Port Retaken by Sultan’s Men.
After Fierce Onslaught*
From Water.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 11.—A
deJ-i'f victory over the Bulgarians
" tlie recapture of the town, of Ro
(lesto • eently occupied by the 8u1a,..
a ,.. wa s announced by Turkish offi
cials today.
Ti,..c stated that the town had been
bombarded from the south and then
taken b' troops landed from the Turk
)9h ladron. The heaviest firing was
done bv the warship Messudiyeh. which
opened the attack.
Hos 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 Are upon the ships.
All the guns of the war fleet were
brought into action by the Bulgarian
artillery, which shelled fiercely. During
the height of the bombardment boats
put nff from the ships bearing Turkish
soldiets. 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 soldiers had been landed
the order to charge was given and the
Turks made a furious assault upon the
Bulgarian Infantry. According to the
Turkish authorities, the Bulgars were
driven 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 general massacre had somewhat
abated. The call of the Selk U1 Islam
for a holy war seemed to have been
without marked effort except in isolated
places.
The appearance of more foreign war
ships in the Golden Horn had the effect
of quieting the fanatiscism of the Mo
hammedans. The British armored
cruiser Hampshire and the Austrian
scout ship Admiral Spaun haye 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.

Great Diplomatic
Struggle Is On
PARIS, Nov. 11.—Beneath the ap
parently calm negotiations of the Euro
pean chancelleries over the recast of
the map of southeasterly Europe, one of
the greatest diplomatic struggles of
modern times vis being waged.
So great is the tension beneath the
euiface that the slightest false step
may plunge Europl into war. The
quarrel over the divisions of the spoils
of the Balkan war extends into the six
great capitals of Europe.
Great Britain is now ready for any
eventuality, having mobilized her en
tire fleet. While Austria has taken the
lead so far, she has given no indication
of an active aggressive policy as re
gards the Balkans. The international
affairs of that empire are such that she
may be prevented from making any
warlike demonstrations.
Premier Poncalre, of France, is said
to be at work upon a program govern
ing the distribution of territory taken
from Turkey by the allies.
Allies Near Quarrel,
Thls new program is said to reduce
the number of Servian ports on the
Adriatic from three to one. It is not
believed, however, that Servia will ever
consent to this. Reports from the Bal

quarrel over possession of Salon

‘DRYS’ BP M
ON LDCKERCLUBS
Anti-Saloon Leader Says Near
Beer Will Be Banned by
Next Legislature.
More bumps are scheduled for At
lanta.’.? 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. B. 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 Closely,
“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
this 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
Shukrf 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 am) hud driven the
besl-ge;s a short distance Into the sur

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 when 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 ball 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.

ESTATE INCOME TO
HIS TWO DAUGHTERS

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
forts To Delay Trial of
Quartette.
NEW YORK, Nov. 11.-awith 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
chiqf 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
yvant the 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’ be 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 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 and then went
back on the bench and rendered a judg
ment, without batting an eye.

ARMISTEAD SAYS
FOES 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 Ge.neral Wright's recom
mendation that the state take over the
administration of the affairs of the
Cosmopolitan Life Ineurance 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 promptr
ly and willi«gly have removed the only
objection which the insurance depart
ment ever hns urged .against the Cos
mopolitan. the present proceedings are
regarded as being entirely unnecessary.
Aside front the contract, there has
never been anything whatever in the
condition of the company or its man
agement which justified intervention
from any sou/ce. .
“The Cosmopoliptn is not insolvent,
and no on© 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 ia now
on the books of the company. The
affairs of the co mpany are being eco
nomically administered in the utmost
faith.
Elarres “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
factq, 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
measure 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 Cosmopolitan. It can
be, and it will be, if freed from persecu
tion, a superb success.”
ITALIANGANG SLEW
GIRL FOR REVENGE IS
NEW POLICE THEORY
GEORGETOWN, CONN., Nov. 11.—
That the young woman whose body
was found early Saturdaj- morning in
the mill pond near here was murdered
for revenge by a gang of Italians and
that the murder was committed at some
distance from the scene where the
corpse was found and brought to the
scene in a wagon, was clearly estab
lished by the state police today.
Little progress has been made toward
positive identification of the body. The
initials, "G. C.,” embroidered on cloth
wrapped around the body and the gold
ring which the woman wore furnish
practically the only clews to her iden
tity. ,
The theory that the woman was killed
as an informer in the local liquor raids
of a week ago is believed to have been
practically abandoned and Prosecutor
Bars, of Danbury, says that no woman
gave any evidence.

RDAD FIGHTS TJX
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, as brought before the
Federal court, will cause the court to
pass upon a point never before decided
by any court of law, the question of
whether or not an exemption from taxes
is a personal equity. When the char- '
ters of the two small roads were grant
ed by the state it was provided that
neither should ever pay tgxes on any
thing except the income. The char
ters were granted shortly after the Civil
wa r.
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 lease
lease on them that the personal ex
emption ended. The roads filed an in
junction in the United States court and
the first hearing began this morning.
Attorney General Felder is appearing
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 by
Lawton & Cunningham, of Savannah,
and Powell & Little, of Atlanta.
