Would Be Big Advertise
ment for the City.

At the meeting of the Board Of
Governors of the Lakeland Board of
Trade last night, the proposition to
secure one of the big league ball
teams next winter was discussed,
and it was the sentiment of the
Board that the matter could be fl
nanced, and that one of the league
or association clubs could be brought
here for several weeks and series
arranged for the clubs wintering in
other Florida cities. There will
likely be clubs at Tampa, st. Pc
tersburg, Orlando and perhaps other
cities, and our people may have the
opportunity of seeing professional
ball played on the home grounds.
Two propositions from prominent
teams have already been received.
A committee, composed of NJ. F.
Hetherington, VIM. Stetz, Claire
Henley, G. Green, and Jos. LeVay,
was appointed to negotiate with the
baseball managers, and arrange for
securing one of the big clubs to
make its home in Lakeland for
time next winter.

Tof peaceful outcome of the inter

EXACT CAUSE OF
AUSTRO-SERVIAN WAR

Austria had demanded of
Servia that the pan-Slavic
movement in Bosnia be sup
pressed at once and that i'm
mediate punishment be met
ed out to those involved in
the Belgrade plot against
Archduke Franz Ferdinand,
recently asassinated at Sara
jevo.
Servia was slow to act and
Austria delivered an ultima
tum, giving the Servian gov
ernment until 6 o'clock last
Saturday evening in which
to reply and accept the terms
laid down by Emperor Franz
Josephs government.
The gist of the ultimatum
was that Servia should dis
claim all responsibility for
the plot; that Servia should
promise to do her best to cap
ture and punish the conspira-
tors and suppress the pam
Slavic activities of her sub
jects in Austria.
Servia's reply was unsatis-
factory, the Austrian foreign
office announcing that Servia
so hedged it's acceptance Of
the terms as to nullify the eff
feet of the demand.
Following was the answer
made by Servia, to which the
dual monarchy took excep-
tions and began preparations
for war:
"Servia desires sincere and
correct neighborly relations
with the dual monarchy.
Convinced of the neces-
sity of maintaining such re-
lations,' the Servian govern
ment will readily comply
with all the demands of
Austria-Hungary which will
serve to suppress all criminal
acts, manifestations and dis
orders in neighboring coun-
tries.
Because the Servia gov
ernment considers it is there
by fulfilling the obvious duty
of a civilized state the gov
ernment will in all sincerity
do everything possible to
prove its intense desire for
friendly relations with the
dual monarchy"
