San Francisco. oct. Tile people OF
California next Tuesday viii vote on TWEEN
tv-tbree proposed amendments TO the state
constitution. The text OF the amendments
and the arguments for and against thein'
prir.ed on the official sheet and sent 10
voters. set i'm nonpareil type, covers a
sheet about SO by q inches, printed on both
sides. and a smaller sheet about l6 by u
inches. In all, there are nineteen hundred
SQUARE inches of solid type, or about thir-
teen square feet If any argument were
needed against direct legislation these
blanket sheets afford IL. Not one voter IN
q thousand will make an attempt TO read
the text of the amendments and those who
do will not b.. much wiser for their labor,
as the text shows merely the proposed
laws. without giving any information as to
the changes made in the present statutes.
The most important Of the amendments
are those which give the ballot to women
and those providing for the initiative, rel
erendum and recall. Governor johnson Is
and has been for two weeks, stamping the
state in the interest OF redirect nomina-
ton amendments. In the course or MS
speeches the Governor has made sharp at
tacks on the President for his opposition
10 the recall Of the judiciary which Is in
GUIDED In the proposed amendments. II is
thought in the best informed circles that
all the direct legislation changes will be
adopted.
While there is some doubt az TO the fate
OF the woman suffrage amendment, owing 10
the fact that there has been an organized
campaign for the amendment throughout
the state, particularly In the smaller towns
and ~ the country districts while the OPP
position has lacked organization. II seems
likely that the women will win. In and
around the city during the last week the
women have waged a war for ana against
the amendment in spectacular manner.
Automobile stumping tours have figured In
the fight. and day and night meetings have
beer held

Constant Reader Tells What
He Missed in Last
Weeks Papers.

HAS the Turk made up his mind yet
that he must hand over Tripon to Italy,
asked Busy Man as he met Constant
Reader last evening.
Not yet, 1t appears was the reply
Authentic news from the seat OF war has
heen very hard 10 get, owing to the strict
censorship established by the Italian su-
thorities, but il is reported that the Italian
warshlps succeeded in silencing the coast
forts of Tripoi with little trouble. and
that when the marines from the fleet land
cd they found the Turkish batteries de-
serted. The Italians at once established a
new government for Tripon. Rear Admiral
Borea dOmo was appointed Governor.
Captain Calsni was made commandant OF
the forces disembarked by the Italian fleet.
Chiefs of Arab tribes adjacent TO Tripoh
went aboard the Italian flagship and gave
their submission. The German Consul as
the senior member of the consular corps
asked Nice-Admiral Faravilla TO assume
responsibility for the preservation Of pup
lie order and the protection OF foreign
residents in TripOl, which had been ADAM
doned by the Turkish troops. Although the
italians landed. it was understood that
mediation would not be acceptable before
the city had been occupied by the nam
expedition Of troops from Italy.
Before the landing at Tripoll was eff
fected the Turkish town OF Prevesa, on the
Adriatic. was bombarded and the govern
ment house destroyed. a Turkish de-
stroyer and torpedo boats were sunk in the
harbor of Prevesa, after which Italian SOL
diers landed. Turkey appealed TO the
powers 10 intervene. TWO Italian war
ships shelled the town Of Reschadie and
the torpedo boats lying in that harbor.
The Italian armored cruiser Marco Polo
captured the Turkish transport Sebah'
bound for Tripon, with troops and am
munition Twelve hundred troops lett
Genoa for Tripol. An trade appointing a
new Turkish ministry was issued; Rechid
Pacha is the new Foreign Minister. The
Turkish feet moved from the Dardanelles
10 the Bosporus. State Department officials
at washington agreed that mediation was
not possible under the Hague convention
at present"

SOME PERSONAL ITEMS.

Nathan Allen. the aged millionaire and
leather manufacturer OF Kenosha, Wis,
and John r. Collins, president Of the
Southern Coal Company, Of Memphis,
pleaded guilty TO indictments charging
them with smuggling jewelry, and were
fined by Judge Hough, in the United States
Circuit Court-Allen $1,000 and Collins
5000. Thus ended the revenge of Mrs.
Helen Dwele jenkins, for whose adornment
Mr.. Allen had bought the jewelsein Paris,
and later, aided by Mr.. Collins. passed
them safely through the customs lines
without the payment of duty. Why Mrs.
Jenkins wanted vengeance on the old adj
mirer who had travelled with her as Mr..
jenkins is still a mystery.
