demanding an answer within twen-
ty-four hours She will accept only
the immediate evacuation of the
Tripoll and Benghazi
II was reported at 945 that the
Turkish government has decided to
reject the Italian demand, em-
bodied in the ultimatun, and has
addressed an explanatory comrhuni-
cation to the powers.
The Italian charge presented the
ultimatum at the usual routine re-
ception to the foreign representa-
tiyes at the foreign office. The
Grand Vizier Immediately went to
the police where the ministers were
summoned to a special council,
when it became known that Italy
had granted a signed limit of only
twenty-four hours in which to en-
able the Turkish government to in
struct the authorities at Tripoli not
to oppose an Italian landing, there
was CONSERVATION in public and of.

the coast to prevent the Turks from
landing arms and men.

everywhere Banks and business
houses are closed and trade is COM
pletely paralyzed The Europeans
who remained in Tripoli are gath
cred in groups in the street. Nearly
all the Italians have sent their
families away.
A steamship Is kept here at the
disposition of the italian consul.
The Turkish authorities are doing
the utmost to maintain order. but
there is an dunder-current of grave
alarm. Turkish pickets are patrol
ling the town The most threaten
ing danger Is that the Arabs may
rise against the Italians.
The departure of many Europeans
has intensified the feeling Of the
Arabs against Italians.
Trading vessels lie in the raot
stead, their cargoes undischarged
No natives nor foreign laborers car
be obtained, so threatening is thu

 The solemnization of the marriage VOW brings to close a pretty romance which started years ago. when Miss Ford was engaged to do industrial boosting work on a number of the newspapers of the south. MT. Maher was at the time engaged in the same kind of work. hence the cul- imitation of the long comradeship has been the marriage contract. The bride expects to continue doing special write- ups for newspapers and magazines, in which line she has met with marked suc- cess. A short time ago she received coun- try-wide congratulations on full page story which she had in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch on Judge Orr of Columbus, Miss, who was depicted as the last sur vivor of the Confederate congress.

MONTGOMERY WILL
 TRY ID REFERENCE

Montgomery, May S-(Specal)-At the meeting of the board of city commission CTS tomorrow night matters of general im- portance will come up for consideration, and probably for disposition. The busi- ness before the commission will be the consolidation of the office of city treas urer and city clerk the consolidation of the office of city physician and city health officers, and the abolition of the office of city tax collector.
 The consolidation of the offices of city treasurer and city clerk has been held up for several weeks, though this was one of the first steps which was proposed when the new form of government went into effect. For various reasons, it Is un- derstood, the matter has been postponed. though the question will probably be def initely settled at the weekly meeting or Tuesday night, -.-
 The consolidation of these offices means that either City Treasurer Hobert Tait oi City Clerk William F. Black will lose hi' position. Just which of these officers vii be retained is not known. though the opin- ion prevails that Treasurer Tait will be allowed to go. In this event the commis- sioners will employ additional help for the combined offices the head of the de- partment to be known as the city clerk and treasurer
 Offices of city physician and city health officer will also probably be consolidated, the new office being likely to devolve upon Dr c. c. Laslie, the present city health officer
 In regard to the abolition of the office Of city tax collector, there Is likely to be considerable opposition among the com missioners At the last meeting of the board President Gunter declared that he was opposed to doing away with this of flee, representing that the office, In his opinion, was too important to be dispensed with.
 Other matters are scheduled to come up before the board tomorrow night, and it is likely that the commissioners will have one of the most important meetings that has been held in weeks.
