 "rhe time for intervention by tho pow CTS is near, whether requested or not. If Turkey Is defeated in the impending battle between Adrianople and Constan- tinople 1t would be high time for Eu- rope to look to it's interests, since the destruction Of European Turkey could not be tolerated, nor could the oecupa- ton of Cnstantlnople by another power.
 "Blood enough has been split and peace can be offered 10 both sides. If Bulgaria is defeated, with prospects Of acceptance. Austria is not likely to at tack Servia. as that would mean in- mediate war with the Balkan alliance. A decisive battle is expected in few days, hence intervention Is probable within n week"

WILSON DECLARES AGAINST FREE TRADE Governor Is Satirical in His
 Address REPLIES TO MIR. TAFT Says He Has Been Misquoted As to His Tariff Views and That He
 Has Aften Defined His
 Position
REPLIES TO MIR. TAFT

Newark. N. J., October 29.--Gov Woodrow Wilson in three speeches IfCed win ss tiricsl attacks on his og. ponents, emphasized in North Jersey tonight that he was not believer In free trade and that the democratic party did not intend to disturb legit:- mate business or the prosperity of the country If put into power.
 The democratic nominee declared those of his opponents who constantly asked him to define his position on the tariff could not read the English lam guage.'
 He said he had repeated time and again in his speeches his policy of cut ting out of the tariff merely the spe- cial privileges lodged in 1t. "No thoughtful democrat he added, has advocated free trade"
 Replies to Taft on Panics
 To President Tafts statements pub lished today with regard to the panic cl the early 90's, Governor wilso1 made an extended reply, first at Mont Clair. where he addressed big au- dience and again at Newark, where he spoke tonight. He said it was wrong to attribute that panic to the tariff legislation because the panic started before the tariff bill was enacted" He attributed the panic to republican cur rency legislation.
 q find | am invited to return to my old occupation" said the governor. T used to be teacher of history and find it necessary to teach it some more, I find myself abashed in facing the necessity of teaching to the President of the United States.
 And when the President of the United States makes himself respon- sible for the statement that the panic of 1893 was due to a tariff bill that came a year afterward and came be- cause of MT. Cleveland's administration can only express my deep regret that the President of the United States has not read the history of tho United States.
 Says Taft Was in Igorance
 Any statement that MT. Taft makes I believe to be made in honesty, but this statement. if he has made it, he has made in ignoranoe because the ranic of 1893 can be shown to have arisen out of currency Legislation of d government absolutely controlled by the republican party. The panic Of 1893 was on its way before MT. cleve- land became President and it matured merely in the first part of his admin istration and would have been stopped If the Senate of the United States mad ->~~~-~~ tContinued on Page Ninc.)

 Muskogee Okla. October e9-Three held up and robbed southbound Mis- souri, Kansas and Texas train No. 9 early today at Wirth Okla, six miles south of Eufaula. The bandits Jagged the train as 1t rounded a curve onto small trestle which they had set on fire. Uncouping the engine, express car and baggage car from the other coaches. the bandits ordered the en- gineer to run half mile further south where the express safe was blown and ransacked.

 The robbery was very spectacular. The men timed their moveemnt to the second. Number was on time. As the train made the curve the bridge was In flames Three masked men stopped the train.

Deep Interest in Washington

was manifested today throughout Wash ington in the condition of Vice President Sherman at Utica. His illness was the subject of repeated inquiry at the White House and was discussed at the cabinet meeting. Confidence was expressed in many quarters that the vice-presdent would recover, although the most opti- mistic did not expect him to be in the chair when the Senate reconvened in December
 The absence of the presiding officer however. will give the Senate no new probler' to solve. The bitter fight over the election of a president pro tenn ended last session in an agreement to 1ave Senator Gallinger, New Hampshire republican, and Senator Bacon, Georgia, !. democrat. alternate in the chair Just before Congress adjourned, Senator Bacon was chosen to serve as president pro tenn until December IS, and the under standing is that the rotation with Sem ator Gallinger will continue indefinitely
 Students of constitutional proced- ure and of the American electoral sys- tenn busied themselves today with in vcstigation of the complications which would arise should the vice president s illness result fatally or compel his withdra wal before the election
 No precedents were found covering the situation of withdrawal or death Of vice presidential nominee.
 National Committee Might Act inasmuch as party procedure is not governed by statute some of the par 1iamentarians said the party had no legal right to handle the situation in hatever manner it pleased. The opin - ion was expressed that this would re suit in the national or executive con- mittee selecting a substitute candidate and printing his name on the ballot in states where the tickets have not already been sent to the press.
 The discussion which arose over the death of Horace Greedy in 1872 was recalled in the investigation today. His death occurred after the November election but before tile electoral col lege met to select a President and vice president. The ability of electors to vote for others than those nominated hy the party convention or whose names had been printed on the ballot was then demonstrated. many demo- : cratic leaders voting for others than Greedy. The Georgia electors conceived it their duty to vote for Greedy aI- though he was dead. The Senate de- eided that the Georgia vote should be counted, but the House voted that it should not It is contended that since Congress amended the maner of can wasting the ballots in 1887 as a result of the Hayes Tilden contest votes for candidate dying between the Novern- Der election and the meeting of the electoral colleges on the second Mon day In January must be counted by Congress unless they are held to be votes not regularly given The law says that mo electoral vote or votes from any state which shall have beel regularly given, from which but one return has been received. shall be re- tected"
 Serious Situation Could Develop
 The most serious situation could de- velop, it is said. from the death of a choice of the electoral college between the time the colleges voted and the in- alguration. The constitution authorizes
