Fall Of Cabinet Presaaed.

A preliminary meeting of the two
parties in the chamber of deputies to-
day indicated a probability of the early
fall of the cabinet. The ministeriaiists
tried to arrange a joint meeting in or
der to present united front in the
time of a national crisis, but the OPP
positicnists declined, and in separate
meeting adopted a resolution that they
would refuse TO vote confidence in the
new ministry.
To Resist Italy to Bitter End.
The ministerialist meeting passed a
resolution in favor of resisting Italy
to the end, with reprisals, and by ev-
cry means in the country's power 1t
is doubtful if the grand vizier will
conform to this policy, in which case
the cabinets fate is sealed. There is
an unconfirned report tonight, now
ever, that the committee of union and
progress is now willing to negotiate
peace
Gaggins of Press Causes Feeling.
The press censorship and the at
tempts Of the authorities to keep the
proceedings of parliament secret are
leading to a deal of unp1ea Santness,
and there is a strong feeling against
Shefket Pasha, the minister, who is
said to be responsible for the gagging
of the press. Two deputies who were
ordered to appear before a courtmar-
tlal on charge of writing articles
against the grand vizier have refused
to appear. They protest that they
ought to be tried before the ordinary
courts.

BANKER FORCED TO
ADMIT HIS SHAME.
Told of Registering at Hotel With
Woman Under Fictitious Name.

Chicago, Oct 12-The committee of
United States senators investigating
Senator Lorimer's election brought out
at least one sedulously concealed cir
cumstance today, when Henry A.
Sheppard of Jerseyville, ILL.,, banker
and former state Representatives despite
his protests, was forced to strip bare
escapades which he had managed to
keep secet through two grand jury
inquiries and a previous senatorial in
yestigation of the Lorimer election.
Sheppard admitted under examina-
ton by United States Senator Luke
Lea that he used a fictitious name in
registering at a Chicago hotel in April
1910, because he was accompanied by
a woman who was not his wife. Tn
til this time Sheppard had insisted that
his object in using the fictitious name
was to avoid newspaper reporters.
The Jerseyville banker will be placed
on the witness stand again tomor-
row.
Members Of the senatorial commit
tee indicated their purpose to get at
the exact facts in the tangled history
of the Illinois senatorship with great
er emphasis today than that at any
time since the inquiry was resumed in
Chicago.
Sheppard admitted that on his ar
hotel under q fictitious name He said
he wanted to avoid reporters and 9TH
ers who might seek him.
Senator Kern asked Sheppard di-
rectly if his vote for Lorimer was cast
in return for Lorimer's promise to ap-
point "a postmaster of Shephard's
choice at Jerseyyille.
Yes, | voted for Mr.. Lorimer for
that purpose replied Sheppard.
When YOU registered at the Hotel
LaSalie on the occasion of your visit
to Chicago when you met Browne and
Wilson. what name did you user ask
ed Senator Lea
"A. j. Shafer, I think. of st. Louis
Was that all you wrote on the
register?'
"Wen, don't remember exactly"
You are sure that was all that was
on the register
We'll, I guess I registered as A ].
Shafer and wife, St. Louis, Mo-
wife -
No. I was not"
Wasn't that the real reason you
registered under an assumed name ?"
We'll. partly, yes
Sheppard protested to Senator Lea,
saying he Cid not consider this line
of questioning fair.
Il merely wanted to sdiscover the
real reason why you used a fictitious
name at that time replied Senator
Lea.
Attorney Marble then produced a
register of the Hotel LaSalle for Sat
urday. April %, 1910, and Shepard
identified the signature, "a J. Shafer
and wife, st. Louis, Mo-" as that
written by the witness.

LACKS LEADERSHIP.
Turkey FIoundering HopeIessiy for
Want of Binding Force.

London. Oct. 12.-The Daily Tele-
graphs Constantinople correspondent,
in reviewing the situation, says that
Turkey lacks a government, practical
leaders or q policy; that she is f1oun-
dering hopelessly and crumbling away
for want of a binding force to keep
her constituent elements together.
The problem of reconciling Islam
ism and constitutionalisn,' says the
correspondent, has proved insolub1e,
and the Young Turkish regime is sick
unto death. 1t is not impossible that
present events may lead to the deposit
ton of the sultan, the military sec
tion of the committee of union and
progress being in favor of placing the
heir apparent, Prince Yussof, on the
throne. Tussof is credited with an
iron will and great political sagacity.n
The same correspondent declares
that Turkey will refuse to sign a
peace treaty unless the sultans suz-
erainty in Tripoli is recognized, and
will simply fold her arms and wait,
confident of her ability to endure the
economical and financial consequences
better than can Italy"

EXCESSIVE EXPENDITURE.
Expert Politicians Say Stephenson

Milwaukee, Wis, Oct. 12.-Argument

date was to be taken as a presumption
that the money was used Wrongfully
occupied a great portion of the sena-
'torial investigation of United States
Senator Isaac Stephenson's election
today.
Congress may say a senatorial can
didate's expenses shall not exceed $10,-
600, but there is no logic in the world
which will show that just because he
spent more than 900 the money was
used corruptly." said Charles E. Little
field, counsel for Stephenson. If this
committee in it's report is to base a
presumption of guilt on the size of the
senator's expense, then we ask the
right to inquire of witnesses what is
their opinion of the cost of properly
conducting a campaign in Wlscon-
SIM
Senator Hepburn, the chairman, an
nounced that the committee would in
auire into the facts of the expenditures
regardless of what they aggregate. Il
am not convinced that congress was
justified in limiting senatorial candi-
dates expenditures to $4,000, he
added.
Senator George Sutherland said he
thought the amount spent by Senator
Stephenson warranted an inquiry along
the line that 1t was unreasonably large.
Mr.. Littlef1eld then asked D. F.
Riordan of Ashland, Wis. whether
Senator Stephenson was justified in
spending s1O7,793.
"He could have spent GREAT deal
more to neutrality-suspicious. s200,0o0,'' =
