A dispatch to the Kansas City concluding the Russo • Turkish
Journal dated London, Sept. 29,
reads as follows:
London, Sept, 29.—Italy de-
clared war on Turkey at 2:80
o'clock this afternoon, the hour
at which the ultimatum expired.
An hour before that a shor.t dis-
patch from Salonika, European
Turkey, said an Italian cruiser
had destroyed a Turkish des-
troyer in the harbor of Prevesa
in Epirus and lauded troops,
the Turkish authorities sending
a battalion of troops to Prevesa.
The Italian fleet at Tripoli has
landed troops and marines, but
whether there was much fight-
ing cannot be learned, the Ital-
ians taking charge of the tele
graphs immediately after land
ing and not allowing a word of
news to be sent out. A dispatch
war the powers are understood
to have agreed to permit Italy a
"pacific penetration of Tripoli.”
Turkey claims that this right has
been respected ever since. Italy
has colonized Tripoli until her
interests in that African prov-
ince are very great. She has
asserted, however, that her sub-
jects have been mistreated by
the Ottoman authorities and con-
stantly discriminated against
Frequent disputes have arisen
but the prolonged negotiations
have never resulted satisfactorily

Another Dam In Pennsyl-
vania Breaks With
Above Results.
From K. C. Journal.
Austin, Pa., Sept. 80.—Be-
tween 850 and 1,000 persons
were drowned and untold num-
bers were maimed here when
the great dam of the Bayless
Pulp and Paper Co., holding
back more than 500,000,000 gal-
lons of water, went out today.
Forty bodies have been recov-
ered, many of them so maimed
that recognition is impossible.
Governor John K. Tener of
Pennsylvania has been asked for
help and a relief train is on the
way from Coudersport, fourteen
miles away. The population o:
the town was 3,200. Other vil-
lages below are reported to have
suffered heavily, Costello being
in ruins and Wharton damaged.
The survivors aro in a frenzy.
There is no organization, the
town being dazed by the force of
the calamity which came with-
out a moment’s warning. Bur-
gess Michael Morn has not been
located and it is feared he has
been drowned. Hundreds of
men, women and childen are
searching through the ruins of
the village for their families and
friends.
The only light is the glare ef
hundreds of houses which
caught tire from broken gag
pipes almost before the flood bad
passed. Chaos reigned from the

Meantime many bodies fie in tbe
wake of tbe flood.
The dam was built two years
ago. It was 530 feet long, span
ning tbe little valley formed by
Freeman Run and rising to the
height of forty-nine feet. It was
of concrete, thirty-two feet wide
at the base and said to be
constructed after the most ap-
proved plans of modern engi-
neering.
The basin behind it had never
been completely filled with water
until this week and today it was
noticed that water was running
over the top of the structure.

writing this letter, would be so
anxious to soquit one men of sn
offense and at the same/time be
so extremely willing and anxious
to convict others charged with
the seme offense, when each
wss committed st your own
doors. You endeavor to justify
tbe action of this jury by saying
that the article sold was Jamaica
ginger and contained 91 per
cent alcohol; but you say further
in justification, that it conformed
with the Pure Food end Drag
Act, and was made under a for-
mula of the United States Phar-
atate that the defendant himself
testified under oath that he
would have sold IV to anybody
who called for It, whether they
claimed they wore sick and
needsditfOr medicine or not.
This you will remember.
Now there is one thing that
that he knew it contained 91 per
cent alcohol. Th en you cannot
deny that the inst ructions of the
court, which was the only lew
the jury had, waa that, if be did
sell the article nar.t'd in the in*
formation, and which he admit-
ted he sold, that he waa guilty
and it was their duty ondar their
oaths to so find. Now, If yon
can find any wy whereby ion
can justify the verdied •§ hew

and under snch instructions, ex-
cept that tbe jury would disre-

in any manner avoid; that ia,
that the jury in thia case held up
their hands before an Almighty
God and said that they would
try that case of Cap Lane's ac-
cording to the law and tbe evi-
dence; that they would render a
true verdict in compliance with
such law and evidence. Then
there is something further that
you cannot deny, and that is,
that the evidence was uncontra
dieted. The defendant himself
testified that be made tbe sale:
be glad fo r yon toffnd it.
The trouble with yon gentle-
men is, that you cry for the as-
sistance of the officers and whan
tbe officer attempts to assist you
then you say "he may instruct
us, that it is a violation, provided
it is'our friend, but .we know
what to do." Now if you know
and do not need any instructions
then don’t call upon tbe officers
to help you. ,
