Two companions of the dead bandit escaped with the registered mail. None of the passengers were injured. A plucky brakeman nearly frustrated the bandit and was responsible (rated the robbers. and was accountable for the one killed. The train stopped at Delta for water and two bandits went aboard. __One climbed over the tender and .covered the fireman and engineer with a revolver. The other entered the mail car and held up the mail clerks. A brakeman who had dropped off - the train on the side of the station saw the extra man in the tender and guessed the situation. He ran to the nearest ■ store, caught up a rifle, re- - turned and shot the robber who was on the tender. The other bandit leaped at the sound of the shot and ran for the nearby hills, carrying the registered mail sack. He has a good chance of escaping into the neighboring hills. / The train proceeded.

TURKS ARE FLEEING TO CONSTANTINOPLE Sultan’s Defeated Troops Find Last Refuge in Capital. BULGARS ARE SHELLING CITY? High Priest Calls for Holy War —Manfesto Pleads With Wise Men to Excite Soldiers—2oo Are Reported Massacred. London, England, Nov. 11.—The Daily Mail says it learns that the defeated Turkish troops are swarming into Constantinople from Tchatalja and camping in the narrow, crowded streets of the Stamboul quarter. A wireless dispatch to the Morning Post, dated Thursday, from a steamer in the Black sea, says: “Practically all of the Turkish army has reached Tchatalja and the whole of the position is occupied except Kadelnkeui, about the center of the line, and that should be occupied tomorrow. The troops are tired and their morale is bad. Supplies are being sent to them with all possible speed. The Bulgarians seem to be renewing their supplies of ammunition before the final advance. “Although the Turkish position naturally is strong, the task of reorganizing the army for a successful defense seems remote, but this depends upon the rapidity of the Bulgarian advance. “Nearly all the inhabitants have deserted the country and are moving toward Constantinople. The roads are filled with thousands of refugees.” Washington, Nov. 11.—While active preparations are being made to get the armored cruisers Tennessee and Montana headed toward Turkish waters within 48 hours to protect Americans, the revenue cutter Unalga, now at Port Said, probably will be turned back from the Suez and ordered to rush to the Turkish coast, where after a three and one-half day’s sail she could arrive a full fortnight ahead of the big cruisers. The Unalga carries a crew of 70 men and could furnish refuge for 500 or more Americans. It is probable that one of the cruisers will go to Constantinople and the other to Beirut, where there is a very large share of American civic and educational interests. * New York, Nov. 11.—“ The Bulgarians are now 7 bombarding Constantinople. Jhe city is burning and fast falling into ruins. The Turks are massacring the Christians.” The foregoing startling report was received by Arshag D. Mahdesian, editor of the Magazine Armenia. The cablegram was in secret cipher from a friend of the editor in Constantinople. Mr. Mahdesian said he could not figure out at what time the message had been filed. He said that three weeks ago he had made arrangements with an Armenian friend in the Turkish capital to flateh to him in a special secret cipher the news of the culmination of tl\e Bulgarian siege of Constantinople the instant it occurred. “My friend is rich and Influential and knows how’ to obtain access to the cable there,” said Mr. Mahdesian. "Appalling as his message sounds I am convinced that he has sent me the truth abput the real situation at this moment in Constantinople.” London, Nov. 11.—The report of 1 Salonika’s fall is confirmed by/dis- 1 patches from Athens. Crown Prince 1 Constantine led his army into the an- : clent city without resistance and the ! city was formally surrendered to him. Constantinople, Nov. 11.—The Sheik- 1 Ul-Islam, head of the hierarchy in Turkey, issued the following appeal for a holy war in a manifesto addressed to the Ulemas and Hodkas: I "With a view to exciting and encouraging the soldiers of the enemies w’ho surround us, their priests, cross in e hand, are working in the ranks of the < army. It is not fitting that our Ulemas ] shoud neglect the accomplishment of < a similar duty. ] "In order that the victory and glory < promised by the Almightj' may be i granted without delay to the Ottoman i army it is necessary that the venera- 1 ble Ulemas organize a Jihad. Such a 1 holy war has forever become an obli- t gatipn if the condition of the Ottoman t soldiers, who all are heroes, is to be strengthened. “Ulemas who feel that they possess the aptitude and strength to partici- < pate in this important task are invited to present themselves immediately at the Sheik-Ul-Islamat, which will send , those selected to the army.” Bulgarian Headquarters, Stara Za- , gora, Nov. 11.—Two hundred Christian < families have been massacred by ( Turkish soldiers in the town of Bo- < j.udes on the Sea of Marmora. A mill- j tary dispatch from the front today stated that when a Bulgarian column i entered the town they found it filled j with the dead.

JACKSON CONVICTS PLOT TO DYNAMITE PRISON > Detectives, in Guise of Felons, Unearth Conspiracy and Fix Guilt for Recent Fire. Jackson, Mich., Nov. 11. —Prison ofI ficials at the state penitentiary here momentarily expect a dynamise explosion which will wreck the walls of the institution and make possible a gigantic jail delivery. Detectives of the William J. Burns agency, it was learned, have uncovered a plot whereby the prison ‘was to be dynamited on Thanksgiving day while the Inmates were assembled at their turkey dinner, and a rush for freedom was to have been made. Detectives were sent for immediately after the burning of the binder twine plant a few weeks ago. Only the warden and Governor Osborn knew their identity. They were treated exactly as were the prisoners, and it did not require long for them to learn what was going on inside the prison. They found clues which fix beyond possibility of doubt the responsibility for the fire. It was while working on this plot that they stumbled on the conspiracy to dynamite the prison buildings. , Seven convicts were taken before the warden, charged with burning the twine warehouse and conspiring to dynamite the prison, and were sent to Detroit for further examination. PRESIDENT IS BACK HOME. Taft’s Smile Still Broad as He Starts for Capital. Washington, Nov. 8. —President Taft arrived here from Cincinnati Thursday, prepared to begin at once the preparation of his annual message to congress and attend to other official business which has lapsed in the past three weeks. It is possible that the president and Mrs. Taft may go to Hot Springs, Va., for a fortnight before congress opens. Cincinnati, 0., Nov. B.—His laugh unimpaired, his nerve unshaken, President Taft left here Friday night for probably the last time before he returns here on March 5 as “Mr. Taft.” At the station, where thousands had greeted him forty-eight hours before, there was but a scant handful of personal friends to say goodby to the defeated candidate. If there was any sadness, however, it was not felt by the chief executive, who laughed and chatted as gayly as he ever did before election. Indeed, it appeared as though a great load had been taken from his shoulders, and bystanders recalled the reluctance with which he had been forced into public life, and prophesied that never again would he return to the arena of a national election. M’NAMARA WARNED WRITERS. Notified Union Members to Be Careful of Their Letters. Indianapolis, Nov. .11. —“I inclose a photograph which I took from the galery.” That was the way Edward Smythe, secretary of an iron workers’ union at Peoria, Hi., sent to the union's international headquarters at Indianapolis a photograph of Herbert S. Hockin, member of the executive board, which had been taken from the rogue’s gallery in the police department, according to letters produced by the government at the trial of the accused “dynamite conspirators.” John J. McNamara’s reply to Smythe, as read, was: "That was not the way to send that photo. Hereafter when you find photos of members of the executive board in the rogue’s gallery put them in a separate envelope and mark them per- . sonal. President Ryan was present when your letter came and 1 told him he had a fine executive board.” . I HILLES CALLS OFF MEETING. Republican Chairman Decides Against Move for Successor to Sherman. Washington, Nov. 11. —It is understood here that Chairman Hilles has called off the Chicago meeting of the Republican national committee because he had decided it was best to allow the Taft electors to exercise their own judgment as to a vice-presidential nominee without suggestion from the national committee. Furthermore, it has been suggested that it would seem ludicrous to call 48 national committeemen together to act for the guidance of eight electors. 900 TAKEN OFF STEAMER. ’ , Old Ferry Boat Rescues Passengers ( From Stranded Royal George. | Quebec, Nov. 9. —With her 900 passengers taken off the Royal George, s the Canadian Northern railway’s liner, j which went ashore a mile east of Point ; j St. Lawrence, Isle of Orleans, Wednes- i ] day night, is resting in an easy post- j tlon and, despite a heavy sea, Is not believed to be in danger. < The nine hundred passengers were 1 taken off by the North, an old ferry, t brought here on a tender and sent to e Montreal. .

Poor Spelling as a Lure. The critical eye of a conscientious, orthographer was attracted by the sign above a Third avenue luncheon, and he went in to set the proprietor right “Yes,” said the lunchroom man, “I know ‘sandewiches’ is wrong, but you see that sign attracts a lot of ‘smart Alecks’ into the store who want to teach me how to spell and after they come they usually stop long enough to order something. What’ll yours be?”—New York Tribune. , < Vegetarian Menu. The menu of a meal given lately by the London Vegetarian association included walnut cutlets with brown sauce, cauliflower and new potatoes, asparagus on toast, spaghetti on toast, tomato farcie and young carrots. What He Did; “What have you ever done,for me?” complained the young, man whose father had chided him for his inability to get ahead. “Well, I kept your mother from naming you Percy or Clarence.” ,

Men Need Help—Not Charity. There is a higher duty than to build almshouses for the poor, and that is to save men from being degraded to the blighting influence of an almshouse. Man has a right to something more than bread to keep him from starving. He has a right to the aids and encouragements and culture, by which he may fulfill the destiny of a. man, and until society is brought to recognize and reverence this it will continue to groan under its present miseries.—Channing.,. Wanted to Live In History. Some men’s idea of fame is certainly a distorted one. A murderer in South Carolina pleaded for the privilege of being the first man to be electrocuted when that new mode of execution was introduced into the state. Forced Gaity Palls. People of the greatest gaity of manners are often the dullest cbmpany imaginable. Nothing is so dreary as the conversation or writing of the professed wag.—Hazlitt,
