TWEEN IS A CLUB NOT A CLUB,' TO BE DECIDED IN

 Question
If Cedar Creek Yacht Club, Raided Yesterday Regular Club Then May be Immune Under Judge Fosters Unversi- H Club Decson-Prosecutor Merritt Will
 Claim it is Not Club

When is a club club? And is the Cedar Creek Yacht club a genuine club? This is the question that will be threshed out in the city court on Friday Oct. 13th--note the unlucky date-when Edward Rink, alleged sto have kept a saloon under the guise of the Cedar Creek Yacht club, and 43 stfrequenters'' arrested in a raid on the institution last night, will be ar raigned in court.
 If the Cedar Creek Yacht club is a club. then Attorney Frederick Bart lett. counsel for the accused will, claim immunity under Judge Foster 8 decision of not guilty in the charge of liquor selling against the University club.
 If the Cedar Creek Yacht club is not a club, then Liquor Prosecutor A. J. Merritt will claim that it is merely an unlicensed saloon dispensing Sum day liquor under club guise. Attorney Merritt said this morning that this will be his line of attack and that he will produce witnesses to bear out his contention that the "club' scheme is merely subterfuge.

ing, and that he relies entirely upon the King group.
 This brings the candidacy of Charles H. Morris, whose fearless and inde- pendent stand against the machine has, won him the support of a vast following of Republican Independents, into a most interesting position. s
 Wilson's strength hitherto has been in the fact that he was regarded m opponent of the machine Now he naively remarks that anyone ought to be glad to get the support of the sen- tire party, and by inference at leas, it is to be said that he expects the King machinery to work in unison with his own.
 No bull whose eyes were blinded by a. red rag was ever more furious than a large proportion of Wilson's formef pleasant position of finding them selves tied up to a candidacy that is coming to be overshadowed by the King influence. They are ready to quit as far as supporting Wilson is concerned. Now where to throw theil strength they do not know, unless Il be for Morris who has openly Tough. the King machine from the outset.
 Over in the Ninth district Wilson's former tadherents are raging. He tried to call off his ticket. The delegates wouldn't be called off, and while they 10 onset the storm or puDl1c OplnlOT that broke on announcer of the themselves as Anti-King delegates they leave little doubt but that In view of the turn of events, they will be equally anti-Wilson.
 Some iudicrous sidelights are thrown upon the contest. In the Tenth a. little tempest in a tea poi has arisen over the fact that Frank H. Day, who heads the King ticket, is said to have turned up his nose at Leonard Russo, who is also on the ticket. Russo is an Italian liquor dealer. Day IS a church worker and has pretty good opinion of himself. It is now too late for either man 10 leave the ticket, but the harmony has been impaired. The statement that King has twelve tickets in the field the ticket in the seventh is not a solid machine ticket

SMALL NUMBER OF
 CASUALTIES so FAR.

London, Oct. 9.-The number of casualties in the great war between Italy and Turkey has resolved itself. today, into the accidental killing of two men and woman during the furious bombardment of Tripoli.
 During the first days of the war every capital in Europe teemed with circumstantial reports of fierce fight ing by land and sea but now that the cable between Tripoli and Malta has been re-opened these reports have been shown to be considerably exag- gerated and in some instances manu- factured out of whole cloth. The usual report reached here, today, of Turkish boats being sunk in the Adriatic with the description of a sen sational rumor that the Turks had sunk an Austrian ship. Little cred ence is being placed here in either re- port.
 Dispatches from Malta state that fishermen arrived from Tripoli sayin,, the town was practically quiet and that the gunners on the ships fred so wildly that the shells buried them selves in the oufskirtx

YOUNG
 DREAM ENDS IN
 SUPERIOR COURT
Louis Ketchell, Aged IS, Wished to Visit Wife He Had Not
 Seen in Two Years
Took a Horse From Local Dealer and Now is Held on .
 Charge of Horse Theft

Love for his wife, whom he has not seen in two years, led 18year-old Louis Ketchen of 605 Norman street, to borrow horse of Charles T.
 Cziller of 133 Housatonic avenue, last Wednesday. and failed to return it. according to such of Ketchelps story
 as was unfolded in the city court this morning.
 Ketchells marriage must have been very youthful romance, according to the age given. Ketchell was searching for his wife, having heard that she was working in the town of Sherman.t It is alleg- ed that he took the horse on Wednes- day, journeyed leisurely up country, swapped the wagon for buggy in BOtSfOrd, and was proceeding on his way when Detective Edward Cronan of the local force captured him in Sherman. It is alleged that Ketchell, mot finding his wife where he sup posed her to be, endeavored to sell the horse.
 l Detective Cronan learned that the
 young fellow was in Sherman. and pursued in a fast automobile. sKetch- ell was brought back in the machine at high speed. At the conclusion of the ride he remarked:
 "Ghee whizz! I'd rather face a charge of horse stealing than take another ride like that!"
 Tn the city court this morning he
 was held in bonds of $1.O00 for trial in the Superior court Being a minor, Court Officer Christopher Finnegan was appointed guardian. He advised Ketchell to reserve his testimony for the Superior court. The only witness called was Detec- l tive Captain Arnolds who detailed a ! statement obtained from Ketchell
