' 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.

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 At Adrianople ODESSA, RUSSIA, Nov. 11.—The first direct dispatch received from the besieged city of Adrianople reached here today from a newspaper corre spondent. It was dated November 9, and was as follows: “The bombardment of this city by the Bulgarians began again yesterday and continued today from the south and west In the afternoon It stopped, and Sliukri Pasha, the military commander, had placards posted all over the city announcing the victory of the garrison, which repulsed the Bulgarian attacking force around Maras and had driven the besiegers a short distance into the ui - rwumUnu c«untr' rHE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. MONDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1912. flikuJHEwv Justice John W. Goff, supreme court judge sitting on the trial of the four gunmen. Up and Down Peachtree Ty Can’t Bat .400 In the Tennis League. Tyrus Raymond Cobb may be able to hold his job in the American league, but w'hen it comes to tennis he is a dub, a duffer and anything else you want to call him. He let a 210-pound Atlantan put it all over him on the Piedmont Driving club courts, and when the set was over Ty's tongue was hanging out. Dr. John Hurt, an Atlantan and old time friend of the famous Royston star, was the man who had Cobb fanning the atmosphere with his tennis racquet. Dr. Hurt might not be able to carry bats in a bush league, but he knows how to place a tennis bail in the other corner every time. He challenged the Georgia Peach to a game at the club courts, and though he pulls down more than 200 on the scales, he played rings around the Tigers' pride. Ty no long er has an Idea of abandoning baseball and trying for the American tennis championship. ' 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.

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 receive the income from the estate while in life, the other heirs, Charles S. and Linton H. Hopkins, are to share the property jointly in the event of the death of their two sisters. W. S. PENLEY, FAMOUS COMEDIAN, DIES AT 60 LONDON, Nov. 11.—William S.

Justice Goff Shuts Off All Ef forts To Delay Trial of 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 lanta attorney, it. takes three justices of the peace to try a case In Meri wether county. 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 ment, without batting an eye. CAMDEN NOT AFTER TOGA IN KENTUCKY LOUISVILLE.

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.” TRIES SUICIDE AS HE GETS BAD NEWS FROM HOME Ely Kasralowitz, a tailor of 17 War ren place, is at Grady hospital at tlie point of death as the result of having slashed his throat with a razor Sunday morning after he had received a letter from his Russian home bearing him ill tidings.

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.
