Soldiers Arrested; Excite
ment Over Succession.

VIENNA. Jan. MARTIAL law was
proclaimed today at Avlons. the AL
bantam seaport on the Adriatic sea.
No details were given in the dispatch
reporting the procla nation, hut II is con-
sjdered probable that this action is
connected with recent reports Of a
scheme TO place Izset Pasha, until late
~ Turkish minister of war. on the throne
OF Albania.
Another view is that II was brought
about by the vendetta between the ad-
herents OF Esssd Pasha, who is virtually
dictator in central Albania, and those
OF ismael KemaI Bey. head of the pro-
vislonal autonomous government.
4 decree proclalming martial law here
was issued today owing TO the excite
ment among the Alban.ans over the ar
rest OF six Turkish officers and 600 Turk
an Austrian steamer from Constanu-
nople. Their visit was with the object
OF announcing the accession 10 the AL
han.an throne of Izzet Pashs, former
Turkish minister Of war.
The detachment of Turkish troops
was promptly, surrounded and disarmed
when IT landed. The provisional au;;

ern Fuel company's charity list en-
braced not only engineers OF various
liners sailing from this port, but included
government employees, according to EVIL
dence presented today at the trial OF the
conpany's officers, charged with having
defrauded the government OF duties on
imported coal.
Counsel for the government read from
the company's donation list the names
OF four customs officer attaches and that
OF Major Grant. former assistant to
Ma jor Young OF the United States army
transport service. w. II, Tidwell, special
agent OF the treasury department who
investigated the companys books, veri-
fed the names as among those who had
received gifts OF fuel during period eX-
tending from 1907 TO 1918. Judge Dool
ing ruled against the admission OF test-
mony tending 10 show that the Western
Fuel company had made cash donations
from time TO time TO the engineers and
officers OF Japanese steamship line.
The court held this was pertinent TO the
present trial as the company was not en-
titled to drawbacks or refunds of Gus

OFFICERS TESTIFY
IN BEHALF Of THAN|
Do Not Believe His Release
on Bail Would Menace
Public Safety.

CONCORD, n. H., Jan. THE release
on bail OF Harry K. Thsw would not
menace public safety, In the opinion eX-
pressed by two OF his custodans today at
a public hea ring before the commission
appointed by the federal court to pass on
the matter OF Thaw's mental condition
and its rela ton TO his liberation under
bonds.
Holman a. Drew, sheriff Of Coos coun-
~, and Clark u. Stevens of the local po-
lice force. who have had Thaw In charge
since September, favored his admission
TO bail,
The sheriff said Thaw was nervous and
excited when first arrested at Coleorools
after his deportation from Canada. and
also showed some excitement when he

rome, special deputy attorney general OF

current topics displayed wonderful in

officer Stevens who occupies a sleeping
room with the prisoner and accompa MES
him on his walks, described Thaw as "a
perfect gentleman He said he wished
he had Thaw's conversational ability The
principal difference between Chaw and
other men. in his opinion. was that Thaw
was more kind than the general run OF
the witnesses acquainta noes.
Stevens said that Thaw's wife had
never been mentioned in their conyersa =
lions. No anger or resentment iowa rl
any public official or other person witt,
whom his past had been connected had
ever been shown in his presence by his
charge, whose conduct had been char c.
terlzed by common sense. The witness
had never seen anything about the prs-
oner to make him feel that Thaw was q
public menace.
Before adjourning the hearing without
date. General Frank s. Streeter stated
Tor the commission that Mr.. Jerome had
notified him that he had decided not TO
appear because the scope of the commits
sion's inquiry was so limited
II seems obvious" the commissioner pr
said, that Mr.. Jerome greatly mlsappre-
hends the, courts order and the scope of
the commissions powers and duty there

able 1t TO perform Its duty OF advising
