Bonds Drob While Inquiry Is
 Good F0y Sh0H Iime Notes

A significant development, because of it's bearing upon the foreign situ- ation, was the placing of $5,O00,- 900 two year six per cent, treasury notes by the Swedish government. The proceeds, it is said, will be dis bursed in this country for the pur- chase of various commodities" and the loan assumed added importance from the fact that 1t is supposed to be the first negotiated here since the outbreak of the war by any neu- tral European nation. Increased con- fidence in the betterment of domestic industrial conditions was reflected in the extension of demand for pig iron and copper metal at thirteen cents which suggested some increased buy | ing by home consumers.
 l The banking house of Kuhn, Loci
 & company, and the National City
 Bank announced the joint purchase of s5,000,000 two year, six per cent Swedish treasury notes, which vii i be publicly offered at par, and ac-

 ed as a forerunner of others of neu-

NEW YORK, Dec. 2-Business in bonds on the stock exchange evinced further reactionary tendency with a wider variety of offerings. Declines in some of the less conspicuous is sues ran from three to seven points.
 In several bonds the subject of reorganization and readjustment of losses were even more severe. This condition was partly offset by decid- edly better inquiry for short term notes, and more active listed stocks which normally constitute the great bulk of daily operations Demands for these securities, particularly of notes, came from various quarters the middlewest being prominent buyer. The movement is attributed primarily to easier money conditions
 The financial district derived con siderable encouragement from the an- nouncement that hereafter the stock exchange intended to issue a daily list of actual stock sales as made through the clearing houses, togeth- CT with a comprehensive table of tn, bid, and asked prices. This is re- garded as another step toward g full resumption of business.

Grave Controversies Be tween Southern Republics and Belligerent Countries Leads to Calling of Pan American Conference
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcH1

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2-Grave con- troversies between the nations of South America and the belligerent countries of Europe led to the calling of a con- ference for next Tuesday of the govern ing board of the Pan-American Union the diplomatic representatives here of twenty American republics, with the secretary of state of the United States as chairman, ex-officio, will come the various suggestions made by Argentine, Chile, Peru, Uruguay and Ecuador for stronger assertions of the rights of the neutrals and the exclusion of bellige- rent Warships from the waters of the Americas.
 Evidence of the seriousness of the situation in South America, due to the presence of belligerent warships on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, is contained in a dispatch received to- night by Eduardo Suarez- Mujica, Chil- can ambassador, from the minister of foreign affairs at Santiago. Fear is ex- pressed by the Chilean officials that Germany's alleged violation of the neu- trality of Chile may influence other belligerents to disregard the territorial jurisdiction of Chile and perhaps cause them to send warships within the three mile limit to stop German oper-

Governor-elect of Colorado, Before Federal Industrial Relations Commis sion, Suggests State Body to Handle Situation
HE CORROBORATES
 GOVERNOR AMMONS
Present Executive Says He is Powerless to Control Activities of Heads of De- partment Which Are Not His Appointees
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

DENVER, Dec. 2-An industrial commission serving without compen- sation as d panacea for the indus trial ills of Colorado coal fields. to which his administration will be heir, was suggested by Governor elect George A. Carlson, before the federal industrial relations commission at it's first sesion today. One function of the commission he proposed would be the drafting of an equitable work mems compensation act with the as sistance of miners and operators.
 He corroborated the testimony of Governor Ammons that the machin- cry of the state government IS de- fective in that heads of departments are appointed by members of the governors executive staff, and that the governor is powerless to control the activities of such heads. Many such committees have been openly al variance with Governor Ammon's pol icy, it is declared.
 Governor Ammons. the first wit ness at the session, testified that the state had made final arrangements to sell the balance of the million dol lars worth of instruction bonds to defray the past expenses of the militia and its future upkeep, and that it had so notified the president and expected the withdrawal of fed eral troops soon.
 Tn handling an industrial dispute, Ammons said, there is no organiZa- ton or body ready to enter the field The governor must wait for the legis lature to convene. Then a commit
 tee is appointed. It takes the com mittee members time to become ac- quainted with themselves and theii task. Then there is questioning among the people as to whether this member or that member is not con trolled by this or that interest. By the time they get to work the dis pute has proceeded to violence and | is getting further away from any settlement"
 MT Carlson was still on the stand when the session adjourned until to- morrow.
 J. o. Osgood, chairman of the board of directors of the Victor Am erican Fuel company, told the com mission of his unsuccessful efforts tC introduce an employers compensation commission. He declared that tht majority of mine accidents were du' to veteran miners taking chances. Discussing collective bargaining foi labor MT Osgood outlined his atti tude:

LONDON, Dec. 3.-Belgrade which until the outbreak of the war was the capital of Servia, was occupied today by Austrian troops, the Ser vians having previously evacuated, Thus on the sixty sixth anniversary of the reign of Emperor Francis Jos ; eph, who is again reported seriously ill, four months after the outbreak of the war, his generals report one of the most important successes they have obtained
 Belgrade was frequently under bomoardment early in the war, and but for the general European con flict which compelled Austria to send her troops against Russia, must have fallen an easy prey to Servia's big neighbor. Apparently Austria mis calculated the nature of the Servial opposition, and only after Bosnia was invaded did she send sufficient force against the Servians to drive therl back Now they are being forced backward and are eagerly looking fo. the advance of the Russians int Hungary to afford them relief.
 Russia has been sending Cossacb raiding parties through the Carpath- ians with the object of diverting Aus trias attention, but the dual mon archy is seemingly determined to fin ish with Servia first. This, however is only a small affair compared witt what is going on in north Poland There the German army, which witl the aid of endorsements succeeded in escaping from the ring the Rus | sians had forced around it, hd formed a new front. and at som points has assumed the offensive Tn Germans assert in this series of man euvers by which they were able t check the Russians they made 5000 prisoners The Russians, on the oth CT hand, in a statement issued fror Rome, say their captures greatly OK ceed this number All agree tn losses are very heavy and that tn battle is still undecided, as it proba

Om AmmiveySa,y Of Succession To Throne
 Fyamcis Joseph He~ ~s Of Victory M Servia

It was just siXty-siX years ago yesterday that Emperor Francis Jos eph succeeded to the throne of Aus tro- Hungary. The year just passed war spread more threatening than ever before. It was on June 2S, 1914, that Archduke Ferdinand was slain at Sarajevo, in the province of Bosnia. by Servian hands. Ferdi- nand was to have been the success sor of Francis Joseph, and his as- sassination was one of the incidental causes of the war that has spread to include half of all the human beings in the world today.
 Francis Joseph in his declining years is hard pressed as never be- fore. The mixed races that make up his dominions, for it is said that twenty-six different languages and dialects are spoken in Austria Hun gary, have rendered difficult the CO., operation of the monarchy in the prosecution of the war. The Aus trians have failed to hold the Rus sians from sweeping down from the east and north. They have accom- plished little with Servia, their early antagonist, and from the meager re- ports that find their way out of the stricken kingdom, we read of inter- nal discord and rumors of internal revolution.
 Francis Joseph is the most un- envied of monarchs. His people fear him. His task of bettering conditions was a mountainous one when he took the throne in 1S4S. and al- though he met with partial success he has never entirely won over the confidence of the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina, his latest acqui- stions. But the people of Austria feared to lose him, for the compica- tions of succession, already great when Ferdinand was killed, are many and diversified.

 The impression prevailed among early arrivals, it was reported, that the conference would not attempt 10 formulate a policy for the presiden- tial election in 1916.
 Neither Colonel Roosevelt nor Gov ernor Hiram Juhnson of California, vice presidential candidate in 1912. was present.
 California, however, was repre- scented by four delegates, and re- ported to be prepared to launch a boom for Johnson for president in 1916.

 The accumulation of torpedoes is a slow task. A year is required to complete one, and many are lost every year practicing.

most prominent people in the county
of Louisa have taken up the case OF
Mrs. Elizabeth A. Hall and they
are writing letters to Governor Stu

The writer's Of the letters are rep.
resentative people Many take tn,
ground that Mrs. Hall is absolutely
innocent Of the crime. while others
lay stress On the fact that the evi-
dencc was far from being sufficient
to warrant the conviction.
Allusion is made to the undisputeG
fact that the parents Of Victor Hall
are among her most staunch defend
ers, they having done everything in
their power to save her from the
prison and to acquit her Of the muir
der. They do not for moment be-
lieve that she committed the crime.
Then there are great many who
declare that if the evidence warrant
ed conviction, the penalty should
have been death in the chair or i'm
prisonment for life, instead Of i'm
prisonment for ten years
