SHRINERS FROM MANY SECTIONS Out Of 128 Temples In North Amer ica 35 Were Represented In Med ford During Ceremonial Here On Monday Parade In Rain. Medford is nothing if not epie sentative of Norm America. So believes John J Treat, imper ial potentate of Xorth America, or der of tho Mystic Simno. For in this city at tho ceremonial h.olJ Monthly 85 temples woro reoroMinlc-.l out of a total of 128 tempio; in North America.

CONSTANTINOPl.::, Sept. 2C The Italian charge D'affaires here today notified the Turkish govern ment that any despatch of Turkish reinforcements to Tripoli would be regarded as u hostile act. Tho mes sage is regarded as a virtual ultima tum. Excitement throughout Turkey is great. LONDON, Sept 20. Open deti auca of the wor-threats by Turkey, mobilization of the Italian fleet and the-allcged preparation of an ultima tum by Italy demanding the immedi ate cession of Tripoli by the Ottoman empire are. tho startling develop ments in the negotiations for the dis puted trade center today. The sit uation is regarded here as very grave and war is looked for. Turkey has thrown down the gauntlet to Italy in nn open declara tion that she will not surrender Tri poli, which Italy covets for commer cial purposes. Although practically without a navy, while Italy's mari time strength is particularly high at this time, Turkey believes that ahe can defeat any force Italy can scud against her. It is reported hero today that Italy- is preparing an ultimatum emphati cally threatening force unless the cession to her of Tripoli is made at once. That the threat is not to be nn idle one is demonstrated by the fact that the Italian fleet is in pro cess of mobilization in tho harbor of Palermo, and is being thoroughly coaled nnd provisioned, tho maga zines of all ships filled and tho crew augmented. One report is that two Italian bat tleships aro now cruising off Tri poli. If the report is true it nrobn- bly means that tho battleships havo been ordered to intercept vessels carrying a Turkish army corps to tho disputed territory.

Swirling snow flurries on the sum mit of tho Sierras, where, nlroady tho fall is more than two inches, nnd heavy rains on tho coast slopo to day made it impossible for Robert G.

With the official count ranking it certain that the toll of dead and wounded through the disaster to be balttle ship Libcrte, will reaeh 435 desper ate efforts are being made here to day to rescue from tbe debris mem bers of the warship's crew who are known to be alive in its bhattered hull. Anchored, beside the partly sub merged wreckage of the warakip is a navy repair vessel, the crew of which i& xarelully burniaft tkrettftk tho steel plates of thlfXIberte with acetylent gas jets, working slowly o that the steel plates shall" not fait inward nnd crush the victims held below tho surface of the water. Threo Others Damaged. Drydocks were hastily prepared to day to receive tho Verite, Rcptab lique and Democratic, which were damaged in the disaster. Minister of Marine Delcasse and Admiral Germinet are convinced that the fire started in the oil storeroom nnd the higher officers of the war ship are blamed for being absent. A court of inquiry is to be named immediately which will consist of of ficers of flag rank only who" will fix the responsibility for the accident and recommend changes in tho man agement of navy vessels which will prevent the recurrence of such dis asters. Twenty-five sailors have already ied in tho marine hospital and it is probable that us many more who are now in tho hospital will succumb. Plot Hinted at. The suspicion is growing that the destruction of the Libcrte was part of a plot to destroy the entire navy. Mysterious fits in tho arsenal here, accidents to ships in drydoaks and firo discovered Inst night in the hold of LnPutrie, have aroused the port officials and tho secret service i today investigating. Tho fire in LaPatrio was discov ered near tho magazines und immed iately was flooded and extinguished. Five sailors who wero imprisoned in the Liberte's forward turret part which was abovo water wore res cued today none tho worso for their remarkable experience.
