.BULGAR|ANS CLAIM
ANOTHER VICTORY
Turks Also Claim to Have Won the
Battle-Montenegrins Hammer a.
City of Tarabosch
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
London, Eng, Oct. 30-The si-
lence of Sofia concerning the great
battle in Thrace has at last been
broken by brief dispatch announc-
ing Bulgarian victory and the
capture Of the town of Luleburgas.
This dispatch and equally laconic
dispatches from the Turkish COM
nander contain the only news avail
lble and still leave the situation
ra.her obscure Both sides claim
victory, but there is no reason to
doubt that the Turkish second line
of defense has been broken.
No definite news has been received
from the other allied armies since
yesterday.
The Montenegrins were still ham,
mering at Tarabosch but observing
caution to avoid needless sacrifice Of
life.

Wife, Children and Other Relatives
Present-Had Been in State Of
Coma All Day.

Utica, n. ", Oct. 30.-Vice Presi-
dent James 5. Sherman died at his
home here at $40 tonight.
Mrs. Shermans death came after a
| long illness and was due to uraemic
poisoning caused by Bright's disease.
He was unconscious when the end
came and had been in thai condition
for hours. He had been sinking
since early morning and it was real
lied that death was only a question
Of hours.
At seven O'Clock tonight tonight
there was slight relief caused by ap-
parent improvement Of the kidneys,
but it did not prove real or lasting.
At nine o'clock his condition rapidly
became worse until the end.
All members of his immediate
family witnessed the final scene. In
addition to Mrs. Sherman there were
in the death chamber their three sons
Sheriff., Richard IT, and Thomas NJ.
Sherman, and their wives; r. M. and
Sanford Sherman, brothers OF Mr..
Sherman; and Mrs L. b. Moore and
Mrs. H. j. Cookinham, sisters of Mr.
Sherman.
The arrangements for the funeral
are not announced tonight.
Shortly after the death Of the vice
president, DR.. Fayette Fl. Peck, the
attending physician, issued state
ment in which he said 1.-The vice
president died at 9:42 without re-
gaining consciousness for a moment.
He was perfectly quiet. He had

tial consciousness lasting about fif-
teen minutes. He died in state of
uraemic coma as a result of Bright's
disease, heart disease and arterius

board from holding an election in the
fourteen original districts, was sub
mitted to the court without argu-
ment. The case will probably be de-
cided tomorrow.
There seems to prevail among the
lawyers a theory that favorable de-
cision for the Independents in this
case, in view of the decision already
rendered, will be of small use to
them.
Tonight various opinions have
been heard as to the decisions, but
none of them throw much light upon
the point of what steps, if any, will
be taken by the losers.
Judge James B. Wells holds that
the decision is sound and is in con-
formity with the law and facts.
r. B. Creager, leading attorney for
the Independents, remarked that, if
the suit had been brought in time by
the democrats, the case might have
been reversed in the appellate court.

who attended the hearing were,

SECOND SUIT
DECIDED TODAY
Case Occupied Attention Of Court
Since Monday - Attracts Wide
Attention in South Texas.

Edinburg, Tex, Oct. 30-The in
dependent candidates will have no
place on the official ballot in Cam
eron coutny at the coming election.
brought by f. H. Goodrich, county
attorney OF Cameron cuonty, to en-
join County Clerk Joseph Webb from
placing the names of Independent
candidates for county offices on the
official ballots to be used in the cleo
tion of November ), Judge w. B.
Hopkins of the twenty-eighth ju-
dicial district this afternoon sus-
tanned the plea of the plaintiff. A
writ of mandamus was granted, put
ting the plaintiffs plea into effect
by forbidding the clerk to print the
names of the Independent candidates
concerned on the ballots.
The case was heard at the regular
term of Judge Hopkins court here.
The proceedings have attracted much
attention, not only in Brownsville
but in neighboring towns and coun-
ties. Many citizens of Brownsville
attended the hearing, not only those
who were directly interested in the
outcome, but many who were inter-
ested only as spectators.
The case has occupied the atten-
tion of the court since Monday.
The first point settled today was
the plea in abatement of A. B. Cole,
by which he sought to intervene in
the case and have himself recognized
as co-defendant in the suit. The
ruling of the court on this point was
that Mr.. Cole had no interest in the
case that entitled him to intervene.
The morning session was taken up
by Hon. James Dougherty of Bee
vile for the democrats, and Judge
Gordon Boone of Corpus Christi, who
represented the Independents.
In the afternoon Judge James B.
Wells for the democrats, and w. r.
Jones for the defendant Webb, oc-
cupied the time. At $50 o'clock
the decision was rendered in favor
of the plaintiff.
Most of the arguments in the case
turned upon construction of the Ter
rell election law.
Second Injunction Suit May be De-
cided Today.
The case in which A. B. Cole
prayed for an injunction to restrain
the election board, composed OF the
sheriff, county judge and county
clerk, from distributing election sup
plies to the fourteen original dis
tricts in Cameron county, to compel
said election board to issue supplies
to the election officers appointed In
