New York, Nov. 2S.-oscar Ham
merstein has habit OF getting into
the papers almost as much as some oi
our presidential candidates, but this
time he is before the public in an
unique manner He is being sued for
100000 damages by Miss Frances Lee
because he did not mlke star of her
as he had promised The technical
charge is breach of contract.
Miss Lee was for many years looked
upon as one of Mr.. Hammerstein's
leading singers and was known as the
Texas Patti" Such critics as John
Philip Sousa pronounced her a re-
l-4arkable singer. 1t now seems that
Mr.. Hammerstein told and wrote her
TO the effect that he would make a
star of her If she would let him be
her manager. She trusted him implic-
itly. and deep friendship grew up be-
tween them which laster for several
years. At the end of this time Miss
Lee found she was not star and that
she had lost two of the best years OF
her life, when she claims that she
could have made herself internation-
ally famous
The case presents rather UNIQUE
phase of contract and it will be for the
courts to decide whether it was pos
sible for Mr. Hammerstein to have
made her a star and whether he is
legally liable for not having done so.

nlunition and provisions.
The following day, according to the
news agency, the falsity of the re-
ported attack and rout on the from
tier was shown, the panic was allayed
and the troops returned to their posts.
1t is added that two generals in COM
mand of the troops at Avtovac and

BUDAPEST STORY A DREAM

IN WHICH GREAT BRITAIN Is
SAID TO BE BACKING TURKEY
AGAINST AUSTRIA, A JOKE.

Budapest. Nov. 2s.-Nazim Bey, the
representative in Paris of the young
Turk committee, has given an inter
view 10 The Poster Lloyd. in which he
says
We are not afraid that Austria
Hungary will declare war on Turkey
We are prepared for war. and more
over we have obtained from Great
Britain an official guarantee against
any external danger"
The london View. -
London, Nov. 2S.- Official circles here
are at a loss to understand on what
Nazirn Bey. the Paris representative of
the young Turks, could base such a
statement as he is alleged to have made
in Budapest newspaper. No such
guarantee has been given, and it is
surmised that this is merely an express
sion of optimistic impression created
on an eastern imagination by the pres
ence of the British feet in the Aegean
sea.
1t is suggested also that 1t may be
pervision of what Nazim Bey really
said, published to support the anti
British campaign In Austria, which
seeks to show that Great Britain is
trying to influence Turkey to resist
settlement with Austria Hungary.

Steinheil Case Is Sensation Of

PRES. FAURE WAS POISONED
WOMAN NOW IN SPOT LIGHT WAS
WITH FORMER PRESIDENT
WHEN He DIED-DREYFUs CASE
is DRAGGED INTO GREATEST
SCANDAL. IN FRENCH HISTORY.

Paris, Nov. 2S.-The steinheN case
continues to be the sensation of the
hour in all France. No one ventures to
say where the revelations will end. The
political side looms larger and larger
every day and interest harks back al
ways to the tragic death in Paris in
1899 of Felix Faure. president Of
France. M. Faure died in the midst of
the Dreyfus excitement
The most minute details OF the scene
in the room where he expired I'm COM
pany with Nine. Steinheil are today
fasrantly published by even repubii-
can newspapers. Up to the present
time this incident in the career OF
Nine Steinheil has only been referred
to covertly.- The royalist and anti
Dreyfus organs are demanding an offlc-
! ial investigation into the death of M.
Faure and intimate openly that M.
Faure, as an insuperable obstacle to
the leaders in the Dreyfus agitation.
was the victim of q plot.
Believe Faure Was Poisoned.
They have put forward the old aGi-
tations that NJ. Faure intended to yield
to the petitions of the Dreyfusards ana
sign an order for a revision of the
case and that consequently ne was
poisoned. The only reason to believe
that NJ. Faure did not die natural
death is found In the fact that his
body decomposed with unusual rapid
ity, and to offset this there are state
ments OF five of the best known phv-
sicians of Paris, who certified that ne
died of cerebral hemorrhage.
Thought Scandal Was Buried.
The other story that Nine. steinheil
was present when he passed away
seems, unfortunately, TO oe true. and
great regret is expressed that circum-
stances have now compelled the dis.
closure to the world OF this old scandal |
which the Faure family and friends OF
the former president thought was bur
led with his body.

Punishment Of Kurdish Raiders 10
Primary Desire In Ordering Sol
diers Across Frontier.

Tiflis, Trans-C aucasia, Apr. IL
Russian troops have invaded Persian
territory in the vicinity of Lenkoran.
port on the Caspian sea, for the pur-
pose of Furnishing Kurdish raiders.
This step was taken in consequence of
the renewal of the attack upon the
the Russian garrison at Belesuvar, a
frontier post The trouble began April
IL, when detachment Of Russian
troops from Belesuvar met band Of
Kurdish brigands and lost several men
in the subsequent fighting. The
brigands also suffered. They prepared
to attack Belesuvar in force in revenge
for their treatment by the Russian SOL
diers, and they descended on the gar
rison in large numbers.
Orders we're issued for the garrison,
which is supported by artillery, to en-
ter Persian territory and punish the
Kurds. The Russians in force then
crossed the frontier and destroyed
several villages. They also scattered
the Kurds, who numbered in all about
1000.
According to the latest reports re-
ceived at Tifiis the Russians are still
continuing their advance. The people
of Belesuvar have telegraphed to st.
Petersburg appealing for immediate
protection. Cossacks have been sent
into the districts to preserve order.
The whole of the frontier is in a state
of alarm.
