Washington, June 15. A sensation
rivaling that which followed President
Wilson's charges of an "insidious lob
by" to defeat the tariff bill was
launched today bv the president hiin
nelf. The chief executive charged that a
combination of business intertsts was
behind an agitation to compel con-
(jress to adjourn without enacting any
legislation in regard to trusts.
Modane, France, June 14. The ser
ious nature of last week 's disorders in
Italy was just beginning to be' learned
here today.
The rising was genuinely revolution
ary in character. Many towns pro
claimed republics. Local republican
committees took charge. The people
were armed and the regular authorities
were ignored, forced to flee and in
some instances killed.
In the larger cities the military and
police were said to be re-establishing
ordor Sunday but in many country vil
lages it was reported the revolutionists
were still in control and that there
would have to be numerous small fights
and probably . much bloodshed before
they were completely suppressed.
The prediction was made that iarge
numbers of those who took part in the
movement would refuse to yield but
would turn bandits and that a serious
period of outlawry would ensue.
Nor, it was asserted by persons famil
iar with the situation, was it likely that
the monarchists triumph at this time
would settle matters permanently. They
said they believed the people were
stirred to a point where there would be
recurrent outbreaks so long as the pres
ent regime continues.
The revolutionists call themselves re
publicans but it was stated that their
program was generally much more
strongly suggestivo of a system of
communism.

Medford, Or., June 10 One hundred
and twenty-five delegates were present
here today at the opening of the ninth
annual convention of the State Bankers

In his opening address, President W.
L. Thompson of Pendleton, declared the
federal reserve law would necessitate
changes in the Oregon banking laws,
advised that the two per cent interest
rate on county funds in Oregon be
changed to one per tent and suggested
an inter-insurance Society among Ore

Mayor Purdon of Medford made a
brief address of welcome. Ralph D,

Business really, ho added, was in a

June 14 (By wireless to San Diego,
Cnl., Juno 15.) The rebels again made
an attack on this city last night and
were repulsed in the bloodiest battle
of the siege. The federal defenders
were, on the alert and mowed down their
enemy with a ruin of machine gun fire.
The rebel loss is not known, but it is
believed to have been extensive. It
was the second night attack of the con
stitutionalists and their defeat was
more costly than that of last Wednes
day. It is expected that the rebel gun
boat Tainpico, now at Topololmmpo,
will come here to sink the Pesquiera,
now in Mazatlah harbor with com for
the starving populace. If it conies, it
may engage the federal gunboat Guer
rero. The rebel batteries keep a con
stant fire on the grain ship.

Redding, Cal., June 15. So far as
could be learned here all but two of the
sightseers on Mount Lassen at tho time
of Sunday morning's eruption were ac
counted for today as having escaped
safely, though a number went througu
hair-raising experiences.
Of the two injured, Lance Graham, a
Mantoa lumber man, was so badly hurt
that according to tho latest definite in
formation h.s death was considered
likely. Ono report was that he hail suc

Semlin, Hungary, June 15. Military
preparations on an important scale are
in progress at Constantinople according
to advices received here todayfrom the
Turkish capital, aud the belief was
general that the sultan looks for a
clash, beginning within the next few
days, with the Greek forces.
It was understood the Turks quite
appreciated that they cannot cope with
Greece by sea but it was said they
intended to make this a land and not
a naval campaign. It was pionted out
that the Balkan war cost them practi
cally all their possessions on the Ocgean
and Adriatic coasts, so that these will
not have to bo defended and it was be
lieved their mines and shore defenses
would make it impossible for Greek
ships to run the Dardanelles and reach
Constantinople.
It was said to be conceded that the
Asia Minor coast will be exposed but
to be argued that aTurKish invasion in
Greece by land can be made so much
more costly to the Greeks than could
the bombardment of Smyrna and the
few other coast towns in Asiatic Turkey
that the Athens government will quick
ly have to come to terms.
The Turks were reported determined
to regain much of what they lost in
their war with the Balkan allies.
