The union presidents say the men

per cent Of the men viii quit work.

long drawn out

say the workers do not want to strike;
that they have been forced into their
position by the union leaders, and that
a great majority will refuse to leave
their work as ordered.
The railroads are in good shape TO
stand a strike, according to local Off
cials. \ retrenchment order recently

ployes nearly 20 per cent, and there
is sufficient number Of idle men in
all crafts 10 permit the roads to keep

dent Klein, who says the members
the railroads are counting on to fiji

MORE WORK FOR The
blink GUARANTY FUND
CONVICTION AND SHATTUCK
BANKS FAIL TO OPEN DOORS
FOR BUSINESS.

Guthrie, okla, Sept. 29.-The Cit
izens State bank Of Covington, and the
First State bank Of Shattuck did not
open for business this morning, and
are in the hands Of the state bank
commissioner The guaranty fund will
be called upon in the case Of the
Shattuck bank.
Excessive loans on real estate were
the cause of the failure of the Shat
tuck concern, which took the Cow
ington bank down with it. The Shat
tuck bank has been in straights for
some time. Three months ago the
state banking board was called TO its
assistance, and at that time another
bank was organized to take over and
protect its individual deposits.
The First State bank was allowed
to continue business, however, as It
was hoped that It might realize on
some of its paper in time to ward
off catastrophe, The Shattuck First
ital of $4,000 and deposits of $751;
600 and the Covington bank Is said to
have considerable state and county
funds on deposit. The Covington Cit
liens State bank, according to the
opinion of local bankers, may pull
through without any loss and with
out calling on the state guaranty furd.

Strauss Would Intervene.

Washington, u. c., Sept. 29.-The
declaration of war by Italy upon Tur-
key, coming as it did with practically
in official circles at Washington. In
dications are that the United States
will keep clear of the present strug--
gle for dominion nj Africa, If that is
possible. 1t is distinctly asserted at
the state department that the United
States has absolutely no political in
terest in that part of the world.
1t is admitted, however that in
view of the advanced position this
country has taken in advocating peace
in the settlement of international dis
putes, the government can only look
with regret upon this resort to war.
Late this afternoon, the state de-
partment received an appeal from Os-
car $. Strauss, formerly American am
bassador to Turkey to intervene be-
tween Italy and Turkey Mr.. Strauss
application was based upon Article
III Of the Hague Convention, of which
both italy and Turkey were signator-
les The article follows
Independently of this recourse,
the signatory powers recommend that
one or more powers strangers to the
dispute, should, on their own initiative
anp as far as convenient, allow their
good offices of mediation to the states
at variance.
Powers strangers to the dispute
have the right to offer good offices
of mediation, even during the course
Of hostilities.
THE exercise of this right can nev-
er be regarded by the parties in con-
flict as an unfriendly act"
No official statement could be OBJ
tanned fro mthe officials of the state
department as to what disposition
would be made by Mr. Strauss sug-
gestion.
The naval representation of the
United States in African waters dur
ing the present trouble will be limit
ed to the Scout cruiser Chester and
the little gunboat, Scorpion. The Ches-
ter passed through the Straits of Gil
braltar today. The Scorpion has been
the station ship at Constantinople
Both will be stationed at Malta.

TAFT AGAIN TALKS TARIFF TO
IOWA CROWDS.
BANKS ON TARIFF BOARD
Thinks President Should Not Attack
Anyone or Make Party Speech
eS-AslSs Judgment.

Ottumwa, la Sept 29.-President
Taft ended his two days tour Of Iowa
tonight as he had begun it-with a
speech on the tariff. To an audience,
which filled large tent and gave him
the closest attention he has had, the
President, in conversational tone
and in an informal manner stated
anew the position he had taken with
reference to the tariff bills and vetoes.
Mr.. Taft made no attempt at oratory.
lie took the audience into his confi-
dence and stated his case with scarce
ly pause.
The crowd was not a demonstratlve
one. 1t cheered the President when he
began, and again when he finished,
There was an occasional discussion be-
tween the most prominent politicians.
Mr. Taft explained:
Il am no free trader / am a pro-
tectionist. l believe in protective
tariff"
The President was again applauded
when he declared he would recon-
mend reductions in the wooden and
cotton schedules Just as soon as the
tariff board reported on these sched-
ules in December He denounced the
present wool schedule as indefensibly
high, but said the wooden bill, which
he vetoed, was drawn without regard
to the effect 1t would have on the In
terest of the country; It was drawn
without adequate information, and
was largely the work of a single sem
ator Mr., Taft said he felt the coun-
try could well afford to wait two or
three months longer and get a bill
based on scientific data and complete
information.
The farmers free list bill. Mr. Taft
said was introduced as a compensation
to the farmer for what ever damage
he might suffer from Canadian reel
procity lie asserted that reciprocity
would not hurt the farmer any way,
but its defeat in Canada wiped out
the last reason for so slip-shod a
measure
Mr., Taft denounced the cotton bill
which included revisions of the steel
and chemical schedules as piece
Of hodge-podge" that no one ever in
tended should become law. The de-
tailed explanations given of the var
ious bills were listened to with the
greatest apparent interest.
lie apologized several times for the
dryness of his discussion. The tariff
talk was prefaced with a little expla-
nation OF the trip He said he didn't
believe a president Of the United
States had the right to make partisan
speeches or to attack anyone lie de-
,clared he was taking advantage of an
opportunity to get in touch with the
people to explain in person some OF
the acts Of his administrations to rem
der an account Of lis stewardship.

Greece NAV Become Involved.

London. Sept. 29.-In Great Brit.
ian or any other European country,
outside of those of the combatants.
the war between Italy and Turkey
causes apprehension. Damage to En-
glands interests and prestige is a fac
tor in the resultant. The danger IS
how far the Turks will exercise self
restraint and limit their retaliation TO
Italy; how far racial and religious
feeling may excite them to political
activities.
Much the darkest cloud tonight
seems to be in the direction Of Greece.
Strong fear. prevails lest Turkish
pride, and the necessity for the young
Turkish government TO gain popular
ity. may incite the government to
show that it also can play the game of
aggression and demand Greece to
give up her claims on Crete.
British officials are more concerned
over the possibilities of trouble in the
Balkans and Greece than with the ac-
tual conflict in Tripoll.

The Taking of Trlpoli,"

Tripoli, sept 29.-The Italian
squadron which has been cruising
in the offing, came close in shore
this morning. and the destroyer Car
ibaldino, steamed into the harbor at
noon, flying a white flag. Great
crowds watched her approach. After
reconnoitering the destroyer launched
a boat which came to the beach. An
officer landed, proceeded by blue
jacket, carrying white flag.
Turkish soldiers surrounded the
pair and took them to the office Of
the Turkish commander. When taken
to him, he formally announced that
theItalian fleet had been ordered to
occupy the town. He therefore de-
manded the instant surrender Of the
whole Turkish garrison, The Turkish
commander replied that he was I'M
able 10 comply with the demand, and
tmphatictily refused to surrender.
The boat then returned to the de-
stroyer which rejoined the fleet.

War Officially Declared.

London, Sept. "a state Of war
exists between Italy and Turkey, and
hostilities have begun.
No sooner than the time limit fixed
in the ultimatum expired, than, ignor-
ing Turkeys consulatory request for a
period of delay, Italy declared war.
The Turkish representatives in Italy
were banded their passports. The
Turkish commander at Tripoli was
asked to surrender the town. but de-
clned, and the Italian forces imme-
diately occupied Tripoli and Bengal.
Apparently the Turks offered no re
sistance but this is only an assump-
tion, as Immediately on landing, the
Italians evidently seized the telegraph
lines. From the hour of their land
ing, no messages Of any kind have
patches sent to that place remain un-
answered
1t should be noted, however, that
n dispatch announcing Italian occupa-
ton of Tripoli. makes no mention of
resistance, and a mere protest by
the governor would be in line Will,
Turkeys announced policy,
rhe Turkish cabinet, which had
been for some time in service, resigned
as soon as war was declared, and a
new ministry was formed under Said
Pasha, but retaining the former war
minister Ahamed Shefkit Pasha.
Turkey continued her efforts to OBJ
tain Intervention by the powers. In
the meantime. Italy rs actively pur-
suing hostilities. Italian battleships
are reported to have appeared off Say
rna and Saloniki. An Italian cruiser
landed troops at Prevesa after de-
stroying a Turkish torpedo boat de-
stroyer, and the Italian fleet has
blockaded the whole Tripolitan coast.
There are uncOnhrmed reports that
Turkey intends to send an ultimatum
to Greece to abandon her claims on
Crete, and is massing troops on the
Thessalian frontier.
The greatest activity resulted in all
the European chancelIories on recaipt
of the Information that war had been
declared.
1t is expected the various govern
ments will issue the customary neu-
trality notices, and will devote their
diplomatic efforts as far as possible
To localizng hostilities to the combat
ant powers, and especially to avoiding
complications in the Balkans.
