The Republican campaign managers are today planning an aggressive campaign to be opened next Tuesday night at a meeting at Congressman Calder's home clubhouse in the Twelfth Assembly District.

The keynote of the campaign, however, will be sounded tomorrow afternoon at the Union League Club in James C. Cropsey's speech of acceptance.

Registration and enrollment of Republicans must be largely increased, the issues must be squarely put and strongly urged before the voters by means of meetings to be held and literature to be got circulated. out and Every the vote count possible carefully must watched on Election Day.

Some Confusion May Result Until Subscribers Become Used to the Changed Conditions. When the next edition of the telephone directory is issued, about November 15, it is probable that hundreds of Brooklyn subscribers will find that they are listed in new exchanges under new numbers. While the changes that are said to be in contemplation will not affect phone users in the central section of the borough, it is more than likely people living in certain sections of Flatbush, Bay Ridge, Canarsie, East New York and Greenpoint will have to accustom themselves to a new order of things. At the office of the telephone company it was admitted that a number of changes were being considered, but that definite information on the subject would not be ready for several days. The Eagle has learned upon what is considered good authority that the new exchanges will be known as Midwood, Sunset, Canarsie, Cypress and Hunter's Point.

The first named, is said, will include a portion of Flatbush. The Canarsie station will probably take in some subscribers who are now connected with the Flatbush and East New York exchanges. Cypress will, it is said, take in all of the East New York service lying east Cleveland street to the old city line, and as far south as Jamaica Bay. The new Hunter's Point central will, it is Mistake in a part of Greenpoint and Long City. These, are in great part, residential districts, and the rumored changes will affect for the most part householders rather than business men.

Some of the oldest subscribers to the telephone service, many of them having a And taken telephones it it hard from to were the a become very rarity, accustomed will beginning, to probably when the change, and undoubtedly some little confusion will result until people become accustomed to the new conditions. If the names chosen are correct--and there is no reason to doubt will be seen that the usual plan has been followed of having the name of the exchange indicate A8 nearly 88 possible the section in which the exchange is located.

ESTAR OVER HALF A CENTURY TURKEY HEEDS THREAT DELIVERED BY RUSSIA Told That Heavy Responsibility Would Follow Seizure of Corn-Laden Ships. ITALIAN WRITERS EXPELLED. Ottomans Start Campaign to Inculcate Hatred for Italy and to Wage Economic War.

St. Petersburg, October 13-The text of the Russian note to Turkey regarding the free export of Russian corn was made public today. In reply to a verbal remonstrance Turkey had sald that she intended to act according to the declaration of London of 1909. As this was considered unsatisfactory to Russia this government presented a written demand wherein it was pointed out that Russia, basing her position upon the declaration of Paris of 1856 and articles 24 and 33 of the declaration of London, considered that cargoes of corn were subject neither to arrest nor confiscation when addressed to Russian ports in the Black Sea or to Italian ports so long as the cargoes were not destined for the Italian field forces or Italian official consignees. The note concludes: "Any attempt to arrest and confiscate the above mentioned cargoes Russia will regard as a violation of the rights of Russia and the government gives warning of the heavy responsibility Turkey will incur in such circumstances." Turkey has not replied, but as ships with corn have not been molested it is presumed that the Ottoman government intends to observe article 34 the declaration of London.

Article 24 of the Declaration of London describes articles including foodstuffs and grain, which may be treated as conditional contraband of war. Article 33 explains "conditional as articles liable to capture if shown to be destined to be used for the purposes of a war in progress. A Article 34 sets forth that the destination referred to in the preceding article is presumed to exist if the shipments are consigned to an enemy or the contractor of an enemy, but where these presumptions do not arise, the destination is presumed to be innocent. Constantinople, October 13-The Government today the expulsion within twenty-four tourderedrs of all Italian correspondents in Constantinople. A society has been organized to wage an economic war against Italy.

All Ottomans are asked to sign a declaration undertaking on oath to cease all dealings with Italians. The newspapers indorsing this campaign advise Ottomans to inculcate the young with a hatred for Italy and Italians. A prize court has been formed to deal with the captures of war which up to the present time include two tramp steamere, a yacht, a motorboat and a number of tugs, lighters and steam launches. SCHWAB GOT MONEY EASILY. Now He Is Charged With Robbing Slot Machines.

Charged with having stolen two slot machines, Henry Schwab, 34 years old, who gave his occupation as boatman and who has no home, was held today in the Coney Island court by Magistrate Geismar in $1,000 bail for the Grand Jury. Schwab was arrested by Detective Callanan of the Bath Beach station. It is alleged that the two slot machines and their contents, money, chewing gum and chocolate, valued at $47, were taken by Schwab from in front of the International Hotel, at Cropsey avenue and Bay Thirty-ninth street, on Sunday evening last. Testimony was given by William Eckenbrahl of 522 Seventy-third street to the effect that Schwab told him about 10 o'clock on Sunday evening that he was "broke" and wanted to borrow a lamp. When he returned the lamp Eckenbrahl says Schwab showed him $1.60 and several pieces of chewing gum.

He refused to say where he had gotten them. The next morning both slot machines were found in a vacant lot, broken open. Schwab pleaded not guilty. POOR PAY FOR GRAND JURORS. Kings County Talesmen Get Less Than Those Elsewhere.

Kings Co. grand jurors have to serve for one-third less than the compensation fixed in some other counties of the State, according to Judge Dike's information this morning, which he put before the grand jurors in excusing them from further work until Monday. The Grand Jury, the first in many years to serve for two months. reported the usual number of criminal indictments against persons accused of crimes, and several of the indicted pleaded guilty. "I am glad you are to continue as grand jurors," said Judge Dike, after the arraignments.

"I am sorry, however, to learn that in Kings County those serving as grand jurors get less than one-! third what those who do similar service up the State or in Manhattan receive. I shall be glad of the opportunity to go fore the Board of Estimate and His Honor, Mayor Gaynor, and see whether the matter of pay cannot be equalized." WILKIE ON SECRET TRIP. Eagle Bureau, 608 Fourteenth Street. Washington, October 13-It was stated at the Treasury Department today that John E. Wilkie, chief of the secret service, was sailing from New York for.

Europe today. There is mystery as to his mission, the officials of the Secret Service Bureau declining to give any particulars concerning it. TAFT MAKES A PLEA FOR HONDURAN LOAN Answers Objections in Senate to Approval of Central American Treaties. NO OBLIGATION INVOLVED. Treaties Will Prevent Recurrence of Revolutions and Benefit Us in Trade.

Sacramento, October 13-President Taft, previous to his departure Francisco today, delivered an address in which he referred to the Honduran and Nicaraguan and the Monroe doctrine. His speech In part follows: The craving for some effective means of promoting peace not 80 much out of actual war as the desperagrows, tion with which the great nations are increasing the stupendous burden of armies and armament, making Europe an armed camp, with the growing menace of bankruptcy. fact is that we have had very little war in the last twenty-five years, and one of the reasons has been the rivalry in preparation for war and the certainty of financial disaster to some nations which must follow. Among these great nations there is the conservatism of domestic stability and the lation. law-abiding Universal character of the arbitration poputreaties of for such countries are of the highest importance as probably furnishing a means by which all may be induced ultimately to reduce their armaments, when it shall become apparent that arbitration 1g a real and practical substitute for war.

not, therefore, minimize the importance such treaties the ultimate cause of peace; but I wish to point out that at present wars chiefly arise, not between well-ordered nations having well-armed, well-recruited and well-disciplined forces, but out of internecine strife. They grow out of the rebellion or revolution of part of a people against the constituted authority of the other part. They proceed from the lack of stability of government and cupidity and the ambition of partisan leaders among the people. Honduras and Nicaragua are now the two countries most exposed to these internal dissensions. In Honduras there have been seven revolutions in Atteen years.

Its teritory reaches from ocean to ocean, and its neutrality is rarely preserved when its neighbors are at war. These conditions necessitate the keeping up, at great expense, of Its army. General arbitration treaties can have little influence over countries subJect to these conditions. The lesson of Santo Domingo has suggested a similar solution of the difficulties of Honduras, Nicaragua and some of the other countries of Central America. Her people are poor and on the verge of starvation in a land that ought to be blossoming with prosperity, and she has turned to us as a philanthropic guardian of the small countries of our continent to assist in the adjustment of her foreign debt, to improve the collection of her taxes -in a word, to follow the course taken in Santo Domingo.

The Honduras Loan. A contract for the loan has been made between the Government of Honduras and four of our prominent banking Arms -Pierpont Morgan Kuhn, Loeb the National City Bank and the First National Bank of New York -and the Guaranty Trust Co. of New York has agreed to act as the fiscal agent of the loan. Under this arrangement the old debt of the republic, of about $26,000,000, is to be redeemed by the issue of bonds to the amount of $4,500,000. The whole loan is to be $10,000,000, and is to cover this payment of bonds.

About $2,500,000 is to be used for internal improvements. The only obligation the United States assumes is to exercise its judgment in recommending collectors of customs, and it reserves the right to protect such collectors. Nicaragua is a country lying adjacent to Honduras, and its circumstances have been similar to those of Honduras. The treaty with Nicaragua is practically the same as that with Honduras. There 1s a very decided objection in the Senate to the approval of these treaties.

The general argument seems to be that we ought not to involve ourselves in entangling alliances with republics in this hemisphere, or to engage in what seems a mere banking arrangement for the promotion a banking contract. The United States did not enter into this treaty for the promotion of its own bankIng business or that of any of its citizens. It was thought advisable to favor a contract with American bankers rather than with foreign bankers, because such a contract would tend to keep trade with America, rather than divert it to European markets- mean the trade of these countries. Monroe Doctrine Argument. Another argument against the treaty grows out the continued discussion of what the Monroe doctrine means.

It has been said in favor of such treaties as this that by virtue of the Monroe doctrine ell these countries are more or less under our guardianship; that we have guaranteed, in a sense, their integrity against Invasion by European countries; and that it is, therefore, our duty, where a European country acting for its own citizens or subjects takes forcible measures to collect their debts from such republics, to say, "You must keep off and we will undertake properly to adjust your claims." Further, it is vigorously dented that the Monroe doctrine requires the United States to intervene in debt -collecting expeditions, because they do not contemplate the destruction of the government whose property is seized. but. only the forcible collection of the debt. I do not care what is technically included in the Monroe doctrine. Those who look at our position In this hemisphere must recognize that in the brotherhood of the twenty-one republics which constitute what is called the -American Union, the United States is the most powerful, the leading country, and all must hope that through the influence of the United States and the other countries at peace, those republics, at peace.

war We may have be brought progressed to be- a yond the time in civilization when we can stand up and say of our neighbors that we have no interest whether they are at peace or at war. Our enormous interest in Panama only accentuates the necessity of our taking care that those countries so near the Isthmus shall not be the scene of warfare which might threaten the usefulness of the canal. We are 80 situated with reference to these five republics that we are certain to get large part of the trade which peace and the tranquil development must greatly enlarge. Now, It is not a good neighhorly action for us to allow ourselves to become involved to this slight extent in order to help these struggling sister republics? Is it not prudent to put those who are certain to be our good customers in a condition where they can increase their business and increase our trade? Is there not an obligation higher than any of these to prevent the recurrence of wars which have deluged with blood that beautiful part of the world ard have caused untold misery and unhaniness to hundreds of of God's creatures? ALEUTIAN VOLCANO ERUPTION. Seward, Alaska, October 13-There have been three distinct eruptions of Bogoslof, the celebrated Aleutian volcano, season.

Deputy United States Marshal Hastings of Unalaska, who arrived here today, passed Bogosiof on September 10. Bogoslof Island had completely changed its physical appearance.

Prominent Church Official Says Playing for Prizes Is Not Gambling. There was a rumor in Manhattan today to the effect that the women card sharpers who had been excluded from participation in the prize euchre games at the Forty -seventh Regiment Armory on Wednesday night were about to retallate. and had asked the police, in a spirit of pique, to prevent all varieties of card gambling at church festivals and elsewhere. It was also suggested that the women had been bold enough to go to some Magistrates Court to ask for a watrent for arrest the people who managed the euchre of the allied societies of the Church of St. Francis of Assisi, on the ground that prize euchres consisted of gambling, and that they were illegal.

A prominent church official, who declined to discuss the matter unless be was assured that his name would not be used, declared that he did not think the women who had been profiting by their crooked card playing would go to such lengths, and he did not think there was any magistrate in the city who would be narrow enough to issue a warrant on such a charge. "Playing euchre for prizes is not said this man. course it the hazard was money, or if the prize was cash, it would be different. But church euchres are not illegal. It is true that the prizes are valuablt and that the euchres are for the purpose of gathering in cash for church enterprises, but there is nothing immoral or illegal about the matter.

Lotteries as conducted at some church fairs are unquestionably against the law. Not only churches but other organizations have these teries at their fairs. I saw in The Eagle the other day the story of the arrest cf 8, poor old man who permitted children to draw marbles from a bag. He was. according to the representation of an officer of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, demoralizing the youth of the neighborhood.

But what about the churches? How often have yott seen, at a church fair, a very small child carrying around the grab bag to invite small children who have parents to supply them with pennies, to take 8. chance in the grabbing? Every winter there are fairs for the benefit of I don't single out any one kind or organization, but at all of them there are lotteries. By the investment sums from a dollar down to a nickel. you may have a chance to win an automobile or a set of kitchen utensils. It is all highly improper, 1 admit, but it 15 going on under your nose every week in the winter time.

"Now a prize euchre is not so demoralizing-and 1 say it after due consideration--as the grab bag and the bazar lottery. Honestly conducted, it is a fair test of skill and I do not think that any magistrate or any police official would give these women, this clique of crooked prize grabers, any encouragement in the matter of any complaint they might make." MISS BONERT MULCTED $1,000. (Special to The Eagle.) Riverhead, L. October 13-A jury in the Supreme Court here this noon awarded Mrs. Matilda Hoffman of Sayville $1,000 in her damage suit for personal injurles against Miss Lucille C.

Bonert of Brooklyn and Sayville. Miss Bonert's auto ran into Mrs. Hoffman's carriage, on Main street, Sayville, on 17, 1907. and the latter was thrown over the dashboard and sustained quite serious injuries. The plaintiff alleged the accident WaS due to the careless driving of the defendant.

Miss Bonert testifed that she did all in her power to stop the ear, and contended that her machine merely pushed the carriage a few feet. The cas9 will be appealed. THE REALTY MARKET Auction Sales Today at the Real Estate Exchange. BY W. H.
