PEACE IS N SIGHT
THEORETICALLY" ANNOUNCED
ITALIANS AND TURKS CON-
cLUDE ARMiSTIcE.
DERNA SHIELDED BY FLEET:
Many Are Killed and Wounded Dur
ing Bombardment-ltaIy's Army
Of Occupation Is Landed
at TripoIi.

4Berlin:-The armistice between Italy
and Turkey, for which German diplo-
macy has been striving for some time,
it is believed here, has practically
been concluded, although not yet
announced as official"
It is understood that the transpor-
.tation Of the Italian military expedi-
ton will not be interfered with, but
that hostilities in all quarters will
ease. This is considered in Berlin
as equivalent to the ending Of the
war, or at least the warlike move
ments which will be succeeded
by negotiations looking to a settle
mant.
It is regarded as probable that as
soon as the strong Italian army has
once disembarked at Tripoli, even.
the Young Turk irreconcilables will
begin to recognize, as apparently n
Ottoman government already does,
that there is no hope of Withholding
Tripoli from Italy. Then 1t will be
possible for Turkey to enter into
peace negotiations with the prospect
of reaching asless unsatisfactory con
.'clusion than would result from a con-
tinuation Of the conflict.
Tripoli-The fast transports bear
ing a portion OF the Italian expedi-
tionary forces, arrived here. They
were escorted. by warships and &C
3companied by the hospital ship Re
gina dItalia. The Decentralization OF
the troops began Immediately, the
greatest enthusiasm prevailing.
The batteries of the fleet shelled
the surrounding country, which was
swept by the searchlights. Trtpoli has
nothing more to fear from Turkish
attacks.
Hassurd Karamanli is now mayor OF
Tripoli by decree Of King Victor En-.
manuel. He sent a message OF loyal
tx and devotion to the Italian sover.
eign and the communication was also
signed by other notables of Tripoli.
It expressed their satisfaction at
the Italian occupation of Tripoli'
which they said represented the resur.
rection of their beloved country,
which aspired to be once more, as
at the time of the Romans, a source
Of prosperity and pride for the
metropolis.
Derna.-Derna has been bombarded
Hospitals and barracks were damaged
as well as other buildings and many
were killed and wounded. The bonn

BUTTERMILK SAUCE THE BEST
AdGs to Flavor Of Pudding In Far
Greater Degree Than When Sweet
MIX ls Used.

BuItermilk sauce for buildings or
any dessert which lacks al acid. is
far superior to sauce in which sweet
milk is used. A delicious sauce is
made of a cupful OF boiling water and
one cupful OF sugar. one-half cupful
Of good buttermilk and butter the
size Of an egg. The same rule APP
plies to custard with lemon fiavoring.
This is a good way to clean bun
or c~ream-colored window shades: Be-
gin by taking off any trimmings there
may be. washing them in hot soapy
water, then rinsing them in borax wa
ter and pressing them on the wrong
side. Next bake some flour in a dish
in the oven: lay the blind nat IN q
table, dust it with a clean cloth then
dip, a piece. Of flannel in the flour and
rub the blind evenly with it. Take
fresh -four n flannel when soiled.
Polish the blind with a clean, soft
cloth, sew on the trimmings again
and replace 1t in the window.

the handicap of the loss OF its business
district as the result OF the flood.
This, in brief. summarizes the stu.
alton in Black River Falls disclosed
at the end OF an exhaustive canvass OF
the city.
The defective construction OF the
municipal power plant at Black River
Falls-not the Hatfield dams held
by engineers to be partly responsible
for the disaster.
The concrete dixie OF the city dam.
Just completed, wa. laid diagonally to
the course Of the river instead OF at
right angles, throwing the food waters
toward the business section when the
torrent was released. Had the protec-
ton dixie been built across to the side
bank the eddy through which the flood
got its first opening into the bank
where the business section was located
would not have existed.
Two companies OF state militia are
guarding the stricken city against
looters who already had begun their
work.
The waters are receding. but it Is
likely there are many buildings which
are still standing which will have to
be condemned, as they overhang the
water. The water below Black River
Falls is still rising and between Lytles
and Marshland on the Northwestern
road a mile and a half OF track was
washed out. tying up traffic.
A serious problem is the lack Of
stores and loss OF stock and pro-
visions. Only one grocery remains In

NEW TESTIMONY INVOLVES FIVE
FORMER ILLINOIS LEGisLAT-
oRs IN ELECTION SCANDAL.
MENTIONED FOR FIRST TIME
Former Senator Hopkins Private Sec
rotary Names Men Whom He sus-
peeted Of Being Bribed In One Way
or Another.

sChicago.-The committee Of the Uni
ted States senate which is investigat-
ing the election of William Lorimer.
senator from Illinois, resumed its
hearings in this city after a recess OF
eight weeks.
Four witnesses were heard. They
were: State Senator Frank A. Landee
of Moline; Jacob Groves, member For
ty-sixth Illinois assembly; Thomas
Campbell, member Forty-sixth Illinois
assembly, and John M. PETERS, for
merly private secretary to former
United States Senator Albert J. Hop
kins of Illinois.
The four witnesses were adherents
Of Hopkins, who was a candidate for
reelection against Lorimer In the
spring Of 1909.
Heretofore the greater part of the
testimony has had to do with the
votes Of more than fifty Democrats.
Some OF them have confessed that
they were bribed to vote for Lorimer,
and many others have been suspected
of yielding to corrupt influence.
Accordingly, a sensation was Gre
ated when PETERS, who was intimate
with Hopkins affairs and practically
managed his campaign against Lori
mer, tolled on the names Of five Re
publicans-deserters from the Hop
kins camp-whom he suspected OF be-
ing bribed In one way or another to
cast their votes for Lorimer.
These men are: Senator B. F.
Downing, Dixon, ILL.,; Senator George
NJ Mccormick, Alton, I'LL: Representa-
tive Carl S. Burgett. Newman, ILL.,;
Representative johnson Lawrence.
Polo, ILL.,; Representative Charles l..
Feldstack. Irving Park, Ill.
The names were obtained from PEI
fers on cross-examination by Attorney
Elbridge Hanecy, counsel for Lori
mer.
On direct examination Pekers said
he had a conversation with McCor-
mick about a week before the election
of Lorimer.
Mccormick told me he had been Of
fered money to change his vote from
Hopkins to Lorimer," said PETERS.
HE specified the amount as $2,5OO.
He said he had refused the money.
and had then been asked to name the
amount for which he would change
his vote. He didn't say who made
the offer"
PETERS said he had many converse
lions with Mccormick, because he I'M
derstood that somebody was working
on him to change his vote.
II think he satisfied me that he was
going to stick to Hopkins" said PEI
fers.
PETERS also said he understood'that
for the last eight or ten years there
has been a corruption fund at the IL
linois assembly. 1t has been made up
at the end Of each session, he said,
