ULTIMATUM IN GREECE
MILITARY LEAGUE REBELS
 AGAINST GOVERNMENT.
Situation is Acute and Excitement Reigns In Athens-Cabinet. May Have to Grant the
 Demands.

Athens, Oct 27.-Government by ul- timatum took another sensational turn today. Some thirty naval officers sup ported by the military league have ben for some time demanding the dismiss sal of a number of the highest officers in the navy on the ground of incompe- tence, as a preliminary to the reor- ganization of the navy.
 The Minister of Marine has constant ly declined to accede to this demand, and the league last evening presented a twenty-four hour ultimatum request ing the enactment Of an ordinance sus- pending all promotion for five years. the abolition of the post of rear ad- miral. heretofore held by Prince George, together with two vice-admi- rals and fifteen positions of lesser rank.
 The Premier tried to meet the case by promising to submit a bill altering the age limit for superannuation from 65 years to 5S years. The military league declared that this was inAde- quate and tonight thirty naval of fcers. in imitation of the tastics Of the officers of the league at the recent military revolutionary movement, quit ted the capital and repaired to Sala- mis, about ten miles from Athens and not far from the arsenal.
 Although their number Is small, they are backed by the military league and are thus all powerful,
 It is believed that the Cabinet will be compelled to grant these demands. Intense excitement prevails.

But white badges were scarce at the speaking. Little girls handed out cards bearing the sent- ence, Vote for the amendment and save Alabama" A circular containing a declaration of Senator Moody on pro. hibition made in 1881 was circulated on the streets.
 The anti-amendment people were equally busy in distributing enective literature which portrayed the iniquity of searching homes in Alabama.
 With old fashioned ideas as to the duty of the government and the sane tity of the home the Black Belt aud ( ence applauded wildly MT. Bowie's q scription of the origin of the goverE- mental principle of the Anglo-Saxon race that a mans castle was his home and that 1t would be free from search and seizure.
 "The Bill of Rights in your consti- tution." said Mir. Bowie. contains the reserved rights and liberties of Anglo Saxon government. There is not one reserved right in your constitution. but what was won for you by brav- cry, fighting and bloodshed. There is not one of your reserved rights but what your forefathers fought and bled for it. Section 5 of your Bill of Rights, at which this amendment Is aimed, goes back to the days Of Wat Tyler. Until then. there had been no sanctity of the home. The officers could search 1t without warrant and on suspicion. And the officers of the King went to the humble home of Wat Tyler"
 The audience leaned forward and grew still and silent as MT. Bowie proceeded.
 ''The officers went to the home oi Wat Tyler. They searched the house they searched his Kitchen, they search. ed his belonging. And Wat Tyler was away in the woods with his axe at tht humble task of woodsman, but his fourteen-year-old daughter was there.
 When the officers had searched the house they sought to search the per- son of this i4-year-old girl. She broke away from their embraces and fled to her father in the woods. witi his axe in his hand. he hurried to his humble home. At the threshold of his door he met the Kings officers coming

 AER0PLANE.
Mrs. vahdemaa Ascenpsinies wflbur Wright in His 1rip In Gevern- ment's Aeroplane--Ar1ny Of- ncers Apt Pupsls.

College Park, Md. Oct. 27--wlth her skirts tied tightly about her an- kles to keep the garments from fiut- tering in the breeze, Mrs. Vandeman, wife of Captain Deralph Vandeman, 2Ist Infantry, U. s. A., occupied the passengers seat beside Wilbur Wright when he ascended in the govern ment's aeroplane here today. For four minutes she experienced the sensation of soaring in the air, some times as high as sixty feet above the ground. This was the first time a woman has made an ascension in a heavier than air machine in the United States. the Wright brothers having resisted a multitude of feminine importunities for aerial excursions.
 "Oh," exclaimed Mrs. Vandeman when she returned to the ground. Now I know what makes the birds sing
 Leutenants Lahm and Humphreys had so far progressed with their mas terry of the governments aeroplane to- day that just before the closing of the afternoons work Wilbur Wright step ped to the rear and allowed the two officers to oversee all details in the management of the machine prior to their ascension. He practically retired from the field so that the officers might not have to share with him the credit for the flight they were about to make. They made successful flight but after being in the air three min utes the machine descended rather suddenly in a remote part of the field One of the supporting wires had given away and upon hearing 1t snap, the officers had promptly pulled the lever to make landing. The damage was trifiing.
 His pupils have progressed so far that MT. Wright announced his inten- ton today of abandoning them fer several days. allowing them to use the aeroplane at their discretion. The flights will continue here as usual Five flights were made today.

New York, Oct 27.-There was con- tinued excitement in the cotton mar ket today with prices again making new high records and most of the ac- tive months selling above IA Ia cents on sensational bullish estimates of the crops and reports that planters were holding for higher prices.
 Both Southern and Western bulls were credited with being aggressive buyers at times during the day.
 December cotton sold as high as IA AT. and May, IA. .63 during the af- ternoon. Realizing caused slight re- action, but the market closed very steady and from three to twenty points net higher.
 Two prominent Southern authorities issued estimates of the new crop, one placing 1t at 1O,300.0OO and the other at 1O,52O,O0O. comparing with last years commercial crop of about 13,- SOO,000 bales.

MAY BE A BLUEBEARD
POLICE BELIEvE GEBHARDT KILL-
 ED OTHER WOMEN.
The Long EsIand Tragedy May Lead to Clearing Up HsyAtertes--nlay Have Several
 Wfyea

-
 New York, Oct 27-Frederiek Geb- hardt, alias Mueller. the self-confessed Islip (L I) murderer, may have a claim on the title Blue Beard" &C., cording to a statement made tonight by Captain Coughlan of the Brooklyn detective force.
 Two other mysterious murders of women are to be investigated before the prisoner is put on trial for his life. and in view of his uncertain mat rimonial career, the police believe that two, and possibly three, additional eases where women mysteriously dis appeared will be cleared up.
 It was reported today that the 'pris- oner confessed to the coroner that he killed two other women, but this could no be confirmed. The coroner would not comment on the matter, but Cap tain Coughlan said:
 "Gebhardt admitted enough to put several new clues at our command, and we hope to get further admission from him, as soon as we have followed these clues up.
 According to the police, Gebhardt, when sentenced to Sing-Sing for swim ding a New York woman in 1896, had a wife in New York and at least one wife living in Germany.
 The prisoner is said to have ope- rated under six aliases, while other marriages, as yet not proved absolute ly, figure in his career.
 His career, particularly since his re- lease from prison. is being looked into by detectives.
 The inquest over the body of Anna Luther, the German girl, whom he ad- mits having shot, will be concluded on Friday.
 Inspector McCafferty learned to- day that Gebhardt had served a term in Sing-Sing prison for grand larceny and perjury in connection with de- frauding Miss Lena Wessner of this city in 1896, out of $500, her savings on the promise of marriage.
 Miss Dessner answered an adver- tisement of Gebhardts in German newspaper asking for wife with money.
