LONDON, Oct. 18—The Sofia cor
respondent to the Times says, “This
is to be war that will be a war, with
creeds rather than races; a war with
out mercy and without truce; a war
that will be full of horrors; a war
that will leave a trail of blood and
suffering that will know no end.”
A dispatch to the Chronicle says,
“Turkey utterly and positively re
jects Premier Poincare’s proposals
for a conference of the Huropean
powers to endeavor to terminate the
war.”
Judge Peter D, Overfield, who had
been transferred from the fourth
judicial division to preside over the
third division, arrived in Cordova
earl}' this morning, coming from Seat
tle on the steamer Alameda. Short
ly after his arrival he was met by the
various court officials and his final
decision was made with reference to
the term of court that had been call
ed for Cordova for October 14, and
which he had directed l»e adjourned
until this afternoon. „ He was of the
opinion that the term had lapsed be
cause of his failure to be present up
to four o'clock on Tuesday afternoon.
Judge Overfield further declared
that the other order he had issued,
directing a new term be railed to
meet at Cordova on November 14,
should stand. Hut he further de
cided that no grand jury would he
called and that only the post office
rases and a few civil cases that were
on the caledar should be tried here.
He stated that he was booked to hold
a term of court at Juneau on Novem
ber 2.5 aiul unless it was postponed
for a week or two that he could not
tarry long at Cordova. He had is
sued an order for a term of court to
commence at Valdez on November 18
but that will be canceled and a new
order will be made calling a term
for December 2, at which time Judge
Lyons will Ik* present and start to
hear the Fairbanks hanking cases.
A grand jury will also Ik* called and
various matters from the westward
and other places will he presented,
that it had been intended to bring
before the Cordova grand jury.
Such indictments as are returned will
likely be tried at Valdez at tlie term
ination of the hank cases.
So soon as the court oflicials were
made familiar with the conclusions
of the court they prepared to leave
for Valdez on the Alameda. Jurors
and witnesses were paid oft' and dis
charged, but it was found necessary
for a few of the oflicials to remain
over until the next steamer west
ward. Those who are still here in
clude deputy District Attorney hind
ley J. Green, the popular and efficient
official from Seward, deputy District
Attorney Guy C. Brubaker, of Valdez,
deputy clerk of the court Torn Scott,
and stenographer Hays. The thirty
witnesses who are on the steamer
Sampson coming from the westward
will likely lie switched oft at \ aldez,
and returned to their homes, to again
appear at Valdez in time for the term
of December a, when they will a]>
pear before the grand jury in a
couple of important matters.

Ralph Williams, F. M. Boyle and
George Tiffany have bonded the

ated near the water’s edge, on the
outside of Shoup bay near Valdez.

first payment, $5,000, is due on July
1st.

Because the government wireless
station at Nulato can handle all the
Iditarod business as it offers, the
station of the Alaska Wireless com
pany at Kaltag has been closed down
for the winter and the company will
work in conjunction with the gov
ernment. Originally the Alaska
Wireless had not intended installing
a station at Kaltag but last season
when ready to operate in the Idia
rod, the management found that the
new government station at Nulato
would not be ready for business until
late in the fall, so it was necessary
to put in the Kaltag station in order
to accommodate the summer busi
ness. As the Alaska Wireless uses
the Tellefunken plants, this could
be done very quickly.
