ll'NI'l'KI) l'HKSH I.KAHKU WIIIK.
Sofia, Bulgaria, Oct. 22. Disaster
to tho Turkish arms all along their
?.ine of battle, from the Greek frontier
to the Dlack Sen, was officially an
nounced here today. The government
reports doclure that the Bulgarian
troops have pierced the Moslem line
of defenso In a dozen places, Isolating
tho detached forces of the Turks
thioughout the whole territory.
No confirmation of the government
announcement has yet been, received
from Independent source, but If the re
ports are correct and the Bulgarians
have overwhelmed the Turks through
out such a stretch of country, it means
in almost Irreparable Turkish disas
ter, the almost certain fall of Adrlan
ople, tho opening of the way to Con
stantinople and probable great battle
near tho shore of the llosphorus In
which will be decided tho continuance
or fall of Mohammedan dominion in
Kurope.
The reported victories of the Bulga
rians, the absence of reports of any
serious setback to tho Greeks, Servi
ans or Montenegrins, are taken here
lis Indicating that the quick movement
of the Christian allies has caught the
'Turks In a state of unproparedness,
from which It will be difficult to rally.
With their lino of defenso shattered by
the Balkan allies, there la hardly a
doubt that Adrlanople will fall before
an attack tn which it will be Impossi
ble for the Turks to attempt a flanking
movement Before that key to Con
stantinople, the allleB probably will be
alio to mass nearly 100,000 men, and,
while Its defenses are strong, it Is very
Ioubtful If the fortress could be seri
ously defended against such an attack
ing force.

WITH teurs of happiness and sobs of relieved anxiety the mother ot
Nellie Schmidt clasped her daughter Into her nrms and rained
kisses of Joy upon her. Nellie, who Is the champion woman swim
mer of California, had Just safely completed the feat of swimming
around the famous Seal rocks, oft the Cliff House, San Francisco. For those
who do not know this Is considered a dangerous task for even tho most ex
pert of mule swimmers. Miss Schmidt swam the mile ngninst Btrong tides

tance were as follows; Aug. 20, 1011, crossed Golden Gato In record time of
42 minutes; Aug. 11, 1012, crossed San Francisco bay In 3 hours 0 minutes.
Her swim conclusively proves the right of her claim of being the woman speed

New Ycfrk Oct. 22. Both the de
fense and' prosecution In the case
agalnBt Police Lieutenant Charles
Becker, charged with the murder of
Gambler Rosenthal, rested this after
noon. The state called but one wit
ness to rebut the testimony of Jack-
Sulllvan. who was recalled to the stand
for the defense by Justice Goff, after
Attorney Mclntyre, chief counsel for
Becker, had announced earlier In the
day that the defense rested.
Arguments will begin tomorrow. The
caBe will go to the Jury the latter part
of the week.
New York, Oct 22. The sudden an
nouncement of "the defense rests" by
Attorney John F. Mclntyre, chief
counsel for Police Lieutenant Charles
Becker, on trial here for the murder
f Gambler Herman Rosenthal, today,
came as a thunderbolt from a clear
sky to District Attorney Charles S.
Whitman, and Presiding Justice John
W. Goff." It had been expected, al
though Mclntyre opposed the move,
that Becker would take the stand.
Justice Goff's eyes bulged with
amazement. Ho fumbled several type
written sheets lying o-n his desk, and,
turning to Keeker's chief counsel, said:
"Mr. Mclntyre, In Justice to the de
fendant, I desire the case reopened, In
so far as the defense Is concerned. I
desire you to .recall Jack Sullivan,
and have him give further testimony.
I will have him brought to the court
room Immediately."
Astounded, Mclntyre sank back In
his seat, while the sheriff hurried out
to get Sullivan.
Becker and all cf Mclntyre's asso
ciates were anxious for the accused
man to testify. Mclntyre, however, re
alizing that the state was making
elaborate preparation to cross-examine
his client, decided It would be too
risky to allow his client to take the
stand.

APPEAL TO REASOX SPOKE TO
RIG AUDIEXCE OX SOCIALISTIC
IDEAS LAST SIGHT.
Last night at the armory, Fred D.
Warren, editor of the well known So
cialist paper, the Appeal to Reason,
spoke to a large audience.
The speaker dwelt at much length
upon the concentration of wealth,
which he attributed to the present sys
tem of government which he declared
would ultimately result In Its down
fall. He declared that history taught
that the ultimate outcome of the pres
ent condition of affairs would ruin the
government of the United States and
he was in favor of making such chang
es as would prevent such a catas
trophe. Mr. Warren said that the farmer was
the poorest class of American citizens
and laid the cause of tfiis to the fact
that the Jobber and middleman con
sumed the wealth that by rights be
Ici'ged to the producers of wealth, th!
farmers. He claimed that the farmer
and laborer being the creators of all
wealth that they should reap the re
wards of their efforts Instead of It be
ing absorbed by the ndddlemen and
Jobbers, thus giving the farmer only a
mere existence.
Without going Into details as to the
method by which the present evil as
piactlced by the classes Included In
the jobber, he promised that if given
the power the Socialist party would
correct many of the evIlB which, ac
cording to the speaker, are fast sap
ping the life out of the nation.

San Francisco, Oct. 22. "Tom"
Marshall of Indiana he'd rather be
called Tom than governor Democrat
ic candidate for vlco-presldent, Is moro
proud of having the babies of paroled
prisoners whom ho has given another
chance back In the HooBler fltato
named after him than bo Is of the po
litical honor tho people have bestowed
upon him.
Ho said so today, sitting In his room
at tho Palace Hotel here during the
few minutes of leisure before he stood
at the head of a lino nt Democrntlo
headiuarters for a big reception nt
noon.
''The biggest business I havo In
band, thai I have ever devoted myself
to, Is the restoration of men to the
self-reBpect of vhIV they have been
robbed or bluffed out of," said tho In
diana governor. "In my state we try
to restore Hint essential of self-respect
to men who nro down through our
penal and charity policy, and wo have
bud wonderful success.
Rallies Xnineil After Him.
"And the boys who go out and mako
good have been naming their baby
boys after me. I tell you I'm proud of
that. It Is as great an honor as If my
best friends wfre to name their sons
for me."
Marshall does not talk In tho ap
proved political idiom.
'They assaulted me In Indiana for
such sentlmenls at first,'1 he added,
"but. I said that as long as my offi
cial actions aided in restoring men to
ninnhood and self-respect, I was wil
ling to let tho Pharisees of Indiana go
ahead and continue to polish the out
side of their platters. Aftor that they
let up on me."
Governor Marshall's conversation Is
replete with Biblical references and
pointed limitations from tho classics,
with which be Is remarkably familiar.
His homely philosophy Induced tho
Question whether ho ever worked on
a farm.
Too Skinny to Work. "H
'Never did a day's work in my life,"

Well, you can't get very far away from

"The trust Is tho only tiling I know

the making and spending of that kind
of money that Is putting happiness out
