A Thousand Armed Peasants
Assemble in TheSSaly and
Civil War Is Imminent
Troops and Peasants Clash.
TURKS LEAVE THEIR HOMES
Turkey Has Served Notice on Greece
That Unless Her Subjects Are Pro-
tected She Will Invade Thessaly-
Several Turk Landlords Have Been
Murdered and Their Houses Sacked
BY Peasants.

Constantinople, March 21.--In an
swer to the summons of the leaders
of the peasants, issued two days ago,
a thousand armed peasants assembled
in the Karditsa district, in the prov
ince of Thessaly today, in prepara-
tion for an organized movement
against the Turkish and Mohamme-
dan land owners.
The peasants are inflamed because
several of their number were killed
yesterday in clashes with the Gre
clan troops at Nembeglor and Larry
isa. The troops just arrived from
Athens to protect the land owners.
The government today admitted that
five peasants were killed and many
wounded by the soldiery. 1t is be-
lieved, however, that more were killed
than was officially given out.
The situation is critical through
out the province, and it is believed
unless stringent measures are en-
forced Immediately that civil war will
result
Many Turks who own property
have deserted their interests and are
leaving the country.
Several Turkish landlords have
been murdered and their homes
sacked by the peasants, despite the
presence of the soldiers.
This, it is said, may result in de-
cisive action on the part of the Turk
ish government. The Porte has al
ready served notice on Greece that
she would consider such acts of vio-
lence as sufficient grounds for an
armed invasion.
The trouble in Thessaly had it's in
ception in petition of the peasants
to the government, in which they
asked that the land owners be dis
possessed of their holdings, and that
the land be divided among the peas
ants.

New York, March 21.-The fact
that John ID. Rockefeller attended
the Fifth-avenue Baptist church yes.

spiration for much discussion here
today.
Rockefeller Just returned from
the south and II was the first time
he attended services since the an
nouncement of his plan to establish
the giant Rockefeller foundation.
1t is said that Rockefeller was
guarded because several strangers
had inquired for him and had said

Seattle, Wash, March 21.-The
end of the passenger rate war on
Alaskan steamship lines is in sight.
1t is generally conceded on the wa
ter front today that rates will be
back at the old basis by April 15,
following the announcement of the
Pacific Coast Steamship company
yesterday, that the old rates would
be restored April l.
This action is the result of an ex-
pected heavy traffic to Alaskan
points out of Seattle this summer.
Booking for berths and business al
ready blocked out" is the basis on
which an unusual traffic is expected.

ANOTHER
SCANDAL IN
PITTSBURG
SIX FORMER COUNCILMEN CON-
FESS IN OPEN COURT TO RE-
CEIVING BRIBES-IT WAS n
VERY CHEAP LOT.

Pittsburg, March 21.-Six former
city councilmen and one present
member OF the city council today con-
fesed to Judge Fraser in open court,
their connection with a system of
councilmanic grating. The men will
be indicted this afternoon by the local
grand jury, according to the district
attorneys representative 1t is prob
able that they will be given immunity
in exchange for their confessions. The
district attorney recently offered an
opportunity to some 60 men accused
of grating to come into court and
confess their alleged wrong-doings
practically intimating they would es-
cape punishment in exchange for tes-
timony which might implicate more
prominent and wealthier men.
The names of the men who made
the confessions, and the amounts they
admitted they received follow:
Thomas F. McGrath, $3.50.
j. N. Purnell, 5000.
N. F. Savage, $500.
Irwin Rothplets, $500.
William Richly, $10O.
j. II. Sheasley, 5000.
The local grand jury today began
its Investigations of alleged compiled
ty of the so former councilmen of
Pittsburg in a system of graft report
ed to have been revealed by convicted
Councilman Charles Klein.
Klein is alleged to have disclosed
the operations of a great municipal
ring which trafficked in white
slaves. 1t is alleged that money was
collected from inmates of every house
of ill-fame in the city, and that one
former city official has been acting
as representative Of the vice syndi-
cate" in Eastern cities.

and, according to the statements
made by both Mr.. Livesley and the
injured men, it was clearly unavoid-
able. Mr. Teewinkle and Mr. Fend-
rick were driving south on Winter
street. when Mr. Livesley, accompan-
led by his family. were travelling in
the same direction The auto driver
was exercising care on account of his
gas lights on the machine being out,
and only the oil lamps along the side
of the auto burning, but the rig ahead
was not noticed until within a few
feet ahead and too near for Mr.. Lives
ley to bring his big machine to a
halt, and the collision resulted. The
two men in the buggy were hurled to
the road, and the shock rendered both
of them unconscious. They we're
carried into the sanitarium, close by,
where medical attention was given.
Mr.. Teewinkle soon recovered, and,
after a brief rest was able to walk
about, but Mr.. Fendrick as painfully
bruised and shocked, and is stir in
the hospital. Reports this morning,
however are to the effect that no
bones are broken, and Mr. Fendrick
will probably be about within a short
time.
Mr.. Livesley is considered to be a
capable and careful driver, but, ow-
ing to his car being so heavy, the i'm
pact with the light buggy, even while
travelling at snails pace, would nat
urally be with great force. Mr..
Livesley said that he did not see the
rig in front of him until within a
few feet of it, and that, although he
applied the brakes Immediately and
did everything he could to avoid the
collision, the machine could not be
stopped in time to prevent the colli-
sion.

Senators Aldrfch, Hale, Lodge,

Washington March 21.-Among
the first matters that will have to be

tee of the House of Representatives

on which the old committee took no
action.
The 23 measures ipeIude many

by Speaker Cannon because he con-
sidered them bad policy or bad pol

posed rule directing the house COM

to bring in report within 80 days
on the feasibility of establishing a
parcels post. This was introduced
February 81 and the rules commit

it some unpleasant work and for
this reason it is declared the new
committee will have rough shedding

are pretty well recovered from their
surprise at the explosion in the
