First Session of Austrian PaEliamenl Since War Began-Tisza Broke
 With King Over Franchise.

Amsterdam, via London, May 25. 7:36 a. m.-A Vienna telegram says that in the course of meeting of the representatives of the lower cham Der, Premier Clam-Martinic expressed the hope that the session would pro- ceed in manner to increase the repu- tation of the monarchy abroad. A coalition and war profit tax law are to be submitted. The premier admit ted the right of the house to decide independently what Is considered nec- essary.
 The foregoing despatch gives the first news that the Austrian parlia- ment has convened. The convening of parliament, which has not been in session since the outbreak of the war, has been one of the most acute po- litical questions in Austria. Dr. Fred rich Adler, the assassin of Premier Stuergkh gave as the principal reason for his act the premier's refusal to convene the legislature. / On April 26 the government yielded to the growing popular demand and an- nounced that parliament would meet May 30. Premier Clam-Martinic's address presumably was delivered at a preliminary.
 A Budapest despatch received by way of Berlin says that Count Tisza, at conference with representatives of the national labor party, declared that the principal reason for his res- isnation as Hungarian premier was his attitude in regard to the franchise question. which he outlined in an ex- haustive speech The king would not accept his proposals.
 Count Tisxa said he would support the next government in any measures having to do with requirements for warfare, but that he would maintain firmly his stand on the franchise ques- ton. His speech was warmly ap- plauded.

PUTNAM COUNTY BOY
DESERTS FROM ARMY
Is Arrested in Palatka and
Awaits Return to Camp
Wheeler.

Among the young men of Palatka
who were caught last summer by the
glamour and panoply Of war was
young Jack Westbrook of this city.
Jack was captivated by the sight of
the troops here last spring under
Capt. Garcia, guarding the water
works and the A. c. l.. bridges at
Rice Greek and over the st. Johns
river at Buffalo Bluff.
Grim visaged war looked good to
him.
Jack is young, only IS, and he went
to Jacksonville under the spell and
enlisted. He hadn't thought much
concerning the seriousness of war.
He is in company which went out
with the First Florida regiment, and
is now in training at Camp Wheeler,
Macon, Ga.
Last Sunday Jack had homesick
feeling come upon him, and he desert
ed. He came home. Then the gov
eminent went after him. A telegram
tc Sheriff Hag&n told him to keep
watch. Two d9ys later Deputy Fen
nell went to the home of Jacks par.
erta, where he found the boy. He
was arrested foi desertion from the
United Ststes army. 1t is a serious
charge, punishable in time Of war by
death. But there is evidence that
jack didn't know that, or the serious
eaSs Of his otfense. He didn't know
that it would appear in his military
record and that in after years his
,rme would be On the black list and
tE.t if he had children ths might
. hl7,2h for him.
Jack says he only intended to have
81 good time and then go back. Per-
hons that i5 the case Anyway we
trust a KINDLY president will deal
~,o""irnNv hv him and make his pun
's'mrr- 1ioht-ipst enough to teach
! linn a lesson.
Jack is being held until detail
from Camp Wheeler comes for him.

PUTNAM CIRCUIT COURT
HOLDS SHORT TERM
Business of Term Completed
in Two Days-Judge
Wills.

The Putnam Circuit Court, Hon.
James 7. Wills presiding, convened
on Monday morning and the docket
was cleared by Tuesday night.
The shortness of the term-one of
the shortest in the history of the coun-
ty, was due to several facts First
of these was the small number of
crimes of a serious nature committed
in the county during the past six
months, and second to the expeditions
manner in which Judge Wills tries the
cases ON hand.
Then number of those up for trial
entered pleas Of guilty, which saved
trial
Much of the credit Of this expidi-
tiousnesS is due to the ability Of Mr..
Long, the States attorney.
Judge Wills in his talk to the
grand jury stressed the fact that the
small number of criminal cases to be
tried was due largely to the suppress
sion of blind tigers, which County
Judge Calhoun and Sheriff Hagan
have been doing.
Perhaps the most interesting case
heard WAS that Of Hilbun & Merry
day VS.. T. j. Wright, in am action
to get Judgment for $500 due for at
torney's fee. Wright was charged
with the murder of the Turner's, IA
ther and son, in St. Johns county
The Turner'S were popular in that
county and feeling ran high slgainst
Wright there. Had he been tried
there the chances are that he woulC
have been a memory now. But hif
attorneys fought for a chsnge of We
nue.. and finally secured q trial Of the
case in Clay county. Wrjght was ac-
Quilted on one Indictment; the Cthe1
hung for q year or more and was
mol pressed Wright wGs free. H
! had paid a retainer Of $500 but his
attorneys wanted another 2rI l.Ec
amount. Wright promised, but Didn't
ply. He was inclined to spurn the
men who saved his life. Hence the
action. Wright was represented by
| Major G. WASHINGTON B&ssett Of st
/ Augustine. The jury found for the
plaintiffs.
The grand jury mede no present
ment of recommendations 1t con-
fired itself to :. thank offering in
words. Judge Willis complimented
the jury.
The other cases were not society
cases. They were wholly among
people of color who don't even move
in the best coIored circles Some
were taken Ito PRISON. and others
were left-discharge or continued.
1t is lust as we'll to remember that
you can't conquer the foe by merely
waving the flag at him.

Miss Cora Bergeron, 15-year- odd

last night. and as a result Of the eff

at an early hour this morning.
Why the girl took the acid is q
mystery. Her father. who Is EN-.

company's plant, and who was in the
police station early last night In
search of the girl, claimed she had not
returned home from her work yester-
day noon. He said that he had whip
ped the girl several times during the
summer for travelling around with SOL
diers. which punishment apparently
was of no avail. AS a matter or fact,
Cora was seen early last evening with
two young men near the Battery, both
Of whom were unrecognixable to a
soldier who passed the three at the
time.

assistance an unknown young man,
who escorted her as far as the Bee
Hive on North Ave-, whence the police
were notified. While the ambulance was
speeding on its way to get the girl.
several people in the vicinity Of the
aforementioned block endeavored to
get soap and water down her throat,
but this was useless, as 1t was imposs-
ible to force her Jaws open. Even
when she was taken into the hospital

NAVY BOYS REMEMBERED
burlington Women Sending Out Christ.
mas Boxes Containing Luxurfes.

H""S DONcs Containing Luxur1eDs
Words of highest commentator wer(
forthcoming yesterday from the ofYicerf
and navy men at the local recruiting
station for the patriotic spirit mani.
tested by the ladies' Of Burlington for
their large and seemingly over-abun.
dant supplies Of candy, eatables. pipes
cigarettes. cigars and tobaccos of an
kinds and description that were sent
in to be mailed to the boys from thil
State now in the service Of the navy,
In this connection special mention il
due Mrs. L. d. Worthen. Mrs. B. II.
Stone and Mrs T.. f. Gebhardt.
The idea at the outset was to have
the motherless boys remembered al
Christmas time, but when the ladie(
got together they determined that
every mothers son should be remems
bered, regardless of whether his moth.
er was living at the present time or not.
The result of this determination is that
the place was literally swamped with
boxes Six men kept busy throughout
the entire afternoon and we'll into the
night addressing the boxes to the boys
in theVarious branches OF the service.
The local navy men are nightly
pleased with the situation and com.
mend the women hereabouts highly.
The proposition was put up to them
by Ensign C. A, Harris at recent
meeting of the Athena club.
