 PAINFUL SURPRISE DECLARES AUSTRIA
Austro-H Hungarian Minister Delivers Note Reviewing Circumstances Which
 Led Up to Break

Vienna, May 22.-(via London, G,45 p. m.)-Baron stephen Burian von Rajccx. Austro- Hungarian minister for foreign affairs, today handed to the Italian ambassador a note expressing painful surprisev at Italy's decision to ''put mn end In such m abrupt man. ner to the treaty which was based upon the community of our most important political interests, which has guaran- teed security and pence to our states for so many years and which has rem dcrcd Italy notorious scrvices.-
 The note says Austria astonishment is more than justified as Italy repeatedly announced it's wish to maintain and strengthen the bonds of alliance between the two countries.
 Baron Burian Won Rajecz repeated that the object of the ultimatum to Servia was purely to protect the monarchy against the revolutionary machinations of Serva and that this aim could in no way affect ltaly's interests.
 When the conflict assumed a European character Italy proclaimed her neutrality without throwing out the slightest sug- gestion that this war which was pro- voked by Russia and prepared for long beforehand, could be of nature to de- prive the triple alliance of it's raison d'etre and made no communication which could justify the belief that it. re- garded the proceeding of Austria Hun

ROCKEFELLER DENIES
 CHARGES BROUGHT
 BY MINE STRIKERS
Ends Examination Before the Industrial Commission With Brief Replies to
 Allegations Presented

Washington May 22.-Concluding his ex- animation by the industrial relations com mission today, John D. Rockefeller, Jr, entered denials to three charges which. if sustained, would. according to commis- sioner Weinstock. lay at the door of the Colorado mine operators the responsibi- the Colorado coal strike. The charges were framed and presented by Commis- sioner Weinstock as being In brief the allegations brought against the operators by the strikers.
 When Chairman Walsh finished ques- tioning MT. Rockefeller. Commissioner Weinstock presented letter to the latter which set forth preliminary statement in which the commissioner reviewed the commissions inquiry into Colorado con ditions.
 What l have been able in brief to get out of it al,'' 1t read. lis that the strikers and their sympathizers make three spe- cihc charges:
 That no time after the strike could they get hearing at the hands of the operators
 That the civil and judicial machinery for obtaining such justice as the law af- lords was in the hands of the operators and not available to the strikers
 That the operators through their agents were the first to resort to violence and that all the violence which followed was defensive on the part of the strik- CTS and not offensive.
 Charges Important
 '1f these three charges have been es- tablished. then it must be plain that the responsibility for the unfortunate hap penings in Colorado must clearly be laid at the door of the operators and the strik CTS are entitled to all support and sym pathy of the American people," Answering the first charge. Mir. Rock feler said:
 "The representatives of the unions. so far as know. have not met in confer ence with the operators, but the striking miners. as I understand it, were present at meeting called by Governor Ammons on November 26. where they met three of the operators with the governor and dis cussed the situation" M l MT Rockefeller quoted a telegram from l President Welborn of the Colorado Fue. and Iron company relating to this meet l ing. and said this was the only confer ence he knew of at which representatives | of the miners were present.
 .'The Colorado Fuel and Iron company he continued "has always been and al- 1 ways is ready to meet with its men or with the representatives whom it's men may elect-men working in their mines. "As to whether the civil and judicial ma : chinery were In the hands of the opera tors and not available to the strikers, am not fin position to state. have un- derstood testimony has been offered on both sides. think the fact. without rs' gard to party lines Is that the election which took place in Colorado in the fall turning out as it did, would indicate tha. the ballot is still powerful in that state to represent the will of the people," Discussing the charge as to the begin (Csntinued en pase Elsvssl

ROOSEVELT CLEARED. .OF HAVING L|bELLED. WILLIAM BARNES
Jury Reaches Verdict in Favor of the Defendant After Long Hours
 of Deliberation

Syracuse. N. Y.. May 2:.--T~vcIve mon chosen as Jury to determine whether Theodore Roosevelt IibeIled William Barnes when he charged thnt he worked through corrupt alliance between crooked business and crooked politics." and that he was "corruptly many HalI." today returned a verdict in favor of the former President. In the belief of the jury everything Col onel Roosevelt said about the former chairman of the republican state com mittce was true and therefore MT. Barnes wns not IibeIed.
 The verdict was returned after 70 bal lots had been taken and the jury had considered for F hours the evidence which was presented during Ave weeks of the trial Nineteen hours were consumed be- fore II of the jurymen who since the second ballot had stood together, per- suaded Juror No. Il, Edward Burns, a Syracuse motorman and a republican. to join with them in returning a verdict which Colonel Roosevelt later declared to be "typically American"
 For II of those 19 hours the jurors in favor of an unconditional verdict for the defendant talked to the one who while himself favoring similar verdict. insist ed that the court costs and disbursements should be divided between the two prin- cipals.
 Verdict Is Reached
 The verdict was reached in the dormi- tory of the jail attached to the Onandaga fx hAt a nd ,nt tl room Juror Burns agreed to vote with his companions soon after the 12 arose this morning. following their second nighs in custody.
 Mir Barnes was not in court and neither was his chief counsel William M. Twins. when the verdict was returned The colo nel was there. however. with his sta fl of counsel sometime before Justice An drews ascended the bench and opened court. -
 Immediately thereafter Henry Wolff. one of MT. Barnes attorneys, entered an objection to the verdict being received as the jury had once been poIled in open court That objection as we'll as sim Tar one entered after the verdict baf; been reported was overruled.
 When the jury had been called in from it's room and it's members had seated themselves. the foreman Warren w Sommers. announced almost in whisper that the verdict was for the defendant. In response to a request from MT. Wolff the jury was then boiled
 Bryan Is Neutral
 Washington, May 22.-Secretary Bryan showed much amusement over the verdict in the Roosevelt- Barnes case today when told the verdict had been in favor of MT, Roosevelt.
 We'll said MT. Bryan,s' saves MT. Roosevelt from the payment of damages: but this is one of those cases in which victory either way gives some adyan tage. If MT. Barnes had won 1t woul1 have purged him of the charge of being q boss and this would have relieved the ex-President of the odflli1 or. having a a. sociated with him for so many years"

 The ambassadors remain at their

 Roumania, 1t is reported tonight, has received assurances from Bulgaria that If Roumania decides to join the allies and help Russia by an invasion of Transylvania. Bulgaria will not attack her. and that, In fact, Bulgaria herself is considering the possibility of taking similar action. although her attack would be directed against Turkey. Greece Interested

 This report does not mention opera tions against smyrna, but from Turkish and other sources 1t Is learned the al- lies are almost as active there as they are on the Gallipoli pensinsua. There Is little or no changes on either the eastern or western fronts in Europe.

Stubborn fighting, however. continues and 1t may 1 be several days before either side can claim a definite result.
