After Fierce Onslaught
From Water.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 11.—A
/,IV,. victory' over the Bulgarians
. recapture of the town of Ro
" recently occupied by the Bul
sa... ,va< announced by Turkish offi
cials today.
' r IP v stated that the town had been
bombarded from the south and then
. ke „ by troops landed from the Turk
- 5 .h Squadron. The heaviest firing was
done by the warship Messudiyeh. which
opened the attack.
Before the Turkish fleet began its
bombardment Nazim Pasha, the Turk
ish minister of war, sent a note to the
inhabitants of Rodosto ordering them
to evacuate the town.
As the civilians fled the Bulgarian
troops which had been encamped be
vond the city entered Rodosto and the
Bulgarian artillery upon the heights
opened fire upon the ships.
All the guns of the war fleet were
brought Into action by the Bulgarian
artillery, which shelled fiercely. During
the .eight of the bombardment boats
put off from the ships bearing Turkish
soldier.-, Under the fire of the squad
ron the soldiers formed upon the beach
fixing bayonets upon their guns.
Bulgars Retreat Behind Artillery.
When 3,000 roldiers had been landed
the order to charge was given and the
h'urks made a furious assault upon the
Bulgarian infantry. According to the
Turkish authorities, the Bulgars were
• riven out. taking refuge behind their
artillery beyond the city.
Slight Improvement was shown in
the situation in Constantinople today.
While privations continue to cause
great suffering and the fears of a gen
eral pestilence are growing, the menace
of a genera' massacre had somewhat
sbateo. The call of the Seik U1 Islam
for a holy wav seemed to have been
without marked effort except in isolated
places.
The appearance of more foreign war
ship? in the Golden Horn had the effect
of quieting the fanatlscism of the Mo
hammedans. The British armored
cruiser Hampshire and the Austrian
►cout ship Admiral Spaun have arrived
off this city.
A pest house for the care of cholera
patients has been established halfway
between Chatalja and this city.
There are said to be 30 cases of
cholera under treatment.

ON LOCKER CLUBS
Anti-Saloon Leader Says Near
Beer Will Be Banned by
I
Next Legislature.
More bumps are scheduled for At
lanta’s locker clubs.
The Anti-Saloon league has its eagle
eye trained on these various “social
combines’’ and will closely scrutinize
their conduct during the next few
weeks. And if the clubs fail to walk
the "chalk line” —in other words, if
they don’t comply strictly with the
terms of the state prohibition law—
there’s going to be a mighty effort to
touch off a destructive explosive.
That the Anti-Saloon league Is right
on the job and already has a definite
plan of warfare against the clubs map
ped out was indicated by J. R. Rich
ards. the secretary and one of the most
active workers in the league in the
South, in a talk last night at the Jones
Avenue Baptist church on the prohi
bition situation.
Watch Clubs Ciosely.
"We’re watching these clubs closely
to ascertain whether they intend to con
form to the state prohibition law,” said
Mr. Richards. “Os course, we have no
idea that they will—they haven’t done
so in the past —and it is highly possible
that they may be closed, or else the
present liquor feature extracted from
them, by the first of January.
"The prohibition law provides that
each member of the club must drink
from his own private stock of liquor in
his ‘ own private locker, and we want'
tills law enforced," he said. "We want
to eliminate these regular borrooms.
And when this is done, we won’t have
so many clubs in Atlanta.”
Mr. Richards went no further into de
tails as to the plans of the league, but
his remarks indicated that a systemat
ic and persistent fight will be prose
cuted and that without much delay.
Sees Passage of Anti-Beer Law.
As to the Tippins bill, prohibiting the
sale of near-beer in Georgia, and which
failed of passage at the last session of
the legislature, Mr. Richards declared
this bill will be passed by an over
whelming majority at the coming ses
sion next summer.
"We already have enough votes pledg
ed to insure the passage of this meas
ure —the fate of near-beer in Geogia is
sealed," he asserted.
“And Governor Slaton will sign the
bill, too. There's no fear as to that,”
he added.
Mr. Richards warned all church peo
ple of the city against apathy, declar
ing this to be the only danger that con
fronts the success of prohibition in
Georgia.
Bulgars Repulsed

ODESSA, RUSSIA, Nov. 11.—The
first direct dispatch received from the

“The bombardment of this city by

Sliukri Pasha, the military commander,

HOPKINS’ WILL GIVES
ESTATE INCOME TO
HIS TWO DAUGHTERS
Bequeathing the income of the en
tire estate to his two daughters, Mrs.
M. H. Howell and Miss Charlotte Hop
kins, while in life, the will of the late
Judge John L. Hopkins was filed in the
Fulton county court of ordinary today
for probate.
While the will does not set forth the
value of the property left by Judge
Hopkins, It is considered a comfortable
fortune. The holdings are in Atlanta
real estate, stocks and bonds. Miss
Charlotte Hopkins, with Charles S. and
Linton H. Hopkins, were made execu
tors.
Although, by the terms of the will,
Mrs. Howell and Miss Hopkins are to

Linton H. Hopkins, are to share the
property jointly in the event of the
death of their two sisters.

Justice Goff Shuts Off All Ef

Quartette.
NEW YORK, Nov. 11.—With Justice
Goff shutting off every effort at delay,
the trial of the four gunmen. “Gyp the
Blood," "Lefty Louie,” “Dago Frank”
and “Whitey Lewis,” for the murder of
Herman Rosenthal, was resumed today.
There were five jurors in the box when
the examination of veniremen began,
and It was believed that the other jurors
would be secured today. Jack Rose, the
chief witness against the gunmen, will
probably be the first man called to
testify.
Attorney Wahle, for the defense,
thinks he can complete his case in four
days. District Attorney Whitman be
lieves the state can finish In three days.
All of the defendants, through their
counsel, announced they would take the
stand.
• In addition to the witnesses used in
the Becker trial, it is understood that
the district attorney has some new ones.
He said today of his witnesses whose
veracity had been attacked:
“If they can prove that any wit
nesses for the people are testifying
falsely, I hope it will be done. I don't
want the people’s case to benefit by
perjury, but at the same time I am
bound to use the evidence offered. It
will be very satisfactory to me if the
witnesses are allowed all the leeway
proper In testifying, because I hope
much interesting evidence may he re
vealed at this trial.”
THIS JUSTICE TESTIFIES
IN THE CASE HE DECIDES
According to Morris Macks, an At

of the peace to try a case In Meri

Macks says he went to Chalybeate
Springs on Saturday to try a bond case,
and the justice of that place, N. A.
Wright, called In two jurists from ad
joining districts to reach a verdict. One
of the justices. Macks says, went on the
witness stand himself -#nd then went
back on the bench and rendered a judg

JRMISTEIID 5115"
F 0E S FALSIFIED
Declares Enemies of Cosmo
politan Life Misrepresented
Facts, Causing Action.
Outrageous misrepresentation of the
facts in the case was declared today by
Joel F. Armistead to be the cause of
Comptroller General Wright's recom
mendation that the state take over the
administration of the affairs of the
Cosmopolitan Life Insurance Company.
He asserts that the comptroller acted
on the best of motives, but that he had
listened to a flagrantly false represen
tation of the case.
Mr. Armistead said:
"As the company and myself prompt
ly and willingly have removed the only
objection which the insurance depart
ment ever has urged against the Cos
mopolitan, the present proceedings are
regarded as being entirely unnecessary.
Aside from the contract, there has
never been anything whatever in the
condition of the company or its man
agement which justified intervention
from any source.
“The Cosmopolitan is not insolvent,
and no one can truthfully make the
assertion that it Is. The Cosmopolitan
has something over $1,000,000 of quick
assets that can be converted into cash
in a few hours. Applications for in
surance aggregating over $4,000,000
have been received by the company
since it began business, and about
$2,250,000 has been accepted and is now
on the books of the company. The
affairs of the company are being eco
nomically administered in the utmost
good faith.
Blames "Foes of Company."
"I believe the action of General
Wright in Intervening was actuated by
the best of motives, but both the offi
cers of the Cosmopolitan and myself
are equally confident that his action Is
predicated upon misrepresentations of
facts of the most outrageous character
the source of which are the same peo
ple who have so diligently and persist
ently endeavored to wreck the com
pany.
“Should this action of the insurance
commissioner or the one of Sudderth
and his allies succeed, irretrievable and
Inexcusable wrong will result, not only
to the body of Cosmopolitan stockhold
ers, but to the holders of the securities
of every other Southern life and fire
insurance institution. The fight is be
ing made to preserve not only the in
tegrity of the Cosmopolitan, but In a
pleasure to preserve every other home
Institution of a fiduciary character.
“The insurance act of 1912, if obeyed
strictly, prohibits the formation of any
new insurance organization In Georgia
and leaves the field for life insurance in
this state open only to such Southern
companies as those already organized.
There is absolutely no reason for the
dissolution of the Coslnopolltan. It can
be, and it will be. if freed from persecu
tion, a superb success.”

ON LEASED LINES
Injunction Suit Involving More
Than $500,000 State Reve
nue Heard in U. S. Court.
The first hearing on an injunction
which involves more than $500,000 in
back taxes was begun in the Federal
court before Judge W. T. Newman this
morning and will continue for at least
two days.
The Central of Georgia railway Is the
petitioner in the injunction, while the
state of Georgia and a number of south
Georgia counties are opposing It. The
litigation is a result of the Central of
Georgia obtaining perpetual leases on
the Augusta and Savannah railroad
and on the Southwestern Railroad Com
pany which formerly were independent
corporations.
The injunction, os brought beforfl the
Federal court, will cause the •.our’ io
pass upon a point never before d«scide:
by any court of iaw, the question o?
whether or not an exemption from taxes
is a personal equity. When tlie char
ters of the two small toads were grant
ed by the state it was provided that
neither should ever pay taxes on any
thing except the income. The char
ters were granted shortly after the Civil
war.
Seven years ago the Central of Geor
gia leased the two roads. Last year the
comptroller general of the state issued
fl. fas. for a year's full taxes against
each of the two, declaring that when
the Central obtained a perpetual lean
lease on them that the personal ex
emption ended. The roads filed an in
junction in the United States court ami
the first hearing began this morning.
Attorney General Felder is appealing
for the state, being assisted by Judge
John C. Hart, who also represents a
number of counties, and by Judge Sib
ley. The railroad is represented b;
Lawton & Cunningham, of Savannah,
and Powell & Little, of Atlanta.
