VIENNA, Oct. 2i.-Tne fercesr
fighting .. the campaign marked the
resumption today of the Turko-Bui
galian struggle before Kirk Kilissa.
This was the third day OF the battle
and the increase In the fury OF the
Bulgarian attack, and of the Turkish
detenses, was attributed TO the de-
velopment of a Ranking movement b.
Czar Ferdinand's forces and to the
reported reinforcement of the Turks
by troops. withdrawn from the dis
tricts where the Servians and Greeks
arc operating, to oppose the more for
Bulgarian advance.

Turkish flank Is successful II will not
only catch the Turks between two
fires but will threaten their line OF
with Constantinople
ard place the Kirk Kilissa and
Adr anople defenses In q really des-
perate situation.
So certain were the best authorities
that the battle of Kirk Kilissa will
decide the Balkan struggle that it was
reliably reported today that thp
French foreign Office has already be-
gun framing peace proposals for sub
mission by the powers to the warning
states.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 24.-The

nounced by the government today
TIE Servians numbered about 100000
The vicinity of the town of Kuma-
novo, which theyServians had pre-
viously claimed TO have captured, Was
given as the scene OF the engagement.
The announcement, IL must be
noted, comes from an official source,
which. instead OF constituting guar
antee OF its accuracy, casts certain
amount of suspicion upon IL. 1t was
implicitly accepted as true by the
Turkish people, however, and aroused
enthusiasm among them.

BEAKES WINS in
SUPREME COURT
Ann Arbor Man is Declared
Democratic Nominee for Con-
gress in Second District
From a staff CorresDondsnt.

LANSING, Mich, Oct. 24.-In an
opinion rendered yesterday the SUI
preme court settled the controversy
over the Democratic nomination for
congress in the second district, by
declaring In favor OF Samuel w.
Beakes, OF Ann Arbor. A certificate
of election had already been granted
TO Burt ID. Chandler, of Hudson, and
II will be necessary for the state
board OF canvassers to meet and
grant a new certificate to Beakes.
w. Glenn Abbott, county clerk, OF
Montcalm county was denied a writ
of mandamus, compelling the board
of cahvassers OF that county to re-
convene and change the result OF the
primary vote. Harmon w. Taylor was
awarded the nomination for county
clerk on the Republican ticket over
Abbott. but the supreme court holds
that a technical error by the inspect
ors does not lnvalidate the whole
vote in one township as claimed by
Abbott.
The supreme court also declared
Claude c. Rite Is the Republican
candidate for Judge of probate In
Iron county. The present incumbent
Fred II. Abbott, asked a recount after
being defeated at the primaries. but
some OF the ballot boxes were not
properly sealed and the court held

bay in Lower California, that the doors of the senate were closed for three hours, while the resolution was debat- ed in secret session.
 Only Four Votes Against It.
 It finally passed with only four votes against it. Notwithstanding the com paratiYe unanimity of the Senate upon the note of warning, 1t is understood that the measure did not have the off, cial endorsement of the administra,- tion. IL was framed entirely outside the state department, and it is under stood that the executive branch of the government was not consulted with re- gard 10 the senate's pronouncement.
 Relates to MagdaIena Bay.
 The resolution arose from the re- ported attempt of a Japanese syndi- cate to secure land about MagdalenR bay. In the form finally adopted by the senate, 1t declares against the &C., qulsition of any threatening location by a foreign corporation, which has such relation to another government, not American. as to give that govern ment practical power or control for naval or military purposes"
 Applies to No Nation in Particular.
 IHOSe Who oppObeu ln6 IesoIuLion on it's final passage were Senators Cummins, McCumber. Percy and Stone. Demand was made in the sec ret session for the designation of the country toward which the resolution was directed. Those who supported 1t, including Senators Root, Lodge, Bur ton, Hitchcock and others. declared 1t was not a warning to any nation in particular, but & definition of this country's position, before embarras- sing situations might arise"

Proposition by conferees to Retain
 Them as Circuit Judges.

Washington, Aug. 2.-The we judges of the United States commetce court would be retained in office as circuit judges by an agreement reached to- day by the house and senate conferees on the legislative, executive and judi ciary appropriation bill.

In this manner, the number of circuit judges would ultimately drop to 29, the num- Der now authorized by law.
 The conference report was submit ted to the senate today. It provides also for a modification of the civil service term, fixing 1t at seven years. After each term federal civil employees would be required to again qualify for their places by examination or ether wise.

WOMEN MAKE A SCENE
Make Frantic Efforts to Reach Her Husband Says That She is Guilty in the Yves of God if Not of Men.

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 2.-Mrs. Daisy Opte Grace was declared not guilty 10 trying to kill her husband, by a jury here at five o'clock this evening. Mrs. Grace, wealthy and well known in her former home in Philadelphia and here, was on the verge of collapse when the twelve men who had decided her fats filed into the courtroom. When the verdict was announced she simply bowed her head.
 Her Blind Son Very lll.
 A few minutes after she had bean freed she was handed a telegram say ing that her blind son was very ill iu Philadelphia, and it is said she will leave for his bedside late tonight.
 Shakes Hands of Jurymen.
 Immediately after the verdict women struggled frantically to reach the place where Mrs. Grace sat, only to be forced back by officers. The jurymen remained in their places even after they had been discharged. Mrs. Grace arose and was assisted to the jury box. For the first time she showed a hRn of animation as silently she grasped the hand of each of the twelve men. Mrs. Grace was then escorted from the courtroom.
 Judges Charge to Jury.
 Argument in the case was concluded shortly after one o'clock this afternoon and Judge Roan immediately gave his charge to the jury. In the charge he said in part:
 You have heard the defendant make her statement She was not subject to examination or cross examination, and her statement was not made under oath. The jury can take that state ment as 1t sees 1t It can believe ff all, or reject it all, as it sees fit. In other words, it is for the jury to de- ter1nine the force and effect that shall be given her statement"
 Shooting Occurred Last March.
 Grace was found in bed at his home here the morning of March last. shot in the side. The bullet lodged against the spinal cord and since that time hs has been paralyzed from his waist down. He charged that his wife drug ged and shot him, intending to kiiI him to get the s55,000 insurance. Mrs Grace said Grace shot himself In a scuffie with her over possession of a revolver, after he had threatened 10 kill her.
 Mrs. Graces Version.
 Mrs. Grace at first maintained she knew nothing of the shooting. Yes | terday she was placed on the witness stand and told the story of the scufie. and stated that Grace had threatened to kill her several times. This was | the statement referred to in the judges | charge.
