Italian Cruisers Sum-.

London.-The Daily Chronicles Con-
stantinople correspondent says:
"A wireless message to the admi-
rally says that two Italian cruisers
have been sunk off an unnamed point
in the archipelago. 1t is presumed
that the torpedo boats had a hand il
this affair"
Out of a perfect maze of conflict,
ing reports and rumors it is utterly
impossible at the present stage to sift
the grains of truth concerning the
opening days of the Turko-Italian
war. 1t appears doubtful whether
there has been any actual occupation
of Tripoli and it is practically certain
that there has been no bombardment
by the Italian warships.
An early dispatch from Rome says
that the ministry of marine announces
that the Italian squadron encountered
the Turkish squadron, composed Of
three battleships and several torpedo
boats, near the entrance to the Darda
n%elles; that an engagement ensued
and the Turkish battleships were sunk
and the torpedo boats damaged.
The Ottoman clearly is not in a
hurry and the most significant news
of the day is the decision of the Turk
ish council again to appeal to the
powers, and in the meantime suspend
offensive measures. This e appeal
has not reached the British govern.
ment and there is nothing to indicate
that the attitude of the powers has
undergone any change, According to
the Daily Telegraph's Rome CORE.
s%pondent, however, Germany and Aus
tria already have made unofficial rep
reservations to Italy of their displeas
ure at her procedure and that if these
representations are ignored they will
be followed in another shape by "hu
initiation to Italy"

ITALY SENDS CRUISER TO BOT
TOM OF SEA.
fuses TO Surrender to
Squadron.

Tripoli, Barbary .-The Italian squad
ron, which had been cruising in
the offing, came close in shore and
the destroyer Garibaldino steamed
into the harbor flying a white flag.
Great crowds watched her approach.
After remembering, the destroyer
launched a boat which came to the
beach. An officer landed. He was
preceded by a bluejacket carrying a
white flag.
Turkish soldiers surrounded the
two. The officer asked for the Turk
ish commander. When taken to him,
he formally announced that the ltal-
ian feet had been ordered to occupy
the town. He, therefore, demanded
the instant surrender of the whole
Turkish garrison. Tn Turkish com.
mander replied that he was unable to
comply with the demand and emphat-
ically refused to surrender.
Rome, Sept. 30.-War was declared
by Italy against Turkey yesterday
afternoon after Turkey, in replying
to Italy's ultimatum, had refused to
recognize ltaly's right to seize Trip
oil.
The foreign Office announced the
declaration of war and also made
known that the Turkish ambassador
here had received his passports and
that the Italian charge d~'affaires, in
Constantinople had been directed to
demand his passports and withdraw
from that county.

GET RICH QUICK MEN HELD.
So PER CENT A YEAR OFFICIALS
INDICTED.
Government Contends Accused Paid
Interest" to Customers Out
of Capital Invested.

New York City.-The federal
grand jury reported to Judge Hough
indictments against Jared F1agg and
his associates in the 81 per cent a
year nee All are charged with
using the mails to defraud. None or
the defendants was in court, but their
attorneys entered formal pleas OF
mot guilty" with permission to with
draw and deMur later after they had
examined the indictments.
Fully a score OF witnesses, includ-
ing customers and clerks in the Flagg
offices raided Saturday, went at once
before the inquisitorial body. Some
OF these were customers who have
received from Flagg a profit of l per
zen weekly on their investment en-
the discretionary pool maintained by
Flagg.
1t is the contention of the govern
ment that this interest was paid out
of the principal invested by the Gus
toners, and also that money received
from certain customers was utilized
to pay earnings transferred to others.
Madeline Russo, the prepossessing
girl clerk in Flagg's office, whose
whereabouts the postoffice inspectors
have been seeking to learn, is still
missing. 1t is intimated that she was
in Flagg's confidence and could sub.
stantiate the governments case. At
her home 1t was denied that she was
a fugitive. 1t was also said that she
had notified the district attorney that
she was willing to appear before the
grand jury and tell all she knows.

While Family Sleep.

Mitchell, M.-F1ve persons %ere
burned to death and three others mar

Van I)ever attempted to start q fire
in the stove with Goa! oil. The oil
exploded.
The Van Dever house was burned
TO the ground and the bodies of the
victims SO charred that they were al
o unrecognizable.
Some doubt exists as to the iden.
tity of one of the bodies believed by
Coroner c. N. S%treeper of Alton 10
be that of Van Deyer's 9-year-old
daughter, Wanda. The family kept
two dogs, one of them. the special
pet Of the little girl, sleeping III the
house, and it was at first believed
that the body was that of the dog.
Neighbors, however, declared that
they had seen the dog after the fire.
The Van Dever house is a two-story
affair built of wood. The first floor
is used as a basement and the family
lived in -four rooms on the second
story.
The wife and FIVE children and
Arthur Langford, 10, q nephew, we're
sleeping when Van Dever went down
stairs to prepare breakfast. Accord
ing to his story, the fire refused to
burn after he had poured some oil
on 1t and he went back to the stove

fame shot out and caught the can.
