MRS. COLE ANGRY
AT BLISS AFFAIR
Husband Had No Grievance,
She Says-White Also
DiSplcased.

As the many complications ia the
Bliss tarring case come TO light it de-
vel0ps that there are at least two prin-
cipals who are not in entire sympathy
with the manner In which Charles
Marthinson and Henry c. Cole wreaked
vengeance upon the alleged admlrer Of
their respective wives, nor do they
relish being drawn into the case.
These two, It was rumored today. are
James L. White who was present as
Marthinson's friend at the 1ogeing and
tarring, and Mrs. Cole. wife Of one Of
the supposedly aggrieved husbands
Mrs. Cole, who was out OF the city
at the time, was the recipient Of g. letter
from somewhat angry husband Just
prior to the tarring. Indignant be-
cause her name had been dragged into
the affair by some one, she cut short
her visit and came direct TO Washington
Arriving here she found that in the
meantime her husband had participated
in the tarring OF Bliss and had been
party TO the joint statement issued az
teTward that il was on account of
Bliss alleged confession that he had
visited her that Cole had participated.
Mrs. Cole Scores Husband.
Mrs. Cole is said to have informed
her husband rather pointedly that he
had been the victim OF a malicious sos
siper, and that she did not appreciate
the manner in which her name had been
brought into the AIarthinson affair.
whereas she was guilty. Of no improper
conduct whatever.
District Attorney Given, while declin-
ing to discuss the nature Of Mrs. Coles 8
testimony, said today that she would
be one of the most interesting witnesses
in the trial Of the case. Mrs. Cole has
refused to talk, on Mr. Given's advice,
but it is known that she restTains her
SELF with effort and feels resentful
about the entire matter. as Indicated
by her prompt return to washington.
Bliss persists that his acquaintance
with both Mrs. Marthlnson and Mrs.
Cole was entirely proper. Mrs. Cole
says she has known Bliss for a number
OF years, since childhood almost, and
that her husband had no grievance
White Not Pleased.
James i. White Is also said to feel q
certain resentment that he was asked to
the Marthinson home TO witness a tar
ring bee. Bliss himself said today that
White had no grievance against him
and was evidently an unwilling partici-
pant.
'I understand White Is sick OF the
entire business" said Bliss. PERHAPS
I should have interceded with him when
the men grabbed me and prepared 20 IA
the tarring. However. a man never
knows what TO do in case OF this
kind"

Long Life Devoted
To Air Navigation

NEW YORK, Aug 6.-COunt Zep-
pelin has devoted his life and his per
sOnal fortune to the development Of air
ships. The vessel that was lost was the
fourth he had constructed When his
own money had become exhausted the
German reichstag voted him SI25. 600 to
conduct further experiments. and No. 4
was the result. The German govern
menL haC agreed TO buy this ship on
its fulfilling certain reQuirtments, the
principal one being that il remain in
the air twenty-fOur hours and land on
terra firTpa. This had not yet been
achieved

and about forty-five feet in diameter.
The supporting part was a rigid en-
velOpe Of aluminium with sixteen sep
arate compartments for the gas. 1t
was blunt at the bow, tapering thence
TO the stern, where the steering device
was fixed. Underneath were two indie
pendent platforms, eacn carrying a
l40-hOrsepOwer motor.
As many as sixteen passengers have
been taken aloft at one time. SIeepine.
accommodations were provided for the
crew, and an apparatus was installed
for wireless telegraphy.

Turkish Minister Gives
Views on Home Situation

Mehmed Ali Bey, the Turkish minister
10 this country. today in an authorized
interview with the Times, expressed the
opinion that II the European powers
who have been pressing for internal re-
forms IN Turkey would now keep their.
hands of and allow the Turkish people
70 work out their own problems under
the new constitution greater progress
would be made than would be possible
If the new parliament, which IS to as.
semble next November, should be hamp-
cred By outside interference.
Reforms come slowly in the ola
World as in the New World said the
minister, "and under the new order OF
things in Turkey the powers must ex-
ercise patience. and let the Turks them<
selves. through their parliament. handle
the situation. I have no doubt IN tbs
world that the members OF that parlia%
ment viii be men Of intelligence, pa
triotism, learning, and ability and that
there viii be no such unfortunate Incl
dents in connection with the establish-
ment Of a constitutional government IN
my country as has occurred in Rus
sia or in Persia"
Every effort is now being made, said
the minister. TO provide the necessary
machinery for the election Of the menl-
bers OF the new parliament, each OF
whom win be chosen by 5000 voters
The minister was unable 10 say what
would be the first question of impor-
tance 70 be presented TO the new bOdys
Indicating that the people were so over
joyed at receiving the privilege OF a par
lament of their own that they had not
yet crystalliZed upon any particular
measure Of popular reform that should
take precedence in the early delibera-7
tions of that body
The minister expressed his doubt
about the truth Of the statement that
an attempt had been made TO assas-
sinate the Sultan, saying that II IL had
occurred on last Monday 10 is quite
prOba BILE that he would have been in

FEELING INTENSE
At RIVER FORTS
No More Land Attacks Dur
ing Encampent-Action
Taken TO Protect Men.

FORT HUNT. Va. Aug. 6-Owing TO
the intense feeling between The troo9s
stationed here and across the river at
Fort Washington, 1t is probable there
viii not be any more land attacks upon
either OF the two sections This has
been decided upon as a precautionary
measure IN Eiew of the numerous hear-
casualties which occurred last niEht
when the men on the Washington sife
are credited with capturing the Hunt
garrisons.
The feeling ran so high last night
that today one man is in the hospital
suffering with cramps, caused by jump-
ing in the water to wade ashore To the
attack. Several others are nursing
minor bayonet cuts, bruises on the
heads and bodies. the latter inflicted
with stones and musket stocks. When
a newsboy appeared in the company
streets at Fort Hunt this morning and
the men read Of having been zap
tured they set upon the newsy. handled
him roughly, and tore his papers to
shreds.
The close approach to real warfare
last night was waged about the six-inch
light which is stationed on a knoll sew
eral hundred yards from the shore.
Ten cOlOred members Of the First Sep
arate Battalion were stationed Just be-
low this point and at the approach Of
the enemy" decided II outdo Hora-
thus
Instantly the invaders reached for
their bayonets. fixed them and charE-
ed. with the horrible slaughter of one
shirt and two pairs OF Ieggings. Ex-
cepIing the small damage to clothing no
bodily injuries were reported at a late
nOur today.
Last nights engagement has caused
q furore in both posts, each side claim
ing victory In the fight which was
full of excitement and thrill and came
close to being too realistic. The UNI
pires, while they have made no pros
pective deci. don, are of the opinion
tnat Fort Hunt was captured This
the Fort HUNT men deny. The men
at Fort washington are equally en-
phatic on the other side, The strategy
Of the attacking force was perfect. and
everything went off ike clock work
Some of the movements were executed
with remarkable precision. II was this
precision that won the battle If IT vas
won, Of course.
The attack was full OF incidents that
came near being disastrous. One reca
war was narrowly aYerted. and maay
men have bayonet holes in their uni
forms. One peculiar incident was the
adoption of rocks and stones as impie-
nents of warfare. as recorded by some
OF the attacking force.
