the taxi will become more popular forced to use other means of trans portation because of excessive tariffs charged by taxi-cab concerns. P. J. is general manager of the concern. Holden said:
 This is to be a company with ample capital which will own and operate modern cars, and the man. agement will be along modern busi- Eess methods. I am now at work pre- pairing a charter and the necessary papers to perfect the organization of the association.
 "Mr. Holdsw orth and my other as- snciates have determined to make our company popular and practi- cal one, and we have already selected the car which we will use exclusively. It is the Ford car. After very care- full consideration of several months We have decided to make the rate twenty-five cents for the first half mile and five cents for each additional quarter of a mile. This Is practically a rate of twenty cents a mile after the first half mile of riding.
 My knowledge of the taxi-cab business and the conditions surround ing it long ago convinced me that the public of New York city could have a service as good. if not better. than the service in European cities at rate very little in excess of the rates charged on the other side. F. J. whom I consider the best taxi-cab manager in the United States, severed his connection with the Mason .& Seaman Transportation company and I immediately made proposition to MT. Holdsworth which he accepted"

 Call on Ambassador.
 Rome, July 27.--Marquis di San Gluliano, Italian foreign minister, and the British ambassador to Italy today called on the Austro- Hungarian ann bassador to Italy to discuss means of ccnciliation between Austria Hungary and Servia. They had informed the Austro- Hungarian diplomat last even ing of their intended visit and he had replied that while he would receive them with pleasure the Austro- Hun garian government reserved all it's rights to take any military measures it deemed necessary.
 The Italian government today in formed Sir Edward Grey that it ac- cepted his invitation to join in a mediation conference.

 Fire Upon Austrians.
 Reports from Hungary state that Servian troops on board a steamer on the Danube near Temes- Rubin have fired on some Austrian troops. The Austrians returned the fire and an engagement of some importance ensued It is considered probable this is another version of yesterdays encounter. -
 A rumor current in Semlin yester- day said that the first encounter be- tween Austrians and Servians had oc- cured near Semindria, twenty-four miles southeast of Belgrade, where some vessels conveying Austrian in- fantry were said to have been fired upon from the Servian side of the Danube and to have returned the fire.

EXCITEMENT PREVAILS IN STOCK MARKET
European Conditions Cause Severe
 Losses on foTc.gn Exchanges.

New York, July 27.-The local stock market opened amid scenes of great excitement today. Conditions in continental Europe growing out of the Servian crisis and accentuated by what appears to be a critical phase m the Irish troubles caused severe losses on foreign exchanges. The gravity of the situation may be judged from the fact that the Vienna exchange is to remain closed for several days while the Austro-Fungarian bank rate was advanced without warning.
 Prices here held far better than in London, where quotations for Ameri- cans were down from two to almos seven points. Canadian Pacific, which yielded over six points in Lon don, opened here with loss of 3 Is points. Declines of one to two half points were recorded in the initial trading by St. Paul, Northern Pacific Denver and Rio Grande preferred and many other active stocks. Steel and Reading were heavily dealt in at rel atively moderate recessions. The market continued feverish through the first hour with further weakness in Canadian Pacific, which extended its loss to four points.
 Offer Little Encouragement.
 Leading bankers were in active com munication with their European cor respondents and the tenor of advices received from them offered little en- couragement.
 Over 100000 shares changed hands in the first hour and of that amount fully one-ffth was credited to Eu- ropean selling. London, Paris. Der lin and other centers continued to sell long after the close of their mar kets. Another feature of the local short interest which covered a large part of it's mmitments late last Sat urday on rumors that Servia had agreed to submit to Austria's de- mands.
 Heavy Gold Engagement. tic by the further heavy gold engage ments for Paris and London. An ad- ditional $6,00O,O0O was ordered today. making total of over $12,OOO, 900 on this, the third movement of the year, and total of about $100,O0O,- 900 since the beginning of the year.
 The selling movement ceased tenn porarily in the second hour, but was resumed later on the gold engage ments, prices going lower than in the first hour. Support was luke warm at best, high grade stocks being taken at concessions.

YOUNG MAN DROWNED
 AT LAKE COMPOUNCE
Another Water Fatality Occurs in
 Farmington River - COmpounce

Pennington River = Compounce
 Victim Died of Heart Shock.
 This summers drowning casualties wereincreased by two in this immedi- ate vicinity yesterday, when Louis Lake Compounce, and Adolph Strau- b!cken, of Hartford, was drowned in the Pennington river. Both of the victims were young men, the Bristol man being but twenty-one years old and the Hartford man being but two years his senior. Straubicken had been in this country but three months. his home being in Germany, and Schlag left his home in Germany three years ago.
 The Compounce fatality was a tragic one. The young man had been bathing about and with some friends went bey ond his depth. A short time later he waded out beyond the end of the springboard and sank without a cry in seven feet of water. Those nearby saw that he was drowning and frantic attempts to pull him up were made. Lee Rockwell dove from a motor boat but failed to bring the body up and it was not until about ten minutes had passed that Alex Fitzgerald, of Bristol finally suc- ceeded. While getting 1t into the boat of the party became excited and tipped the boat over and it was again necessary to dive for the body. At tempts at resuscitation were in vain. Besides his uncle with whom he lived, the youth has no relatives here, but his parents are living in the old country. It is thought that when he went under the shock killed the young man.
 Straubickens fate was also a tragic one He was visiting his sister in Windsor and the party went bathing. He was a good swimmer and made a nice dive and did not come up. Investigation showed that his head had become wedged under sub- merged log and he was drowned like a rat in a trap.

It has established itself in Africa and throughout Australasia It is found in nearly every Canadian provinces; it has reached Japan, Mexico, Vene- zuela and Peru It has been adopted in half the American states, with nearly two-thirds of the population and nearly all the great industrial area. ...
 The general merit of a system which has won it's way thus cannot be called into question. It is not, therefore, incumbent upon me, or upon any other man, in these days to elaborate arguments for the gen eral system or policy.
 Suffice it to affirm that seven months of Connecticut experience has verified here our expectations and has matched the experience of other jur- isdictions. It has not given perfect satisfaction to everybody. Did the old law? Did ever any new law or policy? But it is generally ap- proved. While it has given nowhere as high awards as were secured sometimes, although very rarely in- deed, under the old law, it has pro-
 
 in pretty nearly all cases of serious injury and in many less serious cases. And all this has been done at an ex- pense to beneficiaries which has been but trif,ing. There are hundreds of families scattered throughout the state which have felt it's beneficence To repeal 1t would be like taking a step back to ward the dark ages.
 Would Draw Teeth From Act.
 "All this is so clear that there will be no serious attempt at repeal. But weeks ago I caught definite hint that certain employers had a purpose to draw the teeth of the law. In all good conscience it ought to be said that there are no very sharp teeth in the law at present. When passed it was, I feel sure, as good law as could have been enacted. It was, indeed, something like an average American act of it's time. slightly less liberal than some in a few particulars, certainly just bit more liberal than some in other particulars. But in it's general features and in nearly all of its particular provisions 1t conformed to the most widely proved American experience.
 Yet the law never pleased me alto- gether; I had nothing like freedom in drafting. And legislation and ex- perience since our law was passed now warrant changes which might have been of doubtful wisdom then. I shall stand, therefore, for certain amendments
 First and quite the clearest of all. the exemption of small employers must be made entirely certain. Sim pie good faith requires this uncon- ditionally. That was the understand ing in which the bill was drafted. ad- vocated and enacted. Good legal

HIS SKULL FRACTURED

Stamford, July 27.-Peter Petrino of Bridgeport was found beside the New Haven road tracks a short dis tance from the station last night suf- fering from a fractured skull, a crushed leg and other injuries of a less severe nature. He was removed to the hospital here, where it was found necessary to amputate the leg. His condition today is serious. It is supposed that he received the injuries in trying to board a moving train.

Two small blazes kept the fire de- partment fairly busy yesterday. An overloaded stove pipe in the house in the rear of No. so Lafayette street caused damages of $15o. This is R. II. Erwins house in which fire oc-' cured several weeks ago.
 The other fire took place at 4:40 o'clock yesterday morning and was at the Osgood Hill school where a pile of refuse became ignited from spontaneous combustion. There was no damage.
