LERA EPIDEMIC RAVAGES ITALY CONGESTED CONDITIONS FORCE WAR CIIO Jl THOUSAND CASES A WEE K 30 PER CENT BEING FATAL AND STEADILY INCREASIN6 Population Is Getting so Dense That Room for the Congested Masses Is an Absolute Necessity and Tripoli Offers the Only Solution Besides This War 'Would Serve to Distract the World's Attention From the Cholera Which Is Raging in Italy, and Which sf a Menace to the World. I'MTED FSESS LEASED WISE London, Sept. 27. That a strong connection exists between the chol era conditions In Italy and the ap parent desire of the Italian govern ment to prosecute a war of territorial aggrandizement in Tripoli is the firm belief of diplomats and others here The are in a position to keep abreast of affairs in Italy and the Levant. The cholera situation in Italy Is said to be far more serious than the government is willing to admit, so serious in fact that the Populace are la a violent state of unrest. A war with Turkey, at the present time, would afford a vent for the congest ed conditions on the peninsula that are so dangerous in a time of plague, and would divert the attention-of the world from the plague situation, so demoralizing to business, which the Italian govenunent is endeavoring to conceal. Parts of Tripoli are habitable and desirable to Europeans, and would be of inestimable value to Italy's fast Incivasing population. Cholera Is raging in 39 of the 69 provinces, the most serious affec tions being In the provinces of Leg horn in Tuscany, and Llguiria, in Northern Italy. From various" pri vate sources, Including letters 'to London, and from persons soujourn ing along the Mediterranean, infor mation Is at hand that thousands of cases of plague are being reported every week, 30 per cent being fatal. The advices here are borne out by the medical journal, Klinsiche Zel tung, of Vienna, which declares that 7676 cases were reported during the first ten weeks of the epidemic, and adds that there are at least 50 un mistakable cases in Rome. The government rigid censorship of all press dispatches and of prac tically all other means of dissemin ating reports of the cholera situation is keeping the world practically In ignorance of the true state of affairs. I Are Doing Time Now. Chief of Police Hamilton Is back from Portland, where he went with Rena Slagel, who Is wanted In that ! city as a witness in a case of white slavery. She wa3 arrested the other evening, together with Virgil Jones, and a charge of keeping late hours prefer red against each of them. Each was sentenced to 10 days in jail, and Jones is now doing time.

ITY. . STATESMAN INTIMATES THAT COL. HOFER WAS AGENT FOR THE OREGON ELECTRIC CO., WHICH IS A LIE CUT FROM WHOLE CLOTH. In the Statesman this morning, In a headline, top of column, front page, Is a statement that Col. Hofer was at one time agent for the Oregon Elec tric company. This statement is- ab solutely false. Col. Hofer never whs. is not now, and never expects to be, the agent or the representative of tho Oregon Electric company. The information was no doubt given the Statesman by an ageit of the Oregon Electric for the purpose of belittling and injuring Col. Hoier, and the Statesman printed tho statement with out endeavoring to verify it. It wa only done to injure him and put. him in a false light in connection with the condemnation proceedings against him for right of way through his property. A company that will lie, as the Oregon Klectrlc did, to Til Ford, to get a right of way, and then go Into court to have Its ill-gotten rights maintained, on the ground that its lies should not huve been believed, because the promises It made were against public policy, is capable of anything, even to the hiring Qf a, sec ond edition of AminlaH to assist In getting a right of way, and in lying about those who' property It would take without just compensation. UNITED 1'IESS LUA8ED Willi. 1 Tacoma, Sept. 27 "The cases arising on account of the meeting at : Dreamland rink at Seattle on the evening of August 2', 1'Jll, will not j be further considered by this grand , jury. No Indictments will be re turned." Elmer E. Todd. Free ' speech and a free press are assured In this state, as shown .by the fore going statement Issued by District Attorney Todd today, announcing the defeat of the purpose of Federal Judge Hanford to punish the editors of the Seattle Star, ex-Mayor Fawcett of Tacoma and Seattle men for criti cism of Hanford and for demanding his Impeachment. Photographs were submitted the grand Jury of the effigy of Judge Hanford hanging on a telephone pole 1 In front of tho rink where the mass meeting was held; the speeches of the orators at the meeting were 1 1 mi. x 11 u jiiiui o nuc h,i.cii ctcij bit of evidence againBt the men who were charged by Judge Hanford with "conspiracy to defeat the ends of ! Justice" but the men composing the inquisitorial jury refused to return Indictments. It Is rumored that the district at torney was much embarrassed by grand Jurymen continually asking: film to bring in the franchise of thu Seattle, Ronton & Southern Hallway line in Seattle and the court deci sions on the transfer and five-cent questions that would show what was bax:k of the mass meeting. The fact ' that it wns not produced and that Todd had not allowed any of the defendants to appear before the grand Jury apparently convinced them that there was nothing In the cases. When Informed that the grand Jury had refused to return Indictments A Real Race War, Pine Bluff, Sept. 27. Lee Malpuss, 20, and a son of one of the negro murderers, for whom officers were looking, was shot to death In the Malpass home early today, Preston and Stlol wont to tho home of Charles Malpass, ton miles from Dumas, yesterday, to arrest the negroes on minor charges. The negroes defied tho officers, saying they would never be taken alive. On entering the houso Pres ton was slain, Stiel shooting ProHtons' murderer. Another of tho Malpass family immediately shot Stiel. Deputy Bankston slow him. The body of young Leo Malpass was later discov ered In bayou, his body rid dled with bullets. against lilm and his fellow speakers at the Seattle meeting, former Mayor Fawcett snld: "That's great; It's the best thing I ever heard. Now, 1 always thought this country was free and I liked to sing the Star Spangled Banner. I ain glad to know that I have not been laboring under a misapprehension." The guarded manner of district at torney Todd In making his statement for publication, with his explicit in structions that ho wanted it to go "Just that way" is an" Intimation that the power of the court wtll be fur ther used, If possible, to got indict ments from some future grand Jury. It is Intimated strongly that Todd. finding almost unanimous opposition nmong the jurors, simply threw up his hnnds at the final test and with drew the case. His statement that the case will not be "further consid ered by this grand Jury" is taken to mean that It may be by some later body. A Victory for Right. Soattie, Sept. 27. "We are pre pared to fight this ensn nut tn a. Am. clslve ending," declared Attorner Thomas Horner, one of the men who addressed the antl-Hanford meeting, and who was arrested the next day. "The question of free speech, and . that question alone, was involve'd. No legal twist could make it anything else. We were arrested and put un der heavy ball for exercising nothing more than our plain rights as Ameri can citizens. . , "Even though the case Is dropped now, the results will be far-reaching. The very fact that men can be sub jected to arrest for such a thing is in Itself a serious matter." o Claim They Wvro Made Scapegoats. UNITED l'BEHS LEASED Willi. Portland, Or., Sept. 27.
