kLAGENFURT, Austria, June "a
! Along the center of the beautiful val
ley in which this old capital of Carin-
thia lies, runs the demarkation line
separating zone A and zone B of the
Austro-South Slav plebiscite region.
It's population of some 125.000 are still
waiting to know to what government
they shall belong, whether they are
to be part of Austria or subjects OF
| the kingdom of the Serbs. Croats and
Slovenes.
The treaty of st. Germain provides
that within three months of the final
ratification of peace the ballot shall
be held, and it is believed here that
the plebiscite will. take place in Au-
gust.
Meanwhile, Jugoslav troops. who
moved north last May. hold the south
side of the demarkation line between
the two zones as tightly as a war
time frontier. They stand guard with
only exceptional cases can the line be
passed by the inhabitants of the
valley.
Naturalized American. Slain.
Several persons have been killed by
Serb guards. One was the naturallZed
American citizen Ernest Jaklitsch of
Jackson Kan, shot dead. the Aus

authorities say he was a notorious
Smuggler.
Fifteen-year-old Betty Eide, shot by
| a South Slav guard while crossing the
! little stream that indicates the from
| tier, was buried with great ceremony
| by the city of Klagenfurt.
Citizens of the villages and towns
along the-zone have petitioned the
vienna government to seek relief
! through the entente from the alleged
! oppression of the Jugoslav soldiery
and authorities. The following is an
| extract from a letter addressed to the
| correspondent of the Associated
Press reciting the killings mentioned
| and certain other specific attacks on
| citizens:
| From the vicinity of Lavamund
| and Ruden are recently reported nu-
| merous cases of violation of girls and
women by Serbian soldiers. The
| peaceful population of voting district
| A is constantly exposed to all kinds
| of vexations. Crimes of every de-
scription are committed daily and
those who live near the frontier are
risking their lives every hour.
Hard to Establish Facts.
IT is difficult even by personal in
! yestigation, just concluded, to eStab-

| made by the Austrian authorities. but
| that the inhabitants of the zones are
| having a rough time of it is easily
| apparent The Jugoslav occupation
of the whole of zone on the south,
| with the rigidly closed frontier, works
| great hardship.
Passing east and west through the
fertile basin of Klagenfurt, and
bisecting laterally Lake Worther on
whose eastern tip the city lies, it cuts
farms in two. often separating farm
house from its fields, leaving others
with their woodland on the other
side, and as the Jugoslav authorities
grant permits to pass only in certain
cases, much hardship has resulted.

VIENNA. Austria, June 24.-The
Austrian state as constituted by the
treaty of st. Germain is already tend
ing to go to pieces. 1t IS lnconereh'
and centrifugal. 1t has no natlonal
sentiment Vienna stands chleny 1or
Vienna, and the feeling of the prov
inces is equally regional. 1t is an open
question whether the country can
hold together even during the next
few months until some solution van
be found for this unnatural state
The province of Vora-5erg wants
to Join Switzerland. The provinces
ioin Bavaria All the provinces open
ly defy the authority OF vienna;
Vienna has adopted summer Tune,
but the people of Linz and Salsours
refuse to set their clocks forWard.
Innsbruck is arranging scheme with
Ravaria by which German marks Will
pass current in the Austrian province.
The provinces want regional auton-
omy, but Vienna refuses to concede IL.
Provinces Call Vienna "Red."
The provinces accuse Vienna of beng
"red" and say that the soclahsts are
responsible for all the country liis.
Vienna calls the provinces reacuon-
ary. The provinces say that the pres
ent government is incompetent, eX-
travagant and chaotic. Vienna says
the provinces are disloyal. The prov
inces say that Vienna has hlled the
ranks OF the army with reds The
allies brought pressure to bear on the
government to make the army more
representative, but the provinces say
that Vienna merely sent red soldiers
into the provinces in civilian clothes
to re-enliSt and that these alone were
found fit" by the medical examiners
Food is the greatest question at Is
sue between Vienna and the prov
inces. Vienna claims that the peas
ants are Withholding food and the
peasants reply that they have no food
for red Vienna" With the mis-
guided idea of keeping prices down.
the government has set the price of
wheat to the farmers at $40 ton,
when for American wheat the same
government is paying $3.50 ton The
result has been that the farmers have
purposely restricted production.
Religion, Too. Interferes.
Moreover, Vienna has no goods to
exchange for the farmers food sup
plies. The farmers want goods and
not deprecated crowns If the farm
ers supplied only the provincial towns
these would have enough to eat, hut
Nienna's ravenous belly keeps draw
ing on the whole country, with the re-
suit that all the communities go more
or less hungry.
Catholic. Vienna is socialist" that
is to say. in the country peoples opin-
ion. irreligious. If the fall elections
were to reduce the socialist vote and
place the government in the hands
of the Christian socials it seems not
unlikely that this might do much to
reconcile the country to the capital.
At present their relations are so
strained that it is entirely possible
that one or more of the provinces
will try to break away despite the
pronouncements of the peace treaty.

Maryland's Neglect to Enforce
Prohibition Deemed ImmateriaL

Though the aid of state and munie,.
pal authorities in enforcing the fed
eral prohibition laws is sought by
United States agents wherever il =.
obtainable. no grave concern is felt
in Washington over the announce
ment of Attorney General Arms troIle
OF Maryland, that the police of the
city of Baltimore cannot be called or
to assist in making arrests or raids
following violation of the prohibit if5n
laws.
Assistant Prohibition Commissioner
Gaylord said the federal government
would continue to enforce the Voj-
stead law in Maryland as heretofere
and that he did not believe Mary
lands example would have much ef-
feet on the governments ability &c
enforce the law. Though aid from
state officers is always welcomed. he
added in some localities it has beer
so seldom obtainable that a legal
opinion on the question would make
little difference.
Other Treasury Department Officials
were of much the same opinion, and
although wishing to avoid any con
troversy with state officials they
pointed out that if a city policeman
saw a man robbing a mail box the
culprit would hardly be allowed TO
proceed merely because he was vip-
lating federal and not state law

The fact that William Green, Sec

issue up to Green. who is the paid

JUDGE WHO TRIED

FOR RE0PENINC
By John Nicholas Beffel, Staff Cor
reSnOndent. The Federated prcvS

10y oonH NICuOIdS DtHtl, Olal SOi-
respondent. The Federated Press.
Written at San Francisco.-The
plea of Judge Franklin A. Friggin for
a new trial for Tom Mooney, ignored
by Governor William d. Stephens, is
a crying indictment of the whole po-
litical' system of California. 1t was
in Judge Griffin's court that Mooney
was tried for the murder of one Of
the nine persons killed by the Pre-
paredness Day bomb in 1916, and by
Judge Griffin he was condemned to
death.
After the conviction, the letters
written by F. c. Oxman, "the honest
away, turned up. They revealed that
his mother, both Of GRANVILLE, Ill.,, to
to corroboratc his own testimony.
When the Oxman letters were made
public, Judge Griffin wrote to Attor-
ney General Webb advocating a re-
trial for Mooney. Webb presented a
brief to the Supreme Court present
ing that plea. The Supreme Court
decided it was mot a federal case"
Then Judge Griffin wrote Governor
Stephens at length. He said !:
Mooney stands condemned to death
upon evidence concerning the truth of
which, to say the least, there has
arisen a very grave doubt. Circum-
stances have come to light which seri-
ously reflect upon the credibility of
three Of the four witnesses which link
him with the Preparedness Day crime
and which shake the very foundation
Of the case
1T was my judgment that Mooney
should receive q new trial on the Ok
man letters alone. On examination
Of the record the attorney general
concurred, and stipulated in open
court that the case should be re-
versed. The Supreme Court held,
however, that it was without power
to act upon such u stipulation in a
criminal case"
