ALLIES WIN mommies Utmost Bray’ery Displayed on Both Sidesâ€"Another Bulgarian Army Invades Turkey By Way pf Black Sea A despatch from London says: The news from the seat‘of war on Wednesday night tells of the con- tinued successes of the allies. The Servians have captured Novi Bazar and are the virtual masters of . Kumanova. The victories, however, 'have been purchased at heavy sac- rifices. ’ The situation in Thrace is becomâ€" ing clearer. A great battle is being fought'over’ a wide semiâ€"circular front before Adriaprle, upon ‘ . hich town the Bulgarians are graâ€" ually closing in. On the east they have occupied Vasilikzi.‘ and Tirn- ovo, and are continuing their ad- vance southward. On the west the Bulgarians, ac- cording to official Sofia accounts, have reached the Arda River, close to Adrianople, which is being vig- orously bombarded. Already the two outer forts have fallen. Some positions to the north of Adrianopl‘e are also said to have been taken after fighting of the severest char‘ acter. ~ It is significant that Wednesday night’s Constantinople despatches have a less confident tone than pre- vious 'despatches from the Capital, while they admit a heavy struggle, in which both sides are showing the utmost bravery. Information concerning the Men- tenegrin progress is meagre, but the Turkish authorities claim that Scutari has been reinforced and is safe. Rift“ in Balkan Concert. ( .A Salonika despatch asserts that the Malissori tribes‘are offended be- cause the Montenegrin commanders are proclaiming the sovereignty of «axing Nicholas in the captured Al- banian towns. They demand that King Nicholas give a guarantee that he evacuate Albanian territory . and secure autonomy for Albania. So far they have received no satis- factory reply, and it is reported that they are refusing to fight fur- ther for the Mon-tenegrins, whose advance has been thereby checked. About 1.000 Bulgarian prisoners of war have arrived in Constanti- nople, according to a special des~ patch from the Turkish capital. ‘ Greeks Capture Servia. A despatch from Athens says: The Greek-s have occupied the town of Servia, and have also captured the bridge over the River Aliak- mon (Indje Karasa), thereby cutting off the retreat of the Turks. Another Bulgarian Invasion. 'A despatch from Sofia says: An- other Bulgarian army has invaded Turkey. this time along the shores of the BlackSea‘. After occupying the coast town of Vasilika. they captured Tirnovo, and are new ad- vancing southward upon the impor- tant town of Visa. The prisoners taken by the B111- garians say the vigorous offensive movement of the invaders took the Turks by surprise. The Turks are demoralized, ill-fed and badly disâ€" ciplined. ' Varying Reports of Fight. According to one report, a deci- sive movement against Kirkâ€"Kilis- seh began Menday evening, when cavalry and infantry, under cover of a heavy artillery fire, attacked the town on two sides. The Bulgar- ians have completely surrounded Kirkâ€"Kilisseh, which the Turks re- gard as of almost equal importance with Adrianople. Its defence has been entrusted to Muktar Pasha, son of the Grand Vizier, and HaZIm Pasha. - Severe fighting is also reported in the Struma Valley. The Bulgarians on Tuesday occupied important- strategic points in Kresna Pass. The Turks fled, abandoning mum‘- tions and supplies. Scrvian Victories. A despatch from Belgrade says: Oflicial announcement was made here on Thursday night that the Servians have captured Novi Ba- zar, Prestina, Kumanova, Kratova and Kotschana. Detachments of the Servian army entered Kumano- va on Thursday -afternoon after annihilating the Turkish batteries. The fighting around that town last- ed three days. The Turks Defeated. In an engagement Tuesday at Mai-ash, at the junction of the Mir- itza and Arda Rivers, close to Ad- rianople, the Bulgarians were at- tacked by 8,000 Turks. -After an hour of heavy artillery and rifle fire the Turks were defeated and fled in disorder, leaving the field strewn with dead and wounded. The Bul- garians captured 300 prisoners, a dozen d‘iiick-firers and quantities of munitions. Many Turks drowned themselves in the river because they believed the~ Bulgarians massacred their prisoners. Drove Greeks Back. A despatch from Athens says: General Sapountzakis, the Greek commander, wires from Arts. that throughout Wednesday fighting in , the Kamatsades defile was, indec1â€" sive. At night the Turks made a surprise attack with greatly su- perior forces and Succeeded in driv- ing back two Greek battalions oc- cupying the defile. The engage- ment continued all night. At Grimbovo the Turks were driv-. en with great loss by a counter at- tack from the position they‘had captured. The fighting continued on Tursday, during which the Turks lost seventy killed. W Mass Meeting to Be Held in Mont- real Respecting Cost of Living. A despatch from Montreal says: It was announced on Wednesday morning that plans are being pre- pared fer a mass meeting to be held in the Monument, National or some other large hall, the object of which will be to draw the attention of the Federal Government to the neces- sity for immediate action to reduce the cost of high living in the coun- try generally, and in Montreal parâ€" ticularly. Alderman Blumenthal declared on Wednesday that inves- tigations which had been quietly carried out lately by a number .of those who are behind the proposi- tion have disclosed extraordinary revelations in connection with the storage of food in the cold storage lants of the city. “There is enough ood in the cold storage houses and refrigerating plants of Montreal,” he said, “to feed the whole populaâ€" tion of Canada for six months to come.” 4‘...â€" WOMBN START roon nlor'. Result of German Butchers Rc- fusing to Sell Imported Meat. , A despatch from Berlin, Ger- many, says: Hundreds of Berlin housewives joined in a wild riot on Wednesday because the butchers in the municipal markets refused to vfhnndle meat imported so as to re~ 'duce the cost of living. The prin- cipal trouble occurred in the Wed- ~ ding District, which is entirely in- habited by working people. Hun- dreds of women went to the muni- cipal market there on Wednesday morning hoping to profit by the re- ABUSE OF COLD STORAGE. I duced prices settled on by the Munâ€" icipal Council. They found, how- ever, that the butchers had agreed not .to deal in meats imported by the municipality. They then stormâ€" ed the buteher-s’ stalls, seized all the native-raised meat, trampled it on the ground, and’fought with the butchers, who were trying to pro- tect it from destruction. The pol- ice were forced to close the market to put an end to the riot. _._*____. FISIIERY PROTECT-ION. GovermncntIIas Ordered Two Fast Cruisers From Dublin Yard.

Miss Slavin had approached a large wardrobe that has occupied a posi- tion in one of the corridors on the second floorfor many years, and in some manner pulled it over upon herself. She was crushed to the floor, and although extricated by the proprietor, within half a minute she was already dead, her skull having been fractured. _.â€"â€".â€">_§‘â€".__.._._ NURSE cons INSANE.

The jury had been out exactly seven hours and 57 minutes. The length of its deliberation, and the frequency of its requests for exhi- bits, together with an unmistakable sign of hot arguments in the jury- room, had led most of those" who waited late at the Criminal Courts building to believe that there would be no agreement. ,. So that when the blow finally fell upon the defendant its force was all the more crushing. Becker’s lawyers had grown more confident as the hours sped. Beck- er himself, chatting pleasantly with his wife, the Plitt brothers, and a former reporter, Frederick H. Haw- ley, who had testified in his behalf, was serenely confident that there could be no answer fro mthe jury- room save not guilty.

When the momentous answer came to the question of the clerk of the court, “Gentlemen, have you agreed upon a verdict?” the Lieutenant.turned calmly toward Harold B. Skinner, the foreman, and displayed no emo- tion whatever as Mr. Skinner pro- nounced a few short words that spelled his fate. The only sign of agitation, the only visible appear- ance of shock, wasagrayness that spread over his dark face, the nar- rowing of the fierce eyes, and a contraction of the muscles of the throat. Presently when he lifted his right hand and gave oath as to the facts of his age and circum- stances there was not a quiver of the big arm or a waver of a finger. He could answer the formal ques- tions put to him only in chusky tones, barely audible a few feet from where he stood at the bar of' the court. lbs.
