Evldonco today Is piling up that Groat Britain Is gctthiB ready to grab Egypt. The latest step In this direction is n stern warning to the khcdlvo that Kgypt must bo absolutely neutral In tho war between Italy and Turkey, despite the fact that the country Is nominally In Turkish territory. Tho warning was specific, Lord Kitchener, tho British consul general. Informing tho khcdlvo that England will not tolerate any connlvaaco by the Egyp tian authorities In tho smuggling of arms, ammunition or supplies to tho Turkish forces Irf 'Trtpolf,'"ie1t "alone the transportation of troops across the country. Tho Egyptian Nationalists aro ma king vigorous protests, but without avail. They contend that Ekypt, as a part of tho Turkish empire, not withstanding the sovereignty of England, has an unquestioned right not only to assist Turkey by permit ting tho transportation ot supplies, but also by actually furnishing rein forcoments. Despite tho enforced promise from tho khcdlvo that Egyptlwlll remain neutral, Kitchcuer Is taking no chances. The result is that, although professedly neutral herself, Great Britain Is actually lending support to Italy. All along tho coat, from Solium to" Alexandria, the coast guard has boon reinforced hy soldiers nnd police to prevent the smuggling of supplier The western land frontier is being patrolled by swift camel corps and Bedouin trackers, and n detnehmont of British mounted troops is watch ing the African side of the Suor. canal to prevent the landing of contraband of war. So vigilant is the surveil lance that a Turkish officer making his way unaccompanied from lloirut to Tripoli to join his cpmmnud there wns nrrosted on Egyptian soil and turned hack. Commenting upon this incident, the Cniro corrosondent of the London Tiin.cs, whoso dispatches nro Usually inspired, wires signiflenntly: "It is essontial that tho Egyptian government bhould tuko tho strictest precautions to maintain neutrality, sinco utiy infraction of it might ovon tunlly cost Egypt dearly." Hut Egypt is a largo country. Arms and men luivo been slipping through, although the khedivo can truthfully say that ho hud no knowledge of them. Authentic information conios from Tripoli thut tiio Turkish troops tiro hoing regulnrly supplied, mid that they hnvo sufficient arms and ammu nition on hand to prosecute tho war for months, - MEDFORD SPLENDID HOST EBOII BELLS ARE KEPT BUSY BYW.A.MARVIN Now Wife Number Two Swears ts Complaint Charging Him With Non Support of Child May Bring Charge of Bigamy Also. WIFE NUMBER ONE GOT DIVORCE, SISTER WED HIM Later, Believing Second Marriage Was Null and Void, He Mar ried Wife Number Three. A warrant wn issued hy Justice of tho Peace (Horn O. Taylor Tues day morning for the urnM of W. A. Marvin, a. prominent mining man of Gold Hill, for failure to contribute to the support of his child. A complaint ohnrging hignniy will prohahly fol low. Complaint was mnde hy Lorctto Marvin, a woman puqortiiig to he ' his wife. Marvin's voyage on the matrimonial sen hns been n stormy one, accord ing to tho authorities who are work ing rfn the case. It begun early in 1000 when he married Murcclli Mar vin, his first wife. With her ho is snid.tp l-cJu'eJJraimUysfQX. scleral months. Her lister, Loretlo, lived wiih thorn. Finnlly Mrs. Marvin, the first, went east for n visit and left Marvin n'nd her sister in their home. On her return she states that she found Loretto and Mnrvin living to gether. She immediately applied for a divorce, which wns granted on March 10, 1910, nt Oregon City. On March 22, 1910, Man-in married the sistor Loretto nnd a. short lime nftcr wnrd she gave birth to a child. A few months later they separated. Mnrvin then came to Gold Hill. There ho mot Gwendolyn Stickler, u beautiful young girl, and nftcr con sulting a lawyer ut Portland, returned to Gold Hill and married her. Mar vin maintains that as he had fought tho ease nt Oregon City that his wedding with Loretto wns null and void ns it occurred without the timo specified hy law, of six months, hav ing ehived. , In tho meantime Loretto came to southern Oregon, and demanded that Marvin support her child. Tho mat ter wns then brought to tho atten tion of the local authorities, but owing to the health of Mrs. Marvin, the third, tho mattor was allowed lo lio dormant until this timo. Some time ago a diild was born to Mnrwn and his third wife. A complaint was sworn to boforo Jttstico of the Ponce Taylor Tuesday morning charging non-support of tho child. Mnrvin will ho nrresled and prosecuted on this ohnrgo at onco. In tho meantime the authorities will en deavor to determine whether Marvin is guilty of bigamy or not, which rests on the muttor of his niarriugo to Loretto a few days after halng divorced from wifo number one. Marvin has resided at Gold Hill for some timo and hns been identi fied with sovornl different milling activities in that section. (Eugene Rogistor.)
