VIENNA REPORTS CET1|NJE FALLEN
Capital of Montenegro Has Been Captured and Teutons will be
 Free to Join Main Troops.

VIENNA, Jan. 14-The Austrian war office has announced that the troops have captured Cettinje, the capital of Montenegro, and that the little Balkan kingdom is now suing for peace. It has required less than two months time for the Germans to force a passage through the noun tain passes of Montenegro, which for centuries have been regarded as inn pregnable to hostile force.
 The royal family of Montenegro and all the government officials fled from the country into Italy, which is now the home of the former ruler of the Serbian kingdom
 The news that Montenegro is seek ing peace at any price has caused great joy here as it is believed that the enemy nations will soon be driven from the Balkans when the central European powers can turn their at- tention to crushing other enemies.

PERJURY CAUSES. BIG
 " VERDICT SET ASIDE

WHITE PLAINS, N. Y., Jan. 14.- Because the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Company produc- ed affidavits to show that two wit nesses for Oscar Fried, who obtained a verdict for $75,0O0 against the cor poration for injuries he suffered in 1913, had committed perjury, Justice
 Morschauser filed a decision in the Supreme Court here setting aside the
 judgment and granting new trial.
 The lawyers for the railroad company had been fighting the judgment for nearly two years.
 Fried was in charge of gang Of !linemen who were employed in cleo trical work on the New Haven system at Mount Vernon when he came into contact with a high tension wire con taining 22,OO0 volts, which burned of both his arms near the shoulders. At the second trial on May 8, 1914, a jury awarded verdict for v'o,OOO' which was the largest amount ever given a laboring man in the history of Westchester county. The verdict was considered excessive by the court and Justice Morschauser then an nounced that unless plaintiff stipu-
 lated to accept $55,000 he would
 grant a new trial. Then both sides
 appealed to the Appellate Division. In the meantime, however, the New
 Haven detectives began working ur
 evidence to show that two of the wit
 nesses for Fried, T. J. Berkeley and
 Joseph Sharkey had committed per Ijury. They were both indicted.

.|NSULAR BUREAU PRAISES GOVERNOR
Endorsed by Former Pres- ident Taft Is Contradicted Re-
 garding the Philippines.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-Briga- |dier General Frank Mcintyre, chief |of the Bureau of Insular affairs, in his annual report to the War depart ment, highly praises the manner in which Governor Harrison has ad- ministered the laws in the Philippine islands.
 The report is in direct contradic- |tion of the statement made by Prof. Jones who visited the islands and aft |erwards issued a pamphlet. in which he declared that Governor Harrison s administration had resulted in de- moralizing the natives through the abolition of the civil service rules. The pamphlet created considerable comment as it had been endorsed by former President Taft and was used by the Republicans in an effort to dis credit the administration.
 It is admitted in the report that more than ten thousand of the natives succumbed to the ravages of cholera during the past year but the disease is now said to have been brought un- der control and is rapidly disappear ing

RUSsIA'S NEW RAILWAY
 ROUTE INTO PERSIA

In view of the unrest all along the Russo Persia border which na" grown more intense with each pass ing month of the war, a sketch or Russia's new route, a railway route, into Persia, takes on consideraple timely interest. The new line plan ned and constructed just previous to the war, when Russia's interest reach cd out beyond southern Transcau- casia into the northern parts of the weakening and wildly governed ter ritories of the Shah, is described in a bulletin issued by the National Geographic society. AS roads in Tran scaucasia are built upon the Spanish principle of keeping people of them' this line of track has most import ant bearing upon the maintenance of order at the boundary. The bulletin reads:
 ''"rhere are two routes from Eu- rope to Teheran. One through Rus sia to Baku. the oil city on the Cas- plan, thence by steamer to Resht and, finally, by road to the PersiaI' capital road built up and kept up by Russia. This route is the older route. The second way, made possible by railway construction thru South Transcaucasia, which today has considerable strategic value, is the lroduCE of recent Russian labors. The traveller by this route sets out from Tfflis. the capital of the Cau- casus, takes a train south over Alex andropol and Erivan, thence to Nakhitchevan, the first city founded by Noah after abandoning the Ark ',spo 'uspoH E nsi Y HI V rasa ing down the vafley of the Araxes,, where the Armenians place Eden, he passes the international boundary at Djulfa.

DOUGLAS, ISLE OF MAN
 HAS A CODE ALL ITS OWN.

DOUGLAS, Isle of Man: There are almost 30,0OO aliens of military age |interned on this island, all men, and they are being supported by the gov |ernment at an approximate cost of ten shillings per capita weekly. Elab- crate camps with modern sewage sys- Items have been constructed and a be- ginning has been made in establish ing workshops where idleness can be turned into industry. In time all the |interned aliens may be brought here. There are also 4,000 at Alexandra Palace in London still. There are no longer any interned at Frimley, near Aldershot.
 There are still many thousands of Germans and Austrians who have not been interned and all have a chance of appearing before a tribunal estab- lished for the purpose of deciding whether internment is desirable. When interned they can communicate with their home governments through the American ambassador which still maintains two men at the former home of Prince Lichnowsky in Carle- ton Terrace. For many months these two men have been Edward.G. Lowry of New York and Leland H. Little field of Providence.
 The agitation calling for the whole sale internment of enemy aliens, so vigorously carried on during the past year, has now died down and there appears to be an indifference as to whether aliens are interned or not.
 Resentment Is dying down. The nations are beginning to respect each other. They. are being to fraternizs more. French soldiers claim they ara treated excellently by the Germans and the Germans praise the French. D. E..

|cording to schedule, and their prog
 ress is deliberate in the extreme. The
 way lies through a country intensely hot during a great part of the year, and the cars used on the line are |constructed after the most advan- |tageous manner for catching and re- |taining all possible heat. Moreover, the fares are cheap and the way is patronized heavily by swarms of
 Asiatics, malodorous and neighborly. "The trains, in pre-war days, had Q way of leaving important stations between anu 6 o'clock in the morn ings. The wayside stations were
 miserable shanties, where widest confusion reigned. Buying tickets at the small hoy. Is, which housed the ticket offices, meant the business of la free-for-all fight in the midst of a tostling crew of excited Orientals.
 Moreover, one must go with the crowd on this line to the Persian bor- der, because TO first class carriages are operated thereon. Among other
 drawbacks one soon has the knowl- edge forced upon him that his fel- |low-passengers >are verminous.
 "The cars are dirty. They are old,
 uncomfortable, and ni ventilated.

BIG DEAL
GOES THROUGH
Edgar-VeseIey Outfit Sold. Con-
sideratiOn About $4,000

One of the largest land and live
stock transfers of several years
took place here this week when the
first payment was made to James
Edgor of Redrock, N. NJ, by j. A.
Wilson, acting for G.. h. Head for
the sale of the fine stock of
about 2300 head Of angora goats
and the land owned and applied
for by Edgar and Veseley in the
Gila river country.
Mr.. Edgar's outfit is one of the
best in southern Grant county, bor-
dering on the National forest and
extending to the river. In the
ranch is included Mr.. Edgar's
homestead and improvements,
what is known as the Harris place,
five and half sections of state
land and several mining claims.
The tract is ideal for goats or cat
tie, and with its purchase MIR. Head
now becomes the owner of one of
the best and most complete out
fits in this section, his land now
extending many miles south, east
and north from the ella river.
The initial payment for the en-
tire purchase price, which totals
$40, 900, was made Tuesday and the
balance-[will be paid July /.
Mr. Edgar intends to move into
Lordsburg when the sale is com
pleted, but has not yet made up
his mind, where he will locate on
in what business he will engage af-
ter that.
Frank Veseley, we'll known citi-
zen of Silver City, is a third owner
i'm the Edgar outfit.
