NICARACUANS
KILL 4 MARINES
Leon Occupied by Americans,
But Not Without BIoodshed
REVOLT is NEARLY SUBDUED
Zeledon Was Coward-ReyoIution
General Flees from Battle and
Stays Women in Order to
Keep Destination Secret.

Westinghouse dispatch from San
Juan del Sur, Nicaragua, received
here reports that, contrary to first
reports, the town of Leon was not
taken without bloodshed.
On Sunday, when the American ma
rines and bluejackets under Lieuten-
ant Colonel Long marched into the
city of Leon to take possession, they
were met in the streets by an ire
sponsible mob, who opened fire. Three
Americans were killed and four
wounded. The marines returned the
fire, killing dfty of the mob and
wounding forty. The others were
driven out of town.
Chinandega is the capital of the
department of the same name, lying
about twenty-four miles northwest OF
Leon. Both towns have been in the
hands of the insurgents for weeks
past and the residents of both places
have suffered much distress.
Additional advices showing the
treachery and cowardice of General
Zeledon, who was killed while fleeing
from Barranca shortly before the bat
tie in which the rebels were routed
and four American marines killed,
were received by the State Depart
ment 1t was reported that one Of
the rebel officers who was captured
while fleeing with Zeledon declared
that the latter killed three women in
cold blood soon after he departed
from Masaya, in order that they might
not carry back news of his movements.
Minister Weitzel reported that refu-
gees say that after Zeledon urged his
men in the Barranca hills to resist any
attack to the end he fled first to
Masaya and took shelter in church,
and then left the city at the first sign
of the battle at Barranca. The rebels
hoisted a white flag from the church,
but when three federal officers, in
Guiding Colonel Alberto Chamorro, APP
preached to accept the supposed sur
render they opened fire on them.

Duty to Be Assessed.

The Dauphin County Court, with
Judge Kunkel and Judge McCarrell on
the bench, decided in the contest
brought by Democrats to have the
names of unassessed voters placed on
the assessors lists that it is the duty
of every voter to see that he is as
sessed. Thomas c. Egenrieder brought
the case to compel the assessor to
place his name on the list, and said
he did not know he had not been as
sessed until two weeks after the last
day for being assessed. The court in
timated that the registration laws are
somewhat conflicting, but that as far
as this city is concerned the assessors
are charged with no duties concerning
the voters list. The case was brought
as test case, as there are several
thousand unassessed persons in the
city.

BIG JACK" zEL|C,
GUNMAN, KILLED
ROSenthaI Murder Witness Slain
on Eve of Eecker Trial
BOWERY BUM THE ASSASSIN
Notorious Leader of Thugs Had Prom
ised District Attorney Whitman to
Corroborate "Jack" Roses Story
of Plot to Kill Rosenthal.

New York.-"Big Jack" Zelig, the
anH pickpocket in the city, was shot
and killed at Fourteenth street and
Second avenue by Philip Davidson,
Bowery drifter. Davidson had an en-
counter with Zelig few hours previ-
Gus, in which, Davidson says, ZeilS
blackjacked him and took $3.50 from
him. The killing OF Zelig was David
sons revenge.
On Zelig's person were found many
memoranda and several letters dealing
with the Rosenthal murder. Among
the letters were four, one from each OF
the men now in the Tombs indicted
for the actual murder of Herman
Rosenthal-"Gyp the Blood" HorowitZ,
Lefty Louie" Rosenberg, Whitley
Jack" Lewis and "Dago Frank" Giro
fici.
These letters contain no reference
to Lieut.. Becker, nor is Herman RIOS
enthal's name mentioned. out through
out them there runs tone of conf
fidence in Zelig's plans to get the
four free of the charge OF murder,
and in every one is a promise that
they will soon have freedom and will
be in Zelig's company. All the letters
are written in spirit of camaraderie
The letters indicate an even closer
intimacy between Zelig and the four
murderers than had been suspected.
The killing of Zelig on the eve of
the trial of Lieut.. Becker for the MUIR
der of Herman Rosenthal may lead to
undreamed of developments. though
there was every indication that behind
more than the personal revenge OF
Davidson.
Zeliz had promised District Attor-
ney Whitman that he would testify
that Jack Rose said that he went
to Zelig, at Becker's request, to get
the gunner to kill Rosenthal
Zelig would not have admitted that
he had rounded up the murderers, but
his testimony in the opinion of the
District Attorney was essential corro-
boration of a part OF Roses story in
eliminating Becker, which was in
great need of confederation
The death of Zelig also means that
the case against Policemen James c.
White and John c. Steinert, two of
Becker's old strong arm squad, now
under indictment for oppression and
perjury in causing the arrest of Zelig
for carrying concealed weapons and
swearing to the falsehood that he had
a pistol in his pocket, will have to be
dismissed.
Another result of the death of Zelig
which interested officials and under
world alike is that the $4,000 put up
for Zelig's bail on the Steinert-White
charge will be released.

Prisoners Do Not Run Away.

Warden John Francies of the West

WAR DECLARED

BIG MASSACRE is REPORTED

a Night Battle With MaIissori
Tribesmen.

London-Monteneg has declared
war against Turkey, and it is expected
Servia, Bulgaria and Greece will make
a similar declaration as soon as their
armies can be modified.
Montenegrin troops crossed the
frontier at once and surrounded
Berana, where one detachment was
annihilated by the Turks. There was
skirmishing on the Servian border
and encounters between Turks and
Greeks near Diskata. Bulgarians ex-
changed shots with Turks near Djum
bala.
One million men are facing each
other on the Turkish Balkan States
frontier.
1t is predicted that the first great
battle, probably, at Adrianople will
of Mukden.
King Nicholas of Montenegro and
Prince Mirko left Cettinje for the
front as guns roared and bells pealed.
European diplomats are bending
every effort to prevent the spreading
ers.
Greek vessels recently seized by the
Turks are being loaded with troops at
Constantinople.
A dispatch TO the Neues Wiener
Tageblatt from Oltenitza, Rumania,
reports massacre of Turks by Bull
garians at Turturkala, Bulgaria. Ac-
cording to the despatch agitators
from Hustchutt inflamed local Bull
gars and these, in the dead of night,
attacked the Turkish residents of the
town, Staying all but few who es-
capped across the border to OltenitZa
Eye witnesses are quoted as saying
that the police shared in the slaughter
and pillage.
On the next morning, the despatch
states, the streets of the Turkish quar-
ter were lined with piles of corpses,
among them the bodie; of women and
children.
Should the unexpected come about
and Greece, Servia end Bulgaria de-
cline to join Montenegro in declara-
ton of war, the hostilities would not
be likely to be serious to Turkey ex-
vept as she assumed the offensive and
invaded the mountain State. The
Montenegrins have a fighting reputa-
ton when they can 90 battle in their
own mountain and a guerilla warfare
there would cost Turkey dear Out
side of their own country the Monte
negrins, it is thought here, are too few
in numbers to be dangero us to power
of the size of Turkey, unless the little
State can get the help of her neigh
bors. That such a thing can happen
as that she will be ielt to fight alone
seems very doubtful, however.
