COLOR To STRIFE.
IN TEUTON LANDS

NEW YORK, April 3D. Compiled by
the Associated Press from European
cables during the day.)--A pail of si-
lence has fallen over the Central En-
pires today, serving to accentuate re-
ports of grave internal troubles. Des-
rite assurance given by the Berlin
press that the strike which recently
involved at least three hundred thous-
and workmen. has ended, there is evil
dence that the agitation there is con-
tinuing.
The Austria Hungarian situation is
even more obscured than conditins in
German. Since the circulation of per-
slstent reports that Premier Tisza, the
formost exponent in the Dual Mon
archy of the German idea, had resigned,
ali information concerning conditions
in Budapest and Vienna, as we'll as
throughout all Austria-Hungary, has
been suppressed. One thong, however,
that seems certain is that socialists
and radicals, drawn closer together by
the trend of events, are using infam-
niatory language with an impunity in
conceivable during the early days of
the war
Meanwhile the revolutionary spirit is
rampant throughout all of Europe, q
sensational demonstration in Sweden
being reported today. The food situa-
ton was ostensibly the cause of the
gathering of multitude of workers at
Stockholm, but the fact that unrebuked
shouts for establishment of republic
and the word revolution" was freely
used, gives serious aspect to the gath
cring. More serious outbreaks are ex-
pected on May 1st

WILL TEST MOTOR
PUMP ON TUESDAY

The final test of the new motor
pumping engine that has been install
ed by the Americas fire department,
will occur tomorrow when g. represent
ative of the Southeastern Underwrit-
ers' association will arrive in this city
from Atlanta to witness the demonstra-
ton.
The pump must throw 900 gallons of
water per minute for three successive
hours in order to pass the requirements
of the Southeastern Underwriters as
sociation, which urged the City council
of Americas to purchase the pump as
one of the improvements which are to
effect a decrease in the fire Insurance
premiums in this city. The machine
cost $500.
The motor pump will be taken to the
city pumping station and for three
hours the machine will be incontinu-
us operation, gauging tests being made
every minutes at the nozzle and the
suction pipe.
Pumping 900 gallons of water per
minute, total of 1872 600 gallons will
be thrown and in order that this enor-
nous amount of water may not be
wasted, the suction pipe from the APP
paratus will be lowered into one of
the big reservoirs and the stream from
the nozzel will be thrown back into
the reservoir. Thus the operation of
the pump can be satisfactorily observ-
ed without waste of water.
If the test is successful. the motor
pump will be formally accepted by the
city council and placed at the disposal
Of the firemen.

having at least one diversion from war
in the series Of street meetings being
conducted in the interest of suffrage.

are mainly democratic in their faith,
assert that the speakers now, address
ing street audiences every night are
sent out by the suffrage organization
of Mrs. August Belmont, and that the
latter is strictly republican and anti

attracting large crowds, for the man

Tho question of the right OF a board
|of supervisors to lay the maximum
levy for district and county road taxes
without first submitting tho proposi-
zion to tho vote Of the taxpayers az
fected, now rests with the Supreme
Court OF Appeals. by virtue OF a writ
Iof error and suDersedeas granted yes
1terday by that tribunal to Edward r.
Turnbull, Jr, and ]. w. Upchurch, who
FAILED to obtain anything but Il par
tial relief from such Il levy in the
Circuit Court Of Brunswick County
Rather pointed criticism Is lcvelcd
at the trial Judge by the petitioners
for his judgment. holding that they
should be relieved of only S cents of
total levy Of SIS cents made by the
BOARD on every 500 of real and per-
sonal property. In referring to the
courts opinion. the petitioners sum up
|their argument In the following para
graph:
In other words. the Judge OF tho
circuit Court constituted himself tho
tax-levying authority of the County of
brunswick and undertook and did lay
a levy that the Board Of Supervisors
Of the country should have levied" Ac-
cordins to Turnhull and Upchurch, the
Judge had no alternative but to declare
The levy null and void. in view of the
fact that 1t was laid without the re-
corded consent of Il majority Of the
voters.
The court refused a writ OF error to
r. Louis Moschetti and Annie l.. AL
baHo, of Richmond. who lost in the
