Declares Islands
Have | ammany Rule

WASHINGTON. D. c.. July 90
Representative Clarence B. Miller
of Minnesota introduced a resolu-
ton in the house of representatives
yesterday, calling for probe into
the wholesale removal of Spanish
War veterans from the civil service.
In presenting his resolution, Rep
resentative Miller declared that
General Francis Burton Harrison,
governor of the Philippine Islands.
is introducing Tammany rule in
the islands. which he said was a
national disgrace.
Mr.. Miller presented statistics to
prove that the veterans of the
Spanish war are being Disseminated
against by General Harrison, and it
was charged by the speaker that
the discrimination was due to the
refusal Of the veterans to comply
with the political dictates Of the
island governor.

Crisis That Has Been Pending in the Old
World for Many Years is Now Reached
in the Balkan States.

VIENNA. Austria. (6:30 p M
July 26.-War has been formally de
clared by Austria against Servia,
as a result of the latters failure to
comply with the demands made upon
it by this nation.
Word has just been received here
that Belgrade, the capital of Servia
has been evacuated. Austrian troops
are nearing the city and are expect
ed to take possession of it before
midnight tonight.
1t is the expectation of officials
of the Austrian government that
Russia will take decisive action at
once to protect Servia, and this is
certain to start the most extensive
international complications that Eur
Ope has ever witnessed.

DARING YOUTH
ROBS A TRAIN
\ DAYLIGHT
PASSENGERS HOLD BANDIT AT
BAY UNTIL OFFICERS
TAKE HIM.

NEW YORK, July 26.-What is
declared by the police to be one Of
the most daring hold-ups ever al
tempted in this city was that ac-
a railroad train near this city to-
day.
The young man wore red ban
danna handkerchief over his face.
and in broad daylight he boarded
the New Haven express train at a
small station suburban to this city
AS the train entered this city, the
bandit entered one of the cars at
the end of the train and demanded
that everyone should throw up their
hands. He then proceeded to rob
the passengers, keeping his gun
ready for any emergency.
AS the train began to slow down
for the station, the robber started
cars. shooting on each side of him
as he ran. Two men and two wom
en- were shot in this manner, but
no deaths have thus far resulted.
When he reached the fifth coach,
the bandit pulled the cord at the
top Of the coach, in such violent
way that the train was brought to
an abrupt standstill, and the robber
dropped off from the platform to
the street.
By this time a mob of infuriated
passengers was in hot persuit, and
as he ran down the street they
chased after him. At last they
cornered him, and he turned and
defied anyone to come near him.
Although no one made any attempt to
capture the young man, the crowd
stood quietly watching him until a
squad of police arrived on the scene
and took him prisoner without any
serious difficulty

Chief of Police
Refuses to Quit

CORDOVA, July 26.-One of the
worst political rows ever witnessed
in this city is going on as a result
of an effort that has been made
to remove the chief of police and to
appoint his successor. 1t looks now
as though the matter may have to
be settled by the courts.
Recently there was a disagree
ment between the chief of police and
the members of the police commit
tee of the council. The latter rec
commended his removal at the meet
ing of the council last Monday night,
but a vote on the matter resulted
in a tie, one member being alb
sent.
On Thursday, the mayor removed
the chief of police and appointed
his successor The chief refused
to heed the order for removal, and
insists on serving. The newly ap-
pointed chief also maintains that
he is entitled to the office, and he
is refusing to allow his opponent
to have any more authority than
possible.
The affair has divided the popu-
lation, and before the matter is
finally settled open hostilities may
result.

Chinese Denied Cane
So Chew Tobacco
ORDER OF GOVERNMENT CAUS-
ES ORIENTALS TO CHANGE
THEIR CUSTOM.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 22.-
In the Chinese colony Of this
city, tobacco for chewing pur-
poses is taking the place OF
sugar cane, commonly used in
the past, for the government has
issued an order prohibiting the
importing of sugar cane into the
country.
Experts of the department OF
agriculture have found that much
of the cane imported into the
United States is infected with
insects, which it is feared will
cause disease to the American
plants. The Chinese of this city
have been in a habit of receiv-
ing their cane directly from the
Orient for chewing purposes,
and they do not take kindly to
the American product.
AS soon as the government
stopped the sale Of their own
sugar cane the local Chinese In
vaded tobacco stores, and with
few exceptions they have substi-
tuted chewing tobacco for cane.

INJURIES TWO
WOMEN MINERS
HOUSE AND QUARTZ MILL MAR
ROWLY ESCAPE BEING
DESTROYED.

VALDEZ, July 26-Falling of Il
huge boulder from cliff threatened
the destruction of the house and
small quartz mill owned by Mrs.
Rose Johnson, six miles from this
city, yesterday, and fragments of
the stone seriously injured Tessie,
Mrs. Johnson's daughter. Another
fragment struck Mrs. Johnson, but
her injury is not serious.
Miss Tessie Johnson is suffering
from a broken leg and is internally
injured The extent of her injuries
have not been fully determined by
the physician who is treating her.
Mrs. Johnson is one of the few
successful women miners in Alas
ka Sle located the mine, at
children have been developing it,
almost unaided by anyone except
the men that were hired to con-
struct the mill and to do some
of the other heavy work.
The mine is now being opened
and Mrs. Johnson and her children
have been sorting the ore which
they are milling 1t was while they
were at work yesterday that the
boulder fell from the cliff, almost
directly back of the little mill, and
had it not broken into a hundred
smaller pieces it would probably
have crushed through the sides
of the mill on its way down the
mountain.
When the accident occurred the
12-year-old son of Mrs. Johnson
rode to this city for medical aid.
Responding to his summons DR..
Dalton and some other men hur-
ried to the scene of the accident.
Colonel Richardson, who is head of
the Alaska Road commission, sent
the government automobile truck
to bring the girl to town.
IL was IOuHu ny LII. Ddlton upon
inspection that the leg was broken
and then with the aid of the other
men carried the girl to the foot of
the glacier, where she was placed
in the automobile truck Dr. Dal-
ton expressed the opinion today
that Miss Johnson will recover
from her injuries.

Telegraphic dispatches receiv-
ed by The Citizen indicate that
the declaration of war by Aus
tria yesterday against Servia
may throw all Of Europe into
the most destructive war Of
modern times.
For many years the Balkan
states have been bone Of con-
tention between the big powers
Of Europe, and according to the
information received here yes
terday, Russia will, for selfish
reasons, take the part Of the
little country, Servia, while Ger
many is standing ready to sup
port Austria Hungary France
is getting ready to take the sides
Of Russia and Servia, while
England, although not wanting to
get into the mix-up, is favorable
to Austria.
Germany is mobilizing war ves-
sells on the coast of Norway, and
this indicates that the German
empire is afraid that Russia will
invade Scandinavia. Thus If
the large nations Of Europe all
get involved in the conflict, they
will be divided into two groups
as follows:
Nations supporting Austria:
Germany, England, Norway, Swe-
den and probably Denmark.
Nations supporting Servia;
Russia, France, Montenegro and
probably Spain, should the latter
take part.
In the condensed dispatches
received here yesterday, the ex-
act cause Of the demands made
by Austria is not mentioned, but
it is reasonable to believe that
it is somehow the out-growth
Of the murder on June % Of the

PARIS, France, July 26-It is
understood here from official sources
that the French government will
take no action in regard to the trou-
bic between Austria and Servia un-
til Russia makes move to enter
into the hostilities. That France will
take a hand in the affair. If Russia
is involved. seems almost certain at
the present time. and the public sen

with excited crowds, which read the
news bulletins and the special edi-
tions of newspapers as fast as they
appeared There We're demonstra-
tions at various times during the
day, and the cry of Down with
Germany" was heard frequently
The police dispersed the crowds as
fast as they were formed, and thus
the excitement was checked to some
extent.
Officials of the French government
assert that Mostenegro is bound
to assist Servia, in case that war
between that country and Austria
is declared. This will probably
bring Russia, France and Montenegro
to the defense of Servia if general
mix-up results.

Wife Killed For
Showing Bare Feet

she demonstrated corn remedy
in her bare feet at an open window
before crowd, Henry Johnson
killed his wife yesterday while the
crowd looked on. A mob of people
rushed at Johnson, but he made his
escape, but was later captured by
the police.
When Johnson was captured, the
infuriated mob attacked the Off
GERS that had charge of him. That
he would have been lynched un-
hesitatingly was certain, had the
police not been able to protect the
prisoner from the mob.
Johnson had insisted that his
wife should not demonstrate the
corn remedy before the crowds at
the window, but she refused to obey
him. He shot her while she was
in the act of placing the remedy
on her foot.
