Direct news from Tripoli Is lacking
That the italian forces have landed
there is unquestioned, but there Is
doubt as to whether Turkey offered
armed opposition. A Constantinople
dispatch says that the Turkish guns
sank two boats with continEents OF
soldiers aboard at Tripoli. According
to advices received by the porte, Italy
has effected landing near Prevesa,
in European Turkey. The reserves OF
the vilayet of Janinar are being mobi-
lized. An official announcement also
comes from Constantinople that
Greece Is mobilizing her army. The
Italian government declares its de-
termination to maintain the territorial
status quo of the balkans, explaining
that its naval operations along the
coast of European Turkey are merely
measure of safety of the security of
ltaly's military expedition. The posi-
ton of the Turkish squadron, which
Is supposed to be on its way from
Beirut to Constantinople. Is unknown,
though reports say that 1t should
reach the Dardanelles Sunday. An
Athens dispatch says that an Italian
squadron shelled several Turkish war
ships off Gominitza.

EASILY
YOUNG AVIATOR FLIES FROM
HELENA TO BLOSSBuRG
WHILE JIM HILL WATTS.

Helena, Sept. 30.-(SpeciaD.- The
state fair closed today ard the last day
proved to many the most enjoyable of
the week. Cromwell Dixon undertook
and successfully accomplished the feat
OF crossing the main range of the
Rocky mountains. thus making a
worlds record and incidentally win
ming q purse of $4,000. The flight
was witnessed not only by the thou
sands at the fair grounds, but also by
a large majority of the people OF Hell
eha, who from their windows and from
streets watched the birdman disappear
over the hills and then waited patiently
for his appearance nearly two hours
later.
From every point of view the flight
was a success. Rising from the fair
grounds at 2:Os, for IL minutes Dixon
splraled In the air, until he had
reached an elevation of 7,100 feet, ris-
ing 900 feet above the fair grounds.
Then he flew westward, arriving In
Blossburg at 2:34. There he made a
descent and at 3:16 began the attempt
to make an ascension. Blossburg Is

MOSS OF BILLINGS

SUIT
FORMER BANK PRESIDENT
MAKES GRAVE ACCUSATION
AGAINST RECEIVER.

Billings. Sept. 30-Suit for the re-
covery of s156,21G.s6 was today
brought against Philip Tlllinghast, re-
ceiver of the First National bank Of
this city. by =. B. Moss. its former
president. on the ground that the re-
ceiver sold securities to that amount
for 25 per cent OF their face value.
The securities were in the form OF
notes and bonds of the Billings Mutual
Telephone company. recently consoli-
dated with the Interstate Telephone
company. of which Thaddeus S. Lane.
OF Butte and Spokane, Is president, and
were held by the First National bank
and the Billings Trust L. Savings
hank, of which Mr.. Moss was also
president.
1t Is alleged that Tillinghast repre-
sented to the comptroller OF the cur
rency that these assets were not worth
over 25 per cent when, as IA matter
Of fact. definite arrangements had
been made to pay them In full from
the earnings of the telephone company,
and that the receiver OF the trust
company was coerced into agreeing to
the sale of securities held by him by
threats of legal action tending to les
sen their value.
The securities were purchased last
April by A. b. Cook, IA leading cap
italst OF Helena, who IL heavily in
terested In various independent tele-
phone companies In the state and a
stakeholder in the Interstate Tele-
phone company.
Additional interest Is given the suit
by the fact that coercion In the man
ner charged Is a pcnitentiary offense
under the laws OF Montana.

sponsible for this trouble
On the Coast.
San Francisco, Sept 3O.--Compari-
son OF reports from the shops OF the
Hartman system indicate tonight that
the strike order affecting the FEEDER
ated Shop Employees was more gener-
ally obeyed in the east than on the
Pacific coast. In the district In the
Jurisdiction of l.. Il. Calvin, vice pres
ident and general manager OF the
Southern Pacific company, approx!-
mately 10000 men are employed In
the shops, and a statement issued at
o'clock tonight from the office Of
the general manager said that trifle
less than so per cent of these men
obeyed the strike order.
Mr.. Calvin's jurisdiction extends to
Ashland, Ore, on the north, to
Sparks, New, on the east and to Ell
Paso, Texas, on the south. The
statement applies to all shopmen em-
braced in this territory.
III San Francisco the strike order
Gas more generally obeyed tnan IN
any other of the large shops on The
coast, practically every man walking
out. In Oakland about 1900 men are
employed, about 400 of this number
being repair men, who are not organ
ized. Nine hundred and twenty one
men walked out. nearly all Of them
machinists and boilermakers. or the
car repalrers about 13 per cent went
out. The switchmen quit work for an
hour, but went back again.
Men Satisfied.
In contradiction to the statement of
the railroad officials, Ernest l.. Re
gum, president of the Federated Shop
Employees in this city, asserted to-
night that the situation was more
than satisfactory to the strikers and
| that II exceeded expectations. He said
that here so per cent Of the men went
out and that the night force would
not report for work Monday night.
In Sacramento, where are situated the
biggest shops of the Hartman lines,
In this state, only about 400 went out.
The labor leaders expressed the be-
lief that this number would be great
ly increased by Monday. In the strike
of 1894 the men employed In Sacra-
mento went out almost to man.
At Los Angeles.
| From Los Angeles 1t was announced
tonight that labor leaders reported
1900 men out, representing the en-
ployes of the Southern Pacific and OF
the Salt Lake railroad shops, the EN-
ployes of the latter numbering 22O.
This estimate Is about 300 less than
the number announced by the union
leaders directly after the strike order
went into effect this morning. Tht
railroad officials said that there were
only 1867 at work in the shops yes
terday ana that nearly 400 remained
at work today.
