Turks Become
Disheartened
OTHERWISE InEY m,unr 1avE
RETAkEN TRiPoLI.
HAD MUCH SUPERIOR FORCE
Too Lats for a Successful Attack Now,
as More Italian Troops Arrive-ItaIy
Claims to Have Bee Misrepresented

Rome, Oct. 11.-(Via Frontier.)-
There is feeling in official circles here
that Turkey and her sympathizers, as
well as those elements which are an
tagonistic to Italy, are doing every
thing possible to engender opposition
among the powers to Italy's plans, and
it is believed that certain reports
which have been circulated aim chief
1y to play on Anglo German antagon-
isms.
Rumor Denied by Italy
With this object, it is supposed the
report has been spread broadcast that
Germany, having planned to obtain
Tobruk from Turkey prior to the be-
ginning of hostilities, will end now by
obtaining this important strategic
point from Italy as a base for opera
tlons in the Mediterranean against
British supremacy. All these rumors
and reports are officially denied by
Italy.
Turks Disheartened
Advices from Tripoli, sent by Rear
Admiral Borea D'Olno, the governor,
and Captain Cagni, the commandant,
possession of the city have given ex-
cellent proof of their power of resist
ance and endurance their numbers
are small, and in addition to the great
amount of work they have been COM
PEELED to do, they must guard against
tAlc UdIISSI VI oil tLldCh DS tUo eue-
my. 1t is believed, however, that the
Turkish troops are thoroughly dis
heartened, as otherwise, being only one
days march from Tripoli and twice
outnumbering the Italians, they might
have attempted to recapture the place,
or at least inflicted serious losses.
Is Now Too Late.
1t is too late now for the Turks to
do SO, for the first section of the troops
of the expedition have landed and
great preparations are being made to
welcome the Italian soldiers as liber-
atorS of Tripoli from the Turkish yoke
for all time
Transports Moving Satisfactorily.
All the wireless messages received
by the government convey the infor-
nation that the transports and their
escort of warships are proceeding sat
isfaetorily. Several alarms during last
right proved false. These were occa-
stoned by the approach of vessels,
which it was feared might prove the
enemy. But investigation disclosed
that they were merchantmen two of
them British and a rhir5i Fl ench.
Turks Deny Existence of Slavery.
While the Turkish embassies denv
the existence of slavery in TripoIi for
the reason-as set fortll-that the OF
tonan empire was a signatory to the
antl-SlaVery convention at Brussels
Italian officials declare that notwith-
standing the denial, Tripoli up to two
weeks ago was the only-eutIet of the
great slave market of Central Africa.
Slavery they point out, had always
IN Africa Its established seat, since it
was allowed by the Koran and approv-
ed by usage. It's worst feature in
Tripoli was that for each slave who ar
rived alive at the Metiit erranean coast.

originally numbered 125, but now con-
tains less than forty.
The Indictment Explained.
District Attorney F'redericks read

ing out the prisoner and explaining
the case briefly, $50 that the venire
men might know in general what it
was about Should they be called upon
to become trial jurors
Juror ASKED as to His Sympathies.
Lecompte Davis for the defense ask
ed the usual questions concerning
qualifications.
Y. T. Nelson, farmer, 81 years,
was the first man questioned.
II presume you are aware of the
bitter warfare going OH between organ
lied labor and capital?" he was asked.
Yes
"Are your sympathies with organ
lied labor or not?'
Objection by Prosecution.
G. Ray Horton, counsel for the
prosecution, objected, and Mr.. Davis
defended his question to the court, on
the ground that the case was "one that
involved organized labor
II have no doubt" said Mr.. Davis,
that the prosecution will bring in
as a motive the contention that or
ganized labor caused the explosion.
a man had any bias or prejudice
against organized labor
Asked as to Attitude Toward Labor
Unions.
Mr. Davis finally withdrew his ques-
ton and asked Mr.. Nelson:
Have you taken any interest in
the labor war or have you studied
the question
mo more than / have read in the
papers,
well, have you formed any opinion
are inimical, or are a menace in the
United States?"
Not Preiudiced Against Them.
Counsel for the prosecution objected
that The defense was endeavoring to
ascertain the opinion of jurors as to
matters that were bound to become
questions of evidence in the trial and
that in a direct way an effort was be-
ing made to determine how jurynan
might vote on the verdict.
Judge Bordwell ruled that the Ques
tion concerning labor organizations
could be answered, and Mr.. Nelson
saids
81 am not prejudiced against labor
unions as an organization.
Unions Not Responsible for Act of One
Man.
We'll, do you believe labor unions
as you understand them to be carried
on here in California are a menace? ?'
District Attorney Fredericks inter
jected that the question assumed that
the jurymen knew of the conduct of
labor unions and that the issue was
foreign to the subject.
Union Labor Not on Trial.
Union labor is not on trial. said
w. Joseph Ford OF the prosecution.
James B. Mcnamara is on trial for
blowing up The Times building. The
motive may refer to labor unions, but
that is not the issue involved"
Judge RordWeH ruled again that the
question was proper.
'It is hard to answer" replied Mr..
Nelson, 81 cont think an organization
should pe held responsible for the
acts of any one lawless man."

Mrs Jewell and her husband had worked hard to pay.
 Jewell died on Tuesday and the funeral was held on Wednesday. The next day the widow drove into Swains- boro. accompanied by Mcdaniel. and went to the courthouse.
 The Widow Jewell ain't losing any time in settling up the estate" re- marked those who saw her enter the courthouse, and her prompt attention to business caused comment among those who had feared the day before that she would collopse at her hus- bands funeral.
 It wasn't the probate judge that Mrs. Jewell was looking for, however, but the marriage license office. Quid- ed by Mcdaniel, she walked into the office and gave her age as thirty-ons while he gave his as twenty-six.
 Lifting her black veil 70 that she could see to write her name, the widow signed the affidavit and in . few minutes they were married and on their way back to the Jewell farm.
