Mexican Minister of Foreign Affairs Hands Belgian Minister His Passports HARRISBURG f |®§lsl|| TELEGRAPH LXXXIII — No. 258 DEMOCRATIC MACHINE BEGS STATE LIQUOR LEADER FOR CASH TO HELP ELECT ITS TICKET State Chairman Morris Wants to Put Neil Bonner on the "Roll of Honor" UQUOR BOSS LONG THE FRIEND OF DEMOCRATS Contributed to 1908 Fund; Asked to Use Money and Influence For Democrats Neil Bonner, the acknowledged leader of the liquor forces in Penn sylvania, has been appealed to by Ro land S. Morris, chairman of the Demo cratic State committee, to come to the help of the Palmer-McCormick ma chine in its last desperate effort to elect Vance C. MeCormick Governor of Pennsylvania. Bonner is the individual referred to by Evangelist Stough in a recent at tack upon the liquor interests at Du Bois. The letter which appears herewith is evidently a personal letter, inas much as it mentions the fact that Bon ner was on what Morris calls the "Roll of Honor" in the 1908 campaign and has evidently been regarded as one of those who could always be relied upon to help out with his money and influence in behalf of Democratic candidates. This is shown by the fact that Chairman Morris concludes his appeal for help from the liquor leader in this paragraph: "May I ask you to again enter your name upon the Honor Roll by sending me your contribution to the Demo cratic State campaign fund?" Notwithstanding this anil other let ters of similar import, the Democratic machine bosses are trying in every way to make the friends of local op tion believe that they have no alliance with the liquor interests. Gives 80 Square Inches of His Skin to Save His Friend of a Week Stewart G. Forney, 434 Harris Btreet, gave eighty square inches of his skin yesterday to save the life of Paul S. Erb, the 13-year-old boy who was burned on the Fourth of July while visiting on a farm near Enterline. The operation was performed by Dr. David I. Miller. Mr. Forney did not know the Erb family until a week ago, but he was willing to undergo the operation for the sake ot' his new friend. He did not take an anesthetic. Young Erb is reported resting well this morning and will be able to walk on crutches by Christmas.

My dear Mr. Bonner There is nothing among the archives of the State Commit ee which I prize more highly -than a list which I like to call the Roll of Honor containing the mines of all who contributed to Bryan'a Campaign in 1908 and on which your name appears.

Many of those connected with the movement in 1908 have lived to see their political ideals realized under the leadership of President Wilson and Mr. Bryan. What seemed to be a hopele3S task in Pennsylvania in 1908 is now the most hopeful opportunity that the Democracy has ever had.

MINISTER TO MEXICO, IS GIVEN PASSPORTS Mexican Minister of Foreign Af fairs Says Disrespectful Notes Is Cause By Associated Press Mexico City, Oct. 31.—Paul May, Belgian minister to Mexico, was hand ed his passports yesterday by Minister of Foreign Affairs Fabella. Senor Isa bella declared he was compelled to tal<e this course because of certain aggressive and disrespectful notes di rected to the Mexican government by the Belgian representative. The minister of foreign affairs would say nothing regarding the na ture of the correspondence but it is i believed that the notes referred to the operation by the Mexican government of the property of the Mexico Tram ways Company. The tramways company is capital ized at $60,000,000 in gold and a large percentage of the stock is held by Bel gian capitalists. The Mexican gov ernment took over the property on October 12 after the employes of the road had struck, demanding an in crease in wages. It was understood at the time that the loads would be operated by the government for fifteen days but the government says much a longer period will be necessary before a-i adjustment can be accurately made. Belgian capital to the extent of $50,- 000,000 also is interested because of railway concessions had given during the Huerta regime.

LANDSLIDE IS DUE FOR REPUBLICANS 111 PIADELPI Every Indication Is That the Ticket Will Ee Given Remarkable Vote on Tuesday REST OF THE STATE IN LINE McCormick Will Get the Greatest Surprise of His Life in Small ness of His Vote Special to The Telegraph Philadelphia, Oct. 31. The cam paign of 1914 is practically over and those-in a position to know of the currents and cross-currents of the situation are strongly of the opinion that it is going to be a Republican landslide. While the Democratic ma chine and its allies of the Bull Moose party have brought up all their siege guns and every other weapon, includ ing the hullabaloo demonstration of a former President, their campaign has failed and the mud batteries will be silenced next Tuesday. Inside figures which are before me Indicate a tremendous vote for Dr. Brumbaugh, the Republican candidate for Governor, and a substantial ma jority for Senator Penrose, who has been the center of attack for months. Thousands of Democrats will vote against McCormick by reason of his practical desertion of Palmer in his own selfish interests and his fusion with Pinchot, who has constantly at tacked the Wilson policies for which McCormick pretends to stand. It had been hoped by those in charge of the Democratic machine forces that McCormlck's money would make up for his loss of personal pop ularity, but he has angered so many people that no amount of cash will overcome the widespread resentment. Colonel Roosevelt's whirlwind tour has accomplished little except some stir of enthusiasm among the Bull Moose element, in favor of Pinchot. It is not believed that he has helped the Democratic candidate for Gov ernor, and some believe his insults upon Palmer have actually lessened McCormick's strength among the Democrats. t R. M. C.

I 16 PAGES * POSTSCRIPT Italy Believed to Be Preparing to Take More Definite Stand in War Dispatches Say That Island of Saseno Has Been Occupied by Italian Forces; Battle of Give and Take Along North Sea Continues With Heavy Losses; War Has Not Yet Been Declared Between Turkey and Russia Washington, Oct. 31.—The Turkish minister of finance in formed the French ambassador at Constantinople yesterday that the raid of Turkish warships on Russian seaports took place with out the knowledge of the Ottoman government and pre sumably under the influence of the German officers and crew. This information was conveyed in a dispatch to-day from Am bassador orgenthau to the American government. Mr. Morgenthau added that the Russian ambassador re ceived instructions at 3 a. m. yesterday to demand his passports and made an effort to see the grand vizier who peaded illness and did not receive him. The Russian, French and British ambassadors, according to the same dispatch, are preparing to leave Constantinople together to-night. Ambassador Morgenthau's disatch made no mention of any declaration of war nor internal conditions in Turkey. He prob ably will take over the French and British embassies. 1 lie story of the European war was again slow in the telling to-day but such fragments of news as the censors permitted to pass indicated that along the North Sea, the chief point of preseivt con cern for the nations involved, it was still a battle of give and take. Of immediate interest was a semi-official note from Rome indicat ing that Italy might take a more definite stand in the struggle. It is said that the island of Saseno, commanding the harbor of Avlona, . vlbania, ownership of which has long been disputed by Greece and Italy has been seized by Italian forces. The French war office in to-day's official statement, ac knowledges that the fiercest German onslaught, shifted a few miles to the cast and south from the coast, has met with success at points. Two towns south of Ypres in Belgium, just north of the border are mentioned by the French as having been captured by the Germans. Further east, it is said, some ground has been won by the allies. Along the entire western front, from the sea to Arras the Germans resumed a general offensive movement, following the slackening activity of the last few days, but according to the French war office nothing has been accomplished on either side more than alternate movements of advance and retreat. Further indefinite claims are made of gains at other points along the line which stretches south and east to the Swiss border. No word is spoken to confirm the unofficial statements of last night, that the Germans had evacuated Ostcnd. In the East the battle of millions continues without definite re sult. An Austrian defeat on the East Prussian front is reported by the Russian embassy at Washington. The latest word from the Aus trian government is that reverses have been suffered by the Rus sians at various points in Galicia. READY TO LEAVE CONSTANTINOPLE Turkey's hostile acts against Russia soon may place her at war with all of the allied powers. It was said at the State Department in Washington to-day that diplomatic representatives of these pow ers were preparing to leave Constantinople. The German point of view of the Russo-Turkish war is presented (Continued on Page 9.)
