Is plainly heard in the city. The sound of cannonading emanates from the various heights in tbe direction of Tchatalja. where the Turkish army is making its last stand. The combined military and naval strength of Turkey is now engaged In the defense of the capital, vessels in both the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmora lying- close inshore and shelling Bulgarian detachments engaged in flanking tactics. Warship Join the Fight.

The Bulgarians have attacked the Turkish position at Biyuk Chekmedye, on the Sea of Marmora, and a fearful struggle is in progress. The Turkish I warships have occupied all day in shelling the attacking Bulgarians, but the invaders continue their rushing tactics, absolutely ignoring the rain cf shells. That most obstinate resistance is being offered all along the line of defense Is apparent from the slow advance of the Bulgarian army, which is now reck-oned to he within a day's march of Constantinople, were that march not Interrupted by artillery and infantry. The a-Ivance of the main Bulgarian army is said to be In the center of the peninsula leading to Constantinople, most of the flanking work being done by the rapid ly-movirig cavalry. The warships are hurling shell?" at every detachment of Bulgarians that is sighted.

Treason Plot Discovered. While the enemy is at the gates of the capital, Turkey has now to con-eider two enemies of equal menace within the- walls of city. Cholera Is rapidly increasing and a serious in ternal political situation has developed. I A plot to upset the government has been discovered and several leading Toung Turks have been arrested, including Suleiman Nazif, ei-vail of Bagdad, and Muhi Eddin, editor of the newspaper, Tanin. Other arrests are impending in connection with the propaganda to restore the ex-sultan, Abdul Hamid, to the throne.

The ravages of cholera are constantly increasing. The situation without the city walls beggars description. There Is more revolting misery among the refugees than ever before was witnessed in the Kear East. Manque Becomes a Feat House. Within the city a half-hearted attempt has been made to check the disease.

A large number of patients have been placed la the Mosque of St. Sophia, where a cordon has beeu established. Other districts have been quarantined, but the state of excitement is such that no quarantine regulations can be enforced. As a eonsequence the disease is spreading rapidly. Tbe Servians today were reported hammering at the gates of Monastir, with one force of Greeks hurrying to help them and another marching on Janina.

The Montenegrins continued their bom-1 tardment of Scutari and were doing tlieir utmost to take the Adriatic port of San Giovanni di Medua from the heights which surround it. Adrianople was understood to be still holding out stubbornly. Allies Take Bold Stand.

KILLED TWO OTHERS Bt Associated Pbkss to Qazktts Times. BUFFALO, N. Nov. J6. Confession to at least three murders and admission that there are "still more." is the startling disclosure contained in postal cards from a modern "Dr.

Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," the murderer of 6-year-old Josep'a s. received by the police and made public here tonight. The murder of the Josephs boy, whose entire body in badly decomposed frag ments was found today in a cesspool nenr his home in Lackawanna, N. after a search of over a year, is believed by the police to be but one of a long series of similar crimes committed throughout the country by ihe man who, according to his own confessions, has an Irresistible i mania for killing boys.

Today's gruesome discovery was made following the minute instructions contained in the cards. Murderer Wrote Often. Young Josephs disappeared on the afternoon of October 12, 1911. It was at first believed he had been drowned, but his father, George Josephs, a prominent merchant of Lackawanna, insisted that the boy had been Kidnaped ana a country-wide search was instituted. The case attracted widespread attention, as the father from time to time received anonymous letters warning him to discontinue the search under threat that his sen would be murdered.

Today's developments indicate that the murderer took this means cf creating the belief t-'iat the boy was still alive. In one postal card mailed from Boston, the unknown writer speaks of murdering a boy in Central Park, New York city. It reads: Wednesday night, December 10. 1S02. I enticed Michael Ricao Kruclc.

Another unsigned card dated Boston, November 1812, and written apparently by the same person, says the writer, "unfortunately had too much money," that he was a prominent fraternity man of a high degree, "honored and respected." "My son," it continues, "is married and happy. Can I under the circumstances isive myseii can, of course, but there are still more murders I have nut told you. Shall come?"

Rooters Make It Great Foot ball Day in Pittsburgh With Lusty Yells. 12,000 SEE THE GAME Father Pitt surrendered the city yes terday to the cohorts oi lootoanuom. His star team of the University of Pittsburgh lost the battle with W. 14 0, but Father Pitt was not grieved. As Coach "Joe" Thompson said, last night, "The better team won." It was the biggest football day Pittsburgh has seen in years.

The whole city seemed to participate in the event the year in football circles here, the annual conflict between "Washington and Jefferson College and the University of Pittsburgh. Pitt lost only after a good fight, and the 12,000 friends and foes who saw the blue and gold lose said it was on honorable defeat. The scene on Forbes Field was one of the most brilliant ever seen in local football history. It is doubtful if the Pitt-State game Thanksgiving Day will attract a larger or more enthusiastic attendance. The bleachers and grandstand were packed hours before the battle was opened.

Although the street cars to Forbes Field had been Increased largely in number, they were insufficient to accommodate all who wished to journey there from the downtown district. Several Wash-Jeff rooters spent their afternoon before the bulletin boards of the uews-papers. Chip Pieces Off the ITilltin. One of the most pleasing features of the game was. the friendly spirit shown by the students of the two Bchools.

The first yell that the lusty rooters of Pitt sent up, chipping pieces off the welkin, was familiar to all friends of Washington and Jefferson. W. J. rooters returned the compliment by giving a rousing yell of greeting to their antagonists. In the west bleachers the Pitt men gave vent to the earsplitting cacophonies that go to make a football game.

The east side of the field harbored the adherents to the red and black. There were bands galore. Both schools were helped by the music, while the Washings ton and Jefferson alumni added honors to the school by having "Danny" NL Contlnued on Second Page, Third Section.

WILSON Bt Cmin Press to Gazette Times. NEW YORK, Nov. 16. Declaring himself in favor of a single six-year term for the president and the amendment of the Constitution so as to give cabinet officers seats in the Senate, President Taft made his first important speech since the election before the Lotos Club tonight. Gently railing at William Jennings Bryan's suggestion that ex-presidents be given debating power without vote in I Congress.

Taft closed with a toast to: I "The health and success of the able, patriotic and distinguished gentleman who Is to le the next President of the United States." President Taft reviewed at length the problems which the chief executive must face and urged that the appointments of "local, patronage" posts be taken from him, to enable him to give more time to putting into effect the pledges of the party that elected mm. Alluding humorously to the criticisms to which he has been subjected, the President declared that he foresaw the end of "indiscriminate muckraking'1 and unfounded criticisms of public officials, which, he said, had done "grave injustice to many nonorable men." Discussing the duties of the president, he declared that to a man of judicial ftmperament the ephemeral glory of the office soon passed and that the desire for recognition for the good he has accomplished was but slightly assuaged by the promise that history would right him. Refers to "Ojen House." Mr. Taft said that while all other presi- dents had been subjected to a fierce fire iPe criticism, he believed that he had been harshly treated with less reason than any other of his predecessors. 1 rne president referred but Indirectly to president-elect Wilson's announce- I ment that he intended to pursue the door Dolley after his inauguration i tie tul.i his heat ers that the President rn mrt 1t necessary af he took oft ice to cut conferences and official visits to a minimum, though he stepped on somebody's foot.

Supporting his argument that cabinet officers should be given a seat in the Senate to meet debate on questions of state, the President said that while parliamentary rules decreed the limit to the language which debaters might use against each other, it failed to limit tbe extent to which the debaters might go in flaying the chief executive.

S.

L. Tone, general manager of the Pittsburgh Railways Company, has noti- fled Director Joseph G. Armstrong of the Department of Public Works that street cars will begin to run on Fifth avenue, from Liberty avenue east, next Thursday. The present routing will be changed gradually, Mr. Tone writes, as some overhead work still Is to be done.

Armstrong says the Wylie avenue routes cannot be changed until a temporary trestle has been built over that part of the avenue excavated from Sixth avenue to Fifth avenue. Armstrong has a plan to take down the Hump In Fourth avenue, between Smithfield street and Cherry way. That part of the street is on a 6 per cent grade, Armstrong says, and he "contemplated having It cut to 4 per ci In case this is not done, he believe most of the vehicle and pedestrian tra: ic will prefer Diamond street after th grade has been reduced, and this would injure business property in Fourth avenue. Armstrong wants the Hump contractors to begin work on Sixth avenue as soon 83 ln cwel" excavation work can be done. He hopes that by next July the excavation of all the Hump streets and alleys north of Fifth avenue can be completed.

He has been informed that before long three- fourths of the houses in Wylle avenue. between Fifth and Sixth avenues, will be torn down, whereupon the sidewalk space will be cut down level with the new grade to which the street itself has been reduced. This sidewalk work has been postponed for fear the buildings would fall if the Job were proceeded with. 4 Carbolic Acid Kills Heir to Millions Nurse Gives Poison to Child by Mistake; Uncle Will Inherit Estate.
