on Gallipoli Peninsuia-Turks Admit
Loss Of Two Thousand in Battle
Lasting Two Days.

London, Feb. 6.--News from the seat
fighting in Gallipoli and at the Tcha-
talja lines have been received, but no
details enabling one to judge of the
character of the operations.
The fact that the Bulgarians appear
to be moving their positions westward
along the Tchatalia lines seems to
show that they realize there Is a pos
sibility of an attempt to outflank
them, but, so far. there is no cunfir-
nation of the rumors that the Turks
are moving troops by sea to the
neighborhood of Rodosto and Midia.
The reports indicate that the Turks
have met a reverse in the Gallipoi
peninsula, but no ward has been re-
ceived as to whether the main forces
have been engaged, and It Is assumed
that the Turkish lines at Bulair and
across the neck of the peninsula are
well defended by modern works.

Fighting at this point should bring
the rival fleets into an engagement,
but no naval movement has been re-

on Tuesday. The Bulgarans advanced
from kadikeui towards KAYAK, which
the Turks occupied. The fight lasted
until evening, when the Turks retired

CORPSE OF REPsoLD, "THE PER-
FuMED BURGLAR" FOUND
NEAR SAN QUENTIN.
IS FULLY IDENTIFIED
Convict Who Made Dashing Escape
From California Prison Was Of Good
Family, but Went Wrong EarIy-At-
tianed Notoriety in Crimes by His
Promiscuous Use of Perfumes.

San Quentin, Cal, Feb. 6.-Hidden
In the slime of the Greenbrae marshes,
two miles from San Quentin peniten-
tiary, a pair Of gunners, nosing
throngh the tules in a punt, today
uncovered the body of Herbert Rep
sold, the "perfumed burglar" who es-
capped from the prison on the night of
January 10, when the state board of
prison directors was considering his
case in executive session.
Warden Hoyle does not believe that
Repsold committed suicide and this
belief is shared by the coroner. The
warden said tonight he thought that
the fleeing convict, cropping in the
dark through the marshy point skirt
ing the bay west of the prison, be-
came mired. He was unable to ex-
tricate himself from the mud and died
there of exposure.
The face was marred but there was
no doubt of the Identification. Rep
sold dashed into the night on the spur
of the moment without hat or coat
although there was snow on the
fields and the wind was piercing cold.
The body had no coat or hat, and the
garb. On the breast were the flow
er the butterfly and the nude female
figure that the tattooer's needle had
worked into the flesh.
Guessing the truth, the gunners
brought the body at once to San
Quentin.
Repsold was serving Is years for
burglary. His work was recognize
able for its dash and precision and
by the odor of perfume he left behind
him. Even his burglar tools We're
found fragrant after he had been
caught. In the prison desk where he
worked We're found Walls of perfume,
bought at the prison barber shop.
Of Good Family.
Born of good family, Repsold went
wrong early. He was only 10 years
old when committed. When he be-
came of age he inherited $4,000 as
his share of the estate of his father,
a prosperous wine merchant.
In prison Repsold's intelligence
brought him the privileges of a trusty
Thereby hangs the tale of his escape
AS a trusty, Repsold was put to
work on the prison books. He struck

(Staff Correspondence

Helena, Feb. 6.--Governor Stewart

laws viii affect the people Of prac-
tiCally every section of the state, ana
their enforcement will 90 far toward

the source of widespread complaint.
One of the bills refers to the selling
of commodities and the other to the
buying.
The passage of the bills was fought
by a strong lobby representing some
Of the larger lumber companies, COM
mission houses, etc. Only the untiring
zeal and skill OF the Teton county
senator got them through and on the
statute books unamondcd. Senator
Larson is being generally congratu-
lated.
An incident in connection with the
very recent history of these two bills
would seem to bear out this fore
cast. Governor Stewart was waited
upon by a committee representing the
wholesale liquor dealers of the state,
and was importuned by the dologa-
tion to veto the bills. To these pleas
tho governor replied that the gentle
men interested should have taken oc-
casion to present their views In OPP
position to the bills to the committees
Of the Legislature which had them in
charge. He called attention to the
fact that the bills had been widely
discussed in the state press, and that
ample opportunity had been afforded
for all those desiring to do 50, to be

:, to the Testimony Of Her Husband
Arguments Will Be Heard Today and
Then Jury Gets Case

Aiken, S. c., Feb. 6.--F'rederick O.
Beach of New York took the stand
today and swore that he did not COM
nit an assault upon his wife. Mrs.
Beach also testified that her husband
did not assault her. Tomorrow the
jury Of Aiken county farmers, before
which Beach is being tried on a charge
of assault, is expected to decide
whether or not he did.
All the evidence in the case was in
when court adjourned tonight. Three
hours tomorrow have been allowed for
arguments.
After the defense had rested late to-
day the state offered several witnesses
in rebuttal to contradict portions of
the testimony of Mr.. and Mrs. Beach
and in this proceeding the identity of
the man behind the bookcase" was
revealed. He was Haddon Johnson, a
young newspaper man of Aiken, who
is alleged to have overheard a con-
versation in the mayors office be-
tween Beach and his wife about the
assault. Johnson was not permitted
to give an explanatory answer to the
prosecutor iuSoliDi as " "ilGAhoi
Beach had not asked his wife to lay
the offense upon the brother of a
negro servant and he declined to
answer at all.
Beach told of giving his knife to De-
tective Baughn, who had been en-
ployed by the city, in the presence of
Mayor Gyles. He declared that the
knife had two blades and that neither
was broken.
A Negro.
Mrs. Beach said She was assaulted
by "gingerbread colored" negro,
who approached her on the pretense of
having a message for a negro servant.
She declared the negro slashed her
throat and hit her on the side of the
head with stick; that she was too
much frightened to scream at first;
and that when she screamed, her hus-
band came promptly to her assistance

NOW WANT GOVERNMENT
 CONTROL OF LATERALS
Fifty Farmers Meet to Protest Against Acts of Gov ernors; Don't Like
 "Secrery" at Board Meets.

The subject of lateral control brought out a pee uliar line up among a com mittee of half a hundred interested farmers at an informal meeting in the Water Temple yesterday mornings line up, in. which those who have pro- posed assO citation care of the smaller feed ditcht,s now seemed anxious tD have the go Yernment care for the woIde of delivering the water to the quarter section corner. In talking over matte rs of moment among the water users, the farmers did not neglect that old and time tried subject of water charges It was the consensus of opinion that whereas thei farmers had liabilities as well as asset $, the government should be more easy on them in the cost of irrigating water, until the project is finally taken over by the farmers them, selves.
 The committee was called together entirely independent of the association and simply to point out and suggest matters for the consideration of the Iatter's2 board of governors.
 In the course of the discussion. sew eraI topics were outlined, topics which resolved themselves into practically the same things as have been before
 
 in connection with various burning questions. The farmers who met yes terday, about fifty in all think another conference with Secretary Lane would be a good thing, and so expressed themselves so. the governors could hear them. They want a talk between Lane. Ashurst. Hayden and Smith as to the so-caIed excessive charges for water service
 The severe criticism of the governors for their lack of the faculty of getting the public ear with their doings pro vol<ed Member C. H. Barkley to re- marks. He said that practically all the things recommended by the meet ing had at one time or another received some sort of consideration in the reg ular open. public meetings of the gov ernors. He further stated that the governors had considered the fixing of project limits and had recommended on that subject to the secretary.

WOULD SET ASIDE
 AN ASSESSMENT
Suit Begun by Owners of Worlds
 Fair Mine

Suit was filed in Santa Cruz county court yesterday for the annulment of the tax assessment made against the Worlds Fair Mine. owned and operated by MT. and Mrs. Frank Powers
 In the complaint, the owners contend, among other things. that the assess ment is arbitrary, illegal, above all un- constitutional and absolutely void. They make the assertion that the tax commission assessed the property. which is against the law. The tax com mission did not make the roll but they did recommend the assessment These were but few of the allegations pro- duced for the setting aside of the as- sessment. There were more and all were alike
 Among the others was the statement that the mine if assessed at all should have been assessed as real estate not IS personal property, whereas the law provides that all claims unpatented be assessed as personal property. This claim was not patented and was levied on as personal property.
 The tax commission will intervene Tn the suit in behalf of the state. in order that the owners of the mine will not be able to receive back the taxes which they have already paid under protest
