UNEAS|NESS IN GREECE
OVER TURKEYS ACTION
Porte Is Charged With Moving
Troops Disguised as Irregu-
IarS-AIbanianS Heroes.

LONDON, October 3.-The fear of war
with Turkey is growing in Athens, but
the porte is attempting to allay the feel
ing by announcing her determination to
hold the islands in the Aegean subject to
the decision of the powers. 1t is claimed,
however. that Turkey is moving troops
disguised as irreguIars toward Kavala
and Saloniki. Turkeys irregulars are
also reported to be in possession of
Dedeagatch, which has been evacuated
by Greece.
Another source of uneasiness for Greece
arises from the warmth of the congratu-
latory messages which have passed be-
tween Sofia and Constantinople. dis
patch from Belgrade describes the fight
ing which attended the recapture Of
Dibra as sanguinary beyond anything
which has heretofore occurred in the
Balkans. The Albanians defended the
place from house to house while walls
toppled about them in the streets. They
fought with any weapon that came to
hand Even the Serbs admit that the
Albanians fought like heroes and left
Dibra a mass of smoking ruins.
The Serbs are advancing and decisive
battle is expected near Prisrend. Anarchy
prevails in Albania, where the provisional
government now dsavows all connection
with the uprising against Servia.

SPECIAL TAX BILL
Named by President Thomp-
son of Alabama State
Land Congress

At the Mobile meeting of the Alabama
State Land congress last fall number
of measures looking to legislative action
were passed upon by that body, but mas
much as no meeting of the legislature
has been held, these measures have not
as yet come before the public.
To give force and vitality to public
sentiment in it's behalf, before 1t is alb
sorbed by others. Col. n. f. Thompson,
president of the land congress, yester-
day announced the appointment of a
special committee to draft suitable bill
for presentation TO the legislature, grant
ing to the various counties and communi-
ties of the state the right to levy tax on
themselves for school and road purposes.
This resolution was introduced at the
Mobile congress by Mr.. E. @. Norton OF
Daphne, and was unanimously adopted
The following prominent citizens of Mo-
bile have been named as the personnel
Of the committee, all of whom have
signified willingness to serve:
M. ]. McDermott, Rev. d. A. Flank e.
G. Rickarby, Aubry Boyle, George j. Sui
livan, Hyman Gabriel DIR. d. j. Spots
wood, E. c. Dyas, and e. @. Norton of
Daphne, chairman. Chairman Norton In
q letter received yesterday, stated that
Governor O'Neal, State Superintendent or
Education Willingham, and the entire
corps of public school teachers of the
state, as shown by a vote at the recent
meeting of teachers, together with many
others OF the leading citizens of Alabama
were heartily in favor of this law, and
that 1t was greatly to the credit of the
land congress to have fathered such a
movement.
1t is announced by the officials of the
land congress that at the approaching
meeting in November, plans will be form
ulated and presented in the matter Of i'm
migration, SO that proper effort can be
made to secure some of those desirable
classes who are going from the north
west into Canada.
Another important matter which the
land congress- is pledged to support, and
which 1t has actively favored. is the Sc
curing of cheaper money and longer time
credits for the farmers of Alabama. The
report of Mr.. +. w. Monnish, delegate
from Alabama. appointed by Governor
O'Neal, and special delegate from the
land congress, on the American commits
sion to study rural credits in European
countries, which commission has just re-
| turned from several months in foreign
countries, will be one of the most interest
Ing features of the approaching meeting
of the congress to be held in Birmingham
in November. Plans will be adopted af-
ter hearing the report of Mr.. Monnish,
looking towards putting his suggestions
into active effect in Alabama.

COLONEL F. S. CODY,
FAMOUS AMERICAN
AVIATOR, IS KILLED
AerOplane Crashes to the
Ground and Pilot and
Passenger Meet Death.
Familiar Character

London, August 7.--Col F. S. Cody, the
famous Anglo-American aviator, was
killed in an aeroplane accident at Alder
shot today.
Colonel Cody was trying out a new aero
plane when he met death. In the ma
chine with him was passenger named
Evans who was also killed. They were
flying in the open country in the Alder
shot district and had reached the gov
eminent house when their aeroplane be-
gan travelling poorly, Finally with
crash it fell to the ground.
Several officials hurried to the place
and found the aviator and his passenger
underneath the machine. Cody was the
most interesting figure in aviation in the
British Isles. He was a real soldier OF
fortune with varied career behind him.
Had Been Cowboy
He was well known to the public in
England and very popular. lie wore a
sombrero. a long moustache an imperial
and long hair looking strikinsly like
Buffalo Bill (col William f.. Cody).
He came to Englans number of years
ago from the United States. where he
had been cowboy lie had a severe
struggle to obtain a start in England.
After living precariously for a while he
attracted the attention of experts In the
British war office on account of his dis
play OF natural talent of construction in
itiative in particular in aerial vessels. He
was said TO be able to build anything
in the way of flying machine or bal
LOOM
His first experiments were made with
box kites, THESE he developed on the
British military training grounds at AL
dershot where $4,000 of the finest troops
in the British army always are kept in
readiness to march off at a moments no.
tice ON any expedition.
British Subject
Cody achieved such success with his
kites that the British war office attached
him to it's aviation staff
Cody's theatrical appearance and meth
DDS created some prejudice against him,
which. however was largely dissipated
when he foreswore American allegiance
and became a British subject. The pub
lie in England began to take him meas
ureably serious when he captured the
military prize of $4,000, open to the world
at Salisbury Plain in August. 1872 Fol-
lowing that triumph he built several
styles of machines. He was constantly
experimenting with improvements. All OF
his aeroplanes were heavy biplanes, which
his rivals considered crude in their con-
struction but he nevertheless made suc-
cessful flights with some of these.
Cody leaves son and widow.
