INSPECTION OF PUPILS Township Trustees Believe that Medical Inspection of Country School Pupils Is Needed. DIPHTHERIA SCARE IN HAGERSTOWN Trustees Have Right Under Law to Appoint an Inspector to Work Under Health Officer. Albeit no action "was taken on the matter, it was the consensus of opinion at the monthly meeting of the township trustees, held today in the county superintendent's office, that it is only a matter of a short time until it will be necessary for the county to appoint a medical inspector to examine children in the district schools. The question came up in the discussion of the epidemic of diphtheria now raging in the Hagerstown school. Three rooms in that school have been closed on account of the epidemic. Between thirty and thirty-five pupils in this school are now quarantined. Dr. Stotlemeyer; health officer at Hagerstown, declared that a medical inspector for school children was needed. Under the state laws the township trustees may employ a physician as county school medical Inspector to work under the county health officer. Teachers Inspect. At present the teachers In the various schools conduct eye and ear inspection of pupils in their respective rooms. This is done according to directions sent out by the county super- . intendent. The trustees also discussed the matter of having a head teacher and a cadet teacher in each school room in the district schools. j This plan has been put to a test In District school No. 2 at BoBton by W. S. Porterfield, trustee of Boston township, and excellent results have been obtained, according to tb - trustee and the two teachers. In t this school ' there are ! forty-five students, tone teacher assigns the lessons anV" hears the recitations. The other teacher, called the helper or ca det teacher, goes from seat to seat an 3 assists the children in their lessons. Teachers to Visit. According to Superintendent Williams, this plan, will in time, be put Into actual practice in all schools in the county. The idea was obtained from the schools in Center township, Delaware county. Mr. Williams with C. C. Abernathy, superintendent of Union county schools, visited the Boston school yesterday and both believe the plan an excellent one. The trustees reached the decision, at today's meeting, to request all teachers in th county to visit other schools in order to secure "pointers." The visiting will take place this month. ALLEN REFUSES TO COMMIT! CASE Judge Fox Says It Is Up to Prosecutor Allen to Bring Lewis to Justice. Whether "Jack" Lewis, the repertoire actor, will be tried on the affidavit charging criminal assault upon eleven year old Edith Moon, is not known. Judge Fox. who declared a short time ago that he would try Lewis on the affidavit, even if the grand jury before whom Lewis was given the unprecedented privilege of testifying, failed to return an indictment, stated this morning that the mater was up to the prosecutor. The judge was asked which prosecutor, and he said it was up to State's Attorney, Allen and not his assistant, Perry J. Freeman. Prosecutor Joshua Allen was then asked when he intended to bring the repertoire actor to trial on the charge contained in the affidavit, which was filed against Lewis, before the grand Jury met. "When does the Palladium want me to try Lewis?" Allen asked, caustically. "It seems to me that it is not up to a newspaper to try the man, but entirely up to the prosecuting attorney," the interrogator replied. "Well good bye," Allen said, evidently to conclude the interview. "You mean by that, that you will not try Lewis on the affidavit?" the prosecutor was then asked. "Ha, ha, good bye," was the answer. ELECTORS RESIGN HARRISBtTRG, Pa., Oct. 10. The 27 Roosevelt presidential electors "were taken off the Republican ticket today after their resignations were filed here. Republican Wasson said that boncfide Republicans would take the rlaces of the Roosevelt men. The Roosevelt electors appear on the Washington ticket.

BULGARIA IS ATTACKED BY TURK TROOPS

Invasion of the Ottomans Is Checked When They Were Within Forty Miles of the Capital, Sofia. MONTENEGRIN ARMY MOVES UPON TURKS Servia Has Prepared an Ul timatum to the Turkish Government to Be Answered in 24 Hours. BULLETIN. VIENNA, Oct. 10 Montenegrin sol diers are burning Mohammedan vil lages on the southern frontier and are laying all the inhabitants who have not fled. Many Albanian Mohammedans, living north of the Bojana river on Montenegrin soil have been massacred. All of the survivors are fleeing to Scutari, where the Turkish army is concentrated. The Montenegrins took the inhabitants by surprise and killed many Mohammedans at Samri&si. (National News Association) CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 10 Turkish troops have invaded Bulgaria on the western frontier and several severe skirmishes have taken place there. According to dispatches received here Turkish troops marched upon the Bulgarian town of Klisura, forty miles west of Sofia, but their advance was halted there. Another fight took place at Tarirush on the frontier. SERVIAN ULTIMATUM. BELGRADE, Servia, Oct. 10. An ultimatum was prepared by the Servian government today for presentation to Turkey tomorrow giving the Ottoman government 24 hours In which to guarantee reforms that will pacify Balkan states. If the reply is unsatisfactory or if no reply is made at all war shall probably be declared on Sunday and hostilities will tein at onee. 'ueo. rnuK woo was louay, appointed chief of staff of the Servian army will immediately begin an advance upon Turkish territory with an army of about 200,000. Premier Pasch of Servia declares that an army of 400,000 has been mobilized, part of which will be used to defend the southern and southwestern frontiers. In preparing an ultimatum which will probably mean war Servia acted In the face of renewed protests from the European powers. The French minister here, L. Coullard-Descoss, has handed the Servian cabinet a memorandum declaring that AustroHungard, France and Russia would regard it as an unwise and unwarranted act for Servia to go to war without waiting for Europe to bring further pressure upon Turkey to compel that nation to live up to the Berlin convention governing Balkan conditions. Deep resentment is felt here against Austria for refusing to allow nearly 20,000 Servians to cross the Hungarian border to join the Servian army. KING LEADS TROOPS. BERLIN, Oct. 10. With King Nicholas leading the main wing of the army, - the Montenegrin advance upon Soutari, the principal city o.f Albania, began today according to a telgram from Cettinje. Attempts were made by the foreign office to get confirmation of the telegraphed report, but up to early afternoon it had not been officially affirmed. However, as the Montegrin base of operations is at Pedgoritza, only 35 miles north of Scutrai, it was regarded in official circles as highly probable that the Montenegrins would make their first strong assault upon the Turkish stronghold in Scutrai. Berani, another important Turkish city in the extreme eastern Turkish territory in the Balkans is reported to have been captured by a Montenegrin force which began advancing from the Montenegrin frontier immediately upon the declaration of war by Montegro against Turkey. Tribesmen Fight Turks. Malassiro tribesmen are extending their hostilities throughout Albania against the Turks. Inhabitants of all Turkish villages that are unprotected are Hocking to the nearest garrison towns. Soutari, which will likely be the scene of the bloodiest fighting in the western Balkans, lies at the Southern foot of Scutari lake and has a population estimated at from 20,000 to 30,000. It is protected by a high citadel, which commands the surrounding country. It has a number of large manufacturies and is an important trading center. COMPLAINT FILED Complaint, on note and to foreclose mortgage, was filed in the Wayne circuit court this afternoon by Mary B. Jessup versus Robert C. Knopf and others.

IS PLACED UPON STAND TODAY Admits Genuineness of Letters of His Appearing in Magazine and Offers Some Explanations. OHIO MANAGER OF ' TAFT IS WITNESS Admits Nearly $70,000 Was Spent in Pre-convention Campaign Last Spring in Buckeye State. 'National News Association) WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. John D. Archbold, president of the Standard Oil company of New Jersey, was recalled today by the senate committee investigating campaign contributions. Before Archbold was called L. C. Leylin, manager of President Taft's pre-convention campaign in Ohio, testified that his filed statement showed between $65,00 and $70,00 as contributions to the Taft fund in that state. In addition to contributions from Charles P. Taft he said that money j was received from C. D. Hilles, Hulbert Taft, and one or two others who gave small amounts. Mr. Leylin denied any knowledge of any money having been sent into Ohio. A. H. Plant, president of the South ern railway, declared he knew of no contributions and had no connection with the pre convention campaign of Rep. Underwood in 1912. Mr. Archbold had been sworn on his previous appearance and no oath was administered today. Mr. Archbold testified that letters containing checks for large amounts sent to Senator Foraker, copies of which were published in Hearst's magazine, were payments for legal services in Ohio. Other letters published in the same magazine Archbold had no recollection of, but declared he had no doubt they were written by him. Among these were the letters to Senator Hanna regarding opposition to certain measures before the Ohio legislature. Archbold explained that they were written during an era of so called "strike legislation" and desire for defeat of malicious legislation was his reason for writing them. Mr. Archbold declared that he could not find copies of these letters and several others and supposed that they had been stolen. BOLD AUTOJANDITS Rob St. Louis Man Before Many People. (National News Association) ST. LOUIS, Oct. 10. Holding forty pedestrians at bay with two revolvers, three automobile bandits held up and robbed P. J. O'Mera of $3,000 early today near his saloon at 21st and Randolph streets. O'Mera, who was unarmed, struggled and called on spectators in vain. The three bandits tore a grip from his hand containing his money which he intended to use today in cashing pay checks of employes of the Terminal association. The three bandits leaped into the touring car ;and made their escape after the rob bery. SENATOR KERN SAT UPON BYJOERSOH Federal Judge Gives the "Solon" Big "Bawling" in Court Today. (National News Association) INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 10. Judge Anderson sat down hard on Senator Kern in the dynamite conspiracy case today. Examination of witnesses who are employes of telegraph companies at various cities were under examination. They were unable to furnish copies of many of the telegrams asked for by the prosecuUon because of the custcm of destroying telegrams after they are a year or more old. Despite repeated cautions from Judge Anderson, Senator Kern persisted in examining these witnesses at great length. Judge Anderson wanted the defense to waive this protracted examination because it concerned evidence that was merely preliminary. Finally the judge became exasperated and warned Mr. Kern that he would not stand for further time being so wasted. Manager Mounte of the Western Union office in Indianapolis identified telegrams from McManigal to his wife in Chicago, telling her when he would be home on a certain night in July, 1910. The purpose of the introduction of these telegrams was to show that certain defendants were in cities on particular dates.

LEE CALLS

A COLLEGE DUDE Minneapolis Colonel Has a Letter in Which Champ Clark Indicates Feeling Against Bryan. CLARK GRIEVING ABOUT FRIENDS Lee Says Clark Is a Statesman and Not a College Dude Like Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey. (National News Association) MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Oct. 10. Col. E. T. Lee, of this city, has made public a letter which he received from Speaker Champ Clark in which the bitter feeling Clark holds toward William J. Bryan is indicated. The letter from Clark came in response to one written by Lee in which the Civil war veteran expressed regret at the speaker's defeat in the Democratic convention. Mr. Clark's reply reads: 'I thank you for your very kind let ter. I have had thousands and thous- i ands of telegrams and letters from j Democrats and Republicans voicing ! their indignation toward and their protestation of the men who lied me out of the nomination after I had led by thirty ballots, in nine of which I had a majority. In taking the nomination from me under such circumstances they violated the precedents of sixtyeight years. "I do not charge this up against Gov. Wilson, whom I intend to support with what power I have in me. The chief regret I have about it is the grief of my friends, which breaks me up. Men who have faced cannons mouths without blanching have come to me and cried like babies. Of course their grief goes to my heart. "I have done my duty to my party in all the days that have gone by and will continue to do so." In a letter requestinf publication of the Clark letter. Col. Lee writes: "As William Jennings Bryan ia to be here tnisweek I am sending a letter I received from Champ Clark, speaker of the, house. He was beaten out of the nomination by Bryan, the man who lied him out of the nomination. We old soldiers thought well of Clark. He led the vote in the house in favor of the old soldier pension bill.' He was the proper one to nominate at Baltimore. He is a statesman and not a college dude like Woodrow Wilson. I am a Lincoln Republican, but can't go Taft nor Woodrow Wilson." 5 POSTAL CLERKS KILLED IN WRECK (National News Association) MANSFIELD, O.. Oct. 10. The post office authorities here have been notified that five postal clerks lost their lives in the wreck of the B. & O. passenger train No. 14. at Chicago Junction, O., this morning.

IN ROUGH ON RATS Richmond Couple Mistakes Poison for Flour and Almost Dies as Result. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Kitson, 713 North C street, probably are alive today because Mrs. Kitson did not make gravy for some liver which she prepared at the home of their son in Hamilton, Ohio, late last week. As it was, both were desperately sick and it took heroic work of the attending physician to save their lives. When the Kitsons arrived at the home of their son, they found nobody at home. As the hour for super arrived and the members of the family were still gone, Mr. Kitson bought some liver and Mrs. Kitson set about to prepare it. Her search of the pantry failed to reveal flour. Finally she discovered what she thought to be flour in a flat pan- Rolling the liver in the substance Mrs. Kitson fried it and husband and wife sat down to the meaL Before they had completed their repast their son and his wife returned. Noting the manner in which the liver had been prepared the daughter-in-law inquired where Mrs. Kitson had found the flour. She pointed to the pan. "That's rough on rats," screamed the daughter-in-law in fright. A physician was immediately summoned. He applied remedies and managed to save their lives, although the Richmond couple was very sick until early this week. "The only thing that saved their lives," said the physician, "was that Mrs. Kitson did not make a gravy of the rough, on rats. Had she done so, the liquid would have spread the poison and both would have been beyond help-

WAYNE BOARD

THE SERVANT OF This Is Generally Accepted Belief After Progressives Are Refused Inspectors at Election. ACTION OF BOARD CLEARLY ILLEGAL Decision of Commissioners Yesterday Should Have Been Made Last Month, the Law Provides. WHY THE COMMISSIONERS APPOINTED REPUBLICAN WORKERS AS INSPECTORS. HOMER FARLOW: "It's about the only thing we could do. You see I am on the Republican county ticket. It'a always been done that way before. I can't see where any unfairness will be done. That's the law. you know. Or is it really the law? May be I'm mistaken about that, but anyway the Progressive party is not recognized as a party yet and really is not entitled to any inspectors." ROBERT N. BEESON: "There is really no reason why we appointed all Republican Inspectors. It doesn't make any difference to me. But, you see. Homer is on the Republican ticket and he thought we ought to appoint Republicans as Inspectors. Of course the Inspector holds the highest office on the election board. As matters now stand the Progressives cannot even have watchers when the ballots are counted. The Democrats did not ask for Inspectors because they knew they would not get them." BARNEY LINDERMAN: " I think it was the best thing to do. I would not say it was done because Homer is a candidate. The main reason would be that If any difficulty arose as to the voting it could be settled easier, with less dispute." The action taken yesterday by the county commissioners in appointing Republican workers as election inspectors was illegal and contrary to the law. The law provides that county commissioners at their September meeUng shall appoint the election Inspectors and then at their regular meeUng the week prior to the election shall fill all vacancies existing in the list of inspectors. As the commissioners failed to make any appointments at their September meeting all the offices of Inspectors are vacant, except in precincts where township trustees reside, who, by their office, become the election inspectors in their precincts. The Wayne County commissioners' action has aroused general Indignation among Progressives, for their illegal action in attempUng to shut out the Progressives from any representation on the election boards, ,1s regarded most unfair. County Chairman Will Robbins said yesterday that he felt that the action of the commissioners was so manifestly unfair that hundreds of voters would vigorously resent it. It is regarded as a desperate move by the old Wayne County Republican machine, he said. "The request that bad been made by the Progressives was fair and the commissioners know they should have honored it," he concluded. Reverse Opinions. On September 4th the Commissioners asked Wilfred Jessup what he thought about the request that the Progressives had made. He replied that the board should grant it, because otherwise the Progressives would have no representatives at the polls. He also said that the law was plain and that the commissioners would have a perfect right to grant the request. The commissioners the same day announced that they would grant the request. Yesterday the request wss refused and the reasons assigned for this reversal of opinion, as shown above, are not regarded satisfactory by the rank and file of the Progressive party. The Inspectors. , Appended is the list of inspectors appointed yesterday by the county commissioners, at the request of the Republican county chairman: Abington J. I. Helms. Boston J. C. Pyle. Center One, John H. Jackson; two, F.'E- McMinn; three, Levi Bennett. Clay One. Merrit Nicholson; two, Abner Bond. Dalton H. B. Macy. Franklin One, Irvin Anderson; two. T. A. Smith. Greene One, W. E.
