DRIVER OF THE

New York, Oct. 26-It il now de-
MED that william Shapiro. driver of

to District Attorney Whitman before

Whitman himself denied It tonight. az

1t was also denied tonight that

So tonight. like trapped jackals. alb
ject, trembling and afraid. the four
former bosom friends. the alleged hire
lings Of Charles Becker in the killing
OF the gambler, were cringing in
their cells. praying tht towards prayer,
hoping fervently to be the one chosen
to sacrifice the rest. The report that
Schepps had made a full confession,
positively identifying the gunmen as
the murderers. had plunged them into
deepest despair. those about them de-
clare, and with the rumor that one
OF them would be allowed to save
timself, s1eam Of hope returned.
Becker, It was said tonight. has
again lost some OF the hope which
buoyed him up earlier in the day. He
seems resigned to his fate. not believ-
Ing much In the possible success Of

London, Oct. 27 (sunday).-A special
to tho Central News early today re-
ported the capture Of Scutari by the
Monte ar,ns. The town is the most
important in northern Albania. II had
etrona defenses and formidable gar
rison. Its capture has been considered
imminent, however, for some time. The
Central News message lacks confirma-
tion.
London, Oct. 26.-"The Balkan allies
are fighting for territory-there's no
use In trying to obscure the issue"
Cedmo Miyatowitch, ex-Servian min
lister in London and one of the ablest
and best known diplomats In the Balk-
ans. made this statement here tonight.
In fact" he continued, the Balkan
ruelrs have already agreed on divi-
sion. The powers have known all about
1t from the first. They don't really
think they can prevent us from profit
ing by the war. No. we anticipate no
trouble with Austria" That the powers
are aware the Balkan states plan big
territorial grab was borne out by the
furry In diplomatic circles at the same
time Miyatovitch was giving out his
as sure as he professed to be, however,
that the division would be attended by
no trouble.
Explains Powers Activity.
Indeed, the members Of the diplo-
matte corps hardly tried to hide their
conviction that the division cannot be
affected without a clash between Aus
tria and Russia. This explained the
feverish anxiety they displayed to per-
suade the Vienna and st. Petersburg
governments to join compact to settle
the Balkan struggle without further
bloodshed. For If Austria and Russia
come to blows there is no telling how
many more powers will be drawn into
the conflict. The best judges think
none of the big ones can keep out of
1t. Austria and Russia showed no dis
position to join such compact, how
ever. Neither did Germany. The Aus
trians and Russians. It was said, told
the powers as 1t is reported they told
Turkey earlier In the day that they
preferred to reserve liberty OF action"
Germany, 1t was understood, expressed
the opinion that Intervention at present
would be "inopportune."
Germany 10 Interested.
Germany's interests are closely bound
up with Austria's and the concensus Of
opinion is that the kaiser will stand
by his ally.
Military experts said today that they
considered Adrianople's fall practically
certain. probably within few hours.

John M. Haines, Republican guberna-
torial candidate, and from 5000 to 1000
plurality over Governor James H. Haw-
ley. If Mr.. Martin. therefore. breaks
even. and It is believed here by party
leaders, based on reports received, that
he will do far better than that in north
Idaho, his election as governor Of the
state Of Idaho Nov. Is assured. A
canvass of the southern, eastern and
western counties Of the state by Pro-
gressive state headquarters through
their county chairmen. shows strong
Progressive sentiment and big vote
Is forecasted for Mr.. Martin. 1t also
predicts Governor Hawley will be Sec
ond in majority of these counties and
Haines very poor third. The national
Progressive ticket will be given staunch
support In spite Of the disfranchising
decision and the balance OF the state
ticket will be given almost as large a
vote ss received by Martin.
Reports from southeastern Idaho
counties are very favorable for Roose-
velt. Martin and the entire Progress
sive state ticket. Summarized these
reports, as received at state headquar-
ters by State Chairman Gipson. are as
follows:
Bonneville county-It is impossible
to state at this time whether Martin
will get a plurality In this county. but
he will certainly beat Haines and will
get many votes which two years ago
went to Hawley. Roosevelt sentiment
there never was stronger than at this
time, and the result vii. probably be
about third for each Of the presiden-
tial candidates.
Bingham county-Martin will get a
plurality in Bingham county. although
the county will probably go to Taft by
small plurality. Haines will run a
poor third, while Hawley will lose
many votes that he received two years
ago.
organization has been perfected and Is
doing good work. Hawley will probab-
ly receive a small plurality in this
county. although he will poll fewer
votes than twp years ago Martin and
f1aines VIII run ABOUT even. hooseVeit
Will get a good vote but will probably
fail to carry the county.
Oneida county-Progressive senti-
ment Is very strong in this county and
Roosevelt will probably secure a plur-
atty Haines, because Of deals with
county divisionists. may secure a plur-
ality in the county but Martin will run
close to him. Martin and Hawley will
receive about the same vote.
Blaine county-This county will re-
main Democratic and Wilson and Haw-
ley will probably secure plurality

ceive a heavier vote than Haines and

If you have good thing push it
along. Advertise it.
The weak spot in some advertising
usually lies in the fact that you are
not consistent in keeping your bust
ness before the buying public.
Keep a-pounding at the public all
the time, let them know you have the
goods, that the price is right, and that
you have confidence in the quality.
In listing prices on goods a $1.9s
mark will have more effect than a
$500 mark, because most everyone
nowadays is seeking to save the odd
pennies.
