Reports from the Austrian border today state that the transport of the eighth and ninth Austrian army corps from Bohemia toward the Servian frontier began Mon day, and, hat there was no other traf fic on the Bohemian railroads, except that of troops trains. The two corps consist of 32 battal ions of infantry, with a large number of quiclc-firing machine guns, six regiments of calvary, two regi merils of field ar tillery, and two regiments of the army service corps. As The Powers See It. LONDON, July 28. The refusal by Grermany and Austria-Hungary to participate in mediation conferrence on the Austro-Servian conflict, reports of the rapid movement of Austro-Hungarian troops and a persistent down ward trend of European stock markets were the outstanding developments of the European situatioan. Getting Ready. Preparations for war proceeded on all sides. Even England's battle squad rons have all been mobilized in readiness for eventualities, and the publication of official news as to their movements has ceased. The first and second bat tle squadrons haye taken on war stores and ready to slip their anchors at a mom ents notice, the destroyer flotillas around the coast have been prepared and armed guards were placed today around all the magazines and depots. Germany's definite dicision against participation in the ambassadorial con ference proposed by Sir Edward Grey, the British foreign secretary, in an effort to maintain peace, is regarded here as tantamount to a declaration of Ger many's determination that Austria Hungary shall have an entirely free hand in chastising Servia unless the Balkan kingdom accedes in full to de mands of the dual monarchy. Servians Leave Capital BELGRADE, July 28. Many Ser- vian families have left the tapital for the Country districts in spite of the ad- Vice ol the authorities while there has been a great exodus of Austrians and Hungarians irom Belgrade and Other parts of Servia. Perfect order prevails in the capl- tal, the police duties having been un- "'dertaken by a corps of volunteers com- P0?,?.. tudents- , t . military preparations are Deing car- Med out with feverish activity.

Na dine Weaver was working in a 10 cent store in Kansas City, Kan., for $4.50 a week when she received a legacy of $1,200 a year ago. She had spent only $25 of her newly acquired riches when Rudolph Bloeser, the handsome floorwalker, learned of her inheritance In a 10-cent store a em-i"P"t t n a safe place." They went to DesMomes, la., Miv., la., Nov., 4 and were married. Two days later he gave her i $20 of her own money and told lier to return to Kansas City, Mo., while he went to bcranton, fa., to look tor a location." He said he would also visit his mother and return in three weeks. The girl went bark to live with her grandmother, but her place ha 1 been filled at the store. A few straggling letters came explaining that good lo cations were scarce. A week before Chritmas a letter came in which Bloeser enclosed her $25 more of her own money and requested that Nadine get a divorce. "Don't ask me any questions, but if you love me do as I ask," he .said. The girl swore out a warrant charg ing wife desertion and Sheriff Lee Hinch brought the husband home from Fort Wadsworth, Tex., and locked him in the Wyandotte County Jail on Christmas night. Two days later in answer to her husband's pleadings, she visited him in jail. He convinced her that he had not meant to desert her at all, that although he had spent three-fourth of the legacy, he would pay it back and that if let out of jail long enough he would find that location ainfl the would live happily ever afterward. y When Bloeser s case was called in court, Nadine refused to prosecute and he was released. They lived to get her just one week, when t lie Hus band left again, taking with him the residue of the $1,750. The "location'' has not been found yet. Nadine asked for a new warrant but Prosecutor Meek refused to issue it for fear that Nadine would again refuse to prosecute. She applied to the free legal aid bureau in Kansas City, Mo., but was told the offense had been committed in Kansas and a warrant could not be used in Mis souri. lhen she went to saving up her small wages to obtain a divorce and now the decree has been granted "I don't want to hear that man name, she said. It s a case ol never again for me. I'm done with the smooth talk and the oily tongues."

SOCIALISTS ALSO ENDORSE IT Democratic Legislature Certain Of Election In The Kail. BOISE, IDAHO, July 28. Idaho lias the distinction f having three prohi bition parlies in the field this year. Whether Republicans, Democrats or Progressives carry the election in November, State-wide prohibition is certain to come either at once through legislative enactment or eventually through constitutional amendment. In any event, whichever way the election goes, the licensed soloon seems oo med. Platform conventions were held by the four plolitu a! parties, including he Socialists, under the terms of the new primary election law. 1 hese onventions were made up of the dele gates trom all the comities three times as many as the number of Leg- slators. They all met on the same lay and all filed their platforms on he dame day with the Secretary of State. Excerps From Platforms. On the liquor issue the Republican onvention indorsed the cause of na- onal prohibition and then said "We hereby declare in favor of State-wide prohibition within the State of Idaho, nad to that end favor the submission to the voters of this State buy the next legislature assembly of a constitutional amendment em bodying that provision, and in the event of the failure of the Republican party to secure the two-thirds vaote necessary to the passage of a resolu tion of submission, we pledge ur membcrs of the Legislature to tho passage of a direct prohibition legise ative enactment." The Progressives. The Progressives inserted this plank. "We declare for State-wide pro- ibition of the liquor traffic to be secured, first by legislative enact ment, and second, by submission to the people for their approval of a constitutional amendment. We pledge ur Senators and Representatives in Congress to work and vote for na tional prohibition." In the Democratic convention there was a hard tight tor silence on tne uestion. There was also a strong sentiment for a municipal unit plank The following was finally adoptedd "We favor the submission to the oters of the State of a constitutional amendment forever prohibiting th manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors therein, and pledge our candi dates to the next Legislature to the submission of such amendment ii 1916." There is this distinction While th Republicans and Progressives arc pledged to the enactment of a law as well as the submission of a constitu - tional amendment, the Democrats are pledged only to the submission of an amendment. For this reason, it is thought here! a strong likelihood of the election of a Democratic Legislature next fall. The "wets" are expected io favor the Democrats, for a Democratic Legisla tore would give them two years longer in which to transact business and more time to prepare to fight the constitu tional amendment.

ANOTHER GLUE COMES TO LIGHT IN NELMS CASE Much Wanted Been Dispatches Found. Have INNES GUARDED MESSAGES Marshall Nelms Announces His Intentions of Re newing Search. ATLANTA, July 29. --Close on the discovery that the identity of "Mrs. V. E. Inncs," "Mrs. llardman," and "Margaret Minis," is the same, it as learned to-day that from eight to ten telegrams that passed between Victo Innes and Elo se Nelms Dennis have been found. From Western cities where Innes has been for several months at a time it was learned that Innes sent telegrams to Mrs. Dennis in Atlanta some time over his own name, but more often over an alias, and that the telegrams he received from Mrs. Dennis were! sometimes signed by her name and some times by others. The copies of these telegrams are in the hands ot tne officials ol the telegraph companies in At anta and Western cities, and will be turned over to the court so that copies may be made in the event that counsel so advises the companies. These discoveries were closely fol lowed by the arrival in Atlanta of Mar shall Nelms, who had been in Washing ton to obtain Federal aid in the search of his nmissing sisters, Eloise and Bea trice, and in learning exactly the re lations that existed between Innes and Eloise. The telegrams so far found show that Innes, in his correspondence with Eloise, used every precaution to to safeguard himself against untoward consequences in the future. Me evi dently cautioned her to do the same. Their real names seldom appear. Even the money that was sent In nes by Eloise, it was learned, was often sent to another name in Los Angeles, Carson City or Portland. One of his favorite aliases is said to have been Kavanaugh. Also he called himself 'Your Uncle Bennett" and she signed herself "Your Niece. Nothing of the contents ol the telegrams could be learned from the Atlanta officials of the Western Union. They would go no further than to admit the telegrams had been found and that hey would be g,ven to the court or copying if lcounse agreed Young Nelms was reticent concern ing his conterences witn nign gov ernment authorities in Washington, on his appeal for a Federal probe, and made denial of the report that an in vestigation has been started by Wash ington. He expressed himself as dis- inted over the attitude of the ' 1 (Jovernnient. It is known, however, that young Nelms is under a strict pledge of se crecy, and that the ijovernment reauy has set in motion the mac hinery of its secret service at all points involved n the great mystery. Nelms was met at the Terminal Station by his mother, Mrs. J. W Nelms, and after lunch, had a con ference with Attorney Reuben Arnold, laying before him the results of hii Washington trip. In addition to his plea for Federal action, young Nelms, whne in wash ington, took steps to gain all possible information relative to Victor Innes New York career, believing these facts might possibly aid in the general in vestigation. He told on his arrival here that he engaged private detectives, and that already they are at work on this phase of the mystery. Clairvoyant Traced. "These detectives will interview Innes' New York wife, Mrs. Viola Sickles; her lawyer, Attorney Andrew J. Smith, and all other persons who can tell of his conduct while he lived in New York," he said. I Mrs. Nelms to-day renewed her efforts to trace the movements ol Professor LaVoux, clairvoyant and mind reader, who was In Atlanta sev eral weeks during the first of the year, so firm is she In her conviction that there is ' striking resemblance between LaVoux and Victor E. In nes. Although this theory generally is discredited by the police, attorneys and other investigators, Mrs. Nelms is determined to gather all informa tion. possible concerning the opera tions of the clairvoyant.
