u. S. FEARS OPEN
BREAK With AUSTRIA:
Teuton Government May Not Recall
Dumba- Passports Will Be Given
Him, Say Officials.

Washington, Sept. 1O.-An open
break between the United States and
Austria is expected by officials here,
and it is feared that Ambassador Pen
field will retire from Vienna.
New Crisis.
There is new crisis in American
relations with the two great allied
powers, Austria-Hungary and Ger
many. The issues that have aroused
the officials are first, the demand upon
Austria for the recall of Ambassador
Dumba, and second, Germany's un-
satisfactory and disappointing Arabic
note. Officials admit that the two
are linked, and believe that Germany
will stand by Austria who it is feared
will refuse to recall Dumba.
Lansing Issues Statement.
If Dumba is not recalled he will be
handed his passports, said Secretary
of State Lansing, today. The United
States will wait reasonable time
but in case Austria fails to answer
Dumba will receive his passports.
On account of past experiences it
is almost certain that Austria will
refuse to withdraw Dumba.

Rainy river was brought out in the
testimony of Captain Alonzo Wheeler,
lake pilot since 1883, at the hearing

Now the passage is obstructed by

Testimony by numerous farmers
show that since the dams at Kenora
were established the shore line has
been pushed more than a quarter of

The sewer system of the village of

PIONEERS CAPTURE
LOG CABIN AT FAIR

st. Paul, Mimi, Sept. 10.-Nearly
200 war veterans and pioneers of
Minnesota, moved by the spirit of
81, led charge against the Terri
torial Pioneers log cabin at the state
fair grounds shortly before noon on
Thursday. The outer defenses soon
gave way, and in few moments the
building was completelyiR the hands
of the attacking force. ). p
The movement was the result of
growing indignation on the part of
members of the Territorial Pioneers
association over the action of Secre-
tary George H. Hazard in refusing
to open the cabin because of grievan-
ces which he has against the fair
board
Talk of a special meeting of the
association Thursday to oust Mr..
Hazard, and also to ask an account
ing of money he has received in the
past as rent for the strip of ground
between the cabin and the Hall of
Fame, was heard. Resentment was
strong among the pioneers, who spoke
of his action as "high-handed."

damaged near Loman by striking a
rock, and the Alice and mail boat on
their trips here yesterday had to
run on reduced power most of the
way, greatly delaying their arrival.
Passengers could only be taken

able to Government; 1nstigated
Strikes in American Plants.

Washington, Sept. 1O.-Ambassa-
dor Penfield at Vienna has been in
structed to inform the Austro-Hun-
garian government that DR.. Constan-
tine Dumba no longer is acceptable
as an envoy to the United States, and
to ask for his recall. Secretary Ian
sing formally announced the action
last night. 1t was the answer of the
American government to DR.. DumDa's s
explanation of his Intercepted letter
to Vienna, outlining plans for handi-
Gaping factories in this country
making war munitions and supplies
for the allies.
Ambassador Penfield was instructed
by cable yesterday to deliver the fol-
lowing note to the foreign office:
Admits His Connection.
"Mr. Constantine Dumba, the Aus
tro-Hungarian ambassador at Wash
ington, has admitted that he proposed
to his government plans to instigate
strikes in American plants engaged
in the production of munitions of
war The information reached the
government through copy of a let
ter of the ambassador to his govern
ment. The bearer was an American
citizen, James @sArchibald, who was
travelling under an American pass
port. The ambassador has admitted
that he employed Archibald to bear
official dispatches from him to his
government.
No Longer Acceptable.
"By reason of the admitted pur-
pose and intent of Mr.. Dumba to con-
spire to cripple legitimate industries
of the people of the United States and
to interrupt their legitimate trade,
and by reason of the fragrant VIOLA
tion of diplomatic propriety in en-
ploying an American citizen, protect
ed by an American passport, as a
secret bearer of official dispatches to
the lines of the enemy Of the Aus
trian country, the president desires
to inform your excellency that Mr..
Dumba is no longer acceptable to the
government of the United States as
the ambassador of his imperial majes-
ty at Washington.
Expressed Deep Regret.
"Believing the imperial and royal
government will realize that the
government of the United States has
no alternative but to request the re-
call of Mr.. Dumba on account of his
improper conduct, the government of
the United States expresses it's deep
regret that this course has become
necessary, and assures the imperial
and royal government that it sincere
ly desires to continue the cordial and
friendly relations which exist between
the United States and Austria-Hun-
gary" .-
