Burlington, April 19.--Eighty citi-
zens and taxpayers, represented by
States Attorney Henry b. Shaw, on
Saturday presented petition to
Judge Fred M. Butler, sitting as chan
cellor In county court, asking that
they be made co-orators In the injunc-
ton recently brought by the Burllng-
ton Light and Power company against
the City Of Burlington. The petition
was allowed by the court. The petit.
ion was presented in connection with
hearing to have modified the injunc-
ton recently brought by the Burling-
ton Light and Power company which
restraints the city from expanding any
further sums of money or contracting
any further debts until the truth of

The hearing Saturday was on a mo-

ney of Rutland, appeared for the Bur-
lington Light and Power company.
States Attorney Shaw appeared for
the taxpayers and Attorney r. E.
Brown and Ezra Horton represented
the city. Judge Darling argued that
to modify the injunction would in re-
ality forestall final hearing on the in
junction and that the city was not
really seeking 10 repair" the plant,
but to extend 1t for commercial pur.
poses. He pointed out that the plant
has been operated at loss and that
the city should not be permitted to
do commercial business at the ex-
pense OF the taxpayers Chancellor
Butler said that he would announce
his decision in the matter at an early
date. If the motion to have the in.
junction modified is denied the case
will then be heard on its merits and
1t is expected that such a hearing may
be the result in full investigation
into the affairs of the lighting plant.

OUTSIDE PRESSURE
WILL END STRUGGLE
Theory is That italy PurposeIy lie
Doing Things to Create
Intervention.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.]
LONDON, Nov. 26.-Outside inter
yention between Italy and Turkey
seems certain this morning. There is
every prospect that Italy will be forced
to offer peace terms which Turkey
can accept.
What Italy has done and is report
ed to have done In the past two days
is inexplicable to diplomats except on
the theory that the Rome government
is seeking an easy way out of diff
ficult situation by compelling inter-
vention and then representing to the
Italian people that it would have been
a simple matter to beat the Turks ii
the rest of Europe had not interfered
1t is doubted, however. IL this ex-
PLANTATION would be accepted. The
Italian government is considered in
perilous situation. Threat to block
ade the Dardanelles in violation of the
international treaty of 1871 was di-
rect invitation for protest and the
only surprise created by Russia's an
nouncement that it will not permit 1t.
is that Austria was not the first coun-
try heard from. The others will
doubtless speedily follow.
Still worse is the reported landing
of Italian troops at Sidi Barrani, in
Egypt, England's sphere of influence.
The assumption that England cannot
prevent the smuggling of Turkish
arms from Egypt into Tripoli and that
Italy has therefore taken the matter
into its own hands is looked upon not
only as not to be borne. but as a dead,
ly insult as well. If the report
proves true, serious complications be-
tween England and italy are certain.

SHANGHAI, Nov. 25--Whether

imperialsists attack on the city has
been repulsed with heavy slaughter,
which would indicate that the rebels

of reported killed runs well into the
