of Photographers.

Cleveland, O., Oct. 3.-For the first
time since John D. Rockefeller broke
into public print, the local newspapers
today published photographs of the
oil king furnished by no less per-
sonage than Mr.. Rockefeller himself.
The reason for Mr.. Roci>efeller's $
record breaking action is contained IN
the fact that he leaves for his winter
home ut Porantico Hills, \. Y, this
afternoon and wished to avoid the
hcrde of newspaper photographers that
always beset him on his annual de-
parture for the. east. The Rockefeller
party, including Mr. and Mrs. Roeke-

comes from Vice Admiral FaTavelli,
who notified the Italian government
that he had given the Turkish COM
mander until noon Tuesday to sur
render.
Report of Bon1bardment.
A special edition of the Rome Tri-
buna published the statement that the
Italian cruisers. entered the 11arbor OF
Tripoli Tuesday afternoon, bombarded
the forts and the governors castle,
made a landing, and hoisted the Ital-
ian flag.
Turkish Transport Captured.
The most. important capture of the
war is that of the Turkish transport
Sabah, with a Turkish general, many
troops and much ammunition aboard.
May Bombard Prevesa.
Corgu says that the Duke of the
AbruZzi, in command of a torpedo
t1otilla off Prevesa, threatens a bonn
bardment of that place. The port of
answered by the powers to the effect
that they cannot offer mediation until
a basis of settlement is suggested on
the lines of the Italian demands.
Advices here from Constantinople
say that new cabinet has been NOM
mated and that it will continue the
policy looking to mediation.
Bound for the DardaneiIes.
Two Turkish battleships and a
cruiser have been sent to reinforce the
squadron in the Dardanelles. Turkey,
1t IS stated, has troops aboard two
Russian steamers now held up at Suez.
This tends to confirm the Vienna re-
port that Turkey has ordered the Ye-
men NeXped1tIonary force to occupy the
coast of the Italian colony of Eritrea,
with the support of q squadron of
warships.
6ombardment Not Confirmed.
London, Oct. 3.-The lapse of another
day leaves the Turco-Italian war with
out further development. There is no
confirmation of the alleged lombard
nent of Tripoli, which appears I'M
likely to have been begun, as it will be
several days before the expeditionary
force is ready to leave Italian shores.
Itaiy's One Anxiety.
Apparently the Italian government is
apprehensive that the Turkish fleet
may be able to hamper the passage of
the transports, and great precautions
are being taken. The expedition will
be started from ports in two seas,
rather than from South Italy and
Sicily, in order to minimize that dan
ger, and evidently Italy is no hurry to
get the expedition on the way.
Turkish Cabinet Crisis.
Another reason for the delay of war
like operations is the continuance of
the Turkish cabinet crisis. Clearly the
old officers are remaining in office
against their viii and are unable to
formulaet or agree upon any definite
line of action. 1t is even reported
that the minister of marine has re-
signed on account of fragrant disobedi-
ence of his orders to the fleet.
Meanwhile the pour parlers of the
powers continue without intefmission.
L is said that Russia is now support
ing Germany in her efforts to bring
about peace.
Turks Flew German Flag.
A report received from Agosta says
the Turkish transport Derna changed
her name to Eiitel FREDERICK and flew
the German flag while running the
blockade to Tripoli and that r Off
GERS We're proud of eluding pursuit.
But, it is pointed out in the report
she might have been captured 200
miles from Tripo1i had not the Ita1-
ians wanted her arrival at Tripoli and
the landing of arms as a pretext to
declare war
