SITTUATION ACUTE
Turkish Demonstration in the Aege-

Fight. Servja Willing to
Aid Turkey.

Athens. Oct. 21.-The menace Of
international complications in the
situation is more acute
today than any time since the war
began. The dispatch yesterday CT
Turkish troops to the island OF Chi
cos had caused rumor to spread
like widfire through Greece that the
Turks contemplated an attack upon
the Hellenes.
The islands population is purely
Greek and it has been the scene OF
repeated revolts against the Mussu!-
man rulers.
Even more serious is the news from
the Bulgarian frontier. A pitched
battle has been fought between Turk
ish and Bulgarian troops. The fight
ing lasted three hours and both sides
are said 10 have suffered heavy loss.
An unconfrmed report says that the
Greek bishop of Grabena has been
killed.
Ii is believed that Servia has been
ready and willing to attack Turkey
for some time but that she has hesi-
tated because she was uncertain of
Bulgaria's attitude. 1t is now feared
that combined attack by the two
states will take place.

PRESIDENT IN SOUTH DAKOTA.

Logmont, S. D., Oct. 21.-Begin-
ming a three-day campaign in insurg-
ent South Dakota, President Taft to-
day invaded the Black Hills mining
district. He greeted the citizens OF
Edgemont from a platform near the
station before breakfast and hurried
back TO his train to continue speedy
day in the wetern part of the state
The president left Newcastle, Wyo.,
at five o'clock this morning and faced
five stops in South Dakota, after leaV-
ing Edgemont. Custer Deadwood,
Lead, Sturgis and Rapid City were on
the program.
The President began the sixth
week of his trip in excellent physical
condition. Dr. Rhoades, the Presl-
dents physician. has placed his dis
tinguished patient on diet, although
the President himself knows nothing
of it. Last evening for dinner the
chef" OF the car Ideal had prepared
wonderful apple pie with hot fiaky
crust. But when the President had
finished his dinner there>had appeared
nothing but fresh fruit.
Major Archie Butt, Secretary
Hilles, DR.. Rhoades and the rest of
the Ideals passengers hurried from
the dinner table and gathered in Sec
retary Hilles' state room and enjoyed
the pie, while the. President content
ed himself. with grapes and oranges.
Dr.. Rhoades hopes that the President
will not discover his system before
the trip ends.

SELECTING THE
MCNAMARA JURY
Evidence Against the Accused Said
to be CircumStantial Notwith-
standing the Claims Of State
CLOSE EXAMINATION
Slow and Laborious w ork In Obtaiding
the Requisite Number to Try the Case
Against the Alleged Dynamiter-Ort-
come Difficult to Forecast.

Los Angeles, Cal, Oct. 21.--That a
Juror who holds an opinion which
could require strong evidence to re-
move regarding the destruction OF
the Times building, whether that
opinion is that it was either dyna-
mite or gas, is not unbiased enough
TO try James B. Mcnamara, is Judge
Bordwells opinion.
After digesting over night the
Judges action in eXcusing Juror Otto
lessen. because lessen declared him
self satisfied that dynamite was used,
although absolutely unopinionated
regarding McNamara's guilt or inno-
cence. both sides agreed that this was
the ruling that will simplify the fu-
ture work of qualifying jurors.
This is the first time that any in
timation has been given that the
state does not hope to prove Nc
Namara guilty by direct evidence,
and it is reported that it is the direct
result of the action of the Indiana
authorities in refusing to permit the
state to bring the dynamite, etc., un-
earthed in Indianapolis and other
places, to Los Angeles. This action
is known to be a source Of great bitf
terness to the prosecution, which
has had expert attorneys working to
find some method whereby it can SO
to the federal court to compel the In
diana authorities to give up this evl-
dence.
1t is reported that such an attempt
would be futile, and therefore the
State will call witnesses who Will
swear to finding high explosives, etc.
Attorney Darrow and other attor-
news for the defense insist, however,
that it will be impossible to intro
duce this evidence at the present trial.
They say it might possibly be mater
ial against J. ]. Mcnamara, but would
be absolutely improper against the
present defendant
The work of securing q jury is still
slow and labored.
1t was learned today that Reese
Llewellyn, president of the Llewellyn
Iron Works, which were dynamited
last Christmas day, yesterday visited
NIcManigal in his cell in the county
Jail. Burns detectives admit that
Llewellyn gave McManigal letters
from members of the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association, APPROX
ing his confessions and urging him to
stand fast and help the state.
Detective McLaren, the Burns man
in charge of McManigal, is reported
to have denounced Llewellyns visit
as very "indiscreet at this time"
Llcwellyn refuses to discuss his
visit.

SPEEDING CHARGES
DISMISSED By COU RI.

Since the introduction of automo-
hiles there have been but. few cases
before the Police Court of persons
charged with exceeding the speed lin
II or neslecting TO blow horns or
whistles when approaching crossings
or turning corners of streets, although
there are many instances where the
laws are violated. 1t is no uncommon
incident for an automobile TO sud-
denly turn a corner without sound
ing an alarm, and that the speed
limit is not generally observed is a
well known fact. Motorcyclists are
equally remiss, and until some seri-
Gus or fatal accident occurs JOY
riders and other reckless people will
doubtless continue in their reckless
ness.
A resident of this city was before
the Police Court this morning charged
with operating his automobile on up
per King street at an unlawful speed
last Wednesday night. Officer
Scott had cited the accused TO ap-
pear in court. There were two other
men in the auto at the time.
The officer stated that on the night
in question the driver OF the machine
ran it over a square within six and
nine seconds, according to his watch.
The accused, in his defense, said he
was operating the machine at about
10 miles an hour. Justice Cation
took a pencil and proceeded to esti-
mate the speed Of an auto passing
over an Alexandria square running
east and west, and said the machine
would be travelling but a few feet
beyond 12 miles an hour If it made
a square in nine seconds. He said he
would impose no fine in this instance
but delivered q gentle reminder to
the accused that care should be taken
TO observe the laws.
Officer Scott alleged that this was
not the first time the operator of the
automobile had been noticed yiolat-
ing the law by excessive speed, ~fnd
called attention to the killing OF a
dog by the same man on King street
recently. The justice pleasantly re-
marked that it would be relief to
the community if automobiles killed
other stray dogs. In connection with
the above it may be stated the young
officers action in citing the driver TO
appear in the Police Court meets
with the appreciation of a large ma
iority of the community, as the reck-
lessness often noticeable in automo-
bilists should not be allowed to pass
by unnoticed.
Mayor Paff in commenting on the
case said today that the police offic-
ers would be given exact figures as to
the time an automobile should take
in covering a city square, and that IN
future efforts will be made to have
the offending motorists punished.

chest Fortunately, this outrageous at
tack had been perceived by a mechanic
who was walking on the other side OF the
square. He gave the alarm to the po-
lice and the injured cir! was conveyed
to the nearest hospital. She thinks
that the two girls may have been in
duced to attempt her life by some fe-
male whose jealousy bad been excited,
but this is a mere supposition. AS .

.GAUNT AND WORN
PREACHER IN JAIL
Although Seemingly Shattered Men,
tally and Physically, Richeson
Preserves Same Taciturnity.
FEAR HIS SUICIDE
Guard PAGES Before His Cell Every Hour
of Day and Night. Efisy swung
Before Door Of Church Where He
Met Girl.

Boston, Oct. .21.-Gaunt, haggard,
physically and mentally wreck the
Rev. Clarence Virgil Thompson Rich
eson, pastor Of the Emmanuel Baptist
Church, OF Cambridge, Mass, sits
today in cell ~, murderers row OF
the Charles street jail, accused OF
the murder of nineteen year old Avis
Linnell, whom he is said first to have
betrayed, under promise of marriage.
The details Of the story as they
slowly come to light reveal the crime
Of which the young clergyman is ac-
cused as one of the most fiendish III
criminal annals. The motive OF the
murder, the police assert, was to re-
move a troublesome obstacle to Rich
eson's marriage to his wealthy fan
Gee, Miss Violet Edmands, a woman
older than himself, but possessed Of
a fortune of a million dollars.
While the man appears today to be
absolutely shattered, mentally and
physically, he still preserves the same
taciturnity that has marked him since
arrest. He refuses to speak to any
one, and will scarcely even reply to
his guards when they address him on
routine matters. The prison officials
fear that he will take his life il any
opportunity offers and are taking
special precautions. A guard PAGES
to and fro before the cell door every
minute Of the day and night, and the
prisoner is under continual surveill-
ance. Apparently he does not heed
or care about this espionage.
Wrapped in his own thoughts, which
under any circumstances, must be
engrossing enough, he sat all through
the long hours of the night almost
motionless and with apparently no
desire for sleep.
Some of his friends are rallying
to his support, but as an evidence OF
public opinion he will be asked to-
day to resign from his pastorate.
