ID MAKE PROTEST
 AGAINST CRUE[T|ES
Representative BarthOldt Will Present Matter
 to House

Washington, D. C., December 1.-Pro- test to the American Congress will be made by Turks against what they term the unspeakable acts of the Italians in Tripoli Representative Bartholdt of Mississippi, a member of the interpar- liamentary union received the protest to- day as the president, from MT. Bustany, a member of the Turkish parliament and president of the ottoman group of the union. It will be offered in the House probably Monday.
 The protest follows.
 'The Italian army in Tripoli is revel- ling in acts incompatible with the laws of civilization and humanity; it holds as prisoners of war non-comhatants and even schoolboys; it massacres and exe- cutes by shooting without any pity what ever the volunteer defenders of the coun- try whom it regards as rebels counter to the two conventions of The Hague under whose provisions armed volun- teers as combatants enjoy the same rights as regulars.
 ''rhe lives of women. old men and children are no longer respected, and attacks are even made upon private per- sons at prayer In mosques, thus tramp ling under foot all religious sentiments.'
 In view of these alleged conditions MT. Bustany says the Ottoman parliament deems it it's duty to call to the notice of the American Congress these "un- speakable'' acts.

SOUTH ENSLEY CAR BLOWN
 H UP AT ENSLEY HIGHLANDS
otoan and Dispatcher Injured By What Thought to Have Been Dynamite Exploson-Wheel Broken and
 Windows Shattered

Traffic on the line was interrupted for about an hour or until the damaged car was brought to the shops on Third avenue.
 Captain .Ramage of the Ensley police district said last night that in his opin- ion the explosion may not have been caused by dynamite. There were indi- cations" said Captain Ramage, that the air tank exploded. or at least that the explosion did not occur on the track. I examined the pavement close ly where the explosion occurred and the brick pavement was not torn up in the slightest manner"
 A number of policemen hurried to the scene as soon as the explosionp was re- ported Among them were Detectives Jones and Cases and Plainclothesmen Hood, Henderson, Wiggins and Granger.
 Deputy Sheriffs Curl and Patterson any Deputy Suggs of Ensley were also on the scene immediately. Deputy Patter- son after examining the car thought the explosion must have been caused by the dynamite being placed above the wheel in some manner, as it was there that the worst damage seemed to have oc- cured.
 The eXposion was so. severe that it was felt in all parts of the residences near the scene.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-12-02

A South Ensley car was blown ur. supposedly .by dynamite, at Ensley Highlands station at 7:10 o'clock last night Motorman Johnson was severe ly injured about the hip and back and Dispatcher Parsons, who was standing on the front platform, was cut about the face by flying glass. Conductor J. D. Lee, who was inside the car, and the passengers. escaped uninjured, though practically every pane of glass in the forward part of the car was shattered.
 Motorman Johnson states that a stick of dynamite must have been placed in the groove of the track as he believes he could have seen it if the stick were lying on the track itself. He says the front end of the car seemed to rear up about eight inches This threw him backward and as he weighs close to 225 pounds his back was se- riously wrenched by striking the door of the car.
 k The right front wheel of the car was blown in two and considerable damage done the forward framework ff
 The car was going toward Ensley and was loaded principally with young women who work in Birmingham and who were returning to their homes in Ensley and Wylam.

Pirates Quelled

Hong Kong, China, December 1.-Al- though the reign of piracy on the West river has been controlled by the vigil lance of the guards on board the river steamers the situation on snore is utter ly chaotic In the towns and settlements along the river the most deplorable out rages are frequently occurring. Even in Canton the military regime has proved itself wholly inefficient.
 For several days armed bands of rob- bers and hoodlums have gone about Can ton footing shops and houses. Today five ruffians, bristling with revolvers. walked boldly into a bank in southern suburb and got away with $50O0 in cash About the same time band of seve,, armed natives clustered into the open market and boldly plundered two prom inent shops before the eyes of hundreds of panic stricken onlookers. They se- cured several hundred dollars in money and then walked off The local police disarmed watched the spectacle help lessly.
 Street fighting goes on continuously in all parts of Canton and those killed or injured include many innocent pystanders.
 The Hong Kong government has adopt ed the sternest measures to repress all outbreaks of rioting here. One unusual piece of legislation adopted at the re quest of the police permits the fogging of prisoners for minor orrenses against the peace.
 There have been no developments of importance on the rivers. The steamers all proceed under guard and keep con stant watch against attack by pirates.
 Paris. December 1.--In reply to a letter from Deputy Count Albert De Nun calling his attention to the precarious position of French missionaries at kien Chang, China, Foreign Minister De Salves as- sured the deputy that everything has been done consistent with the exigency of the situation to protect the mission aries especially in the province of Tuen Chang.

and brewing. It is doubtful, indeed. if there exists in all China any fruit that is not turned into either wine or brandy They are also great users of European wines and liquors, and their trade is no small item.
 As regards their sobriety, there seems 10 be a difference of opinion, and 1t is a question upon which writers disagree, but it seems to be the general opinion that very few intoxicated men or women sre. seen upon the streets. What drink ing is done, and from all accounts there must be considerable, is carried on with in doors.
 Habitual drunkenness is punished by banishment and servitude, but occasional intoxication is only a matter of comment and the result is the notifying person OF the street in which he lives that so and so is drunk. and if the subject is not boisterous the affair is let drop. But, on the other hand, if he Is noisy and shows a disposition to quarrel and fight he is at once taken to his rooms and compelled to remain in there until the effect of the liquor has worn away

 Palm tree wine, known as cha, is am other beverage that is extensively used by the Chinese. It Is their cheapest wine, though in truth 1t cannot be said that it is the poorest, for when properly made and consumed while fresh and sweet it is pleasant and wholesome drink
 Rice is also used to make beer known as sam-shee. It is consumed in vast quantities throughout the entire kingdom, and as rbor is cheap and material ike wise the cost of sam-shee to the consumer is trivial indeed. Another beer that rivals sam-shee is tar-asun, made from either wheat or barley, according to the abund- ance of the crop.
 The Chinese are indebted to the Tar tars for their kau-yang-tsyew. or lamb wine According to the tales of ancient travellers, the method of making this beverage, which Is described as being pleasant to the taste and remarkably wholesome, was to dress a young lamb as for cooking, then by gently pounding the flesh, gradually make it into pulp. T. is then placed in milk and allowed to eerment, after which it is carefully dis tiled. It is very intoxicating beverage and it's use is greatly restricted. At one time it was the favorite drink of the cmperors, but on the whole it cannot he said to have Ina dthe indorsement of the people.
 Sau-tchoo is a beverage prepared from either wheat rye or millet, to which is added mixture called pi-ka; it is made Of licorice root, rice flour, garlic and anise seed. First it is fermented and then distilled. This is the one liouor that a Chinaman will take with him on lis travels, and naturally considerable quantity of it is exported.
 Owing to the vast area of China, all most every kind of fruit and vegetable can be raised, and with people so rooted for their ingenuity and so 10th as to the pse of water, which when it is used for drinking Is generally distilled 1t can be easily surmised that everything possible is done in the way of distillation
