President Issues Proclamation An.
nouncins Vice Presidents Death.
Washington, Nov. president Taft
issued proclamation announcing the
death OF Vice President Sherman in
which he paid warm tribute to the
memory of his late running mate. In
1t the executive said in part:
I'm his death the nation has lost
one of the most illustrious citizens
and one of it's most efficient and
faithful servants. AS legislator he
displayed such attributes of wide
craftsmanship as to commend him to
the people Of the United States for
the second highest office within tn r
gift. AS presiding officer of the senate
he won the respect and esteem OF all
for his fairness and impartiality. His
genial disposition and attractiveness
OF character endeared him to all whose
privilege 1t was to know him."
Acting Attorney General Fowler
formally announced the death OF Mr..
Sherman to the supreme court,

Sofa, Bulgaria, Nov. 1.-The Bull
Sarian army has completely routed
the main Turkish army under Nazim
Pasha. Nearly 100000 Turks fed In
disorder, leaving many killed and
wounded on the field.
The battle, which IL regarded al
the most important engagement since
the beginning OF the war, lasted three
entire days. 1t extended along the
line from Lule Burgas eastward to
Esrai. The Turkish front was over
thirty-one miles long.
The Ottoman troops retreated to

they were driven by the Bulgarians.

Adrianople Seems Doomed.
Already holding the railroad run
ming south from Adrianople the way
to Constantinople is now open to the
Bulgarians, who, it is believed, will
endeavor to strike another crushing
blow before the Turks have time to
collect and reorganize the remnants
Of the vast army that has been shat
tered in the three-day fight to the
south of Adrianople.
The Servian troops are extending
the area OF territory conquered by
them in Macedonia. 1t is reported that
they have crossed the mountains and
taken the town of Prisrend, with a
large quantity of Turkish war mate
rial. They are said also to have taken
Diakovo, still further to the west.
The Greeks, too, appear to be spread.

Grave fears are expressed in regard

stantinople, Saloniki and other Turk
ish ports, where the news of Turkish
defeats is being circulated In spite OF
the censorship and official denials.
Great Britain already has ordered a
warship to proceed to Saloniki for the
protection of British lives and prop
erty there and the action OF the other
powers In the matter is under con.
eideration.

NO DIFFERENCE TO VOTERS
Death Of Sherman Does Not Affect

New York, Nov. 1.-The call for the
special meeting OF the Republican ma
tional committee. to be held on Nov.
IL, week after election. to select a
successor to James S. Sherman as the
Republican candidate for vice presi-
dent. was telegraphed to all commit
teemen. Chairman Hilles said In con-
nection with the call:
mo difficulty or Inconvenience
arises to the voters at the election
next Tuesday, because the votes then
to be cast are for electors and not for
candidates for either president or vice
president and the death of Mr.. Sher-
man, therefore. does not affect the

Said to Have Reached Agreement
Looking to Intervention.

London, Nov. Whatever the re-
suit Of the great battle now being
fought between the Turkish and Bull
garian armies In the eastern part Of
the Balkan peninsula its conclusion
probably will give occasion for the in
tervention of the European powers. In
dispatches from Vienna 1t Is asserted
that the foreign ministers Of the Eu
ropean governments have reached e
tentative agreement in this matter
and In any event the entry of Bull
garian troops into Constantinople will
not be tolerated by the powers. Even
Russia Is disinclined to permit such

THE HoNKING OF THE HORN,

There will be earnest dissent from
the opinion, expressed the other day,
that the loud and discordant aut0mO-
bile horn Is 50 effective as To be prac-
tically necessary and is to be regarded
as having come to stay" Strangely
enough. il was expressed by prOmi-
nent authority at the international
biological Congress, the very place
where we should have expected such Il
proposition to he most vigorously com
hated. For certainly biologists, Of all
men. must appreciate the serious phys
ical and mental evils Of excessive noise,
and particularly of raucous and dis
cordant noises, and must deprecate any
addition Of new and offensive elements
to the public cac0phony.
There will be further disagreement
with the opinion cited on the funda-
mental ground Of efficiency. No doubt
the sudden blast Of Il harsh and power
fu horn Is startling. But j. may often
cause a momentary agitation tending
to defeat its real purpose. Probably

A STRADDLE.

The action of the American Bar AS
sOciation in declaring Messrs. William
II. Lewis. Butler L. Wilson and Will
lam II. Morris, negroes, TO have been
legally elected and entitled TO remain
members could hardly have been avoid
ed in decency and honor They had
been accepted before their color was
known, and the issue Of the legality Of
their election was raised only because
of their color For the association to
have followed the course Of the eXecu-
tive committee, which unseated them,
would have been TO stultify Itself.
But in adopting the resolution which
confirmed the election Of these men,
bers the association has placed itself in
an equivocal position. Apparently it
has neither the wish TO admit negroes
nor the courage to shut them out. On
It's face the resolution appears TO rec
ognize the possibility that they will be
come members in the future, yet it as
serts as the policy Of the association
THAT ut never has been contemplated
that members of the colored race
should become members Of this dsSo-
citation; and 1t requires sponsors for
candidates proposed in future to state
their color Altogether, 1t seems to be
a straddle unworthy OF body Of such
fine purpose and personnel. If there Is
one place where race prejudice should
not exist it is in an organization which
purpOrts to be representative Of a
learned profession whose members are
officers of the courts and who are
bound. in or out Of that organization,

aims and to work for the general inn

SEGREGATED POLICE.

MAYOR Gaynor says the way to stop
: police graft in this city sis to reduce
.contact with the sources Of graft down
.to the least possible eOntact-to one
: contact. if possible" BY that he ap-
parently means that contact Of the
Police Department with lawbreakers,
like gamblers, keepers of disorderly
houses and Sunday liquor sellers, must
be left 10 the patrOlman on the beat or
a plainclothes man. and captains and
inspectors and heads Of strong arm"
SQUADS must be kept away. Ii is Writ
ually a reiteration OF his order Of 1910
that policemen in uniform must keep
out Of saloons and leave the getting Of
evidence TO detectives, and his well
understood position that the patrolman
has no concern with suspected law
breaking which does not become so vio-
lent as to obtrude itself on him In his
capacity of peace officer. The idea
seems to be TO protect the morals of the
policeman by segregatlng him from
lawbreakers as much as possible
Also. the Mayor complains that his
efforts TO eliminate graft from the
Police Department have not been
backed up by assistance from others.
The truth is that the public In general
has never had any confidence in the
Mayors methods of dealing with [he
Police Department and with vice and
crime in this city. His election was
taken, whether correctly or not has
nothing to do with the fact, as sig
nal that times would be easy" rhe
word went round that so long as things
were "run on the quiet and there was
no rough stuff" almost anything would
go" This impression received support
from knowledge Of the Mayors position
when Supreme Court justice regarding
police raids, his condemnation of police
men who used their nightsticks in
making arrests, his orders to the pa
trolmen to keep out Of saloons, even if
they saw evidence Of lawbreaking ard
his speeches and letters about out
ward order and decency."
Just as the underworld. from all
these things, conceived the idea that
the Mayors policy was lGisscS jdire. 80

cynically-displayed than in Europe.
There would in time come reaction
Russia might gain COnstantinople, but
she could not make 1t a Russian city.
Austria-Hungary might gain Salonica,
but the Greeks would love the rule OF
Magyars no more than do the Croats.
or that of Austria no more than do

empires are composite. and they have
