fine men FOR
WEARING SCANT
BATHING SUITS
Attire Crusade Reaches Long Beach
And Will Be Rigidly
Enforced.

New York, July 25.-The crusade
for modesty of attire at the seashore
has spread to Long Beach, L. I. In
a police round up there, nine men
were loaded into patrol wagons,
driven along the beach and taken to
the town lookup. They were ar
raigned before Magistrate A. H. Par
sons and fined SO each. All paid.
Village President John G. Ger
hardt announced that the ordinance
requiring mems bathing trunks to
come within six inches of the knees,
suits to be of two pieces, armholes to
be cut out not more than three
inches, and shirts to be worn outside
of belts, would be rigidly enforced.
Another section of the law, re-
curing women to wear boomers I'M

AN EUROPEAN
CONFLICT NEAR?
AUSTRO- SERVIAN TROUBLE BE-
COMING VERY ACUTE.
Government officials at Vienna Be-
ieve Servian Crown Prince
Will Reject Ultimatum.

Vienna, July 25.-Baron Won
Geisl de Geislingen, the Austro-Hun-
garian minister at Belgrade, has
been instructed to leave Servia with
the entire legation staff if by
O'Clock Saturday evening the Servian
government has not notified him
that it agrees without delay the de-
mands of Austria's note.
Although the peremptory charac.
ter of the ultimatum and the brief
time allowed to Servia to reply
came as a surprise to the Austrian
public, the governments action
meets with universal approval.
The relations between Servia and
Austria were felt to have become in
tolerable. The attitude of Seryia
toward Austria since Servia's sue.
cess in the last Balkan war has been
unbearable in it's arrogance.
1t was believed in Seryia that the
time was ripe for the disintegration
of the Austro-Hungarian empire
and that Austria would suffer any.
thing rather than run the risk of a
European war. Hence Servian
statesmen aspired to bring Bosnia
and other Austrian Slav provinces
under Servian rule.
Germans and Austrians have fol-
several years attributed the bad
trade in the monarchy and the
crushing taxation caused by repeat
ed notifications to Servian hostile
intrigues, and there is a feeling OF
relief therefore that matters now
have been brought to a head and
that Servia will be settled with once
for all.
1t is believed here that the Ser
Wan crown prince, who is now act
ing regent during the kings illness,
is under the influence of the war
party, and will reject the ultimatum.

SCHRANk'S MIND
FAILING FAST
Man Who Shot Roosevelt Growing
Worse Daily.

Milwaukee, Wis, July 25.-John
Schrank, who attempted to assassin
ate Colonel Roosevelt in Milwaukee
in October, 1912, probably never
will be tried on the charge of as
sault with intent to kill, according
to Judge A. C. Backus of the NUM-
cipal court, who yesterday received
word from physicians in the GRIM
inally insane department of the
state prison at Waupun that
Schrank is daily growing worse from
mental standpoint.
The assault charge still stands
against the prisoner and he cannot
be tried until he has been pronounce
ed sane. Should the case never come
up the point will be raised as to
his sanity when the assault was
committed.

I. R. SERVED
With PAPERS
IN LIBEL SUIT
Colonel is Officially Informed of Ac-
ton of William Barnes,
Junior.
THE CASE MAY BE DELAYED
Defendant Has Privilege of Watt
ing Until After
Election.

Oyster Bay, July 24.-The obi
cation to appear in court and de-
fend himself against a $4,000 libel
suit begun by William Barnes, Jr.,
chairman of the republican state
committee, was imposed on Colonel
Roosevelt last night with the serv-
ing on him of the papers in the
case.
A copy of the complaint was
handed to the former president by
James S. Y. WINS, of the law firm
which is acting for Mr.. Barnes. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Ivins, it rests with
Colonel Roosevelt whether the suit
shall be tried before election or de-
layed, perhaps two years.
Mr.. Wins, after meeting Mr..
Barnes in the Republican club in
New York and receiving the papers,
motored to Oyster Bay in a down
pour of rain. When he reached Sag
amore Hill he was met at the door
by Colonel Roosevelt's son, Archie.
The colonel was at dinner. He had
learned that the lawyer was on the
way from New York and fastened
out to meet him. Without awaiting
Mr.. WINS explanation on his visit,
he held out his hand and greeted
him cordially.
"I'm very sorry" Mr.. WINS began,
"to disturb you in a matter of this
kind" but Colonel Roosevelt would
listen to no expressions of regret.
"That's all right" he said. He in
vited Mr.. WINS into his library.
Then he brought out a box of CT
CARS, explaining that as he never
smoked he could not guarantee
them. Mr.. WINS declined.
He held out the papers he had
brought with him. Colonel Roose-
welt took them without a word. The
men talked for a few minutes and
Mr.. WINS left.
Mr.. WINS said Mr.. Barnes, when
he was looking over the papers in
New York, remarked:
"Mr. Roosevelt last year did the
very unusual thing of suing for IL
bel Michigan editor who called
him a drunkard. I am simply fol-
lowing the precedent he set.''
The only comment made by the
colonel was when he was informed
of the suit in the afternoon. He
had just returned from a walk
through the woods.

WOMAN FORCED
THROUGH window
BY AUTOMOBILE

Perry, Ia, July 25.-Mrs. Mary
Emberling, her sister-in-law, Mrs.
Minor Emberling, and the latter's
niece, a 10-year-old girl, were injur-
ed in an automobile accident in this
city. The front of the Johnson bak-
cry was badly damaged and two
large plate glass windows smashed
at the same time.
The accident was one of the most
peculiar that ever happened in
Perry. Arthur Foote, a Milwaukee
engineer, had attempted to drive his
machine up in front of the bakery.
In trying to stop he ran up onto the
curb and before he could shut off
the power the machine had crashed
into the building, in front of which
the ladies were standing. Mrs. Mary
Emberling was the most seriously
hurt and she is now at the Kings
Daughters hospital suffering from
dozens of bruises and cuts. Her
body was forced through the plate
glass and the flying splinters in
flicted many cuts. Mrs. Minor EN-
bering sustained fractured wrist
and the little girl was cut and bruis-
ed in several places. The front of
the building was demolished.

FLAY SFRV|AN
GOVERNMENT
TRO-HUNGARIAN NOTE IN
sINUATEs DISLOYALTY.
Charge Failure to Suppress Subver-
sive Movements and Agitations
by Newspapers.

Belgrade, Servia, July 24.-The
Servian government received last
night a note from the Austro-Hun-
garian government bearing on the
relations between the two countries
and dealing directly with the assas-
sination at Sarayevo on June 20 of
Archduke Francis Ferdinand, heir
to the Austrian throne.
The note reviews relations with
Servia since 1909 and complains
that although the Servian govern
ment promised loyalty to the Austro-
Hungarian government it has failed
to suppress subversive movements
and agitations by the newspapers;
that this tolerance has melted the
Servian people to hatred Of the Aus
tro- Hungarian monarchy and con-
tempt for it's institution.
This, says the note, eliminated in
the Sarayevo assassinations, which
are proved by dispositions and con-
LESSONS of the perpetrators to have
Matched at Belgrade, the arms and
explosives having been supplied by
of Servian officers and
functionaries.
1.-THE Austro-Hungarian govern
ment continued the note, sis unable
longer to pursue an attitude of for
bearance and sees the duty imposed
upon it to put an end to the in
trigues which form perpetual
to the monarchy's tranquil
ity. 1t therefore demands from the
Servian government formal assur-
ance that it condemns the danger
Gus propaganda whose aim is to de-
tach from the monarchy a portion
of its territory and also that the
Servian government shall no longer
permit these mechanitons and per-
verse propadanga."

HEED THE WARNING.
Many Webster City People Have
Done So.

When the kidneys are weak they
give unmistakable warnings that
should not be ignored. By examin-
ing the urine and treating the kid
neys upon the first sign of disorder,
many days of suffering may be saw
ed. Weak kidneys usually expel a
dark, ill-smelling urine, full OF
"brickdust" sediment and painful in
passage. Sluggish kidneys often
cause a dull pain in the small OF
the back, headaches, dizzy spells,
tired, languid feelings and frequent
rheumatic twinges.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for the
kidneys only. There is no better
recommended remedy.
Webster City people endorse
Doan's Kidney Pills.
Mrs. G. E. Dye, 1889 Second St.,
Webster City, says: "One of my
family suffered from pain across his
loins. Hearing Doan's Kidney Pills
highly recommended, he got a box.
In short time the pains left. He
has had no trouble since. I highly
recommend Doan's Kidney Pills to
anyone who has kidney complaint"
Price soc, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy
get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same
that Mrs. Dye recommends. Foster

CANAL WILL
Open AUG. Is
WATERWAY THEN TO BE READY
FOR COMMERCE.
Formalities Will Not Be Held, How
ever, Until Fleet Passes
Through Next Year.

Washington, D. c., July "a
Opening of the Panama canal to the
worlds commerce on Aug. IS next,
was announced last night by Secre-
tary Garrison. Probably the first
vessel to pass through the great
waterway will be the Cristobal,
war department steamer, now at
Colone.
There will be no formalities in
the epoch marking event, all cere-
monies being left for the official
opening when the international fleet
passes through the canal in March,
1915. Mr.. Garrison's announcement
vas made in this brief statement:
THE Panama canal will be open
for commerce to vessels not needing
more than 80 feet of water on and
after August Is, 1914.
''The official opening of the canal,
as heretofore announced, will be in
the month of March, 1915. An ap-
propriate announcement will be
made when a greater depth Of water
than thirty feet has been secured.
"On Aug. Is Colonel Goethals will
inaugurate the commercial service
by sending government boat
through the canal. There will be
no ceremonies incident to the occa-
sion, but American newspapers who
may desire to have representatives
present may do SO. The others who
will be present on the boat will be
determined between now and the
time mentioned.
"Lindley M. Garrison"
When the Cristobal steams from
it's slip to the Atlantic entrance of
the canal it will mark the conclu-
sion by American enterprise of the
greatest engineering task ever I'M
dertaken and the elimination of ten
years of the hardest kind Of work
against physical obstacles which
have severely taxed the abilities Of
the army engineers under Colonel
Goethals.

GENERAL VILLA
PREPARING FOR
new REVOLT?
Rebels Agents Are Buying Num-
tons in the United
States.
ARE PREPARING FOR DEFENSE.
General Is Entrenching Himself
In Chihuahua Strong
ARE PREPARING FOR DEFENSE.

Ell Paso, Tex, July 25.-Contrary
to official Washington advices that
the administration was meeting with
success in pacifying different fac
lions among the constitutionalists
and that peace was near in Mexico,
it was reported here on good au-
thority yesterday that General Viii
las agents were buying large guam
titles OF arms at Chicago and St.
Louis. Representative of the ma
tional constitutionalist government
declared that none of the purchases
had been made by General Carranza.
Coincident with this came further
news that Villa was entrenching
himself in his Chihuahua strong
hold. Arrivals from Santa Rosalia,
Torreon, chihuahua City and other
points said that those towns were
placarded with appeals for enlist
ment in the army of the north. Two
pesos a day was offered as pay, max
ing scarcity of labor in mines and
on ranches.
Opinions of officials and observers
here still differed as to whether Viii
la would move south to Mexico City
or remain in the north. The for
mer belief was strengthened by the
report that one of Villas brigades,
that commanded by Gen. Raoul Ma
dero departed yesterday from Chi
huahua for the south, it's destination
not being given. Villa returned
yesterday to Chihuahua, officials
said.

ORDER A STOP
PUT TO SCALING
OF LIVE FISH
Anti-Cruelty Societies Warn Dealers
Who Have Followed Practice
Its Form OF Torture.

Philadelphia, July 25.-Dealers
in those sections of the city where
fish are sold alive have been notified
that the practice of scaling live fish
must be abandoned under penalty of
arrest and prosecution on charges of
cruelty.
This action was taken by agents
of both societies for the prevention
of cruelty to animals on the ground
that to scale fish alive is kind Of
torture Before warning the deal
ers the agents consulted William E.
Meehan, former state commissioner
of fisheries, who told them that re-
moving scales from a live fish is
analogous to flaying a human be-
ing, with the exception that the fish,
being cold blooded, are not as SEN
sitive as warm blooded animals.
Mr.. Meehan, when asked to define
the particular torture suffered by
fish when scaled alive, said:
Running along the sides of most
fish is what is called lateral line
Underneath that lateral line is set
of sensitive nerves, and the scaling
of live fish gives a certain amount
of pain. Scaling the fish alive is
analogous to scraping the skin off a
human being. The pain, perhaps, is
not as acute as it would be in hui
man being, but the nerves are there,
and the fish no doubt suffers torture.
