Italy and Turkey for the posession
of Tripoli was formally declared to
day. The call to arms came immediate
ly after Turkey's reply to the Italian
ultimatum had been presented to the
Italian government by the Turkish
ambassador. In less than an hour
after Turkey's refusal to allow the
Italian occupation of Tripoli had
been finally made known, the Turk
ish ambassador at Rome was handed

Constantinople had left his post, and
orders were being flashed by wire

HE INDORSES
THE ACTION OF
GRAND JURY
Seattle, Sept. 29. Processor J.
Allen Smith, of the State University,
also noted author, Issued a statement
today, in which he emphatically en
dorsed the action of the federal grand
Jury In refusing to Indict the Seattle
editors and citizens who addressed
the protest meeting against Feder
al Judge Hanford.
Prof. Smith said:
"The refusal of the grand Jury to
Indict the men who criticised a fed
eral Judge, Is merely what was to be
expected. If it be a crime to make
an organized protest against a Judge
and advocate his impeachment, the
: people would be powerless to in
jvoke the impeachment provision in
'the constitution against him. Any
such view of the matter would con
cede to the court an Independence of
control by the people utterly repug
nant to the Ideas of democracy."

BRING SUITS
TO RECOVER
ON THE BONDS
When the city of Woodburn yester
day afternoon commenced a suit In
the circuit court against J- P. Mce
han to collect a $1,000 bond given as
a guarantee that he would conduct a
saloon' in the town ac"cording to law,
the fight being waged on the Bache
lor Club bobbed up again in the
courts, and in a new phase.
It Is alleged in the complaint that
J. P. Meehan obtained a license to
sell liquor in Woodburn on January'
4, 1910, and that he gave a bond with
W, H. Allenian and Z. T. Bogard as
sureties. He violated its terms, it is
alleged, by selling liquor to a minor
by the name of Lester "Kendall, and
also In conducting gambling games.
Meehan was one of the officers of
the Bachelors' club and ran it- Suits
were commenced in the circuit court
some time ago to put it out of exist
ence on the ground that Woodburn is
a dry town and Judge Galloway de
cided against the city and in favor
of the club. An appeal was taken by
the city and it is now pending before
the supreme court.

District Attorney McXary an

antee .that he would conduct an or
derly house In the sale of liquor
Tha' suit will be brought under the
same section of the law as that
brought against Meehan. Jetty was
arrested several weeks ago by Dep
uty Sheriffs Needham and Henry
Smith for selling liquor on Sunday.
The officers had heard much com
plaint relative to him and on Sunday
afternoon entered his place of busi
ness and after purchasing a drink
each, placed him under arrest.

London, Sept. 29. Dismemberment
of the Ottoman empire and a. final

mats here tonight to be the almost

Turkish province of Treblzond until

Seated between , Senator Cum-

president was Introduced by
Lafayette Young, Jr., who took
occasion to compliment the pres.
ldent's courage in vetoing the
tariff bills.
. "I am glad to know," said
President Taft, "that it is not
true that Iowa is in a state of
constant ebulition, and I am
glad to find here these elements
which, when mixed, are sup-
posed to Induce dangerous pollt-

THE GOVERNOR
WILL NOT CALL
EXTRA SESSION
Assigning as his reason the lack of
a general demand, and asserting that
It would be but the opeiing of tbe
gates for extravagant appropriations,
G6vernor West today announced that
he would not call a special session of
the legislature for the consideration
of good roads legislation.
When pressed by the good roads
people some time ago, the governor
stated that he would call a special
session of the legislature provided
the people demanded It. Since then
there has been no demand made for
It, but, on the contrary a number of
protests made some even coming
from the good roads people them
selves. In view of that, and the further
fact that it would mean extravagant
appropriations, and the result, prob
ably, no Intelligent legislation on the
subject, he decided to nftt call the
session.
Use Initiative.
The governor Is a believer and ad
vocate of good roads, and In discuss
ing the question, stated that he be
llrived that It should bo submitted to
the people by tile Initiative. A good
ronds committee has a'ready framed
a bill, which seems to meet with gen
eral approbation, and tills bill will
no doubt be submitted lo the people
at the next general election for their
