breaches Of the law IN connection with
the recent violent incidents between ne
military and civilians Of zabsrn. the

sworn testimony Of ths civilian Wit.
nessesl
Col. Won Reuter-. commander Of the
Ninsty-ninth Infantry. was chargsd with
wrongful Imprisonment. but the court
found his acts justifiabis and sst him
ireA
Lieut.. Schad. accused Of striking .

appeal before . second court-martial
against the sentence Of forty-three days
Imprisonment Imposed on him Dec. 10.
on . charge OF sabrinE . lame shoe
maker AMI was given his liberty.
The Justification Of Col. Won Reuters
acts was based by the courts on . do
cree issued by the King Of Prussia In
1890. which gavo the right to tho mill
tary to intervene without waiting for Y
reauest from tho civil authorities In
case tho latter were powerless TO sup.
press disorders. This decree was In.
serted In the most recently issued army

AMERICANS IN
FOREIGN LANDS
Some are in Turkey and Unable to Get
Away for Various
Reasons.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.1
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1O.-Concern
over the possibility of the getting OF
several hundred Americans out OF
Galicia was expressed by officials to-
day. American consuls in Austria are
doing everything possible, but SO far
they have been unsuccessful.
The state department learns that
these Americans are in urgent need
of funds. Many are wives OF Aus.
TRANS, now in the United States. The
state department is still concerned
about getting Americans out Of Tur-
key. although little fear is expressed
for their safety. 1t was pointed out
today that inasmuch as Turkey has
asked the United States to look after
it's diplomatic interests in England
and Russia, she must take special
pains to protect Americans to show
her appreciation of American courtesy.
The number OF Americans In Turkey
is small, but because many of the
ports are mined, ships cannot get in
to take them away. Attempts are
being made to send them funds from
the United States cruiser North Caro-
lima. It was stated at the department
today that all Americans, including
the missionaries. have been asked to
leave Turkey, by the American con-
suls. This step was also taken in
Germany, France, Russia and Austria.

DUBUQUE WILL
KEEP RUNNING
streckfus Boat May Run Until Dc.
cember-keokuk Closes Profit
able Season.

Quincy Herald: Captain A. H. Pen
meyer, local agent of the Streckfus
and Blair packet lines, said this morn
ing he had received letter from the
Streckfus company. saying the Du-
buque will continue in the st. Louis
Quincy trade through November and
perhaps until some time in Decem-
Der. The stage OF the water and the
condition Of the weather will deter
mine for the Streckfus people when
to send the boat to the bank. There
is, he says, ample business to justify
running the boat just as long as con
ditions are favorable to navigation.
The Dubuque win continue to make
one trip each week, leaving st. Louis
at o'clock every Wednesday after
noon. This is the last week for the
Blair boats.
The Keokuk left this afternoon for
Burlington, and it will be down again
on Wednesday and Friday. Leaving
at o'clock Friday afternoon. the
boat will make the run to Burlington
as usual and then go to Davenport
for the winter. The Black Hawk in
the rlington-Davenport trade will
retire at the same time. This has
been big season for the Blair boats
all Of them having exceeded last
years business in both freight and
traffic. For the Keokuk, it probably
has been the best season since that
boat was installed in the upper Mis-
sissippi short trade.

STAFF Correspondent
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. TO-
The women workers OF the nation,
skilled and unskilled, are being union
lied. This was revealed strikingly at
today's session OF the annual conven-
ton Of the American Federation OF
Labor. IN the mass Of statistics which
covered the years operations OF the;
great labor Organization was q signf'
fcant paragraph. It showed that dur
ing the last year ], 467 $50 members OF
organized labor contributed each one
cent for organization of the women.
And with this money defraying ex-
penses, eighteen organizers are in the
field. They are bringing into union
labor's ranks, school teachers, textile
workers, furriers, stenographers, muff
workers, candy makers, nurses, train
ed and domestic, and their assistants.
Another one-cent assessment which
brought splendid fruit was that to

union hours shall prevail only for the
session itself and that committees
shall work overtime. Sessions of tho
convention proper will be held from
$50 until $50. while the committees
will meet before and after the regu-
lar meetings.
Because none of the committees
were ready with any business, only a
short session was held 1t was fea-
trred by addresses by representatives
Of the American Society for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis. Pres
ident Gompers issued the following
message to the workers of the United
States: Holding its oath annual con-
vention in Philadelphia, the city in
which the Declaration Of Independence
was given to the world, the American
Federation of Labor sends message
OF fraternity and good will to the
working men OF America. The doors
of our union are thrown wide open,
inviting ali wage earners to enter to
join with us IN an effort to protect
and promote the rights, interests and
general welfare not only of workers
themselves, but of all our people To
and successfully stride
for better life for all, enables triumph
in the cause Of humanity.
