ONLY OFFICIAL COUNT
CAN DETERMINE CALIFORNIA

SACRAMENTO, Nov. 9-Since an Of
fetal count will probably be necessary
To determine whether Roosevelt or VIII
sen has carried California, the eyes of
bet money on the result are turned 70
the office of Secretary of State Jordan,
who is required by law to certify the
final and official returns to Governor
johnson. This certificate must be
made by Monday, November 25th.
All precinct returns in all of the So
counties will be canvassed by the re-
spective boards of supervisors or cleo
tion commissions, beginning next Mon
day morning. The clerks will then
certify to the secretary of state the
total vote on each candidate and for
and against each measure appearing
on the ballot. Jordan will begin tabu-
lating the returns from the counties
as soon the first ones arrive
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 9-With a
dozen varying computations of the CAL
ifornia result the question whether
Roosevelt or Wilson has carried the
state is as much a mystery as when
the polls closed Tuesday. A survey of
all counts indicated that Roosevelt has
present plurality of between 500 and
700 votes, which it is believed Wilson
cannot overcome.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. st is not
even possible to state definitely how
many precincts in the state are miss
ing, as no central office is available
The probability is that about 80 are
not reported. Some are for Roosevelt
and some for wilson. The proportion
of gain is impossible to say until the
last ballot is scanned
NEW YORK, Nov. 9-Senators
O'Gorman of New York, Raynor of
Maryland and Reed of Missouri are
mentioned today possibilities for
place in President elect Wilson's cab
met. The only thing standing in the
way Of the selection is believed to
be fear that others than progressive
Democrats will be elected in their
places.

GENERAL EUROPEAN WAR
SEEMS TO Be imminent
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONEl

Bulgarian officials have denied that
the forces have captured the Tchatalja
forts. This, it is believed. is done
to prevent the powers protestin &
against the entrance of the Bulgars
into Constantinople.
WASHINGTON, Nov. s.-The Ameri-
can revenue cutter Unalga, en- route
| around the world, was notified today
to await further orders at Suez. 1t

rescue Americans in Turkey.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 9.-With ex-
pectations of receiving momentary
sailing orders, marines on Long Island
are today rushing supplies aboard the
! cruisers Tennessee and Montana
SOFIA, Nov. 9.-Surpassing in sol
emnity and significance any events of
the history of Europe for 500 years,
Car Ferdinand of Bulgaria plans to
end the Turkish war by forcible en-
trance into Constantinople. The an
nouncement was made to King Peter
of Servia and King George of Greece,
who accepted the invitation along with
Nicholas of Montenegro, to assist in
TIL downfall of Islam, which will be
celebrated by solemn mass in the
mosque of st. Sophia. The date of en-
try of the four Christians into Con-
stantinople is not announced, but It
is expected it will be postponed un-
til Turkeys power is finally broken.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 9.-It is Of
ficially announced that the Turks have
won brillian victory at Marash, near
Adrianople, after SO hours of the blood
lest fighting of the war. Foreigners
discredit the report.
CONSTANZA, Nov. 9.-Constantino-
pie reports say a proclamation of a
holy war has been issued by the fren-
zied Turks, who already have begun
the slaughter of Christians. 1t is un-
derstood the butchery began in the
foreign business section. Guards
about the consulates have been dou-
bled.
VIENNA, Nov, 9.-Kiammil Pasha
told the ambassadors at Constantinople
that he and the sultan would rather
perish than abandon the capital, ac-
cording to a report from Turkis!
sources. He said, THE sovereign awaits
death at the palace, 1 in my office :
LONDON, Nov. 9.-The Turks have
been driven in disorder from the Tcha
talja forts and the Bulgarians now
have practically a clear road into Con
stantinople.
| Some Of the most severe fighting OF
the war attended this final defeat OF
the Turkish troops. The battle lasted
! for two days. A handto-hand strug-
gle ensued before the Bulgarians beat
down the desperate defenders, and
poured in through breaches in the de-
| fense made by their artillery.
Then the Turks broke and fled.
Panic has broken out in Constants
nople. At the demand of the foreign
ambassadors, entertainments are being
thrown up at San .Stefano and Kiat-
kane to check the mob of soldiers who
are fleeing toward the city.

event, reinforcements from the Russia n
fleet in the Black sea will also be
called upon to assist in saving life and
property.
Before the Bulgarians forced the
Tchatalja forts, half a dozen villages
in the vicinity of this last line of de-
fense were occupied by them.
The dispatches say that the Turk ;
fought with fanatical fury, as if the
eye of Allah were upon them in their
last defense of the city Acts of un
paralleled bravery were displayed on
both sides. The Bulgarians were re-
peatedly forced back by the army,
which had repeatedly suffered a series
of crushing defeats. The losses sus.
tanned by both armies will mount int O
the thousands.

WAS MEMBER OF FAMOUS
AND WEALTHY FAMILY

LONDON, March 22-The death of
Arthur Sassoon, which occurred h,re
few days ago, has again brought to
rublic attention the remarkable family
Of which he was one of the most prom
inent members. The story of the rise
OF the Sassoon family is as ronanti.
as chapter from the Arabian
Nights"
Abdailah Sassoon, the father Of Ar
thur Sassoon, was Bagdad Jew. For
ages the family had been settled in
Bagdad. They had the Semitic talent
ior making money and keeping it, and
transmitted the gift to their posterity.
AS merchants, bankers and financiers
they waxed rich, generation after gen.
GRAFTON. Finally Abdallah Sassoon' )
great wealth aroused the envy of his
neighbors and he found it advisable 10
quit Bagdad and locate in Bombay.
In Bombay old Abdallah continued
to accumulate wealth. He extended
his connections and became as power
ful in Asia and northern Africa as the
great Rothschild family was in Eu-
rope. Several of his sons, including
the one who has just passed away,
were sent to England to be educated
and remained here.
London society did not welcome the
wealthy Oriental Jews at first. So the
Sassoons waited patiently. And they
hadn't long to wait either. Just how
they managed it nobody knows, but it
was long before the late King Ed
ward, then prince of Wales, had dined
with each one of the brothers in turn.
Society gasped, but shifted no more.
From that time on the Sassoons were
welcomed everywhere. To the time Of
his death King Edward remained firm
in his friendships and frequently be-
slowed honors and other marks Of his
favor upon the three brothers.
