SHERIFF STOPS FIGHT
 AT ATHLETIC CLUB

Jacobs. street cars could not be run on Sundays"
 "rhe Athletic club said Mr. Jacobs, later in the evening. "is an organization too old and of too much prestige to run the risk of any adverse criticism regarding it's athletic programme. Of course, we could have held the bout and have taken chances on the enforcement of a law so old and out of use. But we can't afford to do anything that might be detrimental to the standing of the club here, or lay it open to the criticism of some who are not in sympathy with our work"
 Regarding the bout itself, MT. Jacobs stated that it had been arranged and was being held for the instruction of the ath- letic club members in the art of boxing.
 We offer no prizes' he said. ''rhe bout was to have been held for the purpose of stimulating interest among the club mem bers in boxing, and only the member7 and their friends were invited. We never had these men here for any other pur- pose. As for Lawrence, he has been re- tained by the club as an instructor in the art of boxing, and will probably be with us for two weeks or more"
 Mir Miles, director of the athletic club, said that he was very much disappointed over the interference with the bout. He stated that the promoters of the bout were not notified to that effect until o'clock last night, and that the failure to hold the bout had placed upon the club the expense of getting the two men here
 T can't see the objection to boxing said Mir. Miles. Tt Is much better to have young boys proficient in this art and confident in themselves for self de- fense than to have them carrying a deadly weapon

Constantinople, November 6.-The Turkish government appears at present to be able to control the local situa- tion. The patrols in the streets have been strengthened by the arrival of a large number of military police from the cities of Ismid and Brusa, about 50 miles from the capital.
 More troops have been sent to guard the approaches to Constantinople, so as to prevent the ingress of fugitives.
 Notwithstanding these measures and the arrival of the foreign war vessels, the public is still unsettled. astonished and dumfounded at the repeated Turk ish reverses. It is now recognized on all sides that the end has come. The threat of the Turks to abandon Con- stantinople entirely, which was made by the Ottoman foreign minister to an ambassador yesterday, is believed to have been intended to stimulate the action of the powers in the matter of intervention between the belligerents.
 The Turkish headquarters staff has decided to take up it's position im- mediately behind the town of Tchatalja and await there the coming fight with the Bulgarian troops.
 The Turkish soldiers place much of the blame for their non-success on the use of the searchlights blythe Bulga- rians, who were thus enabled to carry out night attacks.

 During the last session of the dele gations extraordinary credits for the army and navy were voted with praise- worthy lf-abnegation. Through these credits the efficiency of our defensive forces have been strengthened in a gratifying manner"

The Post doubts whether Woodrow Will sons promises will result in anything more than did Roosevelts or Taft's. It continues
 "The dollar is always more powerful than the Presidents will in America, and the trusts which Roosevelt was unable 10 masticate probably will prove too tough for Wilson,
 The Tageblatt hopes that Wilson's ad- vent will inaugurate just and lasting commercial relations between the United States and Germany and perhaps serve as an example to European protection ists.
 The newspapers in nearly all classes express the opinion that the anti-im- psrialism and reserved attitude toward world politics of the democrats will be modified now that they have attained power.
