The decisive battle lasted sill day, following several days of aggressive movements which had resulted In placing tho Italian forco In Tripoli In an embarrassing position. Thero was wild panic in the city when It waB feared thata massacre of the non-combatants would follow a Turk ish victory and every one able to do bo arranged to flee to tho Italian ships in tho harbor If the Turks won.

Sculptor Rallies From Second Oper ationNo Tumor Found May Re cover but Will Bo Paralyzed on Left Side. - SAN FKANCISCO, Out. 128. Ar thur Putnam, the California fcoulptor, fa in a more serious condition than he has boon at any previous tune .since since his confinement m St Francis hospital. The second opor ntion, performed Thursday, lias weakened him considerably. It is said, however, that lie probably will recover but thai he will be perma nently paralyzed on the loft side. Thursday's operation rcMilled in tho removal of an extensive softened area of the brain over the motor urea of the left side. No tumor wnr found. Tho softeninjr seems to have probably been due either to it dis eased blood vessel, which had been plugged up or Jo external procure of u deeply seated, irremovable tij mor There is no evidence within from blood examination, or chemical ly, of dieafe of the heart or blood vessels, such as might cause thU trouble. If there should be no tumor and he survives this operation, Putnam may live with his loft side paralyzed and there may be no further progress of the trouble. Every physician in San Francisco who could in airy way contribute in what is considered one of the most baffling oases, was present at the operation.

In an inteivicw in the Oregon Journal, Willis Polk, chairman of the Pan-Pacific Exposition architectural commission, pays the following trib ute to Arthur Putnam, the San Fran cisco sculptor, who is lying seriously ill nt a San Francisco hespital: "I consider Arthur Putnam the greatest sculptor since Michael Ah golo," deelnred Mr. Polk. "His ill ness and his probable death are a calamity. If I have anything to do in directing the architectural work of the exposition, I expect to have. Arthur Putnam would have done all Ihe important sculpture for the ex position. "No man since Angelo could do what Putnam Jins done He could take a block of marble and a chisel and without model or drawings produce the statue. He bns a wonderful im agination, marvelous artistic temper ntment. Has Xotnhlc Career. "He was just reaching the ma-, turity of his thought and nbility when laid low and the memory of him ly ing helpless on n hospital bed is more than pathetic." Mr. Polk told of Jiis first meeting with Arthur Putnnm. "Ho wns emerging from the man hole of a sewer and sqemed about to faint," he said. "I helped him out and nssisted in reviving him. Tlint was our first meeting. I snw then he wns no scavenger. Afterwards he worked in a slaughter house that !in might study the anatomy of auimals at first hand.
