SITUMIS GRAVE AUSTRO-HUNGARY AND SERVIA MAY CAUSE TROUBLE. VILLA’S AGENTS BUYING ARMS News Reaches El Paso That Rebel General is Entrenching Himself in Chihuahua. Uordcn. — European diplomacy Is faced with a situation of extreme gravity in the controversy between Austria and Servia. Unless it is bandied with great delicacy it is not unlikely that others besides these two powers will become invohed in war. An Austro-Hungarian ultima tum to Servia. couched in a tone of almost unprecedented severity aud fastening on the Servian government and people responsibility for the as sassinations of Archduke Francis Fer dinand and his wife at Sarayevo, has been presented to Belgrade. It de mands satisfaction at once. The almost universal opinion in the European capitals is that the Servian government c-annot comply with such humiliating terms as are set forth in the ultimatum. since compliance would be taniauinount to an admis sion of Servia's guilt. The Russian government already is seeking an ex tension of time for Servia. Montenegro Ready. The efforts of European diplomacy, should the powers fail to avert the threatened war, will be devoted to lo calizing it. Montenegro has indicated its readiness to support Servia in the event of an Austrian attack. This cer tainly would plunge the whole of the Balkans into hostilities. Austria is counting on the neutrality of its al lies, Germany and Italy, but with the possibility of Russian intervention on behalf' of Servia, Austra would run great risks of risings among its own great Slav population. - A fact much commented upon by the European newspapers is that Aus tria has chosen a moment for the is suing of its ultimatum when Presi dent Poincare is absent from France and two of the Balkan premiers are abroad. The Servian government is with holding publication of the text of the ultimatum in Belgrade. El Paso, Tex.—Contrary to official Washington advices that the adminis tration was meeting with success in pacifying different factions among the constitutionalists and that peace was near in Mexico, it was reported here on good authority that General Villa's agents were buying large quan tities of arms at Chicago and St Louis. Agents of the national consti tutionalist government declared that none of the purchases had been made by General Carranza. Coincident with this came further news that Villa was entrenching him self in his Chihuahua stronghold. Ar rivals from Santa Rosalia, Torreon Chihuahua City and -other points said that tose towns were placarded with appeals for enlistment in the army of the north. Two pesos a day was of fered as pay, making a scarcity of la bor in mines and on ranches. Opinions of officials and observer. here still differed as to whether Villa would move south to Mexico City or remain in the north. The former be lief was strengthened by the report that one of Villa's brigades, that com manded by General Raoul Madero departed from Chihuahua for the south, its destination not being given. Villa returned to Chihuahua City. Defense Innocently Trapped. Paris.—The defense In the trial of Mine. Caillaux for the murder of Gas ton Calmette, editor of the Figaro, was caught in a trap innocently set by Mme. Guevdan, once the wife of the prisoner's husband. The principal argument of Maitre I.abori. counsel for Mine. Caillaux, lias been that his client was driven to shoot G. Calmette through fear that two letters of which she was un aware photographic reproductions ex isted. would be published by G. Cal mette. and the secrets of her inner life thereby made public. Women as Street Car Conductors. St. Joseph. Mo.—Women will act as street car conductors during one day next October on all lines in this city as the result of an arrangement made by the street rai'way management and representatives of women’s clubs. All money collected in excess of the reg ular daily receipts will be given to lo cal charities. Tenth New Orleans Man Has Plague. New Orleans. La.—W’illiani Ernst, employed in a saloon in almost the center of the bubonic plague infecied district, was the tenth person to ha attached by the disease. Model Farm on Zone. New York.—James G. Craig, an en gineer of the Panama canal, who re turned to Colon, after a vacation in this city, told of a model farm in the canal zone, where laborers who have been injured while at work for the government are cared for. Austria Demands that Servia Behave. Vienna.—Austria-Hungary has pre sented a note to Servia. containing de mands for the suppression of the pan Servian movement and the punish ment of the death of Ferdinand. Fumigate a Pest Steamer New Orleans, La.—Four snakes, eighteen tarantulas, seventy rats, enough roaches to almost fill a barrel and “bedbugs" galore formed part of the cargo of a freight vessel sailing tropical seas which was fumigated here recently. Hindus Sail Frcm Vancouver. Vancouver, B. C.—The Japanese steamer Komagata with her load of Hindus, who resisted the Canadian government's order of deportation for three months, left for the orient. NEBRASKA IN BRIEF. Thirty-five acres of land on the Helm farm, Superior, yielded eighty bushels of oats an acre. The date of Harvard's fall festival has been changed from August 12 and 13 to August 19 and 20. Claude Aubrey, who broke jail ml Grundy, la., was arrested in Auburn by Deputy Sheriff Broady.

According to the report of the street railway company} filed with the city clerk, the gross receipts of the Omaha lines for the three months ending June 30 were *198,409.40. From reports received and compiled by ,T. R. Dnucan. secretary of the Ne braska state horticultural society, it appears the prospects for apples are not as good as they were earlier in the season. Carl Lennon Hebron was injured when his team ran away after one of the horses fell on a bridge. He was thrown into the river and one arm was broken. He was able to make his way to a doctor. » John Gillespie was returned front Superior to Hastings on a charge of passing a worthless check.

WANT LEGISLATION *v —-— SCHOOL COMMISSION MAKES RECOMMENDATIONS. • • - ME SCHOOLS FROM POLITICS Removal of the Major Educational In stitutions From Political Field Is Planned. ■Lincoln, Neb. — Removal of the state superintendent's office and the major educational positions from the field 6f politics is contemplated in rec ommendations to be made to the 1915 lawmakers by the state school law revision commission. In its report the commission will give its reasons why submission and adoption of such an amendment would work untold benefits to Nebraska's school system. Further than this the commission will recommend a more equal distri bution of the school apportionment moneys, easier methods for consolida tion of rural schools, more feasible plans for maintaining rural high schools, elimination of third grade certificates to eighth grade graduates, ] and passage of laws enabling school j treasurers to draw interest money on j district deposits. Drs. Howard, Wolfe, Luckey and ! Caldwell of the state university were | named on a committee to assi~t the j commission in determining non-parti san methods for election of school sys tem heads. The commitUee will re- ! port at a later session to be held by j the hndv Tax Law Proving Its Value. Lincoln. Xeb.—Popularity of the corporation tax bill passed by the 1913 session at Governor Morehead's request and with assistance of the democratic house, advanced several notches when the Chicago. St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha Railroad com pany came in with a $2,500 cheek and the Omaha & Council Bluffs Street Railway company and affiliated prop erties came in with a check for $3.3St>. Under the old law the companies would have paid $G75. The total in favor of the new law therefore is $5,005. The Standard Oil company came in also with a $400 check, whereas under the former statute its fee would have been nnot to exceed $125, according to clerks in the offue of the secretary of state. Listed among the names of the af filiated properties of the Omaha street car system are the Metropolitan Cable company, the Omaha Cable Tramway company and other concerns whose names are not known to many pres ent-day residents of the metropolis. Knox County Decreases. Lincoln, Xeb.—Knox county has re ported a decrease of assessed values tliis year. A report filed with the state board of assessment shows the total assessed value of all property in the county has decreased from $1,006,543 to $996,500. The county re ports a decrease in the value of lands although 14,000 acres of accessabie lands were added to the assessment roll this year. The counties of Fur nas. Gage. Garden and Knelt have not yet reported. In Gage county the de lay is due principally to the attempt of the county board to change the valuation of horses and other live stock on a basis of the age of ths animals. It is almost impossible for the assessor to figure out the result which the board desired to reach. Will Delay Valuation. Lincoln, Xeb.—Officials of the en gineering department of the state rail way commission are not likely to be seen on the streets of Omaha and nearby cities and villages within the near future, making a valuation of the property of the Omaha & Council Bluffs Street Railway Co. For the state supreme court, which has had under consideration the question of the railway commission's right to compel such a valuation did not rule on the matter previous to summer adjournment. That means that the opinion will be stayed until fall and that after it Is rendered there will be the customary legal delays for filing of motions for rehearing and other turns in the litigation. No Action Taken. The State Railway commission has decided to take no action in the agi tation by Omaha parties locking to a physical valuation of the South Omaha stock yards until after the hog service rate hearing has been before the board. The commission wrote to the parties who had been looking up the matter stating that unless a com plaint was entered the matter would go over until after the hog service hearing was completed. Can Use the General Fund. Lincoln, Xeb.—A solution has at last been found by tlr5 State B .ard of Control of the problem of making np deficits in the maintenance funds. Attorney General Martin has given cut an opinion in which he says that it is withift the power of the board to use $5.0r.0 of its general appropria tion for the purrose of making up the deficit in the maintenance fund for the gi Is' industrial school. This prin ciple will aprly equally well to de ficits occurring in the maintenance funds of the other state institutions. Charged With Burglary. Lincoln. Xeb.—Claud Aubry. charg ed with burglarizing the home of Horace Boise in Grundy county. Ta„ when the owner was visiting in Cali fornia. was ar~e='ed at Auburn and will be taken back to IoWa on an ex tradition warrant issued by Governor Mori head. Aubry was in Jail ir.

The unani mous verdict of the visiting editors is heartily in keeping with the brief ex pression of the appreciation they all feej for the courtesies which Omaha through the bureau of publicity has always shown the visiting scribes who, from one end of the state to the ' other, are now anticipating with much enthusiasm the next regular meeting of the association which will be held in Omaha.” -——_ < McDermctt Resigns His Seat. Washington.—R“presentative James T. McDermott of Illinois has offered his resignation to take effect immed iately. McDermott is under charges in connection with the lobby investi gation.
