MARSH HAS SECURED
AMERICAN CAPITAL
Burlington Sees Trunk Line for That
City Now That Railroad 10 In
terested In This Deal.

Burlington Gazette: r. o. Marsh,
promoter OF the Tri-State Traction
company. was in Burlington this morn
ing, accompanied by J. T. Dickinson
OF the Strauss Bascu1e Bridge COM
pany Of Chicago. The two gentlemen
were before the city council this
morning and Mr. Marsh made some
statements that, If carried out, will
mean . wonderful thing for Burling-
ton.
Since the outbreak OF the European
war Mr.. Marsh had to give UP his plan
of having a foreign company finance
his proposition and since that time
he has been working to secure the
backing OF some local capitalists or OF
some railroad company. He stated
this morning that he was satisfied In
his own mind that he would be sue
cessful and that by March i there
would be something OF positive ma
ture to unfold to the PEOPLE OF this
city.
He stated thai be would be backed
| by a big trust company of New York.
or by one OF the great railroad COM
panies, and that In either event he
would prophesy for Burlington that
/ before the passage of many years
there will be a trunk line railroad
running through this city for the
north and south. He gave as one
reason the fact that he has the only
practicable river level right OF way,
and that the building Of the system
from burlington to st. Louis would
be a comparatively inexpensive one.
Mr.. Marsh evidently had heard OF
the proposed high bridge across the
river here, and requested OF the coun-
ell that they do what lay in their pow
Ter to influence the people OF this city
TO go slow before closing deinately
/ with any company or concern for such
Ia plan. He had evidently brought
Mr.. Dickinson along for the purpose
Of suppIementing his argument.
/ Mr.. Dickinson is one of the resident
engineers OF the big company which
he represents. He made an interest
,np talk TO the council this morning,
and stated, among other things, that
with the price Of steel as it is at this
time. II would be possible to build a
bridge on about IS PER cent Of the
amount given In the estimates made
.one time ago. The estimates were
made by the same company, SO MT

PETROGRAD, Nov. 6.-The Russian
admiralty announced today that the
Turkish fleet had been driven from
tho Black Sea and had taken refuge
at its base in the Bosphorus, refusing
TO give battle to the Russian warships.
This statement was issued at the
admiralty:
THE admiralty has ascertained that
the Turkish fleet has concentrated on
Its base in the straits and refuses to
fight the Russian Black Sea squadron.
1T is plain that the Old Turk party
and the Sultanate are utterly dismay-
ed by the promptness of Russia's mill
tary campaign
Further information that has reach
ed Odessa from Constantinople makes
It appear that the German cruiser
Goeben sent a radiogram to Constan-
tinOple asserting that the Russians
had made treacherous attack upon
Turkish ships. The Turkish minis
tiers, not suspecting that they were
being entrapped into action by the
Germans on the Goeben, held an i'm
mediate council and approved the de-
iensive action which the Goeben re-
ported it had taken on the following
day.
Establish Fraud.
When the ships are returned to
Bosphorus the whole fraud Of the Goe-
ben's report was established.

county returned handsome pluralities
for two of the three Progressive legis-
lative candidates., and also q close plu-
rality for the Progressive candidate for
secretary OF state.
In the congressional contest the plu-
rality of Mr. Russell was twice as large
as the plurality received by the Pro-
gressive congressional candidate in
1912, Notwithstanding the fact that the
Republicans In gaining 1,166 votes FOR
their congressional candidate, Mr..
Lynch, almost doubled their strength
of two years ago. The Democratic
candidate for congress, Mr.. Gray, suf-
fered big slump in his vote, his loss
benefiting both the Progressive and
Republican candidates about equally.
eeveridge's Vote.
AS a final indication that Wayne
county still holds steadfast to Progress
sive principles, the vote for Beveridge
stands forth boldly, the Progressive
senatorial candidate receiving a plu-
rality of 5S1 over Shively.
Having in mind the big Republican
gain in Wayne county, as shown in
the congressional contest, local Repub-
licans are expressing establishment
over the fact that the strong Republi-
can county Of Henry made such poor
showing for Mr.. Lynch, a resident of
that county.
For Judge Jackson, a New Castle
man, Republican candidate for secre-
tary of state, Henry county gave a
plurality of 653. For Miller, G. o. P.
candidate for senator, Henry county
gave plurality of Ais. but for LYNCH
his home county gave a plurality of
only 100.
lynch's Weakness.
Local politicians, familiar with Hen
ry county conditions, are not, however,
expressing wonder over Mr.. Lynch s
small vote In his home county. They
remember the effort made in New
Castle to defeat his candidacy for the
Republican congressional nomination,
prompted by the open charges which

Late Friday evening the Grand
Vizier summoned another council and
put forward a proposal to remove the
Germans and offer compensation. He
suggested that they should maintain
automatically that the Turkish gov

ly ignored party lines in making their
selections for county offices, so the re-
suits of these contests can not be
claimed as a victory for itself.
Progressive Strength.
The only way an estimate can be OBJ
tanned as to party strength in the coun-
ty is by consulting the vote for con-
gress and the state ticket. In the
congressional and senatorial contests
it is shown that Wayne county still
pins its faith to Progressive principles
in the administration Of the national
government, and by the vote for sec
rotary of state and legislative candi-
dates it is shown that the Wayne
county voters still have no faith in the
ability of either of the old parties to
administer the affairs of the state. This
