Against Ettor. Salem, Mass, Oct. 17.—Testimony that Joseph J. Bttor, 'leader of the Lawrence textile strike, had advised the strikers to “keep the gun shops busy,” and that he had urged them not to fear the police or the “tin sol- diers with their sharp bayonets,” was given today in the trial of Bttor, Gio- vannitti, and Joseph Caruso, charged with the killing of Anna Lopizzo, mill operative, during the strike. The Lawrence police officers ga testimony that Glovannitti had ex- pressed to them deflance of the police and soldiers, and James P. Donahue, a Boston newspaper man, recounted speeches alleged to have been made by Bttor at Lawrence which the com- monwealth is endeavoring to show were of an inflammatory character and led to rioting, resulting in. the death of the Lopizzo woman. Donahue, who was at Lawrence throughout the strike, testified that. Ettor, on one occaslon, addressing a meeting _of strikers, referred to the French Revolution, after a young wo- man had told of industrial conditions in the Lawrence mills, The witness said that Ettor described how “the lamp postsihad been hung with the heads of the masters,” after they had told the working. people “to go_and eat grass.” On another occasion, Don- ahue said, Ettor told the strikers, “some one is going to be got before this is over, anq see to it that it lsn't you.” INVENTOR MARCONI'S RIGHT EYE REMOVED. Operation Necessary fo Save Sight of the Other Eye. Rome, Oct. 17—William Marconi's right. eye was removed today py or. Bayardi, a noted Turin surgeon. Mr. Marconl was seriously Injured ou September 25, in an automobtis acci- dent near Borghetta. He was remov- ed to the hospital of the naval depart- mevt at Speria where he was treated for several days. The severe con- tusions and swelling around the in- jured eye prevented a thorough ex- amination until recendy, when it was found that the optic merve had been affected. ‘. A consultation of physicians was held on Tuesday last when it was de cided to operate, the removal of the right eye being deemd necessary to preserve the sight of the other. Since October 10, Mr. Marconi’s condition had not been satisfactory. He had suffered from neuralgic pains and ithe visual power of the injured eye show- ed rapid diminution. Dr, Bayardi had a final consultation with Dr. Fulch a surgeon of Vienna after which the operation was per- formed successfully. “THAT GALLANT GENTLEMAN LYING IN THE HOSPITAL" Gov.

Washington, Oct. 17.“—The sinister system” formed a deep laid plot to control the present presidential elec- tion, Thomas W. Lawson of Boston told the senate campaign contributions committee. Mr. Lawson was careful to impress upon the committee that he knew only in a “general way” of the alleged co- lossal scheme to nominate and elect a candidate “satisfactory to the Wall street interests.” All of his testimony was of matters which he knew in the same “general way” and he became involved In a heated controversy with the committee in defining just what he meant by this phrase, with which he prefaced practically every statement he made. Split, G. 0. P.,, Dark Horse Democrat. The conspiracy ‘of the Wall street interests, of which Mr. Lawson knew in a general way, included, he de- clared, the defeat of Colonel Roose- velt -at the republican national con- vention, the nomination of President Taft, and the injection of Colonel Roosevelt into the cgmpaign as a third party candidate, to 'split the republi- can party. All this without the knowl- edge or consent of Colonel Rooseveélt. Then Mr. Lawson knew, in a genera] way, a mysterious fund of $1,000,000 had been raised in Wall street to dead- lock the democratia convention at Bal- timore, prevent the nomination of any of the candidates before the conven- tion and to name a dark horse satis- factory to the “system,” who was to be elected.

Frank A. Munsey, who preceded Mr. Lawson, argued at length with te® committee nst the publicity of campaign contributlons, declaring that it was necessary that rich men con- tribute to poliiieal funds and that such publicity as the present investi- gatlon has endorsed had “frozen up the poeketbooks” of the wealthy, He outlined his own experience in the Roosevelt eontribution fund when he gave $118,000 and tolq the committee, and that compared to the amount he was reported to have contributed made him look like a piker.

Have Already London, Oct. 17.—While Turkey and the Balkan states are carrying out the last formalities connected with the declaration of war, interest has been transferred to the prospects of the campaign. Two influences are expected to make the war short and sharp. The first i3 the approach of winter; the second is financial pressure. None of the bellig~ erent states Is in a position to stand the strain of prolonged military opera- tions. Bulgaria was disappointed recently in her efforts to raise even a small loan in Paris, while Turkey has been efldeavoring both in New York and Parls to borrow money, but up to the present without success. The financlal resources of the other states concerned are very limited. JACK JOHNSON HAS HYPNOTIZED HER GIRL. Minneapolis Woman Unable to Get Daughter to Leave Chicago, Oct. 17—Jack Johnson, the negro heavyweight champion pugilist appeared before Chief of Police Mc- Weeney today to explain his relations with Miss Lucile Cameron, a 19 year old white girl, daughter of Mrs. F. CameronsFalconet of Minneapolis for whom the police had been asked to search by the mother. In a dramatic appeal Mrs. Cameron- Falconet told of her failure to get her daughter away from the influences of the negro. She described her an- guish when she learned last Friday that her daughter was a frequenter of Johnson's cafe, her hurrled trip here to rescue the girl, her interviews with the pugilist, who she declares, insult- ed her ang flouted her plea that he glve up the girl. Johnson she sald told her he could “get” any woman he gave to the republican fund that year. Mr. Cortelyou sald that when Presi- dent Roosevelt demanded’ that any Standard Oil money be‘returned he was told by Cornelius N. Bliss, treasurer of the company, that no contribution had been' received from the company. The witness said he had a vague rec- to the effect that “no questions should be asked as to individual contribu- tions,” xxd that after the election Mr. Bliss had said something to him about a contribution from H. H. Rogers of the Standard Oil company, which he said may have been the Archbold money. INVESTIGATING ASSAULT. ON HOTEL CLERK PEARCE. Latter Recently Testified in Dynamite Conspiracy Trial.
