United States About to Conclude a
 Treaty With Italy.

Washington, Oct 2S.-The family of a foreigner in it's home country, while the head of the house is working in America for it's support, hereafter may be able to sue for damages for injury or death precisely as it would if the family lived in the United States. A treaty is about to be concluded be- tween the United States and Italy conferring this right upon Italian sub jects. The right also may be claimed by foreigners of any other nationality under the favored nation clause and as the senate committee on foreign relations already is favorably record ed, the ratification of the treaty seems assured.
 The negotiations have been in prog ress kuietly for several months and their successful conclusion will h. welcomed by the millions of Italians and men of other naliOna iiiies Wh1 have been employed tp a great eXtert on public works and in manufacturing, establishments in the Enited States

 Children Testify Against Defendant.

New Haven. Conn, Oct. 2S.-After an alI-day session. the hearing which began this morning in the case of for mer Patrolman John F. Greene, Jr., who is charged with having committed an assault upon Is year old Ella Blau in this city on May 25 last. was ad- iourned this afternoon until Wednes- day morning. Four witnesses were put on by the state during the day, the chief of them being the Blau girl. The proceedings are being held before Judge Walter H. Clark of Hartford in the superior court room. Owing to the nature of the case, instructions were given by the court that only persons who had business at the hearing should be admitted, and as result a large crowd which had sought entrance was turned away.

 The Blau girl told in detail of being accosted by a policeman in uniform while on the street with a girl friend, of being lifted up by the officer. who remarked that she was nice and 1at, of being taken down the street under pretense of going to the police station, and of being taken into a yard and shed, where it is charged the assault WAS AIlCI " dl us ohC W tS subjected to 8 rigid cross examination by counsel for the defense, but was unshaken in her testimony. She also told of having previously identified Green as the policeman who commit ted the assault and again today so identified him.

 The Blau girl was the first witness called and was on the stand practl' cally the whole morning and good part of the afternoon.
 Three Children as Witnesses.
 The second witness was Elizabeth Allen, girl about the same age as the Blau girl. She testified to being with Miss Blau when the officer spoke to them. She also identified Greene as the man with whom the Blau girl had gone down the street.
 Florence McManus testified to seeing the Blau girl and the officer on the street together.
 Harry Schatzman, a young boy, tes- tified to seeing from a window in Yaie hall, on Franklin street. a policeman and girl in a shed near by. It is Tn this shed the alleged assault is said to have taken place.

THE VICE PRESIDENCY.
Interesting Possibilities Should Sher- man Withdraw from Ticket.

Washington, Oct 2S.-The illness of Vice President Sherman and specula- ton over the possibilities of his with drawal from the republican ticket be- cause of the precarious condition of his health. aroused discussion here today over the probable methods of filling his place.
 The general opinion expressed was that the republican national commit tee or the executive committee pos- sessed power to fill a vacancy upon the ticket. No one here professes to know whether the Chicago convention specifically provided for such an emergency. The report of the 1908 convention does not appear to show that such provision was made then and the stenographic report of the con- vention this year has not yet been printed.
 Should a vacancy occur upon the re- publican ticket either before or after election some republican leaders here today argued the electors would have power to vote for any candidate for vice president they might choose. Precedents were admitted to be lack ing, but it was declared that only par ty discipline and honor had in the past bound electors to vote for their U, however, that a choice by the repub- liean national committee or it's execu a tive committee would fail to receive the support of the Taft electors.
 Ordinarily. should there be no vice president, the president pro tenn. of the senate would preside over that body and the line of succession to the presidency would be to the secre- tery of state For the last several months, however. the present senate has been unable to agree upon a pres ident pro tenn. and the office has been vacant
 Some time ago, 1t was learned to. day, Chairman Charles D. Hilles oi the republican national committed made exhaustive inquiries as to the necessity of certifying to the variou. secretaries of states the names of th, republican candidates and as a resul - certified the names of Taft and Sher. man for printing upon ballots in al states A supplemental petition, how ever probably would be accepted il most states where ballots have no already been printed. The procedur where ballots already have been print cd was not known.

Only Vigorous Offensive or Intervention of Powers
 Can Spare Them That Fate
TURKISH ARMY APPEARS TO BE DEMORALIzED
Everywhere is Retiring Before Forces of the Aies-Co
 mssariat Service Reported to be in DepIorabe Stste- Efforts For Intervention Revved-Bugaran Army StH Advancing and Blows Up Bridge Over Thoru River.

London, Ovt. 2S.-An interesting question at the present moment is the whereabouts of the Turkish army, of which nothing definite is known. The news that Eski- Baba has been taken by the Bulgarian cavalry apparently without resistance, shows that Nazim Pasha's army is not where it was supposed to have been-on the line between Kuleli Burgas to Lule Burgas. It may be further west. in the direction of Demolica. but it is generally sup posed that it has retired from the line of the railway and entrenched itself on the long line from Demolica to Thorlu.
 Something Decisive in Few Days.
 Constantinople despatches continue to speak of the residence of the Turk ish army to take the offensive. In any case a few days must see some thing decisive.
 The victorious Bulgarian army is still advancing. 1t has occupied Bun arhissar and is marching towards Ku- leli Burgas. It is reported that the Bulgarians have blown pa bridge over the Thorlu river. showing that the turning movement is making rapid progress
 Turks May Be Driven from Europe.
 Unless the Turks are able to take the defensive vigorously, the present indication is that they will be driven out of Europe altogether, failing in- reference by the powers at the pres ent stage to end the war, as happened in the Russian campaigns against Tur- key in 1928 and 1878 when Russia had captured Adrianople and was at the gates of Constantinople.
 Renewed Activity for Intervention.
 There have been renewed activities with regard to European intervention in the past few days and great diplo- matic activity in London. The Turk ish ambassador had two hours confer ence on Sunday at the French em- bassy and an important conference was held today at the British foreisr office between Sir Edward Grey, tht foreign secretary, Winston Spencer Churchill first lord of the admiralty and Lieut.. .-Col.

BALDWIN CONTINUES HIS
 ASSAULTS ON MAC DONALD.
Refers to Him at Bridgeport as "our
 Lord High Commissioner"

Bridgeport, Oct. 2s.-"We have too many. standing commissions in this state," said Governor Simeon E. Bald win in a speech at a democratic rally here tonight. T urged on the last gen. eral assembly, he continued, 'the con- solidatbon of some of them, and the abolition of some more of them, but they were held almost exclusively by republicans, and my suggestions were not enthusiastically received by their political friends"
 The governor also declared that the national government had delegated too much of its powers to commissions, de- voted some attention to Highway Com missioner James H. Macdonald, to whom he referred as "our lord high commissioner" and discussed the mat ter of campaign contributions.

Utica. x. r., Oct. 2S.-James 8. Sherman, vice president of the United States, is seriously i'll. and steadily falling at his home here. While ms physician, Dr. Fayette H. Peck, Do. heves there is no immediate danger or death, yet the distinguished patients condition is such that 1t is matter OF conjecture how much longer he can withstand the ravages of the disease with which he is afflicted.
 Steadily Failing Since August.
 Dr. Peck at S o'clock tonight author ized this statement regarding MT. Sherman's illness and his present con- dition: MT Sherman has been sick all of this year, due to condition of the kid neys. hardening of the arteries and softening of the muscles of the nearI which is somewhat stretched. MT. Sherman had an attack in the Adiron- dacks, at Big Moose, to>be exact, In June, and I expected him to die.' He got out of Big Moose safely and inn proved steadily and very satisfactorily until the latter part of August. Since then his condition has been aggra- vated and he has been steadily falling. No Immediate Danger of Death.
  came back from Connecticut, where he went 10 rest, he has been dressed only once, and that was a week ago Fri day, when, against my protest, he went to the polls to register.
 MT sherman Is now in the condi- ton which that sort of trouble leads to and is very seriously i'll, but there is, I believe, no immediate danger of death"
 Showed Improvement Last Evening. After a day of discouraging symp- toms, Mir. Sherman rallied at nightfall and continued to show improvement during the evening. This Is due in no small measure to the powerful medl- cines. Whether he can much longer successfully combat the attack of kid ney trouble and complications, first apparent more than a year ago, is q matter of grave doubt. The members f his family are with him constantly and his intimate friends have been notified that he had been falling steadily.
 Diagnosis is Confirmed.
 Shortly before ii o'clock tonight q friend of the vice president made pulp lie this statement signed by the at lending physicians.
 After consultation tonight in the case of Vice President sherman, the diagnosis of weakened heart muscle, the result of overwork, with some kid- ney involvement, is confirmed.
 (Signed)
 HENRY l.. ELSNER."
 'F. H. PECK,
 Dr. Peck is the family physician and Dr. Elsncr Is a specialist residing in Syracuse.
 More Encouragement.
 Late tonight Mir. Sherman was quietly sleeping. The physicians had an extended consultation tonight and after a careful examination of the patient said they found greater source of encouragement and decided im- provement in his condition.
