difficulties will only begin when they
have landed. There are only three
towns on the whole coast worthy of
the attention of a gimboat—Tripoli,
Bengasi! and Derna. There Is no
hnrhor and the shipfl must anchor a
mile from shore The Invading force
must take with it food supplies as It
will get no food from the hostile
Arabs.
It will be a question of years con-
cluded Professor Norton, for the
Italians to overcome the Turks.

not believe a president of the United

Letter to the
Business
Men of
Muskogee
the Juries have been compelled
struggle along with the clnss of food
against which one Jury In writing
lodged their complaint. "Thirty-five
cent Jury meals" were being freely
condemned In officials' circles yester-
day, as It Is believed by many that
the men are suffering from ptomaine
poisoning taken In their food.
May Cause a Mistrial.
It Is all but conceded now that the
affliction which has befallen the Jury
will cause a miwtrial In the case of
Rob Davla. The state and the de-
fense both have already spent a for-
tune on the trial. The state has one
witness here from Denver, the detect-
ive who arrested Bob and Amon Dav-
is in that city after they escaped from
Porum the night of May 4, when Dep-
uty Sheriff Jim Works was killed.
Judge l>e Oraffenreid hinted yester-
day that if the Jurymen were not able
to continue the case Monday he would
call a mistrial. From reports from
the Juryroom last night they will not
have sufficient strength to do jury
duty for some time to come. No at-
tempt will be made to' hold court
today.
The Illness of the jurors has played
havoc with the docket and the civil
eases will be set back a week or more,
beyond all doubt.

can It be remembered by those who
know her that she resorted to unusual
actions.
The Incident occurred in the old
Turner opera house when in the
midst of a performance she decided
It was time to go to bed and proceed-
ed to disrobe before the eyes of the
audience. For fear of breaking up
the show, a friend In a neighboring
box induced her to leave the theatre
and she was taken home.
Was Once Beautiful.
She always hus been a great ad-
mirer of beauty and made It a hobby
of hers to praise every girl who
possessed a comely face and figure.
In her girlhood days she was said to
have been beautiful but fifty years
of misfortune and sadness have
wiped away all the traces of her
beatuy.

A SUIT FOR MATERIAIjS.
The Southwestern Construction
company was used yesterday for $2,-
13 4.fi0 by the Barrett Manufacturing
company of Mifwourt. The plaintiff
alleges that the defendant company
had a contract with the city of No-
wata to do certain paving nnd to
furnish the necessary materials; that
they furnished certain materials for
which the defendants have failed to
pay. John W. Mosier is the attorney
for the plaintiff.

bills he vetoed. Mr. Taft made
bid fo-r applause; no attempt at ora-
tory. He took the audience Into his
confidence and stated his cuse with
scarcely a pause.
The crowd was not a demonstrative
one. It cheered the president when
he began and again when he fin-
ished. There was applause when Mr.
Taft exclaimed:
IIo's a Protectionist.
"I am no free trader; I am a pro-
tectionist, pledged to the policy of a
protective policy based on the cost of
production in this country and the
cost of production abroad."
The president was again applauded
when he declared he would recom-
mend -reductions in the woolen and
cotton schedules just as soon as the
tariff board reported on those sched-
ules in December, lie denounced the
present wool schedule as Indefensibly
high, but said the woolen bill which
he vetoed was drawn without regard
to the effect It would have on the
industry in this country; was drawn
without adequate information and was
largely the work of a single senator.
Mr. Taft said he felt the country
could well afford to wait two or three
months longer and get a bill based
on scienelflc data and complete in-
formation.
The farmers' free list bill, Mr. Taft
said, was intended as a compensation
to the farmer for whatever damage
he might suffer from Canadian reci-
procity. He asserted that reciprocity
would not have hurt the farmer, any-
way, but its defeat in Canada wiped
out the last reason for so slip-shod
a measure.
Mr. Taft denounced the cotton bill,
which included revisions of the steel
and chemical schedules, as a "piece
of hodge podge" that no one ever in-
tended should become a law,
The detailed explanations given of
the various bills were listened to with
the greatest apparent interest. The
president apologised several times for
the dryness of his discussion, but he
held his audience to the end.
The tariff talk was prefaced by a
