THIS FEMALE OF THE SPECIES IS BETTER.
PUG|L|ST|CALLY SPEAKING, Than THE MALE

William Martin appeared in police
court today to testify to the puglistic
superiority which it is possible for
the female of the species to develop
and in support of his words he eXhib-
tied a battered countenance to the
court. The female in question did not
deny responsibility for his damaged
visage but proudly admitted her guilt
as she eyed the marks of her fistic
prowess. However she told story
in justification of her violence. which
so moved the judge that he fined the
victim OF her wrath five dollars.
The whole story, cleaned from the
tales OF the two principals is briefly

THIEF APPR0PRIATES
A LADY'S SUITCASE

Local officers are being given a
workout these days, due to the num-
ber OF bad characters in the city. No
sooner had they apprehended the
burglar who plundered the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Earle than their
energies were engaged by another
theft. Last evening a suit case con-
tanning about SIS worth of clothing
and belonging to Miss Emily Abbott
of Walla Walla, was stolen from the
dray of w. NJ. Wolfe while it was
standing at the depot and az yet the
officers have not succeeded in run
ming the thief to earth.
Miss Abbott had come over from
the Garden City to attend the frater
nifty dance this evening and the suit
case contained her party clothes. She
had taken it during the day to the
home of girl friend and later had
sent the drayman to transport it to
the home of her sister. Mrs. Roy
Alexander. After securing the suit
case, Mr.. Wolfe drove to the depot to
meet No. IS and during the few min
utes in which he left his team and
wagon, the theft was committed.
The officers have been notified and
furnished with a description of the
stolen property and believe they will
ultimately capture the man.

Italy First Prepared and
Then Demanded Tripoli of

APPROVED BY POWERS
Sultan's Colonies Were Chosen as
Territorial Loot That Could Be Sc
cured With Less Chances of Being
Whipped by Equal Power.
(By Henry Wood, Rome Correspond
ent of the United Press)


ent of the United Press.)
Rome, Dec. 27.-All of the steps
leading up to Italy's occupation of
Tripoli and Cyrenaica and the actual
declaration of war against Turkey
were most methodical.
These steps began of course when
Italy first decided that Tripoli and
Cyrenaica offered the best opportu-
nifty for the satisfying of the three
motives explained in the first OF
these articles and which from Italy's
standpoint at least, made the acquisl-
ton of an Italian colony imperative.
italy of course saw the advantages
that would come from having this
colony so close to them. She also
realized that these two Turkish col
onles constituted the only remaining
African territory on the entire Med
ierranean sea that was not already
under the protectorate of some Euro
pean power. She likewise realized
that the moment was ripe in Euro
pean politics for her to secure her
share not only of Mediterranean but
African territory. If she was ever to
secure II.
Undoubtedly Italy secured in ad-
vance, II not the permission, at least
the acquiesence of the European
powers to her occupation of Tripoli
and Cyrenaica. With this acquies-
ence secured she at once proceeded to
mobilize the army. station her war
ships so as to protect all Italian ports
and prepare for blockadlng Turkey.
with all OF these preparations COM
pleted, Italy then sent note to Tur-
key, and a copy to all of the powers
in which she pointed out that FOR
years past the moral and material de-
velopment of Tripoli and Cyrena!ca
under Turkish rule and Jagged far
beyond. that of other countries, that
Italy had sought repeatedly to devel-
on the two territories but that the
Turks had repeatedly interferred and
that it therefore had now become
apparent that Italy must assume
military protectorate over the coun-
try in order to insure its future devel-
opment. In concluding, italy stated
that any further attempt on the part
of Turkey to send arms, ammunition
or troops into Tr,poh would therefore
be regarded as hostile act.
At this time, Italy made 1t under
stood that she did not desire the SOW
ereignity of the two provinces, which
she was willing should remain with
Turkey but merely "a military protec-
torate that would enable Italian cap
ital to develop the country without
opposition and without the imposi-
ton of unnecessary cost. In addition
Italy made it known that she was
willing to pay an indemnity that was
placed, unofficially. at 25O,OOO,OOO
lire
In reply to this note Turkey sent
the ship Derna to Tripoli loaded with
arms and ammunition and an attempt
was made to land them. The ship
was sunk in the Tripoli harbor by the
Italians and a "a hour ultimatum sent
to Turkey demanding that in the in
terests of the future development of
Tripoli, both materially and morally,
Italy at once be granted a protecto-
rate.
During these "a hours italy sent
