KILL AND THEN LOOT.
Chicago Hold.Up Men Give Their VIC
Tins No Warming.

Tins No Warming.
Chicago, Sept. 3.-Without a word
of warning two men were killed and
two others wounded by hold-up men at
the barns of the Chicago City railway
company, Sixty-frst and State streets,
at an early hour today. The shooting
was done by three men who escaped
after securing $1,000. Three of the
men who we're shot were working in
the cashiers Office and the other was a
motorman asleep in the outer Office.
The men in the Office were shot before
they we're aware of the robbers pres
ence and the motorman was killed as
he was rising from bench where he
had been sleeping.
The robbers took no chances, but dis
posed of all the opposition of the en-
ployes before they entered the Office.
Choosing the time when employees were
busily engaged in balancing up the re-
celpts of the night, just after the last
conductor had turned in his money and
left the barns, the robbers suddenly ap-
peared at the receiving window and be-
gan shooting without warming.
Making sure that all opposition had
been removed the robbers then broke
open the door of the cashiers Office
with a sledge hammer and took from
the desk $4,000 in bills. They then
made their escape.
Four men we're arrested three hours
later on suspicion of being implicated
in the crime Thew aa VET have not
been identified.

TURKS STILL SLAY.
Aorianople Experiencing Reign OF Terror
Part of City In Ashes.

Sofia, Sept. 1.-The Dnevnik pub-
fishes report that one section of the
town OF Adrianop.e is in ashes, and
three other sections are burning. The
Inhabitants are panic stricken and the
authorities have lost all control. The.
Turks are committing wholesale mas.
sacres. An unsuccessful attempt was
made, the Dnevnik advices add, to blow
up the west bound Orient ex ress be-.
tween Ushunkistri and Tchernkeskia.
Only the locomotive, however, was de-
rallied.
A telegram from Leren says the rail-
road station at Ekshi was blown up. a
number of officials killed, and the rails
torn up for E distance of $50 meters.
The insurgents have blown up the
lighthouse at Vasiliko, and now occupy
all the principal points along the Black
sea coast. The barracks at Demitka,
near Adrianople. have been blown up
and the garrison killed. Four thous-
and Albanians are pillaging the vii
lagos in the districts of Okrida and
Krushevo. The latter district has
been deserted by the population, which
has joined the insurgents in the noun
tains. The Turkish forces in the from
tier districts have been largely in

DRAFT NEW CANAL TREATY.
Colombian Senators Make Many Changes
In Panama Measure.

Colon, Colombia, Sept. I'm the
issue of the Correro Nacional of Bogota,
of Augsut 8, it is stated that the ma
iority of the senate committee en- the
Panama canal treaty recommended the
following, among other amendments:
"That the French company must
first obtain Colombia's permission to
transfer its rights, privileges and con-
cessions to the United States; that only
the zone necessary fo- the construction
of the canal could be given to the
United States' (this would exclude
the cities of Panama and Colon);
"that all the waters required for the
canal be placed at the disposal of the
United States, but not made their ex-
elusive property; that no mixed trib-
unals be allowed; that the United
States laws be imperative at Panama.
and that fixed time be given to COM
plete the canal, failing which the con-
cessien would revert to Colombia
It is learned here that prominent
politicians are endeavoring to induce
congress to issue law of authorizations
to the president, which would specify
that Colombia agrees on principle to
negotiate with the United States, and
that new canal treaty be made by a
plural committee, in which all political
parties would be represented.

RIVAL TO BIG TRUST.
cattlemen Will Establish a Large Pack
ing Plant at Kansas City.

Kanss City, Mo-, Sept. 3.-Twenty-
five stockmen from different parts of
the Western grass country met in this
city today and arranged to perfect the
organization of packing company to
compete with the alleged packers trust.
The new company was named the Inde-
pendent packing company. Articles
of incorporation will be drawn up to-
morrow and signed at meeting to be
held tomorrow afternoon. The COM
pany will have capital stock of $5,-
900 900, and will be incorporated under
the laws of Arizona. OF the total cap
italization, 81 per cent will be SO dis
posed of as to be held in escrow by
the board of directors of the company.
This will assure stockmen who will in
terest themselves in the plan that the
company will always be controlled oy,
stock interests. The rest of the stock
will be sold to stockmen, if possible,
although no purchaser will be barred.
The division of stock, as decided
upon today, was made to prevent any
possibility OF the alleged packers trust
gaining control of the new independent
company. Two million of the stock
will be issued at first. The rest will
be put out later. Formerly it was the
plan to include the United States pack
ing comapny, of Pueblo, Colo., in the
scheme. Now it is predicted on good
authority that the Pueblo plant will
never be built, but that its capitaliza-
tion of more than s. 800, 900 will either
be transferred to the Independent pack
ing company or be allowed to revert
back to the stockmen W no subscribed it.
Charles F. Martin, secretary of the
National livestock association, who was
one of the promoters OF the United
States packing company and stock
holder, is in Kansas City promoting
the organization of the independents
packing company. The Independent
packing company will build one plant
in the Missouri valley, but the exact
location has not yet been decided upon.
1t is to be in operation in the fall of
next year. Another plant will be built
later, probably in Texas.

WARAPPEARS SURE
TURKEY AND BULGARIA MAY CLASH
AT ANY MOMENT.
Present Conditions Will Force This Step
Neither Nation Is Expected to De.
clare Hostilities, But the knowing
Ones Hold That Only Miracle Can
Prevent Them.

Sofia. Sept. 2.-In both official and
revolutionary circles the opinion is
freely held that war between Bulgaria
and Turkey is imminent. and can be
averted by nothing short of a miracle.
1t is not expected either government
will formally declare hostilities, but
that the prevailing conditions will force
on war.
There is no question that large num-
bers of insurgents have recently crossed
the frontier. An extensive outbreak in
Northern Macedonia ia probable at any
time.
The Autonomy prints a telegram
from Constantinople declaring that the
sultan, influenced by the consuis of
Germany now favors war with Bulgaria.
The Turks here, however, take an
optimistic view, asserting that there is
no danger of war, as Turkey does not
desire one, and Prince Ferdinand and
the present Bulgarian government are
not in position to force hostilities.
The Bulgarian agent at Uskub re-
ports that detachments of Turkish
troops sent to garrison the small towns
in that vilayet have spread destruction
along their route; the villagers have
been robbed and beaten, the women as.
saulted and the Christian population
subjected to every conceivable outrage.
The local authorities appear to be help
less to stop the atrocities. At the viii
lage of Rachme, six miles from Uskub,
the soldiers attacked all the peasants
without the gendarmes interfering on
behalf of the latter.
The Bulgarian agent specifies similar
excesses in many villages, and the po-
sition of the Bulgarian residents is re-
ported to be terrible, as the cruelties-
committed by the Turkish authorities
exceeded all limits. Up to O'Clock
this evening Prince Ferdinand had not
arrived in Sofia, and the court officials
here declare they are without informa-
tion as to his movements.

HARD ON FOREIGNERS.
Venezuelan Government Furnishes All
Who May Present Claims.

Who May Present Claims.
Willemstad, Island of Curacao, Sept.
2.-Harsh justice is being meted out to
foreigners residing in the interior of
Venezuela, where the local authorities
are hunting down all foreigners who
dare to present claims against Venezu-
ella in accordance with the recent pro-
tocol.
Near Coroa, local tribunal refused
to accept the testimony of five Italians.
On the latter insisting on rendering
their depositions, three were arrested
and thrown into Jail. Two of them
attempted to escape and were fred up
on, one being killed. The Venezuelan
government does not deny this occur
renee, but is doing all it GAN to pre-
vent repetition.
1t is learned on good authority that
LISTERS sent to foreigners from the Ital.
ian and other legations instructing
them to send in their claims were
seized in the posts SO as to prevent the
claims from arriving at Caracas in due
time.

Englishmen Will Pay Expenses of Five

London. Sept. IA cable dispatch
was sent to Sir Thomas Upton today
offering to guarantee the expenses if he
will agree for series of five races be-
tween Reliance and SHAMROCK III
with their crews exchanged.
In approving of Sir Thomas determ-
ination not to challenge again for the
Americas cup, the Globe this afternoon
voices the despair which marks all the
comment on the cup racing, saying:
"Ihere comes a time when constant
and inevitable defeat wears even the
most enthusiastic, and Sir Thomas is
we'll advised to relinquish the struggle
while his pluck is SO generally recog-
nized and before his failures have be-
come jest. While the American
yacht builders are 80 superior to their
English rivals we are not likely to re-
gain the cup"

There is about so per cent more

crop, as it is better this year than it
has been for many years, but for want
Of cattle-buyers There have been no
buyers at all in here this year, which is

TO FIX THE BORDER.
Alaskan Commission Arrives in London
Canadians are There Also.

Canadians are There Also.
London, Sept. Secretary of War
Elihu Root ex-secretary of State
John W. Foster, Hannis Taylor and
Judge John M. Dickinson arrived at
Liverpool: on the steamer Celtic today
for the meetings of the Alaskan Bound
ary Commission, which will open in
London September 8.
The commissioners are already famil-
lar with the facts of the case, which
we're fled several months ago. At the
first meeting of the comm issioners next
Thursday, the Americans and Canadians
will submit their briefs which will be
a condensation of the facts and argu-
ments regarding the Interpretation of
the treaty. The Commission will then
announce the day on which the oral
arguments will be heard.
The documents have not vet been
made public, but the Associated Press
correspondent learns that the whole
controversy centers upon Canada's
efforts to acquire an outlet to the sea.
It is known authoritativeIy that the
Canadian agent asserts that under the
Russo British treaty of 1925 the line
properly crosses numerous inlets, in
cluding the headwaters of the Lynn
canal. The contention seems to be
that the inlets less than six miles wide
situated in the disputed region belong
to Canada.
United States Consul Foster vigorous.
ly opposes this view holding that the
treaty clearly places the line 80 miles
inland, following the sinuosities of the
coast, thus separating Canada from all
the arms of the ocean and putting For-
cupine creek and the gold district un-
der American Jurisdiction. The Amer
ican representatives are confident that
their position is unassailable.

Brick Supply Equals Demand.

The force of workmen has complet-

bricks, and now the supply of material
is sufficient to keep construction work
in progress at the penitentiary, reform
school and asylum. At each of these
places the new buildings and addi-
tions are under construction Super
intendent James says that although the
contract for the construction of an ex-
ecution chamber at the prison does not
require it's completion before January
1, the building will be ready for use
before that time, and, so far as he can
see now, it will be ready before the
date of any hanging now in prospect.

arately or together at will. Captain
