NEGRO KILLS THREE
 THEN SHOOTS SELF
Carlisle Negro Murders Wife, Two Officers, Wounds Anoth- CT and Turns Gun on Self.

Carlisle, Sept. 13.-Two white men are dead, another
 seriously wounded and two negroes are dead as the result Of a quarrel between Pat Bow er, and his wife.
 The dead are Dr. c. L. Craw- ford, J. K. Johnson, Pat Bowers and his wife. Chester Crawford, son of Dr. Crawford, is serious l ly wounded.
 The trouble started when the negro Bowers, whose wife had left him, attempted to make her return home with him. She had gone to the home of another negro named Nich- ials, and when Bowers attempt ed to force his wife to return home, he and Nichols quarrel led andNi chols drew a gun which Bowers took from him and turned on his wife, killing her instantly. The Nicholsnegro fled. After the killing Bowers left for the home or his father three miles north of Carlisle, where he expressed his deter imitation not to be taken alive. His father remonstrated and prevailed on him to surrender, whereupon the elder Bowers left for the barn to get con- veyance to carry them to the nearest officer.
 While he was doing this Con- stable Barnett, Dr. Crawford, young Crawford and Jim John son arrived in an automobile and alighted, starting for the house. As the party >alighted the negro opened fire, using a pump gun, killing Dr. Crawford instantly and wounding his son in the arm. The negro then came out of the house and passing Dr. Crawford fired another shot into him, then turning on the younger son shot him twice more, once in the left leg and once in the abdomen. Johnson, who was attending Crawford's wounds, ran around the car and the negro shot him in the head, blowing the top of his skull off. c. c. Rice, a deputy sheriff, had arrived by this time and from a distance of 200 yards fired one shot. The negro re- turned to the house and on the arrival of Sheriff Swain the house was entered after an ex- change of shots. The negro was found in an upper room dying from a wound above the heart.
 In the room were found three pistols, a pump gun and plentiful supply of ammuni- l tion.

ITALY is NEARING
WAR WITHTURKEY
Emmanuel to Use Force, II Need Be
to Obtain Reparati0D for Wrongs
to t0untrymeR.

Rome. aug. q lvta Lugano.) AT the
meeting Of the Italian cabinet today
Foreign Minister Sonnfno presented a
long report on the Turkish situation
Showing the extreme moderation OF
the Italian government notwithstand-
ing Turkish proyocations which, he
said. have now become intolerable.
The cabinets decision was kept Sc
cret, but it is believed the ministers
agreed to use all means, even force, 10
obtain reparation for the injuries suf-
fered by Italians in Turkish terri
tory.
Paris, Aug 21-The italian ambas-
sador at tConstantinoplesa says a Rome dis
patch to the Matin has been instruct
ed to hand to the porte a note asking
for a formal categorical statement as
to the departure of Italians from the
Turkish possessions.
The note is couched in terms ad-
hitting no evasion. Without being an
ultimatum it calls ON the Turkish
government to declare yes or no wheth-

LAY OUT SCHEME
OF COAST FORTS
Three of AbIest Officers of Army In.
gagged in Program to Give Ade-
quate Deienses.

Platlsburg, E. Y, Aug. 2L-CaplaIn
Charles IL kilburne OF the general
star of the United States army said
in an address to the regiment OF
business men at the military iustruc-
ti0H camp last night that three OF the
abIesJ officers OF the army are working
out system Of proper and efficient
support for the coast forufcau0us Of
this country.
IN emphasizing the need of such
support. Captain kilburne said:
There is just one place in our
scLeme Of coast defense that would
not need the entire mobile army Of
the United States TO support it in the
event of a crisis. That is the Long Is
land approach to New York City, where
the three forCtfiCauons, Forts Mtchie.
Terry and Wright, are on islands
Captain kilburne said that unless
there was an adequate coast artillery
armament on Sandy Hook and other
strategic points In that district it
would be possible for an enemys fleet
to lie at the mouth of Ambrose chan
mel. the entrance to New York harboT,
and concentrate their FIRE on each
American vessel attempting to leave
the harbor to engage them.
The fortifcations in the Philippines
and Hawaii. Captain kilburne said,
could not be reinforced in war time
and it was very doubtful II the Panama
forttfcations could be reinforced under
present conditions.
In some Of the coast fortifcations
he said, 25 companies Of the coast ar
ti1lery are needed TO man them proper
ly, but that they now have not more
than 10 companies. Captain kiIburne
said there were no better mortars in
the world than those in American
forts
"AI that We ask of congress" said
the captain, lis that they give us
enough men to man one half Of the
guns"
Asserting that a frontal attack by a
fleet on land fortiications had never
been successful. the captain said:
"A great many of rs think that If
troops had been landed in the Dar-
daneIles at the time Of the first attack
from the sea the allies would be a lot
further along than they are now"

TOYS FROM GERMANY
MAY COME THROUGH

New York. Aug 21.--American i'm
porters Of German toys regarded the
prospect of obtaining these goods
from Germany as more hopeful today,
owing to a recent announcement from
London that q shipment OF 100000
worth Of such goods would be allowed
TO come through from Rotterdam. The
only difficulty the importers said, hal
been the order in council which re-
stricted trade between Germany and
the United States.
American buyers who have visited
the German toy manufacturers this
year say that Germany is still making
rough toys to supply the American
demand, especially since the Russians
and English have stopped buying them,
Only enough German dolls TO supply
! one years demand are kept in stock in
this country and it was said today that
unless the British government allows
new dolls TO be brought from Germany,
American girls will have TO be salts
