TO UNCLE SAM
Turkey Asks United states to Stop
Italian Atrocities in TripoH.

Washington, Nov. 6.-The so-calIed
Italian barbar1ties in TripOn finally
have been brought officially to the at
tention of the American government in
such form that some declaration of the
position Of the state department in the
matter now is expected.
Tie subject was preached first in the
course of a verbal statement by the
drkish ambassador to Acting Secre-
tary Adee and later in the day in the
shape of letter.
By order of his government, the am
bassador appealed to the United States
to exert itself to put a stop to prac-
tees that he declared, were in viola
ton of the rules of warfare and in con-
travention Of The Hague convention
to which the United States and Italy
are parties.
The ambassadors note was based
upon a cablegram from the Turkish
minister for foreign affairs, of which
the following is j cCpy:
your excellency has heard the news,
unfortunately confirmed of WHOLESALE ex-
ecutions OF a great number of inhabit-
ants Of Tripoli, perpetrated daily by
the Italian military authorities.
THE eight of ali able bodied citizens
to fight for the supreme defense of his
invaded home is undeniabIe. It con-
fers on the said citizens the character
of bellig erents and obliges the enen1 J
to respect the lives of those amongst
them who fall into their hands. But
the lLallanS are Violating not only LrG
sacred principle of modern law of ma
lions, but also the most elementary
rules Of civilization and humanity. In
shooting down the natives who have
properly enlisted and even the innocent
women and children, on mere suSpic-
ion-not to mention those deported by
thousands.
These acts are. moreover, contrary
to the engagements pledged by Italy
herself at the second conference OF
The Hague in the convention relating
to the laws and customs Of war which
places the population and the belliger-
ents under the safeguard and under
the protection of the laws of humane
ty and the exigencies of the public con-
science.
I, therefore. beg you to protest in
the most energetic manner to the gov
eminent to which you are accredited
for such crimes against humanity COM
raitted by the Italians the sad spectacle
of which offers a striking contrast with
the efforts. crowned with success. and

Mrs. VermiIya Formally Charged With
Murder and Committed.

Chicago, Nov. 6.-Mrs. Louise Yer
milya, charged with the murder OF
Policeman Arthur Bissonette, was for
mally placed under arrest today. She

preliminary hearing held in her home.
After a debate, the hearing was post
poned until November Is, and a nit
timus issued ordering her committed
to the county jail hospital The hear
ing was held in Mrs. Vermilya's home
owing to her illness, Judge Walker and
the court attaches crowding into the
little bedroom. She manifested little
interest in the proceedings, languidly
answering questions.
Poison is expected to be found in the
at the home of Mrs. Vermilya, accord
ing to Coroner Hoffman, who returned
last night from North Henderson,
where Smiths body had been ex-
humed.
7 don't want to be unfair" he said,
'sbut / will be greatly surprised if the
chemical tests do not reveal arsenic.
The color of the liver is wrong; it is
the same color that was found in Bis
sonette's liver. In fact the conditions
are almost identical and I am sure the
dark greenish color we found means
arsenic"
So convinced is Coroner Hoffman
that Smiths liver will show arsenic
that he said he would begin prepare
lions at once for the exhumatton of
the body of Frank Brinkamp, son OF
Mrs Vermilya, and her first husband,

BEAT HIS WIFE.
Charge Brought Against Police
man Palmer Today.
She L. Accordingly Granted a
Divorce.

Because he beat and cursed her and
charged her with fondness for other
men, Pearl Palmer has been awarded a
divorce from Patrolman Robert Palmer,
a member of the Topeka police force.
This is the second time that Palmer and
his wife have been married and the sec
ond time that they have disagreed and
taken their troubles to the courts
Four years ago Palmer himself became
dissatisfied and filed suit for a divorce.
he was peeVed because his wife didn't

ne said she didn't always sweep the
tIoors cream. Ihat Mrs Palmer spent
too much time in the company of other
men was another source Of grief on the
part Of the policeman He was given a
months later decided he didn't want it
and Palmer and his wife were married
again.
This time Mrs. Palmer said, the trou-
bic was all one sided. Her blue coated
guardian of the peace carried home an
and she became the butt of all his Ill
feelings and groucheS. Sometimes the big
policeman beat his wife, it was charged,
and at other times he just sWore at her
and charged her with things that the
Wife said were not true. So Mrs. Palmer
drew a decree, custody of the two chill
dren and permission of the court that her
companion can do his own cooking in the
future.
While Mrs. Palmer was busy telling
Judge Whitcomb of the life of a police
man S wife, Salue Sutherland was relat-
ing her marital woes to Judge Dana.
In the Sutherland home there has been
much trouble, the wife stated. She said
that Bert Sutherland, her husband, was
so abusive and cruel she just couldn't live
with him. The wife testified that she be-
Eeved she was in real danger If she lived
with the man and wanted the court to
make iron clad provisions to protect her.
Only recently, Mrs. Sutherland testi-
fled, her husband came home real angry
and wanted to start a rough house. Then
Sutherland made preliminary arrange
ments by getting the butcher knife and
sharpening it to a keen edge. It was
while the husband was engaged with the
knife that Mrs Sutherland ran to the
home of neighbor. She never went
back.
Pearl Butterfield came next. Her hus-
band. Frank Butterfield, is a telegraph
operator. and the wife doesn't know
where he is and has found it necessary
to earn her own living. More than a year
ago, the woman filed suit for divorce but
dismissed it, when Butterfield promised
to give her $35 month He paid the bill
the first month, but landed a government
job in China and never came home. Tho
court gave the woman a decree and re-
turn of her maiden name, Pearl Reid.
Mrs. Butterfield said she had looked for
her husband for several months but
couldn't find him.
