COULDN'T NAME
HIS CUSTOMERS
PERCY BARNES GOES ON STREETS
AS PRESSING CLUB STORY
MADE NO IMPRESSION.

Percy Barnes, a negro who makes
headquarters at Anna Bell Williams
house, q place many times raided for
contraband liquor, was before the city
court this morning charged with va
grancy 1t was the testimony of three
policemen that the accused is never
known to do any work and it was
shown that liquor in large quantities
having Barnes name on it has been
confiscated, and that he was recently
found carrying valise filled with pack
ages of liquor. Barnes was defended
by ]. E. Davis, who sought to show
that the man was engaged in the
pressing club business. The defend
ant claimed to have partner in that
business and that he and his partner
regularly made from $40 to SIS a week
each by pressing clothes, but his
memory slipped when he was called on
to name some of his pressing club
customers.
The mayor decided that Percy is a
vagrant, regardless of the liberal in
come he claims from the business
named and gave him a sentence of
20 days on the streets.

LIFE LOSS ATTRIBUTED TO FACT
GIRLS THOUGHT ALARM WAS
FOR FIRE DRILL.
by Associated PreSs.)

Binghampton, N. Y, July 23.-The
death list from the Binghampton Cloth
ing Co. fire is now estimated at fifty,
although not nearly that many bodies
have been recovered from the smoul-
dering ruins. 1t is believed there
were 12O, mostly girls, in the building
when the fire started.
Fire officials today declared the
laws governing fire protection had
been carefully fulfilled by the company
and attributed the great life loss
largely to the fact that the girls be-
lieved the alarm was for a fire drill,
which they disliked because it forced
them to appear on the street in their
working clothes.
Eighty per cent of the employees
were Americans.

! Washington, July 23.-Martin NJ.
Mulhall, professed lobbyist for the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers,
retraced the most serious charge he
has made before the Senate investi-
eating committee.
He swore Monday that former Rep
resentative James E. Watson of Indi-
ana had been employed by private in
terests in 1909, while he was still a
member Of the House, to work for a
tariff commission bill He testified
yesterday that what he had sworn to
yesterday was wrong; that Watson
was not a member of the House at the
time.
Reports that Watson, who is in
Washington, was about to ask District
of Columbia grand jury to indict Mul
hall for criminal libel were heard about
the investigating room. Mulhall vol
unteered his retraction after the noon
recess. He said he realized his mis-
take when he saw the date of a tariff
convention to be held in indianapolis
in February, 1909.
The committee did not question Mul
hall about the discrepancy in his sworr
testimony. Watson is under subpoena
and will take the stand later.

EUROPE ANGf RED
BY ACTION OF
TURKEY
DELICATE SITUATION ARISES
FROM TURKS REoccUPATIoN
OF ADRIANoPLE.
GENERAL WAR IS THREATENED
Only Utmost Diplomatic Tact Can
Avert confiagration-Russia Ready
To Intervene and Compel the Porte
To Respect the Treaty of London.

London, July 23.-The European con-
cert is faced by most delicate and diff
ficult situation, requiring the exercise
of the utmost diplomatic tact II Europe
is not to be plunged into a general war
by the Turkinsh reoccupation OF Adri-
anople and Kirk Killesseh.
Bulgaria, helpless, sees the fruits of
her dearly won victories snatched
from her hand, and while negotiations
for an armistice are proceeding in a
leisurely manner at Nish, the Greeks
and Servians continue to rush their
advantage.
The official announcement made at
'Constantinople that the Turkish troops
had reoccupied Adrianople created the
worst possible impression in diplomatic
circles, and the Powers Immediately
began to exchange views to find the
best means of checkmating Turkeys
action, which is looked upon as a clear
cut defiance of all Europe
The next few hours are likely to de-
eide whether forces hitherto unengag-
ed shall enter the Balkan cockpit Rus
sia is understood to be ready to accept
the mandate of Europe to compel the
Porte to respect the treaty of London,
and the British Cabinet today will con-
slider whether this government shall
consent to active intervention by Rus
sia.
Premier Asquith's speech at Bir-
mingham Monday evening was intend
ed to warn Turkey against such a de-
velopment, which would involve Rus
sian occupation of both sides of the
Bosphorus and the gripping Of Con-
stantinople both in the front and the
rear.
In their advance the Servians have
occupied Belogradchyk, northwest of
Sofia, and desultory fighting continues
all along the Servian front The
Greeks, advancing northward from Ne
vrokop, are meeting with stubborn re-
sistance. The Bulgars, with heavy ar
tillery, are fighting desperate rear
guard actions. Both sides are report
ed to be losing heavily. The Greeks
claim to have captured strong Bull
garian positions on the heights stretch
ing to the north of Petchova.
In Sofia it is believed the Greeks in
tend to invade Southern Bulgaria and
occupy Philippopolis.
The Bulgarians exploded the anu
milton magazines and blew up some of
the government buildings before evac.
uating Adrianople. No serious fight!
ing has occurred either at Adrianople
or Kirk Killesseh.

Victims Of Prison Fire
Buried at Oakley Farm

Jackson, Miss. July 23.-The bodies
of the thirty-five negro convicts who
were burned to death in one of the
wooden cages at the Oakley state farm
Monday night were inferred in the
prison graveyard this morning.
No applications were made to Serge
ant Byrd for the shipment of bodies
to relatives. In fact, it would have
been impossible to comply with such
requests, had any been received, all
the bodies being burned and charred
beyond recognition.
The supply of rude pine coffins
used for the interment of dead convicts
at the Oakley hospital was not suf-
ficient, and a shipment of caskets was
sent from Jackson on the Tuesday
afternoon train.
Several of the convicts who perish.
ed had only a few days to serve. Sen
ences of at least a dozen of the men
would have expired within the next
twelve months. All were able-bodied
negroes, none of them having been
sent to Oakley 70 rhospital treatment
The disaster leaves Sergeant Byrd
without an adequate working force
for his cotton crop at critical period
of the year. A small squad will be sent
from Parchman farm tomorrow.
