"That does make a great difference,

two pitious, fearful eyes were bent up

Don't you reckon if Uncle Bob is
alive, like the judge says, and he's
ever going to find me, he had ought

''But it hasn't been such great
while, Hannibal it's only that so
much has happened to you. If he was
very badly hurt it may have been
weeks before he could travel; and
l.len when ne could, perhaps he went
back to that tavern to try to learn
what had became of you. But we may
be quite certain he will never abandon
his search until he has made every
possible effort to find you, dear! That
means he will sooner or later come to
west Tennessee, for there will always
be the hope that you have found your
way here"

NATIONAL LEGISLATION ON
 WoRKMEN'S COMPENSATION.
Discussed at Meeting of National Civic
 Federation.

New York, Nov 25.-National legis- lat1on on workmen's compensation was discussed today at a largely attended meeting held under the auspices of the National Civic Federation. Commis- siOners on workmen's compensation from many states, delegates appointed by governors of states in which no commissions have been created, labor representatives, employers of labor and members of trade and bar associations were in attendance and took part in the discussions.
 August Belmont, chairman of the Civic Federation's department on con- pensatfon for industrial accidents and their prevention, presided and in his opening address he discussed the ques- tton How may the injured workman be guaranteed his compensation in case of insolvency on the part of his en- ployers?" and also outlined the Civic Federation's model compensation act, which provides that next to wages due, an injured workman's claim shall be a first lien upon a business.
 United States Senator Sutherland of Utah, speaking in support of the pro- posed federal act which is based in the Civic F'ederation's act, said that under the present law the railroads of the country are paying out annually $lo, o85, 900 as compensation to workmen for injuries, but under the proposed law $1S,000,000 for this purpose would be available.
 W. J. Carter, president of the Broth erhood of Locomotive Bremen and Enginemen, said he was opposed tc federal legislation on the question al present, declaring that he desired tc see what the individual states would do and then profit by their mistakes.

TURKS NEGLIGENT.
Show No Inclination to Accept Aid for
 Their Wounded.

London, Nov. 26.-A Constantinople despatch to the Daily News says:
 Despite the utter inadequacy of their own hospitals and attendants, the Turks appear unwilling to make use of the European corps of volun- teers to anything like the extent they might Certain medical units sent from England, though abundantly provided with equipment, have been unable to fill half the beds owing to the indo- lence or impotence of the Ottoman off, cials.
 Those in charge of the English medical corps have been asked to send part of their staff for service among the refugees. While they can- not entirely reJect this proposal be- cause the condition of the refugees is deplorable nevertheless the request has met with a deal of harsh com ment, the workers declaring that they came out to care for the wounded, not as soup distributors. One English unit. with 200 empty beds. went out to the byways looking for wounded and brought in one Turk with his ankle shattered. He is now being cared for by four surgeons and sixteen nurses, hh addition to- several dresers and as- slstants. The lone patient is being fed on chicken broth, meat juices and other delfcacies and is liberally sup piled with cigarettes"

TO PREVENT OYSTER DAMAGE. Growers to Ask Legislature to Stop
 Pollution of Sound Waters.

Bridgeport, Nov. 25.-Connecticut oysters growers are united in an earnest effort. and with the aid of the national association of oyster growers, to rid the waters of the state from the pollution which is de- ing so much damage to the oyster crop, It is believed that Bridgeport, New Haven and other municipalities along the Sound shore are liable for damages and the matter will shortly be taken to the courts The Cennec- ticut Oyster Growers association has appointed a committee te handle the subject in it's behalf and this conn mittee will be aided by eminent law yers. The subject will also. be taken before the coming. session of the state legislature, where bills will be in-s trodueed calling fer regulation and abatement of this pollution, whether by private individuals or corporations or the citities themselves. It is be- lieyed that the ceal tar found in the waters in Bridgeport and New Haven harbors causes much damage to eys- termen, and fishermen, as well. The gas companies which supply the mu- nicipalities are held responsible fer this pollution, which is said to have also driven away the bluefish-

Suspicion That Turkey May Adopt an IrreconcilabIe
 Attitude With That End in View
NOT YET KNOWN IF ARMISTICE IS ARRANGED
Penpoentares Hold Meeting But No Information Regard ing Proceedings Has Been Disclosed Bulgarian News paper Accuses Turks of Playing For Tme-Americans Not Welcomed in War Zone-Wounded Are Neqlected

London, Nov. 26.-The extreme anx- iety manifested by all the European powers to deny rumors of warlike preparations and to represent the po- 1itical situation as peaceful and sat- isfactory, is in itself an indication on how slender a thread the issues of peace and war in Europe now hang.
 Turkey May Hold Out.
 The danger arises not alone from the conflicting interests of Austria, Servia and the other powers, but from the possibility that Turkey, following the traditional policy of profiting by the embodiment of the great powers, may adopt an irreconcilable attitude in the peace negotiations.
 PIenipotentiaries Meet.
 Beyond the fact that the plenipoten- tiaries met today nothing is yet known not even whether an armistice has been arranged. There appears to be a suspension of operations at the Tchatalja lines, apparently by tacit consent rather than by formal agree ment.
 Bulgarian Criticism of Turkey.
 The semi official Bulgarian news paper Mir, in an editorial voices the governmental irritation at Turkeys dilatory methods of negotiation and accuses the porte of deliberately nominating delegates from remote points in order to gain time. This probably refers to Osman Nizami Pasha, the ambassador to Germany, who arrived at Constantinople from Berlin only today.
 Servia Stirring up Austria.
 In the diplomatic field the most inn portant reports are that Servia de- clines to reply to the Austrian de- mands until the war is concluded and that Germany has not undertaken to mediate between Austria and Russia. The news that Servia is throwing ob- stacles in the way of the Austrian representative in search of Prochaska, the Austrian consul at Prisrend, is another disquieting feature.
 Fighting Around AdrianopIe.
 Fighting continues around Adrian ople, where the besieging forces are reported to have drawn their investing circles to within two-thirds of mile of the town.

JIM McNAMARA TO DO IT
More Testimony by McManisaI at "Dy- namiter's" Trial-Arrests ForestalIed the Destruction of California City.

Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 25.-The con- tentions of the defense that the Me- Namaras and Ortie B.

 McManieaI Admits Previous Arrests.
 Senator John w. Kern for the de- fense cross examined McManigal.
 Was the pay you received from the McNamaras your motive in caus- ing so many explosions?" ?" asked Sem ator Kern.
 No, it was not money. Herbert 8. Hockin, when he first started men to the dynamiting business, terrorized me. saying if I didn't do it he would pre- vent me from getting work. Then I was prompted by foolish notion that it was good for the ironworRers' un- ion. My mind was inf1amed with the idea 1t would build up the union" McManigal admitted he had been ar- rested three times, twice for larceny and once for disorderly conduct. After the Los Angeles Times build | ing was blown up, when you and James B. were hunting in the woods 1 of Wisconsin, you say he admitted to you that he deliberately killed twenty | one persons; that he was a printer, l and he knew he would kill someone when he put the bomb in the Times building, and yet you continued to as- sociate with him?"
 Yes, I did"
 McManigal had said that when J. ], l McNamara, secretary of the union planned wholesale explosions" includ- Ing the blowing of Los Angeles city he was afraid the executive board would cut off his allowance" | Received $525 for One Job.
 Now you say McNamara in order tc
 get more money proposed to stea
 S150,000 by killing the treasurer of thu

The court then allowed a motion to compel a recount of the votes in Bourbon county.
 This double decision of the court means that recounts may be secured in any of the counties, but that ballots which were rejected by the various election boards as being defective and illegal cannot be included.
