TIDR|NGTON SPEAKS
TO A LARGE CROWD
Attacks Republicans and
Democrats Urges Me-
groes to Vote for Teddy.

Declaring that the Republicans and
Democrats had given the colored peo-
pie of Wayne county nothing but
bunch of unkept promises, that the
Republican party had been unfaithful
to its traditions, and that Theodore
Roosevelt was the only leader who
was a friend of the negro, E. G. It'd
rington, a prominent negro of Indiana,
last evening pleaded with local ne
groes to vote the Progressive ticket.
In former campaigns Harrington
stumped the state for the Republican
party, and his conversion to the Pro-
gressive cause was considered a sig
nal manifestation of the attitude of
the colored people toward the Repub-
lican party. Perhaps no colored man
in Indiana exerts the influence It'd
rington does. He spoke in the council
chamber last evening to an enthusiast
tic crowd of white and black men He
was introduced by Will w. Keller, Pro-
gressive nominee for prosecuting at
torney.
Mr.. Keller urged the negroes to vote
for the Progressive party saying that
it is the only party which will improve
the condition of the negro. "Over fifty
years ago thousands of negroes were
held in bondage in this country Then
it was that Abraham Lincoln and Oil
yer Morton left the old Wing party
and united their efforts to assist the
Republican party. That party waged a
campaign which eventually gave the
colored people their freedom. That
party not senible of it's trust has de-
generated and become corrupt. AS

TURKISH WAkSHIPS SUNK
The italians Rescue Many Of the
Turkish Seamen AS Their Vessels
Go Down, But Large Num-
Der Perish.

Rome.--The first important naval
battle in the TuTko-ltalian war &C.
Cured in the Red Sea on January Z,
with the result that an Italian cruiser
squadron sank seven Turkish gun
boats after a sharp conflict. A large
number of Turkish seamen went down
with their ships, but others were
rescued by boats from the Italian war
ships. A Turkish yacht was captured
and is being brought to Italy. The
fight was just outside the Bay Of
kuntida, small-sized town with a
garrison and two forts, about 500
miles north of Alden.
The Turks were believed by the
Italians to be preparing to convoy a
military expedition which was to cross
Egypt and join the Turkish forces in
1rpoli.
During the combat the Turkish gun
ners displayed utter incompetence,
their small guns being fired wildly.
The shells from the Italian ships
were not directed at the Turkish
yacht Fauvette. which accompanied
the gunboats, and she was the only
unit of the Turkish tiotilla which was
not destroyed during the fight.
The Italian warships which took the
principal part in the battle were the
cruiser Piemonte and the destroyers
Garibaldino and Artigliere. The COM
mander-in-chief had received orders to
destroy or capture the Turkish gun
boats
AS soon as the Italian warships Pie
monte. Garibaldino and Artigliere en-.
countered the Turkish sunboats. a
short distance out of the Bay of Kun
fida. they sent shots across their bows
and called on them to surrender The
Turkish vessels gave no sign of com
pliance and the Italians Immediately
opened terrific fire, throwing in a
hail of shells from their broadsides.
The Turkish gunners replied feebly,
but did not succeed in striking the
Italian vessels.
All seven Of the Turkish boats were
soon on fire and in a few minutes be-
gan TO sink
Boats were lowered from the Italian
warships which picked up many Turk
ish seamen, but a large number were
drowned
