Now these are being torn down. one

process means that with the new
bridge built farther to the northward

that the Consolidated road will have

POWERS EYES WATCH TURKEY
All European Nations Interested in
Fate Of Ottoman State.

Turkey for many years has been the
bette noir of European governments be-
cause her name symbolizes that endur-
ing bugbear of old world chancellories
the eastern question. What nations
are to divide the territory of Turkey
in Europe should the Ottoman Empire
crumble? Is Russia to occupy Con-
stantipole? Is the Anglo-Saxon or the
Slav to be champion of occidentalism
in the twentieth century? These are
three of the chief questions which. tax
en- together, constitute the famous neal
eastern question of which so much has
been written.
England and Russia are the powers
which chiefly stand face to face On the
question. British diplomacy on the
near eastern question has been mainly
aimed at checking the attempts of Rus
STA to extend her empire and strength.
en her strategic position by absorption
of part of the Turkish territory. When.
ever any phase of the eastern question
Is opened the whole world becomes con-
cerned Russia is interested because
the question affects her route to the
sea and her relations with England, the
United States and the other great pow
ers. Austria is concerned because the
question affects her prospects in the
Balkan states. France is concerned be
cause it affects her commercial ambi'
lions in the far East, her claims In
Africa and her route to the orient.

HELD AS SLAYER OF GIRLS.
Man Said to Have Admitted Crime
Arrest May Clear Many Crimes.


Elmer Carr. declared to be the muir
derer of Mary Forschner and Lizzie
Fulhart, has been placed under arrest
in Dayton, Ohio, at the instance of III.
III. Hollenbeck. assistant State fire mar
shall, and Bert Hullinger, a deputy fire
marshal.
So strong is the web of evidence in
which both Houlenbeck and Hullinger
believe they have tnwined Carr that
Hollenbeck was given instructions 20
proceed 10 Dayton and file aflidavits
against Carr for murder and arson.
This arrest. while having 10 direct
connection with the DOna Gilman
crime it is firmly be/eved by the au-
thorities. who have been ceaselessly
working on the murders of young girls
in Dayton. that Carr may be able TO
explain how bona Gilman was killed.
Mrs. Carrie Middestetter was being
examined by officers of the Fire Mar
shals Office relative to the destruction
of house belonging to a relative OF
hers, and during her testimony she said
that Carr had confessed to her that he
had killed Elizabeth Fulhart. Mary
Forschner's body was discovered by
her stepfather on Jan. % in North Day
ton. One arrest followed another. but
nothing came Of them On Feb. D, or
about two weeks later. the body of
Elizabeth Fulhart was found in a els
farr in hn Of
Jefferson street, Dayton.
Again many arrests took place. but
no prosecutions were instituted be-
cause of the inability of the police to
get the proper evidence.
Recently a fire destroyed a house be-
longing TO Joseph Voges, a relative OF
Mrs. Middlestetter, near Dayton. and
the inquiry held adduced the following
testimony: That Carr had brought the
Fulhart girl to a room i'm Mrs. Middle
stetter's house. The following Sunday
the same program was carried out, but
that was the last seen of her. The
dress which she wore that day, as de-
scribed by the Middlestetter woman.
and the dress which she wore. when
her body was recovered are identical.
The next Monday, Mrs. Middlestetter
says, Carr confidentially asked her If
she had seen anything in the newspa-
pers regarding the disappearance of
any young girl. She replied that she
had not. well, you WILL" he is said
to have replied, according to her testi-
mony. On the following Friday the
discovery was made, and although she
was taken before the court during the
Coroner's inquest, Mrs. Middlestetter
states that she did not dare to tell
what she knew of the case through
fear of Carr. Carr was arrested and
held as suspect, but later released
because of lack of evidence Carr is
said to have known Dona Gilman, who
was also slain.

ROOSEVELT PARTY GETS LIONS.
Three Killed by One Shot Apiece by
Ex-President

Four lions are trophies of Theodore
Roosevelt's camp in the Mau Hills near
Nairobi, British East Africa, and the
two hundred or more native followers
joined with the American party in the
celebration of the unusually good luck.
The lions were bagged Friday, and Mr..
Roosevelt's mighty gun brought three
of them to earth. each on the first shot.
Thus one of the former PRESIDENT
fOndest ambitions has been realized,
and he is proud, too. that the fourth
of the jungle kings fell before the rifle
of his son Kermit. who, however, took
three shots to kill his quarry. Both
father and son are jubilant. 1t was
their first lion hunt and so magnificent
kill was far beyond their expecta-
tons. but lions have been plentiful in
the hills for the last month, and the
English hunter, +. C.. Selous. has been
out for several days laying plans for
their extinction.
Mr. Selous accompanied the former
President, who also was attended by
the usual retinue of beaters. AS a rule
| the beaters go into the jungle with con-
siderable trepidation, but rs Mr.. Roose-
velts reputation as hunter had reach
| ed there long before he arrived in per-
sou the beaters on this occasion were
| exceptionally enthusiastic. They seem
ed ever eager to play part in the first
hunt of the distinguished American.

Three Lake Vessels Go to the Bottom.
Three vessels lost, one of them
with her crew of seven men, and
fourth craft found floating deserted
on Lake Michigan, with the fate of
her crew unknown, is the summary
of the disaster from storm and ice on
the great lakes. On the bleak and
rocky points of Huron island the
schooner George Nestor, of Detroit,
was torn to pieces by the furious gale
and all of her crew of seven were
lost. On Lake Huron the packet
freighter Russia, of Port Huron, sue
cumbed to the waves after her cargo
had shifted and went to the bottom.
The Russia's crew of twenty-five men,
however, escaped in small boats. On
Lake Michigan the Ann Arbor rail-
way car ferry No. 1 picked up nine
teen miles south of Fox island the
big steel lighter Batavia, deserted by
her crew and with no positive evil
dence as to whether they persisted or
were taken off the lighter by the
steamer which is believed to have
been towing her. To these fresh
stories of marine disaster was added
from Saul Ste. Marie with the ar

er Aurania the first story of how she
was crushed by the ice and sank.
and how the members of the crew
