$1.50 A YEAH ABBEVILLE, S. C., WEDNESDAY, JULY 29. 1914. ESTABLISHED 1844 ' ENGLAND PROPOSES JOINT MEDIATION THE ALLIED POWERS USING EVERY EFFORT TO PRE VENT WAR GERMANY IS VERY INDIFFERENT Will Not Offer Advice To Ausria As To Course To Pursue in TL- 1 a ill caiciicu f? cu \ i London, July 27.?An engagement between Austrians and Servians is reported to have occured on the Dan ube, but no details are available and it is not believed to have been of im portance. Austria has not yet open ed her military operations so far as can be learned. A Meanwhile, diplomacy is proceed ing along two separate lines, to avert the war if possible. First, Sir Edward Grey, the British secretary of state for foreign affairs, has proposed to the powers for joint mediation, | which, it is said France and Italy al ready have accepted. Germany has not yet replied and her acceptance is considered as doubtful. Sir Edward Grey explained in the House of Commons his idea, which was that Great Britain, France, Ger many and Italy, cooperate in an en deavor to arrange the dispute be tween Austria and Servia on a bas is of Servia's reply to Austria's ulti matum. Should the British foreign secretary's efforts to avert war fail, it is expected that by some means he will endeavor to avert complications by confining the hostilities to Austria and Servia. Russia Holds Key. The second line of endeavor, from which even more is hoped for tonight is taking place at St. Petersburg be tween the Russian minister of foreign affairs and the Austrian ambassador. It is understood that M. Sazonoff is making a strenuous effort to bring about a direct understanding and that a solution of these lines would be more agreeable to Germany than Great Britain's conference propos als. The Russian emperor has postponed his intended visit to Finland in or der to be in the capital during the cri sis. It is said that Russia is urging Servia to give Austria the fullest possible satisfaction. An extremely warlike spirit pre vails in Vienna, where the evening pa pers declare the Servians ase only making evasions and tnat therefore, it is impossible for the Austrian government to retreat. Further, they hint that even should Servia accept the Austrian ultimatum uncondition ally and offer to pay the cost of the Austrian mobilization, Austria now would be compelled to ask for new guarantees. Germany Indifferent. Berlin, July 27.?Important confer ences were held at Potsdam late to day between the Ge.*man emperor, the imperial chancellor, Dr. von Be "thmann-HolIweg, and the strategic heads of the army and the navy, tc determine definitely the German pol icy in the "crisis. The British and French ambassa dors, Sir n;awara uoscnen ana .. les Cambon, called on the minister of foreign affairs, Herr Von Jagow, with communications from their gov ernments. Authentic information has been re ceived in Berlin that Russia, though 4 not mobilizing her army; is taking certain precautionary military meas ures. ; Runs on savings banks by the small depositors in various parts of Germa ny were the outstanding features of the day, which despite the first blood shed in the Austro-Servian conflict, registered a slight but distinct in crease in optimism regarding the sit uation. The British ambassador made no concrete proposals. It is understood he told the German foreign minister that Great Britain's object was not to intervene in the Austro-Servian con troversy. but sought a basis on which Great Britain, France and Germany, by action at St. Petersburg and Vi-X enna could prevent the spread of the conflict. The French ambassador proposed that Germany use her influence at Vienna in favor of moderation. He was informed that he was willing to /et the other powers try, but as Aus tria's ally she could not interfere with Austria's freedom of action. Troops are Concentrating. The official announcement of Russia that no mobilization of her army had been ordered was supplemented by trustworthy information from War saw that among the precautionary military measures taken were the withdrawal of troops in Poland from the immediate frontiers of Germany and Austria for cencentration in the interior; the recall of the Russian troops from their summer camps and the cancelling of leave of absence of all officers. The border is watched by semi-mil itary forces attached to the treasury department known as the frontier guards. The significant announcement was issued from.Potsdem*tonight that the Crown Prince had abandoned his in tention of returning" to Berlin and the Emperor plans to proceed to Wilhelm shohe in a few days on his customary summer visit.

T DIDN'T CLOSE ALL THE CLUBS Governor's Order Doesn't Appear To Have Readied Some In Columbia Columbia, July 27.?A mild sensa tion was produced in the Richland county court house tonight when Dr. M. M. Rice candidate for council, read an affidavit in which it was charged that Mayor Griffith of Columbia had promised to let Albert P. Hiller's club remain on Main street if "Hiller should support in a political way Mr. P. H. Lesesne. candidate for the. office of city co^icilman." According to the affidavit, "Hiller could continue to operate the social club of which he is a manager for the balance of this year in the same place where he is now operating it on Main street."

L. Dulaney Are Erroneous and Without Foundation Washington, July 27.?Confirmation of the intention of the Southern Rail way to build immediately at Charles ton, S.C., an independent coal ter minal-, largely for Panama canal traf fic, was given today by President Fair, fax Harrison before the special senate committee investigating the coal rate situation in the south. Mr. Harrison told at length of the financial affairs of his road, particur larly of its distress in 1908.\ His cross examination tomorrow on the finan cial relations between the road and its directors probably will conclude the hearings until next December. President Harrison said Engineers were now at work preparing plans for the construction of a terminal to ac commodate the loading of one ^hip at a time at Charleston, and that it would take from nine months to a year to complete the work^ He said he had desired to arrange to use the pro posed Clinchfield road terminals at Charleston, but after months of con sideration he had found in May or June last that this was impossible be cause of objections of shippers. Costs Immense Sam. Mr. Harrison estimated that it would cost $11,300,000 to put his road from the Appalachian coal fields to Charleston into proper shape for pro fitable coal transportation and to com plete the terminals at Charleston. He said the charges to the shipper would be he same as that charged by the Norfalk & Western from the Po cahontas field, although the expense of the traffic to his road would be greater than over the rival ine. During his testimony Mr. Harrison denied emphatically that his road was controlled by the so-called "trust" coal interests, by other railroads con trolled by these interests, or by Wall street. He expressed the opinion that B. L. Dulaney, independent coal opera tor of Bristol, Tenn., who charged in his testimony bad faith on the part of the Southern toward coal operators along its line, was suffering from a "delusion of persecution." President Harrison, referring to Mr. Dulaney, said: "I believe Mr. Dulaney has a deep seated hatred for one or two men who have succeeded in the Virginia and Southwestern and Appalachian coal fields where he failed. Being unable to reach these two men he attacked the Southern Railway, as a railroad in these days is always a target for at tack. * Resents Charges. "I resent with every fibre of my be ing the charges of bad faith and chi chancery brought about the organi zation of the Southern, and I think I am supported therein by that great mass of people who have done busi ness with us in the south. ' I feel a further resentment at the charge that the direction of the policy of the Southern Railway has been in outside hands and that the management has been for any other interest than that of the south. The ambition and policy of the Southern has been to tnloa a part in the regeneration of the south and in that policy its officers and man agement all along has shaped its course.' Refers *o Growth. President Harrison gave a histori cal description of the growth of the Southern, emphasizing particularly 1 Howth, 2,500 rifles and 160,000 rounds of ammunition were landed under the the "brilliant campaign of railroad ac quisition" carried on by the late Pres ident Spencer. President Harrison was questioned 1 regarding the Southern's purch i3e of ' the Virginia & Southwestern railway, i which Dulaney charged was effected at an unnecessarily high figure. "I asked Mr. Spencer why he paid 1 talion of Scottish borderers came on $200 a share for the Virginia and Southwestern," testified Mr. Harrison, "and he said he had to get it?that there was competition for it and he felt the Southern needed it to get to the Appalachian field." Mr. Harrison characterized as "ab solutely untnue," the charge made by Dulaney that the Pennsylvania rail road influenced the affairs of the | Southern. He declared his oampany had favored the development of hydro 1 electric power, saying it developed inrinotrioc! anil r?nillri ,hrin?T "clorV . enough for all." In Hard Luck. Mr. Harrison said the sudden death ' of President -Spencer left the company with one of the severest difficulties a . railway ever faced. i "In 1908 we came as near disaster as a railroad can come," added Mr. Harrison. "A railroad with income can borrow, hut our income fell off. I spent the time in New York trying to borrow money and President Finley spent his time on the road to cut off expenses." Mr. Harrison read several letters he wrote to President Finley at the time One told of borrowing $2,000,000 from three New York banks for three months at 10 per cent. Mr. Harrison suggested to the president that all construction be stopped and the caJi box closed down. He spoke of J. Pier to advance enough money to tide over the Southern. CATHOLICISM IS PUT UNDER BAN Decree Limiting Their Operations Is Enforced in Mexican Principality (By Associated Press.) Tampico, Mex., July 26.?via La redo, Texas, July 27.?A decree lim iting tho scope of the Roman Catho lic church on the ground of "public health, morality and Justice" was is sued today by Antonio I. Villareal, governor and military commander. He said: "During the life of the nation, the church has been a pernicious factor in disruption and discord and has en tirely forgotten its spiritual mission." TVia mnot drastir> .feature thp rip cree is the prohibition of confession. Villareal gives as his reasan for this the charge that the confessionl and the sacristy in Mexico htive become a menace to morality. The decree issued in Monterey, makes the following orders for gov ment of Catholic Schools and churches: 1. All foreign Catholic priests and jesuits of whatever nationality will be expelled from the State of Neuvo Leon. 2.

He said that of th< 20,000 natives of the dual monarchy ii that city, more than 1,000 are subjec to call for war." Met All Obligations. "We were able in 1909 to refum $31,000,000 development bonds anc then we were over the hill," explains President Harrison. "But every cent of this was to met* obligations incurred during the ac quisition period, and so President Fin ley had not a cent of new capital co dc things he desired. He did get $31,000,' 000 new money from surplus inooim whir.il he put into the property in th< forra of improvements. But he coulc not make great improvements like giving adequate terms to the south How often have I heard him wish foi money to do this. He did start to finish some termin als for the collection of railroads Pre0. ident Spencer had bought was fit to gc into a museum. Until recent years the railroads of the south have been horribly inadequate because the traf fic would not support improvements Mr. Finley was not able to do much but he started out to iron out his col lection of railroads by building ter minal connections. As soon as h( died I went out and borrowed ten million dollars on the credit, he liac made for the Southern to do some ol the things he had so wanted to do. II President Spencer is to be knosvn as the maker of the Southern map, Pres ident Finley is to be known as the builder of its credit an I organiza tion."
