The Italian government will present an altimatum to Turkey this week demanding the right to occupy Tripoli without resorting to force of arms. This intelligence came from Rome In private dispatches received here today. The Italian gov
ernment nas DianKeteu an press dispatches with a stringent censorship. War-like preparations on the part ! of both Italy and Turkey went forward today with unabated vigor. Two Italian battleships are reported to have arrived off the coast of Tripoli, while the vanguard of Turkey's army which will resist Italian intervention in Tripoli left Constantinople today in an armed transport. Italy Is still hplding a squadron of 'warships under steam off Palarmo. Each vessel is manned by the maxim quota and coaled and provisioned for a long cruise. The Turkish ambassador here today " received a circular note from the Home government to request the good offices of France. Turkey Steals March. ; ln this city.

Italy has assumed the aggressive po- ' 4ritloa so far in the break with Turkey ' ,find it was reported that the Italian government stands ready to declare 1 ; "war formally if Turkey puts into action her threat to expel the 50,000 i Italian residents of Tripoli and boyicott Italian made good throughout Turkish dominions. Frightened by the menacing attitude of the Turkish military authorities hundreds of Italian residents of 'Tripoli are fleeing the country. Despite the attitude of Italian socialists who threatened a revolt against rthe government if war is declared every other political party throughout ,the southern peninsula is strongly in 1 favor of open hostilities as a means to the acquisition ' of Italian-African i territory. Diplomatic circles believe that war between Italy and Turkey would not 'erlously affect continental Europe. The most keenly Interested continental power is Germany. France, England, Russia and Austro-Hungary have no vital Interests at stake. International friendship is the only, tie blndlng Germany with both countries. The balance of Europe could afford to tand by as spectators, the chief interest of these countries hinging upon the effect which war might have on Rational securities.

Taft expressed himself as greatly pleased with his reception yesterday in his plunge into insurgent Kansas. He was elated over the cordiality of the crowds, especially In the strongly insurgent counties through which he passed. He insists that he is not making this trip for political purposes and is not trying to sound out sentiment for 1912. That is given as a reason why he did not bother yesterday to discuss his tariff vetoes in the insurgent territory while he talked of thera to the standpatters. Mr. Taft says ho believes Kansas will stand with him alter he has had the opportunity of arguing the kind of tariff legislation he wants after tbe tariff board has made its report. PROF.

Chicago offices of the Illinois Central were not affected by the strkeot 1,000 clerks in the south today and , none of the men here are expected to walk out. President Markham declared that the southern strike was uaimportant and just .an aftermath of ,the Federated Shop employes controversy. The strike is the result of the refusal of the railroad to recognize the union and arrange a system contract. I The organization includes the Illinois Central and Yazoo Valley lines between this city and Princeton, Ky., and New Orleans. it was intimated by the clerks here today that the strike would be far reaching before it was settled. The clerks believe the new federation- of shopmen will join the walkout. PLAN DISCUSSION UPON SOCIALISM Rev.

A PLOT SUSPECTED III HAVAL TRAGEDY AT TOULON TODAY Another Battleship Catches Afire Monday Night, but Blaze Put Out Before Damage Was Inflicted.
FORTY MORE BODIES ARE FOUND TUESDAY Eight Survivors, Imprisoned in the Wreckage and Half Crazed, Rescued Toulon Is Mourning Heroes. (National News Association) TOULON, Sept. 26. Forty additional dead bodies were recovered from the wrecked battleship Liberte today. This brought the official list of dead up to 435, but this probably will be further revised. Eight wounded sailors, imprisoned by wreckage in a portion of the battleship not submerged, were rescued alive today, almost insensible from exposure and partly crazed by their experience. One living man imprisoned in submerged turrent was located by the salvage corps, who communicated with him, ascertaining he was surrounded by fifteen corpses. Frantic efforts are In progress to rescue him. A mysterious fire last night on the battleship Lapatrie, bearing a striking similarity to that on the Liberte, but which was extinguished in time to save the Lapatrie from the same fate as her sister warship, has created a strong suspicion that both fires were the result of a plot. Rushed to Drydock. Shortly before midnight fire was discovered on the Lapatrie. The warship was rushed into drydock and deluged with torrents of water until the flames were finally conquered. An investiga tion was at once started to determine the origin of the flames. So closely did it resemble the fire on the ill-fated Liberte that the terrible suspicion rapidly gained ground throughout Toulon. Gv-"ivmk- 3iTe4ftv- started - ut examination of the shattered hull of the sunfien Liberte to determine whether or not she can be raised and reconstructed or whether she must be considered a total loss. Naval experts believe that the Liberte was too badly shattered to be re-construcled again into an engine of war. The work of removing tons of debris from the bodies of the dead, caught beneath the wreckage when the warship sank, was rushed at top speed today. It was a gruesome, sickening task as many of the bodies had been terribly torn by flying missies of steel. Human legs and arms were found in the broken superstructure which still stands above the surface of the water, marking the resting place of the seamen who gave up their ilves as martyrs of discipline. Public buildings in Toulon have been turned into temporary morgues and the bodies are being laid out and identified. Pitiful scenes of grief were witnessed today as friends or relatives recognized their mangled dead. REV. CATES TO WED Bride Is Miss Mary Duncan of Greenfield. The marriage of the Rev.

Torrence, president of the Young Men's Business club urged the present members to assist in securing new members and to arouse interest in the work of the club, at the meeting last evening in the Commercial club rooms. It is believed that if new rooms are secured that more interest will be manifested in the club by young business men who are not members now. For this reason a committee is attempting to secure a suitable location and it is likely that quarters will be obtained in the Colonial building. Many business men have signified their intentions of going to Greensfork Thursday to attend the Fall Festival at that place. The Y. M. B. C. last evening appropriated funds for securing the Richmond City band to accompany local business men to Greensfork.' It was announced that the train will leave the Pennsylvania station at 11:30 o'clock and return at 6 O'clock. ' : ""'''' :'' 4v .

McDonald in the effort to secure the national meeting of the Knights of the Golden Eagle for next year in this city.

"Oh mother, I've won a Palladium racer, the Speedking Pushmobile, excitedly exclaimed little eleven year old Guy Oel, to his mother Mrs. George Oel, 27 Xorth Second street upon getting home to his supper on Monday night. His mother was most agreeably surprised, and though she knew her son would win one, she had not anticipated that the lad would so quickly grasp the opportunities at hand and in one day win a substantial toy, worth $10. Guy was the first lad to bring in twenty subscribers. Guy, who since winning his machine, has been a visitor at the Palladium office duriag all his spare time and admiring the exhibition machine, declares he had no difficulty at a!t in securing subscribers. ! He started out early in the morning and devoted his spare time to the work. His success was due to his '"sticktoitiveness." He allowed nothing else to interfer?. His machine, an eaxct duplicate of the one on exhibition here, will be received with a consignment of others in a day -or two, . - ?
WAIDELE III FAVOR OF A FREE MARKET TO REDUCE PRICES Chairman of the Council Ordinance Committee Writes that Marketmen's "Trust" Is Not Mere Myth.
SAYS SHOE PINCHES FEET OF MARKETMEN "Just as Honorable to Peddle Lima Beans at 13 Cents a Quart as to Sell Them for 20 Cents on Market." That council should finish destroying the so-called "fence about the city" which is said to be one of the reasons for the high cost of market produce, by pulling up the "posts." or, in other words, by making the market as near a free one as possible, it the opinion of Frank L. Waidele, councilman from the Seventh ward and chairman of the ordinance committee. Councilman Wai-. dele says that this step will be taken in due time. The subject was broached at the last session of council and although nothing will be done this year, it is likely that the market will be a free one or nearly so, in 1912. In a communication to " the Palla dium, Councilman Waidele answers the statement made by market men last Saturday. Mr. Waidele says that no one will dispute the charge that a combination is existing among the mar ketmen at the South Sixth street market house. He further, says that council should investigate the charge that the market master acts in the capacity of Informer of prices at the market "f Waidele's Statement. The communication of Councilman Waidele follows: "I.do not wish to enter Jnto a con troversy, but never-the-Iess it is amusing to note in Sunday's Palladium bow the shoe pinches the foot of the market men. . ..:. .,.- : "The Undersigned wishes to Impress upon Mr. John Lancaster the fact that the 'bunch of school boys' worked ov-. ertlrae in-the -gathering of reliable facts concerning our market conditions and did not jump before they knew exactly where they would land. "That a combination exists at the markethouse, no one will dispute and as for the statement of marketmen that council's action In admitting peddlers of farm produce to the city will eventually ruin the market I will say that it is a mistake. The step that is suggested for council to take will in due time be taken, and it will, to a marked degree, help the consumer. If the prevailing high prices exist simply on account of the exorbitant: market stall rent, I , think the best; thing to do would be to finish the; 'fence by pulling up the posts, in oth-i er words make the market; as near' free as possible, without reserved) seats for the leading marketmen. Th maxim, 'first come, first served1 should be employed. - "Mr. Zwissler's remark that thereshould be no peddling Is wrong, be- , cause that would be legislating for the classes and not for the masses. How about the hard working housewives?. After her husband has gone to work she is busy with the children, for theyr must go to school. Then the morning work must be done. How can she go tomarket to purchase her produce andt be home in time for dinner, especially after coming in at the last hour and taking what is left, or look further? 1 "I believe it Is just as honorable; an occupation to peddle lima beans at thirteen cents per quart as it is to, stand on the market and ask twenty cents per quart. "The statement concerning the mar-, ket master should be investigated by the so-called 'bunch of sheep. " Respectfully submitted, FRANK L. WAIDELE. Chairman Ordinance 'Committee. Other candidates for pushmobllea, ' including several girls and almost two hundred boys, are having much success. AH are determined to own machines. Teachers In the public school say that at recess periods the only thing talked about is the Palladium pushmobile. Occasionally they catch the pupils i whispering about the speeders In classes. But the school work is not being interfered with. In' fact those who .are going to win ma-' chines are applying themselves even closer to their school duties, for they all desire to give the teachers no trouble and thus avoid the possibility of having to stay after school and -thus loose a few minutes, most precious to them In their subscription campaigns for push mobiles. uuuci.luv auoyicicD ui iiitr t it mixtion " department of the Palladium, races win be held soon.
