The London Daily Chronicle says
British soldiers, during the footing in

clares that this act shamss the British
army.

OFFICIAL REPORT.
Information given out for the press
in official quarters today is as fol-
lows:
Military experts of the Berlin news
papers consider that yesterdays de-
Yelopments around Verdun were of the
greatest Importance, and say there is
promise Of their resumption with re-
newed strength. In the fighting south
of Verdun the French are strainfng
every effort to crush and drive out the
army which at the end OF September
penetrated as far as ST. Mihiel and
which for month past has been fight
ing hard to hold the ground gained.
The Germans have now captured the
main position, and their forces are OPP
Grating rom the direction of foul.
The French attack from Pcnt-a- Nous
son also was without results. Atten
ton can now again be directed to the
original object of this campaign.
THE opening of naval hostilities by
Turkey promises to divert the atten-
ton of the Russian forces which have
been campaigning in Poland, where
they were able to concentrate superior
forces against the armies of Germany
and Austria. Nothing new has been
reported from Poland.
Austria announces officially that the
Russian advance against the Austrian
positions in the regions of Turka has
been repulsed. (Turka is in Galacia,
% miles southwest Of Sambor.)
Special dispatches to newspapers
from the Seryian front report that
an entire Servian regiment under Col.
Tvanoff walked into a trap at Visae-

Viously that the Servians still occu-

NO DECLARATION OF
WAR FROM TURKEY
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

London, Oct. 31.-The correspondent
OF the Morning Post in Petrograd
sends his paper the following:
THE statement published here that
the guns of the cruiser Goeben we're
turned on the sultan's palace in order
to make him yield to the German de-
mand is probably untrue"
A dispatch to the Central News from
Petrograd says that up to late hour
Friday no declaration of war had been
received from Turkey. Neither the
Russian ambassador nor the Turkish
ambassador has left his post, the dis
patch says, and it continues:
Transformation prevails In Constan-
tinople and the Turkish ministry Is
sitting continuously. The secretary ct
the Turkish embassy in Petrogrdd
says that he hopes the misunder-
standing will soon be cleared" The
head of the Moslems in Russia con-
dennis the folly of Turkey and lie
clares that his followers are loyal to
the Russian emperor"

THIEF'S NEW GAME
Man Used Keys of Rooms He
Had Once Occupied.

rather unusual and easy method OF
robbing hotel guests was disclosed last
night. when Harry Goodman was arrested
at Sixth avenue and S7th street, char sed
with grand larceny.
MIR. and Mrs. William Noll, Of Quincy,
ILL.,, upon returning TO their room in the
Hotel Martinique last Monday afternoon
discovered the loss OF a velvet coat, furs
and toilet articles. A purse and some
iewelry on the dresser had not been
touched.
George Waddy. hotel detective, and Po-
lice Detective John Boyle could get no
line on the thief until last night. when
they saw Goodman leaving a pawnshop.
Waddy then recognized Goodman as
man who had occupied the room now used
by the Nolls on January 1s. He had regis
tered from Chicago.
Goodman was taken TO the West goth
street station. For some time he denied
the robbery, but ne weakened under ques-
tioning, and said he had entered the room
by means Of the key he had retained when
he gave up the room. While he was MAX
ing this confession L. c. York, OF Kansas
City, another guest OF the Martinique,
went to the station house and reported he
had been robbed. Goodman admitted this,
too.
The property of Noll and York was
found later in a room formerly occupied
by Goodman at the Hotel McAlpin.

NO COMMENT BY SPEYERS
Bonds Financed, 1t Is Said,
Only as a Last Resort.

james Speyer, Of Speyer g. Co, refused
yesterday to comment on that phase Of
the Interstate Commerce Commissions
report referring to the sale Of 100000 OF
Frisco bonds to French bankers. that
the sale of securities at a time
when every appearance indicated the in
solvency Of the issuing company, invites
the condemnation of all who assisted or
participated In such sale
In behalf OF the bankers. however, il
was stated that they were fully aware
Of the impoverished condition OF the prop
erty. and that they financed the bonds
only as a last resort, TO prevent a receiv-
ership. The railroad company. it was
said. sold the bonds at net price Of rs
and Speyer & Co.. in reselling the bonds
to the French bankers, charged a COM
mission OF three-fourths Of 1 per cent
The French bankers. in their official cir
cular offered these bonds at So. or at an
apparent profit Of 81 points.
The apparent profit, however. was not
all real, because Of the expense incident
to issuing new securities in the French
market There is not only a high gov
eminent tax to be paid, but also fees Tor
official listing on the Bourse, which to-
gether totalled between and per cent,
so that the actual profit 10 the French
bankers. after allowing for expenses, etc,
could not have been much in excess of 4
per cent Banking commissions abroad
are invariably larger than in this coun-
try. where bankers must content them
selves ordinarily with per cent or less.
Maurice Leon. a lawyer. frequently con-
suited in important financial transactions
between this country and France. after
reading a summary Of the commission
report on the Frisco said
'This report should prove q wholesome
warning to the French public TO approach
warily the offers of American securities
placed before II, no matter how promi-
nent and respectable the bankers are who
negotiate the issues, and I do not mean
only the American bankers, but fully as
much the French. Among the banking
institutions in France which have been
concerned with issues Of American &C.
curities on the Paris market there are
very few willing to accept even moral
responsibility for what they offer their
own public. Their custom is to say that
they act entirely on the faith of their
relations with some prominent American
banking house which has brought the
business to them. They profess inability
to pass Independent judgment on the pc
cuniary and legal value of the security,
and say they take the word of the Amer
lean firm on all such matters. This is
not right; American securities ought 70
be offered TO the French public only
through concerns we'll informed on their
value and prospects,

Auburn Uplift Influence
Makes Convict Shrink
from Black Hand Vow.
WOULD NOT IMPERlL
FREEDOM OF OTHERS
Thomas Mott Osborne Declares
Good Conduct League Is Rails
ing Moral Standard.

Syracuse. ~ Y, Jan. pa Black Hand
murder has been prevented by tho good
conduct league I'm Auburn Prison, ac-
cording TO q statement OF Thomas Mott
Osborne. chairman OF the State Commits
sion on Prison Reform.
The case Is that OF an italian who had
been marked by the Ma6a with scar
which. according 10 It's laws. could only
lie wiped out by blood. The one who was
responsible for the designation was also
confined in the prison. The marked man,
who is a barber had been bidins his time
10 get even with his enemy. but the other
day he told Mr.. Osborne that he would
not put the partial freedom Of the four
teen hundred men IN jeopardy by any
rash act. and that so far as he was con
cerned he would not make any attempt
10 rctaliate.
Tho good conduct league, which is or
ganizcd among the convicts to-day. Is
not something that outsiders have
brought in. but something that they
themselves asked for and Instituted" Mr..
Osborne sayg ut came from themselves,
and having asked for It, they feel a re-
sponslblity for II.
"One wrong thing about the prison sys-
tenn Is that II tends to deprive a man of
his sacred individuality You cannot re-
form men in a mass, and yet this Is the
way we have been going at IT in the past.
We have attempted TO reduce all TO
common level in all things They are
dressed alike. fed alike. and so on down
the line. and the worst OF It all Is We
have placed that level at that OF the
lowest Of them.
Another wrong thing is that we do
not allow them 10 be natural. Every e.
fort to be natural is punished as If that
was sin. Five. six, seven and even
more days in the damnable punishment
cells FOR Whispering Did it never occur
10 you that II IL is possible TO communi-
cateJevil tendencies. which it is acknowl-
edged is the result of the present sys-
tenn, IL also is possible TO communicate
good ones?
"One OF the most noticeable things
about the whole system is the great
number OF conundrums that have no an
swer Why the State OF New York can
not furnish tooth brush, a second towel
or a change OF underwear are questions
that core under this head
The only confirmed criminal is the
one that the state makes" Mr.. Osborne
continued I'VE start them in our re-
form school then send them to the re
formatory. and finish them up in prison.
We must change the system, and this is
not such a difficult thing TO do. Instead
of saying, You are hopeless criminal
we must lift them up. and that can only
be done by letting them lift themselves.
| have always thought that this plan
would work out, and II is working out
right along"
