As time passes and the failure of

Additional reason far their quiescent
attitude Is to be found In a proclama

that any Inhabitant discovered con
spiring against the republic ,shall be
Instantly shot.
The royalists "have suffered fur

ly has decided to take active meas
ures against them. During the past
forty-eight (hours 40 of 'the royalls
have' been disarmed. Spain's reluc
tance' to sot against the Portuguese
royalist until lately has been due
jto the fact ,that the Portuguese re
publicans have been In close oorre-
spondeno. with the Spanish republi
cans. . This the Spanish government
could not approve, and therefore was
inclined to let the Portuguese repub

"In default of argument to refute

TURKS AND ARABS WITH
RECKLESS BRAVERY PlAY
Fighting of Fiercest Charac
ter With Heavy Loss of
Life Reported
NUMEROUS RUMORS
TRIPOLI, Oct. 22. The fighting at
Benghazi between the Italians and the
Turks has been of the fiercest char
acter. After an engagement which
lasted all day October 19, the Turks
returned to the charge during the
nVfht. They made a savage onslaught
upon the Italian camp 'but were re
pulsed. In the morning the Italian
forces occupied the city.
The Turkish losses 'were very heavy
and the Italians dead number not lets
than 100.
There are good grounds for believ
ing that the Italian forces at Ben
ghaxl have .been very severely hand
led by the Turks anJ their Arab
auxiliaries. It Is understood that the
Italian losses are -much "heavier than
officially reported. Color Is given to
this belief by the hurried departure
for Benghazi of four warships and
the 'hospital ship Relna Margherlta.
Steamer passengers who went to
Benghazi but were, unable to land, say
that the Turks and Arabs have dis
played reckless bravery in making
furious night attacks on the small
Italian force entrenched there.
There are also reports of massacres
of Christians at Derna and Benghazi
but no confirmation of this ha been
received.

BOSTON. Oct. J. The morning

Rev. C. V. T. Rlcheson... It had been
reported that Mr, Rlcheson would re

.,, Dr Geo. Cross, .who; occupied ' tne

lines of thosght -entirely removed
from any reference to Mr. Rlcheaon'a

ed opinion of Thoa. M. Ruraney,

today that Mr. Rlcheson should re

that Mr. Rlcheson M guilty,' said Mr.

' Mr. Rumney reiterated an' intention
to call upon Mr. Rlcheson at the Jail
for the' purpose of urging him to re

i The opinion that Mr. Rlcheson. will

Mrs. McCrea Must Answer
Charge of Murdering
Allen Garland
ARRAY OF COUNSEL
OPELOUSAS, La., Oct. 22. With
thirty names on the first panel of
veniremen summoned for the opening
of the trial tomorrow morning of
Mfe. Zee Kunge McCrea, charged with
the murder of young Allen Garland
in her home, and with the prosecution
and defense apparently eager for the
proceedings to begin, it is expected
that the preliminaries in selecting the
Jury will be well under Way when
court adjourns for the day.
As the families of all conrned In
the trial are well connected it is ex
pected the court room wil be crowd
ed with spectators, but Judge B. II.
Peavey, before whom the case will be
tried, has announced that women and
children will be barred. The killing
of young Garland created wide-spread
Interest. Mrs. McCrea, mother of
time children, who Is charged with
the murder, was a neighbor of young
Garland. Many time Garland came
to the McCrea home as a protector
while McCrea was away on business.
On the day the young man was killed
he had come to the McCrta home
with a spool of thread, after Mrs
McCrea had telephoned to Garland's
grandmother for It. Several minutes
after Young Garland's entrance to the
McCrea horn shots were heard by
neighbors, who. upon entering the
house, found Garland' dead . body,
lying behind a chair..
Mrs. McCrea asserted that, she was
forced to kill Garland to defend her
honor. - Since this statement she has
maintained utter silence In regard to
the- killing. ' '
' The defense has retained six attor
ney from - New' Orleans, Alexandria
A Oprlouras. E. B.-Bvlsson, assisted
by other counsel, will conduct the
prosecution. . . .-
