Interstate Commerce Commission Can’t Compel Extension. Washington, Nov. 12.—Suspension of the work of construction on the south- ern New England extension of the Grand Trunk railway has caused “dis- may” among New England shippers, according to a- telegram received hy the interstate commerce commission from Henry A.

Mr, Barker ap- ends that the vast industries of ¢ England are falling an easy prey to the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, and he appeals to the commission for help, Chairman Prouty today wrote ) Barker pointing out that the commis- sion had no jurisdiction over the con- struction of the Grand Trunk extension and suggesting that if Providence is not enjoying reasonable rates it should make 3 complaint, SITUATION NOT CLEARED, Men Have Unsatisfactory Meeting With Fitzhugh. Boston Boston, Nov. 12—After chamber of | commerce officials had discussed with President E. H, Fitzhugh of the Southern New England railroad the causes of the cessation of work on that railroad, they issued a statément to- night declaring that President Fitz- hugh did not clarify the situation and that he was unable to furnish the facts desired. The executive commit- tee of the chamber decided to send two representatives to Montreal to meet President Chamberlain of the Grand Trunk. Charles J. Hubbard of the committee on transportation and D. O. Ives, manager of the chamber's transportation bureau, left for Mon- treal tonight. Mayor Fitzgerald announced that he has sent a telegram to President Chamberlain inviting him to come to Boston and talk over the situation, WORK 18 EXPENSIVE.

President-elect Wilson to indicate his line of action. “¥ncom- ing democratic statesmen predict that in filllng his cabinet Mr. Wilson will give one place to New York, another to New England, and a third to Ohio, or one of the other states of the mid- dle west. It is the view in congressional cir- cles that at least two of the seats in the cabinet table will be assigned to the south, that one will go to fhe Pacific coast and another to the states immediately west of the Mississippi, including Missouri, Towa, Kansas and Nebraska. With this distribution there ould be left two cabinet offices that might be fllled for the reasons of pe- culiar fitness or expediency. Senator O'Gorman’s name figures promineptly in the talk of cabinet possibilities, and speculation would as- sign him to the department of justice. The availability of William J. Bryan is also much discussed for the depart- ment of state or for attorney general, and one democratic senator has coup- led Mr. Bryan's name with the am- bassadorship to London.

READY FOR OUTBREAK A Landing Force of 2,000 Men Avail- able from International Flest—Rumor That Turkey Has Sought Armistice. ‘Washington, Nov. 12.—A landing force of at least 2,000 men is now available for the international fleet in the harbor of Constantinople, should & Moslem outbreak endanger the lives of the foreigners there. This force is considered by the state department to be fully adequate to meet any emer- gency and any anxiety previously felt for Americans is entirely relieved by assurances made to the department to- day that Russia will assume responsi- bility for the safety of all citizens of the United States in the Turkish cap- ital. Eleven Warships in Harbor. There are at present in the harbor at Constantinople eleven warships— two British, two Russian, two French, two Italian, two Austrian and one German—in addition to the =station ships regularly maintained there by the different powers. Advices to the state department indicate that Con- stantinople remains entirely quiet. TURKEY SEEKS ARMISTICE. Rumor That Bulgaria Has Been Asked to Arrange One. London, Nov, 12—There is no news tonight elther from Sofia or Constinti- nople as to how the great battle at Tchatalja is going. The silence may imply that the Turkish troops are making a better defense than had been expected. On the other hand, it us rumored that Turkey is asking Bul- garia to arrange an armistice. In the other fields of the war opera- tions the progress of the allies is slow. The Servians and Greeks have not vet reached Monastir, where, it is reported, All Riza Pasha, the ex- Turkish minister of war, has 50,000 troops prepared to offer a vigorous re- sistance. The Montenegrins have suffered a setback in their prolonged -efforts to capture Scutari, largely owing to the defection of the Malissori tribes, who demand guarantees of Albanian inde- pendence. The Greek advance in the direction of Janina also appears to be retarded. It is probable that the weather conditions have much to do with the slow progress. In the diplomatic field no fresh de- velopment is reported. Important con- ferences ocontinue at Budapesj, where the ex-premier of Rumania, P. P. Carp, arrived today with a letter from King Charles to Emperor Francis Jo- seph. In most of the European capitals a more hopeful feeling is displayed that peace will not be disturbed by the Austro-Servian difficulties.® Montenegrins Evacuate Alesso. ov. 12—A Vienna despatch Daily Telegram says that after desperate battle the Montenegrins have been compelled to evacuate Ales- o and the port of San Glovanni de Medua.

ETTOR REPEATS HIS SPEECHES IN COURT. Declares That He Always Counseled Against Violenoe. Salem, Mass, Nov. 12.—Defending himself against a charge that he was an accessory before the fact to the killing of Anna Lopizzo during the Lawrence textile strike last winter, Joseph J. Ettor, leader of that indus- trial conflict, today faced the jury which is trying him, together with Arturo Giovannitti and Joseph Caruso, for the crime. Ettor was on the stand for several hours, repeating to the jury his recol- lections of addresses he made to the strikers, detailing incidents of the struggle and the conferences with the mill owners and authorities.

Instead of being sentenced, Municipal Judge Backus appointed five alienists to act as a part of his court in determining the would-be slayer’s mental condition. The court’s action was-the first such practiced in Wisconsin criminal pro- cedure. Eliminates Fight of Medical Experts. “I have determined,” said the court, “upon this course because of the cus- tomary condition evoked by jury trials of sanity. I have noted In such trials the medical witnesses for the prosecu- tlon are matched by me: witnesses for the defense in contradictory opin- fons that leave the lay minds of the court and the jury more confused than before, and at a huge expense. “The law gives me power to deter- mine for myself. But I have summon- ed you gentlemen to be physicians of the court, a part of the fabric of the court, -to examine the defendant, Schrank, and report on his mental condition, regardless of “the resul Schrank Pleads Guilty. “How do you plead to this charg the prosecutor asked the prisoner, standing at his elbow. “Why, guilty, Mr. Zabel,” replied the prisoner in a confused way, as though he was not sure he was following the proper procedure. “You have heard the complaint,” in- terrupted Judge Backus in a loud voice. “You understand that in it you are charged with having attempted to murder Theodore Roosevelt? Do you plead guilty or not guilty?” Shot Him as a Warning. “I did not mean to kill a citizen, judge,” began Schrank. “I shot Theo- dore Roosevelt because he was a menace to the country. He should not have a third term. It is bad that a man should have a third term. 1 @id not want him to have one.

I think all ,men trying to keep themselves in office should be killed: they become dangerous. I did not do it because he was a candidate of the progressive party, efther, gentlemen,” he concluded. “The man {s insane,” said the dis- trict attorney. “It would be wrong to sentence him for a crime if he was mentally unsound, fust because he was willing to plead guilty.” Roosevelt Won’t Be Summoned. James G. Flanders, a leading Mil- waukee attorney, appointed to repre- sent Schrank in the sanity Inquisition, had two brief talks with his cllent to- day.

The procedure will be that, it Schrank be found mentally unsound, he, standing beneath a plea of guil of attempted murder, will be held as an insane eriminal until he has recov- ered, if he does recover, when the pun- ishment, based on his plea, will be named by the eourt of conourrent jurisdiction, just as though there had not pgssed an interim In which Schrank wes held as insane. Cannet Escape Penalty of His Crime. The court made it clear that the as- sailant of the former president would net, by the sanity commission’s finding, be in a position to escape sentence under his plea of guilty, or sentence under & jury determination if at a fu- ture date, sanity having been restored, Schrank should demand o jury trial and be found guilty. If found insane, the defendant will remain a ward of the court. | SURGEONS WITNESS A QUICK OPERATION. Patlent’s Stomach Wall Removed and Stomach Sewed in 75 Minutes. New York, Nov. 12.—A new operat- ing record, so far as avallable data goes, was set today in connection with the third annual clinical congress of surgeons of North America in session here. No less than 175 clinics were held, with more than 800 operations and demonstrations for the benefit of | the upwards of 2,200 delegates who are attending the congress. It was offi- cially stated that the congress now constituted the largést body of sur- geons that had ever met in the history of_the world. The day's demonstrations at the va- rious clinics ran the gamut of ordi- nary surgical operations, but included as well & number of notable demon- strations of surgical skill. Much in- terest was displayed by a large assem- bly of surgeons in a clinic held in Bellevue hospital, where part of a pa- tlent's stomach wall and four feet of intestine were removed and the stom- ach was sewed up in 75 minutes. average time for such an operation is from two to three hours.
