In the suburb' unprotected Christians are being killed News of the fall of Salonika reached the populace today for the first time, ' and this, added to the repeated exhor tations of the Mohammedan priests for a holy war, has worked the fanatic Mussulmans Into a frenzy.

JUICY PIE FOR SAVANNAH FAITHFUL SAVANNAH, GA., Nov. 9.—Locally, there are several most desirable Federal places which will be anxiously sought after when Woodrow Wilson becomes president next March, but some will not be available for a while. President Taft a few weeks ago ap pointed Marcus S. Baker, Jr., postmas ter for a term of four years. As collector of the port at Savannah, William R. Leaken was appointed three years ago, for a term of four years. By the time the new president is inau gurated, his term will almost have expired. Then there is the office of United States district attorney- and his two as sistants. It is understood that District Attorney Alexander Akerman, of Ma con, will tender his resignation as soon as President Wilson announces the ap pointment of the Democratic attorney general. This would also necessitate a change In the assistant district attor neys, positions now held by Mr. Aker man's brother and Arthur H. Coding ton, both of Macon. It is very likely that Savannah will furnish the new district attorney. The office of marshal, with several deputies, is also to be filled. CLEMENCY SOUGHT FOR OFFICER WHO SLEW BOY The prison c.ommislson has conclud ed its hearing for clemency In the case of Policeman Van Lewellen, of Dal ton, convicted of involuntary man slaughter In the Whitfield superior court some six months ago and sen tenced to two years.

LISTENING PDLICy ■ FOR GUI. WILSON l Just Reading and Hearing All He Can on Extra Session Proposition. PRINCETON, N. J., Nov. 9.—“ The editorials that are being printed on the subject of an extra session of congress are very interesting and important,” said President-elect Wilson today. When asked if he would comment on an extra session, he said: "No; I am still maintaining my lis tening policy. I shall try to read every thing and hear everything that is said on any subject that will come be fore the president before March 4.” Asked if he proposed to take news paper clippings and other form of sug gestions with him on his vacation, the governor said: "Not at all. I propose to rest. I shall neither read politics nor discuss politics.” The governor added that he did not Intend to be visited by any political ad visers. "Not even Mr. McCombs or Mr. McAdoo will come to see me,” he said. ‘‘l have asked to be left absolutely alone. If anybody comes he will not see me; that's all.” The governor was greatly amused at an editorial which said that Inasmuch as he had not received a majority of the popular vote in the United States it was plain the people of the country were not in favor of tariff revision. The governor said this was an absurd statement in view of the fact that the Democratic majority in the house had What Tom Wilson Swears To: GEORGIA—FuIton County. Personally appeared W. T Wilson, who on oath, makes the following deposition: That he was in the employ of the City of Atlanta in the City Engineer Department from 1892 to 1912, and his du ties weie to inspect curbing and give lines and gTades for the same. That about the year 1901 or 1902 the contract was let for granite curbing and that the price bid was about 24 1-2 or 24 3-4 cents per lineal foot, which price was some 6or 8 cents lower than in previous years. The contractor began the delivery oi the curb, which said Wilson did not consider up to the specifications prepared by the City Engineer and upon which bid was awarded. Upon inspection ‘ of this curbing, the said Wilson stated to R. M. Clayton, City Engineer, in the presence of a witness that the curb did not comply with speci fications and that upon said report the said R. M. Clayton told deponent to ‘ let the contractor alone as he was furnish ing as good curb as was possible under the price lie had bid.” o W. T. WILSON.

Is it hot true that on West Tenth street near the head of Orme street a sewer was put down under Mr. Han sell's directions along the gutter line Instead of the middle of the street; that the ditch was dug about ten feet d« ep and very close to the water pipe; that it rained and the bank caved in and about three or four hundred feet of water main broke and fell in?

He referred also to an editorial statement printed the day after elec tion that the vote in Idaho, which then appeared to have gone Republican, was indicative of the temper of the country on the tariff. "All of which is very amusing,” he said. Mrs. Wilson, it was learned today, has had a secretary, Miss Marie Bay less, for a week or ten days. Airs. Wilson lias been flooded with letters, Just as 1 have,” said the gov ernor, "and she has had to get a secre tary. Miss Bayless is an extremely competent young woman. She lias had a lot of experience in this kind of work. A good deal of her employment has been with literary men.” Miss Bayless is from West Union, Ohio. She has had several years ex perience as stenographer and secretary to literary people.

Governor DES MOINES, IOWA, Nov. 9.—The election of George W. Clarke, Republi can, for governor was made certain by verified returns from all but five coun ties. of the street protested against paying the bill because it cost them more to make connections where they had to run from the middle of the street over to the east side of the street to g[et into the sewer? Is this expert engineering? Is it not true that an eight-inch sewer pipe was laid on Longley avenue out near tile stock yards, in which a brick tel. down a man hole and stopped up the sewer; that the engineer in charge of construction of the sewer condemned the same and refused to accept it on the part of the city, and that Mr. Han sell afterward went out to this point land, without getting out of his auto mobile to look to see whether the brick I was in thv sewe. or not, accepted tile ! Heavy Socialist Vote in Washington SEATTLE, WASH., Nov. 9.—-The So cialist vote in the state of Washington, to which but little attention was paid in the earlier counting of the ballots, Is astonishingly- large. Complete returns will probably give Debs in excess of 40,000. Anna L. Maley, the Socialist woman candidate for governor, has re ceived in the neighborhood of 30,000. King county, the largest in the state, gave Debs nearly 7,000 votes. With 71 precincts missing, Ernest Lister, Democratic candidate for gov ernor, has 839 plurality over Governor Hay.

Hopkins, who was primary candidate for the senatorship before the election of Lorimer, will de mand the election. Lawrence Y. Sher man will also be a candidate.
