; . i
* HIT AGO, Oct. 23. —Ductile Cameron I
resumed the stand today to tell the]
story of her relations with Jack John - ;
son. the colored heavyweight champion |
pugilist of the world, to the Federal
grand jury. Upon her evidence, the
government expects to secure an indict
ment against the black champion for
alleged violations of the Mann act.
The girl was recovered today front
the hysterical attack which followed
two hours questioning on the stand
yesterday when she defied the jurors
and prosecutor. All traces of bravado
had disappeared today. While it wa.s
said the government did not expect to
Indict Johnson for bringing the Cam
' eron girl to Chicago, her testimony,
with that of other witnesses, was ex
' pected to show he had brought other
' women to Chicago from other states.
The city council passed resolutions
last night denouncing Johnson and
urging the revocation of his license.

• A. F. Knotts, president of the race track
1 association here, declared today he
would seek court aid in removing the j
two companies of militia which have
• camped in the race course on orders of
Governor Marshall to prevent racing
{ and gambling. The track owner re
' fused to state what action he would
! take, but It was said he would seek an
Injunction compelling the withdrawal of
s the troops.
Knotts' defiance to the militia was
. not contained in his threat to get court,
aid. He said he would start th- races
on schedule time today whether the
soldiers were present or not. He de
clared there had been no gambling at
the truck, thaNChicago gamblers were
' not Interested in the association and
' that th- place had been run as a model
race course for lovers of thoroughbreds
and the owners would not submit to the
commands of the “tin soldiers.” as he

50-Mile Fighting Line.
I VIENNA) Oct. 23. Moving forward
from Adrianople in an unexpected ad
vance. 140,000 Turkish soldiers are en
gaged todaV with 120,000 Bulgarians
north and eajtt of that city in the blood
iest battle of the Balkan war.
Dispatches received her throughout
| the day saad •hat the battle of Adriano
i pie probably will be the decisive con
> flic* of >he Balkan troubles.
i Stretched in battle line nearly 50
i miles long between the heights of Ko
; lessel. and the northern suburbs of
■ Adrianople, a terrific struggle is going
i on at every point.
I Late advice • said that the Bulga
! rians w ere being driven back and that
Czar Ferdinand’s army had already
{ log' 7,000 men killed, wounded and
! taken prisoi.et . The Turkish losses
were equally heavy, due to the deadly
artillery tire of *he Bulgarian batteries.
A telegram from Constantinople said
that the Turkish government has re
ceived notification that he entire Ot
toman army at Adrianople was en-
Turned Apparent
Defeat Into Victory.
i Moving from the beleaguered city of
| Adrianople in a brilliant sortie, the
J Turks drove back the Bulgarian lines,
: and, after twelve hours of fighting,
, what had looked several days ag-o like
| inevitable Turkish defeat was turned
Ito apparent victory. But the Rulga
: riana fought fiercely, contending every'
• inch of ground. The Bulgarian bat-
I teries stationed on the towering hills
I fired unceasing volleys into the ranks
iof the Turkish soldiers. The prlnci-
I pal divisions of both armies were
thrown into the fight around Kelesse,
I where the battle raged fiercest.
I Kalimandja and Tundja are reported
jto have been taken by the Turks at
| the point of the bayonet.
While the telegrams received here in
dicated that the Turks were having no
difficulty in routing the Burgarians, ex
perts here did not regard the messages
as conclusive and expressed belief that
it might be 48 hours before the news of
the battle would be known.
It was pointed out that Bulgarian re
treat may not have been forced—the
Bulgarian generals may have decided to
occupy strategic points in their rear.
British Fleet

LONDON, Oct. 23.—The third Medi
terranean squadron of the British fleet,
which had been urn J-r orders to leave

opments in the Balkan war. The fleet

federal comui&mler in chief, and the in
j surgent leader. Gt neral Diaz, expired at
! I 6 o’clock this morning, there was no in-
I I dication at that hour that the govern
' j ment leader would attack Vera Cruz.
i The federate made no move, although
i
• the rebel artillery was being planted on
j the heights skirting the western side of
J the city.
: Agents of General Diaz, who had ap
! proached Beltram with overtures to
i
i join the rebel cause, reported to their
! chief today and immediately afterward
reports were circulated that Beltrain
had renounced his allegiance to the Ma
dero government and was ready to Join
the march on Mexico City.
Loyalty of many of the 1.500 troops
• under Eeltram was in question, while
the federal commander realized that he
could not depend upon the Mexican war
■ ships in the harbor to co-operate if a
general attack on this city was started.
Following the thirty sailors who de
serted and swam ashore and joined
Diaz last night, twenty others landed
today and joined the rebels.
6,000 Opposing Troops.
The troops under the opposing gen
erals in and outside of Vera Cruz ag
gregate about fi,ooo men. The boats in
the harbor have on board more than
5,000 foreign refugees and 10.000 MeX'
icans. The United States cruiser Des
Moines is lying about 500 yards off the
United States consulate, ready for any
eventuality.
William C. Canada, the United States
i consul here, has requested all American
refugees to make an inventory of all the
property they left in the city.
, These lists will be turned over to
General Diaz, who has offered to in
demnify all losses.
Inclement weather is adding to the
discomfort of the refugees. A drizzle
fell yesterday and throughout the night
and became a downpour today. Rebels
and refugees alike were drenched. The
soldiers kept to their tents or whatever
• else offerd sheltr.

Nurses in the nurses’ home at Wes
ley Memorial hospital are all aflutter
today over the night prowling of a
mysterious man who seems very much
inclined to pay them a late call, but
whe. rhey hope, has changed his mind
as the result of three shots fired at him
early this morning.
The prowler has been noticed around
the home f or the past few nights, peer,
i ing into the home as he walked stealth
ilj about it. He didn't get into the
home, but he did succeed in scaring the
white-capped ministers to the suffer-
I Ing.
A neighbor san the man In the early
hours today and fired several shots at
him. He doesn’t know whether he hit
him or not, hut the man vanished —the
nurses' hope for good. The police have
been notified and will await his re
turn.
MAIL CLERK ORATOR
ROUTS PROSECUTORS
WITH HIS ORATION
The silver tongue and oratorical man
ners of Whitfield R. Boyd, once a mail
clerk on the Atlanta Birmingham and

United States court. For the third
time the same negro is being tried for
stealing from registered packages.
Twice the government prosecutor*
have finished their case and rested, se
cure in the knowledge that a perfect
case had been made against the negro.
Twice he has risen and caused an ac
quittal with bis eloquence.
Boyd is unruffled today, apparently
confident that no matter what the jury
may do beforehand his own limpid
streams of touching words will change
their hearts to putty and cause them to
believe him innocent.

GAMP IN FRENZY,
THEORY OF SUITE
Dorsey Tries to Prove Police
man Was Crazed by Liquor
When He Shot Belding.
That .1. W. Camp shot and killed his
fellow officer, S. A. Belding, while In
a frenzy superinduced by the excessive
use of liquor, will be the theory upon
which the state will proceed in the
prosecution of the policeman now on
trial for his life in criminal division of
superior court.
Although Solicitor Dorsey has re
mained silent ns to the tack the prose
cution will take to met the self-defense
arguments advanced by his opponents,
testimony given today proved that the
state would build its case upon the
theory that ''amp. heated by liquor,
shot Belding during a trivial quarrel.
The trial which began at 1:30 o’clock
yesterday afternoon was resumed at 9
o’clock this morning. Police officers,
witnesses for the state, held the stand
during the early hours. The jury wise
drawn late yesterday afternoon after
58 veniremen ha<s been examined.
The contest over the selection of the
jury was waged as vigorously by the
state as by the defense, and seventeen
veniremen were excused at once by the
solicitor. Every one of the seventeen
went on record before the court as be
ing opposed to capital punishment. Per
haps never before tn Fulton superior
court have as many veniremen, drawn
on a single case, told the court that
they could not sentence a man to death.
Dr. S. H Green, city physician, was
the first witness. He finished his tes
timony before court adjourned at 5
o’clock yesterday. Police Chief Reav
ers then took the stand and resumed his
testimony this morning.
The court room was filled with spec
tators. Scores of witnesses, who will
be called to the stand by the defense
to testify to ''amp’s character, were
on hand, most of them summoned from
Fayette and Campbell counties.

JILTED TESTIFIES TO
DYNAMITERS’ PLOTS
INDIANAPOLIS, IND.. Oct. 23—Mary
Dye, of Pittsburg, stenographer and form
er fiancee of J McNamara, whom he
is said to have jilted, testified in the dyna
mite conspiracy cnee in Federal court here
that J .1 McNamara, Defendants
Frank C. Webb, of New York; H. 8. Hosk
in. <>f Detroit, and E. A. Clancy, of San
Fra cisco, met together at the ironwork
ers' headquarters here and juggle.! their
respective financial reports, ordering her,
Marx Dye, to cut out certain items of
large amounts and transfer them to the
unitemized •'emergency fund," of which
no accounting was made. Miss Dye's is .
first direct evidence that has been given
against any of the defendants.
The government also played a
prize card against these defendants. The
government showed, by the evidence of
Miss I'ye, tha' these men, as members
of the Ironworkers International executive
board in 1.909, turned over to J. J. Mc-
Namara by check SI,OOO from the funds
which never was accounted for on th* or
ganization books.
The government showed further by a
♦•ries of checks, of which no record ever
was made, that at various times Cooley.
Clancy, Ryan, Webb. Butler and Young
received "advances" from this money
from .1. .1 McNamara, of which no ac
counting ever xx a made.
Absolutely no record of these check
transactions is found in the Ironworkers'
records.
