VIENNA HAS NOT

Message of Secretary Lansing Asking Durba's Recall Is Delayed
 Somewhere
ASSOCIATED PRESS prspArcH1

VIENNA, Sept 15.-Even though no admission could be obtained from gov ernment quarters that anything more was known about the request for the recall of Ambassador Dumba at Wash ington than is contained in newspapers reaching here. it appears to be a fact that no report of any nature has as yet been received from the ambassador himself
 American Ambassador Penfield has not received Secretary Lansing's note requesting the withdrawal of Dr.. Dumba
 The first news that Ambassador Penfield received concerning the situa- ton was through foreign newspapers. Austria is so cut off from the outside world it is doubtful whether Dumba's s report can be received other than by means of a messenger, which indicates at least a fortnight of waiting will re- suit Conversations with various per- sons in a position to speak strength ems the impression already reported by the Associated Press that the Austro- Hungarian government ardently de- sires to avoid anything which will lead to the belief that the Dumba matter signifies anything approaching an ac- tual political issue or is likely to have any effect whatever on the relations between Austria and the United States.

 That both sides were willing that the lighting plants should be operated and differed only as to the manner of their operation was the information received Tuesday by the corporation commission from Sheriff J. G. Cash of Greenlee county. Inquiries brought statements from Norman Carmichael, general manager of the Arizona Copper com pany and H. H. Mclean of the Detroit Copper Mining company to the effect that they were even more anxious than the commission to operate their light ing plants but that the strikers had refused to allow them to resume. Man ager Carmichael stated that he had men prepared to resume operation of the plant, which was shut down at 2 o'clock yesterday morning. and that he would do so unless prevented by force. The lighting plant of the Detroit Cop per Mining company has not been in operation since Sunday night.

 In the Dardanelles he continued, the British had made substantial gains. though they had not succeeded in dis lodging the Turks from the crest of ths hills. The British now hold a front Of more than twelve miles.
 In the east, Premier Asquith said the Russian army was unbroken. He asserted the superiority of the Germans only in artillery and that their objec- tive was still far out of reach.
 "They have succeeded in forcing the line of our gallant ally and taking sev- eral fortresses.' he continued. but all accounts show that the Russian retreat ion and that the Russian army is still unbroken.

ELK PROSPER
 IN ARIZONA
Report of Forest Supervis- or Shows That They Are Flourishing in the Cheve- lon District-New Game Refuge Proposed.

That Arizona, especially the Cheve- lon district in the Sitgreaves National forest, is proving an ideal habitat for the herd of elk imported a few years ago is indicated in the recent report of Forest Supervisor Charles H. Jen- nings of Snowflake to the district for ester at Albuquerque. Forty nine elk and I9 calves. the report states have been seen this year on the Sitgreaves forest. and Is calves on the Coconino National forest. and all appear to be in good condition.
 About 50 of the original herd of IS are still alive and seem to be flour ishing according to Forest Ranger Hughes. who is stationed in the south portion of the Chevelon district, and who has had opportunity to observe the elk since they were brought to Arizona from the Yellowstone park and taken south from Winslow. The elk he reports are fat. not very wild, and ap- pear to be ell-located. Last year 47 grown animals were seen. together with seven calves; this year the number has increased. Seven or eight he states. died in the winter of 1913. the deaths being due to poverty and prey ing animals. Ranger owens who also reported having seen elk in his rounds. states that two were seen this year near the head of Chevelon canyon.
 Forest Supervisor Jennings has an- nounced that he will recommend the creation of a game refuge covering the entire Chevelon district. This will be done not only for the elk but also as a protective measure for deer and wild turkey. which are said to be in need of protection in this part of the state.
 The introduction of elk into Arizona from the Yellowstone National Park was brought about largely through the efforts of the local lodge of the B. P. O. Elks. which took great interest in obtaining a herd for liberation in this state Plans are now under way for the liberation of a number o1 elk into the Graham mountains. their shipment from the Yellowstone Park having been delayed only by the federal quarantine against the foot and mouth disease It is now believed that the herd in the Sitgreaves forest numbers considerably over 100 head.

that the plants should be put into op- eration, provided they were allowed to put these men in charge. At the con sultation between the commission and the governor yesterday morning. it was brought out that although the com mission was powerless to prescribe who should operate the plants, the com panies, insofar as they supply electric light to the towns in the district are public service corporations and plainly under the Jurisdiction of the corpora tion commission.
 Under ordinary conditions lighting service is public necessity, and in the present situation it is more, it Is a safety measure" declared Chairman F. 4 Jones of the commission yesterday.

"The commission has no power to pre- scribe how the plants shall be operated, but it does insist and shall continue to insist that they be operated, and that the towns in the district be given service"
 Sheriff Cash advised Governor Hunt yesterday that the situation was quiet, that there had been no trouble of any kind, and that he had plenty of good men on hand in case of any outbreak. He had, however, been unsuccessful in his attempts to bring the two sides to terms on the lighting question and ap- pealed to the commission to settle the matter.

Stopped Printing Forged Pool
Room Tickets on the
Horse Races.
USED A MINIATURE CAMERA
Early Acquaintance With Crooks and
His knowledge of Human Nature
Have Helped Him to Success
and to the Establishment
Of a Big Business.
BY OSBORN MARSHALL.

1t was In the good old days Of the
early nineties when horse racing flour
ished under kindlier law in New
York than it does today that Tom
Eagan had the distinction of being Off
cial stationer an6 printer to the book
makers and poolrooms of the city. He
supplied them with pencils and pads,
blank books, ink and record books and
did whatever printing their business
called for. He 1t was who printed the
colored tickets issued to those who
bet on the races in the poolrooms or
on the track. These tickets, which
were filled in at the 'time of the bet
ting, served as record of the transac-
ton, and in case the bettor was lucky
he received his winnings on presenta-
ton of the ticket.
Toms business with the poolrooms
and bookmakers had thriven and 1t
seemed that the neat little profit from
printing the tickets would continue SO
long as Tom Eagan continued to run
his printing presses.
One day, however, Mr.. Eagan got
word that there were counterfeiters at
work. Fake tickets were being print
ed and filled out to duplicate Eagan's
tickets, and every once in a while win
nings went to holder of the fake
ticket instead OF to the real winner.
So between Mr.. Eagan and the pool
room operators new system had to
be devised. Thereafter tickets were
printed in several colors, according to
the number of the ticket. That is, all
tickets numbering between one and a
hundred should be pink, all between

the fake printing" he told Peyser,
but can't prove it, and don't know
as 1t would do much good If could.
What we want to do'is to get photo
graph of him and have 1t sent to every
poolroom and every bookmaker in this
part of the country. Then they will
know him and can steer clear of him.
Now, what want you to do is to get
the photograph. He runs a printing
shop down on Broadway and Twenty
seventh street" Eagan told Peyser
the name of the suspected printer and
Peyser said he would get the photo
graph If anyone could.
First he went to see the printer on
the pretext of wanting to do some
business with him, taking care not to
arouse his suspicious. Then, when he
had secured his confidence, he went
to nearby photographer.
There is fellow around here" he
told the photographer, whose picture
I've got to have. He isn't anxious to
be photographed, either. What want
you to do is to hang out on Twenty
seventh street and Broadway and wait
till you see me. I'll come out about
noon with my friend and when you see
us you can level the camera and take
the picture"
This agreed upon, Peyser went to
see the printer, with whom he had al
ready arranged to have luncheon. At
noon they rounded the corner of Twen-
ty-seventh street and Broadway, Pey-
ser talking eagerly to the printer as
they walked along. The photographer
was seated on bootblack stand, hav-
ing his shoes polished, camera in
hand, on the opposite corner. He lev
eled the camera at the dishonest
printer and Peyser continued to talk
vigorously.
Unable to get the right focus from
the bootblack stand, the photographer
swung down and started out in the
street Then herested his camera on
the wheel of an express wagon that
happened to be standing at a conven-
lent distance and started to focus
again.
Say" said the printer to Peyser,
"who is that fellow over there and
why is he 'mugging' me? What have
l done that would make anyone want
a picture of me?"
"You!" exclaimed Peyser, with a
laugh. "Nobody's 'muggiRg' you.
Why, there does seem to be a camera
man, but how do you know he isn't
aiming at me? Guess I'd make as
good-looking a picture as you would"
81 don't like it, anyway" said the
printer, and the keen eyes of the de-
tective did not miss the nervous COM

pulled his wide-brimmed hat over his
face and shrunk his chin down on his
breast. They can get a picture of my
hat IL they want it. That can't be
much good" he growled.

After lunch, during which Peyser
tried to get the printers mind off the

The next day when Peyser went to

one and two hundred should be green,
and SO on throughout the list. Each
day a different color was used for a
different set of numbers, and as this
code was communicated secretly to
the poolroom men 1t was hoped that in
this way they could detect the fraudu-
lent tickets.
Still the trouble continued. Appar-
emily the dishonest printer printed his
slips on every color Of cardboard
every day. Then when the races were
over the man who manipulated the
fraudulent tickets would manage to
see over the shoulder of the holder Of
the winning ticket, note the number
and the color, select a ticket of the
right denomination and color from his
own collection. I'LL 1t in and, on pre-
