Trying to stop War.


 Paris, Oct. i7--The optimism pre-. vaiIing in official circles up to today concerning the ability of the powers to maintain peace in Eastern Europe, was rudely shattered this evening on receipt of telegram from the French ambassador at constantinople M Con stines, announcing that Turkey had ordered the mobilization of her troops in Asia Minor, and tonight 1t is be- lieved that a few hours will determine the issue of peace or war
 This Is regarded as Turkeys an- swer to Bulgarias refusal to accord compensatton for her independence to the powers which arranged the pro- gram in London for the internauonal
 instructions have been harrtedly forwarded to the French representa- lives at Constantinople and Soha to renew their councils of prudsnce, ard undoubtedly the other powers hava sent similar instructions to their rep resentatives at these cities, 'urg'ns moderation on the part of Bpigaria
 The fear among diplomats. however. is that intervention may come tco lnts ana that the Bulgarians in theif 2ree- ent state of excitement may accept Turkey's act as one of proyoeation ana advance across the frontier, when . collision between the two armies would be inevitable and .rreparahie

Iswolsky, the Russian Foreign Minister, at which Premier Clemenceau Nj Pichon, the French Foreign Minister. and Baron Rosen, Russian Ambassador 10 the United States. who is now on his way to BiarritE, were present. the omintoua nature of the situation was discussed. but the, hope was expressed that dl- plomaey migh yet save the day. twenty four hours can be gained, dt' plomats in Paris generally believe that Turkey and Bulgaria can be made 10 see the folly of hostilities.
 As soon as word of Turkeys action reached here, 4Saoum Pasha, the Turk ish Ambassador. called upon Sir Fran. cis BertIe. the British Ambassador. but the purpose of the intervew mas not been learned.
 M Stanoiff, the Bulgarian diplomatic agent fin Paris. did not attempt to een- ceal the gravity of the news. but said | that he could not understand such a move. as he had received a reassurtug telegram in the afternoon from Sofia. which stated that Bulgaria. among other things. was ready to negotiate the matter of the Oriental Railroad with the company,

Precnutionarr sTeaaures.

Sonia, Oct. 17--Sir George Chain. the British diplomatic agent. and Baron von Romberge the German Consul Gen eral. called upon M. Poprikof. the Min ister of Foreign Affairs today, to give assurances that the military measures undertaken by Turkey were only pre- cautionary In character and that the Porte had informed Great Britain and Germany that Turkey had no intention to disturb the peace. M. Popriko1 in reply said that Bulgaria was willing to send the reservists to their homes ie Great Britain and Germany would guarantee the preservation of peace.
 This exchange of assurances had a tranauilizing effect. and the Minister of War countermanded the order call ing out I5.000 additional roserves.
 Alarming dispatches from Turkey have been given prominence in The newspapers here. According to these. 16s.00O troops have been massed In Macedonia The Foreign office. how ever, regards the local transportation of troops in Macedonia as no cause for anxiety. Only the transfer of army units from Asia minor would be constd- cred a direct menace Co Bulgaria. Bull garia has sent a special delegate tc Vienna for the purpose of arranging if possible; with the Oriental Railroad Company.

Paris. Oct. 1.-The French Govern- ment has just received official con- firmation of previous reports of the mobilization by Turkey of the Anato- Han Army Corps.
 This is regarded in oficial circles as Turkeys answer to Bulgaria's rec fusal to accord compensation for the Oriental Railroad, but 1t is believed to make war practically inevitable.
 It Is expected that Bulgaria imn1e- diately will begin 10 push troops across the Turkish frontier in order to se- cure an advantage before Turkey can begin a general mobilization.

PENCHANT FOR SPEED COST
 THIS MAN 4 NATTY FIVE

Lee Alderman is a 'yallery, brown ish" hobbledehoy with a decided pen chant for cigarettes and fast motion, and yesterday morning when he was put on a horse and sent into the city on a message, he could not resist the temptation of ruining the horse's knees on the down grade of the Carter Hin road.
 Policeman Sikes was standing at the bottom, and hearing Lee coming, his first thought was to survey the comet from an adjacent telegraph pole. but he remembered hts duty and taking a firm grip on his club walked out into the road to stop the racing nag.
 Lee saw the officer, bowed politely, and sped on. unable to stop the horse, who evidently thought the going good and liked exercise.
 At the corner. Lee turned to see If the officer had timed him and wanted to see whether he had broken record or not. His chagrin was pitiful when he was yanked from his mount and waltzed off to the city hall.
 Yesterday afternoon in the Recor- der's Court Lee said that he was com Ing in on an important message and did not know that he was doing any thing wrong. for the horse was only galloping, and at that. going at an easy. rocking gait. which in the hot summer air was really delightful
 Recorder Baber told Lee that too much luxury was not good for one of his tender years and that the city would greatly appreciate the indefinite loan of five dollars

NEGRESS, SHOT DOWN, DIES,
 SLAYER ELUDES POLICE


 Despite the concerted efforts of the police and the deputies of the sheriff to effect his capture. Albert Green. a negro alleged to have shot and killed Martha Gardner. a negress late Thurs day night, is still at, liberty. The nlur- der was committed at the corner of Madison Avenue and Jackson Street at about II o'clock Thursday night. and although reported to the police im- mediately they could obtain no trace of the criminal who is supposed to have left this vicinity. The refusal of the woman to give him $e Is said to have preeipitated the tragedy.
 Green. 1t Is stated, entered the house of Martha which she occupies in com mon with several other tenants and demanded that she give him $6. The woman refused to do so and after re- peated demands. Green. it is alleged, opened fire upon her with a revolver, one of the balls taking effect in the stomach and producing death a few hours later. The woman died at St. Margaret's Hospital. where she was re- moved immediately after the shooting, early yesterday morning.
 Several negroes in rooms adjoining that of Martha heard the sounds of wrangling just preceding the shooting, but paid on attention to it, having no idea that anything serious would re- suit Startled by the discharge of the pistol. they rushed into the room of the negroes and found her extended upon the floor. Green had fled.
 Dr. Greil. the city physician, was summoned to attend the woman and after an examination of her wound he announced that she had practically no chance to live. She was taken to the hospital and everything possible done to preserve her life. but to no avail
 Green is well known. having been employed for some time by the Bogacki Woodworking mill, and 1t Is extremely probable that he will be caught within the near future. Meanwhile a very jealous search is being maintained for him by the city and county officers.
