GIFTS OF DOLLARS ARE
COMING TO The LIBRARY
Members Giving Very Freely
to Institution

The dollar fund recently started
in behalf of the Carnegie Library is
proving even more popular than fist
anticipated, as evidenced by the fact
that within two days past more than
fifty contributors have gladly ayailed
themselves of the privilege of thus
helping the library.
And many others in Americas aud
in the county as well will contribute
to the dollar fund
Even those who are not members
cheerfully aid that splendid institution
with their dollar contributions, and
While it is not at all compulsory to
do so, members are quite willing 70
help the library as we'll
f So popular has the movement be-
come that the Times Recorder has
asked of the librarian permission TO
publish the honor rolf of dollar
giyers, and this will be done Sunday
morning, and each day thereafter I'M
til the amount needed by the institu-
ton has been raised
Every one can give doIlar-just
one good simeoleon-and thousand
of these will leayen up the situation
Amazingly.

new TEST DISCOVERS
MUMMY'S BLOOD
Applied in England it May
Solve Murder Mystery

London, Feb. 24.-Dr Uhlenhuth's
test for human blood is so delicately
sensitive that the blood Of an Egyp-
ton mummy thousands of years old
responded to it.
The test has just been applied in
England for the first time in connec-
ton with the Chaplain murder, staina
on the suspected murderers clothes,
which he claimed were only spatters
vi paint, proving to be human blood.
DR. Rajehman, who made the tests in
this case, briefly explained the pro-
cess:
"A rabbit is inoculated with human
blood, and after a time the serum TAX
en- from the rabbit supplies the ma,
terial for the test. When stain sus-
peCteG to be human blood is to be test
ed. / is scraped off and dropped il
q test tube Or if the material stain
ed is linen, the threads are separated,
placed in saline solution for while
20 give them the needed density and
dropped into the test tube Then the
serum from the rabbit is added and
il there is even a trace of human blood
present a milk ring forms in the tube
almost Immediately
"Serums from a horse, sheep, pig,
dog and OK can be obtained by the same
method, but when dilute human blood
is added to one of these the liquid re
mains clear; no milky ring form
ing"
This adds even to the great value Of
Uhlenhuth's test Under certain con-
dition the older tests did not distiu-
guish between human blood and that
of an OK, say. Uhlenhuth's method
seems to identify human blood with
absolute certainty.

INTERESTING RECITAL.

The pupils of MT. Charles s. Fer rett gave delightful evenings mus ical entertainment at Varuna hall last night, assisted by Mr.. Ferrett and Miss Ella Harrington, contraltO solo, ist.
 Selections were rendered by each of the many pupils of MT. Ferrett on the piano, and their work was a demonstration of the careful training they have received at his hands. It would be difficult to select any of the various numbers rendered, or give special mention to any particular pupil as all work was of the most conscientious nature. Miss Harring- tons solos, with accompaniments by MT. Ferrett were particularly appre- ciated as they lent variety to the evenings entertainment and exhibit ed a voice in perfect control at all times. The hall was filled to it's ut most capacity by friends and relatives of the pupils.
 Those who participated were: Miss Alma Gosch, Miss Cecelia Ludding- ton, Master Joseph Gasso, Miss Ava Clark, Miss Grace Wessen, Miss Sophia Bernhardt, Miss Ella Harring- ton, Miss Margaret Rogen, Miss Re gina Sekerak, Miss Edna Ecceles, Miss Kathryn Bantle, Miss Edith La Breque Miss Mildred Shey, Miss Irma Speicer, Miss Alice Goodsen, Miss Harriet Allen.

DISASTER NOW COMING FAST TO
 ITALY'S FORCES
Danger of Cla h With Austria For Defying Warn ng Against Naval Demonstration
Besides Anti-MiIitarist and Anti Monarchist Uprising is Im- minent
Especial from United Press. }

| NoPCSfef OuII6Q PreSS.) Vienna, Oct. 31.-The outlook ir Italy is alarming. today. King Via tors forces in Tripoli are threatened with worse than the disaster whicf has already overtaken them. There is danger of a clash with Austria. An anti-miltarist and anti-monar. chist uprising is imminent. African news is still meaere. owing to the Italian control of the cables but it seems certain that the Turks nave re-occupied the outskirts of tn: city of Tripoi and are likely to drive the Italians out entirely Reports that the latter lost 5000 killed and mad 1000 taken prisoners are accept ed as true here. Should the Turks blamed if slaughter of Italians fol lows after the brutality of the Italian massacre of Arabs-men, women and children-inside the city, just before the Turkish attack upon it began. How many were slain is uncertain native population was practically wiped out under pretense that they might attack the Italians from the rear while the latter were engaged with the Turks.
 { Whether it is true that the Rome
 
 ditional troops, as the Giernale DItalia, of Milan, asserts, informa- tion received by the war office here leaves no doubt that troops are being gathered for a fresh expedition to Africa.
 It is being done as quietly as pos- sible. since the anti-militarists are so strong that a confession of the neces- sity of reinforcing the expeditions would probably precipitate danger ous uprising.
 The shooting of Colonel Stroppa, by Private Gaetano Masetti, as the 9th infantry was leaving Bologna, for Tripoli, yesterday, was not an isolated act of mutiny. Nearly all the troops on their way to the scene of hostili- ties are rebellious and the utmost difficulty is experienced by the offic- CTS in handling them. Mutinies on a large scale may be expected at any time. Official despatches say his comrades wanted to lynch Masetti The truth is SHct vS,k1espread syra- pathy Is felt for him.
 What especially concerns Austria is the Italian cabinets decision to carry out a big naval demonstration in Turkish waters, in defiance of Aus trials warming that Italian activities must be confined to Africa. Though it is certain such a decision was reached, the Vienna government has not been officially informed of it. The foreign office is understood to have asked Rome for explanations.
 Unless a satisfactory answer is re- turned, an ultimatum will first be sent to King Victor and then Aus tria will resort to force to compel compliance with it's demands.
 The impression in official circles here is that the Italian government has lost it's head and that the gravest consequences may result from its present outbreak of irrationality. The ridiculous ease of the Italian victories at the beginning of the Tripolitan campaign are attributed to the fact that the Turks were taken wholly by surprise. It is believed they are ready, now, to put up a desperate fight.

shanghai, Oct 31-Yuan Shf KaPs emissar1es are negotiating. today, witt the rebel leaders at Wu Chang for "a cessation of the rebellion upon the basis of the reforms promised in yes- 7terday's edict issued by the Chinese emperor at Pekin. The rebels = ncs seem inclined to come to terms The argue that they are certain to win tnelr fight in any event and prefer a republic to even strictly fs-ssted monarchy Moreover. they doubt if the Emperor's promises will be ful- nIled, The sacking and burning of Hankow. with the -slau xhter of Iruu- dredS of its inhabitants, immediately following the cfty's recapture by ffe nnperlahsts and on the very day that the imperial. edict was issued are cited In support of the contention that flle Manchus are not to be trusted

SHALL STREET BE
 PLACED UNDER CONTROL OF WARNER, LAVERY,
 KING AND MONOPOLY:

Among the sspoIicies' which have the approval of Messrs. War ner. King and Lavery, Is one which provides for the entire con- trOl of the streets through a man to be brought in from outside, who shall hold the combined of flee of city engineer and director of public works.
 This policy" to which Coroner Wilson has also subscribed, can- not be made effective without an act of the General Assembly.
 This is fortunate, for the pro- pOsal is nothing more than an im- pudent proposition to give the public service interests an abso- lute control of the streets, through an officer whom they will select.
 The streets of Bridgeport are not as good as they should be. Too little money is expended up- on them and the gas, water and electric light nl0nOpolies, and es- pecially the trolley monopoly, are continually tearing them up.
 But the streets will be worse that they are now, and not bet ter, if they are given into the tender mercies of Warner, King, Layery and the public services.

Boucher made addresses. lThe three speakers received a hearty reception and discussed fearlessly and without trepidation the issues of the cam paign.
 Mr. Donnelly assured the workers that if chosen mayor he would give the city an administration of which every citizen could be proud. He re- iterated that he would not be con- trol1ed or dictated to by any bosses. He was enthusiastically received.
 Mir. Boucher tT odthe workmen that it was their duty to support the Dem ocratic ticket and he predicted it's success.
 Town Clerk Thomas got a big hand and he thanked the auditors. He ask ed for support upon his record of the office during the past year.

Ex-Sec. Forster Charged With
 Taking Big Fee
(snecial from United Press. ]

\op6Clai lEOIIl OIlilcu cSSb
 Washington, Oct 31-With Former Secretary of State John W. Forster present as the first witness, Chairman Hamlin, of the House Committee on Expenditures in the State Department, today, resumed his inquiry into the affairs of that branch of the govern ment. Al
 The charge being probed involves the payment of the famous Ward claim of $36S, ,000 which was obtained by Forster after he left the cabinet. It is alleged that he received one-half of the sum as a fee. The charges in the case include the contention that Forster used his influence as a for mer secretary to divert money from the Boxer indemnity fund for the pay ment of the claim.
 The claim was based on the death of General Frederick T. Ward, a fam ous soldier of fortune, who was kill ed in China during the Tai Ping re- bellion in 1862. The money was obs tained by Forster for his client, Mrs. Georgiana Ammindon, an heir of Gen eral Ward
