For the prosecution, Mrs. Ellert was the
most important witness. She admitted
that she had telephoned to Scanlon the

alleged crime was committed on Deem

MOOSE BAR FUSION AS
PRENDERGAST WARNS
REPUBLICANS TO RALLY
Controller Wants No Deal
on State Ticket with
Party Wreckers.
CONDEMNS WILSON
ADMINISTRATION, TOO
More Men Out of Work Now than
for Years, He Declares in
Speech at Club.

Asserting his belief that the Republican
party was gong to win in state and ma
ton tins fall, City Controller Prender-
CAST. former Bull Mooser. in a merry
speech al the Republican Club last nish''
urged that the Republicans Of this state
nominate their own candidate for Gov
ernor and pay no heed 10 the cries Tor
amalgamation with the Progressives.
"All the Republican party needs TO do
he said. is to stand up straight and say
II Is going about its business as before
! hope that the Republican party will m
sist upon naming its own candidate 'or
Governor Men who this year say they
are going TO wreck the Republican party
have no right TO name its candidate. Inc
Republican voters should be no longer
terrorized"
Mr.. Prendergast declared that wheh
Progressive leaders talked about amalga-
nation the Republicans should ask, Wv no
asked you to amalgamate?"
When the Republican party is not
seeking help" he added ut is not the
time TO offer TO It the particular brand
that is being offered to 1t now
Mr.. Prordergast called attention TO the
new primary law. and he said he hoped
that there would be no combination on
the state ticket. not alone because II Is
in contravention to the spirit OF the prl-
mary law, but because it "saVored 100
much OF the old boss plan we thought we
were going TO get rid of.
He said the Republican party was the
party to concentrate opposition to the
Democrats this fall and he added
those who attempt TO divide it are not
patriots and are not fulfilling the highest
ideals of American citizenship"
Mr. Prendergast also swatted the ad-
ministration OF President Wilson. He de-
clared that the Democratic party had
sooner than expected shown its lncapac'y
to govern the people in satisfactory
manner. He had just returned from trip
through the West, he said, and he had
found an unmistakable trend back TO the
Republican party.
"No one will deny the highmndedhess
of President Wilson" MIR. FrendersaS'
went on. but we want more than pro-
cramnist in the White House. We need
moro than bill or law to convince the
people that they have received the kind
of legislation they need.
Mr.. Prendergast said the question Oh
existence was the most important to the
individual. Business is bad, he CON
tjnued. although President Wilson had
asserted that it was merely a psyche
logical badness.
Il see hundreds of men every day,
he declared, who tell me Of their un-
successful search for employment. Is
this psychological? Their visages speak
too much in reality"
He asserted that there were more men
seeking employment now than in 1903.
The Controller was loudly applauded.
Former Attorney General George w.
Wickersham also spoke at the meeting
which was the monthly gathering Of the
club.

Powers, Is Killed.
RENEWAL OF ATTACK

Many Casualties in Early Morning

Legations.

Durazzo. Albania, June l5.-Albanlan
government troops under the personal
leadership of Prince William to-day re-
pulsed strong attack on the Albanian
capital by Mussulman insurgents.
At the outset OF the fighting the In
surSents gained an advantageous posi-
ton. but after Colonel Thomson. the
Dutch commander Of the gendarmerle'
had been killed Prince William placed
himself at the head OF the defenders,
who succeeded in silencing the rifle and
artillery fire of the attacking force after
three hours fighting.
The casualties were numerous, as the
assault by the insurgents was fierce.
Although the fighting ceased two forces
Of insurgents remained in proximity TO
the town, and a renewal Of the attack to-
night was feared. Prince William
hastily summoned reinforcements from
Alessio TO assist in the defence.
The Albanian Mussulman insurgents
opened the attack on the city at o'clock
this morning, maintaining for hours
sharp rife fire. supported by artillery.
The assault was carried out by three
separate columns OF insurgents.
Among the first OF the defenders OF the
Albanian capital to be killed was Colonel
Thomson, who had been selected by the
powers to command the gendarmerie in
succession 10 the Swedish officers. who
previously had held the position.
Bluejackets from the international feet
lying off the Albanian coast were sent
ashore to guard the foreign legations.
To-day's attack by the insurgents came
as a complete surprise to the residents of
the capital, where official statements had
been published declaring that the Mus
sulman rebels against the rule Of Prince
William had been utterly defeated by the
government forces a few days ago. 1t
was asserted that the remnant OF the
rebel forces was surrounded by govern
ment troops at Shiak, between Durazzo
and Tirana.
Accounts vary as to the strength Of
the opposing forces in the field 1t is
generally estimated, however, that the
government has 900 trained and organ
lied men, who are said to be opposed by
about 1900 insurgents The rebels for
the most part are tribesmen without DIS
cipline, and they are scattered over
wide range of country.
Durazzo occupies peninsular position
and forms a natural fortress easily de-
Tended by few modern guns.
London, June 15.-Great Britain has
ordered a warship to proceed at once to
Durazzo to insure the safety of Prince
William and his family. The other powers
are also sending warships.
