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.

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.

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.

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. FIRE AT BUFORD CAUSES TOTAL LOSS OF $30,000 BIT’oRD.

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.

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.
