DEATH KNELL OF COURT.
Democrats Will Also Control Inter-
state Commerce Commission.

Washington, Nov. abolition Of
the Commerce Court and a
change of the Interstate Commerce
Commission will be an important fu-
ture result Of the general election, it
was pointed out by the traffic experts
here today.
The death knell of the Commerce
Court was sounded when the Demo-
cratic landslide occurred, it is assert
ted. Democrats will also probably
control the l. C. G. within two years.
Life of the Commerce Court is now
limited by Congressional act to March
next. This court, the 'pet project"
of President Taft, is bitterly opposed
by Democratic leaders. 1t is deemed
certain that Democratic domination
in Congress will wipe out the court
Four Republicans and three Demo-
Gratis now compose the l. c. c. Of
these the term of Commissioner
Clark, of Iowa, a Republican, expires
December 81 next-during President
Taft's incumbency. Clark or another
Republican will certainly be appoint
ed by Taft. The term of Commits
sioner Judson C. Clements, of Geor-
gia, a Democrat, expires December 81,
1913, after Governor Wilson is inau-
gurated.
On December 81, 1914, Commission
er Prouty, Republican, closes seven
years of service. Prouty is the first
Republican whose term expires after
Wilson becomes President and his re-
tirement furnishes the first opportu-
nifty to give the Democrats majority
and control of the l. C. Con- Janu-
ary, l, 1915.

the football team of the Alexandra

a touch down.
In the second quarter j. Wenzel
faxed a run around left end. He pas
sed the ball to Curtin VINO forward

toucbdowns were made by j. Wen:cl
and Curtin, respectively, on line
rushes. At no time during the game
was Hartford closer than fifteen

A SLAUGHTER FEARED
Forty Thousand Wounded Turks in
City-Hospitals Inadequate to Meet
Demands Made Upon Them.

Constantsa, Roumania, Nov. t.
Refugees from Constantinople beg IN
arriving here by boat today. They
report d that every Christian who car
possibly do so is leaving the Turki:n
capital. Foreigners are sending their
wives and children either to this place
or to Athens.
Even with a strong naval force in
the Bosphorus, it was stated The
Powers will be able to do little to
prevent massacre if the troops get
out of hand. The warshps may lay
the city in ruins, but it is doubtful if
this will prevent the threatened
slaughter of Christians.
There are 10000 wounded Turks in
the sultan's capital at present, the
arrivals here are said. The hospitals
can accommodate only small proper
ton of the sufferers. The mosques,
hotels and public buildings are filled
with them and the authorities are
seizing private houses for hospital
use.
Paris, Nov. News that the Bui-
garians have broken the Turks last
line of defense, 25 miles from Con-
stantinople, was expected here hour
ly today.
Neither the $4,000 Kurds said to
be marching to aid in defending Con-
stantinople nor the warships which
the powers are rushing to protect for
eigners seemed likely Today to reach
the irdestination before Ghe city fell.
Rumors that the sultan is prepar-
ing to transfer his capital to Brusa,
in Asia Minor, were disquieting. Pre-
sumably he would take his army with
him and almost, without exception,
the Turkish troops have slaughtered
the inhabitants and burned the shops
and. dwellings of the towns they have
evacuated or through which they have
PASSED in retreat since the war be-
gan.
While it may be possible to save
the European residents Of the capl-
tai. the native Christian population
numbering fully 100000 will be wiped
out. The Turks are enraged because
it is by an alliance of Christian ma
.tions that they are being vanqulshed
and because they attribute their de-
feats directly to the disaffection OF
the Christian soldiers in their own
ranks.
The butchery at Rodosto, now con-
frmed. in which hundreds of Chris
tians were killed the women and
children thrown inSo the flames
of their own burning homes by the
Turks. was merely a mild Illustration
of what is feared in ConstantlnopLe

Larissa, Greece, Nov THAT the
Greeks have occupied Salonika was
officially announced here this after
noon.
Berlin, Nov. 7.-Three hundred BuI-
garians were killed by the explosion
of a single mine while storming the
Chatalja forts, it was stated here to-
Constantinople message. Several po-
sitions were captured from the Turks,
however, it was stated in a dispatch
from Sofia.
The Bulgarians have driven the
Turks from several positions at the
Chatalja forts, it was stade here to-
day.
A massacre of Christians is immin-
ent in Asia Minor as we'll as in Con-
stantinople, according to advices from
Smyrna. Both there and at Beirt, it
was asserted, there has been pill
laying, though no murders were re-
ported. 1t was feared these will fol-
low.
Sofia, Nov. T. To facilitate their
operations against Constantinople's
defenses, the Bulgarians today occu
pied several villages in Chatalja's
immediate vicinity.
Semlin, Hungary, Nov. THE Bull
garians today made desperate as
sault on the Chatalja forts, CONSTANT
nople's last line of defense. Bulga-
rian messages asserted that they
captured several POSITIONS; Turkey
advises that the attack was repul-
sed.
AS nearly as experts mere could
Judge the Turkish account, in this in
stance, was correct one. The Bull
garians had indeed it appeared
taken some of the outer works and
the Turks had retreated when the
mine exploded hurting the Bulgarians
in every direction, mangling many Of
them horribly and killing fully 300.
Instantly the Turks charged again,
drove the Bulgarians back and re-
occupied their previous positions
Budapest, Nov. 7.-Scutari is slow
ly starving to death, according to
stories received here through Monte
negrin sources from the few refugees
who have managed to escape from the
town and joined its besiegers for the
sake of food.
1t is also very cold and fuel IS
scarce. The trees and shrubs which
surround the wells in the gardens
have all been converted into fire wood
and even the wooden ornaments in the
houses rebuilt after the earthquake OF
1905 are being burned.
The Montenegrins keep up a steady
cannonade against the forts and oc-
cassionally attempt to take them by
desperate attack.
The shops in the town are al
closed.
There is no surgeon in Scutari anc
serious wounds generally means death

Thither came bands of NiZam's army
driven from Lule Burgas by the vic
torious Bulgars. The thin veneer of
European civilization vanished like
mist in the morning sunlight. A scene
of horror followed The town was CIV

places. Children were hurled into
raging flames. In their agony Of fear
many tried to get to the open sea IN

were massacred. In others those who
trusted to the sea found a merciful

 MONEY BACK
DodsOn'S Liver Tone Gets a Four Square Guarantee From Hes
 terly Drug Store

When an article is sold a drug gist who is willing to give it his personal guarantee, it's mighty strong proof of real merit.
 This is exactly the case with Dodson's Liver Tone. It is a pleasant tastings vegetable rem edy for a slow and sluggish liver. Since Dodson's Liver Tone came on the market the sale of calomel has gone way down. The req son is simply this: Dodson's Liver Tone is safe and harmless and guaranteed to be satisfac' tory-calomel is often unc ertain, sometimes dangerous and no druggist wants to guarantee that it won't knock you out of a day s work and maybe send you to bed.
 Hesterly Drug Store sell bod, sons Liver Tone and guarantees it. For you and for your chil- dren, it's good thing to keep in the house.
 Hesterly Drug Store will give you your money back if you think Dodson's Liver Tone is not worth the price. Keep your liver working and your liver will not keep you from working" is good advice to go by.
