London, Sept. 25.-Open defiance
Of the war threats of Italy by Tur-
key, mobilization of the Italian fleet
and the alleged preparation of an
ultimatum by Italy, demanding the
immediate concession of Tripoli by
the Ottoman empire are the start
ling developments in the negotia-
tons for the disputed trade center
today. The situation is regarded
here as very grave, and war is looked
for.
Turkey has thrown down the

ton that she will not surrender Tri-

Turkey believes that she can defeat

1t is reported here today that

not an idle one is demonstrated by

GEORGE MEYERS TRIAL
IS FINALLY SETTLED
MUST serve SENTENCE

Over ruling the contention of the
defense that George Meyers, charged
with the murder of Night Patrolman
Eckhart of this city, had been, de-
MED his constitutional rights when
the notes of the evidence given by
his brother at a former trial were
read at his last trial, the supreme
court this afternoon affirmed the
Judgment of Judge Kelly of the cir
cut court of this county.
Meyers shot down Eckhart about
TWO years ago. The officer had gone
10 his room at the request of his
brother, Arthur Meyers, and upon
MS verbal complaint took him from
1t and started to throw him into the
city Jail. The only offense of which
Meyers seems to have been guilty
When arrested, was putting his feet
on some cushions which Arthur Mey-
ers priced very highly. On the way
10 the Jail, Meyers demonstrated
against his arrest and just as the Of
ncer was getting ready to take him
INTO the police headquarters, he
opened fire, with the result that Eek
mart was killed.

Meyers was charged with murder
in the first degree and convicted Of
murder in the second degree. Upon
an appeal being prosecuted to the
supreme court, the judgment was re-
versed At his second trial he was
convicted of manslaughter and given
an indeterminate sentence of one to
Is years.
Again an appeal was prosecuted to
the supreme court and with the
above result Arthur Meyers failed
to answer and testify at the last
trial and his evidence as given at a
former trial was introduced and ac-
cepted by the court. The lawyers for
the defense contended that this was
reversible error as it denied the de-
fendant the right to be confronted
with the witness appearing against
him and also denied him the right of
cross examination.
The supreme court held that he
had been confronted once with the
witness and had the privilege of
cross examining him once and that
therefore his constitutional rights
had not been violated,

from opening the new Cort Theater,
San Francisco, where it scored a
sensational hit.
Any play or drama, in which a
mother or husband. .or real home
happenings is strongly depicted, is
always of intense interest to theater
patrons, but when the realisms and
situations make genuine comedy with
a mother, father and babies as CEN
trail figures, and the whole abounds
with extreme fun making and peals
of laughter, there can be but one re-
sult--success.
This term applies to the best and
biggest comedy play of modern times,
Baby Nine" and which all mana
gers agree is the most genuine thea
trical find of years. The authoress,
Miss Margaret Mayo, got her inspir-
alton for her ideas and lines from a
newspaper article, and under the di-
rection of Manager William A. Brady
