AUSTRIA HASBROKEN

Severing Of Diplomatic Relations Due to

WASHINGTON, D. G., April

diplomatic relations with the
United .Statas&
Baron rick wiedinek, charge
| de affairs of the Austro- Hungar-
lian embassy here, called at the
State department today and ask
ed for passports for himself and
the embassy staff. Almost at
the same time a dispatch was re-
ceived from the American minis
1 ter, Stovall. at Berne, saying the
ldual monarchy had broken off
diplomatic relations with the
United States in Vienna yester-
day. 49, \
1t is presumed this was done
by handing passports to Ameri-
can Charge Grew. American Am
bassador Penfeld, who had left
Vienna on Saturday probably did
not know of the governments

it is estimated that 900 Aus

number in France also. In Aus

are thought to bring the total to

About 200 native Americans

prefer to stay in their country of
birth.
Officials here expect no diff
Guilty to be placed before Ameri-
cans in Austria and that all Am
erican embassy officials will be
permitted to leave without re-
straint or inconvenience owing
to the decidedly friendly feeling
shown by Austria despite Ger
many.
Officials here are deeply regrett-
ing the necessity which has driven
Austria to the step she has taken
but are nevertheless pleased at
the way out of it and United
States was not responsible for it
as with the recognition of war
with Germany. Officials point
out that the situation was pro-
voked by the other side and not
by the United States. Officials
here and in Vienna have been
prepared ever since February 8
| for the present situation. At
that time American officials in
Austria were instructed by the
State department to be ready to
leave any moment and the same
is though true of Austria officials
here.

GUSTS ALIEN CLERGY
No Foreign Born Priests Permitted in
Clerical Work in Mexico.

Mexico City, Sept. 11.-Priests of
religious orders have neither been ex-
PEELED from Mexico nor are they
threatened with expulsion.
The new legislation provides that
no preachers, ministers of any sort or
cult or who are not Mexican born
may discharge the duties of a church
or hold a church position in Mexico
While foreign born priests have
been notified that they must give up
their parishes and charges they have
not been threatened with expulsion
and may remain in the country the
same as other foreigners during their
good behavior.
A dispatch from Rome, Monday,
said the vatican had asked the good
offices of the British and American
governments on behalf of priests and
religious orders in Mexico threaten
ed with expulsion from the country.

Anticipate Rejection of Plea by
Kansas Utilities Body.
Roads Base Testimony on Okla
hOma Passenger Formula.
REVENUE SMALL
Santa Fe Claims Earnings of
Only 2.S Per Cent.
Hearing Comprised of Records
Only; To Close Thursday.

Kansas railroads m ay conclude
their freight rate case before the pub
llc utilities commission sometime
Thursday Anticipating a rejection of
Jurisdiction by the commission, rail-
road attorneys indicated by their ac-
t1ons that they proposed to conclude
their case with a formal presentation
Of records. Then they will probably
go to the federal court
The Oklahoma formula which be-
came famous in the passenger rate
case, returned for a visit during the
taking of testimony in the freight rate
case. By adopting the hundreds of
items for distributing receipts and
meeting expense items, the railroads
showed an appalling condition in
handling intrastate freight business.
Santa Fe Earnings Low.
Even the Santa Fe, which stands at
the top among western railroads,
showed meagre intrastate freight rate
earnings. Using the state tax COM
missions figures for the property as
signed to freight business, the road
showed that it earned but .28 per cent
on it's inurastate freight business dur
ing the last fiscal year. Several other
roads showed even more adverse con-
ditionS.
Representatives of the Missouri Pa
cific and the Grand Island occupied
the stand today. The Santa Fe, Rock
Island. Frisco and Burlington have
already concluded their cases. The
Union Pacific and M. K. & T. will
present freight records at Thursdays
hearing. Attorneys in the case be-
lieved the hearing would be concluded
some time Thursday afternoon.
Commission on Fence.
At the opening of the case Tuesday
morning the state commission de-
clined to announce whether it re-
tained Jurisdiction in the freight rate
controversy. After a conference at
torneys for the railroads agreed to
present their case. If jurisdiction is
denied, the roszds propose to take Their
case to the federal court. They will
pursue course similar to that adopt
ed in seeking federal court relief in
the 1ntrastate passenger rate case
Under the application the railroads
seek horizontal increase of 20 per cent
in all classes of intrastate freight ex-
cept on oil. An increase of 81 to
40 per cent is sought on existing oil
tariffs

Great Coal Conservation Cam
paign "TO Protect Homes"
BUT BINS STILL ARE EMPTY
Expects To Have Entire Plan
Operating by October 1.
To Push Output Miners Will
Get Higher Wages.

Washington, Sept. ia great coal
conservation campaign, an advisory
board from the coal industry to aid
Fuel Administrator Garfield and pri-
ority relief to homes threatened with
freezing are among the governments
conservation plans for dealing with the
coal crisis.
This, it was officially learned today,
is in addition to the announced policy
of speedy solution of price problems
by state fuel controllers, local retail
price committees and more efficient
mobilization of coal transportation
and production.
By October 1, Garfield hopes to have
the entire scheme well under way. The
campaign will be launched immedi-
ately.
If everything else fails, the coal pro-
duced will be pooled under govern
ment control and districted arbitrarily
by government agencies wherever
most needed.
Barons Interview Dictator.
In Garfield's office, the unusual
sight of the countrys leading coal
barons coming to government die
tator' for orders may be seen today.
The Ohio coal magnates conferred
with Garfield while operators from the
big Kansas City district, headed by
Harry Taylor, met with Assistant Fuel
Administrator Nimms. These were
the first of series of conferences with
operators from every field, at which
the governments plans will be told
and cooperation of the operators
sought.
Operators protesting President Will
sons prices are given uniform cost
sheets which they must fill out and
return to Garfield.
John P. White, president of the
United Mine Workers, began work to-
day as Garfields aid in obtaining
maximum production from the min
ers. For this White is convinced a
wage increase will be necessary to
! keep the miners from going to Better
/ paid munitions plants.
Assured Higher Wages.
A substantial raise is assured.
White will be joined shortly en- the
! advisory board by Representatives of
| the anthracite and bitimunous opera
tors, the war industries boards pri-
ority committee, the shipping board
and perhaps other government
branches.
The coal conservation Campaign
will follow the lines of Herbert Hoover's s
| anti-food waste, wheatless, meatless
days. The best method of tending a
furnace, banking a fire at night and
conserving the fuel supply will be
| taught every household as we'll ss ev-

JAR A SENATOR! !
Declare Hardwick's Spirit of
Opposition Imperils Nation.
Another "Friend of Kaiser'
Bill Squelched in Senate.

Washington, Sept. 12.-Denouncing
the Introduction of such a proposition
the senate military committee today
reported adversely Senator Hardwicks s
resolution which would provide that
the consent of every drafted man
must be obtained before he is required
to perform foreign service. The com
mittee, the report says, believes the
draft law is constitutional and that
every man drafted into the national
army can be used abroad.
THE situation arising out of this
spirit of opposition to the selective
draft act is serious says the report
"and taken in connection with the un-
rest amongst the civilian population
growing out of commercial and in
dustrial conditions, stimulated in some
cases doubtless by pro-German SYM
pathizers and propagandists, places
our country in a situation of extreme
peril at a time when all should be
united in a common cause.
Draft Act Constitutional
1T is the view of the committee
that the draft act is neither violative
of American tradition nor of the con-
stitution, and entertaining this view
the committee feels justified in say
ing that there is no necessity for such
Legislation as that proposed either on
the ground of expediency or necessity.
The psychological effect of calling
in question an act, the principles of
which it seems to the committee have
been sustained by the courts of the
country, is bad, and the tendency of
it is to impair the military efficiency
of the men who are already in the
service and of those who may be call
ed to serve in this time of need"
