system of insurance a necessity.
one feature which Gov. Wilson said
had not been discussed. was the relation
Of the employee to the small employer.
II was all well enough to compel the
employer to pay his employees. but
there should be some provision made
by which the small employer would have
TO guarantee his responsibility.
III a company cannot AFFORD to pay

This startling declaration of the Gov

at length. In a paragraph his opin-
ion is:

EUROPEANS IN FEAR
or MODS IN TRIPOLI
Hostile Move By Italy May Be
Followed By a General
Massacre.

Malta, Sept. ga private message
from Tripoli today says that Italian
warships with an eXpeditionary force
are lying 20 miles off Tripoli AND that
there is a panic among the Italian resi-
dents there, as 1t is feared that the
landing of troops would be the signal
for a massacre of Europeans.
The AngIo-Maltese colony in Tripoli
today sent an appeal to their compat-
riots, saying:
1--WE implore our brethren TO appeal
to the government to assist US and to
come to our help, as the Italian steam
ers refuse to receive any but persons
of their own nationality"
Constantinople, Sept. 2S.--The Turk
ish cabinet in council yesterday de-
cided that in the event Of a rupture Of
the relations between Italy and Turkey,
the Italians should be deprived OF all
benefit of the capitulatiOns.
The capitulations are Turkish state
papers guaranteeing to foreigners re-
siding in Turkey and its dependencies
extra territorial rights and immunities
such as trial by consular courts in
cases where Turkish subjects are con-
cerned.
Tripoli, Sept. 2S.-The uneasiness Of
European residents here increases
through apprehensions of native dem
onstrations. A French steamer sailing
yesterday took aboard many Europeans
for Tunis, but vas compelled TO refuse
others who sought passage because OF
lack of accommodations for them.

VIOLENT SELLING IN
WALL Street AGAIN
Stocks of Railroads and Copper
and Steel Concerns Are
Hammered.

New York, Sept. 27.-Anot,.c- out
burst of selling on the stock exchange.
when trading began today, carried
down prices swiftly. AS the gong
sounded the opening of business on the
floor Of the exchange, there was a rush
to sell. The crush was greatest at the
posts at which Union Pacific, the cop
per and the steel shares are sold.
The gains made yesterday afternoon
in the recover following the early de-
preston were largely swept away in a
few minutes. The confusion in the
crowd Of struggling brokers around the
steel post was so great that for some
time it was impossible to determine the
changes in price. The first transaction
was a block OF 10000 shares at 555a
and 545s an extreme loss Of ia. The
price % fell to 81 cents. United
States Steel preferred lost IL.
Union Pacific declined 2k and other
active railroad shares a smaller
amount. The copper stocks developed
further weakness and American Cotton
Oil declined 3%.
After half an hour Of excited selling
the character Of the market changed
abruptly. Buying orders appeared In
sufficient volume to cause a Quick up
turn. United States Steel bounded Up
8 points and Union Pacific nearly as
much. Losses throughout the list were
soon eliminated or reduced to small
amounts.

Stenographer of a Get-Rich-
Quick Man Wanted By the
Grand Jury.

New York, Seut. 2S.-The federal
grand jury was expected to act today
in the case of Jared Flagg, the So per
cent profit broker, and his friends. who
were arrested recently charged with de-
frauding customers through illegal use
Of the mails. The jury was waiting to
get the testimony of Miss Madeline
Russo, the stenographer, whose IN
fidential position in Flagg's office is
supposed to a taught her the de-
tails Of his immense business.
Since the raid of Flagg'S offices last
Saturday, the postoffice inspectors
nave sought Miss Russo in vain, but
today they had assurance that she
would surrender herself.
Through her sister Miss Russo has
declared hat she has intimate ac-
q%uaintance with her employers busi-
ness methods.
Mr.. Flagg," she said, never closed
a transaction without q handsome
profit to the investor. His method was
a simple one, known as the Pettibone
progressive system. This scheme is
merely TO place a substantial cash mar
gin on a small lot Of stock, so as to
i've any possible ~1uctuation. One is
bound to win in this way if he is con-
tent to wait until the stock goes up.
The only reason that the outside in
vestOr loses money on margin deals is
that he goes into the game with insult
ficient funds or else loses his cour-
age"

Saturdays raid who remains in iail
today is L. Tennyson Nicely. the former
