ALL TESTIMONY
IS HEARD IN The
CAILLAUx CASE
Counsel Speeches Today
Playwright Bernstein
Brings an Uproar

Paris, July 27.-All the testimony in
the trial of Nine. Henriette Caillaux
for the wilful murder of Castor Cal
mette, has been heard and the speech
es of counsel for the prosecution and
defence are to be heard tomorrow.
While Henri Bernstein, the play
wright. was giving his deposition to-
day, the applause and hooting caused
such an uproar that Judge Albanel
suspended the sittings The playwright
abandoned all semblance of courtesy
in addressing the former premier as
"Caillaux' without any prefix. He
said:
I'VE have just/witnessed the French
treasury committing a felony by APP
propriating a will and turning 1t over
to Caillaux. Then We have seen min
listers of state come here and declare,
in order to cover up their former col
leagues, that diplomatic documents &C
cepted with thanks by the President
Of the Republic are forgeries. Either
President Poincare is feeble-minded or
his ministers have lied"

could not interfere with Austrias free
dom of action.
Tne official announcement of Russia
that no mobilization of her army had
been ordered was supplemented by
trustworthy information from Warsaw
that among the precautionary military
measures taken were the withdrawal
of troops in Poland from the imme-
date frontiers of Germany and Aus
tria for concentrat ton in the intericr
the recall of the Russian troops from
their summer camps and the cancel
ling of leave of absence of all officers.
The border is watched by a semi-mil-
itary force attached to the treasury
department known as Frontier
Guards"
Inter Den Linden was damned to-
night with crowds which hoped that
the Emperor would come to Berlin,
but they were disappointed.
= The significant announcement was
issued from Potsdam tonight that
the German Crown Prince has aban-
doned his intention of returning to
Berlin and that the Emperor plans to
proceed to Wilhelmshohe in few
days on his customary summer visit
This evidently is designed to calm the
popular apprehension.

AUSTRIAN VIEW OF
THE SERVIAN REPLY

Vienna, July 27.-A communication is
sued by the Austro-Hungarian foreign
office today sets forth the Austrian view
of the Servian reply to Austria's note
demanding the cessation of the Pan-Ser-
Wan agitation and the punishment of
those concerned in the assassination at
Sarayevo of Arch Duke Francis Ferii-
nand and his consort. The communica-
ton also gives the reasons for Austria
dissatisfaction with Servia's reply The
communication follows:
The object of the Servian note is to
create the false impression that the Ser
Wan government is prepared in great
measure to comply with our demands
''As matter of fact, however, Servia's
note is filled with the spirit of dishonesty
which clearly lets it be seen that the
Servian government is not seriously de-
termined to put an end TO the culpable
tolerance it hitherto has extended to in
trigues against the Austro- Hungarian
monarchy
The Servian note contains such far
reaching reservations and limitations not
only regarding the general principles of
our action but also in regard to the in
dividual claims we have put forward,
that the concessions actually made by
Servia become insignificant
In particular our demand for the par
tieipation of the Austria Hungarian au-
thorities in Investigations TO detect ac-
completes in the conspiracy on Servian
territory has been rejected while our re
quest that measures be taken against
that section of the Servian press hostile
to AustroHungary has been declined,
and our wish that the Servian govern
ment take the necessary measures to

PREMIER ASQUITH
PLANS BLASTED BY
RIOTS AT DUBLIN
Forced to Postpone Amending Bill by
Attitude of the Irish Members
Angered by Shooting

London, July 27-The first effect Of
the Dublin tragedy has been to smash
Premier Asquith's plans for taking up
the amending bill tomorrow. The pre-
mier announced today that the mat
ter had been definitely postponed. The
Irish members are so exasperated over
the killing of four persons and the
wounding of many others in the clash
yesterday between the regular troops
and the Nationalist Volunteers that
they are in no frame of mind to grant
any concessions to Ulster. The Labor
ties and many Liberals support them.

Papers Dated This Year
The papers were of this years date,
the count said, and were two in num-
Der, one letter addressed to Calmette
by personages in Budapest and the
other from him to them. Both were
written in French. The letters dealt
with arrangements for favorable state
ments by the Figaro on Hungarian af-
fairs
Count Karoly handed the two docu-
ments to NJ. Caillaux on his passage

try. This was after the indictment of
Nine. Caillaux. The publication TODAY

proof that Calmette, OF whom IL mad

Hungary adheres to an alliance hostile
to the international group of which
France is member. The Figaro has
been lending this support to the Hunga

half"
Count Karolyi, who is one of the lead

he succeeded in securing proofs of the

Sir Edwards Plan

Sir Edward Grey explained in the
House of Commons his idea. which was
that the four powers, Great Britain
France, Germany and Italy, should
cooperate in an endeavor to arrange
the dispute between Austria and Ser
via on the basis of Servia's reply to
the Austrian ultimatum. This reply he
regarded as the foundation on which
friendly and impartial powers should
be able to arrange an acceptable set
tlement. Should the British foreign
secretary's efforts fail to avert war, it
is expected that he will endeavor by
some means to prevent complications
by combining the hostilities to Austria
and Servia.

A special inquiry will be held. In

the Eastern doubles championship

of the former national champions Hack

Mclaughlin was a strong favorite to-
night in his match tomorrow with Muir
ray, but the struggle for the Eastern
doubles title between the two New York
pairs was regarded as about even.
The Best Match
Although Mclaughlin carried off his
match in the semi-inal with r. Norris
Williams, I'd, in straight sets, the tennis
was the finest seen since the two Davis
cup players met in the finals at Newport
last year. Williams seemed to possess
more finished game, but his numerous err
rors at critical stages lost him many
chances. After his singles match Nc
Loughlin took his Davis cup partner
Bundy and played two sets against Nav
rogerdatq and Kingscote, the British Da-
Wis cup players. Each won set Bundy
showed poor form. All four of the Brit
lsh team We're on the Longwood courts
twice today. The doubles match between
Hackett and Alexander and Fortrel and
Murray was a lively affair. but the
greater individual brilliancy of the
young Californians proved of little avail
against the superior team work of the
old titleholders. Murray played his usual
dashing game. but Fottrel was unable to
back him up.
Other Contests
In the other doubles event Dabney was
the star. as Niles was badly off his
game In this match also the teamwork
proved the stronger combination, for
Pell and Behr were in close harmony.
Earlier in the afternoon Murray played
three hard sets with Wallace F. Johnson
of Philadelphia and, being fresh, his

Nationalist Bitterness

The Nationalist members of Parlia-
ment held a meeting this afternoon
ard showed more animus against the
castle than the government; they con-
slider Niceroy Aberdeen's official fam
lily prejudiced against the National
lists.
A heated discussion was started in
the House of Commons by john Red
mond the Nationalist leader, who de-
manded an impartial inquiry into the
conduct of the troops, and their pun
ishment If the shooting was not jus
titled. He demanded also that the reg
iment should be removed from Ire
land: that the proclamation against
the Importation of arms into ireland
should be withdrawn because it con-
stituted a serious danger and that
the law be administered impartially.
Ross May Go
He called for the suspension of Sir
John Ross. the police commissioner Of
Dublin, and said: I'VE had an expe-
rience of him in the Larkin riots. He
is unfit to hold his office. He is we'll
known political partisan" Mr.. Red
mond compared this monstrous bust
ness" with the parades of armed vol
unteers in Belfast. ITO such a state
of impotence has the British govern
ment been reduced in Ireland" he
said. that a subordinate official is able
to call in soldiers without consulting
the executive of the country.
He expressed the hope that the Irish
people would not blame the troops too
much, and concluded amid great
cheers: -Four -fffths of the Irish peo-
pie will not submit any longer to be
bullied and punished for conduct which
is allowed to go scot free in Ulster
by another section of their fellow
countrymen."
Augustine Birrell, chief secretary of
Ireland, blamed Deputy Commissioner
Harreil sharply for his astonishing
lack of discretion" Harrell had as
sumed the whole responsibility, but

The market at Liverpool was quiet. and

affected by continued liberal receipts
from the United States and increasing

money Is badly needed there. and the
price Is attractive.
Corn was stronger with offerings light.
Sales by the country were moderate. The
