Fighting Has Been Con- spicuous For Its
 Absence GERMANY ACTING
 AS PEACEMAKER Despite Many Wild Rumors It Seems That Warlike Operations Are Confined to Blockade and
 Small Captures

London, October 2-From present ap- pearanees the Turco-Italian war prom ises to be the shortest and most blood less war in history.
 Thus far the distinguishing charac- teristization has been the absence of fighting. and with Germany acting as peacemaker, it may be ended before fighting occurs.
 It is concluded that no mediation will be accepted by Italy until she has ac- complished the military occupation of the Tripolitan coast
 After that negotiations will be much easier and are not unlikely to be suc- cessful if Turkey will accept & mone- tary indemnity for allowing Italy to establish herself in Tripoli as Great Britain did in Egypt.
 News percolating in from all points continues to be of negative nature. Obviously Tripoli has not been bonn barded and is not likely to be if the Turks do not oppose the landing.
 The warlike operations are confined to blockade and the capture on either side of a few small vessels.
 It is now admitted from the Turk ish side that Prevesa in European Turkey is not occupied. Italys an- nouncement that she has no intention to carry the war into European Turkey will do much to allay apprehension over Balkan or other complications
 Turkeys ministerial difficulties have not been solved, but the situation gen. erally looks more hopeful.

JUDGE SCORES LAX
 LAW ENFORCEMENT

Montgomery, October 2.-(Special)- General protests against murder, viola ton of the Sunday laws and operation of illegal saloons were voiced by Judge Arm stead Brown of the criminal court of Montgomery. in his address to the Oc tober grand jury this morning. The charge of the iurist was clear and con else in every particular, though positive in every paragraph.
 In regard to murder, the iurst said that it is to be hoped that the carnival of the manslayer has reached it's zenith, and that from now on we shall see a more wholesome state of public senti- ment" The judge referred to England as exemplary in every respect in so far as homicides are concerned. He cited fig ures to show that in America there are r. murders for every one in the mother country.
 ''It is the same old story" commented the judge in connection with his charge against honicides. Lax and feeble law enforcement breeds lawlessness.'
 The judge called attention to the fact that the statute providing for fire escapes should be strictly compiled with. Tt would also be much to the safety of life" he said, '.if we could secure a general enforcement of the law prohibit ing concealed weapons being carried
 With respect to the Sunday laws the judge insisted that the jury should look into the question of whether or not base ball can be legally played in this city on the Sabbath day. With respect to the violation of the liquor laws, the judge stated that the local option laws now on the statutes should be enforced strict ly to the letter. Provisions of the Parks bill. and of the Smith measure were ex- plained by the jurist in detail. in his plea that saloons not licensed should not be operated. Attention was called by the jurist to the new automobile laws of the state. and to the old laws against gam bling. lottery and such practices.

Or -.--::g Leaders Issue Statements Which Show
 Wide Variance DISORDER OCCURS
 IN CHICAGO Yk-,DS Railroad Officials Say They Are Re- ceiving Ten Applications for Every Place Left Vacant
 By the Strikers

Chicago. October 2.-Statements isr sued tonight by railroad officials and union leaders directing the strike of shop employees on the Hartman rail- roads including the Illinois Central, still show a wide variance in estimates of the number of men involved.
 According to Julius Kruttschnitt but 1000 men left their work on the Union Pacific lines.
 J. A. Franklin, international presi- dent of the boilermakers, was equally positive in his assertion that 10000 or more are out
 There is a closer agreement between the estimates of the number of Illinois Central strikers.
 L. w. Park, general manager, es timated that 63 per cent went out Union officials claim the total is close to 90 per cent. .....5.zsz#..
 There were only 1000 shopmen who are members of the federation on the 1S,000 miles of the Union Pacific" as- serted MT. Kruttschntt. "Of this num- Der at least 5000 remained at work and we have applications from others who are anxious to go back to work"
 There was but one case of significant violence during the day when the police were called to quell a disturbance at the Burnside shops early this morn ing.
 Reports from other points indicate that the strikers are quiet and orderly.
 There was no outbreak when the men quit at Burnside.
 It is reported that 200 strike breakers have been enlisted at the Burnside shops and that others will be brought in tomorrow.
 Railroad officials say they are re- ceiving applications for every place left vacant and that many men laid off at various points shortly before the strike was called are willing to return to work under present conditions.
 Violence broke out today among striking employees of the Illinois Central railroad shops at Burnside.
 John Thomas, carpenter, who de- clined to walk out with the other men was assaulted by four union pickets as he was going to work today. He was struck n,the head with a brick and inn mediately was. surrounded by a crowd of ncatfS leo srikets
 Thomas was rescued by the police. No arrests were made.
 Two hundred strikebreakers were smuggled into the big ear sheds at Burn side under cover of darkness, according to. the report of Illinois Central railroad officials. They also declared 100 strikers have quietly returned to work. a
 The statement was made that 800 of the 3000 shopmen employed at Burnside are at work today and that this number Is being augmented hourly. This statement was made by an agent of the railroad.

Strike Breakers Imported

New Orleans, October "A carload Of strikebreakers arrived here yesterday from Chicago. The desks in the office of the freight agent are presided over by apparently a full corps, who, it is as- serted, have been familarizing them with their new duties during the week past.
 When called upon for statements the leaders of both sides appear to be confi- dent of intimately winning the strike, and it is believed that events of this week will indicate the possible outcome of the differences The injunction made per lnanent against the strikers by the federal court has been vigorously observed, a copy is posted in strike headquarters with tine warning underneath signed by strike officials calling upon them not to overrun it's mandates.
 The biggest organized labor event of the week is the scheduled McNamara pa rade and protest of laboring men Wednes- day night at which 1t is expected all the strikers will attend
 Walter Thompson, mill foreman of the Illinois Central, who was attacked Friday night and knocked senseless, had not re- gained consciousness last night late. The city detectives are Investigating.
 Only a few of the striking employees of the Hartman roads returned to work to- day, and these were, it is said, promised promotion and increased pay.
 The Illinois Central's promise to open it's outgoing freight sheds today was nulified ty the failure of the negro freight hand iers to show up. Incoming freight was de- livered throughout the day.
