ORDERED TO ARMS
Greece Sticks to Balkan Al
lies and Declares War
Against Turkey.
HEAVY , FIGHTING REPORTED
Large Forces Engaged Near Adriatv
ople Balkan Ministers Leave
Constantinople Turkey Fears
Greek Naval Forces -
Athens, Oct 18. The foreign min
ister, at the sitting of the Chamber of
Deputies Jhis afternoon announced
that Greece had declared war against
Turkey. He added that up to the last
moment Turkey had made all kinds
of efforts and held out all sorts of
promises to have Greece break away
from the Balkan Confederation.
Premier Venizelos read to the dep
uties a message from King George,
in which liis majesty stated that the
sufferings of their oppressed brethren
had forced the Balkan States to re
course ta arms. The premier also
read a telegram fromN Crown Prince
Ccnstantine, reporting that the Greek
army had entered Turkish territory.
When the Premier had concluded
the minister of war announced the de
parture of the Greek fleet. He said
it was the one great wish of the Greek
sailors to see the Turkish fleet leave
its moorings.
Amid cheering1 the president of the
chamber askedthe permission of the
deputies to send' greetings to the legis
lative chambers of , the allies now that
"cannon, are roaring in the name of
civilization and Christianity is at war
against barbarism."
Prist! na Reported Taken
Belgrade,. 3ervia, Oct. IS. There
was great rejoicing here today over
an unconfirmed report, that Servians
had captured -PristlBa, a town of 15,
000 inhabitants In the Vilayet of Kos
sovo, Turkey, but, the' only authentic
r information concerning tha. movements
of the army jeeeiveif was that i ihe. "Sei
vians had entered. Old Servia " and
were advancing in the direction' of
Uskup. -It Ib doubtful, therefore, that
they have " yet reacher Pristina.
Heavy Fighting In Progress
Constantinople, - Oct. 18. Heavy
fitrhtiiu? is reborted to have been in
progress . throughout the day in the
region about Kirk-Kilessob, northwest
ward of Adrianople. Large forces
were engaged on both sides.
The departure, from Constantinople
today of the Balkan ministers was not
attended by any hostile demonstra
tion. With the exception of a few
windows being broken, no other dis
agreeable Incident is reported. Thou
sands of Greeks and other prospective
combatants of the Turks were permit
ted to depart to join their forces, but
their leaving brought forth no un
friendly manifestation.
Doubt prevailed up to the last mo
ment whether Greece finally would
throw in her lot with her Balkan
allies. It is an unquestionable fact
that the Turkish government made se
rious efforts to have Greece withdraw
her allegiance to the confederation. It
seems probable, however, that Tur
key was prompted chiefly by a desire
to gain time in view of the superiority
of the Greek fleet in the Aegean Sea.
Turkey also, at the last moment, of
fered to send a new minister to Ath
ens one more acceptable than Mukh
tar Bey-but this effort likewise prov
ed futile.
Turkey Gets Some Concessions
Onchy, Switzerland, Oct. 18. The
final draft of the treaty of peace be
tween Turkey and Italy was signed
at half past three o'clock this after
noon. Not' only have Turkish suscep
tibilities carefully been safeguarded
in the text, but the Ottoman plenipo
t entiaries have succeeded in obtaining
from Italy concessions regarding cap
itulations (judicial jurisdiction over
Moslems) and customs duties, as well
as a disguised Indemnity.
Upon these concessions Turkey de
pends greatly to. off set the decree of
the Sultan granting independence to
Tripoli and Cyrenaica, without even
a hint of recognizing the right of Italy
to assume sovereignty over them.
The subJectSi.of annexation and-independence
find no place in the-treaty
and the only hint in the whole docu
ment of Turkey practically, if indi
re tly, signing away possession of the
great territory is found in the clause
providing fpr the withdrawal of the
Turkish troops and civil officials from
Tripoli and Cyrenaica. Even this pro
vision is similar to that requiring Italy
at once to evacuate the AegeanMsland.
The fact tha Italy has given the
Sultan the right to ' appoint a repre
sentative with , considerable power is
not mentioned, but this has already
been prepared for by the decree made
public yesterday by the King of Italy.

Washington, Oct. 18. For the first
time since its investigation began the
Senate campaign funds committee to
day obtained a copy of a "list of contrib
utors to the much disputed 1904 Re
publican campaign funds. "Elmert Do
ver, who was secretary of the 1904
Republican committee, put the list in
evidence, saying it had heen copied
from the private memorandum book
iof the late Cornelius N. Bliss, treasur
er of the committee. He told the in
vestigators he believed that in many
instances the list was inaccurate and
ambiguous, owing to typographical er
rors. It totalled $2,280,018 and show
ed practically all of the contributions
to the 1904 "fund, which have been
mentioned in the committee's investi
gation. The list, credited J. P. Morgan &
Company with two contributions, one
of $100,000 and one of $50,000. A con
tribution of $100,000 appeared on the
list Irom''H. H. R." and "J. D. W.
Mr. Dover told the committee he sup
posed the "H. H. "R." stood for H. H.
Rogers, of the Standard Oil Company,
and that the "J. D. W." was an error
and should have been the initials of
either "John D. Archbold or John D.

credited with $150,000 in two contri

The good women of Wilmington are asked to contribute to the success of the Wilson
Fund. This was decided upon by the Finance Committee for Wilmington, after careful
consideration. The following reasons were set forth why the. Ladies should take a part
in this great effort to raised $10,000 Fund to help defray the expenses of the PEOPLE'S
Candidate and Wilmington's beloved former Townsman, Governor WO ODROW Wll
SON:
First: History proves that no great movement has been successful without the support
and influence of the WOMEN,
Second: They can invariably be trusted to align, themselves to the cause of RIGHT and
JUSTICE.- ;
Third: Never in the history of this country hkve we faced a crisis in which "the hand that
rocks the cradle" is so vitally interested.
WHY? Because the HIGH COST OF LIVING is a stern reality to the Housewife.
Because she knows that the Family INCOME is not keeping pace with the advanc
ing cost of FOOD and CLOTHING;
And Because she realizes that conditions must be changed before she may expect re
lief from the burdens that are oppressing her.
The "PROTECTED INTERESTS" are legally stealing her allowance by their indirect
Tax imposed on the necessities by an unjust and unreasonable Tariff.
WILSON will relieve this situation. Therefore the WOMEN are confidently asked
to4 contribute to his election.
When $1,000 has been raised by a thousand or more WOMEN of WILMINGTON,
this news will be flashed to Governor Wilson, and through the National Democratic
Headquarters to the entire country. Contributions should be handed to any member of
the Finance Committee, or to any of the following Chairmen :
L. W. MOORE
J. V. GRAINGER
JOS. W. LITTLE
L. D. LATTA
D. H. HOWES
W. M. CUMMING
e All contributions will be acknowledged through the local papers and promptly for

WILSOli "DISCUSSES TARIFF
Democratic Nominee Outlines His Par
tyfc position on Great Issue of
The Campaign Predicts
- Progressive Congress
Pittsburg, Oct. 18. Wet weather
campaigning brought Governor Wood
row Wilson a series of merry incidents
today as he traveled through West
Virginia and Western Pennsylvania.
Only at jittsburg tonight did he speak
indoors, but throughout the day the
Democratic nominee faced a fabric of
umbrellas underneath which stood a
multitude of enthusiastic people.
"I don't want to keep you standing
in the rain," said the Governor, at
Wheeling, as he began to "abridge his
speech."
"No, no, go on," urged the crowd."
"Perhaps I had better make my
speech as dry as possible to counter
act, the effect of the rain," suggest
ed the nominee.
The Governor found a big turn out
everywhere, notwithstanding the driz
zle of rain which he felt most of the
day. He pleaded with the local com
mitteemen not to insert any more
speeches than were originally schedul
ed, but was only partly successful.
At Wheeling the nominee was loud
ly applauded when he said he would
not discuss the third party while Col
onel Roosevelt was in the hospital.
The Governor was saying that there
was, a "corner of prosperity in the
country' and that he had "a very
definite notion as to how the whole
population of the United States should
have .access to its own prosperity."
He began to discuss the trusts and mo
nopolies then, but stopped short. "I
am a , little bit hampered." he said,
"in discussing this part of the ques
tion -because I have denied myself
the privilege at present of disicussing
anything that concerns the third par
ty. "Ab long as Mr. Roosevelt is con
fined to the hospital in Chicago, I shall
have nothing to say about the third
party. But I want, to say this about
the Democratic party programme.:
"The thing that has created the
trusts, that has created the monopoly
is unregulated, unfair competitions It
we can only bring it about that all
comers v shall have a free field then
we can take care of the gentlemen in
the trusts, for then the most intelli
gent competitor will get the market
and the little man can grow big, in
stead of making himself big by the
legislation of Congress, and by spe
cial favors from the government. He
can do" that by having Federal laws
thread all this system of ours with
statutes which shall make it crimi
nal to do. what these gentlemen did to
build up their monopolies, and which
will st-e .(to it that the men who do
commit oHense have time to think
it over. in some building from which
they Will not for some time come out.

New York, Oct. 18. "Jack'j; Sullivan,
"King of the Newsboys", indicted with

Herman Rosenthal, tried to unfold on
the witness stand at today's- session of
Police Lieut. Becker's trial, his version

to kill Rosenthal and "frame up"
Becker for the murder. Through him
the defense planned to go far in prov

nothing to do with the murder, but
was himself the victim of a conspiracy.
But much of Sullivan's story was un
told. That part which Justice Goff ad

JACK JOHNSON IS ARRESTED
Charged With Abduction of Lucille
Cameron, a White Girl Federal
Authorities May Take a
Hand in the Case,
Chicago, Oct. 18. Lucille Cameron,
the 19-year-old girl for whose alleged
abduction Jack Johnson, the negro pu
gilist, was arrested today, will be held
under sDecial guard in the Federal
building here until Monday, when she
is to go before the Federal grand jury,
unless Johnson succeeds in getting her
released on a writ of habeas corpus. In
that event the girl will be taken into
custody on a warrant for her detention
until she can be examined for her san
ity. Johnson was arrested today on a
warrant sworn out by Mrs. F. Cameron-Falconet,
of Minneapolis, mother
of the girl. United States Attorney
Wilkerson ordered a thorough investi
gation, with a view to .-government
prosecution of Johnson under the
Mann Act prohibiting ilegal transpor
tation of women from one State to an
other. Later in the afternoon the girl ws
served with a subpoena to appear be
fore the grand jury, the Federal au
thorities afterward placing her under
bonds of $25,000. Before this bond
was fixed the girl had refused to go
home with her mother, and the moth
er, to hold the daughter inv custody of
the police until the investigation Can
be completed, swore to a warrant
charging disorderly conduct. "
Again, later, the mother went befor
Judge Owens, in the county court, and
swore to a formal complaint that her
daughter was insane. Judge Owens is
sued a commitment order for detention
of the girl at the detention hospital,
pending investigation as to . her mental
condition.. It is this order which will
not be enforced as long as Johnson's
efforts to obtain the girl's release are
unavailing. ?

Garden. When he rose to speak there
were great cheers, but the applause
was almost continuous throughout the

raddress was a series of short sentenc

tic crowd constantly punctuated with
applause. Once the crowd rose in the
middle of the speech and began a dem
onstration that lasted for several min

about the tariff and said thit out of

Colonel Relates Most Vivid
Impressions of Attempt
on His Life.
WELL ON WAY TO RECOVERY
Expets to Leave for Oyster Bay Mon
day and Resume Campaigning
Week After Next Feels
"Lively as a Bull Dog."
Chicago, Oct. 18. The vivid impres
sions of Col. Roosevelt when he was
shot in Milwaukee, were related, to
night from the colonel's own lips. Ap
porently well on the way to recovery,
he was permitted toi enjoy a greater
degree of freedom and for the first
time he gave an account of the hap
penings in the first few hours after the
bullet found its mark. The colonel
said that on Monday he expected to
leave for Oyster Bay and hoped to be
back in the campaign, making speech
es again week after next.
"J feel as lively as a bull dog," said
the colonel by way of preface. He
was sitting in a huge leather chair by
a window in Mrs. Roosevelt's room ad
joining his own.
What seemed to impress Col. Roose
velt most strongly was not the shoot
ing itself he seemed to accept that
as a thing of the past, to be dismiss
ed once it was over but rather his
hour on the stage of the Milwaukee au
ditorium when he was speaking with
a bullet in his side. But he insisted
that to make the speech was only
what any other man would have done
under the circumstances.
"It was nothing nothing", he said.
"I felt a little pain, but it was not se
vere. When I stretched out my arm
or reached -for my manuscript it made
me gasp a bit, but that was all.
"It was quite funusing," he went on,
"when I reached for my manuscript
to, see. that Jt lmd-.a hole, in it from
the-bullet, and there was a hole in my
spectacle case, too.'1. " . -
The colonel chuckled as he recalled
the surprise he had felt at this dis
covery. '
"Amusing did you say, colonel?" ask
ed one of his hearers,
"Well," he qualified, "it was inter
esting." Col. Roosevelt showed no indication
that he had felt the fear of death. He
said he had no means of knowing, as
he made the speech he had promised
to make, whether he was wounded fa
tally, but accepted, as a matter of
course, that could go-on until he had
finished if his strength held out. But
when it was all over and he had turn
ed away to go to the hospital, he said,
he found it difficult to keep his temper
when half a dozen scrambled over the
edge of the platform and asked him to
shake hands.
"They wanted to shake hands, they
said." though it still surprised him.
"Didn't they know that it is impos
sible for a man who has just been
shot to shake hands with genuine cor
diality?"
Of the shooting itself, Col. Roose
velt hnd little to sav. Not once did
he mention the name of John Schrank,
his assailant. He talked in an unemo
tional way of heine- shot, as though ne
was discussing the case of a man with
whom he was not acquainted. He
sa'd he bore no bitterness or rancor.
In a dispassionate Way, Col. Roose
velt spoke of his present condition and
speculated upon the chance that he
would have blood poisoning or some
other serious complication.
"Isn't it a curious thing?" he said,
"that, little sDOt?" He placed his
thumb near the top with his forefing
er to indicate how small a snot ne
meant, "can become infected and set
the whole thing back?"
Then he said, there was the- possi
hllitv. the Dhvsicians had told him,
that pneumonia might develop.
Th colonel said he felt no pain at
present. He placed his right forefinger
carefully on his breast to mdiacte tne
position of the wound and said .that
while he saill had an occasional twinge
to remind him of it, he was at ease.
As he talked he moved nis arms
frpplv. although he was careful not to
move his bodv. He Dunctuated his re
marks with gestures, but they were
hot the same vigorous gestures wnicn
he is wont to make.
The colonel still had trouble with
his broken rib, he said. His only ap
parent worry was tnat tne no wouia
not knit quickly enough to permit him
to make a few speeches in the clos
ing days of the campaign. "If I can
get that rib knit so that tne edges
hold,,uhe said, "and it doesn't pain me
to take a deen breath. I hope to make
some speeches week after next."
As his thought turned to tne campaign.-Col.
Roosevelt's manner Chang
ed. Although he had been cautioned
not to forget that he was far from, a
well man and to guard against excite
ment, his face flushed and his gestures
became more vigorous.
"Thev'll have to be short speeches
at first, I suppose," he said, "but I'll
make some good ones.
The colonel nan Bed for a moment.
He set his jaw hard and clenched his
fists for the only time during tne inter
view. "I. ask no quarter," he said.
I is amrrine to see the predica
ment of Governor Marshall," he added
with a laugh. "The Governor has oeen
