OPPOBTUIIITY TO SURRENDER Jhips Cease Firing to Give the Town a Chance to Surrender, But No White Flag Lofems Into View. ' ' FLEET i Djerba, Tunis, Oct. 4. Tripoli has fceen bombarded twice by the Italian X fleet. The first shot was fired shortly after 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Shelling was resumed early this morn ing after a quiet night There was a steady but slow fire from the warships until dusk last ev ening and -shots also came from the forts in the town. The French steam er Tatjana took a delegation from Djerba to the scene of hostilities. Among the party was the French con sul general, Mj Leon, who made sev eral ineffectual attempts to land. The Tafana was stopped about ten miles from Tripoli by a boat from the crui ser Varez, which ordered her to re rturn, but she remained for'more than an hour, even creeping in closer to the blockaded town. The white buildings in Tripoli could be plainly seen and the whole field of operations was unfolded before the watchers. Officers . of the Varez ex plained that the battle had been de layed because Admiral Aubrey, com mander of the Italians, had received a request from the Tripoli garrison for another day's grace and gave the gar rison an extra few hours. The battle ship Beneditto and armored cruisers Giuseppe Garibaldi and Francesco Fer rucio drew up in line 6pposite the har 'bor. There were no small craft' in the battle line, and the Varez stood off to keep back intruders. ' There waa no sign of life in the city, which ap peared deserted, .but the Turkish flag flew from the castle and forts. . The first shots were. .". directed w .towards Charchattl fort and later Kerkerechre fort was shelled. As the first shells burst over Tripoli the garrison seem-1 ed to awaken, and 'returned the fire . with vigor and energy. A heavy can nonade was kept up on both sides for a few minutes and then firing became desultory. So far as could be seen no warship was hit, - I At 4 o'clock the ships were ordered to cease firing by the admiral, to per mit the town to surrender, but no sign was given, and, after a few min utes the ships began again. This time great havoc was wrought. Fortifica tions t were razed, the forts suffered severely and the lighthouse to the northwest was destroyed by shells from the Garibaldi. There was no means of knowing what the loss of life was in Tripoli, but ample opportunity was given the defenders to escape. When the Tafana left the scene no landing had been attempted by the Ital ians, and It was feared that during the night the town would be pillaged by Nomad Arabs,, who had been hovering in the vicinity for some days Farly this morning the first division of the Italian fleet under Admiral Fa ravelli, resumed the bombardment. The Turkish garrison occupied a posi tion behind the first, and responded with a few shells which fell short The Italian commander endeavored to avoid damaging private dwellings, but .sonfe of them were destroyed, and the governor's palace' and the three forts at the entrance of the port are in ru ins. The consulates and churches have not teen damaged. The second division of the fleet, un der Vice Admiral Thaon Di Revel, has approached close to Benghazi and Der na. A bombardment - of these ports, it is understood, has been ordered to begin tomorrow. It is denied that any blue jackets will be landed in the im mediate future. Such a landing may possibly be decided upon the arrival of the expeditionary corps. Before commencing the bombard ment of Tripoli the Italian squadron removed all mines aiid made a careful revision of the hydrographic chart, to insure safety to the coming transports. This operation lasted several days and probably explains the real reason for the delay In the bombardment. Four Italian officers have come to Djerba and are proceeding overland toward Tripoli on a reconnoltering ex pedition, as the Arabs are expected to offer stubborn resistance to. the occu pation of the Vilayet Rome. Oct. 4. The bombardment of Tripoli was resumed this' morning with the object of completing the de '8truction of : the batteries. Up r to 6 o'clock this evening no official confir mation of the surrender of Tripoli could be obtained. " London, Oct 4. A Rome dispatch from Tripoli says it is believed that the garrison has suffered very heavy losses and that-the governor is wound ed. It appears that ' even after the demolition of the forts the Turkish gunners continued to serve such guns as were available. It became necessa ry for the warships to train their guns upon the ruins. Several private hous- es were destroyed by fire, but none The town has was struck by shells. been entirely deserted by the inhabi tants. .,;-.. - Constantinople. Oct. 4.

The women are Mrs. Peter' Shava and her daughter-in-law, Mrs. ' Joseph Shava. The women .when arrested appealed' to State Senator Baldwin to intercede for them but he refused. They were taken to the county jail at Couders port, Pa. Their home then was search ed and furs and jewelry valued at $1, 000 or more were recovered, many pieces being identified by the owners. Joseph Shava, husband of the young er woman, is accused of participating in the thefts but has inot been found. The visit of Governor John K. Tener, the recovery of seven more bodies and the funerals of a number of other victims, coupled with a furth er development of the system of clearing the ruins and feeding the aug mented force of workmen marked the day and was one of greatest of prog ress thus far in relieving the stricken town. With the bodies recovered today, there are but thirty persons unac couited for, according to the officials. Six funerals were held today, five from the Swedish church, . the only cne left standing. N The caskets were placed side by side before-the pulpit at one time and as one service was completed a min ister of another denomination .would succeed him (or the next funeral. Each had its little group of mourners. The Rev... E. E. Harter, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, read the simple service to flood victims as the bodies were buried. CHALONER'S BUGHOUSE TALK. He Tries to Convince Court. That He's Able to Take Care of Fortune. Charlottesville, Va., Oct 4. John Armstrong Chaloner spent two hours before United States Commissioner Booth again today, continuing the dep osition begun yesterday in which he expects to demonstrate to the United Stales Circuit Court for Southern- Pfew York that be,, is sane and entitled to possession k of. the $1,500,000 held for him in New Y or k. by a committee. Chakmer's statements . .today were quite as remarkable as those of yester day. He insisted that his prediction or "trance, utterance ot Marcn, ixvi that be would develop a physical re semblance to '.Napoleon Bonaparte had actually been borne out Photographs weie introduced to support his asser tions of a facial metamorphosis that hi3 eyes had changed . from brown to grayand his nose from straight to ro- man. He denounced . ordinary clair voyants as "fakirs" and declared that there were only two exceptions him self and a young Parisian woman who foretold a calamitous fire known as Le Charite Bazaar, which occurred about 20 years ago and who also predicted tho low ebb which English poetry would reach. It was this trance utterance" that was largely . responsible for the im prisbnment of Chaloner in the Bloom irgdale, N. Y., asylum from which he escaped. By proving that his pre diction has been fulfilled he hopes to rid himself of the New York judg ment against his sanity and thereby gain the right to enter his native State a free man and at the same time re cover control of his estate. Chaloner'B suit against the icommit- tee probably will be reached about January 1st The depositions now be ing taken will be Introduced then.

WHOLE mjMBBB 18 731 i r- : . , ; : 1 C Such is The Testimony in the Investigation of Senator Stephenson's Election. IISCIIKII COST $107,192 And No Detailed Expense Accounts Were Turned in to Him by His Managers Who Passed Out ' , the Coin. Milwaukee, Wis., Oct. 4. Payments of money to workers in United- States Senator 'Isaac Stephenson's campaign for the primary nomination in 1908 were made . without any definite re turns to the campaign managers as to what use the funds were put, accord- ng to testimony today before the Sen atorial committee, which is investigat ing charges of bribery in connection with 1 Senator Stephenson's election. It was brought out that out of the senator's campaign fund of $107,793 n the primaries for the nomination, money was scattered broadcast over the State to 'organizers' who turned in no itemized expense accounts. Sen ator Stephenson 'gave no attention to detailed expenses, it was testified, and his campaign managers paid out money liberally wherever it was thought it would increase the sena tor's prospects of winning at the pri maries. . From the amount of money-spent It would appear that Senator Stephenson had no voluntary supporters In Wis consin and from the efforts made to get out votes it would seem that the direct primary for which the people popularly were supposed to be clamor ing, was not such a successful insti tution after all. "Am I to understand, that in Wiscon sin, the home of the direct primary, half of the people have to be solicited to go. to the polls?" asked Senator W. B. Heyburn, of Idaho, the chairman. ; E;,'AEdmdttds, who had charge" of Senator Stephenson s campaign; was on the' stand. "I don't know as to that," replied Edmonds, "but there were several Re publican candidates for the nomina tion and we felt it necessary to em ploy every means to" get out the Ste phenson supporters." Going over items of sums paid to in dividuals Edmonds said none of those who "received money had returned itemized accounts. "There are a number of items here charged to 'General'. They aggregate $1,000. Who is this general and what was the money spent for?" asked' the chairman. "I don't know. I suppose for organ! zing."i ' 4 "Don't use that word organize. It is a glittering political generality used to avoid the necessity of particulariz ing." Taking up the total of moneys paid to organizers, Edmonds said, although about $98,000 of the $107,793 campaign fund . had passed through the head quarters, at Milwaukee where he was in charge, he could not mention any item wherein he was given an item ized account of just how the money was expended.

Dr. R. E. Doolittle, of New York, a veteran chemist named to suceecfl So licitor McCabe, oa.: the" board, was per sonally selected bj Dri Wiley. The two will act as working majority, the only other member being Dr. F. L. Dunlap, who aligned with the so licitor and who will remain away on a vacation until after the -President's return. The official order of Secretary Wil son issued today transferred to the food and drug board many of the pow ers that have been exercised by Solici tor McCabe since July 1,1910, the chief, cause of the antagonism. It gives the board authority to determine what cases shall be" pushed to prosecu tlon, but Secretary . Wilson, .of course, will exercise the right -of approval or disapproval. The Secretary's order. said: "Hereafter all questions relating to citations for hearings will be consid ered by the board of food and drug in spection, and the determination " made by a majority of that l board as to whether or not the citation shall issue This directly affects the power of Solicitor McCabe, who has during the last year determined', whether ' cita tions should issue, after the bureau of chemistry had recommended & case for prosecution. The new order, fur ther provides that after a hearing has b!en heft; the board -of fod and drug inspection shall determme-v whether there will be a prosecution. The pow er of the solicitor is apparently re stricted to the "preparation and trans mittal to the department of justice", of such cases of prosecution. MORE TROUBLE IN MEXICO.

BETTER QUALITY OF STAPLE United States Department of Agricul ture Appoints Experts to Help . Farmers to Secure Higher Prices for Cotton. Washington, Oct. 4. An effort to se cure higher prices for cotton by an mprovement in the methods of hand ling, grading and marketing the crop is to .be made by the government this year in co-operation with prominent cotton growers. The plan is designed to bring to the cotton raisers the full benefit of the increase in value that can be secured by a careful grading of the crop to correspond with the new government standards. . The standards have been in the hands of the cotton exchanges for some time and are recoenized as official standards of the trade.- Officials of the 'Agricultural Depart ment are planning to take the crop from plantations selected as 'experi ment points. The government experts will use the most approved methods of grading, handling, baling and selling, and will make accurate, returns on each operation for the benefit of the cotton growers. It is believed that if the cotton rais ers can be ' trained to grade the crop carefully in its initial Sbmdling, its yaiue can be greatly increased by put ting the cotton into grades that com mand higher prices. Efforts are being made to induce farmers associations and local bodies to purchase sets of the government standards for use in preparing the cotton for the market The price of the standards has been reduced from $35 to $30 for the bene fit of farmers' associations and the de partment is recommending that a "half series" be 'purchased which will give farmers a facility to grade their cot ton. It is believed cotton raisers of the South will benefit to the extent of millions of dollars if the Improvements in handling and marketing . methods can be made general. PACE CASE AT NEWBERN.

How her friendshiD for him ripened into love and how he had fi nally nroDosed marriaee to her and her acceptance.

The point arose from the appeal of the government from the action of the New York euerai Jouri in quasmus certain counts of an, indictment acainst James A. Patten. Eugehe G fir.W liVank P..

The solicitor general quoted the Poet Pope in support of his con tention that a corner was more than a .o-nmMintr transaction and likewise, turned literature in an argument that such a corner as alleged, not only re sulted in "squeezing the snorts" Duiin a restraint of trade in violation of the Sherman law.

Rousing Reception Given the, Presi- ijent at Cheyenne, Wyoming, by the Cowboys and Cow Girls In Contest Rawlins, Wyo., October 4. Presi dent Taft .spent today In Wyoming and left Rawlins, after a ten-minutes stop for Salt Lake City where he spends tomorrow. ' During the day tbe President stopped at Cheyenne, and Laramie. At Cheyenne Charley Eh: .win, of the reception committee, had arranged a miniature reproduction or the "stunts" made famous at the an nual Frontiers' Celebration, . Mr. Tatt watched the bucking broricos,-the rac ing between cowboys and the roping of wild horses with great interest. He reviewed several thousand soldiers from Fort D. A. Russell, inspected the town from an automobile' and spoke on' his tariff vetoes in the opera house to a good sized crowd. The frontier day show at Cheyenne was near a re-production of the an nual affair as Irwin could make it There were about 60 cowboys, cow gins, -Dronco busters" and other western types in the cast Mr. Taft watched the performance from the judge's stand with Senator Warren and Governor Carey and appeared to enjoy exceedingly the riding of buck ing and outlaw horses. Governor Carey, who accompanied the ' President across the State, told Mr. Taft that he would be backed by the Wyoming delegation . at the next Republican convention, and that he would receive the electorate vote of the State in November, 1912. This an nouncement was of particular interest because . Governor Carey was elected as an "independent and against the can didates of the so-called "regular" ma chine. Senator Warren promised the Pres ident today to support the peace traa ties in the Senate. He declares that the President's speech on the subject unquestionably had met the approval of the people. Charley Irwin showed himself good stake manager, however, by re naming some of the ponies entered in the bucking contest i There was one called "Billy Taft another named "Archil Butt," a third that bucked, by the name of "tSched ule K," and another ' that the , rest tJents .of Cheyenne declared was al most unridable'; that . Irwin had . pat down on the programme as "Teddy Roosevelt," "Reciprocity," '"Gin Fizz," 'Old Steamboat and a few others un der names less pertinent to a Presi dent's reception also ran. "Billy Taft" was the first pony to be saddled, and Jack Martin, a buster, tried to ride bim. Martin got -about twenty feet beyond the judge's stand and then dismounted head foremost Next came "Archie Butt," ridden by Frank Carter, former champion buster of the world. '. Archie proved docile and Carter rode him easily) up the track and into the coral. "Senator Warren," ridden by Hugh Clark, . "AeroplaneM with Bill Baker or his back, "Reciprocity," ridden, by John Rickall, were subdued handily and "Scehdule K." gave up almost without a struggle, whereat those in the President's party laughed hear tily. "Teddy v Roosevelt " manned by Henson, insisted upon converting him self into a small whilwind that re volved at an estimated . speed" of not less than thirty miles an hour. Henson stuck on for a couple of min utes, but then decided to descend and chose "Teddy's" head as a stopping block. In the ladies' half mile race, Paul ene Irwin, a little girl with golden hair, tied with bright red ribbon, and dressed in a khaki riding suit, came under the wire first riding as well as most of the men did standing up in the stirrups, whip in hand and getting all the plaudits of the crowd. In the opera house the President de clared that the present wool tariff is too high and announced his .intention to revise it downward. Cheyenne. Is in the center of, the sheep country and the President got . little applause for that announcement : 1 SUPREME COURT OPINIONS. Twenty-Three Opinions . in Cases Handed Down Yesterday.

THt CITIZENS DEMANDED IT With the Railroads Vigorously Protest ing, the Railroad Strike-breakers Are Hauled, Away Guarded by Sixty Soldiers McComb.City, Miss.. October 4. With the enforced departure late to day of the last of the strike-breakers brought here by the Illinois Central Railroad came the first real assurance of the restoration of peace after 24 hours of excitement and spasmodic ""ting, ine people or McComb City demanded, that the etrike-brnairAra h removed from their community and the 132 were placed aboard a heavily guarded special train and hurried to iew urieans. Sixty soldiers armed with ball cart ridges and Ith orders to "shoot to kill" If necessary, accompanied the special train south as far as Magnolia. This action by the military authorities probably prevented anot-er pitched battle. After the strike-breakers agreed to get out of town at 1 o'clock the de parture of the train I was delayed for' nearly three hours by protests front the railroad company and the people of McComb City who began to exhibit signs of surliness and 'some show of mob spirit About a half hour before the train left' at 3:45 a number of these, persons well armed, left the city going south and taking up a position near the railroad track on "which tne special would have to pass en route to , New Orleans.

Not Interested at Ashevllle Fire at Sylva, N. C. (Special Star Correspondence.) Ashevllle, N. C, Oct 4. In an ef fort to find out. something about the threatened strike of the telegraphers who are working for. the Southern Railway by questioning some of the local 'members of the order, it appear ed that they are not greatly, at least not vitally, Interested in the matter. In fact one of those, questioned stated that he did not know what the threat ened strike is about though ,.he thought it might be concerning a raiBe in pay. He said, however, .that if a strike were called,, .the members of the order would have to- go out, and there are several members In Ashe vllle. It is probable, that most of the telegraphers are members of the or der and that it is much better organ ized' than 1 was about ten .years ago, . when they were so badly outdone by the railroad.
