Mr.. T. c. Craig, of Arbor Hill, does

devoured at single bite. The speci-
men he exhibited at the Dispatch
News office Saturday night would last
a large sized, radish-eating family
a month. The giant root measured
II inches in length, 21 inches in cir
cumference and weighed IL

u. S. WARSHIP TO
PROBE REPORTS
Great Powers Will Probably Wind
Up ItaIy-Turkey War

Washington, Nov. 6.-Sweeping
denials were made this morning by
the Italian embassy in this city of
the Turkish charges of gross out
RACES by the army of Italy now occu-
pying Tripoli.
These charges were formally made
by the Turkish government to the
United States last night in a note
transmitted to the State Department
by the Turkish ambassador. In this
note there was an appeal to the
United States'to intervene in the war
to prevent further atrocities against
the helpless people of the Tripolitan
capital.
In view of the conflicting state
ments of the two governmentsxIl3w
at war, the United States today3Hs-
patched the cruiser Chester, now at
Malta, to Tripoli. The Officers of
this vessel will make report to the
American Government, and not until
this report is submitted will any ac-
tion be taken here.
London, Nov. 6.-Turkey's appeal
to the powers for. Intervention in
.Tripoli is at last in fair way to
bear fruit. The European powers
have finally concluded to act in con-
cert in an effort to end the Turco-
Italian war.
Turkey is willing to submit to
mediation on the condition that Italy
foregoes her claim to political rights
in Tripoli, but as Italy already has
committed herself to the annexation
of the country it is unlikely that
peace can be concluded at once.
The Turkish government has in
formed the powers of it's willingness
to give Italy all the economic privi-
leges she needs for the development
of Tripoli.

GEORGE COULD is OUT.
Retires From Presidency Of Missouri
Pacific Railroad

New York. Feb. 16.-George ]. Gould
soon will step down from the position in
which his father, Jay Could. placed him
eighteen years ago. the presidency of
the Missouri Pacific Railway Company.
He so announced yesterday. after con-
ferring with the Rockefeller and Kuhn
Loeb interests. which had been press
ing him to place a man at the head OF
the system who Will "eat drink and
sleep on the job The name OF his
successor has not been announced
Mr.. Gould VIII become chairman OF
the board. but that fact does not alter
the opinion generally held in financial
circles that yesterdays developments
ence. not only in Missouri Pacific. but
in the various other railroads with
which tho name OF Gould has for so
many years been identified.
Rumors foreshadow-ing the change
have been current for weeks and more
recent developments indicated that a
spirited contest was to be waged for
control of the stock Several confer
ences were held today and with their
conclusion. at time too late to have
any effect on t0day's market, the Gould
statement was issued.
IT tells not only OF George Gould's
forthcoming resignation as president.
but Of the intended simultaneous retire
ment OF the other members Of the Gould
faction and family in the directorate.
This puts an end to all probability OF
a contest.

Of Q settlement. He tied no strings 10
his release but told his ardent support
