TURKS ROUTED BY
DARING OF BULCARS
Ottoman Forces Greatly Out
numbered Opponents.

Sofia, Nov. "Details thus far OF
the rout of the immense Turkish army
by the Bulgarians show that the Bul-
garian forces were numerically far in
ferior.
The Turkish army is reported to
have aggregated 100000 men. 1t in
cluded the garrison which had retreat
ed from the captured fortress of Kirk
Kilisseh as well as the main body of
Turkish troops which had advanced
from Constantinople. 1t comprised
practically the whole of the Turkish
troops remaining in Europe apart from
the garrisons OF Adrianople, Saloniki,
Monastir, Janina, Scutari and a few
other towns.
The great army was under the per
sonal command of Nazim Pasha, min
lister of war and commanderin-chief,
who was assisted by some of the ablest
Turkish generals.
The fight opened with the discovery
by the Turks of number of Bull
garian cavalry scouts. The Turks drew
ly followed by lines of Bulgarian
skirmishers. who were succeeded by
the main Bulgarian army in fighting
formation.
The battle, which was destined to
last several days and result in the de-
feat Of the Turks, was soon in nrog-
ress all along the line.
The Bulgarian troops repeatedly de-
livered fierce attacks, some times at
one point, some times at another,
along the Turkish line extending from
Lule Burgas to Serai.
The Turkish troops offered desper-
ate resistance, but were unable to
Withstand the onslaught of the impetu-
GUS Bulgarians, and finally they turned
and fed in great disorder toward
Tchorlu, in the south.
The losses of the Ottoman army are
reported to have been enormous in
dead, wounded and prisoners, as we'll
as ammunition and supplies.

Hundreds Of Letters Read to

Indianapolis, Nov. 2.-Seven hum

CITY is WITHOUT DEFENSE
Constantinople Now Open to the BuI.
garians.

Kustendji, Roumania, Nov. 2.-(By
wireless from Constantinople) e)-The
defeat of the Turkish army under Ma.
xim Pasha opens the way to CONSTANT
nople for the Bulgarian troops. This
will, in the opinion of diplomatic cir.
cles, lead to situation which will al
most l. evitably bring about European
com ions.
Th most ediate danger, howev-
er, concerns osition of this city
itself. Most !. ties agree that no
real defense can be made along the
Tchatalja line, supposed to protect the
capital.
In the event of hordes of beaten and
demoralized soldiers falling back on
the capital it is difficult to see what
human Intervention could save the
city from sack and pillage. This fear
is present with most of the inhabit-
ants, who realize that the fate of the
Turkish empire hangs in the balance.

BOGUS COINS ON DECLINE
Chief Wilkie Thinks Good Times
Cause Decrease.

Washington, Nov. 2.-Counterfeiting
materially decreased in this country
during the fiscal year 1912. John y.
Wilkie, chief OF the United States Sc
cret service. in his annual report de-
scribed the Improvement largely to an
era OF prosperity. The representative
value of spurious notes and coins cir
culated during the year was $4,000,
the lowest since 1907, he said.
ut has been noted" the report stat
ed, that any extended period OF good
times is marked by decline in the
activity of criminals who specialize In
counterfeiting. When legitimate work
Is easily obtained there is less in
ducement to resort to illegitimate pur-
suits.
There were 324 counterfeiters ar.
rested during the year, while the rec
ord Of 1911 was 410.

New York, Nov. 2.--Friends of the
family of District Attorney Charles
8. Whitman learned that a price Of
$1,000 has been put upon the head OF
the prosecutor who dared to expose
the New York police department and
bring to justice Lieutenant Becker
and the underworld characters who
killed Herman Rosentnal.
Four assassins have been employed
In distant city, not designated for
obvious reasons, to come here and
kill Whitman. So complete are the
arrangements that the train upon
which the hired slayers are scheduled
to arrive is known.
II is also known that a hiding place
In Christie street house in the heart
OF the East Side has been obtained as
temporary shelter for gunner who
are to undertake the plct.
The plan of murder seemingly has
been arranged with a thoroughness
| which taxes the credulity of the most
lurfd imagination. But the friends of
District Attorney Whitman. who have
undertaken to surround him with ev-
cry precaution against bodily harm,
point out that such murder plot is
not half so unbelievable as the con-
spiracy against law and order which
| the conviction of Becker proved true.
News of the plot came out through
| friends of Mr. Whitman, who have
taken steps to Illustrate it. The de-
tails were contained in a letter re-
! ceived at the Whitman home.
The writer was an old criminal, who
signed the name by which he is
known in the underworld from New
York to San Francisco.
When asked about the plot Mr.
Whitman said:
ooh, yes; | have received hundreds
OF letters threatening my life since
this investigation was started and
suppose everybody else connected
with the investigation has had the
same experience"

had talked to the actress only a few
minutes. Worthen was told to say
nothing, but to listen to the story she
was telling Worthen's presence

and she soon broke down and con-
fessed.
