AUSTRIA YIELDS TO

Reply to Ancona Note Meets the Car

Washington.-Aust reply to the
Ancona note not only meets the car
dinal points Of the American demands,
but gives assurances for the future
which are considered more satisfac-
tory in their extent than those which
were given by Germany.
The full American official view will
not be known until after President
Wilson has studied the Austrian reply,
which was received Friday from En-
bassador Penfeld and was immediate

White House messenger.
1t may be stated authoritatively,
nevertheless, that danger of rupture
Of diplomatic relations has passed,
and the controversy now enters the
same stage as the Lusitania negotia-
tions with Germany, on even a more
favorable basis.
Austria in the Ancona case has sub
scribed to the principle that no ships
would be sunk until they offer resist
ance or fee, without the persons
aboard being brought to safety. This
is considered an assurance that is far
reaching and satisfactory.
Germany only promised not to at
tack liners" until the persons aboard
had been placed in boats. The extent
of the designation "liners" never has
been cleared up and the American
government does not concede that

DEATH SUMMONS LAMAR.
Associate Justice of Supreme Court
Suecumbs After Long Illness.


Washington.-Joseph Rucker La
mar, associate justice of the supreme
court of the United States, died at his
home here Sunday night, after an Ill
ness of several months. He was So
years old and had been on the supreme
bench FIVE years.
The immediate cause Of death was
gradual heart failure, fastened by in
flammation of one of the lungs which
had threatened to develop into pneu-
monia.
Associate Justice Joseph Rucker
Lamar had the distinction of being one
of the few members of the court ap-
pointed by a president of opposite po-
litical faith. President Taft appointed
him in 1910 with only two precedents
for such action, those of Justice Jack
son and Lurton.
Justice Lamar was born In Fuckers
Vile, Ebert county, Ca, October IA,
1857. He attended the University OF
Georgia and later Bethany college,
where he was graduated in 1877. He
attended the law school at Washing
ton and Lee university, and was ad-
mitted to the bar at Augusta, Ca, in
1878. He lived at Augusta until APP
pointed to the supreme court bench.
In the practice of the law, he largely
represented railroads and other big
corporations, and yet in the day OF
antipathy to corporation lawyers, his
integrity was so highly regarded that
the senate without delay confirmed
his nomination.
