Twenty-tour People Injured
in the Crash.
Of These Three May Dit---a Sham Battle Was
Going on When the Disaster
Occurred.
(By the Associated Prcss.)


Leavenworth, Kan, Sept. S.-A grand
stand erected on knoll on the Fort
Leavenworth reservation gave way this
afternoon during a sham battle by regu-
lar troops, injuring twenty-four persons.
None was killed. Many of those injured
received broken legs.
The stand was put up this morning.
Fully 500 people crowded upon it. There
was a heavy artillery duel with siege
guns. Three battalions of infantry were
using black powder. Some one an
nounced that the cavalry were emerging
from a ravine to charge. People on the
grand-stand jumped up to see them
through the smoke. The entire stand
went down with a crash. The utmost
confusion followed, accompanied by
shrieks of victims 1t was found that
many were pinned down under the
boards.
Hundreds who were walking on the
ground rushed to the grand-stand for
relatives The confusion was indescrib-
able until the soldiers formed a line and
kept all back not injured, or caring for
those injured.
The battle which was at its height on
the opposite. side of, the road was called
off at once, and the soldiers, acting un-
der direction of their officers, began TAX
ing care of the injured. Ambulances
were used to convey people to the city
hospitals and within an hour alter the
accident the injured had all been re-
moved All those injured are alive, but it
is believed three will die.

Umrire Wright's Decision.
fBr the Associated Press.l

Scranton, Pa, Sept. S.--Carroll d.
Wright, the umpire to whom was referred
the five disputes between the operators
and miners representatives on the board
Of Cancellation appointed under the pro-
visions of the anthracite mine strike COM
mission, filed his findings today with T.
c. Nichols, secretary of the board. In
dealing with the question of the employ
ers right to discharge men for any cause
ether than of connection with a labor
union, Umpire Wright agrees wholly with
the contentious of the operators represen-
tatives and declares that the right of an
employer to discharge without giving the
cause of the discharge is sustained by
the, award of the commission. In an
other case Mr.. Wright says that the COM
panies should take back old men instead
of putting on new men in all cases where
the old men are competent and have not
been convicted of or are not awaiting
trial for crime committed during the
strike.

Appalling Butcheries in the
VilIayet of Monastir.
REFUGEES DIE Of HUNGER
The Villages are in Ashes and Between $4,000
and $4,000 People Have Been Slain---
A Huge Turkish Army Assem-
bling in Macedonia.
(By the Associated Press.l

Sofia Bulgaria, Sept. S.-Al reports
from the vilayet of Monastir agree in de-
scrbing the situation appalling. Be
tween thirty and fifty thousand Bulgar-
ian inhabitants are believed to have been
massacred by the Turks and every Bull
garian village in the vilayet has been de-
stroyed.
The refugees in the mountains and for
ests are dying of starvation by thousands.
At present it is impossible to obtain pre-
else figures. The revolutionary head
quarters estimate that thirty thousand
Bulgarian men, women and children have
been killed while at least the same num-
Der of refugees are slowly perishing of
hunger.
In official circles these figures are re-
garded as an under estimate and officials
incline to the belief that the number of
the massacred exceeds $4,000. The Turks
are apparently determined to exterminate
the entire Bulgarian population of the
vilayet.
In government circles here the situation
is viewed with increasing alarm. 1t is
reliably reported that the Turkish forces
in Macedonia number 100000. 1t is con-
sidered impossible that such force has
been assembled merely to crush the re-
bellion. 1t is feared that the Sultan is
meditating an attack on Bulgaria.

Every Walk in Life
Raleigh Citizens Appreci-
ate the "Little Com
querer.

Every class of citizens has sick kidneys.
The busy business man rushing through
life on the run fails to realize the con-
slant strain he daily puts upon the kid
neys. The mechanic forced to assume
unnatural positions, stopping and strain
ing at his work, does not know that his
backache is simply kidney ache. The
clerk on his feet continually, leaning over
counter or desk, railroaders, conductors
engineers, street car men subject to con-
slant jaring, all have backache from the
kidneys. Women at their household
duties boys and girls at play overtaX the
kidneys and give them more work than
they can do. IT'S fortunate thing the
kidneys warn you when in trouble; that
they cry out for help. Don't neglect the
warning. Don't neglect bad back. A
lame, weak, or aching back if neglected
means future trouble, kidney trouble, uri-
nary trouble. Doan's Kidney Pills cure
every form of kidney i'll, cure bad back
and make sick kidneys well. Doan's Kid
ney Pills are endorsed by people you
know Read what a Raleigh citizen says
j. A. Bragassa, baker and confectloner,
of 300 South Salisbury Street, says:
'Doan's Kidney Pills certainly gave me re-
lief. have suffered from my back for
quite while and from the benefit Doan' s

Another Outbreak Prophesied.
(By the Associated Press.)


Paris, Sept S-Offcial reports received
here show that Beirut is one of the three
places which are now centers of great
animation. Smyrna, which hitherto had
been comparatively quiet, is on the eve
of an outbreak. Great excitement pre-
walls there. The authorities are in con-
slant fear of an outbreak but fortunately
they have been able thus far to prevent
an encounter between the Christians and
Mussulmans.
The Salonica advices are also again very
disauieting. 1t is expected that a gen
eral revolt throughout the province of
Salonica will occur next week.
Salonica, Sept, S.-Twelve battalions OF
Turkish troops are reported to have sur
rounded large revolutionary band near
Ostrovo. thirty miles from Monastir.
Fighting is progressing.

position near Lake Aniatovo, in the

O'Clock, heavy clouds overhung the range.
The air was damp and chilly throughout
the firing at the 200 yard stage, and a
drizzling rain fell. During the firing at
500 yards the rain held off but there was
slight rain while the firing at six hun
dred yards was on.
Soon after the work of the day was
ended a steady rain fell
BY far the prettiest work today was
accomplished by Private F. c. Wilson, of
the Georgia team. He was the last man
to shoot and in almost total darkness
succeeded in attaining total of AZ out

Dardingkeller, of New York, and Smith
and Lieutenant Benedict, both of Ohio,
each succeeded in scoring 40 out of
possible fifty at 500 yards. The cavalry
team of the army is using the service

Leicester, Eng, Sept. Sat today S
session of the trades union congress the
following resolution was carried with only
two dissenting votes:
That this congress strongly condemns
the suggested change by Mr.. Chamber
lain in our present fiscal policy as most
mischievous and dangerous to the best
interest of the people of the country and
hereby pledge itself and urges all other
labor bodies to make every effort to pre-
vent such a change being brought about.
A resolution was adopted favoring direct
labor representation. This commits the
labor party to supporting neither of the
dominant parties and has increased the
strained relations with the Liberals.

The Emperor Leads Sham Battle,
(By the Associated Press J

(By the Associated IfesS.)
Halle, Prussia. Sept. S.-The Emperor
today led a cavalry corps, composed of
sixteen regiments, on the Prussian, or
so-called red army sideA against the Saxon
army, otherwise the blues. The $4,000
horses led by the Emperor kicked up an
immense amount of dust on the dry fields
over which they passed. which betrayed
the movements of the cavalry. The Sax
ons who were entrenched and who had
cleverly posted their artillery, received
the attack with the fire of all their ma
chine guns and other quick firing guns
in way that in real war would have
quickly decimated the Emperor's force.
But, the Emperor galloped on in a whirl-
wind of dust, penetrated the Saxon line,
and the umpire decided that the Saxons
were defeated and caused them to re-
treat across the Saale.
