Assemblies Tomorrow

didate at Recent Election Will Be
Chosen--Charles A. Plumley Likely
to Be Speaker of the House.

The Vermont general assembly of 1912
VIII meet at the State House in Mont
pelier tomorrow morning for the ben-
nial term, and Montpelier was filling up
with legislators, present state officials
and prospective officials to-day in antici-
patton OF the opening. One of the most
important duties of the new legislature
will be the election of a state ticket, the
duty devolvng upon the general assem-
bly, because of the failure of the voters
to accord majority at the recent cleo
ton.

this post-election contest were either al
ready in Montpelier or were expected to
be there before the day was out, ready

Rev. Fraser Metzger, the Progressive can
didate. was expected to arrive shortly
from his home in Randolph. All the
other candidates on the Republican state
ticket were in Montpelier to-day. The
expectation is that the entire Re-
publican .icket viii be elected by the
legislature.
As the hour for calling the legislature
to order approaches. it seems more GER
tain that Charles A. Plumley, representa-
tive-eect from Northfeld, q former clerk
OF the House, viii be elected speaker
Of that body, the other Republicans men
toned for the position having fallen
away Whether the Democrats will put

FEVERISH FOR WAR
BALKANS PREPARING
They Seem to Think That the Desired
Time Has Come for Attack on
Turkey, and Turkey Is Said
to Be Ready to Welcome
Such a War.

London, Oct. 1.-The armies of thu
Balkan states are preparing for war will
feversh activity, and the various ma
tions concerned appear to believe that
the desired moment at last has arrived
when they will be called upon to march
against Turkey.
The Turkish government, it is asserted
by diplomats, would like to find an easy
way out Of the present war with Italy
and think that the Balkans would fur
nish an outlet. The Balkan states, at
the same time. are anxious to get nj
Turkey while she is involved with one
OF the big powers.
At present there appears to be no rea-
son why any European power should
be involved in the event of the Balkans
war, although diplomats of every coun-
try recognize that it would take very
little to draw them into trouble, once
started.
Two possible explanations are offered,
the first, that coalition of the Balkan
states exists for the purpose of demand
ing from Turkey, before she has time
to conclude peace with Italy, the grant
of complete autonomy to the Macedoni-
an provinces; the second that. fearing
Turkey will seek an issue from her diff
culties at home and abroad in war, they
are preparing themselves for a possible
attack.
Everything now seems to depend on
whether the great powers will be able to
bring sufficient pressure to bear to pre-
vent the outbreak Of hostiltes and pre-
serve the status quo in the Balkans
Yesterdays developments appear fully to
confirm the existence of military under
standing between Bulgaria Servia
Greece and Montenegro directed against
Turkey.
The approach of winter is held to be
factor in favor of peace and in the Euro
pean capitals the hope is still cherished
that the powers will be successful The
Russian and British representatives at
Constantin0ple are energetically urging
upon the Porte the necessity OF carrying
into execution her promised reforms in
Macedonia and are applying pressure to
induce Turkey to modify her provocative
military preparations in the Adrianople
district

TWO JURORS SECURED
For Trial of Ettor and Giovannitti at
Salem

| Salem, Mass, Oct l.--Qf l06 talesmen
! who were examined by Judge Joseph F.
! Quinn in the superior court here yester-
| day for jury duty in the murder trial
of Joseph J. Ettor, Arturo Giovannitti
and Joseph Caruso growing out of the
Lawrence strike riot last winter. only
two were acceptable to court, common
wealth and defense. The majority We're
excused when they told the court they
had formed or expressed an opinion or
that their feelings were such as to "pre
clude them from bringing in verdict
of guilty where such a verdict might re-
suit in death to the defendants" Others
were excused because of advanced age
or poor health, and some were chal-
enged.
Judge Quinn declined to ask prospec.
tive jurors if they owned stock in any
of the Lawrence mills against which
the strike Of last winter was directed.
Counsel for Ettor and Giovannitti de-
sired the question asked.
The two men who occupied seats in the
jury box when court adjourned last night
were Christian W Larsen, Haverhill
hair dresser and Robert S. Stillman,
carpenter, of Rockport.
The commonwealth made use of a
dozen of the thirty-six peremptory chal-
lenges to which they are entitled, while
the defendants. who are allowed twenty
two challenges each, used in all about an
equal number
A crowd of several hundred people. |
many of them idle mill operatives from
surrounding cities. hung about the court
house throughout the day, but created 10

Guilty in keeping them within bounds. /
The only demonstration came when the I
prisoners were being taken in and out I
of the bui1ing, when the crowd gathered +
about the carriages and cheered loudly.
Fttor wore continuous smile during
these ovations. and Giovannitti and
Caruso responded TO some extent.
