TURKS REPULSE
BRITISH SORTIES
At TKUT-EL-AMARA
Official Turkish Statement
Makes Definite Claim That
City Is Surrounded.

LONDON, Jan. 12.-The British
forces under General Townsend have
made several sorties from Kut-el-
Amara on the Tigris, each time be-
ing repulsed with losses. according to
the current statement by the Turkish
war office. The official communica-
ton makes the definite assertion that
this force is surrounded.
1t was announced in London yes
terday that the British relief force
coming up the Tigris was at stand
still more than twenty miles down
the river. The Turkish unofficial ad-
vices have claimed the defeat &C this
force with heavy losses. The British
declare they have the better of the
situation and that the halt Of Cen
eral Aylmer's relief column is be-
cause of weather conditions and the
necessity of removing their wounded
by river.

OUT
FOR MURPHY
AND COLGATE
Signatures Being Obtained for
Senatorial and Governor
ship Nominations.

The petitions of former Governor
Franklin Murphy and State Senator
Austen Colgate for the Republican
nominations for United States senator
and governor, respectively, are being
circulated today.
Several of the petitions were i'm evil
dence at the meeting of the Repub-
lican Voters League at Republican
county headquarters last night. Hun
dreds of signatures were obtained.
The reason for the early start with
the petitions, it is understood, is to
get as many signatures in Essex
county as possible before the petit
tions of the other candidates make
their appearance. Everyone APP
preached was asked to sign both petit
tions. In this way ii is expected that
the pledge of nearly every Republican
voter in Essex county will be secured
to support both candidates.
The activities of those who have
charge of the petitions will not be
confined to Essex county. 1t is
planned to place the petitions i'm the
hands Of the Murphy and Colgate
boomers in every county in the State.
This work will not be started, how
ever until County Counsel Alfred n.
Dalrymple gives the word. Mr.
suffering from a slight attack of the
grippe and the same malady has also
seized upon his chief lieutenant, for
mer County Register Thomas p. AL
worth, treasurer of the Republican
County Committee.
The circulation of the petition for
Senator Colgate along with the pc
tition of former Governor Murphy is
looked upon in some quarters as a
Shrewd political move on the part of
the Colgate campaign managers.
The popularity of former Governor
Murphy with the rank and file = ''e
Republicans is well-known ar
fact that the two petitions arr
tically linked together will meaa LII
hundreds of signers will he secured
for the Colgate petition who other
wise would pass it up. These petit
tions will be used to show that Sena-
tor Colgate is the choice of the rank
and file of the voters of Essex county
and that he is the choice of the Re-
publican organization for the nom
ination for governor.
The candidates. of former Governor
Franklin Murphy for United States
senator and Austen Colgate for gov
ernor were stamped with the APP
proval of the Republican Voters
League of Essex County last night.
The league met at the Republican
county headquarters, corner of Hal

J|TNEYS HAVE
HIT THEM, THE
P. S. ADMITS

A smaller than usual yearly in
crease in passengers carried is shown
by statistics given out by the Public
Service Railway Company today, vita
an admission that the jitneys had cut
into its business. In 1915 their cars
carried 4l3,472. 702 passengers, an in
crease of about 100000 over the
previous year. The yearly increase
for the several years previous aver
aged 20.000,000.
The principal falling off is attributed
to industrial depression" by the
public service officials. The advent
of the jitneys, especially in this city.
has been responsible for some of the
falling off.
TrolIeys in the Essex division car
ried 1853, ,716, 457 passengers. Twenty
two per cent. of the total and twenty
seven per cent. of the Essex total We're
transfer passengers.
The Essex division was the worst
sufferer from the jitneys. In late
August there were over 800 jitneys i'll
operation. and about week ago q
canvas revealed that despite winter
weather there were 165. running.
While some of these operate at only
certain times of the day, large per-

considering His Intention
to Resign.

Judge Frederic L. Johnson said to-
day that he would soon send in his
resigna ton as a member of the Board

first of the coming month. 1t had

lion to leave the board, but this was
denied.
Mr.. Johnson says he is resigning
because of the pressure of other du-
ties.
Mr.. johnson has served in the
school board since 1912. He was ap-
pointed by Mayor Haussling and was
named president of the body about
year ago, succeeding commissioner
charles W. Taylor.

Continued Rain and
Warm Weather Predicted

Rain probably will continue
through the night and over tomor-
row. Up to noon the rainfall of to-
day amounted to one-sixth of an
inch. Yesterday afternoon at 2
O'Clock the temperature was 50, but
from then on the mercury continued
to slip down the tube and when the
rain commenced early today the tenn
perature was just below freezing.
This caused the rain to freeze as soon
as it fell and made walking rather
bad in the early forenoon hours, but
later the temperature rose to about
% and the slush was washed away.
The indications this afternoon were
that the mercury would keep on ris-
ing and that tonight and tomorrow
will be considerably warmer than to-
day, while the wind shifts from east
to south and becomes stronger. A
six-mile wind from the east was
blowing at noon.

THIRD INSTALLMENT

Jim Borden, crook, tries to wipe out his family by killing his son and him. self, thus ending the criminal curse of the Red Circle birthmark. June Ira wis, girl reformer. tells her nurse Mary of the impulse to commit crime Mary sees the Red Circle on the back of June's right hand.
 Mary is overcome but stolidly refuses to tell June the terrible secret
 Mrs. Toole put Jim's baby down on the bed next to Mrs Travis-it was one of them narrow, no count beds and went to fussing over Mrs. Borden. And l just walked the floor with the other baby and prayed. The fight was awful! Every now and again some woman downstairs would scream and a child would cry for it's father. Above the shooting I could hear the men swearing and yelling. The women were loading the guns for 'em and helping 'em all they could-but they weren't like men,
 "The shooting lasted all morning our men were getting near the end of their bullets and their strength; and Slim Bob,' the head of the outlaws, was firing at the saloon door--that near he Was-when he heard a shot from different direction and we saw Slim Bob duck and dodge away, slink- ing alongside high wood fence and at the same time one of the three men that was carrying a big timber that they were going to use to batter in the saloon door, dropped dead in his tracks!
 Away off in the road at the edge of the town we saw galloping horses. and then men scrambling off horses backs and running toward us They was the men back from the mines! They fired as they ran and the out laws turned tail trying to escape all except a few-'Slim Bob was one of 'em. l saw MT. Travis make for him and then I made up my mind I'd go downstairs and call MT. Travis to come straight up to his poor, uncon- scious wife.
 "On the table was Mrs. Travis open grip. just as I'd left it when the baby was born. It had lot of soft, white, woolly things in it. So l laid the baby on them when I ran downstairs-tt was safer than the bed It was safer than the bed-I thought it was safer than the bed" she repeated incoher- ently.
 Mary - Mary!' June shook her

MT. Travis was dead. When Mrs. Travis came to, what could I tell her A baby was there. No one but me knew it wasn't hers It would "a killed her to tell her. I never told. She didn't know-she doesn't know-no one knows
 And IT am" June gasped out the words.
 Mary looked steadily into her terrified eyes and gripped her hands firmly.
 ''On the back of Jim Borden,s right hand" she said heavily, there was d queer Red Circle-they called him Cir cle' Jim out there. Just, as later, they
 No! No! l don't believe it-Tm not Pm not" June crumpled into a sob- ping heap at Mary's feet
 Very gently the old woman lifted her and held her close:
 You are Jim Bordens daughteri' she declared with a solemnity that brooked no dispute. Marked with the crime curse. But we must guard the secret. She must never know"
 She motioned vaguely toward the house. With great fear and hesitation June raised her eyes. They fell on the stately home, the beautiful goods-all that she had felt, up to now, was her legitimate portion in life. An imposterl Low born! Stigmatized for life with the Red Circle of crime. It was too horrible-too un- real! It numbed her very soul.
 She elung to the arm of the older woman with a helplessness and despair that was pitiful, and allowed herself to be led up the path toward the house.
