A Turkish Officer Who Was Captured. 1

Describes the Brave Heroic Fight <
of the hungry Turkisfi Boldlers [
Against the Fiery Bulgarian Mon- i

A special cable dispatch to the New J
York World from Vienna says Lieut. ,
.Wagner, the Reichpost correspondent(
at the front, wires his paper as fol-j
loi.-o .I--, headquarters of the (
Bulgarian army: 1
'Hie uiiucii against the Turkish 1
centre on both sides of Chatalja and
the advance in the north are making 1
favorable progress. In the last few '
days the Turks have been driven from '
all advanced positions, but the beginning
of (he main attack is delayed
for a couple of days. This is due to a
heavy rain which has lasted for sev
?r;n (lays, causing auncuities in
bringing up ammunition and the
drawing of refnforcements and heavy
artlliefy from Vlrianople. The fighting
is all very violent. I had a talk
with Malor Nahll Hey, who was cap- 1
tured during the last sortie at Adrlanople
and wounded in the left hreast
with a spl'nter from a shell. He told
me: I
During the last days the flre of the
heavy Bulgarian guns wero unendur-J
able in Adrianople. In front of the
In trench men 9 the earth was furrowed
to the depth of a yard. Owing to
the sunerior range of the enemy's (
guns our artillery was unable to
reach them and we decided upon a
flight, attack with fourteen battalions '
from Karng'us. | ;
"It was a dismal night and the
storm bowled. ** had heen a dull,1

had been lying in the wet and mud of
the trenches. Twice the oroer was
given to advance and twice counter>

nerves for the officers to explain the
withdrawal of the orders to the
grumbling men who. two days de-|
tached fro .1 the northeast, had only.
-eaten b'scuits soaked In hot water. I
"When the third order to advance
came the men were tired and numb,

down, deaf to the orders of the oTrers.

we came in contact with the Hulgarlan
outnosts. At first there were a
few iRolntel shots to the right and
left from the trenches; then suddenTy
as thouph these shots had kindled a '
vast explosion, we saw a ITne of firo
-o^noRite and the Pulgarlan attacked
liko a raelng monster.
"The very first shots fell In oir
ranks. This night battle was terr*- 1

the field artillery blustered. We were
uncertain of lho Rtreneth and dlrec-i

. A Washington dispatch says general
approval was voioed In Democratic
circles over President-elect Wilson's
decision to call an extra session of
Congress to revise the tariff. The
announcement was in line with tne
almost universal recommendation of
Senate and House leaders, and it met
Instant response from Speaker Clark,
Senator Williams, Wiliiani .T. Hryan
and from Senator Dixon, Col. Roosevelt's
campaign manager.
Some Repulbican sentiment opposed
to the spocial session was apparent
among members in the Capital that
night. Although the White Housn
would not comment upon the announcement
from New York, friends
of the latter had hoped the Democrats
would not bring on any further
disturbances of business. Senator
McCumbor, of North Dakota. Republican,
expressed another Republican
view, namely, that ho favored "getting
it over with."
In all Democratic circles tho extra
session was strongly approved
Congress will begin in a few weeks
preparing for tho nrdous work of another
tariff revision. Tne approaching

with annual appropriation bills and
routine business, but tho ways and
means committee of the House will
begin work on the new bills in Jan-,
uary. J
Democratic Leader Underwood, j
ihairman of the ways and means committee,
is expected in Washington
next week. Members of this committee,
chnrged with the duty of framing
all tariff bills, agree with the posit on
token by Phesident-elect Wilson that
repeated investigations of tariff
schedules have made naoessnry a long
Investigation.
The ways and means cnmmlttoe
will begin January probably upon the
wool, cotton or metal tariff buls. If
tho plan adopted wn m the Democratic
House began work two years
asm, revising tho tariff schedule by
schedule, Is adhered to, it is expected
that several bills will l>e ready for
introduction in the Hoiue as soon as
the special seccion convenes.
William J. Hryan, when informed
of Governor Wilson's announcement,
said: "I am very glad to h -uir that
Governor Wilson has determined to
coll an extra session. It was the wise
thing to do. I expected that it would
bo done."
Renntor. John J?harp Williams, of
Mississippi, long Democratlcleaderof
the House and a Democratic leader in
the Rennte. said: "I think we would
be stultifying ourselves 11 arier puiting
the revision bills up to a Repub-j
Pcnn President, as wo did to President
Taft last session, we should fati
to show our purpose of putting up
those necessary revision bills to a
Democratic President. Perhaps some
nmendmnts may be tuggested at; the
evtra session to those bills to revise
the tariff that already have passed
Congress In the light of any information
that mav have In the meantime
developed. The sooner the tariff legislation
can bo accomplished the better
it will be for all concerned."
Senator Dlxson, of Montana, chairman
of the Progressive national committee,
said: "T think Wilson has
lone the wise thing In calling an extra
session."
"Will the Democrats receive the
Bupnort of the Progressives in revlsng
the tariff?" Mr. Dlxson was asked.
"That will depend upon their performances,'
he said.
"There are about twenty-five Progressive
members of the House who
will caucus separately and be a separate
political entity and no doubt
fhey will be glad to support the Wrll'on

Hi BATTLE BASES
T0EIS fKIT HARD TO SATE CONSTANTINOPLE
CAUSE SEEM HOPELESS
The Turks Rt'ly on Fear of l>eadly
Cholera to I'revent the Bulgarians
Entering Constantinople, But the
Booming of the Guns of the Invaders
Can Be Heard in the City.
A cable dispatch from Constantinople
says the great battle between the
Bulgarians and Turks is on all along
the line of the Tchatalja fortifications.
Nazim Pasha, the Turkish
commander-in-chief, sends the following
dispatch:
"The battle which commenced Sunday
morning with an attack on Bulgarian
infantry, lasted until one hour
after sunset. The enemy, who advanced
chiefly facing our right wing
and our centre, was repulsed by our
infantry and artillery fire. Three
Bulgarian batteries were destroyed."
All through the day the sound of
heavy guns was heard in Constantinople.
It ceased only with darkness.
The firing along the entire line was
evidently preparatory to an infantry
attack.
The Turkish batteries replied vigorously.
The Turkish ships in the
Sea of Marmora shelled the Bulgarian
nositions. Undoubtedly the fleet
in the Black Sea also tooK part in
ho engagement, though details from
that point are lacking.
In the afternoon the wind shifted,
and it seomod for a tlmo as though
he battle had ended, but again the
booming was heard, and the movement
of troops could bo observed not
far from the gatos to the Capital. A
detachment of several thousand from
the Tchatal'a lines was replaced by
fresh troops, who had been hold tn
reserves near the city.
The refugees behind tho lines began
breaking camp early in the day
and moved back toward Constantinople.
The Greek villagers heretofore
had remained admirably indifferent
to events, prepared to desert
their homes. While calm prevailed
hero was a deadly tension in tho
knowledge that tho fate of tho Capital.
the Turkish army and those who
waited anxiously" in Constantinople
was at stako.
Several members of the legations
and other foreign residents witnessed
tho artillery duel, which they described
as "magnificent", on tho Sea
of Marmora, and the shelling from

Lake and over the plains towards
the north. The flashes of the
guns on both aides were visible to
observers over miles of low country.
Within the city every military precaution
was taken. Pickets were
posted at various points and patrols
puarded the streets. The ambassadors
held a meeting at the foreign
ministry with the commanders of the
Ottoman Gendarmerie and devised
measures for the safety of foreigners.
Thero are now more than a thousand
cases of cholera dally in and
around Constantinople and the death
rate has reached 5 0 per cent. The
authorities aro powerless to cope
with the situation.
On Thursday last 3.000 cholera patients
arrived at Ran Stefano. Th?y
would have been brought to Constantinople,
hut for the protests or
the railway company and the Austrian
ambassador, who ask^d that
hey be sent to the Lazarettos, at
Pecos and Ismidt.
For twenty-four hours the patients
remained in the train on a siding at
San Rtefano without water, food or
medical attention. Then they were
shipped to the quarantine station. If
! they had been of the lower order of
animals they could not have been
more neglected.
Saturday a foreign doctor assisting
In (lie military hospital discover

of cholera had boon placed among
fhe wounded. He ordorod TTietr removal.
Hearers took up the dying
men on their shoulders, hut their
condition was such that he ordered
the hearers to drop them. This they
llterallv did. and the unfortunates
were left lying In the mud for an
hour, groaning and In convulsions,
before they were removed on stretchers.
An extraordinary feature of conditions
behind the Turkish lines at
Chatalja la the Indifference of the
army to the presence of unauthorized
TlRltors. Any foreigner wearing

A special from, Charleston to T&e
State says three divisions of the Atlantic
fleet arrived in' port early Sunday
afternoon, being welcomed by a
crowd of many thousand people who
lined the battery and the wharves as
the big ships came into the harbor
and proceeded to their anchorage
ground, it was a magnificent sight
to see the ocean leviathans as they
steamed into port in single column
formation, the somber business-like
gxay color being lightened by the display
of the .flags of the various fleet
and ship officers and the signal colors
as they floated in the breeze.
The ships came through the new
straight channel with a neap tide* and
a north wind which did not add to
the depth of water, yet there was an
abundance of water. The North
Dakota and the Utah, the heaviest
draft ships, drawing 29.4 and 28.5
feet, respectively, came through the
new straight channel which Is projected
to take the place of the Cummlngs
point range, with its two
turns.
The ships required no easing and
thnt there was more than 34 feet at
the minimum depth spoke well for
the harbor, and. the fact was freely
commented upon by the officers. The
dredging of the channel is still under
way and will prove especially useful
to long big draft ships.
Rear Admiral Osterhaus was officially
visited by the committee on
reception Sunday afternoon. The
party was very cordially received
aboard and entertained in the
admiral's cabin. It was a particular
pleasure to many of the committee
to meet Capt. W. S. Henson,
commanding officer of the ship, who
is well known there, he having been
ror a coupio or yearn inspector 01 me
lighthouse department, and ho was
as well pleased to meet his Charleston
friends. The committee used II.
P. Williams' launch, Vadie.
The only visitors to the ships Sunday
afternoon were those having business
of an official character. Resides
the committee on reception. Col
Ludlow of the army post and Commandant
Helm of the Charleston
navy yard visited the vessels, paying
their respects.
The water front was literally
black with people and the harbor
was alive with moving craft of every
description. It is estimated that not
less than 25,000 saw the ships at
anchor Sunday evening. Their
launches were moving freely between
the wharves and the city, several
thousand seamen nro on the
street and they are having a lively
time in celebrating their leave.
Charleston is already rapidly filling
up with visitors. The hotel lobbies
are lively places, and thero are many
strangers on the streets.
The Fair opened at 9:30 o'clock
Monday with an address by Mayor
Grace and the round of festivities

SHOT ON HIGHWAY

MULE SHOT TO PIECES
0 * m :
Suspecto Trailed by Bloodhounds and
Arrested ? Confession Implicates
Nino Others, Whites and Blacks?
Intended Victim Escapes From
Bullets by Taking Refuge in Foot
of Buggy.
A special from Aiken to Tko News
and Courier says run down Saturday
night, with Ave bloodhounds
lroni the State penitentiary, and
lodged behind the bars of the Aiken
County jail Sunday morning, three
negioes. Koxey Cantt, Washington
Kennedy and Vance Quattlebaum,
nave, it. is said, made confession to
participation in an ambuscade Saturday
night, between 7 and 8 o'clock,
seven miles of Ridge Springs, in the
Edisto Swamp, when Sam Berry, a
prosperous colored farmer of that
section, was waylaid and made tlie
target of a fisillade of bullets from
probably more than a dozen shotguns.
Berry, who was driving in a
ouggy, concealed himself In the foot
of his vehicle, as soon pb the firing
began, and sustained no wounds, but
bis mule, rearing and charging, and
breaking away from the velocity of
ihp RhnnMnc. ur:iA litornllv shot to
pieces.
In confessing, it is said, the three
incarcerated negroes implicate nine
others, four prominent white men
and fivo negroes. The white men are
Daniel Williamson, Ted H. Dubose,
Jim Barton and Arleigh Gregory, the
latter a son of Mr. John Gregory,
and a nephew of Mr. Giles Gregory,
who is magistrate of that Aiken
County district. The negroes are
Harry and Bristow Mason, Lewis
Thomas and Richard and Arthur
Ken ner.
Warrants was issued through Magistrate
W. M. Smoak Sunday morning
for the arrest of these other men,
and Sheriff Raborn, Rural Policemen
Musco Samuels and S. E. Holley, accompanied
by tho posse who Saturday
night ran down the threo negroes
and lodged them in jail. Returned
to the Ridgy section in an automobile
at noon Sunday.
Sam Berry, the victim of the ambuscade,
came to Aiken with the
posse who brought in the first squad
of prisoners, and in an interview with
The News and Courier correspondent
obtained from Berry, the prisoners
and the members of the posse, they|
all agree virtually as to the general
details of the affray. From the essential
alleged details gathered
through an extended interview, it
seemed that Saturday night about 7
o'clock, a party, armed and prepared
for their work, gathered 'n and about
a bridge or mill dam over which Berry
was to cross that night as he drove
to his home, which was situated some
r <1 ^ 1. 4 M J ? i J ? i x 1
iour or n vu it u 11 u r?"u yiuuo oisiani.
Lying down in the deep grass, or concealing
themselves in the dense
shrubbery and behind trees, tho men
waited.
About 7:30, Berry, driving a niuloj
and buggy, came driving up at a
leisurely pace. As he approached the
immediate vicinity of the ambuscade
the mulo appeared to he apprehensive
of some danger lurking in the shadows,
grew restive and paused several
times, and with each halt Berry applied
the lash and urged the mule
forward but lust as the animal came
abreast of the lino of ambush ho
swerved and lunged away. Simultaneously
with this move there rang
out a cry of "Halt! Halt!" and tho
fusillade followed. Berry slipped Into
the foot of his buggy and avoided
the missiles, but. as Ptated above,
the mule was riddled with lead.
The alarm was given in short order,
and mainly through the efforts
of the negro attacked live bloodhounds
from the State penitentiary
were carried to the scene by Guard I
G. Bobbins, in an automobile driven
by E. C. McCreary, of Columbia. As
they came through Ridge Sprin*
Messrs. Bobbins and McCreary picked
up Mr. L. Cumber, a deputy, drove
on the the scene of the shooting and
placed the dogs 011 the trail, having
arrived within one hour and fifteen
nilnnlno nl'tnr thnv rprnlvort tho lr<.
formation nnd having driven fifty
miles. The dogs took up the trail
nnd after a Ion? chase of about t\v? 11ty-two
miles, back and forth through
the swamp lands trnd stubby undergrowth,
tho throe negroes previously
referred to were run to earth, confessed.
It Is said, and implicated the
others named.
The motive for the attack is obBctre.
Berry claims that it was simply
the result of a long standing prejudice;
that orce he informed the
whites of that vicinity that members
nf a negro secret order carried an arsenal
in their quarters and planned
(ho extermination of the whites, and
that ever s'ijoo the negro?s have held
i grudge against him; further, that
there have been differences which
r ore the outgrowth of a letter school
fight amon?: <hr? blacks. Put there is
vild to he still another side, which
may hold the real motive at stake

bill, coveting many or all schedules
of the tariff law, to be framed as
