With Refugees from The Countryside And flttoman
Troops Who Ran Before The Allies And Their
. Presence Serves To fan The (lames Of Feir That
, Ron Through The Turkish Capital
London, Nov74. There is a dls
fetch from Constantinople that the
lurks have turned to the powers with
a admission that they have beea
beaten and a plea for mediation. This
application Is said to have been made
to the foreign ambassadors In Con
stantinople and to the powers through
Ibe portc's representatives In the
chancellories of Europe. Mediation
with a view to the cessation of bcwtll
iUea Is said to be the request of the
arte.
The reinforced Turks are turning
mi their pursuers and fighting be
tween Isrtmidja and Serai, while an
other division la heading for Tcha
taldja. It lo doubtful If this division,
to close pruned are they fay the, vic
torious Bulgara, oan reach their goal.
In the meantime the 'powers recog
rite the, serious situation at Constan
tinople. The sultan's city Is filling
up, .with fugitives from the -country-.
lde and Ottoman, troops 'who-ran"
lore, th' eallles,- and their presence
serves "to- fan the tastes of faar that
ran throurh the, capital. ,
The third British battleship, squad
ron, with coul for a long voyage in
the bunkers, Is steaming eastward
from Gibraltar. Although t,he" British
warships at Dovonoort and 'other
places are coaled and ready, they did
rot sail as was eipected.
Though there la unwonted activity
in and around the foreign office, It is
officially dunled that the torpedo de
stroyer squadron that Is being over
hauled for immediate action at Ports
mouth 1b preparing for any Levant
cruise.
The Greeks took Prevesa, on the
Turkish sldt of the entrance to tho
Gulf of Arta, after capturing the ports
of Nokopollfl, which look down on the
Turkish fortress. The Turkish gar
rlBon fled, but the Greeks captured
some 400. A Turkish torpedo boat In
the Gulf of Arta was burned.
It la stat6d that the Turks lost 20,
000 In killed and wounded In further
fighting on Saturday south of Lule
Burgaa. The Turks resisted mag
alflflcently, but were overwhelmed by
the Bulgarlnn artillery, which waa
handled with terrific effect It was
this which compelled the retreat to
Tchat&ldja, where the Turks Intend
(o make a supreme effort to save the
capital! The Bulgarian losses must
have been enormous. -
CONFIRMS TURKS' DEFEAT
Correspondent Declares the Rout of
the Ottomans Was AppaWno.
London, Nov. 4. The correspondent
cl the Dally Chronicle, writing from
Ohorlu on Nov. 1, confirms the pre
vious reports of the defeat of the
Turks in the big battle with tho Bui
eurlans, which he says was "Irretriev
able, terrlblu and appalling:" He says
it was followed by a rout "scarcely
paralleled In history," Forty thousand
of the Turkish troops, says tho corre
spondent, havo fallen, and 76 per cent
of the artillery was captured. Abdul
lah Pasha had a narrow escape from
capture. The army found Its way
back to Chorlu by handfuls. The
Bulgarian artillery mowed down thou
sands of Turka during the battle. Tho
Bulgarian artillery was much superior
to that of tlio Turks.
It appears that I lie Bulgarians had
4 bad quarter of an hoar's battle after
rapturing the town of Lule Burgas.
They advanced from the railroad sta
tion, a distance of four miles, and
durlngrthls time passed through de
pression between the hills.' Here the
Bulgarians were tremendously mauled
by Turkish shrapnel from the heights
MDATON
above, and when the confusion among
them Was at the worst, Turkish cav--hy
dashed from concealment and,
shouting "Allah!. Allah!" swept llko a
tornado on the- remnant of the Bul
garians, who fled with the cavalry
pursuing and riding them down. But
the Turkish cavalry rode too far and
came within range of the "Bulgarian
machine guns, which brought horses
and riders to the ground la a lorn
and mantled masB, from which few
issued alive.

party."
.Charles D. Hllles, Republican

dent that the verdict will carry

the total to almost a decisive vie-
.ory."
Senator Joseph M. Dizon, Pro-
gresslve national chairman: "All
indications point to a Roosevelt
landslide. The past 10 days has '
seen a tremendous drift towards
Roosevelt In every part of the

on was Injured by being thrown vio
lently against the top of the touring
tar of Abram E. Elklns, In which he
ss returning to Princeton after his

rf the top cut a- gash nearly three
Inches long in the top of his head and
he was temporarily dazed by the force
of the Impact, although not rendered
unconscious. The car struck a mound
In the road whlcb had been caused by
na excavation.
After the wound had been dressed
by Dr. J. O. Titus ot Hlghtstown tho
governor continued his Joursey, reach
ing his home in Princeton a little af
ter 4 a. m. Sunday. Ho Is about again
as usual, and except for the soreness
In his head seems to be none the
worse for his mishap. The dressing
ct the wound had necesltated tho
shaving of a circular patch about four
inches In diameter on the governor's
head. This led him to remark that
the principal resnlt of tbe accident ap
parently bad been to make blm pre
maturely bald.

HIS DEMEANOR REMAINS SAME
Insists He Killed the Baltimore
Heiress In Self-Defense and la Ex
pected to Repeat Before the Grand
Jury the Story He Told the Pallcs
Husband and Wife Greet Each Other
Affectionately.
Chicago,1 Nov. 4. Charles Nowton
Kramer, whose stage name is Con
way, circus clown, acrobat and high
diver, and who confessed to having
killed Miss Sophia Gertrude Singer of
Baltimore, ISA., it Is expected, will re
peat his tragic story of the murder
when, the coroner's inquest over the
body of the victim Is resumed. Mrs.
Kramer, who gave the police the first
definite information that her husband
had killed Miss Singer, also will tes
tify, with a number of other wit
nesses. In tho meantime Kramer and
his wlfo are being held without bail.
Kramer's demeanor remains the
same as when he first was taken Into
custody. He insiBta that he killed tho
woman In self-defense and professes
te-BaUeva-thafc-b. wUWbe-f rceeVwherr

court. He continues to Jest about uU

Police Discredit Claim.

,he JkNfer Miijfl,,8lnger,jn lf-defense
aud will endeavor' to ' show that the '
'motive for tbe klltlns; war robbery.
Is support of-tkls theory the police
point to tbe circumstance that the
clothesline which Kramer used to
bind MIsS 8Inger was taken from the
back yard at 6 oclock In the evening;.
Mveral hours before the murder was
committed.
His explanation of this is that' his
wife asked him to get the clothesline
fo she might dry some clothes in
their room.
Kramer and his wife met in Police
Captain Nootbanr's- private office for
a few moments. They greeted each
other affectionately.
"I told tho police that you had noth
ing to do with the murder," Kramer
said to his wife. "I alone am to blams
&nd am -willing to take all tho conse
quences. 1 hopo they do not try to
rtick you for it."
Kramer's Story.
Kramer, whoso stage name la Con
way, added a new feature to the state
ment made by his wife, Beatrice
RywlHCramer, known on tho variety
stajje as the "burlesque queen." He
said that he knocked Miss Sinker
dovn in self-defense when she at
tacked him' with razor, after he had
rebuked her for making, he said, a
suggestion to Mrs. Kramer to go but
and meet some men. Kroner exoner
ated his wlfo from all blame In con
nection with tho crime.
He said that he never meant to kill
Miss Singer and that ho bound and
gagged her to prevent her making an
outcry. Hesald that he took $35
ftom Miss Singer's purse and two
suits of clothes belonging to W. R.
Warthen.Mlss Singer's finnre.hecaus
be was penniless and shabbily clad.
