TROOPS HAVE 1101 LAUDED Feeling of Italian Public News Is Fragmentary and of Little Inter est Occupatron of Tripoli. Other Repors. Rome, via Frontier, Oct. 7.--OfflcIal circles, while realizing the anxiety of foreign countries to see the Turco-Ital-ian conflict ended, wish to warn pub lic opinion abroad that while the Ital ian fleet has taken possession of Tripo li and Cyrenica, the occupation cannot be considered as an accomplished fact in the sense that it renders possible intervention by the powers, which Ita ly, fn, due time will welcome,, but at the present moment would, consider inopportune. Before anything of the kind occurs the. Italian troops must land and in reality" occupy not only the coast, but also the interior of the province in or der to make sure that any-remaining . resistance of Turkey shall be over come.' . This much has already been agreed upon between Italy and the powers and the sentiment set forth in the foregoing statements Is not intended ior other governments with which Italy is in perfect accord, but simply to quiet public opinion and dampen the ardor of Certain sections of the press. The feeling of the Italian public gen- erally was illustrated in the trium phant progress ot the King and Queen and their children from the castle Ra cogni to the hunting lodge at San Ros sore, near Pisa, i, It is charged that Turkey Js not obeying the international rules of war fare.

Italian; steamers Ernesto and r Hard! " and Meloria, which were seized along the coast, and remanning , them with , Turkish ' soldiers, is using them for its own purposes It was learned today that the Ital ians have occupied Derna and the coast of Bom bah gulf. Thus Is re vealed the plan of the Italian ' cam paign in North Africa. The object was to Insure above all else, the occu pation of Cyrenica, which is the rich est part of the invaded country. Ac cordingly a great naval display was made before Tripoli to deceive the Turks,1 .while Rear Admiral Aubrey, commander-in-chief of the fleet, feign ing' a pursuit of the Turkish fleet, landed a force from, the .battleship Vittoria 'Emanuele III, at Trobou, oc cupying Bombah gulf and the town of Derna, 500 miles east of Tripoli. Italian Premier Tells Policy. ; Rome,' j Oct. 7 Premier Giolitti, in a speech at Turin today, outlined the policy of the government with refer etfce to Tripoli; which seems to have the support of most members of the Chamber of Deputies .and 'a great1 ma jority of the people. Signor pisolati leader of the Socialists in the cham ber, however, writes' to the SecOlo, giving the view of a section of the Democrats : and Socialists, differing from that of the nation at large. In his ' letter Signor Bisolati says : "Now that'the occupation is accom . .jplished, it roust be decided whether Tripoli will be considered conquered territory unconditionally, or whether Italy is ready to compromise stop ping the war, sparing Turkey exces , slve humiliations and offering her po litical and material satisfaction and thuB rendering resumption of the good relations between the two States posr sible. ' ' ". Signor Bisolati 'expresses the opin ion that it will be necessary for Italy v"to adopt a less brutal and dangerous solution" so as to remove the impres si on that violence has been used against Turkey, and that Italy should show a spontaneous conciliatory dis position, thus avoiding "such meas ures as may be proposed, if not.iinv posed by the powers.

The editorial says in part: - ' At Cherry vale, Kansas, tne presi dent repeated the challenge he issued at Detroit to Mr.' ryaa to produce an xamole of restraint of trade that would not come within the scope of the Supreme Court decisions in the Standard Oil and Tobacco Truet cases. He spoke of the criticisms as 'glib.'

' ' t Efforts, to Spend Funds With out Violating Law are 1 Brought Out THE STEPHENSON ELECTION "Touches" and "Picnics" Took Large Amount of the Money Expended in Campaign New Fea tures. Milwaukee, Wis., Oct. 7. Such as "touches", ."a hammer" and "picnics" were brought out as part of the cam paign expenses of United States Sen ator Isaac Stephenson in the investi gation before the Senatorial Commit tee today of charges that he had se cured his election through bribery and corruption. . The details were given by Rodney Sackett, , one . of the Stephenson cam paign managers, in response to an an nouncement by Senator Heyburn, the chairman, that the total expenditures of $107,793 would have to be explain ed to overcome the presumption that it had not been wrongfully used. Some of the, general items given to Sackett to explain were: General expenses for organizing State, $46,052; Milwaukee county, $11,600; office expenses, $4,074; tele phones $256; postage, $11,000; sundry bills, $8,662; nomination papers, $40; ope man to attend colored picnic, $50; campaign bulletins, $702; trip through Cbettd, three men, $35; one man to another picnic, $10; touches by two old soldiers, $2; numerous and various touches, $17; a hammer, $3. . Of the total expenditures Sackett handled . $98,083. Asked to explain what was meant by the "touches" and trip through the Ghetto, the witness said ho did not know as that probably was ordered paid through his office on authority of other campaign managers. "As the responsible custodian of the Senator Stephenson fund and knowing that you were required by the law of Wisconsin to- render an. Jtemlzed H iee JA&C Tod had, not paid much at tention to the subject" said Senator Heyburn. The newspaper advertising in the campaign, Sackett said, amounted to $12,696. ' In one instance Senator Ste phenson paid $1,500 for a list of farm ers' names, paying for them at the rate of one cent a name and an extra one-half cent for each subsequent use of the same names. At the afternoon session the com mittee adjourned until Monday on ac county of, the death, of United States Circuit Court Judge J. V. Quarles, for mer United States Senator. So far the witnesses at the Investi gation have been regarded as those fa vorable to Senator Stephenson. Next week witnesses ' who are opposed to him, including State Senator John J. Blaine, who brought the original Charges in' the Wisconsin Legislature that bribery ' and corruption of money was employed by. Senator Stephenson in the primaries in 1908, which led to his election in' 1909.
