SPECIAL SESSION
TALK AT CAPITAL

Springfield, Ill, Nov. 11-Gover-
Tor Deneen and his advisers are to
meet this afternoon to discuss the
calling of a special session of the leg
islature.
The governor will take up the mat
ter with Attorney General Stead then
END obtain an opinion as to whether
members Of the legislature elected
last Tuesday are entitled to take
their seats Immediately or must wait
until after the first of January.
Should Governor Deneen decide TO
call a special session, he is likely to
include in the call:
Election of a United States senator
TO succeed William LOrimer.
Reapportionment of the state into
congressional and senatorial districts.
Ratification of the United States
constitutional amendment providing
for the direct election of United
States senators.
L. y. Sherman, endorsed in the pri-
maries for United States senator. ex.
pressed the belief that old members
OF the legislature cannot sit in a spe-
cial session and that the special ses-
sion is dead.

sion passenger bound from New Or
leans to Woodville, Miss. The wreck
occurred at MONTE, La, 27 miles north
OF New Orleans.
The wreck occurred at midnight,
when a through freight crashed into
the rear OF an excursion train of 10
coaches. Five coaches of the passen-
ger train were burned and many of
the wreck victims are believed Gre
mated. Nine bodies had been re-
moved at 9 this morning
OF 13 bodies so far recovered, nine
are negroes, four whites. or the in
jured, who may total seventy or more,
the majority, it is said, are white.
The official statement of the COM
pany placed the blame on a brakeman
named Cunningham, who is charged
with failure to have signalled the
freight train, which was running 25
minutes behind the excursion train.

RENO IS DOOMED AS THE
HAVEN OF THE UNHAPPY

Reno, New, Nov. 11-One Of the
many surprising results Of the recent
elections is that after next January
Nevada will no longer be the divorce
center Of the United States. Complete
returns show that the next legislature
will have a majority opposed to the
present lax divorce laws. which have
brought thousands of women and men
into the state for the sole purpose of
freeing themselves from burdensome
matrimonial bonds.
Many OF the bona fide citizens of
the state have held that the frivolous
divorce colony of Reno was a public
scandal and more restrictive laws
was made a campaign issue. 1t is al
most certain that one of the first acts
OF the new Legislature will be to
amend the divorce laws and to fix the
residence necessary to obtain citizen
ship at one year instead of six
months.
State Senator W. D. Jones of Reno,
father Of the time-lock divorce law,
and regular democratic nominee, was
defeated for reelection on the divorce
law issue by a practically unknown
farmer nominated by petition.

RULE DEFEAT

London, Nov. 1.-THE cabinet was
defeated today by vote of 22S to 206
in the committee on home rule bill
The division was a snap one on the
financial provisions of the home rule
bill. The house of commons adjourn
ed. The government is considering its
position in view OF the adverse vote in
the committee The cabinet does not
necessarily have TO resign, and it is
unlikely it will do so in the face of an
international crisis.
There is considerable opposition by
members on the ministerial side of the
house to the financial provisions Of the
home rule bill. and some seventy lib
eral members have given voice to an
objection to the Irish parliament be-
ing given control of customs, as they
argue such control would enable the
Irish parliament to introduce protec-
ton.
The government faces three possible
courses. The cabinet can resign. it
can drop the home rule bill. or bring
forward a motion to recommit the bill
and obtain the opinion Of the full
house on the vote. One of the govern
ment whips stated the cabinet had de.
cided lot TO resign,

Matin. He declares their capture
seals the doom of the Turkish strong
hold. Operations began at daybreak
Thursday. The Bulgarian infantry ad-
vanced under a murderous fire of
shrapnel. The Turks sailed forth
from the forts to deliver a counter
attack. Bulgarian siege artillery
from surrounding hills rained a ter
rife hail of projectiles on the Tur-
hsh troops. Every moment saw fresh
companies of Turks marching out
from the city and the forts toward
the Bulgarians, who continued to
draw their lines closer around the
forts.
BULGAR COLORS RAISED.
The Turkish infantry resisted stub
bornly the Bulgarian advance, but
Lies gradually began to waver.
Cheering wildly, the Bulgarian in
fantry dashed forward and the Turks
broke and retreated. at noon the Bull
garian colors fluttered over the fort
Of kartaltepe; but Papaztepe still
held out. Night fall found the Turks
and Bulgarians still fighting. Sud
denly, in the dense darkness, a long
dazzling ray of light shot across the
sky from one of the crests held by
the Bulgarians, bringing the fort of
PapaZteDe clearly in view Then from
the fort Itselm another brilliant ray
shot out.
DESERT DEAD AND WOUNDED.
Cannon and rife fire, which had
teen slackening, again became brisk.
About the combatants searchlights
flashed and whirled immense rays
around, in which little balls of white
smoke caused by the bursting of
shrapnel ioated like flies in the sun
beam, making even deeper the sur
rounding blackness, which was pune
tlHed here and there by flashes from
the muzzles of cannon The fire from
Papaztepe fort gradually began to
slacken. Abruptly searchlights were
e1tinguished and the Bulgarian in
fantry began to storm the fort at the
point Of the bayonet. Se.ortly before
Eidnight they became masters of the
POSITION and the Turks were in fight.
They left their dead and dying by
hundreds on the field. The fort on

TAYLOR SYSTEM INQUIRY.
The subject Of scientific manage
ment" and the efforts Of the American
Federation to "thwart the schemes"
for the installation Of various manage
ment Systems" in government work
we're taken up at length by Mr.. Comp
ers. He reviewed the investigation of
the so-called Taylor system by a spe-
cial committee of the house.
The report also reviewed the work
for the extension of the federal en-
ployers' liability and workmen's COM
pensation act and pointed out various
laws passed by individual states pro-
viding for automatic compensation of
workmen for injuries.
In conclusion Mr.. Gompers' report
urged more extensive organization
work among the workers of all indus
tries and the general extension of the
federation.
The report of Secretary Frank Morri-
son of the federation showed total re-
ceipts of $207,373 for the year and ex-
penditures of $277,479. The federation
began the year with a balance of
S1S9,579. and closed the year with
$7O.lO5 less. In discussing the strikes
OF the year Mr.. Morrison's report said.
Reports from Ga national and inter
national organizations and from local
unions directly affiliated with the Amer
ican Federation Of Labor show that
there were 716 strikes, in which there
were 74,O69 involved. Of that num-
Der 66,S92 were benefited and GIT
not benefited. The total cost of the
strikes reported on was sf-gs6'1Bs-
Adding TO that amount $156,SS9 dona-
tions made by local unions to other

EUROPE FACES CRITICAL WEEK.
London, Nov. 11.-Europe is facing
one of the most critical weeks in its
history. 1t may end in a war in which
the whole of Europe will be involved
or may be remembered as a week in
which diplomacy succeeded in soIv-
fng problems that appeared insoluble
to many. The Bulgarian army is on
the point of entering Constantinople.
This will be resented by Russia. At
the same time the Turkish capital Is
threatened with massacre from with
in. There is acute conflict between the
aims of Austria-Hungary and Servia,
which if not arranged, might start an
European outbreak. The most hopeful
sign is the fact that moderating infiu-
ences are being brought to bear by
Germany, close ally of Aus
tria-Hungary. and by Bulgaria, com.
rade in arms of Servia. Both are ex.
erting themselves to avert conflict.
