Gave Abba q Shut-Out.

Leon retrieved their former de-
feat at the hands of Abba ball team
by treating the visitors to a shut-out
at Axes ball park last Sunday, the
score being to in favor of Leon.
Samples pitched a great game for
Leon, and all the Leon ball players
hit the Abba pitcher almost every
time they came to bat. A big crowd
attended the game, and some of the
Abba sports went home broke.

 PARIS, Sept. 2.-The note transmit ting the allied reply to the observa- tions of tue Austrian delegation on the conditions of peace, addressed to Karl Renner and signed by M Ciemea- ceau, as president of the council, fol- lows:
 Drafts of the covering letter: CD The allied and associated powers have given most careful consideration to the observations of the Austrian delegation on the draft treaty of peace. The reply or the Austrian delegation objects to the draft treaty on the grounds that in view of the dissolution of the Austro- Hungarian monarchy, Austria ought not to be treated as an enemy state at all and that, in consequence she ought not to be made in any spe- cial way inheritor of responsibilities In regard to reparation, to which ;he Austro Hungarian monarchy undoubt-

able by their testimony and recom- mendation.
 We have reason to believe that just as in hearings and investigations con- ducted in the past, in the present con- test between this giant monopoly and the public, witnesses are in some cases being coerced and in other cases their expenses are being paid to offer testi- money in favor of the packers. This procedure we denounce as an intoler- able offense, only made necessary by an unrighteous cause. The issue IS clearly one of economic liberty. Meat and meat products form large pro- portion of the present high cost of living and until the entrenched monop- oly which now dominates these fundamental food supplies is rigIdly controlled by the strong arm of the federal government, we see but little hope for either consumer or producer. If in any way the members of this committee can be of service to you in your consideration of this legislation, you have but to command us.

MOTHER WITNESS LOSES SELF IN
 GRIEF ON STAND.
Republican A. p. Leased wlrel

DOUGLAS. Sept. Mrs. Nancy Thomas, of Bonneterre, Mo, occupied the stand as witness for the state during the entire session of the local justice court this afternoon when hear ing of evidence was resumed in the joint preliminary hearing of 200 Doug las and Bisbee men charged with kid naping as the result of their alleged participation in the deportations that ended the I. W. w. strike in the Warren copper mining district two years ago.
 Mrs. Thomas was a resident of Bak- erville, a mining town near Bisbee, at the time of the deprtations and one of her sons, Henry, was one of the HOO men deported on July F, 1917 by 1,400 citizens deputies under the leadership of Sheriff Harry c. Wheeler. Later, Henry Thomas was killed while serving in France.
 Grief over the death of her son ap- peared to have affected the memory of Mrs. Thomas for, of 66 defendants whom she testified to having seen talk ing part in the deportations, she could identify but four. Many men whom she claimed to have known for five o. six years, Mrs. Thomas did not recog- nize when confronted by them. During cross examination Mrs. Thomas tes- timony was almost completely broken down, and, at the conclusion of her questioning. her testimony had been changed and contradicted many times that redirect examination was waived by the county attorney and the witness excused. At one time during her testi- mony, Mrs. Thomas arose dramatically and pointing to four Texas and Arizona attorneys who were appearing for the defendants, cried:
 And you were all there too to drive my boy away. I'll never forget your faces.'

 for several days that Mexican "snipers" have fired at patrolling airplanes.
 Captain McNabb and Lieutenant Johnson reported fully on the attack to Colonel Buck. but neither would make a statement to the press early tonight McNabb's wound is not serious His home, according to officials here, IS III Bedford, Ind.
 Both aviators belonged to B, flight. Eighth earo squadron, Captain McNabb commanding the flight. The unit was transferred to Laredo from Kelly Field, San Antonio, several weeks ago, when other units were sent to various army posts along the border for patrol duty. The attack on the ayiators took place shortly after a. m, about Is miles from Laredo, near the mouth of the Santa Isabel creek while the airplane was flying flow, hugging the American side of the Rio Grande.
 Attack Without Warning
 There was no warning from the att taclxers who appeared suddenly on the Mexican bank and fired several volleys at the plane before it could get out of range. According to first reports the a,viators estimated there were 20 men in the attacking group.
 Landing immediately in a field on the Texas side. Captain McNabb was taken to a farm house and aid was summoned from Fort Mcintosh hos pital 8 physician making the trip with surgical supplies in an airplane. When it was found McNabb's wound was not serious, he was removed to the post hospital.
 Unconfirned reports tonight that Mexican soldiers may have participated In the attack, coupled with Colonel Bucks statement that an outpost of Caranza soldiers, had been stationed at the point where the shooting took place, caused Laredo to throb with excitement in expectation of some action by the American forces though there was no indication that any was forthcoming.

ediy would be liable should it sti exhist.
 "As these observations point to a fundamental nisconception of the responsibilities of the people of Austria, the allied and associ- ated powers feel it necessary to state as briefly as may be the principles which they consider must be applied to the settlement of the late war so far as Austria is concerned. The people of Aus tria, togethe r%~ith their neighbors, the people of Hungary, bear in , peculiar degree responsibility for the caiamaties which have befal- len Europe during the last five years.
 "The war was precipitated by an ultimatYm presented to Serbia by the government at Vienna and re- quiring acceptance within AS hours of a se"ies of demands which amountei to the destruction of a neighborinJ sovereign state- The royal government of Serbia &C., cepted within the prescribed time all the demands except those which involved the virtual surrender of its independence.

 day when Senator Kenyon, republican, of Iowa, author of the principal bill at issue, introduced two letters for the record. One was from J. G. Miller of Denver, and asserted that Colorado packers who cIassed themselves as in- dependents in opposing the legislation last week really were connected with the larger companies. Harvey Nick oils, owner of plant at Pueblo, Colo rado, was named as one of those hav- ing connections.
 Henry Veeder, counsel for Swift and company interrupted the proceedings a little later, denied the assertion for all of the packers and introduced Nick oils who also denied it flatly The second letter from J. c. Morrow of Alliance. Nebraska, said that cattlemen from that state who have supported the contentious of the big packers were people who secured special fla vors in marketing of their stock.
 A number of independent packers were heard during the day and Michael Ryan of Cincinnati presented the com mittee with set of resolutions adopted by small packers in that city, ob1ecting to the legislation

 utilities, free from packer control. and for the use of all shippers and pur- chasers of livestock on equal terms; shall assure the distribution to the consumer of the products of livestick on an economical and competitive ba- sis. free from the special privileges now enjoyed by the packers through the uncontrolled use of their refrigerator cars; shall permit the establishment of local agencies wherever desirable, open to all on equal terms, for slaughtering, storing and distributing livestock pro- ducts; prevent the use of the stock yards press to mislead public opinion, and by substituting just federal con- trol for entrenched monopoly, restore confidence to both consumer and pro- ducer. We believe the foregoing principles are incorporated in the Kendrick and Kenyon bills now under consideration by congress.
 Second: We urge the prompt com- pletion by the United States depart ment of agriculture of a national sur vey covering the cost of meat produe- tion, with the establishment, through | the cooperation of the Federal Farm Bureau units, of methods to eliminate | any wastes which may be found to exist. In advocating definite reforms | in the manufacturing and distributing | end of the meat industry, we are pre- pared to use our utmost efforts to put | into operation, promptly and cheerfully, | any improved and practical methods In | meat production from the date of the | birth of the calf to the time of sale for | VTh ho fod FxYt the United States Department of Agri- culture as result of the completion | of the national survey proposed.
 Third; We strongly advocate the | early enactment by congress of legisla- tion which shall place the vast area of uncontrolled grazing lands (still aggre- | gating over two hundred million acres) under an efficient system of federal control, similar to that existing l on the grazing lands within the na- tional forests, thus substituting intelli- l gent use for the present wasteful mis- | use, and greatly increasing the annual meat production upon these great na- tiona1 pastures commonly known as the public range. The bill now before | congress, recently introduced by Sem l ator King of Utah, and generally in- 1 dorsed by the livestock men of the | west, would, we believe, if enacted, put into effect the foregoing princmiples. Immediate action along the above lines will, in our judgment, prove of unquestioned national benefit, and in aiding to put such policies into suc- cessful operation, the livestock pro- dueers will prove by their actions their willingness to serve the nation in this critical, reconstructive period Tn view of the importance of our po- sition being made public, at this criti- cal time we assume our giving pub licity, through the press, to this letter will be agreeable to you.
