Rome reports that there were grave
riots in Vienna after the assassination
Of Count Stuergkh. which the police
were powerless to Quell. The wireless
also reports a renewal of manifesto

pushed forward from 800 to 500 yards
on a front of 5000 yards.
The advance was made between LIE
Sars and the Schwaben redoubt, which
was the scene of the earlier attack
by the Germans. Gen. Haig's men cap

advanced posts north and northeast OF

SERIOUS.CR|S|S
OF the War Arises in Connec-
ton with Lusitania Case,
is the Belief Of Berlin.

I BERLIN, Feb, 24.-The view en-
tertained here that one of the most
serious crisis Of the war has arisen
In connection with the Lusitania case
and that 1t is impossible to foresee
the outcome from any Indications
here. The resultof the9negotiatlons
appears TO hinge solely upon the one
word "illegal.p IN the way OF an
agreement between the United States
and Germany stand only seven let
ters expressing the conception which
President Wilson and Secretary Lam
sing insist must be embodied In the
German formula expressing regret
for the loss OF American lives aboard
the Cunarder. The Associated Press
is informed authoritatively that Ger
many cannot and will not designate
as illegal the sinking Of a liner by any
submarine.
Virtually no other difficulties In
the way OF settlement remain and the
new instructions forwarded to Am
bassador Won Bernstorff on Tuesday
contain merely the new formula by
which It is hoped to satisfy Wash
ington, without humiIltating this
country. Although the suggested
sentence, according to a reliable yer-
sion consists Of only eight words and
does not contain the word illegal
or characterize the sinking Of the
Lusltania as such 1t goes to otherwise
tfe ,furtherest extent possible toward
meeting American desires.

.RADY ELIMINATES
HIMSELF FROMTHE
MAYORALT LTY RACE

cess, II any, was being met with by
the leaders In their new effort, was
not learned.
In some Democratic quarters there
was still talk Of Edgar F. Hood as a
candidate for the Democratic nomi-
nation for mayor. Mr.. Hood, how
ever, has not as yet made announce
ment Of his candidacy.
Present Indications are that Ken
meth Sappington will have no oppon-
ent for the Democratic nomination
for chief Of police. Although he has
not yet announced himself as a can
didate, there seems to be no doubt
whatever but that Mr.. Sappington
will be a candidate.
Rumors afoat today had It that
W. R.. johnson, city clerk for one
term and Democratic candidate for
that position In 1915, would enter
the race for the Democratic nomina-
tion for that position. Democratic
leaders, however, said they knew
nothing of Mr.. Johnson's intentions.
On the Republican side there are
two new entrants into the races for
the nomination for city offices. John
d. Owens has thrown his hat into
the ring for the position of city as
SCISSOR, and w. B. Robbins, former
city councilman. has declared him
self a candidate for the Republican
nomination for city clerk.

APPAM A PRIZE
OF War is the Decision of the
United States and but One
Question Remains.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-secre-
tary Lansing indicated today that
the United States has decided to hold
that the Prussian-American treaty
governs the case of the Appam, as
Germany contends that all that re-
manned to be decided was the inter-
probation of the application of the
tleaty's terms
"a The Secretary disclosed further
that the sole question to be decided
by the Interpretation was how long
the Appam should be permitted to
remain in American waters. The
treaty guarantees to German prize
the right to come and go freely. If
the Appam were forced to depart 1t
would doubtless become the prey of
British cruisers outside the Virginia
capes. If forced to the part. Ger
man officials have stated the ship
would be sunk.

FIRE DRIVES FAMILY
INTO ZERO WEATHER
C. R. Weekly, His Wife and
Three Children Have Narrow
Escape from Flames.

Clad only in their night clothing,
C. R. Weekly, miner employed by the
Francois Coal Company, his wife and
three children were. driven from their
home at Norwood into the snow and
zero temperature about o'clock this
morning, by q fire which destroyed
their home and two other adjoining
houses, entailing a loss Of about $4,000.
The other two houses burned were
occupied by the families Of Rudy Sur
rovsky and Peter Kosyosky. Both
Surrovsky and Kosvosky are employed
by the Froncois Coal Company. They
and their families had plenty of time
to escape the flames, and they saved
q large majority Of their household
goods.
The fire originated in the kitchen OF
the Weekly home, and is thought to
have been caused by an explosion Of
gas. The light in the kitchen was left
burning when the Weekdays retired
Thursday night, and an explosion OF
some kind is thought to have set the
wall paper on fire.
Mr.. weekly was awakened by the
heat from the flames and had barely
time to rouse his wife and three chill
dren and get out of the house in safety.
They lost all their household goods,
and in addition $50 in currency was
destroyed by the flames. The MEM
bers of the Weekly family were given
shelter and provided for by neighbors.
All three houses burned were four
room buildings, and we're owned by
E. L. McWhorter, of near Jane Lew.
His loss Is estimated at $4,000. The
loss of the occupants Of the houses, It
is estimated, will bring the total to
near $4,000.
