In the senate the election returns
indicate the representation will be
as follows: Republicans 10; dem
ocrats 8; doubtful 1.
Thus it will be seen that while the
republicans probably have lost the
head of the ticket they have won the
state officers, the state legislature
and two United States senators. In
many districts the republicans have
elected their judges and district at
torneys.
With 12 precincts still to be heard

ty showed majority for H. o. Bur-
sum of SAT. 1t is expected his ma
iority in this county will reach over

mainder of the state ticket which
will receive majorities of over 1000,
it is believed.
There is every indication that the
entire county ticket will be elected
including Fidel Ortiz, candidate fo'
county commissioner, and DR.. M. F.
Des Marais, candidate for county SUI
perintendent of schools, who were
running slightly behind the ticket
yesterday.

The latter lost heavily yesterday

and today suspended operations. The
Americans, German and British have
landed marines to protect the CON

gathered.
In Shang Hal the situation be-
comes increasingly serious. The i'm

er, where the British warehouses are
situated These were looted this
morning. The local police fled on
the approach of the rioters.
The consular body met today and
considered the question of landing
marines, but decided that this step
would be unwise at present. They.
announced that the foreign settle
ment was prepared for self defense
and that the revolutionists must
maintain order in the neighboring
districts, otherwise foreigners must
interfere.
The revolutionists hold the tele-
graph offices on the lower Yang Use
and some of the offices have been
closed. Their managers absconded,
taking with them what cash they had
on hand. The government is report
ed to be without funds.

CAUSED QUESTION TO ARISE
WHAT WILL BE DONE IN CASE
SICKNESS ovERcoMEs SOME
OF THE JURORS?
MAY be A AMENTAL IMPRESSION
COURT ATTACHES BELIEVE THE
MINDS OF TALEsMEN ARE
AFFECTED BY TRIAL.

Los Angeles, Cal, Nov. 9.-The
spectre of sickness in the jury box
confronted the participants in the Nc
Namara murder trial again today, and,
it was said, might lead to further al
terations in the method of caring for
the jurors.
N. M. Bryte, talesman passing his
first night in the dormitory on the
tenth floor of the Hall of Records, re-
ported this morning that he was i'll
and unable to walk to breakfast. He
was taken in a street car to cafe.
While Bryte's slight illness was not
held Of moment in itself, it has fol-
lowed several other cases among the
talesmen in the four weeks that the
trial has lasted. The court suggest
ed that 1t might be due in part to a
mental impression, citing the case of

J. B. Sexton. real estate dealer,
was accepted for cause by the state
at the opening of court today. He was
accepted yesterday by the defense,
making the second man accepted for

other is Chester c. Kenyon, a reputed
capitalist
Two more taIesmen were accepted
as to cause in the McNamara murder
trial today. They are: X. B. Sexton,
real estate dealer, and Clark McLain,,
banker. Howard A. Sweeting, hotel
manager, was excused because of his
opposition to conviction in capital
cases on circumstantial evidence.
With three sworn jurors and one
other talesman passed already for
cause, prospects for getting a jury
seemed better than heretofore. It was
learned today that District Fredericks
had arranged with Indianapolis coun-
sci to act for him with regard to ac-
quiring books and papers of the In
ternational Association of Bridge and
Structural Iron Workers.

The dances date from the time the

given when some brave decides tt

to the tribe, and it lasts about two
days. Only the men participate, paint

The "gift' dance is participated il

is pretty custom, guests being load

TURKEY DENIES APPEAL
FOR ANY MEDIATION
PETITION ADDRESSED TO UNITED
STATES WAS ONLY TO STOP
ATROCITIES.

| Washington, Nov. -Misconstruc
tion of the appeal made by Turkey to
the American government for inter
vention at Tripoli, resulted in the is
suing of statement today by Yous-
souf Pacha, the Turkish ambassa-
dor, declaring that Turkey had no
wish that the United States should act
/ as mediator to end the Turko-Italian
war.
'The call which the embassy made
on the Washington government on
November 4, had for its object to re-
quest the state department to inter-
vene in order to bring about cessa-
ton of the atrocities committed by
the enemy, against women, children
and the defenseIess population of
Tripoli," said the ambassador. ~This
appeal did not imply in any form,
whatever, a request for mediation, as
has been reported in some quarters.
Further official denials from the
Italian government of the rumors of
atrocities by Italian troops at Tripoli
were given out during the day through
the Italian embassy. Three cablegrams
from the minister of foreign affairs,
San Guiliano, were made public by
Marquis Cusani Confalonieri, the am
bassador
The first of these said:
81 beg your excellency to deny in
the most absolute and emphatic terms
the alleged Italian cruelties. The Ar
abs are the ones who are guilty of
atrocities against our soldiers"
An official dispatch denies the
statement heretofore made that Gen
eral Caneva had authorized the troops
to shoot all Arabs, suspected of hav-
ing borne arms against the Italians
1t was stated that many of the
Arabs actually found with arms in
their possession were deported instead
of being shot.
Apparently the state department
has decided to take no action upon
the protest of the Turkish govern
ment, contenting itself with a bare
acknowledgment of the receipt of the
| protest.
Meanwhile state department off
cials still are firm in their convic
ton that the issue between Turkey
and Italy is one that concerns Euro
pean movers alone.
! Further reports of the Italiar
troops in repulsing the Turkish at
tacks on Tripoli were reported to thu
embassy today. 1t was reported tha
squadron of Italian cavalry rnad'
night attack and captured two can
non and a quantity of ammunition
AS to the reported recapture of Dern;
by the Turks, the italian dispatches
state that Everything is in order a

an extremely unsanitary condition. H
