 His Managers HEPBURN IS CAUSTIC From Amount of Money Spent It Would Seem That Stephenson Had No Voluntary Supporters in
 the State
HEPBURN IS CAUSTIC

Milwaukee October 4.-Payments Of money to workers in United States Sena- tor Isaac Stephenson's campaign for the
 primary nomination in 1908 were made without any definite returns to the cam
 peign managers as to what lse the funds were put according to testimony today before the senatorial committee which Is l Investigating charges of bribery in con- nection with Senator Stephensons elec- l tion.
 It was brought out that out of the sen- ator's campaign fund of $l0l193 money was scattered broadcast over the state l to "organizers who turned in no itemized l accounts.
 From the amount of money spent it would appear Senator Stephenson had no voluntary supporters in Wisconsin, and from the efforts made to get out votes it would seem that the direct primary for which the people popularly seemed to be camoring was not such a successful in stitution after all.
 Am I to understand that in Niscon- sin, home of the direct primary. half of these people have to tbe solicited to go to the polls?" asked Senator W. B. Hey burn of Idaho, chairman. F. A. Edmonds, who had charge of Sen ator Stephensons campaign, was on the stand

 Don't use that word suppose; 1t is glistening political generic to avoid the necessity of particuarizing, replied the chairman.
 Explaining $250o which had been paid to ]. w. Stones, state game warden, Ed | monds said Stone was to render assist ance in the campaign and that he named men in the game warden's division who were to work for Stephenson. 'The game warden division had been used as an effective force to further the political ambition of LaFollette when ne was governor" said Edmonds.
 R. J. Shields of Superior, Wis. who was mentioned in testimony given before the senatorial investigation or senator LOTT mer of Illinois was said by Edmonds to have received $4j0 to promote the Stephenson campaign.

Official Dispatch From Ad- miral FarayelIi Brings
 News To Rome
BOMBARDMENT WAS
 NOT SPECTACULAR
Report Is Ridiculed That There Is Friction Between Austrian and
 Italian Government-Ac- aaz ton Prearranged

London. October 1.-The Italian fleet bombarded Tripoli Tuesday and Wednes- day, destroying the forts and the Vali's palace, but taking care to injure the town itself as little as possible. The Turkish gunners actively returned the fire, but were completely outranged. Information is incomplete as to whether the Turks suffered casualties or whether Tripoli has surrendered.
 It is reported from Rome that negotia- tions for the surrender of Tripoli will be entered into tomorrow. It is also uncer- tain whether any Italian sailors landed, but the first contingent of the expedi- tionary force Las left Italy and, accord ing to Malta, reports the occupation Of Tripoli will begin Thursday or Friday by the laphng of contingents from the warships.
 The posteffice and the Italian consulate at Malta gre accepting mails for Tripoli and the consul has promised newspaper correspondents that they will be allowed to land in Tripoli Friday.
 While Italy is thus carrying out the programme of establishing herself in Tripoli the Turkish government is in Q helpless tangle. The ministry is virtually non-existent, dissensions between the young Turks and men of the old regime rendering the adoption of any definite line of policy impossible.
 For the moment all talk of mediation or peace negotiations has been relegated to the background.

TWO WOMEN ARE ARRESTED FOR
 LOOPING AT AUSTIN DISASTER

the general opinion that the governors visit indicated that the state officials are looking over the situation to ascertain their authority in conducting an investi- ga tion as to the liability and responsi- bility for the condition of the dam.
 1t is positively asserted by General Felitz, vice president of the state water supply commission, that at no time was the state made cognizant of the construc- ton, repair or condition of the dam. IL had been said that at the time the dam was repaired. a year or more ago, q state engineer had inspected it at the request of the company and his report was that it was unsafe. This report, General F'elitz says. is untrue, as the state has never been consulted in this connecticut
 State Senator Baldwin. of counsel for the Bayless. Pulp and Paper company, was among those in close toueh With Governor Tener during his visit here.
 The replenishing of food supplies is a problem for the 'commssary, as for the railroads. The r nurses from the state dispensary have been worked almost to the limit of their strength. having been forced to do duty at the morgue as well as working as cooks and serving maids at the comfnissary, because the necessary help has been unobtainable.
 There has been remarkable absence of ceremony in the burial of the dead. There are no carriages or vehicles be- yond one rough undertaker's wagon
 In most instances when a body is turned over to relatives a simple service is read and the casket is borne to one of the two little cemeteries here by half dozen friends. Several of the bodies have been shipped away to other towns or cities to be buried by relatives.

They were taken to the county jail at Coudertsport. Their home was searched and furs and jewelry valued at 5000 more were recovered, many places being identified by the owners. The visit of Governor Tener, the recovery of seven more bodies and the funerals of a number Of victims, coupled with further de- Velopment of the system of cleaning the ruins and feeding the augmented force of Norlmen, marked the day.
 A record was made for progress making in relief work. With the bodies recovered there are but 31 persons unaccounted for, according to the authorities.
 Six funerals were held, five from the Swedish church, the only edifice left standing, and the caslxets were placed side by side before the altar at one time.
 As one service was completed minister of another denomination would succeed his predecessor for the next funeral.
 Each funeral had it's little group of mourners. The Rev. E. E. Harter of the Methodist Episcopal church read the sim pic service to flood victims as the bodies W ere buried.
 In a drizzling rain, Governor John K. Tener of Pennsylvania started todoy on his tour of inspection of the flood de- stroyed district of Austin, including the dam of the Bayless Pulp and Paper com pany, the bursting of which brought death, distress and privation to this vil- lage.
