Exeter Times, 1912-10-31, Page 6S WIN BIG BATTLES st trwery DIviayed on Both Sides Another Igarian Army Invades Turkey By Way of Black Sea A despatch hem London says!. The newe from the seat of war on Wednesday night tells of the eon - tinned 'successes of the allies. The Servians have 'captured Novi Bazar and are the virtual piasters cif Kumanova. The vietoriese however, have' been purchased at heavy sae - The situation in Thrace is becom- ing 'clearer. A great battle is being fought over a, wide semiecireular front beore, Adrianople, upon which town the Bulgarians are gra- dually 'closing in. On the east they have occupied Vasilika a,nd Tirn- ovo, and are continuing their ad- Yance 'southward,. On the west th'e Bulgarians, ac- oorcling to official Sofia accounts, have reached the Arda River, close to Adrianople, which is being vig- orously bombarded. Already the two outer forts have fallen. Some positions to the north of :Adrianople are also ead to have been taken after fighting of the severest char- aoter. It is eignib.eant that Wednesda,y night's Constantinople despatches have a less oonfident tone tha-n pre- vious despatch.es from the Capital, while they admit a heayy struggle, in which both eides are showing the utmost bravery, Information coneerning the, Mon- tenegrin progress ie meagre, but the Turkish authorities claim that Seetari has been. reinforced and is safe. Rift hi Balkan Concert. A Salonika, despatch asserts that the Malissori tribes are offended be- cause the Montenegrin commanders are proclaiming the sovereignty of King Nicholas in the captured Al- e. hania,n towns, They demand that King Nicholas give a, guarantee that he evacuate Albanian territory and Bemire autonomy for Albania. So far they have received no satis- factory reply, and it is reported that they are refusing t.o fight fur- ther for the Montenegrins, whose advance has been thereby checked. About 1,000 Bulgarian prisoners of war have arrived in Constanti- nople, ateording to a special des- patch from the Turkish capital. • Greeks Capture Servia. A despatch from Athens says: The Greeks have occupied the town of Servia, and have also captured the bridge over the River Aliak- Mena (Indje Karasad, thereby cutting off the retreat of the Turks. Anotper Bulgarian Invasion. A despatch from Sofia says: An- other Bulgarian army has Invaded Turkey. this time along the shores of the Black Sea. After oocupying the coast town of Vasilika they captured Tinley°, and are now ad- vancing southward upon the impor- tant town of Visa. The prisoners taken by the Bul- gariana say the vigorous offeusive movement of the invaders took the Turks by surprise. The Turks are demoralized, ill -fed and badly dis- ciplined. Varying Reports of Fight. According to ene report,* & deci- sive movement against Kirk-Kilis- seh began Monday eveuing, 'when cavalry and infantry, under oover of a heavy artillery fire, attacked the town. en two sides. The. Bulger- ians have completely surrounded Kirk-Kilisseh, which the Turks re- gard as of almost equal importance with Adrianople. Its defence has been entrusted to Muktar Pasha, son of the Grand Vizier, and Haziest Pasha. Severe fighting is also reported in the Struma Valley. The Bulgarians on Tuesday occupied important strategic points in Kresna, Pass, The Turks fled, abandoning muni- tions and supplies. Servian Victories. A despatch from Belgrade says: Official announcement was made here on Thursday eight that the Serviaes have captured Novi Ba- zar, Prestina, Kumanova,, Krathva and Kotscha,na. Detachments of the Servian army entered Kumano- va on Thursday afternoon after annihilating the Turkish batteries. The fighting around that town last- ed three days. The Turks Defeated. In an engagement Tuesday at Marash, at the junction of the Mir- itza and Arda Rivers, close to Ad- rianople, the Bulgarians were at- tacked by 8,000 Turks. After an hour of heavy artillery and rifle fire the Turks Were defeated and fled in disorder, leaving the field strewn with dea:d and wounded. The Bul- garians captured NO prisoners, a dozen quick -firers and quantities of munitions. Many Turks drowned themselves in the river because they believed the Bulgarians massacred their prisoners. Drove Greeks, Back. A despatch from Athens says: General Sap•ountzakis, the Greek commander, wires from Arta that throughout Wednesday fighting in the Kamatsades defile was indeci- sive. At night the Turks made a surprise attack with greatly su- perior forces and succeeded in driv- ing back two Greek battalions oc- cupying the defile. • The engage- ment continued all night. At Grirabovo the Turks were driv- en with great loss by a counter at- tack from the position • they had captured. The fighting continued. on Tursday, during which the Turks lost seventy killed.

Two years ego last 3anuary he was beat- en for the Mayoralty by a large major- ity by Mr. Geary, It had been a hard fight and Mr. Hooken's friends had beell eouledett. Some eoreuess might have been forg•iven. Mr. "Waken showed ,none, "Oh, it will do my business good to have' me knit of the City Hall 'for' a year," he said. "And„. anyway, 111be the next Mayor." And true enough he is, As soon as Mr. Geary steps out he steps in. He will be a candidate for re-eleotion in January, and with the odds in his favor. Tommy Church says he will run against him, but nobody knows wba,t Torenly will do, Maybe Tommy is just getting in line to succeed Hocken when he drops out. Typically Torontoesque. Mr. Hocken is a clean, creditable type o publie man, not particularly brilliant Perhaps, but an earnest student and con- scientious worker. On 'he platform he is a ready speaker, and .n debate puts his ease clearly and well. He is not the wire - pulling type of ward politician who will sell his support in return for support for some pet raeasure. Nevertheless, he has several times proved his popularity with the electors by heading the poll for Board of Control. And the Council unanimous- ly chose him for the Mayer'e chair. Ile is strorig church worker, temperance man, a Sons of England (Cornish descent), ad, of oourse, an Orangeman. So,' in .many respects he is typically Torouto.esque. Re is inclined to be tenacious of enmities. R. le Fleming of the street re, Isea.e is a personal bete noir of long standing, and he is inclined sometimes to embrace half. baked propositione, as; for example, his early advocacy of "tubes." But on the whole he will undoubtedly, Prove to be credit to the Mae. or's chair. ' The Duke Was Hoarse. The Duke of Connaught further popu- larized himself an bis latest visit eo To - route, though he stepped off only long eaough to have luncheon with the Cana- dia,n Club. It was not that he said any- thing linportant, but rather his democra. tic demeanor that pleased isveryone. He intimated that he could not speak very well and excused himself accordingly, be- cause he had a bad cold and was there- fore hoarse. • He said it just as • would any other ordinary mortal who is called upon to make a speech, and it amused immensely the four hundred members_of the Canadian Club who were present. It is the sympathy with the rest of mankind in little things that makes the Royal family of England so popular. The Duke's "cold" recalls the cheers that used to greet a scene in the cinematograph which allowed his late brother, King Ede ward. on board ship, rise from his seat and walk a fesv paeee past some ladies to the rail to tick his cigar ash oveyboard, just like any other man. , During the lunoheon, Mr: J. S. Willison spoke, as always, gracefully and acceptab- ly, dwelling specially on the growth of national spirit in Canada, but pointing out that this growth was not resulting in any weakening of the Imperial bond, but .rather the reverse. The function throughout, at his Royal Highness' special request, was thoroughly democratic. The Oanadiaai Club znembers attended, as usual, in tlaeir business dress, and abso- lute infoimality prevailed. As a matter of fact; however, they did go to a better restaurant and order a better luncheon than usual in honor of the occasion. Slr. Thomas Lipton and Royalty. Sir Thomas Lipton was a guest at the luncheon to the Duke 4if Connaught, and his presence was quite appieneeiate for the famous yachtsman, no matter how numerous are his nenales in high places, he •ha s not, in recent years, lacked for friends among the Royal fanaily. The late King Edward was always a strong backer of Sir Thomas, though he didn't seciire his election to the Royal Yaeht Squadron, the premier yachting club of the world. • The Ring and Queen of Spain, the Empress Eugenie, the Queen of Nor- way and either royalties are all friends, frequently accepting his hospitality and, it is said, beieg sonaetiraee assoeiated. with him in business ventures. This friend of Rings and Queens began life at the 'bottom as a groeer boy, but he never hesitates to talk of his early struggles' ot of his "trade," They say he is fee; proud to attempt to hide any- thing. He has long held the reputation of being the foremost advertiser in Eng- land, and no doubt he is a good one. Even, the money he hast sunk in yacht races has no doubt retarded to hira mane- times over in the form of free publicity. A certain type of Englishman is contemptu- ous of Advertisers, and of trades people, a fact which explaina many of the rebuffs Sir Thoniaer has receiyed in Eeglieh so. His First Employe. • Sir Thomas is a typical Irishman who talks Scotch. He always has a story en tap.- Here is one he told in Toronto; "In my iirst• little shop 'I was so poor I could affeed only on.e 41446sta:it, a boy of fourteen, who leas faithful, honest -and willing.

EN:MUTT COMPANY LIMITED TORONTO, ONT. WINNIPEG • MONTREAL TtS=. CiMM7M,VMMZEM BECKER IS FOUND GUILTY Verdict In the Famous New York Murder Case Re- ' turned by Jury A despatch from New York says : "Guilty of muecler in the first de- gree," was' the verdict retdrned three minutes before midnight on Thursday 'night by the jury in the, case of Lieutenant Becker, charg- ed with killing Herman Rosenthal. The jury had been. out exactly seven hours and 5% minutes. The length of its deliberation, and the frequency of its requests for exhi- bits, together with an uranistaka,ble sige of hot arguments in the jury- room, had led most of those who waited late at the Criminal Courts building to believe that there would be no agreement. So that when the blow finally fell upon the defendant, its force was all the more crushing. Becker's lawyers had grown more confident as the hours sped. Beck- er himself, chatting pleasantly with his wife, the Plitt brothers, and a former reporter, Frederick H, Haw- ley, who had testified in his behalf, wa,"6 serenely confident that there could be no answer fro mthe jury- room tave not guilty. - The convicted man bore- up un- der the skek with the grinieess and reselution that had Character- ized him all through the trial. When the momentous answer ealneeto the question of ,the clerk of the court, Gentlemen, have you agreed upon a verdict'?" the Lieutenant turned, calmly toward Harold B. Skinner, the foreixtan, and displayed no emo- tion whatever is Mr. Skinner pro- nounced a few short words that 'spelled his fate. The only sign of agitation, the only visible appear- ance of shock, wa.e a grayness that spread over his dark face, the nar- rowing of the fierce eyes, and e ,eontraction of the. nauscles of the throat. Presently when he lifted his right hand and gave oath as to the facts of his age and circum- stances there was not a. quiver of the big arm or a waver of a finger. 'He could answer the formal ques- tions put to him only in husky tone's, barely audible a few feet from where he stood at the bar of the court. In North America.
