THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL. MONDAY NIGHT.
TURKEYJflELDS.
Again the Sultan Is Overawed
by the Powers.
Will Grant Financial Control of
Macedonia.
ORDERS TO THE FLEET
Were to Land Men at Mitjlene
Sunday Morning.
Unless Directions Were Pre
viously Countermanded.
Vienna. Nov. 27 The Neu Frei Presse
today published a dispatch from Con
stantinople, saying- that the sultan
through Tewnk Pasha, the foreign min
ister, ha announced to Baron von Callc,
the ambassador of Austria-Hungary,
that Turkey accedes to the demands of
the powers regarding the financial con
trol of Macedonia.
Order of the fleet.
Constantinople, via Sofia. Bulgaria,
Nov. 17. The instructions to the com
manders of the international fleet were
to land detachments and occupy Mity
lene at 1 o'clock Sunday night unless
contrary orders reached them in the in
terim. Presumably the capital of the
islands is now 1n the hands of the allied
forces It was arranged In the Inter
view between the minister of foreign
affairs and the British and Austrian am
bassadors on Saturday that if by 8
o'clock Saturday night the ambassadors
received a written notice from the for
eign minister promising acceptance of
the demands of the powers th ambassa
dors would telegraph to the fleet at
Mttylene to suspend further operations
until Monday. No communication, how
ever, was received so it is suggested that
Instructions slaying the hands of the
commanders of the international fleet
have not been dispatched.
Defense of the Dardanelles.
Washington, Nov. 27. The situation
between Turkey and the European pow
ers having become so serious during
the last few days great interest is felt in
military
tlon of 1
naval circles on the ques
ish defense of the Darda
nelles. Turkey has spent a good deal of
money on the defenses of this narrow
trait and it is expected that she can
put up a successful fight against a mod
ern fleet.
The principal fortifications of the
Dai den lies which is a narrow strait of
about three miles in length are found
on the end nearest to the sea of Mar
mora. At the entrance in the Aegean
there are two old castles transformed
into new fortifications armed with Krupp
guns of 15, 24 and 28 centimeters. The
traits at that point are about three
miles broad, then growing larger and
afterward growing again much smaller
and at that point the chiaf fortifications
are built. The Dardanelles at that point
is divided into two straits by a small
Island. On the European side there are
nine fortifications. The first one of
these has 21 Krupp guns of 21 to 35 cen
timeters. On the Asiatic side there are
three well armed fortifications. One of
these has 12 Krupp guns of 35 cent!
metres. These fortifications are man
nsd b' two regiments. Their position is
strong and as they are situated on the
high banks of the straits they are able
to hold ud a much larger naval force
without great danger to themselves. The
only way to make them harmless would
be by attacking them from the high
hills on the land side. To prevent this
a continual line of fortifications has
been built closing the peninsula off from
the European side. These fortifications
have all been built under the supervis
ion of European military authorities and
are well armed with the newest guns.
An attacking fleet will have the disad
vantage of having to proceed one by one
and although it is very likely that the
combined nations could take some of
the Turkish islands, the opinion of many
naval officers here Is that they will not
be ilkely to try to sail up to Constanti
nople.
WHISKY NOT NECESSITY.
Accordingly the Express Companies
May Kaise Rate.
By vote of the state board of rail
road commissioners, it has beep decid
ed that whisky is a luxury and not a
necessity. It is understood that the
vote stood two to one. but all efforts
to find out who the "one" was have
been absolutely futile.
The decision came up in the case of
the 1'nlted States Express company
which applied for permission to in
crease the "Jug rate" on whisky. Jug
whisky has been coming into Kansas
from Missouri at a "special commodity
rate," considerably cheaper than other
kinds of express matter. The express
companies decided they would like to
increase the rate. They accordingly
filed with the board their formal ap
plication, setting forth that whisky is
a luxury, and not a necessity, and that
it was not right to charge a less rate
for luxury than for a necessity. In
other words, they wanted to raise the
rate on whisky shipments so that the
necessities would not be the vicitims
of discrimination.
The board of railroad commissioners
had a heated argument on the subject,
and one of the members stuck out till
the last that whisky was a necessity
and should be brought in at the pres
ent low rates. The other members,
however, ruled against him and al
lowed the express company to' put in
the higher rate. All the other express
companies will follow suit and whisky
will have to pay an increased tariff.
DRAMATIC STAGE SUICIDE.
A Tragic Scene Which Had No Place
in the Play.
Paris, Nov. 25. There was an unre
hearsed incident more tragic and dra
matic than the play Itself on the stage
of a theatre at La Rochelle. Mile.
Loman. a pretty actress, was playing
the heroine's role, and had reached
that Doint In the play where an affect
ing love sc.ne takes place. She was
clasped in her stage lover's tight em
brace when she suddenly wrenched
herself free. 'I cannot tolerate It fur
ihfr." she cried.
These words of despair might have
been In the play for all the audience
knew, but when the actress, with a
miick movement, tore the front of her
f ntm and, pointing a revolver at her
heart, fired, then it was realized that
" im'redv not in the play had been
nacted. The actress fell on the stage
iul Tht spectacle was too muoh
for many members of the audience,
particularly women, some of whom
swooned away.
Mile. Loman had been in a despair
in? frame of mind for some days. Her
nerves, already shaken, completely
failed her when, before the perform
ance began, she had a dispute over a
trivial matter with another artiste. The
incident so preyed on her mind that
she resolved to kill herself, and chose
the stage as the most suitable place
for committing her act of despair.
SOME WINTER MODES.
Spreading Skirts Indicate Use of Hair
cloth Vogue of Velvet Continues.
A great deal that is practical as
well as artistic Is to be found in the
winter garments. Dealers are realiz
ing that women appreciate utility no
less than beauty, and happy Indeed is
the circumstance under which the two
can be combined. Women are indebt
ed to the craze for automobiling for
many of their practical ideas in dress
today. So many women of wealth and
fashion are fond of motoring that in
the selection of their clothes for a sea
son the garments which they expect to
wear for this purpose are among the
chief considerations. Many of the
practical sensible ideas adopted for
automobile suits, wraps, hats and ac
cessories are being used for general
utility wear by other women.
Rain Coats for Fair Autoists.
One of the first necessities for the
woman who automobiles is an envel
oping and protective wrap; one that
is, above all other things, impervious
to rain. The best tailors and cloak-
makers, finding the need of these gar
ments among their wealthy patrons,
are bending their energies toward
producing especially desirable things.
The material of which such garments
are made Is of vital importance; vital
because it is in the wear and rain-
resisting quality of the fabric that
the success of the garment lies.
Wraps and suits made of grirron-
ette. a new rain proof fabric, are
among the first favorites of the hour.
The very handsome appearance of
this fabric, the beauty of texture and
coloring, the material being shown
in a number of different shades, and
its wear-resisting and rain-repelling
qualities, make It ideal for both gen
eral utility and storm wear. This
material is sufficiently handsome to
make it acceptable and desirable for
the more dressy styles In suits ana
wraps as well as the plain tailored
effects. Leading tailors and dress
makers are using a lot of the grlffon
ette. In the selection of the trim
mings for these gowns and wraps,
care is taken that these trimmings
may be so arranged that they may be
protected by the garment itself when
caught in a sudden shower, or such
materials as are not affected by the
rain are chosen.
Gray Griffonette Fashionable.
An automobile coat of more than
usual interest, because of its combi
nation of the beautiful and the useful,
is developed in gray griffonette. The
coat is cut on distinctly new lines.
Wing-like pieces fall from the shoul
ders to form a drapery surrounding the
medium-sized coat sleeve. The whole
garment is loose and enveloping and
Is finished with novel folds of the ma
terial trimming all edges of the coat
as well as the sleeves drapery. A very
handsome collar finishes the neck.
This collar expresses not only a novel
but a clever device, and shows the
means by which a handsome trimming
may be put on a garment primarily in
tended for protection against the rain.
This collar is a short fiat stole made
of a white broadcloth and richly braid
ed and embroidered in black and
white. The under side of the collar is
faced with the rainproof griffonette.
When worn in the rain, this collar is
turned up about the neck and the ends
crossed over, covering perfectly and
protecting the handsome trimming
The narrow cuff bands set Inside the
sleeve are also of the handsomely em
broidered white broadcloth. These
cuff pieces are so adjusted that they
may be turned back Inside the sleeve
for protection in case of rain.
Variety in Season's Skirts.
Much of the novelty of the season's
fashions lies in the skirt. About all
that can be said of sleeves is that
they are medium in size, and short.
But whole chapters might be written
of the new skirts. So great is their
variety that there are hardly two alike
But In the new models It will be noted
that they agree on one point at least,
and that is, the increasing width at the
hem. Another secret of the new skirts
is that they are being given some sup
port at the hem. Usually this support
is a haircloth facing of almost fairy
weight; so sheer and light as to add
nothing appreciably to the weight of
the skirt, and so flexible as to give no
suggestion of stiffness about the hem.
In fact, the haircloth, as now put In
the skirts, does not come fully to the
edge but is set from four to six Inches
above the hem, thus supporting out
neither stiffening nor making ungrace
ful the skirt edge.
Velvet for Evening Gowns.
I he vogue or velvet grows more
pronounced as the season advances
It seems as if velvet and velveteen
which, by the way. Is now dyed In
fast colors -enters Into almost every
gown this season. JTor evening wear.
for dressy day gowns, and for utility
gowns the pile fabrlos are being used
Light tone velvets of chiffon weight
are being combined with chiffon and
net to make some of the handsomest
evening gowns. Reception gowns in
princesse style are made of the fine
quality velveteens. Walking suits are
also greatly liked in the English dyed
velveteens.
Hand embroidery is seen on the
handsomer velvet gowns. The wis
teria design in embroidery is most ar
tistic and very popular. Velvet gowns
trimmed with colored gauzes and rib
bons Interwoven with gold and silver
threads are new.
Fur-Trimmed Redingotc.
The redingote is a favorite mode
The use of fur edgings is noted on
some of the newest redingotes. An
attractive model is furtrimmed all
about the edge and has a broad collar
and a turn over collar or rur. rne
coat opens to show a very long fitted
vest, which is ornamented with em
broidery and handsome buttons. Some
of the handsomest gowns of the sea
son are being made with lace pelisses
or redingotes. These are particularly
light when worn over net dresses
handsome model in heavy Irish lace 1
half length and has short sleeves. It
Is worn with a trained net dress.
The French dress makers are find
ing a new way in which to use th
empire mode. A number of model
gowns are being shown in which the
empire drapery effect is introduced
only in a sort of overdress or drapery
of lace or other transparent fabric,
the form being revealed by the fitted
gown underneath. One model of this
order is of white Chantilly lace over
dress on distinct empire lines, worn
over a fitted slip of white chiffon hav
ing neck and girdle outlined with col
ored embroidery. The home dress
maker finds unlimited use for girdle
frames and collars stiffened with feath
erbone. These girdles and collars are
the saving clause with the unskilled
dressmaker and the greatest of labor
savers for th skilled.
CO ALTRUST LOSES
United States Supreme Court
Decides Kansas Case.
Osage Operators Must Testify in
Shawnee District Court.
Washington, Nov. 27. In the case of
John D. Jack, against the state of Kan
sas, the supreme court of the United
States today held that the federal con
stitution and the federal laws can not
be invoked to relieve a witness from
testifying before a state court in a pro
ceeding involving the anti-trust laws of
the state, thus affirming the decision of
the state supreme court. Justice Peck
ham delivered the opinion.
This case against Jack was one of the
results of the prosecution of the Osage
county coal operator for maintaining a
trust.
The anti-trust proceeding was com
menced about two years ago by Otis
Hungate, county attorney of Shawnee
county. John Jack and other operators
were subpoenaed to testify, and when
placed on the witness stand, refused to
answer certain questions on the ground
that they would incriminate themselves
under the federal statutes. E. A. Aust
tin tried the case before the supreme
court, and Rossington, Smith & Histed
represented Jack.
Under the ruling of the court, the
hearing of the anti-trust proceeding can
now go ahead. County Attorney Hun
gate wfll doubtless summon the wit
nesse and resume the hearing of the tes
timony. DR. EVANS IS RECALLED
Trustees of First Methodist Church
Ask Him to Come Home.
The board of trustees of the Firet M.
E. church took action Sunday upon the
request of Dr. Wilbur Chapman for the
further retention of Dr W. C. Evans of
the First M. E. church in the evangelical
work which is being carried on at New
ark, N. J., telegraphing their refusal.
Ten days ago Dr. Evans went east to
assist Dr. Chapman in the work which
the latter is carrying on in New Jersey,
the plans which Dr. Evans laid at that
time involved simply an absence from
his pulpit of the ten days. That time Is
now up and Dr. Chapman telegraphed
to John V. Abrahams or the board ot
trustees asking that the board grant a
further leave of absence. The board
met following the usual morning ser
vices Sunday and after a number of
motions had been put, among them some
being in favor of a further leave of ab
sence, decided to refuse the request of
Dr. Chapman and later telegraphed
heir decision to that effect. Mr. P. I.
Bonebrake, who made the motion, said
this morning: "There was no want of
harmony; there was nothing of that
kind. We simply considered that it was
wiser to have Dr. Evans here than there
because of the evangelist's meetings
which have been held in Topeka. We
considered that we needed his presence
here in order that the best results might
attend the following up of the evangeli
cal work done at that time."
I exnect that Dr. Evans will iturn
and that nothing further in the way of
an extension of time will be asked for,"
said Chas. Adams, secretary of the
board.
The close association which the pas
tor of the First Methodist church ex
perienced with Dr. Chapman In the lat-
ter's work in Topeka caused the strong
est sort of admiration for the Topeka
man on the part of the noted evangelist.
Just before leaving, Dr. Chapman en
deavored to have Dr Evans devote all
of his time to that character of minis
try. Dr. Evans refused to do this
though he was strongly tempted, fol
lowing this there came so many re
peated urglngs from he evangelist for
Dr. Evans' presence In the New Jersey
revivals that the latter acceded after
having received the permission of the
board.
Strictly speaking the board of trus
tees have no dictatorial powers as far
as outlining the work for Dr. Evans or
securing his immediate return and their
attitude has been more along the lines
of advisory capacity than any other.
There is but small question but what
Dr. Evans will occupy the pulpit at the
usual services Sunday morning, return
ing sometime during the week.
PAVEMENT IS APPROVED
Twelve Blocks Included in the En
gineer's List.
Twelve adidtional blocks of new pav
ing have had their petitions approved
by City Engineer McCabe and declared
to meet the requirements laid down in
the city ordinances. The remonstrances
which have been filed against the petl
tions are declared to be inadequate.
The following pavement is in the list
approval:
West Eighth avenue, Lincoln to West
streets; Lincoln street from Eighth ave
nue to Tenth avenue; Clay street from
Tenth avenue to Eleventh street; Clay
street from Eleventh street to Thir
teenth street; Lane street from Eighth
to Tenth avenue; Lincoln street from
Seventh street to Eighth avenue and
Jefferson street from Sixth avenue to
Eighth avenue.
These petitions with those already ap
proved by the city council make a
total of twenty-two and one-half blocks
of paving petitioned for already for next
year. The limit set upon a pavement for
1906 by the council Is 30 blocks, this
leaves but seven and one-half blocks
which can be petitioned for.
A movement is on foot to extend the
pavement on West Tenth avenue to
the city's limits. In order to do so some
additional tracts of land will have to be
taken in the city. All the portion of
the city lying south of Tenth avenue is
in the city but that north is still out
side. The greater portion of that nort
is the newly laid out Melrose addition
Washburn avenue is the west limit of
the city limits.
The above paving petitions will be con
sideied at a meeting of the streets and
walks committee set for Wednesday
evening.
CITY LAW SUSTAINED.
By a Decision of the I. S. Supreme
Court in Garbage Case.
Washington. Nov. 27. The supreme
court of the t nited States today sus
talned the ordinances of Detroit and
San Francisco granting exclusive fran
chises to remove the garbage of the
two cities respectively. The decision
was Justice Harlan's and the ordin
ances were held to be in harmony with
the rights of municipalities to exercise
police control of the protection of the
public health.
GO TO JURY TONIGHT.
Heck Case Has Reached the Argu
ment Stage.
The trial of the state against Cal
Heck which occupied most of the time
of the district court last week was re
sumed this morning, and the interest
which seems centered in this trial has
not abated in the least. Although the
rain was falling and everything indi
cated that the day would be an un
pleasant one, the court room was
crowded by the time the case was
called. As in the past many of the
spectators are women and some of
them have babies in their arms. It
was one of the latter who this morning
caused Judge Dana to interrupt Attor
ney Costigan, and with apologies both
to the attorney and the mother of the
child which was fretting and crying,
asked that the child be taken from the
room.
M. F. Laycock, who was acting as
court stenographer in the court of To
peka when Heck had his preliminary
trial, was recalled by the defense and
asked to read portions of the evidence
which was wanted for the impeach
ment of John Groff. He was permit
ted to read the portion which told of
the manner in which the confession
was obtained from John Groff. which
was but a small part of the transcript
which the defense desired placed be
fore the Jury.
At 10:20 the court began reading
the instructlpns to the Jury and finish
ed by a quarter of 11. The instructions
are not bulky and are clear and con
cise and the attorneys for the state
and the defendant are greatly pleased
with the instructions as read by the
court. Judge Dana held that owing
to the importance of the case that
there would be no time limit as to the
arguments of the attorneys in the case.
Capt. McNary, assistant prosecut
ing attorney, made the opening ad
dress for the state, speaking about an
hour. During the opening speech he
exhibited to the Jury the bloody gar
ments worn by the victim, Kuntz, on
the night that the assault was made,
as well as the blood stained trousers
which were taken from the defendant
at the time of his arrest. The
trousers show a dozen holes which
indicate the locations of the blood
spots which were cut out by Chemist
O'Donnell, who made the examination
for the state. The most gruesome ex
hibit of the collection is the blood
stained overcoat which was thrown
over the head of the victim by his as
sailant as he battered on the skull
with a hammer. The state claims that
the overcoat was thrown over the vic
tim's head and face so that the ham
mer which belonged to the defendant
would not show the effects ot the
blood. There are two holes through
the overcoat about four Inches apart
where it laid over the temple of Mr
Kuntz when he was struck. These
two holes in the coat correspond ex
actly with the holes on the forehead
of the victim where the skull has been
crushed in and . where the depression
is almost an inch in depth.
Attorney Costigan, of Ottawa, began
speaking for the defense at 11:45 and
continued until the court a recess ror
the noon hour. His argument so far
indicates that the defense is not rely
ntr so much on their attempted alibi
as they are on convincing me jury
that the witnesses for the state are
unreliable. This is particularly notice
able in the case of the prosecuting
witness in the case, Mr. Kuntz, who it
is charged is not competent to testify
because of tne excessive use or arugs.
At the rate the t;ae Is progressing it
s likely that the arguments or tne at
torneys will be completed some time
during the afternoon and that the case
will be given to the jury late in the
day.
RAISE THE BARS.
City Board of Health May Quarantine
Against Oakland After All.
Careless quarantine measures on the
part of the county health authorities
with reference to the diphtheria epi
demic which exists in and adjacent to
Oakland is the charge that the city
board jof health makes. Measures may
be taken at the meeting of the board
this evening to quarantine the city
against Oakland.
"Thev are certainly paying small at
tention to keeping the diphtheria from
spreading," said Dr. Flummer of the
city board of health. "I understand
that they are not fumigating tne
houses or the clothes of the people
over there where cases of diphtheria
have existed In the family. They are
permitting them to mingle around with
other people in this condition and to
board street cars. There seems to be
no thorough attempt at enforcing
quarantine regulations and the condi
tions are very favorable to a very
serious epidemic. Topeka must do
something to protect herself against it.
If the county doesn t make an effort
to fumigate in Oakland I am in favor
of seeing the five-mile quarantine reg
ulation re-established and have the city
go ahead and take steps to enforce the
quarantine.
"Of course I don't like the idea, but
if it is a case of saving the lives of the
children of Topeka against the saving
of dollars, I am In favor of saving the
children. I understand that the coun
ty physician, D. T. Nicholl, has offered
to furnish the material for fumiga
tion, but has told the people that they
must perform the fumigation them
selves. We shall certainly take some
sort of measure this evening."
"I won't consent to a restoration of
that five mile quarantine order," said
City Physician H. B. Hogeboom. "It
will be a cold day in August when I
will stand for anything of that kind. I
think that we should quarantine To
peka against Oakland or something of
that nature.
"There is very lax enforcement of
the quarantine in Oakland and in some
cases there is no quarantine at all. A
case just came to me today. A family
by the name of Sheffield, living at 219
Freeman avenue, had a child taken
sick and die with diphtheria, but I am
told by the attending physician that
a card was never placed on the house."
The enforcement of the order to
vaccinate the school children in To
peka is another subject which will be
considered by the board. The board
of education has balked at the at
tempt to vaccinate.

Wall St., New York, Nov. 27. STOCKS
There was excited upward movements
at the opening of the stock market today
in a number of specialties and the general
level of prices were higher. There were
heavy dealings at a number of points in
the list. Sloss-Sheffield Steel was car
ried up 5 points. Anaconda 3i. points.
Smelting 2 points. Iead 2 pc V s.Amal

sit Kansas City Southern preferred.
Metropolitan Securities and Internation
al Paper preferred a point. Gains of a
large fraction included United States
Steel preferred. Sugar. Smelting prefer
red Republic Steel. Central Leather and
Chesapeake ana unm.
Whatever profit taking there was, made
little Impression on prices for some time.
Recent sensational advances closely held
specialties and the success of various
pool manipulators In putting their prices
higher created a widespread demand.
Buoyancv here and there, general confi
dence with which special stocks were
bought and the easier money market
were the factors that contributed to the
advance. Tennessee Coal moved contra
ry to the list for a while and lost a point,
but eventually became strong and rose to
113. The Rock Island stocks made grad
ual progress downward on a renewal of
last week's extensive liquidation, the
common losing 1 points and the prefer
red 1 points. Kansas City Southern

not prevent the continued rise at other
points. - The Southern Iron stocks went
up in a sensational manner, Sloss-Shef-fleld
going 7 points up to 1 o'clock and
Tennessee Coal 10 points. Other favorites
forged steadily upwards despite the set

New York.Nov. 27. COTTON New high
records for the season were made at the
opening of the cotton market today, with
trading sensationally active and excited.
The movement was caused by a circular
issued by the former bear leader on Sat
urday to the effect that he had covered
his short, contracts and also by the big
advance In Liverpool, where a small fail
ure was announced. The first prices here
were 26 to 35 points higher, with March
selling at $11.88. or 11 points above the
previous records.
Spot cotton closed steady and 26 points
