FOREIGNERS
THREATENED
Should the Powers Interfere
Young Turks Might Slay
All Foreigners.

Constantinople, Turkey, Aug. IA
An unpleasant impression was Gre
a. ed here owing to an alleged proc
lamation of the Young Turks COM
mittee that should the powers inter-
vene in Turkeys internal affairs, a
rising would occur which would I'M
pcrll III existence of foreigners.
This proclamation, It is supposed,
is due to report that Russia de-
cllred the powers must interfere II
Turkey failed to crush the movement
in Macedonia; but inquiry at the
Offices of the Young Turk committee
e'icited a denial of its authenticity.
Another interesting report in con-
nection. but one which has not yet
been confirmed is that the Young
Turk committee is determined to IN
sist that the sultan quit the Yildl2
kiosk. completely to put an end 10
the old traditions and prevent the
possibility of coup d'etat by the
palace guard. Under this scheme the
Yndjz kiosk and the surrounding
gardens would be converted into
nubllc park and the sultan hencefortf
would reside in the Dolma Bigtch'
p,lace ON the shores OF the Bos'
phorus.
According to the report, however
the project Is not to be put In force
Immediately.

AGREEMENT
REACHED
No More Disputes Over Fish
cries Until The Hague
Conference Meets.

London, August 1.-THE Foreign
Office, in announcing last night the
conclusion of moduu v1vendi re-
garding the Newfoundland fisheries,
says:
"His Majestys Government ana
the Government OF the United States
unite in regarding the exchange of
notes recording this proposal and its
acceptance as in Itself satisfactory
agreement without the necessity Of
more formal agreement
The conclusion of modus vlyendl
between Great Britain and the United
States governing the Newfoundland
fisheries and the rights of American
fishermen means that friction in
Newfoundland will be avoided until
a settlement of the entire question
before the Hague tribunal.
The dispute arises from the conten
tion of the Americans tnat they have
the same fishing rights in Newfound'
land waters possessed by British
subjects, basing their claim on the
fisheries treaty of 1878 The Ameri-
cans also claim the same rights as
to Canadian waters.

ON HANDS
and KNEES
Girl Crawls for Four Miles
Across the Great
Desert

Los Angeles, August 1i.-Ilarold
Braly, assistant superintendent of
the Skidoo mine, near san Bernar-
dino and Miss Lottie Davis, post
mistress at Skidoo, recently had the
most narrowing desert experience of
the year, and both came near losing
their lives. That they did not is
owing entirely to the heroism OF Miss
Davis, who crawled many miles over
the burning desert sands after their
automobile had broken down and
reached civilized camp, whence a
searching party was sent out after
the unconscious mine superintendent.
Braly and Miss Davis spent five
days in crossing the desert between
Sun Bernardino and Skidoo. This
stretch of land is ordinarily tray-
orsable in an auto in five hours, but
one accident after another occurred
Finally the auto was entirely dis
abled and after futile attempts to
mend II Braly gave up. The girl
worked with him for some time, then
as he became delirious, she realized
that II he was to be saved at all she
must trust to her own exertions.
She started to go to the railroad
| ST alton at wild Rose. Four miles oul
OF town her strength failed her and
she was compelled to crawl on hel
hands and knees the remainder of the
distance. She finally reached the
tc wn, barely alive, told her story
and a searching party was at once
dispatched for Braly. He was founc
| living unconscious beside his auto.
They had practically nothing tc
cat or drink for four days.

Contest at Portsmouth.

Portsmouth. Aug 14--(SpociaD-
Before big crowd at Millbrook
this afternoon Portsmouth won It's
NTH straight game, batting the
Digger pitchers all over the lot and
taking the game with ease. Though
Marion loomed up like a winner in
the first frame IL was soon evident
that WilmUt, who started for the
Diggers was to be no enigma and
the fans were confident that sooner
or later the Night Riders would
break up the game.
They did it with vim in the
Gourth at the opening of which the
score stood two to one in Marion's
favor Everybody took slam and
when IL was all counted four run
ners had crossed the rubber and
the game was safely sewed up.
Plenty of encouragement was hand
od out by the fans who enjoyed the
slaughter of the Diggers. Then
Burk, the Columbus boy, went in TO
stop the locals. He had them on his
hip until the eighth when just to
make II safe they smashed the ball
around the lot until three more had
been added. Then the Diggers who
had tried hard and who had sue
ceeded in sending Tate across the
plate in the seventh, gave up
The batting of Conover and
Spencer and the fielding of Moeller
together with the spectacular base
running of Manager O'Day were the
features of the opening game. The

I$evidence of collusion or fraud, may
do Indirectly what is prohibited di-
rectly by statute. There was no such
