Vienna, June 15.—Fighting for the
throne to which he was raised by the
powers, Prince William of Albania,
formerly of Weid, was on the firing
line today, repelling, at the head of
his troops, constant attacks from an
army of insurgent Musselman subjects
on Durazzo, the capital.
Repulses All Attacks.
At the head of 9,000 men Prince
William, it is said in dispatches re-
ceived here, has beaten off all day
long the attacks of 27,000 insurgents
who from several sides began to
storm the city at 4 o'clock this morn-
ing.
So fierce were the attacks of the
insurgents, however, that it was
doubted if the defenders of the city
could hold out until nightfall.
Marines Art Landed.
Determined to prevent serious loot-
ing or massacre in case the city should
fall, commanders of the international
fleet at Durazzo today landed troops,
mostly marines, who are on guard at
various places.
. Of these Austrian marines are most
' nesbus.
The sheriff’s department was noti-
fied this morning of three burglaries
at Iowa Park last night. The stores
of J. H. Tanner, hardware; Akers &
Fain, groceries, and Bensley & Bru-
baker were burglarized.
At Tanner’s hardware store a shot
gun, a number of pocket knives and
a small electric flashlight were taken.
A small amount of cash was taken at
Akers & Fain’s grocery and at Bens-
ley & Brubaker’s twenty-five boxes of
ten cent cigars were taken.
There is no clew to the robbers but
they are believed to be a gang of
youths who have been operating in a
number of small towns between Wich-
ita Falls and Childress recently.—

J^ome, June 15.—Dispatches receiv-
/emhere today from Durazzo say that
tms insurgents surrounding the city in
revolt against the rule of Prince Wil-
liam of Weid may effect its capture
before night.
Colonel Thompson, commanding the
prince’s troops, was killed during a
fight with the besiegers this morning.
Prince William was chosen as ruler
of Albania after the last Balkan war,
following the peace conferences in
London. He is 43 years old and a
nephew of the queen of Roumania.
He married Princess Pauline of Wur-
temberg in 1898.
The insurgents have repeatedly de-
manded that Prince William abdicate
the throne, and to each request he has
. Wichita Falls, June 15.—Six weeks
of revival meetings under the auspi-
ces of the First Christian church,
came to a close Sunday night when
Dr. Charles R. Scoville preached the
closing sermon at the tent, where the
meetings have been held during the
past week.
Thirty-two were added to the roll
of converts during the day, making a
total of 613 who have responded to in-
vitations while the meetings have been
in progress. This is an average of
over twenty per day, and Dr. Scoville
is well pleased with the results of the
campaign here. He is much gratified
at the spirit of co-operation which
has prevailed.
THAW IS REFUSED RELEASE.

Washington, June 15.—Harry K.
Thaw today was denied Release on bail
pending consideration by the supreme
court of his extradition from New
Hampshire to New York. The court
also declined to grant he request that
Thaw be taken to Pittsburg in the
custody of Sheriff Drew of Coos coun-
ty, New Hampshire, to testify in the
settlement of his father’s estate.
Judge Aldrich of the federal court in
New Hampshire, ordered Thaw’s re-
lease on habeas corpus proceedings.
The supreme CQurt next will pass uppn
that.
Chicago, June 15.—State bank ex-
aminers under the direction of Daniel
V. Harkin, chief examiner, continued
work today preparing the report of
the financial condition of the LaSalle
Street Trust & Savings bank and the
four outlying banks which were closed
last week by the state officials.
The report was expected to be com-
pleted tomorrow.
No statement of resources or liabil-
ities was made by Examiner Harkin.
The bank examiner refused to com-
ment on the statement of C. B. Mun-
day, vice president of the La Salle
Street Trust & Savings bank, that
$1,000,000 would be contributed to the
bank to enable it to reopen or the re-
port that William Lorimer, president,
and Munday, vice president, will sever
their connection with the bank.
Examiner la Silent.
Mr. Harkin was equally uncommuni-
cative on the question of possible
criminal prosecution of officers of the
bank. Numbers, of depositors, anx-
ious for the safety of their funds,
stood in front of the closed La Salle
street bank. Some of them told of
their need of money.
The treasurer has prepared to make
formal application to the outlying
banks for funds, amounting to $450,-
000, which the city has on deposit in
these institutions.
Request was made Friday on the La
Salle street bank for $625,000 of city
money on deposit there.
