CHOLERA HAS APPEARED AMONG WOUNDED TURKS Situation in Constantinople Is Growing Steadily Worse as Allies Continue Siege. CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. B.—Tur key will continue the war. This deci sion was reached by the ministerial council today after a long- meeting at which the future operations were thor oughly canvassed. "We will continue the war until our forces are annihilated,” was the state ment made after the meeting. A ma jority of the council was in favor of continuing hostilities. Turkey thus rejects the mandate of the powers that she must seek peace directly from the Balkan allies. The Turkish government is willing to rest its fate with Europe, but it is not will ing to enter into humiliating negotia tions with the Balkan federation. Cholera Breaks oAmong Wounded. Cholera has broken out among the wounded Turkish soldiers brought here from the front. This has greatly increased the peril of tli?’ cYty for there is a woeful lack of medical supplies, nurses and doctors. The government may be compelled to resort to conscription to secure enough nurses to attend to the wounded. There are over 35,000 wounded Turk ish soldiers here and hundreds of others are arriving daily. All the wounded in the fighting around the Chatalja fort are being brought into the city as rapidly as the traffic* facilities admit. Fleeing Turkish soldiers are reported to have burned the village of Silivri, on the coast of the Sea of Marmora, after massacring all the inhabitants. The Turks are plundering the country, seiz ing all the food and live stock they can find and leaving a trail of complete desolation and death behind them. Assault Continues On Constantinople SOFIA. Nov. B.—Fighting is still go ‘ng on at the gates of Constantinople. Bulgarian government officials an nounced that dispatches arriving from the front today stated that the Turkish forts at Chatalja are being subjected to a heavy bombardment from the Bul garian batteries. A portion of them are reported to have been captured. rhe Bulgarian army south of Adri anople has been reinforced by 10,000 eservlsts, who left Stara Zagora on Tuesday. Lteneral Petroff, commander of the Bulgarian center, is on the firing line and is personally directing the attack upon tire Turkish forts. Czar Ferdi nand s Bulgarian army has now occu pied practically all of the available Heights nortli of Chatalja.

B.—From election returns available today, it will require the services of an expert ac countant and-a, soothsayer to determine whether Theodore Roosevelt or Wood row Wilson carried California.

Nov. 8 —Today’s figures on the strergth of the Demo crats and Republicans on joint ballot in the legislature, which must choose a governor and a United States senator at Its meeting in January, are still open to doubt. Republican claims of a working majority are plainly shown to be exaggerated, as men are claimed as Republicans in several districts who are Democrats. The Democrats still claim to dominate the situation by a very narrow margin. <>n the other hand, the Progressives say they will have the balance of power in tile final line-up.

Many Maids Have Asked Avia trix to Teach Them Art of Flying Through Space. Atlanta girls are besieging Mrs. Cal braith Rodgers, who is planning to start a school of aviation here, with requests that they be taught to fly. ”1 have never seen so many young women ready and anxious to try their hands on aeroplanes as right here," said Mrs. Rodgers today. “Since I an nounced I was planning to open an aviation school I have had many appli cations and most of them have been from girls. “Some, of course, are simply prompt ed by a desire to feel the thrill of an air ride once and then are ready to come back to earth, but most of them are seriously desirous of becoming pro fessional aviators, “I know no reason why women should not take to the air game," she contin ued. "They have proved as housewives that the sex can attend to minor de tails that a man will overlook and that means success in aviation. Then they are not as prone to take the desperate chances that have resulted in death for so many bfrdmen. “Many women have already ,attained remarkable success as flyers.

PIE MEN ‘GIVE’ ANDREWS VIENNA. SMITH. PARIS. TO SA VE WILSON BOTHER Senator Hoke Smith is staying in Washington and avoiding the bushels of office-seekers’ mall which is flooding his office; Congressman William Schley Howard, confined to his bed by a cold, has the counterpane covered with ap plications from the faithful of the Fifth district, and the coterie of Woodrow Wilson men who claim credit for mak ing Georgia go Democratic already have fixed up a slate to save President Wilson trouble a nd'-have named J. R. Smith for minister to France and Colo nel Walter P. Andrews for minister to Austria. Not satisfied with picking these two plums, they have chosen Atlanta men for everything in sight, from collector of customs down to elevator operator, and are preparing to send emissaries to Princeton at once. This much of the plans of the rock ribbed original Wllsonians of Atlanta came to light today when one of them exhibited a list—a purely tentative list, of course—of the pickings they Intended to ask from the first president who ever practiced law in Atlanta. And they really have decided to urge “Our Bob" Smith to fill the embassy at Paris, where the styles come from, and Wal ter Andrews for the post at Vienna, home of the Merry Widow and the well known hot roll. Now, there are two senators In Geor gia and twelve congressmen, and only one each comes from Atlanta or there abouts. So it is rather probable that one senator who Ilves in Macon and eleven representatives who reside here and there about the boulders, the red clay and the wiregrass, will file objec tions against Atlanta making up its slate so early in the game and expect ing to cop everything which ijas a sal ary or perquisites attached. When Hoke Smith read in the Atlanta papers that he was to be chief dis penser of the patronaze, beginning next March, he promptly decided not to come home until after the next session of congress, anil to say he would be exiivinely busy in Washington pend- ing that occasion. But there is a va cant room in the suite of Peters build ing offices occupied by the senator’s firm, and into that room for the past three days the porters have been lug ging heavy bags of mail. Most of these letters begin “Dear Senator—l write to apply for,” and continue along that line. William Schley Howard’s mail isn’t quite so heavy, as he represents only one district, so the center table, the piano and one side of the bed in which he is reposing at his country home is sufficient to accommodate the letters of congratulation, adulation and-—well, everything but hesitation. But the door bell rings a perpetual ragtime of call ers. Mr. Howard said today that he feared he would hardly have enough to go around, though lie would do the best he could. “Seriously speaking,” he said, “I do not know what policy the president will adopt in selecting suitable persons for vacant positions. If I should have any say in the nominations for appoint ments, I shall keep in mind solely the efficiency of the person applying, the wishes of the persons who are to be served by the applicant, and the re flection of credit upon the appointing power. “I do not expect to have much to say about the appointments, as there are others who probably will deservedly be consulted. My only interest will be in seeing that my constituents get com petent. honest and faithful servants, and I do not anticipate that any other kind of persons will make application.” COX COLLEGE HEAD IN PUL p| T OF FIRST BAPTIST Dr. John F.

HEALTH BOARD DEFIES WOODWARD: ORDERS CHEMATORYDESTRm Workmen Begin Tearing Down Huge Smokestack, Making Destruction of Plant Inevitable, While Opponents of Illegal Contract Rage. “Something Rotten,” Declares Van Dyke—Plan to Frustrate Mayor-Elect’s Investigation Charged While His Foes Declare Power Com pany Is Backing Fight. Evading the legal machinery of the city government, workmen prepared today to demolish the old crematory, under orders from the hoard of health. Before the sun sets it is expected that the garbage plant which James G. Woodward, mayoralty nominee, has done all in his power to save, will be a mass of ruins. Technically, the board of health has ordered the 175-foot steel smokestack- torn down on account of the danger of its falling. City Attorney James L. Mayson has ruled that the board not only has the right to remove this stack, but that it is its duty. The stack weighs 83 tons, and when it falls all know that all that will be left of the crematory will be a mass of scrap iron and rubbish. Ardent Woodward supporters are indignant at this turn of af fairs. By the motion of Aiderman A. 11. Van Dyke, a contract to tear down the old crematory was held up for two weeks by the al dermanic board yesterday afternoon. They don’t know what to do now. \ —— “Something’s Rotten,” Says Van Dyke. Aiderman Van Dyke declared today that there was “something rotten” in that $276,000 contract with the Destructor Company, of New York, for a new garbage dis posal plant. Mr. Woodward at tacked the contract as illegal be cause it appropriates future in come. Aiderman Van Dyke added to this assertion by stating that the company would make SIOO,OOO too much profit on the plant. Frank Hammond, whom, it is gen erally conceded, Mr. Woodward will name as his executive secretary, as serted that the move to raze the old crematory-"is merely to spite Mr. Wood ward." “He has gone North to study garbage disposal systems, and requested, as a courtesy, that the city officials delay tearing down the old crematory until he returned,” he said. “His observa tions will determine his attitude to ward the new plant which is to be built on the site of the old plant. It Is an official Insult to tear down this old plant, leaving the city absolutely with out any crejnatory, before he returns. “Dr. Gilbert stated in an elevator in the Atlanta National Bank building Monday that everything was fixed to 'knife' Mr. Woodward. “When they tear down this old plant and begin to dump all the garbage around the city, I have information that injunction suits will be filed against the city by many citizens." Plan To Rush Work On the New Plant. The board of health has an appro priation of SI,OOO to excavate for the new crematory. As soon as the ola one Is wrecked, Dr. W. L. Gilbert said today that work would begin to build the new plant. But Mr. Woodward will have his in ning when he takes his seat as mayor. He has informed members of council that he would not sign the $75,000 check as a payment on the plant next year. Council has provided for a $50,000 pay ment this year. Woodward’s Foes Accuse Power Company, The Destructor Company has given a bond of $375,000 that it will carry out the contract. This also provides for a SIOO,OOO electric power plant in connec tion with the crematory if council cares to build this plant when the crematory Is completed. It has been charged by Councilman Aldine Chambers and others that som of the opposition to the new crematory came from stockholders of the Geor gia Railway and Power Company, who did not want to see the city build an electric plant. Mr. Woodward declared that the bona of the Destructor Cempany was worth, less because it was based on an illegal contract. Mayson Brands Contract Illegal. City Attorney James L. Mayson has backed up Mr. Woodward’s statement that the contract for the new plant is illegal. In answer to a direct quettion at the meeting of the aldermanic board | yesterday afternoon he said he had never advised that the cuuncil of one HOME EDITION 2 CENTS EVERYWHERE P^ R N E ° MASKED BANDITS RIFLE MAIL GAR Booty Secured in L. & N. Hold-Up in Alabama Said To Be Near $40,000. MONTGOMERY, ALA., Nov. B—South* bound Louisville and Nashville passenger train No. 7 was held up and the mall car robbed by two masked bandits at Blount Springs, Ala., today, according to reports made to Postoffice Inspector Brannon when the mail clerks, James M. Chamber lain and C. A. Hoover, of Nashville, reached here today. The robbers, it is reported, secured between $30,000 and $40,000 from regis tered pouches. After rifling the pouches and securing a gold watch from Clerk Hoover and about $5 in cash from Clerk Chamberlain, the robbers left the train at Boyles, six miles north of Birmingham. They refused to accept an Ingersoll watch worn by Chamberlain. According to the clerks the bandits were evidently amateurs as they over looked many valuable articles, apparently looking only for money. It is not known exactly how much they secured. They ripped open a registered pouch and a reg istered package Jacket, scattering the contents on the floor. They left lying on the floor several thousand dollars worth of railroad stock coupons and seemed dis gusted In tinding no more cash. • The robbers are believed to have board ed the train secretly at .ount Springs. They made their presence known in the mall car immediately after the train pulled out of the station. They at first asked for something to eat, but quickly de manded money and covered the clerks with revolvers. Before leaving the train they tied the,clerks to a table in the car. Authorities at Birmingham and Mont gomery are at work on the case. year could legally appropriate the In come of another year. ‘‘You could not mandamus the may or and force him to sign a check In payment of an illegal contract,” said Mr. Mayson. “What are we going to do next year with the old crematory torn down and Mr. Woodward refusing to sign the check on payment for the new plant?” urged Aiderman John E. McClelland. "There will be such a nuisance from garbage dump piles that the people will rise up in arms against the city gov ernment.” Aiderman J. B. Everett was the third man, with Aidermen Van Dyke and Mc- Clelland, to comply with Mr. Wood ward's request and vote to hold up the resolution of council authorizing the destruction of the old crematory at the meeting of the board yesterday. Dr. Gilbert and W. E. Dowd, agent ot the Destructor Company, said the new plant would be in operation by June 1 of next year If the company could gel to work at once. The contract allows 310 workings d*v« fnr‘ the completion of the plant
