AUSTRANS DIDN'T

CONDITIONS OF EMPIRE TILL
WAR STARTED.

Washington. d. c., Oct. 15.-"Jusi
what Austria-Hungary' economic out
look was before the war, the people Of
Austria-Hungary did not know them
selves" begins a bulletin just given
out by the National Geographic So
ciety, which gives a brief outline Of
business conditions in the Dual Man
archy before August, 1914. Before
the outbreak of hostilities, the Empire
was undoubtedly doing comfortably
well, though It possessed few places
and fewer industries which knew
ought of such business enterprises
and success as exemplified in the
United States, Germany and England
Moreover, the governments were
heavily in debt, and the people had
deeply committed themselves to in
vestments in futures.
Politically and industrially, though
outnumbered by the other races in the
Empire, the German Austrians domi-
mated the situation. They stood solid
p " together, while the other peoples
were divided into many factions. The
1erman-Austrians were in control at
Vienna, and Vienna, more truly than
Berlin. was the center of an Empire.

who murdered Michael weinstein
and chopped up his body. police to-
day we're convinced her deed resulted
solely from a desire to blot ont the
man who stood between her land a
past she sought to forget. That she
truly loved her husband was their
belief-just as she told them.
But Weinstein. according to ad-
vices from Atlantic City. knew her
history. His appearance here, his
possession Of letters she had written.
and the tell-tale photo he carried In
his watch all brought back other
days She feared her husband would
learn-so she killed him, as she
confessed.
And the police learned that be-
hind the tragedy is still another
the tragedy of wife starving in a
fiat at Atlantic City. This woman.
Weinstein's wife. will be given the
$225 which the girl said Weinstein
offered her to elope.
That weinstein perhaps was a
white SLAYER" who lured immigrant
girls to a life of shame was one
theory the police held.
The story of Mary Pamies' life
back east showed affairs with men
at Bridgeport, Conn. and Atlantic
City, and career under an assumed
name in the latter place.
The girl-wife seemed more COM
posed today; her confession that she
slew Weinstein deliberately seemed
to have removed a burden from her
mind, She sat in her cell surrounded
by magazines and q novel, and ap-
peared resigned to any fate.

approaching anarchy in certain sec

Brownsville, Texas. Oct. 23.--Boil-
ing with rage over the continued ban
ditry along the Rio Grande, citizens
OF towns hereaIbouts gathered today
at Mayor Browns call to discuss
means OF relieving the situation.
Brown himself announced there
would be no discussion of reprisals.
But In the temper OF the citizens
there was some doubt that he. or any
one else. would be able to restrain
such efforts.
It was true that dispatch OF addi-
tional forces had somewhat OF q
Quieting effect. and the people hoped
Congressman Gamers visit to Wash
ington would result in additional. aid,
yet the fresh killings OF the past
week made It likely that. unless
strong measures are taken, Texans
will take affairs into their own hands
at an early moment. "

Their bodies were not found. Lead

spring. The seed had been planted
In young orchard between the

absolutely no attention. They were
irrigated after the water had been
turned In the bitches in August, but
In the face of the lack Of cultural at

One Of them measured 21X inches

a patch grown by W. o. Hill on the
