DAYOFCRISESIN'
BALKANSBROIL
Anniversary of Bulgarian Inde
pendence Expected to Bring
Declaration of War.
VIENNA, Oct. 5. -This is the day of
crises in the Balkan situation. Aus- :
trfan diplomats anxiously awaited news
from Bulgaria that they predicted
would determine peace or war between
the allied kingdoms and the Moslem
empire. The anniversary of Bulgarian
Independence was celebrated at Sofia
today and fears were openly expressed
here that Czar Ferdinand and his ad
visers would use the occasion to pro
claim war on Turkey, appealing to the
patriotic spirit of the Bulgarians.
One diplomat thus summed up the
sit nation today
"If actual war Is not proclaimed by
night we can itope for the best. Even
if war is declared there will still be a
chance, but a slight one. The powers
may have Influence enough to prevent
hostilities if they act In unison.”
Austrian railway officials declare war
is absolutely certain and all shipments
for Servla and Turkey that come In
Switzerland were held up at the Aus
tro-Swlss border today.
Turkish People
Clamor for War
CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 5 Frac
tical confirmation of the reports that
Bulgarian troops have crossed the
Turkish frontier were secured here to
day. The war ministry announced that
there had been skirmishes between Bul
gars and Turks on Turkish territory
There was no information available,
however, that the main Bulgarian army
had moved into Turkey
Grand Vizier Ghazi Pacha declared
that the Ottoman government would do
everything compatible with dignity to
avert war, although he declared that
Turkish outposts had also reported the
invasion of Turkish territory by Greek
and Servian troops, and that It would
be necessary for the government to
maintain Its prestige by force of arms
if these reports wore true
Although the grand vizier said that
conservatives in the government are
opposed to the Young Turks' demand
for Immediate declaration of war, the
spirit of the people must be reckoned
with and the populace Is almost as a
unit in calling for war.
A remarkable feature of the public
demonstrations here is the great num
ber of women who take part in them.
Hitherto women have remained in the
background when affairs of moment
were tn the balance In the Turkish cap
ital, but in this Instance they are
moved either by patriotism or the
twentieth century spirit of e unrest.
The Turkish government is declared
to be in a position to carry on hostili
ties on an extensive plane. The war
with Italy cost but a fraction of the
money it has cost Italy because the
Turkish government was unable to ex
pand its operations beyond Tripoli.
The Turkish war chest |s said to be so
well filled that a loan is not needed.
But even If money were needed, ft Is
expected that a large indemnity fund
from Italy would be forthcoming with
in a very short time.
Hamos Proclaims
Its Independence
FARIS, Oct. 7 The Island of Ha
mos today proclaimed Its Independence
of Turkey and tho establishment of a
republic, according to a telegram re
ceived here by the Servian legation.
Hamos is off the west const of Asia
Minor and has a population of about
555,000. Most of these are Greeks, but
the island has always paid an annual
tribute to Turkey and the governing
prince has been selected by the sultan
since 1832

State Troopers Bring Back Ne
groes Sentenced to Hang for
Slaying White Woman.
The four companies of picked na
tional guardsmen who have been in
Cumming for the past three days are
back In Atlanta today and the prison
ers they had been guarding from possi
ble mob violence are in the Fulton
Tower.
The militia boys we e tired, footsore
and dirty, but they were happy in the
knowledge that they had been com
mended warmly, not only by Judge
Newt Morris, of the Blue Ridge, but
also by the law-abiding citizens of
Cumming who wished to avoid repeti
tion of the scenes several weeks ago
when a negro was lynched.
After being on guard constantly from
the time they left Atlanta until their
return, the soldiers were glad to throw
down their guns and blhnket rolls and
once more don civilian clothes. In
Cumming they were not allowed to
mingle with the residents at all. Regu
lar military rules were observed, and
the men proved efficient and ready so
real warfare at any time.
Men with drawn bayonets and loaded
guns guarded the cells in which the
prisoners were kept and even in the
court room the guard was maintained.
A cordon was established about the
court house and through this no person
not provided with a pass was allowed
to come No trouble of any kind was
raised between the troops and the citi
zens. though it Is said that the large
number alone overawed the mountain
people and that a single company would
not have been sufficient to avert trou
ble.
Ernest Knox, one of the negroes w ho
was sentenced to hang on October 25.
begged the troops to give him an op
portunity to run so that he might bo
shot and killed, but Oscar Daniel, the
other convicted negro, showed more
concern for his life Both will hang on
the same day.
Tony Howell, charged with attempt
ed assault, was not brought to trial be
cause of the absence of a number of
colored witnesses who had hidden out
and could not be found. He was re
turned to the Tower and will be tiled
at a later date. The negress, Jane
Daniel, will be released today, as the
evidence showed that she was forced to
be a witness to the assault. Her evi
dence convicted her brother and Knox

NIIKED ASPHALT
Natural asphalt will not be used by
the county commission in the ptoposed
Peachtree road paving. Difference of
opinion among board members as to
the price and quality of the natural
products as quoted by the .Barber As
phalt Company and tho Internationa!
Asphalt Company caused the rejection
of both bids by the commission today.
The paving will be put down in the
mixed method with artificial asphalt
furnished by the Standard Oil Com
pany at $21.60 a ton as opposed to the
$25.50 quoted by the Intel national com
pany for cubanal asphalt and S3B a ton
quoted by the Barber company.
Work on the Peachtree paving will
be begun at once. The plan for the
paving adopted by the commission con
templates an asphalt road on both sid -s
of the street car tracks. The eighteen
foot strip occupied by the tracks will
be put down in oil macadam. The pro
posed extension is tw;o and one-half
miles long, from Buckhead to the coun
ty line.

SLAIN IN BATTLE
Six Others Are Wounded in
Capture of Rebel Strong
hold in Nicaragua.
WASHINGTON. Oct. s.—That the
long expected battle between American
marines and Nicaraguan rebels was
fought yesterday at Barranca hill was
the information received at the state
department today in a cablegram from
Minister Weitzel, at Managua.
This stated that American marines
charged up Barranca hill and dislodged
the forces of General Zeledon, the rebel
leader, which were intrenched at that
point.
The minister reported that several
American marines were killed and that
General Zeledon had been fatally'
wounded. The battle lasted for 37
minutes and was fiercely fought.
An earlier dispatch received by Min
ister Castrillo, of Nicaragua, from the
minister of foreign affairs at Managua,
stated that four American marineshad
b?en killed and six wounded in the
fighting.
Barranca hill is located near the
tow n of Coyotepa, which was afterward
occupied by the American forces.
Rebels Ordered to Vacate.
Previous dispatches to the- state de
partment said that the American com
mander in Nicaiagua. Admiral South
erland. had given General Zeledon 24
hours’ notice to vacate Barranca hill
and allow the passage of the American
forces. The time limit of this ulti
matum expired at 10 a. tn. yesterday,
but nothing had been heard as to the
outcome until the receipt of today's
dis-patches.
A later cablegram to the Nicaraguan
legation here says that 100 Nicaraguan
government troops were killed and 200
wounded.
General Zeledon was fatally wounded
and captured eight miles from Masaya,
while retreating from Barranca hill,
and died shot tly afterward.
Rapid Fire Guns Effective.
The use of rapid fire guns on both
sides of the hili is supposed to have
done fearful execution among the reb
els at the top. According to the re
ports received, the marines opened up
yvlth their rapid fire guns for fifteen
minutes and during that time silenced
the fire of the rebels.
Five hundred men were stationed on
one side and 400 opposite them. The
reports state that the marines soon got
the range of the intrenchments and
swept the hill with a terrific cross fire.
Thera was no opposition of a serious
nature when the charge up the hill was
begun.

TETZLfW
OF GRANO POIZE
Leads Almost From the Start,
But Meets Accident in the
Thirty-first Lap.
Continued From Page One,
where thousands of people were massed
and the car narrowly avoided running
into the spectators.
In the eleventh lap Tetziaff lost his
lead, stopping to change a tire He
yvas delayed 19 seconds. Bragg toon
the lead, with DePalma second and the
Los Angeles driver starting again > n
third place.
Bergdoll, racing down the back
stretch in the eleventh lap, lost control
of his car for a moment. It swerved
from the course and ran on the turf
alongside the track. After the strugg',
he got the machine back on the road
way and went on without slackening
hts pacs. U)(
In the fourteenth lap Tetziaff took
the lead again. He passed Bragg in a
wild sprint down the home stretch.
Tetzlaff’s second lead was held only
a short time. Tire trouble forced him
to the pit. While he changed a rear
tire the mechanician filled the gasoline
tank and poured oil over the bearings
The stop took 2 minutes and 22 seo.
onds. As they started again Bragg in
his big red Fiat, shot past them.
Horan, in a Benz, stopped for a tire
change as Tetziaff started.
Hughie Hughes, in his yellow Mer
eer, came to grief in the fifteenth lap.
A rear wheel came off and the car was
sent staggering out Into the corn fields.
It ploughed along for several rods be
fore the driver could bring it to a stop
Neither Hughes nor the mechanician,
Ed Pullen, were severely injured, al
though they were pretty badly shaken
up. They jumped from the machine,
put on a new wheel, got the ear on the
track and started again.
In the seventeenth lap Bragg was
leading by 1 minute and 39 seconds
Hughes went out of the race in the
f*eventeenth lap. He broke a gas tine
anc? could make no repairs.
Tire Trouble
Puts Bragg Third.
Tire trouble bothered Bragg at the
end of the twenty-second lap. Tetz
iaff and DePalma passed him. and when
Bragg got away again after 3 minutes
and 59 seconds he was trundling along
in third place.
At the end of the twenty-third lap
DePalma was tunning five seconds
ahead of Tetziaff, with Bragg third
Then Tetziaff got to the front again
DePalma was forced to stop at the pits
for a new tire, gasoline and water. H?
was unable to get away for two min
utes and nine seconds.
Oldfield, who had had tire bicubic all
day, stopped for further changes In the
twenty-second lap. He began creeping
up in the twenty-seventh lap.
