CORDOVA CHIEF FIRED
CORDOVA, July 23.—'This after
noon Mayor Boyle suspended from
office Chief of Police A. J. Henneke.
He immediately thereafter appointed
as patrolman, Link Wain, who took
the oath of office and is now acting
under his appointment, performing
the duties as is ordinarily required of
the chief of police. This action is a
result of the refusal of the town
council to either discharge or suspend
Chief Henneke, the vote on both prop
ositions having been a tie on Monday
evening.

AUSTRIA BEGINS
THE WAR
(Continued from Page 1)
demonstrators seemed to have
the idea that war has already
been decided upon while Ger
many is occupied with Russia
and they organized to offer a
telling opposition. While they
were demonstrating the troops
received the order to charge
and several fierce charges were
made, so that the city was soon
, in an awful turmoil and hun
dreds were hurt, The troops
only used the butts of their guns
and the fiats of their sabres, so
that none were killed. After
the rioting the streets were lit
tered with hats, torn clothing,
canes and other articles and pre
sented a most disorderly appear
ance. At night several raids
were made on the anti-war lead
ers and about one hundred of
them were arrested.
Berlin, July 28— Runs occurred
yesterday on the savings banks
throughout the empire owing to
the general belief that a great
war is about to begin.
Several councils of war have
been held within the past twenty -
four hours, but strict secrecy is
maintained. The emperor is
constantly in touch with his min
isters and hardly sleeps. He
has posted himself on all the
military details and it has al
ready been arranged where the
army will strike if hostilities
break out. So far as can be
learned at present the kmobiliza
tion of the troops has not yet
begun, but the army is so sta
tioned that mobolization will be
comparatively easy. Austria is
maintaining a strict censorship
and whatever it is doing is
clouded in deep mystery. Never
has the war fever reached such
a height and all look for a tre
mendous conflict. One of the
chief speculations is as to Great
Britain’s position. The use of
her fleet against Germany and
Austria would mean, it is ac
knowledged, a severe handicap.
Constantinople, July 28—The
Greek minister to this capital
made the statement last night
that if Austria attacks Servia
•'
Greece will be compelled to send
one hundred thousand men to
Servia’s aid by an agreement
made at the time of the Balkan
war.

share of the expense incurred in the
elfort to increase the value of thc«r
own property.
The council agreed to the proposal
of Mr. Whittemore and the mayor ap
pointed a committee consisting of
Councilmen Graef and Mewiit to con
fer with the Commercial club.
Previous to this the council decided
that the lowest bidder for the sewer
contract should receive it provided he
put up a bond for $500.
The subject which attracted most of
the spectators to the meeting of th
council was the electric power fran
chise sought for by Messrs. Ashland
and Poindexter. Councilman Noon
for the committee reported that he
had looked into the franchise propos
ed and that the committee had made
considerable changes
While the discussion waj going cn
regarding the amending of the fran
chise Councilman Crawford exhorted
the council to go slowly in a matter
of such vital importance to the city.
He advised delay because it meant
giving away the property of the city
for 50 yoM*s. Mr. Noon urged the
uassage of the orjinane** He declar
ed that Messrs. Ashland and Poindex
ter had agreed to expend $1,500 within
three months, or, failing in that, to
give a bond to expend that sum within
the ensuing three months or forfeit the
bond.
Mr. Chamberlin agreed with Mr.
Crawford that the matter was too im
portant to be disposed of in a hurry,
aud he also advised delay.
Mr. Patton moved that the franchise
ordinance go on to its third reading,
and Mr. Chamberlin moved as an
amendment that it go over for another
week. For the amendment there voted
Messrs. Crawford, Chamberlin, Graef
and Hewitt. Against, Messrs. Noon
and Patton.
The council decided that all the
plans for the school building should be
presented by 7 p. m. next Monday
evening, and, after several other mat
ters came up and were disposed of
either temporarily or permanently, the
meeting adjourned.
