Greek and Bulgarian/ nationalities in Constantinople, numbering a thou- sand or more, have been subjected to treatment designed to irritate the two nations, Financial considerations flg- ure largely in the attitude of the Turkish government, and practically all of the many hundreds of Greeks who are returning to Athens are com- pelled to pay full taxes to the end of the year before they are permitted to embark. FEven the crews of Greek ships which were ‘seized have been haled before the prefects and made to pay a year's taxes, as though they were Turkish subjects. Many of the QGreeks have been arrested on the charge of being deserting reservists, and they can secure their release only by paying the military exemption tax. A consular telegram reports the kill- ing of twelve Bulgarians at Kupeli, in Macedonia, by Turkish soldiers. Mas- sacres in Macedonia will be an ine itable feature of the war, but it is asserted here that the Turks will not say that fighting con- tinues a Berana. The Monte- negrins ancing towards Gusinje, | Plava and Arona, on the southeastern frontier, are encountering, much re- sistance and losing heavily, Severe fighting has occurred at Tushi, where the Turks are display- ing great bravery.

Machine Found in New York,but Thief is Sti Liberty. New Haven, Conn., Oct. 13.—Timo- thy F. O'Toole, a prisoner at the New Haven county jail, who escaped from that Institution Saturday by driving away in the automobile owned by Jail- er Charles J. Donahue, is still missing, but Donahue’s machine has been found in New York and brought back to New Haven. O'Toole, who is an expert driver and mechanic, has been-in jall for several months on the charge of theft, and his term would have expired next month. It appears that O'Toole has been act- ing as a chauffeur for Mr. Donahue for severa]l weeks, although he was still a prisoner. On Saturday, under the pretext of examining the machanism of the car, drove away at a fast gait. Before his disappearance was noticed he had a good start and no trace of him could | be found.

Hereabouts Have Gypsy o7 Browntail Moths. (Special to The Bulletin.) ‘Washington, Oct. 13.—Public hear- ings on the advisability of issuing quarantine orders against the forest products of certain New England lo- calities will be held here by the sec- retary of agriculture on Oct. 31. The local prevalence of the browntail moth and the gypsy moth is the reason for instituting the quarantine proceedings. If the proposed quaramtine against the gypsy moth is established it will probably include the following sec- tions, among others: The towns of Stonington and Wallingford, Conn., and« Burrillville and Gloucester, R. L The proposed quarantine against the browntail moth will take in the Con- necticut towns of Stafford, Unlon, ‘Woodstock, Thompson, Putnam, Pom- fret and Killingly, as well as all towns in Rhode Island except Exeter, Hop- kinton, Richmond, Westerly, Charles- town and South Killingly. Autherity for the quarantine pro- ceedings s contained im Section 8 of the plant quarantine act approved Aug: 20, 1912, which directs the secretary of agriculture to quarantine any section of the United States when he shall have determined the fact that a dan- gerous plant disease or infestation new te or not widely prevalent throughout the country exists therein, Before es- tablishing the quarantine, however, tha -] Towns ‘| secretary must give a public hearing at which any interested party may be heard, either in persen or by attorney.

The shipment of Christmas trees and greeds out of the area te be quarantined against the gypsy moth will in all probability be prohibited, except in so far,as it may be peesible to inspect them. A statement issued by the depart- ment says: . “The gypsy moth I8 one of the mos. destructive insects which attacks fruit, shade and forest trees. It is known to oceur in limited areas in Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Isl- and, and Connecticut, and as the egg masses of the insect may be trans- ported on Christmas trees and greens, living trees and shrubs, or on forest products, such as cordwood, lumber, telephone poles and railroad ties, it is necessary that every possible means be taken to prevent their distribution to other sections of the United States.” The department of agriculture’s statement further describps the brown- tail moth as an insect Infesting cer- tain portions of New England, which is causing serious damage to fruit and detiduous trees, as well as to some species of ornamental and shade trees, such as the elm and oalky ENCOURAGING CONDITION OF CONNECTICUT CROPS. Compositely, It is 110 Per Cent, of What It Was a-Year Ago. (Special to The Bulletin.) ‘Washington, Oct. 13.—The composite condition of crops in Connecticut on Oct. 1 was 110 per cent. of what it was on the same date in 1911, and 99 per cent, of the averages maintained in recent years. This information was made public b- Vietor F. Oimsted, statistician of the department of agri- culture. “The month of September,” says Mr. Olmsted, “has been generally favorable for the maturing of crops in the United States. On Oct. 1, or at time of harvest, the composite condition of all crops was about 20 per cent. bet- ter than last year, and 10 per cent. better than in an average season. It will be observed that last year, 1911, was unusually unfavorable for crops. “The condition of specified crops on Oct. 1, 1912, or at time «f harvest, as compared th same time last year, and with the average of recent years (not with normal) was as follows: Apples, 1912, compared with 1911, 113.4 per cent., average 126.3 per cent.; po- tatoes, 136.6 per t., average 111.7 per cent.: pears, 107.3 per cent., aver- age 110.1 per cent.; corn, 116.8 per cent., average 1 per cent.; sugar beets, 99 per cent, average 100.9 per cent.: tobacco, 101.6 per cent., average 9 per cent. imilarly as to production (instead of cendition) of bage 124.1 per cent.; 109 the follos averag Cab- ing rage pe lima beans 106.4 a e 102.2 per cent.; b 103.6 per cent., av- | erage 101.1 per cent “The following compari o to relative vield per 3 per cent, average 1 barley 1414 per cent, average 119.5 per cen all wheat 128 per cent., av- erage 109.6 per cent.; hav 128.9 per cent., average 103.5 per cent.” HAMMOCK ROPE BROKE AS CHILD WAS SWINGING.

Rawlirzs, Wyo, Oct. 13.—A battl: raged early tonight in the state peni- tentiary. Locked inside the walls with hundreds of mutinous prisoners, a few guards fought desperately to restor order and prevent a wholesale jail de- livery. Armed Citizens Outside. Camped outside the walls was a force of citizens, heavily armed, ready to drive back the convicts if they mur- dered the remaining guards and mad: ‘a rush through the gates. Shouts and shots told of desperate fighting within the walls, and it was rumored that sev- eral guards and convicts were killed. State Troops Called For. Another battle was in progress at the same time in the hills south of Rawlings between a posse of citizens and frem 40 to 50 escaped convicts. Two men were killed in the streets of Rawlings, one was desperately wounded and two convicts were recap- tured following the escape of from 10 to 30 prisoners, this afternoon. The town is in a panic. Frantic telegrams were sent to Governor Carey, now at Cheyenne, imploring him to send state troops to protect their lives. Life-Termers Overpower Keepe: The outbreak today was the second within 24 hours. About 3 p. m. yester- day 29 prisoners escaped and nipe werc re@aptured before 8 o'clock. ~At 2.2) this afternoon a party of desperate life-termers overpowered the celihouse keepers, took the keys and released their companions from their cells. Ev- ery prisoner willing to risk a battie with the guards made a rush for the walls. A moment later they were in the woods. Escaped Prisoner Kills Barber. A number of shots and yells echoed from the prisoners. A few seconds later more than a dozen men dashed down the main street whirling knives and revolvers. They charged Into a livery barn, holding up the proprietor and hastily throwing saddles and bri- dles on the horses. A huge negro armed with a revolver was left as guard en the opitside. Charles Stress- ner, a ‘barber, had heard the commo- tion and came dewn the street with a shot, The negre shot him througa the héad, killimg him instantly. Sheriff Kills a Prisoner. At the sound of -the shot the een- vlets ran around the stable, some With stolen horses and some a-foot. A Mexican went and stabbed the pro- prietor in the face, seriously wounding him, and Hugh Rodner, a deputy sher- iff, shot him twice, killing him almos® instantly. Man Hunt in the Hills. Leaving their dying comrade, the convicts made a dash for the rocky hills south of the town. A party of penitentiary guards followed in close pursuit and before the bewildered citl- zens had had time to form a posse pursuers and fugitives had disappeared among the hills. In a short time posses had been formed and one of the most desperate man hunts in the his- tory of the west was on. The convicts scattered into. small groups, all striv- ing/to escape into the mountains as soon as possible. Until nightfall a run- ning battle was kept up and late to- night occasionally volleys of shots told of the progress of the man hunt. Just before nightfall six convicts were located in a canyon about a mile south of Rawlings. Convict Found in Caboo One convict was found hiding in a caboose in the railroad yards. He overpowered the guard that was taking him back to the penitentiary, but the arrival of more guards prevented a lynching. The man was hustled into the prison. Some time later John Childs captured another convict in his cellar. Battle Inside Prison. When the doors of the cells were un- locked a large number of convicts who did not join in the break for liberty were set free inside the walls. Many of them were armed. Soon a riot was in progress, the guards battling des- perately to save their own lives and prevent the escape of every convict in the institution. The gates remained iocked and no definite worl came out early tonight regarding events within. Eariy this morning a report had it 10 citizens were killed, but was not con- firmed. Owners of Ranches Warned. Persons coming into town from the south bring stories of terrer in the country district. Riders have been sent to the ranches for a radius ot several miles warning the owners to be prepared to defend their property.
