria and sounding the prowess Of
Russia

NOT READY TO JOIN "DRYS." "
Prohibition Candidate for Gov ernor
Loses Out by $4,000.

Austin. Tex, July 26.-Indications early
today are that James r FERGUSON has
a majority Of = ooo over Thomas H. Ball.
prohibition candidate for governor The
returns are slow coming in on account
OF the long ballot
James Z Ferguson is a banker and
farmer Of Temple Tex. whose platform
has been to enforce saloon laws but
stop liquor agitation.
The issue in yesterdays primaries was
whether State-wids prohibition shall be
voted on by Texas citizens in the sum
mer Of 1915.
The primary nominated eighteen can
didates for Congress. candidates for the
legislature and State and county officials
from governor down In all the i'm
portant offices nomination is equivalent
to election.
The submission OF Statewide prChibi-
ton by constitutional amendment next
summer depends entirely on yesterdays
vote on a resolution instructing the leg
islature for or against submission.
The prohibition candidate. Thomas II.
Ball, Houston attorney. had announced
FOR the striCtNst saloon regulation hut
against all forms OF prohibition except
by State constitutional amendment.

ACCUSES SERVIA OF
DECEITFUL CONDUCT
English Writer Says Austra's Demands
for Satisfaction Were Mere
Means to an End.
AIM CHANGE OF SENTIMENT

London. July 26.-Dr. E. J. Dillon
wiring from Vienna to the Daily Tele-
graph, gives a view OF the action taken
by the Emperor's responsible advisers
which differs widely from what is gen.
orally inferred from Austria's ultima
tum and her subsequent declaration Of
war.
1t is declared that Austria's demand
for satisfaction in the matter of the
archduke's assassination and the Pan
Slav movement are a mere means to
an end, which is radical and perma-
nent change of the attitude of the
Servian government and nation toward
Austria. II a sincere declaration ac-
companied by corresponding acts by
the Servian government could effect
such a change, the main demands en-
bodied in the ultimatum would at once
be withdrawn.
II is further declared that Servla's ac-
ceptance Of the note would merely post
pone the war. which would come late
when Austria would be less prepared.
Dillon accuses Servia Of deceitful con-
duct in issuing press reports describing
the situation as peaceful at the moment
when the order was issued for the mob
iIization of her army.

CONSERVATION UP In HOUSE

Beginning this morning at Il o'clock
debate will be begun in earnest in the
Senate on the administration antitrust
bills. Until these measures have been
passed the Senate will meet daily at II
o'clock and continue its discussions each
evening until o'clock. No other busi-
ness will be permitted to intervene.
Most of the Senate committees will
knock of work during the debate on the
trust bills. By keeping Senators on the
Job seven hours a day. the leaders see
be placed before President Wilson by the
last week in August. In fact, they are
planning to adjourn by August 3 or
September l, at the latest
While the Senate is busy with the trust
bills the House probably will debate a
series OF measures dealing with the sub
Ject of conservation. Some OF the House
leaders would prefer to recess for three
days at a time instead OF considering the
conservation bills. and this plan may be
adopted. 1t is being strongly urged by
members of all parties who are anxious
to get home to their districts.
There is no intention or the part Of the
administration to press the conservation
bill TO enactment at this session. This
being so, members argue that there is
no good reason why the House should
remain continuously in session through
out the month Of August. decision as
to the course the House will follow while
the Senate is grinding away on the trust
bills will be reached this week.
