Mr. Harrison told vat . lengrth ' of- the financial affairs of his road, particu larly of its distress in 1908. : His cross examination tomorrow on the financial relations between the road and Its di rectors probably - will conclude the hearings until next December. ' President Harrison ' said ffg-ineera were now .at work preparing plans for the construction of a terminal ; to". ac commodate the loading of -one; ship at a time at Charleston and that it would take from nine months to a year to complete the work. He said he had de sired to arrange to use the proposed Clinchfield road terminals at Charles ton, but after months of consideration he had found in May-of June last that this was impossible because' of objec tions of shippers-4 i ; Heavy Cot to Southern. " ' Mr. Harrison estimated that it would cost $11,300,000 to put his road from the Appalachian coal fields to Charles ton into proper shape for prqfltable coal transportation and to complete the terminals at Charleston. ; j . He said the -; charges to thB shipper would be -the Same as that charged by the Norfolk & "Western vfrom the Pca hoiitas field, although the expense, of the trafiic to. his road would be t great er than over the rival tine. During his testimony Mr. Harrison denied emphatically . that his road was Ions of whiskey. George is in jail, his interests or by other railroads 'con trolled by these Interests , or", bjr wall Street. He expressed the opinion that B. Li.

President Harrison, refef ring to -Mr. Dulaney, said: . ; - ' . . "I -believe Mr. Dulaney has a deep- seated hatred for one or two-men who have, -sijp'ceeded in" the-Virginia, and Southwestern and- Appalachian coal f.lds where he failed.. Being unable to reach these men; he attacked the Southern Railway as a railroad in these times i? always. a target' for . attack. "I resent' with every fibre of my being the charges of bad faith and chicanery brought against the organi zation of the Southern, and I think I am supported therein .by that great mass of people who have done busi-; r.ess with us in tne ssoutn. - j. yeei a further resentment at the ; charge that the direction of the policy )f the Southern Railway has: been in outside hands and that the '.management: has been for any other Interests than ,thatn of the "South. The ambition ancL policy of the Southern" has J'been to take part in the regeneration of the outh and on that policy 4ts officers and management all along have; shaped its course." ' i President Harrison contended that the charges. were In the temper-of 'the times, which would listen to any alle gation that a railway1 is beingi.ased for dishonest purposes, . ' "If I bejieved that the stockhoraers had elected directors that used', the Southern Railway to its own disadvan tage. I as president of the railroad would resign," .declared Mr. ''Harrison, emphatically. ' ".:.- '-..r Morean Didn't Interfere -. . ., The late J.

" Charles Steele, a member of the Morgan firm, was a Southern man and ha.-l been the most helpful director the Southern Railway has, said the wit ness. ' " Referring to Elbert H.

Mr. i Harrison read several letters . he wrote to President Finley at the time. One" ,told j 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 cash box closed down. He spoke of J. Pier pent' Mprgan as the first "emergency hospital," and in a later communica tion -told of inducing the Morgan "firm toadvance enough money, to tide oyer the" Southern. .. Pajised Ov the Hill. "We were able in 1909 to refund $31,000,000 development bonds and' then we were over the hill," explained Pres--ident Harrison. '.'But every cent of this was to meet obligations incurred during -, the ac QUlsition" period, and so. President Fin ley had not a cent of ne wcapital to do things he desired. He did get $31, 000,000 new money from surplus in come which he put into the property in the form" of improvements. But he could not make - great improvements like giving-adequate terminals to ' the South. How often I have heard him wish for money to do this! He . did start - to furnish some terminals, but the collection of . roads - President Spencer had bought was fit to gp into a. museum. Until recent years the railroads of the South have been hor ribly Inadequate because the traffic would not support improvements. "Mr. Finley was. not able to do much bjit he Started out to iron out his collections or railroads oy Duua ing terminal connections.

Two Countries is Reported, But is V Thought to be of No ImportanceRussians Fire Across the. German Border. London,. July 27.--An engagement between Austrians and Servians is re-v ported to have occurred on the Danube but no details are' available and it is nof believed to have been of impor-' tance. Austria has not yet opened her' military operations so far as can be learned. ,. Meanwhile diplomacy is- proceeding along two separate lines, to avert the war if possible, .and if, that is , impos sible to localize the .conflict. First, iSr Edward Grey, "the British Secre tary of State for t foreign affairs, has proposed to the powers plan for joint mediation which, ;it Is said, France and Italy already have accepted. Germany has not yet replied and her acceptance is regarded as doubtful. , Sir Edward Grey explained in the House of Commons his idea which was that Great Britain, 'France, Germany and Italy, co-operate in an endeavor to arrange the dispute bet.ween. .Aus tria and Servia, on -.the basis f vBer via's reply to Austria's ultimatum. Should the British foreign secretary's efforts fail to avert war, it is expected, he will endeavor by some means to prevent complications by confining the hostilities ; to Austria, and .Servia. Second Line' of Endeavor. The second line,, of diplomatic en deavor, from which . even ' more is hoped tonight, is taking place at St. Petersburg between the Russian min ister of foreign affairs; Sergius Sazo noff, and the Austrian ambassador.. It is understood that M.' Sazonoft is making a " strenuous effort to bring about a direct understanding and that a solution on these' lines" would be more agreeable to Germany than Great .Britain's conference proposal. The Russian Emperor; has postpon ed his intended ",visit".to; Finland in or der to be in the capital, during the crisis. It is said.Russ.ia is urgingvSer-.yla-to .,gi,ye Austria the fullest pos sible satisfaction. An.extremely war like spirit prevails .in Vienna, where the eveninc oaners declare the 'Ser- vians are" only -making evasions and that therefore - it is impossible ror the Austrian government to retreat. 'Furth er they hint that even should Servia accept the Austrian ultimatum uncon ditionally and offer to pay the cost of Austria's mobilization, Austria now would be compelled to ask for new guarantees. Germans Hold . Conferences. Berlin, July 27.. Important confer ences were held at Potsdam, late to day between, the German Emperor, the Imperial Chancellor, Dr.. Von Beth-mann-Hollweg, and the strategic heads of the army and navy to determine definitely the German policy in the crisis. ; The British and French ambassa dors, Sir Edward Goschen and Jules Cambon, called on the minister of for eign affairs, Herr Von Jagow, with communications from their govern ments. ! , Authentic information has been re ceived in Berlin that Russia though not ; mobilizing her army, is taking certain precautionary military meas ures.; , Runs on savings ..banks by small depositors in various . parts of Ger many were the outstanding features of the day, which despite the first bloodshed in the Austro-Servian con flict, registered a slight but distinct increase in optimism regarding the situation. .. ., 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 Vienna and St. Peters burg, could prevent the. spread, of the conflict. ' , f The French . ambassador proposed that Germany , use her' Influence at Vienna in view of Moderation." He was informed Germany was willing to let the other powers try, , but as Austria's ally she could not interfere with Aus-. tria's freedom of action. Supplementary, Information. The official announcement of Rus sia that mobilization of her army had been; ordered was, supplemented by trustworthy information from Warsaw that among the precautionary military measures taken were the( withdrawal of troops in Poland fromthe immedi ate frontiers of , Germany and Austria for concentration 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 , a semi military force attached to the Treasury Department known as frontier guards. The significant announcement was issued from Potsdam; tonight that the Crown Prin.ee has abandoned - his in tentian of returning to .Berlin and that the Emperor' plans- to proceed to Wll helmshohe in a few.- days on N his cus tomary summer -visit. - 4 Finances Are "Safe.
