UPRISINGINGREECE
'UNCONFIRMED REPORTS DE.
CLARE REVOLUTION HAS
BROKEN OUT IN EMPIRE.
- -
CABINET STRIFE IS CRISIS
,
Capital , Said to Be Seat of War , Fails
. - to Respond to Inquiries Made From
Paris-Rumor King George Flees
Been' Brewing for More Than Y'-ar. :
,
ParIs.-Unconfirmed advices stated
that a revolution , sweeping the entire
empire , broke out at Athens Thurs
day and that King George and , the
royal family fled for safety.
Efforts to get into telegraphic com
o munication with Athens failed.
The revolution , if it has started , is
an echo of the internal troubles with
the military league one year ago.
There has been much ill feeling at
Athens recently against the national
assembly , culminating in the dissolu
tion of that body last Tuesday. The
assembly was especially elected for
the purpose of undertaking a revision
of the constitution. ,
At the request of King George , M. :
Venezelos , the Cretan leader , formed
a cabinet October 18. The ministry
was not received in a friendly spirit
by the chamber , the members of
which repeatedly absented themselves
when Premier Venezelos attempted to
secure a vote of confidence.
The' premier , discouraged , an-
nounced the resignation of the cab-
inet October 23. King George , how-
ever , refused to accept the resigna-
tion , and Monday the chamber adopt-
ed a vote of confidence in the premier
by a ballot of 208 to 31. .
The premier was not satisfied , fear-
Ing that it was a vote of complaisance
rather than sincere support , and in-
sisted that the assembly be dissolved. .
He had his way and November 28 was
set as the date for the elections for a
new revisionist chamber.
Opposed to the recent assembly was
the ministry , cordially supported by
the king and the populace.
Berlin.-An unconfirmed rumor was
circulated on the Boerse Thursday
that a revolution had broken out at
Athens. The fact that telegrams-of
Inquiry sent to the Grecian capital re
mained unanswered was taken as par
tial confirmation of the truth of the
reports.

ETHEL CLARE LENEVE FREE
Girl Companion of Dr. Crippen , Sen-
tenced to Death , Acquitted of
Charge as Accessory.
London. - Eth ° l Clare Leneve was
acquitted Tuesday as an accessory
after the fact in the murder of Belle
Elmore by Dr. Hawley H. Crippen.
The trial lasted but three hours. .
It was for love of Miss Leneve that
Dr. H. H. Crippen , now under death
sentence , murdered his wife. The
crown counsel , Richard Muir , failed
to snow that Miss Leneve had knowl-
edge of either the American's inten-
tion or of the crime itself.
No witnesses were called by the de
fense. Immediately upon the conclu-
sion of the speech of Miss Leneve's
attorney , F. E. Smith , Justice Alver-
stone delivered his charge to the jury
and they retired , returning in twenty-
two minutes with a verdict of ac
quittal.
Miss Leneve's slim , girlish figure
was the center of interest as she stood
before the bar and , in a sweet , low
voice , replied to the court's interroga-
tlon as to how she would plead :
"Not guilty , my lord ! "

NADIAN CITY IN FAIRLY
GOOD SHAPE.
BIG CROWD WELCOMES THEM
Salloonists Tell of Hardships They En-
dured in Struggles Through Forests
and Wilderness - One Was Injured ,
Making Travel Slow.
Quebec , Que.-Looking somewhat
fatigued from the several days' hard
ship succeeding their sensational
flight through space , which won for
them the coveted trophy of the world's
greatest conquerors of the air , Alan R.
Hawley and Augustus Post disem
'
barked from the Quebec & St. JohnI
train in the old historic city of Quebec
Thursday night .
The United States consul was there
to greet them , as well as a number of
enthusiastic citizens who cheered them
lustily.
Their balloon , the America II , is
still at Lake du Banc de Sable , the
township in which they landed. It
is believed that Joseph Pednaud and
Joseph Simard , two trappers who
brought the balloonists in a bark
canoe to St. Ambroise , will go . baclt :
and see what can be done J to get the1
big bag from its cache on the side of
the mountain to the railroad here.
Messrs. Hawley and Post landed
about 46 hours after their departure
from St. Louis. The balloon basket
touched earth at 3:35 the afternoon of
October 19. They probably flew about
1,600 miles , although the direct dis
tance between the two points , on
which the international race Is de
cided , is only 1,355 miles. This would
make their average rate of progress
about 35 miles an hour.

JURY PROBES TREASURY STEAL
_
"
CALLS OVER FIFTY WITNESSES
IN $173,000 CASE.
Removal of U. S. Marshal at Chicago
Bring New Developments in
Mysterious Theft.
Chicago.-It was developed that the
federal grand jury has been for
some time seeking evidence on
which to base new indictments against
certain persons who are believed to
have been accomplices after the fact
with George W. Fitzgerald , the former
paying teller at the Chicago subtreas-
ury. and now under indictment on the
$173,000 = : : robbery of that institution.
More than fifty witnesses have been
called before the grand jury in the
past few days. Many of these were
employes of banking and business
houses supposed to have had dealings
'with Fitzgerald.
Books of the Northern Trust com-
pany are said to have been taken be-
fore the grand jury on the statements
of witnesses that they believed Fitz
gerald had a deposit there.
New evidence which has developed
since the arrest of Fitzgerald also has
been presented before the grand jury ,
and witnesses have been asiced to re
late their accounts of deals with him
as a preliminary to their testimony in
court.
Attorney E. R. Litzinger , who repre- I
sents Fitzgerald , " claims the present
calling of witnesses shows a weakness
in the government's case and an effort
to bolster it up. This is denied by
District Attorney Edwin W. Sims , wht
claims the government had a strong
and conclusive case at the time it re
turned the secret indictment against
Fitzgerald lust February , just before
the statute of limitations expired. .
A new scandal promises to crop out
in connection with the case in ' the
plot to discredit Marshal Eberstein ,
the government's chief investigator ,
who collected much of the evidence
against Fitzgerald. Eberstein has been
superseded as chief investigator for
the Department of Justice by Charles
F. De Woody.
VICTORIA , B. C. FIRE SWEPT
Flames In Business District Destroy
Many Fine Structures-Loss
$1,500,000 to $2,000,000.
Victoria , B. C.-Fire , which started
late Wednesday night and burned with
unabated fury , swept through the heart
of the city's business section , wiping
out several of the finest buildings and
causing a loss estimated at $1,500,000
to $2,000,000. Huge firebrands float-
ed on the high wind , which swept
toward the water front , and it was
with great difficulty that the firemen ,
aided by the militia and the garrison
at Work Point barracks , kept the
flames from sweeping a broad path to
the edge of the water.
Many blazing embers were carried
out over the bay , endangering the
shipping in the harbor.
Among the buildings burned were
the Victoria Times office and the Five
Sisters building , a five-story office
block. The five-story Pemberton build
ing and the Drlard hotel were threat
ened , both were saved. :
Fire Loss Was $15,000,000.
WashIngton.-Six billion board feet
of lumber , valued at about $15-
000,000 , was destroyed In the re
cent forest fires upon the national for-4
ests in Montana and northern Idaho.
The total area burned over in this one
district was put at 1,250,000 acres.
The first rough estimate of the fire
loss in the great district was completed
"
by officials of the government forest
service.

posed of , leaving the two nations for
the first time in many years without
a single diplomatic hitch between
them.
Because of this state of affairs and
for the reason that his acceptance of
the Turkish ambassadorship was
based on the representation that his
services were needed to restore har-
mony between the two governments ,
Mr. Strauss feels that his mission has
been accomplished and there is no
further reason for him to expatriate
himself. He has not resigned his post
and If the president Insists upon it
Mr. : Strauss will return to Constanti-
nople at the end of his sixty days'
leave of absence.
RUIN WROUGHT BY CYCLONE
Believed 100 Lives Lost in Storm ,
Tidal Wave and Volcanic Erup-
tion in Southern Italy.
Rome.-The extent of the havoc
wrought Monday : by the strange ele
mental combination of cyclone , tidal
wave and volcanic eruption on the
slopes of Vesuvius and on the island
of Ischia , has not yet been definitely
determined , owing to the interruption
of communication. .
One hundred persons are said to
have been killed. The monetary loss
will probably be great.
The disaster appears to have come
in the form of a cyclone , having three
centers , the first over the island of
Ischia , the second over the town of
Torre del Greco on the east coast of
the Bay of Naples , and the third
sweeping the gulf of Salerno.
Accompanying the cyclone were a'
cloudburst , a tidal wave and violent
eruptions from Mount : Vesuvius and
from a crater suddenly opened on the
summit of the long extinct * Mount
Epomeo on the island of Ischia.
Many houses collapsed in this city ,
due to the subsidence of the surface
of the earth during the recent vol
canic eruptions , and thirty feet of
mud covers ma/iy of the roads in the
outlying districts.
The inhabitants fled to the higher
parts of the island , and those who
escaped the rush of water are report-
ed to be suffering from hunger and ex
posure. The Italian minister of the
Interior has been appealed to for relief
measures.
Ischia Is an island almost directly
west of the city of Naples in the Med-
iterranean sea. The storm which
caused the wave has broken communi-
cation and details are lacking.
It is reported that shipping was
damaged and many boats lost. Prop-
erty damage in Casainicciola was
heavy.
