FOUR BEDS IN

Mormon Presidents Home is Photo
graphed and Looks Rather
Suspicious.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Oct. 81
It became known today that the pic
lures of the interior of the Mormon
temple, which were offered for sale
to the Mormon church recently for an
enormous sum, were taken by G. l..
Bossard, a former Mormon elder, now
in New York.
Bossard was removed from fellow
ship, in the Mormon church about
eight months ago, it is said, following
an attempt to copyright an alleged
photograph of the bed room Of Presi-
dent Joseph Smith. The picture show
ed four beds in the room.
President Smith declared today that
the photograph was not a reproduc-
ton of his bed room. but was pic
ture of a room occupied by his chill
dren. who, he says, had been moved
there following an attempt at burg
larry at the Smith home.
| The officials of the church refused
to buy the picture Of the temple from
Bossard, designating the offer as an
attempt at blackmail.

rumor In the Turko-Italian war but as
to what has actually taken place or Is
taking place there is the deepest
mystery. The strictest censorship Is
being exercised by the Italian govern
ment and no official information has
been given out either at Rome or
Constantinople.
1t is generally believed that the
Italians are in possession Of Tripoli
but with the cable and telegraph SER
vice in the hands of the Italians it is
impossible to learn any details.
1t has been learned that the Italian
cruiser Erente Di Cazour, which has
been reported blown up in the harbor
of Tripoli was not with the fleet. 1t
is thought an error has been made
Even more mysterious are the move
ments of the Italian squadron in the
AEGEAN sea. From Constantinople and
Athens come reports of great naval
engagement in which the Turkish
fleet was destroyed. Mysterious can
nonadings have been heard along the
Greek coast and it Is reported the
Italians tried landing at Preveza and
were repulsed with loss Of fifteen
men.
The only thing certain about the
Turkish fleet is that since the begin
ming of the war no one has known OF
it's whereabouts or actions.
