GERMANS PROTEST MASSACRE
Made Public by American
Relief Official.

Boston, Mass.-The German gov
eminent on Aug. 8 filed at Constan-
tinople a protest against the Turkish
treatment of Armenians, according to
DR.. James L. Barton, chairman of the
National Commission for American
and Servian Relief, who has made
public the text of the protest.
The German protest is given in
uart as follows:
1.-THE German embassy regrets to
have to realize that, according to in
formation from impartial and reliable
sources, acts of violence. such al mas
sacres and plumbers, which could not
be justified by the aim that the i'm
perial government was pursuing, in
stead of being checked by the local
authorities, regularly followed the ex-
pulsion of Armenians, so that most
of them persisted before reaching their
destination.
Under such circumstances the
German embassy by order of its gov.
eminent, is obliged to demonstrate
once more against these acts of
horror"

SHORTAGE OF NITRIC ACID FOR
AMMUNITION.
Or. L. H. BaekeIand Tells Navy Board
We Would Have to Get Salt
petre From Chile.

New York.-Members of the navy
consulting board are in session at the
New York navy yard, where all the
warships of New York division of the
Atlantic fleet are in port.
DIR. Leo Hendrick Baekeland, chair
man of the committee on food and
sanitation, at the meeting discussed
the prime Importance of synthetic
acid in modern warfare and declared
that If Germany had not been able
to utilize the sources of nitrogen in
the air in the manufacture of NUM-
tons she would be hopelessly para
lyZed since Great Britain has shut her
off from the general source of supply
of saltpetre in Chile.
The United States in case of war,
DR.. Baekeland declared, would be
whipped within a year through short
age of nitrogen unless the navy could
protect the Chilean saltpetre fields
1t would take at least IL months, he
said, to develop the manufacture OF
nitric acid from the air in sufficient
quantities to produce the requisite
amount Of smokeless powder and eX
plosives, although the process was
invented in the United States.
DR.. Baekeland declared the govern
ment should establish at once a PLAN
for the manufacture of nitric acid
from the air. This would not be g
losing venture, he believed, because
what was not required for military
purposes could be sold for agricul
tural uses.

PosAL SEEKING FURTHER
INQUIRY.
AUSTRIA BELIEVED YIELDING
Sincere Desire to Preserve Friendly
Relations May Cause Dual Mon
archy to Sacrifice Much in
Her Next Reply.

Washington.-An impasse, in the
opinion of officials here, may soon
be reached in the negotiations be-
tween the United States and Austria
Hungary over the Ancona affair, ii
the dual monarchy, as reported in
press dispatch, is to ask that the is.
sues be submitted to an international
court Of arbitration.
President Wilson refused in all OF
the German submarine cases to arbi-
trate questions involving the ruthless
destruction of American lives. He has
consented to arbitrate only matters OF
indemnity. It is not believed here that
he will yield more to Austria-Hungary
in this regard than he did to Germany
According to dispatches from Wen
ma, Baron Zwiedinek, the Austrian
charge d'affaires here, last week
sought to learn from Secretary Of
State Lansing how the administration
would regard an arbitration proposal
Secretary Lansing is said TO have
told the Austrian diplomat that this
government could not consent to ar
bitrate TIE primary issues. To do 50
it is asserted here, would be to admil
that there might be some doubt as tt
the right of a submarine commander
to fire upon an unresisting merchant
ship carrying American passengers.
Austria can appeal to arbitration
with greater propriety than did Ger
many in the submarine %controvers!
last summer, for there is a convention
of arbitration between the United
States and that country, which wa
concluded in 1909.

GERMANS TAKE SWEDISH SHIP
Argo in Collision With Torpedo Boat
Is Pursued and Taken as
Prize.

London, England.-The steamship
Argo has been taken into a German
port by a prize crew, the Exchange
Telegraph's Copenhagen correspon-
dent says.
The Argo put into the Danish port
of Aarhus after having been in col
!ision with a German torpedo boat,
which fired several shots in an at
tempt to stop her. The Argo sailed
from Aarhus on the following day.
The dispatch says two German torpe-
do boats pursued her into Swedish
waters and boarded her, declaring her
a prize of war. Ten men we're put
on the Argo to take her to Germany.
The Argos cargo consists of tools
for Russia, manufactured in Denmark.
The Swedish government, according
to this account, has instructed its min
lister at Berlin to make an investiga'
tion.

Berlin.-From a highly competent
non-Austrian source in Vienna, pri-

clared, appears to be actuated by a

SUP 1EME COURT
'0N SCHOOL CASE
DECIDES WHAT PART OF STATE
REVENUE SHOULD GO
TO SCHOOLS.
OFFICIALS PARTLY ENDORSED
Portion of Diverted Funds Ordered
Back to Educational Balance
Court Opinion Unanimous
as to Disposition
Jefferson CITY

Jefferson City
By a unanimous opinion of the SUI
preme court, State Auditor Gordon
was directed to restore S334,198.31
to the public school funds of the
state.
The amount asked in the manda-
mus suit filed against the auditor by
State Superintendent of Schools H.
A. Gass last August was S496,5S7.34 4.
The court reduced this $162,39S.03 !.
The court held that all the money
which has been placed in the school
fund does not properly belong to it.
Two of the large items which have
been placed in the school fund ordi-
narily, but which were ordered trans
ferred to the general revenue are
the insurance funds, amounting to
about $125, 900, and fines collected in
the antitrust proceedings against the
lumber companies, which amounted
to 1882, 1855 last year.
The opinion of the court was writ
ten by Judge Faris, who awarded a
peremptory writ of mandamus direct
ing the auditor to set aside this sum
and reapportion it to the schools,
which will give a total of $1,757,9 1885,
43, the largest the schools have ever
received, according to Judge Faris.
Judge Faris also ruled that fees
collected from various state depart
ments should not go to the school
fund until the fees were so large that
a surplus above that needed to pay
officers had accumulated. In the
state grain department there was a
surplus of $30,631.95, and that proper
ly went into the school fund, Judge
Faris ruled.
The ruling will leave a great hole
in the revenue fund of the state, and
there may not be enough to pay the
expenses in June. The move to take
money from the school fund was
made last summer after the state off.
Gals had discovered that they need.
ed more money. Part of the money
was spent and part put aside to wait
for the ruling of the supreme court

Major for vIeePresIdent.

~ -
GOV. Elliott W. Major Is a recep
tive candidate for the Democratic
nomination for vice president, accord
ing to authoritative information
When he was asked for a statement
with reference to the matter, he saio'
at is a great compliment to be men
toned for that high office. n me
nomination is an honor which no man
could afford to urn down If it should
be rendered"
It can be stated authoritatiyely that
the governor is a candidate for Unit
ed States senator, but should there be
a demand for him to accept the Demo
cratic vice presidential nomination,
he will not hesitate to leave the sen
atorial track to accept it.
Democratic politicians who are pro-
noting the governors candidacy for
the United States senate are over
looking no bets on the vice presiden-
tial proposition.
Here are six reasons advanced by
them why the governor would be
good Democratic vice presidential
timber:
That he always has been in thor
ough accord with President Wilson
and his policies.
That he is a vote getter, having led
the Democratic presidential candidate
for president in Missouri three times,
these being Parker, Bryan and Will
son.
That Missouri is a debatable
ground, and that his nomination
would lend strength to the national
ticket and help put it over.
That Missouri is entitled to recogni-
ton for the reason that Champ Clark,
a Missourian, was defeated for the
Democratic nomination for president
after having polled on several ballots
a majority of the votes of all the dele
gates in the national convention.
That Major carried Missouri by a
plurality of 10000, the highest plural
ity ever given to a candidate for gov
ernor in Missouri.
That he is a good campaigner and
willing to make as many speeches a
day as the committee wants him to

Woman May Be Paroied.

Mrs. Aggie Myers of Kansas City,
a life prisoner at the state prison, is
fatally ill, and will be released under
a sick parole if anyone can be found
who will take care of her. She and
Frank Hoffman, a young farmer of
Lafayette county, murdered her hus-
band, a printer, in Kansas City, for
which crime both were sentenced to
hang. Gov. Folk interfered in April,
1907, after the scaffold had been erect
ed upon which the woman was to be
executed. Hottman's sentence was
also committed to life imprisonment.
The woman has been ill for more than
two years.

Ask Rehearins on Rate Cases.

Former Senator M. E. Rhodes of
Potosi, has filed a motion for rehear-
ing in the railroad advance rate cases
with the public service commission.
He asks a suspension Of the rates
advanced by order of the commission
until his motion for a %rehearing is
heard and determined.
Rhodes, who is an attorney, in a
statement made after the filing of his
motion, says he is acting for, him
and represents no one.
1t is in reality designed to make a
test of the right and authority Of the
commission to advance railroad rates,
either freight or passenger, beyond
the maximum fixed by statute.
