Railroad Traffic
 Tied Up With
 Big Car Shortage
Especial from United Press )

New Orleans, Octs t7-Th0 south ern Pacific shops at Algers are prac- fically deserted and there was no ac- tivity in their neighborhood, today. The strikers displayed little interest in the reports that trainload of etrikebreakers is enroute to the Att lantic coast to take their places.
 Railroad officials are at their wits ends to move cars as complaints in- dicate that there is an alarming car shortage. It is explained that van- dals have been cutting the rubber hose couplings carrying compressed air for the pneumatic brakes. 1t is illegal Ito operate a train On which the cars are not equipped with the air brake. Practically all of the shopmen and repairmen who could mend these breaks are on strike.
 McCombe City, Oct, 7--Striking mem- bers of the systems federation are ju- |biIant over the fact that no sounds of activity are heard, today, from the huge plant of the Illinois Central here. despite the fact that a trainload of strikebreakers have been imported to run the shops.
 The federation men claim that only workers who are accustomed to the shops can operate the big machines and that the railroad will be forced to meet their demands through sheer in- ability to procure men to run the shpps. No violence has been reported today.

Morris is considered an off OK be-
 cause of his .staunch fight to win Tor the Republican voters the rights of direct primaries King is the great pacifier, just now, for he has healed the breach between the Wilson and machine factions.
 Take it from me-" said an old time Republican politician who has gotten out of the game of late, Wilson and King have got the nomination cinch- ed. There may be a fight on the floor of the convention. King may have his delegates lined up to vote for some one else, but the fight. will never be permitted to go so far as to imperil Wilson's chances And don't forget that King will be king at that con vention. t9
 All around town today wilson's workers were kept busy answering questions hurled at them by wild eyed Republican warriors.
 Explanations were demanded as to Wilson's having betrayed his friends, into the King hands. And even late this afternoon there was much uncer- tainty among the men who had been enthusiastic supporters of Wilson be- cause he was hailed as the anti-King candidate. They didn't know just
 Attorney John c. Chamberlain, who hitherto had been heralded as the orr gamization's candidate, reiterated to-. day his former statements as to the nomination
 "I shall accept the nomination if it comes to me- he said. q know noth- ing of these reported meetings and agreements. will say that I haven't seen any Of the so-called leaders. I have had a few meetings with John |. King, but these have been meetings for law matters, not politics.
 Is believe and have believed right along that the Republican voters have come to the conclusion that they want men who will make not only good can didates, but good mayors as we'll But as for having an intimate knowledge of the situation, know very little of what is going on for the reason that I haven't taken the trouble to try to find out.''

Special from United Press

\CpCCAdl lEOII OnlLGQ FIGSS.
 Indianapolis, Oct. 7.-That more 1n- dictments charging dynamiting may result from the investigation of the books Nof the International Associa- ton of Bridge & Structural Iron Workers in addition to those already returned against John J. and James McNamara and Ortie McManigal, is believed here, today.
 In handing down his opinion re- fusing the California authorities peti- tfon for evidence found here to be used in the coming dynamiting trials at Los Angeles, Judge Markey gave as one of his reasons that the local grand jury had not yet completed it's investigations and that facts warrant ing additional indictments might be discovered.
 Special investigators have been working on the ironworkers' books for three months and the results are now in the hands of Prosecuting At torney Baker. ss

 Says Coroner
John 0. Chamberlain s'Stil Waiting for the Cal' Has Not Yet Heard of Unde rstanding by Which He Is Eliminated Has Met King But

Coroner Clifford 8. Wilson. the Re publican candidate who hitherto has ,breathed defiance at the King or ma iseeking the mayoralty nomination an

 This vas taken by some Of the wise |nffes to be a theatrical effect-that the scheme was to arrange a spectacu- 1ar urinary battle that Wilson's fol- lowing might not take offence at Will a0n,s having traduced them into the cap6 ok the enGmy.

PRESIDENT LUTHER OF TRINITY DENIES
 COLLEGE IMMORTALITY
fSnecial from United Press)

 Hartford, Oct. 1.-The latest college president to deny the general prevail ence of immortality at college, recently charged and widely noticed, is Presi- dent Flavel S. Luther, of Trinity, to- day.
 s'These decidedly exaggerated .criti- cisms are dismissed with contempt among us,'' he said. ."There is, alas, I must say, some drunkenness and inn morality It is difficult to speak with confidence of the morals of any body of students. What they do that is wrong is pretty generally unknown to the college officers. I think that these evils, on the whole, are dimin- ishing.''

ITALY HOLDS SWAY
Has Upper Hand in First Week of War, But Turkey, Mobilizing Im- mense Army, May Play
 Waiting Game

London. Oct. 1.-The first week of the war between Italy and Turkey has closed with all the tricks thus far taken by the Italians. Tripoli has fallen, an Italian force holds the coast of Cirenaica, the Italian navy demi- mates the Mediterranean, the Adriatic and the Red Seas, menacing the ports of European Turkey and assuring the safe passage of the military expedi- ton of 5O,000 men that Italy is about to land in Tripoi to complete her conquest.
 Turkey remains inert and apparent ly helpless. She has seen the last remnant of the once great Ottoman Empire in Africa torn from her grasp. practically without an effort to save it. Rent by internal divisions, threat ened with revolt in her ever-turbul- ent European provinces, surrounded on every hand by relentless foes she remains plunged in apathy.
 At the outbreak of the war, grave fears were expressed in the capitals of Europe that a general European conflict might be provoked. Italy's action in attacking Prevesa, a port in European Turkey, was bitterly resent ed by Austria. which threatened to take hand if Italian troops landed in Albania. The storm was averted, however, by the decision of the Rome governm to cease its activities in the AQTldClC. . .t
 The most Interesting news at pres ent comes from Greece. One army corps of the Greek Army has been mobilized and there is feverish ac- tivity on the part of the Greek war Turkey, helpless in Afri- ca, is said to be fixing. to recoup her self.
 Already 25o,9oo of the Sultan's troops are under arms and double this nnn.Der are B-s.ng- mobidsed Profound unrest is. apparent all over the Balkans and a spark may ex- plode that powder mine at any mo- ment with the most tremendous con sequences.
 A new ministry has been formed at but its stability is Ser iously doubted. Ghe Young Turks are to seize full control of the and are strenuously en- deavoring to fan the war spirit of the nation fol political purposes.
 At present there is a Hull in the storm but it is impossible to forecast what the future holds. It is hardly too much to say that all Europe is holding it's breath, fearful that before the sword is again sheathed the flames of war may have blazed from the Baltic to the Mediterranean. 7.
