T I CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 4. Russia loomed upon the horizon for the first time as likely to prove an important figure in the settlement of the Turkish problem.

OPEN IN E LONDON, Oct. 4. The Mudania conference between representatives of the Turkish Nationalists and the allied powers began in earnest today following the belated arrival of the Greek representatives. Yesterday's meeting was adjourned to await their arrival. W. C. HUDSON TRIES TO KILL HIS WHOLE FAMILY WILSON, Oct. 4. Sunday morn ing W. C. Hudson, a local tobaccon ist, ran amuck at his home and at tempted to annihilate his whole fam ily. It is alleged that he began by assaulting his young child and when his wife went to the little one's res- his son went to assist his mother. The father then took up an axe and started after the son, who had barricaded himself in his room on the second story. The, father battered in the door and the son jumped from the window and sent in a call for the police, who arrested the frenzied fa ther and locked him up. He is now in jail, having been incarcerated on a lunacy commitment. Polo Cigarettes. "Fifteen better cigarettes for ten cents" is the inducement offered to smokers by the Liggett & Myers To bacco Co., in introducing Polo Cig arettes in this city. Backed by a liberal use of news paper advertising, Polos are being given widespread publicity with the object of convincing smokers that for the price Polo is the best cigars ette value in the market. . Realizing that it is a true indica tion of "old times" to be able again to push a quality cigarette in a dime package, the manufacturers have adopted a lively new slogan for the present advertising campaign. "That's more like it" is the caption which accompanies the photographic car tons of: delighted Polo smokers. It is believed that Polo with catch on instantly, not only because of its attractive price, but because of the widely recognized reputation of Lig gett & Myers for- putting good to bacco into their products. Tobacco , experts concede thatPolo is an un usually good tasting smoke. This is due to the fine quality of Virginia, Burley and Turkish tobaccos used, and also the unusual way in which tne tobaccos are blended. The black and red package is a fit- ting container for a quality smoke one of the handsomest packages that has ever been put out. Nor have the Manufacturers skimped in quantity jn order to put up a quality smoke in a dime package. Every Polo Cigar ette is full weight and full size. Tobacco men: Meadors flies out to right, Gardner singles, Elmore strikes out, Iverson-flies out to right. And the game was over with the iscore standing 12 to 11 in favor of the Presbyterians.

L CHARLOTTE A MALI A, St. Tho ms, V. L, Sept. 19. Differences of opinion arising over a .-ouncil com mittee report on a new judiciary bill have caused a political situation in the Virgin Islands which is causing a considerable amount of local com ment. The situation became so acute ear ly in the present month that Rear Admiral Sumner E. W. Kittelle, re tiring governor of the islands and personal representative of the presi dent of the United States, issued a proclamation dissolving the Colonial Council of St. Thomas and St. John and announcing that elections would be held for the selection of new coun cil members. Admiral Kittelle, who had been ordered back to sea duty as commander of the destroyer divi sion of the Atlantic Fleet before the differences arose, will be succeeded in the Virgin Islands by Captain H. H. Hough, U. S. N. The chief cause of the misunder standing seems to 'have arisen over a paragraph in the council committee report concerning the judiciary, which : w4wbmtt:ifd1te-ia August. The section to which Governor Kit telle took exception was as follows: "We do not deem it advisable for one judge to sit and determine ap peal cases passed upon by a co-ordinate judge. It is to be expected and we kn nv it is the practice for judges of coordinate rank to sustain each other, and especially would this be true here where each judge would be sitting on the other's cases. We are afraid it would resolve itself in to a demonstration of the old adage, 'You scratch my back and I will scratch yours'." MISS LOTTIE SUMNER IN SERIOUS CONDITION Miss Lottie .Suniner, 32-year-old daughter of Police Sergeant L. E. Sumner, was found Tuesday morning in the bedroom of her home at 409 Hammond street with a bullet wound in her head from which physicians hold out little hope of her recovery. The prostrate body was found by a child of one of the neighbors who happened to enter the house about -0:30 o'clock Tuesday, and neighbors entering the home found the pistol nearby with one chamber fired, tho the shot was not heard by any ac cording to reports. It is believed it must have been fired shortly after ten o'clock, judging from the fact that neighbors had conversed with her and seen her about her daily tasks about the home before that hour. Miss Sumner several weeks ago was accientally gassed while about the kitchen range and it is known that the incident preyed upon her mind and its mention by friends was a matter of irritation to her, and this is the only fact known to friends which they believe might have caused the rash act.

Introduction of pure bred American live stock for tlie rehabilitation of Mexican agri culture has begun a systematic way according to Guy H. Hall, director of the National Institute of Progressive Farming.. B. F. Abbott, a represen tative of the Mexican auxiliary of INTRODUCING PURE BREDSK!NMEX;,TEMsimsT the Livestock Registry As.-ocinlion ' of the United Slates at Mexico City, writes that Mexico is stocking her,'1 vast plains with purebreds probably will give Mexico ; greater than her mines and oil wells, and add to the. world's food supply. ''Mexico is a potential market for American farm machinery, but in the matter of tractors there is an anomaly," said Mr. Abbott. "There are a number of tractors in Mexico Pancho Villa has two--but it is cost ly to operate them. This is because the prize of gasoline is so high. With the greatest oil fields i:- the world, Mexico is without refineries and gas oline is imported. 'Govern ment officials pledged that custom house difficulties a; the bor der would be eliminated and freight rates . reduced on all purebreds com ing in under the guarantee of the registry association.
