LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE captain OF
the Italian liner Aneona, the vessel
torpedoed and sunk by an Austrian
submarine, declared today that the
submarine didn't signal her to halt
but instead fired first, according to a
Tunis dispatch After the Ancona's
engines had stopped the pursuer con-
tinued to shell the ship while coming
up, he said The last shells and tor
pedoes that finally sank her were fired
at distance of 800 yards, killing
many passengers already in lifeboats.
Real Point Not Settled
ROME, Nov. 11-Whether the help-
less passengers on the Ancona were
slaughtered while the Austrian SUBJ
marine pursued the vessel or killed
in cold blood as they were overtaken
is a point still undetermind this after
noon. Reports on this point-vital in
determining the position of neutral
America in the torpedoing incident
conficted. A Tunis dispatch quoted
the Ancona officers as saying that the
vessel was halted as soon as there was
command to do So On the other
hand a survivor told of shells killing
some while in pursuit and followed by
hail of shrapnel over the fleeing
.fo of
sci had halted. All messages agreed
that the Austrian shrapnel took
bloody toll The casualties are still
in doubt The best information agre-
ed that 800 were saved and that
not over 200 had perished,
Early Report From Rome
ROME, Nov 11.-Snapping out wirea
less calls for aid the Italian liner An
coma fed before the Austrian SUBJ
marine craft pursuing under rain OF
shells, the majority of dispatches
agreed today. Estimates of the dead
to the torpedoing are
still confused and range from 15O to
300. The most reliable reports up
to this morning placed the number or
lost around 176.
Americans Aboard Vessel Il
Societa Italia stated today that only
IL Americans were aboard the vessel
including Mrs Cecil Greil as the only
native born. The others were natur-
allied Italian Americans. Other es-

RUMAN|A ABOUT
READY To BEGIN
WAR ON AUSTRIA
Conditions Granted by Russia
and Serbia Also Insure At
tack on ConStantinopIe by
Bulgarian Forces,

Paris, June 81 (5:30 .. M - The
negotiations between Rumania and
the allies looking toward Rumania's
entrance into the war appears to be
near conclusion. Russia's opposition
to Rumanias possession of Czerno-
WITT. capital of Bukowina in case of
the success of the triple entente allies,
according to the news reaching Paris,
virtually has been abandoned and only
one difficulty remains; that is Serbia's
desire to possess the narrow triangle
in Hungary opposite Belgrade, includ-
ing Panchova as a protection for the
Serbian capital
On the other hand, Rumania is said
to claim that with Semlin in Serbian
hands. as has been proposed, Belgrade
needs no artificial ultra Danuban bull
wark and insists on the Danube, The
is, Maros and Pruth rivers as her new
frontiers in the existing Austro-Hun-
garian territory.
Realizing the present difficulties OF
Russia and the value of immediate as
sistance by Rumana II is said that
Rumania is satisfied to wait the result
of pressure Of the allies on Serbia be-
fore she makes a move. Rumania's
situation is considered here as particu-
larly strong in view of the admitted
with Bulgaria under
which Bulgaria would be bound to
enter the war with Rumania and oper-
ate against Constantinople.

RAILROAD LOSES

SUPREME COURT
Land Valued at $4,000, 1000.
Not Forfeited, but Company
Is Enjoined From DiSpoSing.
of It Until Congress May Act

Washington. June 21.-The SUI
preme court today enjoined the Ore
son and California Railroad company
from selling the undisposed portion
of its congressional land grant Sales
TO actual settlers in t60-acre tracts at
$3.50 per acre are permitted under
the decision after congress has had six
months in which to enact further
legislation on the subject The lands
involved are valued at more than
100000, 600
The court refused to forfeit the
lands to the government for COM
pany's failure TO comply with provi-
sions as to price and settlement and
also denied the application of actual
settlers who have gone on the lands
without permission of the railroad and
Of applicants for entry, to have the
property declared trust in their be-
half.
suit was instituted by the govern
ment in conformity with a resolution
by congress. 1t dealt only with lands
unsold. II appeared in the evidence
that some of the land had been sold
In 40,000-acre tracts for as much as
$3.50 an acre. Today's decision pre-
served any right the government may
hdNt " Hiink SUIT lbutnlnB ldi1u al
ready sold
The court found that congress in
making the grant had made no posi-
tive provisions as to settlement. Con-
sideraton also was given to the argu-
ment of the railroad that large por-
tions of the property could not be sold
to actual settlers, because the land
was not capable OF settlement 1t was
pointed out, further, that much of the
land was more valuable for timber
than for settlement and thus would be
a source of speculation.
For all these reasons the court stat
ed that it was proper that the com
pany should be enioined from dispos-
ing of any of the lands until congress
could deal with the new conditions
which had arisen since the grant was
made.
Justice McKenna announced the
decision. which rested on the holding
that the actual settler provisions on
the grant were to be construed as
covenants to be enforced by in
junction, and not conditions subse-
quent" a violation Of which would
call for a forfeiture of the grant.

ance of which the Filteentn amend
ment prohibited, proposed by in sub
stance and effect, lifting those con
ditions over a period OF time after

oasis of the right To suffrage con-
ferred in direct and positive disre-
gard Of the Fifteenth amendment
And the same result, we are of opin-
ion, Is demonstrated by considering
whether II is possible TO discover any
basis Of reason for the standard thus
fixed other than the purpose above
stated.
We say this because we are un-
able to discover how unless the pro-
hibition Of the Fifteenth amendment
were considered, the slightest reason
was afforded for basing the elassifl-
cation upon a period of time prior
to the Fifteenth amendment. Ger
tainly II cannot be said that there was
any peculiar necromanacy in the time
named which engendered attributes
affecting the qualification TO vote
which would not exist at another and
different period unless the Fifteenth
was in view"
\ Right of Suffrage Implied.
Vhe chief justice had prefaced this
statement by development of the
argument that the restriction impos-
ed byN the Fifteenth amendment on
the power of the states over suffrage
was coinddent with the limits of the
power itself. He also set forth the
principle that while in the true sense
the Fifteenth amendment gives no
right of suffrage "it was long ago
recognized that in operation its pro-
hibition might assure bly, have that
effect that is TO say that as the COM
mand Of the amendment was self
executing and reached without legis-
lative action the conditions of dis
eliminating against which II was
aimed, the result might arise that as
q consequence of the striking down
of the discriminating clause right
of SUFFRAGE would be enjoyed by rea-
son Of the generic character of the
provision which would remain after
the discrimination, was striker out"
This was said by way of answer to
the argument of attorneys for the
election officials that the Fifteenth
was meaningless because
there was no such thing under the
American form OF government as al
right" to vote.

Washington, June Elm probably
one of the most important race de-

voters qualification law, restricting
the suffrage rights of those who could
