LAWYERS QUIT
REFUSE TO PERFECT APPEAL TO
 HIGHER COURT.
Story Told "ln Confidence" Is That Attorney Mcintyre Is Not Con
 vnced of Innocence.

New York, Nov. 4.-John F. McIn- tyre and John w. Hart, who repre- sented Charles Becker during his trial for the murder of Herman Rosenthal, and who were expected to prepare his trial, have abandoned the case of the former police lieutenant.
 They will not get ready any briefs to be submitted to the Court of Ap- peals. They will not file the formal notices of an appeal. They will not even see Becker. They are through with him.
 This news, full explanation of which is lacking, did not come from the law yers themselves. Mcintyre was out of town and Hart refused either to affirm or deny it. But it came from man who is in the confidence of both.
 Why" was the big question that followed the announcement of the law yers' retirement. It wasn't because Becker could not raise sufficient funds to continue them in his employ. He still has lots Of backing if not a lot of actual cash, and the attorneys are not the sort to drop big case on that account.

 Political Ties Sundered.

This year of 1912 has seen such a sundering of political ties as does not often occur in America but it is all referable to socalled progressive ism," just as slavery was responsible for the diverse tickets in 1860 and the monetary question for the split-up of the Democratic party in in 1896.
 The Democrats this year present a more united front than for many years past
 The Republican party, on the other hand, has found itself divided for the first time since the civil war The in surgents' who opposed the Republican national convention at Chicago, after the renomination of President Taft met in the same city a few weeks later and formed the Progressive party.
 The situation on the Republican side then became complicated by the fact that the political affiliations of the electors in many of the states were in doubt being claimed by both the Taft and Roosevelt factions. The electoral controversies were finally settled in a manner more or less satisfactory to both sides, though new and more se- rious perplexities may result from the same source in case the balloting is close Tuesday.
 A court decision has left Taft with out representation on the electoral ticket in California, where the Roose- welt electors appear as Republicans. In Oklahoma the two Roosevelt elect ers appearing on the Republican ticket havo agreed to vote for Taft If he car ries the state. A similar agreement has been reached in Oregon. In South Dakota and Nebraska the Taft electors appear on the ballot by petition. In the other states where controversies existed the original Roosevelt electors have been replaced on the Republican ticket by Taft supporters.
 Election Might Go to House.
 The next electoral college will be composed of 5S1 members, and the successful candidates for president and vice president must secure total of at least 265 to be elected. With three leading tickets in the field instead of two. as in former presidential cam paigns of late years, it is easily within the range of possibilities that none of the three might secure sufficient electoral vote, and the election of the next president would devolv upon the national house of representatives.

100000 MEN IN LIFE AND
 DEATH STRUGGLE IN TURKEY

London, Nov. 4.-Graphic descrip- tions of the weeklong battle between the Turkish and Bulgarian armies in the southwestern corner of the Balkan peninsula now are reaching London. It would appear that nearly 100000 men have been engaged in the life and death struggle, which, according to some accounts, is still in progress.
 The fighting on the left wing of the Turkish army, according to one cor respondent was terribly severe. In their attack on Lule Burgas the Bull garians found Torgut Shefket Pasha with his troops in position on the slopes behind the town. The Bulga- rians brought up six batteries and shelled the position Monday evening. They then carried out an infantry at tack, which was unsuccessful.
 Turk Lines Fall Back.
 Tuesday the Bulgarian artillery set tied down to a methodical preparatory bombardment to which the Turkish ar, tillery replied vigorously. In the artil-
 
 either side.
 Tuesday afternoon it became clear to the Turkish commander that the Bulgarians were pushing up masses of reinforo ements to the firing line to give weight to their attack. This meant that the position at Lule Burgas was becoming untenable.
 The Turkish advance line fell back in admirable order to Torgut Shefket Pasha's main position on the left, guarding the iron railway bridge across the River Erkene.
 Town Set on Fire.
 The town itself remained unoccupied by either side during Tuesday night and throughout Wednesday, when it was set on fire by the explosion of Bulgarian shells. Close battle was joined between the opposing forces at dawn on Wednesday and ragged with equal fierceness along the whole front for distance of 20 miles.
 The Bulgarians began by a deter mined effort to take the railway bridge, but the Turkish troops, en- trenched near the head of the bridge, drove them back with a sweeping fire.
 Toward noon the Bulgarian artillery concentrated it's fire on the center of the Turkish position as a prelude to an assault The shrapnel fire was per fectly timed and the Turkish infantry suffered heavily.
 No description of the later stages of the battle has yet come through, but the reports from Sofia assert that the Bulgarians carried everything before them.
 Further dispatches from Sofia say the Turkish troops offered an obsti- nate resistance. The conflicts contin- ued until late on Wednesday night, with wavering success. Eventually, however, the Turks gave way all along the line. the Bulgarians captur- ing the railway station at Muradli and thus commanding the railroad line to Saloniki, which is now isolated. The Christian soldiers in the Turk sh army continue to desert in great numbers. They declare they were all ways placed in the front line of bat tie.

I'm the evening he spoke on
Heart and Hand" and said that
Gods heart is always with us
