VOL. LIV.—NO. 285 MAY TRY TO EMBROLL THE POWERS ’ Suspicion That Turkey May Adopt an Irreconcilable ‘ _ Attitude With That End in View NOT YET KNOWN IF ARMISTICE IS ARRANGED Plenipotentiaries Hold Meeting, But No Information Regard- ing Proceedings Has Been Disclosed—Bulgarian News- paper Accuses Turks of Playing For Time—Americans Not Welcomed in War Zone—Wounded Are Neglected. London, Nov. 26.—The extreme anx- fety manifested by all the Eyropean powers to deny rumors of warlike reparations and to represent the po- itical situation as peaceful and sat- i{sfactory, is in itself an indication on how slender a thread the issues of peace and war in Europe now hang. Turkey May Hold Out. The danger arises not alone from the conflicting interests of Austria, Bervia and the other powers, but from the possibility that Turkey, following the traditional policy of profiting by the embroilment of the great powers, may adopt an irreconcilable attitude in the peace negotiations. Plenipotentiaries Meet. Beyond the fact that the plenipoten- tiaries met today nothing is yet known —not even whether an armistice has been arranged. There appears to be f suspension of operations at the Tchatalja lines, apparently by tacit consent rather than by formal agree- ment, Bulgarian Criticism of Turkey. The semi-official Bulgarian news- paper Mir, in an editorial voices the governmental irritation at Turkey’s dilatory methods of negotiation and accuses the porte of deliberately nominating delegates from remote points in order to gain time. This probably refers to Osman Nizami Pasha, the ambassador to Germany, who arrived at Constantinople from Berlin only today. Servia Stirring - up Austria. In the diplomatic field the most im- portant reports are that Servia de- clines to r to the Austrian de- mands until the war is concluded and that Germany mediate between Austria and Russia. The news that Servia is throwing ob- stacles in the way of the Austrian representative in search of Prochaska, the Austrian consul at Prisrend, is another disquieting feature. Fighting Around Adrianople. Fighting continues around Adrian- ople, where ‘the besieging forces are reported to have drawn their investing circles to within two-thirds of a mile of the town. AMERICANS NOT WANTED. Responses of Turkey and Balkan Al- lies Evasive. Washington, Nov, -American military observers are not wantryl by the Balkan war belligerents, ac- cording to the last advice to the state department. Neither Turkey nor the Balkan allies has returned an unqual- ifled refusal of the request of the United States for permission to send officers to the field of hostilities, but | from the nature of their preliminary responses it is apparent that they are evading the issue and have no inten- tion of complyin The war department had expected to order the “special cavalry board, now touring Europe, and several mil- itary attaches, to the scene. TURKS NEGL.IGENT. Show No Inclination to Accept Aid for Their Wounded. London, Nov. 28.—A Conitantinople despatch to the Daily News'says: “Despite the utter inadequacy of thelr own hospitals and attendants, the Turks appear unwilling to make fuse of the European corps of volun- teers to anything like the extent they might, Certain medical units sent from England, though abundantly provided with equipment, have been unable to fill half the beds owing to the inde- lence or Impotence of the Ottoman offi- cials. “Those in charge medical corps have send part’ of their staff for service among the refugees. While they can- not entirely reject this provosal- be- cause the condition of the refugees is deplorable, nevertheless the request has met with a deal of harsh com- ment, the workers declaring that they came out to care for the wounded, not as soup distributors. One English unit, with 200 empty beds, went out to the byways looking for wounded and brought in one Turk with his ankle ghattered. He is now being cared for by four surgeons and sixteen nurses, #n addition to several dresers and as- sistants. The lone patient ds being fed on chicken broth, meat juices and other delicacies and is liberally sup- plied with cigarettes.” of the English been asked to Volunteers in Cholera Camp.

London, Nov. 26—A Belgrade de- i spatch to the Standard says that two Lmore ' divisions, about 30,000 strong, from the crown prince’s army at Mon- asgtir, are proceeding by rail by way of Saloniki and Demotica to reinforce the Bulgarians at Adrianople and Tchatalja.

INABILITY WIFE'S LONELY VIGIL Paced Up and Down in Rain in Front of Courthouse For Some Time—De- tective Also Waiting. Goshen, N. Y, Nov. 26.—The jury trying Burton . Gibson on _the charge of murdering his client, Mrs. Rosa M. Szabo, on Greenwood lake last July, deliberated till 2.05 o'clock this morning without reaching a verdlet. Mrs. Gibson’s Long, Lonely Vigil. While Gibson sat in his cell await- ing word from the jury room, his wife, worn by her long vigil, was rest- ing within call at a nearby cottage after having paced up and down in front of the courthouse for some time in the rain. Detective Waits to Arrest Gibsen. In the courtroom at the time sat a detective armed with a warrant on which Gibson would be rearrested in case he was acquitted of the murder charge. This warrant charged Gib- son with the larceny in 1910 of $17,000 from Hugh Tralner, an aged awning maker and a former client of the prisoner. The warrant was based on an indictment found by the grand jury in New York county recently. Couldn’t Agree at 2.05 A. M. At 2.05 the jury sent word to Jus- tice Tompkins that it could not agree. The justice was summoned to the courtroom. Locked Up at 225 A. M. Jurors in the trial of Burton W. Gibson were locked up at 2.25 o'clock this morning after seven hours’ de- liberation without having come to an agreement. _ Manslaughter Verdict Impossible. The court eliminated manslaughter from its charge and directed that one of three yerdicts be. returned, murder in ihe fifst degree, second degree or acquittal. Dur.og the long summing up of the case fcr the defense and the state to- son drowsily nodded in his nd Mrs. Gibson, sitting close o:ed her eyes as if asleep. Mrs. Gibson Becomes Agitated. When the assistant district attorney told the jury that her presence there, snuggied closely to the prisoner, whose arm encircled her, was to elicit their sympathy, she awoke with a start and became agitated. She would have risen to speak had not her counsel held her back. In summing up for the state Isadore ‘Wasservogel told the jurors that there were “no two ways of looking at the evidence.” At great length he proceed- ed with a word picture of Greenwood lake, “in. the sunlight that glorious day in July,” and of the man and woman seen on it in a boat. District Attorney’s Argument. “We see'him grasp her around the neck and thrast his hand to her throat,” he declared. “We see them fall into the -water. We see the man alone emerge. Next we see this man hurrying home. Two days later we see him lay the woman in a nameless grave with kith and kin far away. Next we see him in the surrvogate's court asking for her money.. That is our case, sketched on the witness siwnd. Where does it fail?” The Judge’s Charge. Justice Tompkins «in charging the Jjury referred to contradictory expla- nations given by Gibson of Mrs. Szabo's whereabouts after she had met her end. “If these inconsistent, contradictory and false statements were made by the defendant,” he asked, “why were they made? Why did he say she was in Chicago when he knew she was Jead? hy did he say she was going to Europe in six or eight months? What do these statements indicate as to the guilt or innocence of the de- fendant in connection with the death of Rosa Szabo? “Conflicting and False Statements.” “If her death had been an accident, would he have told these stories or would he have told frankly just how the accident happened? What was the defendant’s motive in telling these different stories? Was it to conceal from her relatives and friends the fact of her death and thereby prevent any possidble investigation of the case? “Do these confiictin, and falss statements, made by the defendant, tend to corroborate the other testi- mony and to establish the guilt of the defendant? These are questions you must put to yourselves in the jury room and answer.” Warned Against Sympathy and Mercy Justice Tompkins asked the jury to consider why the bogus Mrs, Petro- relfa Menschik had not been produced. In closing, he warned the jury to reach its verdict without sympathy or mercy. Gibson heard the charge with down- cast eyes. His wife, pallid and hag- gard, drew closer to him when the erra.gnnient became severe. REPUBLICANS LOSE FIGHT IN KANSAS, Court Won’t Compel Count of Ballots Rejected by Board.

Indianapolls, Ind.,, Nov. 25.—The con- tentions of the defense that the Mc- Namaras and Ortie B. McManigal alone were responsible for explosions, and that the Iron Workers’ union executive board and President Frank H. Ryan knew nothing of any $1,000 expended from the union funds for destroying non-urion property were pursued in cross-examination of MoManigal at the “dynamite conspiracy” trial to- day. McNamara Offered Detective $30,000. Before being turned over by the gov- ernment, McManigal had told storles of how he and the McNamaras had talked of blowing up the locks of the Panama cenal, and how James B, Mc- Namara was to return to Los and “wipe that city off the map” series of explosions, and how they were prevented from carrying out these plots by their arrest in April, 1911, He also had related that after his and James B.’s arrest in Detroft, and they were on the traln to Chicago, James B. offered Guy Biddinger, & detective, $30,000 to allow them to es- cape, telling Biddinger “if you dom"t get it, Clarence Darrow will.” McManigal Admits Previous Arrests. Senator John W, Kern for the de- fense cross-examined McManigal. “Was the pay you recelved from the McNamaras your motive in caus- ing so many explosions?” asked S ator Kern. ! “No, it was not money. Herbert 8. Hockin, when he first started men to the dvnamiting business, terrorized me, saying if I didn’t do it he would pre- vent me from getting work. Then I was prompted by a foolish notion that it was good for the ironworkers’ un- ion. My mind was inflamed with the idea it would build up the union.” McManigal admitted he had been ar- rested three times, twice for larcemy and once for disorderly conduct. “After the Los Angeles Times build- ing was blown up, when you and James B. were hunting in the woods of Wisconsin, you say he admitted to you that he deliberately killed twenty- one persons; that he was a printer, and he knew he would kill someone when he put the bomb in the Times building, ahd yet you continued to as- soclate with him?” “Yes, 1 did.” McManigal had said that when J. J. McNamara, secretary of the union, planned “wholesale explosions,” includ- ing the blowing of Los Angeles city, he was dafraid the executive boar would cut off his allowance.” Received $525 for One Job. “Now you say McNamara in order to get more money proposed to steal $150,000 by killing the treasurer of the automobile races at the Speedway in Indianapolis, end yet you still kept company with these men who planned the murder?” “Yes, I did.” McManigal told in detail how much he was paid for each “job.” “When you caused the explosion im the Llewellyn iron plant in Los An- geles on Dec. 25, 1910, how much did you charge for it?” “I got $525, which imcluded my ex- penses. EFFECT OF PUBLIC UTILITIES FINDING Will Cause Loss of;a—mu Minutes te Certain N, Y, N, H. & H. Trains. New Haven, Nov. 25.—Inquiry at the offices of the New York, New Ha- ven & Hartford railroad here, as to the effect of the ruling of the Con- necticut public utilities commission following the Westport accident, brings out the fact that a loss of several minutes to various trains will result from the commission's stop er- der for low-speed Cross overs.
