CANNOT REMAIN
QUIET IN CRISIS
Meanwhile Great Britain
Heads Move For Medi-
iation Conference

Washington, d. c., July 27.-The gray
ity of the European situation was re-
hected in an official despatch from st
Petersburg to-day saying that the Rus
sian minister of war said he considered
war between Russia and Austria almost
inevitable. The statement was made
after the Russian minister had issued an
official declaration that Russia was
greatly disturbed and could not remain
Indifferent in the crisis that had arisen
between Servia and Austria Hungary.
The order for the mobilization of the
Russian army is confirmed
London, July 27.--The fact that no se-
rious hostilities between Austria Hun
gary and Servia had been begun gave
Europe general hope to-day that war
might be averted. There is a little
change in the situation, however, and
the optimistic feeling is based on the be-
lief that the German emperor, who re-
turned to Potsdam to-day from cruise
in the northern waters, would throw his
influence in the balance in favor of a
peaceful settlement of the dispute.
1t was said this morning that Austria
would not move her forces against the
Servian capital until tomorrow.
Glimmers of hope continued to flicker
while all the nations were preparing for
possible eventualities. Their statesmen,
with Sir Edward Grey at the head, We're
endeavoring to bring together the gov
ernments at issue, with view to media

Following Collision Be-
tween Automobiles at
North Barre
MRS. w. V. HOOD HURT
QUITE SEVERELY
Other Automobile Acct
dents of the Weekend
In Vermont.

When two automobiles swung together
in the highway just north of Jones Bros.
granite plant in Barre late yesterday
afternoon. the smaller card, Ford, was
forced into the ditch and while the ma
chine did not turn turtle, it tipped to an
angle sharp enough to pitch the occu-
pants out of their seats. OF the two
people in the auto, Mrs. w. v. Hood and
her son. S.B Hood OF East Topsham. Mrs,
Hood received the more serious injuries.
She is confined to the City hospital and
although she retains consciousness, she
complains of severe pains in the neck
and the doctors fear concussion OF the
brain was caused by the accident
The other principle in the accident Is
said to be T.. G. Emmons of Morrisville.
There was the usual heavy traffic on the
and a number of witnesses
agree that the side-swiping was almost
unavoidable. Both ears were proceeding
toward Barre and it was when the larger
car attempted to pass the Ford machine
that the latter was thrust to one side,
Only few inches, it is said, separated

the heavier machine brushed against it
the result was inevitable Barely mo-
ment elapsed before there was plenty of
help. Mrs. Hood was extrieated from
her irving position in the ditch and tax

Jackson's automobile. II was thought
at first that she had sustained more than
one bone fracture, but closer examina-
tion did not bear out the opinion first
formed. Mrs. Hood was considerably
dazed by the accident, but this morning
her mind was rational and she was able
to talk with the hospital attaches. She
will recover, it is believed.
The woman's son did not escape un-
scathed. Flying fragments Of glass cut

painful sprain in his left arm. Evidences

SEVERAL SHOTS FIRED.
In Attempt to Capture Supposed Fugi-
tive in Rutland.

Rutland, July 27.-The nightly gun
play said to be indispensable to the
amusement of frontier town came on
Main street Saturday night, when Frank
Gardner Hill, who escaped from the
police Friday night again wrggled out
from under the arms OF the law, as per-
soniied by Special Policeman james Pit
aniello. Hill says Officer Pitaniello
was the man who appeared and de-
manded admittance at the door Of the
Charles johnson house, corner Main and
West streets, where he had been staying.
II was under that impression, at least,
that the officer fired the shots which
awakened the neighborhood, but missed
the flying fugitive.
Pitaneillo and Special Officer John
Childs have, ever since the Friday night
incident, been at the johnson home,
awaiting the return of their man. Sat
urday night. about II o'clock, while Pit
aneillo was in the hall downstairs and
Childs was upstairs, someone came to
the door on the Main street side of the
house, and tried to get in. The Italian
special was just inside the door and in.
tended to allow his man to enter and
then overpower him in the unlighted
hall. Owing to a moving shadow the
stranger became suspicious, and did not
show any immediate intention of falling
into the trap. As the policeman opened
the door a hairs breadth his man took
alarm, and fed across the street.
Pitaneillo's finger was pinched in be-
tween the door and the wall, and he
was slow to follow, but gave chase, fir
ing his revolver several times. The
fugitive sped across Main street and ran
behind the house near the old Rutland
Business college building.
The sound OF the revolver and the
bullets caused good deal of
excitement and some alarm on the quiet
and several family piazza
parties left their seats with alacrity, A
good sized mob had soon crowded about
the place where Hill was last seen.

relative in West Pawlet, started foi
home on his bicycle and remembered
seeing the automobile behind him con-
tanning the men described.
The car came up behind him, striking
his wheel and throwing him a consider
able distance. When the lad recovered
consciousness he walked two miles to
the home of a Mr.. Granger where word
was sent to Reeds father and TO DR.. f.
+. Liddle of Dorset.
The physician found the boy suffering
from the shock in addition TO the crushed
shoulder and fractured collar bone.
The young man was unable to say
whether the car bore Vermont num-
ber. No clew has been found as to
where the motorists were bound except
that they were going north.
This is the third automobile accident
in this section within three weeks, the
other two resulting fatally.
The injured boy was unable to I
how long he probably lay in the II
after being struck but thinks Il 4 4
dent happened about noon. He has ,ade
many trips on his bicycle and is well
acquainted with handling wheel.
The road upon which the accident hap
pened is used by many touring auto
mobiles and the speed offenders this
season have been increasing from week
to week.

Two Cars collided.

A disastrous accident that might easily
have resulted in serious injury to limbs
or loss of life occurred on the Plainfield
road Saturday night when Ford touring
cars operated by Rufus Whitcomb Of
Marshfield and Aldro Batchelder of Plain
field CAME together. Both autos were
loaded with people. but the shock of con.
tact did not serve to throw the occu-
pants from the cars. Mr.. Batchelder's
conveyance was not badly damaged, but
the Whitcomb car had a broken front
axle and a iammed running board. Help
was summoned and the car was hauled
to garage. The collision happened on
narrow spot in the highway.
