TURKS CAPTURE SHIP
y,
ITALY NEAR WAR WITH TURKEY
AS RESULT OF DISPUTE.
Reported That Italians Have Landed
Troops at Three Points on
Coast of Tripoli.

Port Said.-The crisis between Italy
and Turkey over the proposal of
the former nation to establish a,
protectorate over Tripoli has reached
it's climax, according to reports re-
ceived here, and conflict between the
nations seems inevitable.
The Turks, according to reports re-
ceived here from apparently reliable
authority, have captured the Italian
liner Regina Margherita at Mersina, IN
Asia Minor. The steamer is one of the
fleet of the NavigaZione Generate Ital-
lana of Genoa.
AS the Italians have been prepared
for some time to take immediate &C
ton should the Ottoman government
refuse to agree to the protectorate it
is thought that action in selling the
Italian liner will precipitate trouble
between the countries at once. Up to
the present time Italy, in all negotia-
tons carried on, has exhibited a de-
sire to avoid extreme measures, even
offering to leave Tripoli under the SOW
ereignty Of the sultan in case the as
surance is given OF Italy's future pre-
ponderance of power In Tripoli.
Germany and Austria are said to
have agreed to this plan, and France
and Italy have signified a willingness
to indemnify Turkey in case it is
adopted.
The attitude of Turkey, however, has
been one of defiance, and should it be
unable to offer a good excuse for the
capturing of the liner, war may be ex-
pected.

A number of persons in Scotland
make a livelihood by searching for
the precious stones which are occa-
sionally to be found ensconced In the
interior of fresh-water mussels. To a
lesser extent it is also carried out on
some English and Welsh streams, but
none of these Is SO prolific In pearl
bearing as the northern rivers, says
the London Globe. There are authen-
tic records OF Scotch pearls being
found which rivaled any the orient
has produced SO far as translucency
and f1awlessness are concerned. A
writer of the eighteenth century states
that 100000 was moderate estimate
of the value OF pearls then fished an
nually from Scottish rivers, while it
Is matter of history that a German
who formed syndicate OF fisheries
in 1865 acquired stones to the value
OF $4,000 in that year alone. But
the industry Is not go remunerative
nowadays.

400 HEROES SLAIN
FRENCH WARSHlP llBERTE
CATCHES ON FIRE AND MAG
AZlNES EXPLODE.
FEW JUMP AND SAVE LIVES
Sailors Work Desperately to Save Yes
sci From Flames, Needless Of
Their Own Safety-Debris Carries
Death to Other Ships.

Toulon, France.-An appalling naval
of life occursed at daylight, when the
battleship Liberte, one OF the finest
vessels in the navy, blew up in this
harbor. The death loss is estimated
from 300 up to 400 or more. The killed
include officers and men of the Lii
oerte, and also large number of
those from nearby warships.
The precise cause OF the fire and ex-
plosion is still matter of speculation.
The LiberLe was anchored in the road
stead, where she had lain since the re-
view OF the fleet by President Fal-
Heres on September a. Around her
and not far away were her companion
ships. all of which by the very force
OF the explosion added from their own
crews to the list OF the Liberties
dead. The Verite was the nearest at
hand, and the flying fragments and
bursting shells played havoc with the
panic-stricken sailors helplessly watch
ing the fire from the decks.
1t was S o'clock in the morning
when the fire was discovered, and
many of the Liberties crew were
asleep. The alarm was sounded and
the order given to flood the hold,
useless effort in the quick rush OF the
flames.
Almost Immediately series OF deaf
ening explosions fell upon the air.
The Liberte shook from one end to
the other, great holes opened in its
armor and the terrified sailors, realiz-
ing their peril at last, would have
jumped frantically into the sea. They
were too late. Already the work OF
destruction was complete One final
and awful explosion infinitely more
terrifying than those preceding rent
the great ship in two The huge frag-
ments shuddered, and moment later
the Liberte was at the bottom OF the
sea.
1t was discipline, strangely enough,
that caused such a frightful loss of
life. Most of the sailors were asleep
at the time of the alarm At the first
explosion, for only a small squad had
bene called to fight the fire, they tum-
bled from their berths and were about
to jump overheard when sharp order
recalled them to their posts. These
met death when the ship went down,
and after the final explosion, out OF
the floating bodies that mingled
with the debris on the surface OF the
water, only few were saved by the
cruising boats. launched too late to
rescue the injured and the drowning
1t was pathetic incident that with
seemingly plenty Of aid almost at
hand it was impossible for such aid to
be given, so short was the time be-
tween the first alarm of fire and the
quick destruction Of the Liberte.
The fire spread with the most amaz-
Ing rapidity. and it is now lamenta-
bic conclusion that In the general ex-
element no order was given to flood
the magazines, step which might
have saved many lives. Men and Of
ficers worked with the utmost desper-
alton, but after the first explosion the
interior of the ship becameia veritable
volcano, sweeping back the sailors
who time and again risked their lives
to carry the projectiles from the gun
rooms.

Northwestern Passenger Train Crashes Into a
Hayrack Loaded With Merrymakers Re-
turning from Dance in the Country.
FOUR OF THE INJURED WILL DIE
Most of Victims We're Employees of Menasha Paper Mills
Bodies of Dead Horribly Manged and Scattered Along
Track for 200 Feet---Tran Crew Not Blamed

these was Mrs. Finn, who was pro-
jected through one of the side walls
of the house and was still alive when
removed. She died few hours lat
err Another of the victims killed
was thrown high over a barn fifty
feet from the right of way.
1t was with songs on their lips
that the merrymakers met death.
They were singing popular songs
when the engine bore down on them.
Ten met death instantly. Two died
on their way to Clark hospital; an
other died at the institution. Ten
were badly crushed and fatal conse-
quences are expected in four other
cases.
Nearly all of the dead were en-
ployed in the paper mills here The
flag over the city hall is at half mast
and everywhere there is manifesto
ton of deep grief.
Il was standing up in front of the
wagon near the driver holding a
lantern to light the road for him."
said Anton Brezinski one of the sur
vivors, ''and we were both on the
lookout for an approaching train.
There is a huge advertising billboard
running up to the track and this
completely hid the train from our
sight. The board is sixty feet long
and about twenty feet high, painted
a dark gray, giving it the appear
ance of the sky in the background,
and deceived us in thinking the track
was clear.
There was no warning Of any
kind. no whistle or bell and the first
intimation we had was when / saw
the headlight appear from behind
feet from U.s. We were then direct
ly on the track and it was too late
to avoid the accident. Further back
in the wagon the others were talk
ing and laughing among themselves
and could not have seen the train
anyway. When the crash came it
literally swept the wagon from under
me and l landed squarely on my feet
almost beside the train"
The two most intimately con-
cerned in the tragedy were in a pitia-
BILE condition following the accident.
Engineer Frank Spooner of Green
Bay tried to handle the throttle of
the train to the end of his run, after
the accident, but he became almost
insane before reaching Appleton, and
there he was taken off the train to a
secluded spot where his shattered
nerves could be quoted. Peter Han
son, driver of the wagon, also be-
came nearly insane and was placed
in care of physicians.
No blame is attached to the rail-
read officials. The engineer was
Frank Spooner of Green Bay, and
Conductor Keers of Chicago, it was
said here, was in charge OF the train.
The crossing is a dangerous one and
is about a mile and a half from Nee
nah. The train was running easily
forty-five miles per hour, it is said,
but the tracks in both directions are
exposed 1t would be possible to see
