ALLIED ARMIES HAVE
TURKS SURROUNDED
Desperate Battles Fought, and Thousands Killed and
Wounded on Both Sides-Hand to Hand Con.
flicts-Alies Working Well Together

London, Oct 25-Bulgarian and
Greek armies have successfully exc
cuted their parts of the first stage of
the war against Turkey by the cap
ture of Kirk Klisseh and the Turkish
base in the town of Servia. Their al
lies, Montenegro and Seryia, are now
working desperately to do their share
by overcoming the Turkish hosts at
Scutari and Kumanova.
Details of the terrible battle be-
tween Bulgarians and the Turks at
Kirk Kilisseh are still lacking. 1t is
said the Bulgarians expected the for
tress to hold out longer, and it's fall
within a week of the opening of hos
tilities is considered by them a great
achievement The yictors are now con-
fident of their ability to cut the COM
munications between Adrianople and
Constantinop' and to take the form
er city. That will, however, in the
op nion of military expects, be diff
ferent task, as the forts at Adriano-
PIE are thoroughly up to date and are
connected by an underground motor
railway line.
Even after the fortress was over
come by the fire of the Bulgarian ar
tillery, fierce fighting took p ace in
the streets of the town
The Turks, on their part declare
that the evacuation of Kirk Kilisseh
was "stragetical retirement"
phrase which became familiar during
the Russian retreat in Manchuria.
They will have big army at Adrian
ople and along the line to Constanti-
nople, and If, as the Bulgarians say,
only $4,000 Asiatic troops have so far
reached the theatre of war, the Turks
have strong reinforcements coming
up.
In the district of Novi Pazar, the
Montenegrin and Servian troops are
within few miles of each other and
will join forces.
A Turkish army of $4,000 men
faces the alternative of unconditional
surrender or slaughter near the town
of Servia, according to dispatch to
Athens
The Turkish troops are hedged in
on the east by high cliffs and on the
west by the torrents of the river
Aliakmen, the fords of which are
held by Greeks. On the south and
southwest, too, there is a Greek ar
my, flushed with victory.
After their defeat on Wednesday
the Turks threw away their rifles,
great coats and everything likely to
impede Their flight Their surrender
the dispatch adds, can only be a mat
ter of few hours.

INSIDE STORY
IS TOLD BY
WITNESS
SENSATION SPRUNG in CASE
Detective Gives Sensational
Evidence

Lake Chares, La, Oct. 25-"They
have the wrong man in Jail. l did
the dirty work. l killed that -
scab."
Thus L. T. Mabry, late state organ
izer for Texas of the Brotherhood of
Timber Workers, now a detective.
quoted Ed Lehman, one of the de-
PENDANTS in the Grabow murder case,
in his testimony this afternoon
Lehman, the witness said, was
standing in front of the Arcade Thea
tre in Lake Charles, talking about the
Grabow riot, then ten days old. When
he made the statement a few later
he was arrested and taken to Jail.
Mabry's testimony was admitted aft
er battle royal had been waged by
the attorneys for over an hour.
Judge Overton ruled that he would
admit any isolated circumstance or
conversation tending to prove con-
spiracy, providing that one or more
of the defendants was shown to be d.
rectly connected with such circum-
stances or conversation, with the pro-
viso that in the event conspiracy
was not proved the evidence should
then be considered by the jury only
as affecting the defendant or defend
ants present.
Mabry said he was a millwright and
saw filer and had worked at his trade
in mills all over the South
He had been detective for several
months. He joined the Brotherhood OF
Timber Workers at Deridder, La, in
July, 1911; in May, 1912, Mabry said
he attended timber workers conven-
ton in Alexandria and served as in
ner guard.
The proceedings were secret. Will
liam D. Haywood and Covington Hall
attended as representatives of the In
dustrial Workers of the Wor d, En-
erson and Lehman of the defendants
were there.
Mabry declared the speakers advis-
ed tampering with machines, loosening
bolts, carrying off nuts, cutting belts,
saving logs short, driving spikes in
them and dropping emery dust III the
bearings; in general putting the ma
chinery in pnfriendly saw mills "on
strike"
Haywood, Mabry said spoke first of
this, then lehman advised it. Hay
wood also suggested, according to Ma
bry's testimony, that local lodges be
urged to adopt those tactics. Mabry
was practically the only witness of the
afternoon, and his testimony practical
ly completes the states case.

The recent snow storms in the west
were the worst in history, and the rail-

AIDES than they ever had before. That
the work done by Santa Fe officers

cient, is evidenced by the following
letter from w. B. Storey, jr., vice

Kouns and F. c. Fox, bulletined at
the station and in the shops:
Now that the troubles due to snow
and cold may be considered as over. /
wish to thank you, and through you
the general superintendent, superin-
tendents, enginemen and trainmen,
and all employees who have endured
so much and made such efforts dur
ing our period of stress, and to assure
YOU that what was accomplished has
been appreciated. While our trains
have been late and our service appar-
emily disorganized, we understand the
conditions under which the wark was
performed, and feel that if it had not
been for the unceasing efforts of ev-
ervone. matters would have been much
worse. Many of our passengers, even
these delayed for days, have borne
witness to the courteous treatment re-
ceived, and spoken of us only in words
of praise"
