Italians Have Army of 22,
000 Men on Tripolitan
Coast, .
TURKS HOVERIIiG: HEAR CITY
Italian Commander Getting Ready to
Advance on Enemy Turks Or
dered to Fight Massacre
of Italians in Syria.
Tripoli, Oct. 12. Gen; Caneva, commander-in-chief
of the Italian expedi
tion, has decided to act quickly, and
it is believed that the troops under
bim will march Immediately against
.the psitions occupied, by the Turks. A
reconnaissance of the desert- today
disclosed the central body of the Turk
ish troops with field guns not far from
the city. ' ' ' .
Ninteen more Italian transports, es
corted by warships and carrying the
second division of the troops, arrived
this morning. The men were hastily
landed. This division Is 15,000 strong,
and there are now 22,000 Italian sol
diers on the coast of Tripoli. Not only
is the Italian position safeguarded
against surprise, but an effective oc
cupation of the interior can begin.
It is reported that the Arabs have
accepted the Italian occupation joy
fully, but some of the warships re
main In the harbor in readiness for
emergencies. Troops were landed to
day also at Benghazi, Derna, Tobruk
and Bomba. - ' ,v , ' .
Although the utmost precautions
have been taken looking to the per
fecting of. sanitary arrangements,
cholera has broken out, and it is re
ported that four deaths have occurr
ed. .
Gen. Caneva has addressed & procla
mation to the inhabitants assuring
hem that they have not been enslaved
by Italy. On the contrary, they have
been liberated by - the yoke , under
which they have been laboring, for
yars. They wilUJe-fuled by. their own
chiefs under f the patronage zot. the1
Kine of Italy. Relieious and . civil
laws will be respected and taxes will
be reduced or abolished. .
The proclamation concludes by. an
nouncing that .Italy "desires that Tripo
li shall remain the land of Islam under
the protection of Italy.
Italians Massacred.
Rome, Oct. 12. (via Frontier.) That
an armistice has been arranged be:
Ueen Italy and Turkey, as reported
from Berlin, is strenuously denied by
the Italian government.
A dispatch from Tripoli to the Gior
nale D'ltalia says that the . Turkish
government, being unable to communi
cate directly with Munhir Pasha, com
mander of the former Turkish garri
son at Tripoli, has telegraphed to the
Turkish mriRiila ft.t Tunis and Malta to
instruct him to resist as long as pos
sible. Similar reports have reached the
Italian government, stating that 30
Italian laborers employed on the Hed
jaz railroad, on the boundary line be
tween Egypt and. Syria, were massa
cred at Kerak, Syria, early in October.
Occupation of , Tripoli
Rome, via Frontier, Oct. 12. With
the landing of 22,000 troops in Trip
oli, and another convoy soon to follow
with 15,000 more, the Italian govern
ment feels that the occupation will
soon be completed and that Turkey
will accept the Inevitable. The most
interesting news from Tripoli outside
of the safe landing of the soldiers Is
that relating to the presence there of
Former Premier Sonnino, leader of the
constitutionals in the Chambers of
Deputies .and Count , Guicciardinl, who
was Minister of Foreign Affairs in the
Sonnino cabinet. They acted quiteS as
sf cretly as Premier Giollttl did in dis
patching the troops, and their arrival
ir Tripoli was entirely unexpected.
The express the intention to follow
the troops so that they may personal
ly become acauainted with the prob
lems whfch Italy must solve and what
an be gotten out of the new colony.
I'ndoubtedly their chief object Is to
ascertain how tae possession of Tripol
Hiiiia may help in the regeneration of
the south.
Contraband Articles'
Constantinople. Oct. 12. The gov
eminent has issued a list of contra
band articles., In addition to those al
ready known the list includes cereals,
although flour is not mentioned, and
i.ll kinds of preserved Tood stuffs, bank
notes, checks, bills of exchange ana
iaper money. The government also
lias declared Its intention to conform
ti the declaration of London although
Turkey is not a party thereto. ". .
Reports from Yemen say that Imam
latiya has proclaimed a Holy War.
A preliminary meeting of the two
parties in the Chamber of . Deputies
today indicated a probability of the
f&riy rail of the icabinet. The minis
terialists tried to arrange a joint
meeting in order to present a united
Jvont in the time of a National crisis
Jmt the oppositionists declined, and in
" separate meetine adopted a resolu
tion that they would refuse to vote
contidence in the new ministry. ,
The ministerialist meeting, passed a
solution in favor of resisting Italy to
the end with reprisals and by every
ireans in the country's ower. - It is
Itubtful whether the grand vizier wil
conform to this policy in which case
the cabinet's fate is sealed. ' There

Kansas City, Mo., Oct .12 ."There's
a fellow on that :jury -that van be
bought. Leave it to me and I'll fix
it."
In the foregoing words, according
to an affidavit made by Dr. B. Clarke
Hyde, Harry Hoffman, a deputy coun
1y marshal sought a bribe from the
Physician on May 6th. 1910. during hi
first trial for the alleged murder of
Colonel Thomas H. Swope.
The affidavit was introduced in th
criminal court here today during a
nearmg on tfie application of Dr.
Hyde's attorney ' for. the aonointment
of elisors to take charge of the Jury
at the physician's second trial. Coun-
ter-cnarges of attempts of lurv brib
ing by the friends of Dr. Hyde were
made in affidavits presented by the
prosecution.
The second trial of Dr. Hvde will
begin October 23rd, one week later
than the date originally decided upon.
ur. wyoe, in ms petition, said the
attempt to solicit a bribe from him
was made while he was being taken
from the criminal court room to his
cell. Hoffman, herald, broached the
subject in this way: ,
"Doctor, I am very friendly toward
you and sympathize with you in your
trouble and have .your interest at
heart. I have something to say to
you, but I am afraid to say it."
Dr. Hyde encouraged tne deputy
and Hoffman finally continued, ac
cording to the affidavit.
"There's a fellow on that jury that
can be bought If you. will give me
$1,500 for him, you will have a hung
jury. This fellow says, however, that
if there is an acquittal, he must have
$3,000." .
"After saying repeatedly that I must
keep this to myself," said Dr. Hyde,
the deputy said: "If -you will leav
this to me, I'll handle the entire mat
ter for you." - r -
Later the ) State "took its turn at
charging alleged bribery.
Virgil Wilson, who at the time ' of
the. Hyde trial was employed at the
hotel where the jury was boarded. She
said that she was approached oy
Thomas McAnnany, who asked, her if
there was not some way to get to the
jurymen, in the hotel. ;

"You are ; getting along in years,
and there Is $5,000 here for somebody

TO BE' DISSOLVED
Sweeping Decree Entered in
- Behalf, of the Federal
Government.
BACKBONE OF TRUST BROKEN
So Attorney General Wickersham
Claims Combination Has Agreed
to Dissolve Southern
Wholesale Grocers.
Toledo, O., Oct. 12. In the United
States District Court for the Northern
District of Ohio today Judge M. Kil-
letts rendered a decree in favor otthe
government in the case brought by
the .United Spates attorney general
last Summer in Cleveland against the
General Electric Company and about
40 subsidiary companies, controlled
by the General Electric Company un
der the Sherman anti-trust law.
The decree, in effect, orders the
General Electric Company to conduct
all its business under its own name
and the dissolution of the National
Electric Lamp Company and about 35
subsidiary . corporations. The peti
tion was dismissed as to the Kentucky
Electrical Company. . The contention
of the government was that the Gener
al Electric Company and its subsidia
ry corporations have entered into an
unlawful combination in restraint of
trade. Wade H. Ellis, former attorney
general of Ohio, conducted the case
for the government. 1
- Decree Is Sweeping.
I Washington, Oct. 12. By the sweep
ing decree entered in the United
States Circuit Court at Toledo today
the backbone of the so-called Electri
cal Trust was broken, and in the judg
ment of Attorney . General Wicker
sham,: the government was equipped
with precedents of genuine value in
its prosecutions of commercial combi
nations . forbidden by the Sherman
law.;- - " v '
Meeting tie 'government's. charges
that -the. .trust -controlled " the electric
lamp business of the country, .regulat
ing by .agreement the prices at which
all' lamps were sold, the decree severs
all relationship between the General
Electric Company and the National
Electric Lamp Company. The latter
concern and all its - subsidiaries are
ordered dissolved.
The contracts and combinations en
tered Into by the defendants, the at
torney general pointed out today, are
declared unlawful and the .companies
are enjoined from entering into- any
agreements to control the prices of in
candescent lamps. The , important
principle was laid down,, according to
the attorney general, that once a lamp
is sold by a-manufacturer the price
at which it is re-sold by a dealer or
jobber must be open to free competi
tion.
The decree was acquiesced in by
the defendant companies and this
gives the government the moral cer
tainty that here will be no appeal.
There are similar decrees against
other combinations the government is.
prosecuting, which are likely to follow
shortly with the acquiescence oi tne
defendant concerns. A decree in the
Southern Wholesale Grocers Associa
tion case, against which the govern
ment some time' ago entered suit, is
now ready for filing, the attorney gen
eral announced, and the case will be
disposed of as soon as a judge In . Ala
bama can be secured to enter the de
cree.
Snfv&ldnz of the electrical combina
tion, Mr. Wickersham said it appeared
to control practically 97 per cent, of
the electric lamp business.
"The investigation out or wnich tne
suit grew," continued the attorney gen
eral, "also disclosed a general trade
and patent agreement between the
General Electric company ana tne
Westlnghouse Electric & Manufactur
ing Company, the two largest electri
cal concerns In the country, covering
substantially their whole business:
but this agreement since the institu
tion of the government's suit nas ex
pired by limitation and Has not been,

National Association of Railway Com

Governors at-Sp(ing Lake.
Matters Discussed.
Washington,- Oct. 12j The National
Association of Railwayt Commissioners
today adopted resolutions approving
the recent action of the convention of
Governors of various, States" at Spring
Lake, N. J.,authoriiing the presen
tation to the 'Supreme Cdurt of , the
United States of a brief supporting
the right of States to regulate freight
rates within, their borders.'
Washington' on November 19th,
1912, waa selected today by the Asso
ciation for Its next annual convention.
Additional " power s to the Interstate
Commerce Commission was urged
vigorously in a report the . legislation
committee of the association made to
day. The committee believed that the
commission ought to be empowered
"to require a complete .accounting
system so that the cost per unit of
transportation can be ascertained in
conducting the -freight and -passenger
business, inter-State and intra-State,
of each railroad,' and that the over
head charges may be determined as
to the respective classifications.
"With State , and Federal -commissions
to regulate 'with justice the af
fairs of railroad - corporations," said
the report, "it is not a Eutopian dream
to say that the time Is not far distant
when the railway securities will be as
safe as government bonds, thereby
justifying low and certain returns up
on railroad securities and correspond
ingly low rates for transportation."
A resolution by. John; G. Richards,
Jr., of South Carolina, approving the
action of the governors in appointing
a committee to. intervene before tne
Supreme Court of the United States in
tne plea of protest against judicial
sanction of the proposition that the
State authorities shall not have pow
er to regulate their intra-State rates
caused acrimonious discussion. , The
question was raised in the Minnesota
and Kentucky -rate cases.-- The resolu
tion was objected1 to by delegates as a
reflection upon '.the judiciary." Mr.
Richards disclaimed any such 'reflec
tion and accepted as a .substitute a
resolution by John E. Beaton, of New
Hampshire. This recognized the "full
constitutional powers fit States- in the
regulation of railrcted rates wholly
within their border," expressed abso
lute confldence ln the Supreme Court
of the United'StatBB-trtnf approved tne
action, of the'governors in appointing
a. committee to file a brief in cases
invoiving intra-State rates so "that
those cases, so far as the same affect
the several States, may be fully pre
sented to the Supreme Court." -
With this modification the report
of the committee on legislation was
adopted.
Reports ' covering demurrage; in
which sit was declared by Chairman
McKnight, of 'Arkansas, that It takes
longer today to get freight to its desti
nation by rail than it formerly tooK to
send it by-mules and canal; safety
appliances,- in which steel cars were
strongly advocated to insure safety to
passengers; and railway capitalization
in which Chairman Decker, of New
York, urged supervision, were present

that no injunction should be granted
by. a-United States court to say the

New Problems for Los An

HEARING MAY LAST 6 MONTHS
State Holiday Yesterday and No Tes
timony Offered Feeling of the '
Talesmen Towards Labor
Organizations Tested
Los Angeles, Cal., Oct. 12. The se
curing of suitable accommodations for
the jurors who are to try James Mc
Namar, in the Times dynamiting case,
developed into a serious problem to
day. The men may be confined for
six months and following sickness- last
night among the eleven talesmen so
far set, the authorities today prepared
to take unusual steps for their phy
sical welfare.
One of the men, Zimrit Hyatt, re
quired medical assistance last nignt
as a result of sleeping in a close room,
the air of which was vitiated with, the
fumes of fresh paint. Others com
plained of illness and tonight the men
were given an airy vacant court room
In the hall of records.
The accommodation, though consid
ered healthful for the present, is not
to the satisfaction of Sheriff riammel
and steps will be taken for permanent
quarters at once. Physicians have ad
vised that a long course of restaurant
meals may develop sickness among
the men accustomed to home fare, and
Sheriff Hammel is looking for a pri
yate "house where the jurors may have
their meals, and perhaps sleep.
The State holiday Discovery Day
which interrupted court proceedings
today, gave a brief lull before the op
ering of court tomorrow . District

Clarence S. Darrow, chief counsel for
the defense, conferred with their as
sistants today and . Judge Bordwell

some routine matters, in 'order, to have
a clear field when court opens.
All preparations centered in the, in
tention of the defense to ascertain the
real feelings of the talesmen toward
labor organizations. Judge Bordwell
already has ruled favorably on cer
tain questions along -this line but the
extent of which the interrogation may
be carried remains to be determined.
Z. T. Nelson, the talesman under
examination when court adjourned
yesterday is scheduled for further ex

WOMAN SUFFRAGE TRIUMPHED,
California Election Returns Show AH
Amendments. Adopted
San Francisco, Oct. 12. Woman
suffrage has triumphed in California.
Returns late today wiped out the ma
jority previously recorded against, the
amendment and since this turn the
margin in favor of the amendment has
increased steadily.
Totals early tonight were: For suf
frage, 119,086; against suffrage, 117,
4G8. Majority for the amendment 1,
678. - These figures represent the returns
from 2,717 precincts "out of a total of
3,121 in the State. Virtually all of
the remaining precincts are in coun
ties which have given suffrage major
ities. -
So overwhelming was the vote in
favor of the other important amend
ments the initiative and referendum,
and the recall, including the judiciary
that tabulation of the returns was
suspended with nearly a third of the
piecincts remaining unreported. The
final count taken showed the follow
ing results:
For the initiative and referendum,
138,181; against, 44,850; for the recall,
148,572; against, 46,290.
United States. Senator John G.
Works made a. statement to the press
today In which he declared the out
come of the amendment election to be
"one of the .biggest victories ever won
a, the polls in California."
"These are extraordinary remedies
to be used only in cases of extraordi

the people' of California are wise
enough to use them fairly and justly.
By these changes, California places It
self in the front rank of progressive

MARYLANDERS HONOR LEE.

Richmond. Va., Oct. 12 A hand
some tribute to the memory of Rob
ert E. Lee was paid this afternoon by
the Fifth Maryland Regiment of Bal
timore,, which, on its way home from
the peace celebration in Atlanta, left
its train here for an hour or two and
in full dress -uniform and with its full
band at its head, marched through the
city to the Lee monument, in the West
End, and by the hand of its command
ing officer, Col. T. M. Rawlins, plac
ed a splendid wreath of . red and white
roses on the base of the monument
and formally saluted the statue of the
great leader of the Southern armies.
It was a pretty compliment most
happily conceived and most gracefully
carried out. .
WERE EXPENSES LEGITIMATE?
Argument as to What Presumption la
HXaed in ExtraordlnarySly High
Campaign Expenditures
The Stephenson Case.
Milwaukee, Wis., Oct. 12. Argu
ment as to whether an extraordinarily
large expenditure on the part. of a
candidate was to be taken as a pre
sumption that the money was used
wrongfully, occupied a great portion
of the senatorial investigation of Unit
ed States Senator Isaac Stephenson's
election today. J
After it had been testified by wit
nesses that instead of $107,793 Sena
tor Stephenson might have expended
1220,000 for nomination at the pri
maries in 1908 and after it was figured
out on a basis given that all the four
Republican candidates might have ex
pended an aggregate of 1800,000,
Charles E. Littlefleld, counsel for Sen
ator Stephenson, raised the question
whether the amount was to be consid
ered evidence of guilt -
"Congress may say a senatorial can
didate's expenses shall not exceed
$10,000, but there is no logic in the
world which will show that just be
cause he spent more than $10,000 the
money was used corruptly," said Mr.
Littlefleld.- "If this committee in its
report is to base a presumption of
guilt on the size of the Senator's, ex
pense, then we ask the right to inquire
of witnesses what is their opinion of
the cost of properly conducting an
election in Wisconsin.
Senator Heyburn, the chairman,! an
nounced the committee would inquire
into the facts, of the expenditures re
gardless of .what they aggregated. "I
am not convinced that PinerpRs was
justified in limiting a senatorial can-
amate s expenditures to $10,000," he
added.
Senator Oporee fiivtherlfliiri nnM ho
thought the amount spent by Stephen
son warranted an inquiry along the
line that it was unreasonably large.
"The fact that the senator spent
that great amount of .money is pro
bably due to the condition in Wiscon
sin resulting from the. primaries," said
Senator Sutherland. 4;To favor mil
lionaires seems to .be one of the ef
fects of the primary, system."
Mr. Littlefleld then asked D. E. Rior
dan, of Ashland, "Wis., whether Sena
tor Stephenson was justified in spend
ing SI 07.793. v
- "He could have spent1 a great deal
more to advantaEer-DerhaDa $200,000."
said Riordan. On this basis, remarked
Senator Sutherland, the four Republi
can candidates for the nomination
could have spent $800,000.
Georsre Gordon, a United States at
torney for the Western Wisconsin dis
trict previously naa testined tnat $iuo
