London, Dec. 1.—The signature of the protocol of the armistice between salkan allies and Turkey, which was expected today, has Dbeen post- poned until Tuesday, the Greek delegate has not yet received the nec- ary authority from his government, Greeks May Hold Off. 1t is rumored that in addition to the Bulgarian troops just landed at Ded- eaghatch another large force of Greek troops from Saloniki is at sea and it suggested that Greece may delay gning the armistice in order to en- able these troops to arrive at their destination, which is supposed to be the Gulf of Cares in Gallipolsi. Armisticé®May Cover Fortnight. It is understood that the armistice will extend for about a fortnight if necessary and cover the whole field of operation. The difficulty with re- spect to the beleaguered garrisons of Adrianople and Scutari is being sur- mounted by permitting them to re- ceive daily rations during the armis- Peace Conference May Follow. The plenipotentiaries appear to have been concerned so far solely in ar- ranging the armistice, but a peace conference is expected to commence immediately, probably at Sofia and as Bulgaria has_ already shown greater forbearance than had been looked for in waiving her demand for the sur- render of Adrianople, while at the same time Turkey cannot hope to se- cure better conditions by continuing the war, a strong feeling is enter- tained that the last shot. in the war will have been fired when the armis- tice is signed. Austria and Servia Cooling Down. There is little doubt, however, that the peace negotiations will be difficult and protracted. The question of hold- ing a European ambassadorial confer- ence is still undecided, but the inter- national sitvation is much more peace- ful. The Servian government denies the reported preparations for a con- flict with Austria, while the Austrian press is much less bellicose. A HITCH IN ARMISTICE. ~ Greoks Object to the Revictualing of Beleaguered Towns. Constantinople, Dec. 1 (Midnight)— The signing of the protocol of the armistice has been postponed until Tuesday, in order to give an oppor- tunity to the representatives of all the allies to sign, L Greek delegate required 48 in which to receive the neces- ary authority from his government. It is said that the duration of the armistice has been fixed at eight days, but that it will be prolonged another seven days if necessary. s Although the terms of the armistice will not be known until after the sig- natures are affixed, nevertheless it is understood that they have been con- siderably reduced as compared with the original demands of the league. They provide practically for the main- tenance of the positions which the belligerents at present occupy and for the revictualing of the beleaguered towns. It is believed that the latter point is responsible for the hesltation on the part of Hellenic delegate, because it implies raising the blockade with regard to foodstuffs. The matter therefore has been referred to Athens for decision. $250,000,000 FOR ADRIANOPLE. Bulgarians Want Turks to Pay That Figure for Possession. London, Dec. The terms of the armistice, according to the Constanti- nople correspondent of the Standard, provide that the armies shall remain in their present position and cease en- trenching, reinforcing or bringing up ammunition.

MAYOR OF ROME WILL RETRACT NOTHING Says He Stands by Speech in Which He Criticized the Papaoy. Rome, Dec. In anticipation of the municipal elections which will be held next Sunday Mayor Nathan delivered a speech tpday before an immense audience, reviewing the work of his administration. He recalled his speech of Sept. 20, 1910, on the occasion of the commemoration of the entry into Rome of King Victor Emmanuel and the fall of the temporal power, in which he warmly criticized the papacy.

He had simply stated facts, but his speech had acquired importance through the criticisms directed against it, even by the pontiff. He sald he would not retract even a syllable of that speech, submitting it to the legit- imate judges, the electors.

FOUND NO CHARM IN-BLACK CAT'S EAR Unsophisticated Pole Had No Better Luck with a Magic Bean. Chicago, Dec. 1.—George A. Papau- sky, the Polish banker-conjurer, re- cently released from the house of cor- rection, where he was sent by Judge Landis to serve a six months’ sen- tence for selling invisibility ointments and love charms, was arresteqd again tonight. Papausky sold Anton Loko- ritz, a fellow countryman, a black cat’s ear to make him invisible, Lok- oritz gladly paid $25 for the charm and put the ear, according to direc- tions, in his left walstcoat pocket. Confident in his invisibility, Loko- ritz ther entered a saloon with the proprietor of which he was not on friendly terms. Making sure the charm was in place, he stepped behind the bar and began to help himself to bot- tled goods. The bartender immedlate- ly fell on Lokoritz and hustled him into the street. Lokoritz went to Papausky’s house, thinking that something must be amiss. He did not see the conjurer, but was met by a woman, who told him he had to have a magic hean to g0 with the cat's ear. Lokoritz bought a bean and returned to the saloon and went behind the bar again, The bartender ejected him more ener- getically than before. He had sev- eral bruises to show the police when he made his complaint. Another purchaser of a black cat’s ear is sought by the police to testify against the conjurer. This man bought a black cat's ear and was run over soon after by an automobile, The man did not make a complaint, his friends said, because he was invisible and coulq not blame the chauffeur for not seeing him. 1 LIVED 18 DAYS ON CRACKERS AND WATER Four Japanese Stowaways Reach Ta- coma in Weakened Condition.

More than 17,000,000 church members are represented by the delegates. A New Social Creed. Formal adoption of a new social creed which is to be the social work standard of all the churches belonging to the federation is to be one of the most important acts of the confer- ence. The adoption of a common re- liglous creed is forbidden by the con- stitution of the federal council. The social creed, however, is intended to be the basis of the civic work of the churches, furtherance of which is a leading purpose of -the council. Features of the New Creed. New features of the social creed of the council are as follows: The church must stand: For the protection of the family by the single standard of purity, régula- tion of marriage and proper housing. For fullest development of the child by education and recreation. For the abatement and prevention of | poverty. For the conservation of health. » Protection of Workers. For safeguarding the right of all men to an opportunity for self main- tenance and for protection of workers from the hardships of enforced unem- ployment. ‘The new features of the social creed are intended to supplement and bring up to date the humanitarian provisions of the social creed of the council which has been standing for four years. Old age provision, abolition of child labor, living wages, reduction of hour- of la- bor, equitable division of the products of indusiry and protection of women workers are the chief features of the | existing creed.

A COMPLICATED CASE Wife and Son of Murdered Farmer Also Accused—Was at First Thought to Be a Case of Suicide.

Charles Emelius, a minister of the Lutheran church, Mrs. Mary Jacobson, his mother-in-law, and the Ilatter's son, Edgar J. Jacobson, of New Swe- den, will be placed on trial in the su- preme court of Aroostook county for the murder of August Jacobson, a prosperous New Sweden farmer, on June 11, 1914. Minister Changed His Name. Rev. Charles Emelius, one of the de- fendants, was pastor of the Lutheran church at New Sweden at the time of the crime. It that he is a na- tive of Greenle ownship in Meeker county, Minn., and that while his fa- ther i’ Thomas Nelson, the young man changed his name upon entering the ministry, saying that Nelson was (00 ¢ommon. A few months after the death of Jacobson, Emelius married Jacobson's daughter, Mrs. Belle Gabri- elson, who had been a widow only a short time. Case Thought to Be Suicide. Jacobson’s body was found by his wife in a lane between his home and a ¢. Beneath the body was an cld On a fishpc chich rested t a nearby tree was a note pur- y Jacob- 1 he said he about to take his own life.

Two months later County Attorney Brown became suspicious and ordered the body The autopsy then showed t nan had been shot four times, through the left ast and twice through the head. The wounds apparently were made by a rifle and, in the opinion of the offi- cials, could not have been self-inflict- ed. No Bullet Holes in Clothing, The inquest which followed develop- ed the fact that, buttoned about the bady when found, was an overcoat and an, undercoat, in neither of which was thére a_bullet hole. - Testimony was preduceil that Jacobson and his son, Bdgar, aged 17, had quarreled on the night hefore Jacobson died. BEdgar was arrested last March, but was dis- charged when the. April term of the grand jury failed to indict him. Minister Weds Dead Man’s Daughter. In the meantime Rev. Charles Eme- lius had resigned his New Sweden pastorate after marrying Jacobson’s daughter and had moved to the neigh- boring town of Stockholm. Detectives working for the attorney general's de- partment claimed to have learned that the minister’s suit for the hand of Ja- cobson’s daughter was opposed by the father. Emelius was arrested June 12, just a year after Jacobson's death. PROMISE OF AMNESTY FOR REBEL BANDS. New Mexican Believes It Will Solve Country’s Troubles. Mexico City, Dec. 1.—Convinced that numerous bands of rebels in the states of Durango, Coahuila and southern Chihuahua are continuing their opera- tions merely because they believe that surrender would mean summary exe- cution under the suspension of the guarantees, Rafael Hernandez, the new minister of the interior, announced to- day that he would attempt to gain for them a promise of amnesty. Cheche Campos and Benjamin Argunado, offi- cers in Orozco's organization, are the chief leaders of the rebels in these dis- tricts, and several engagements have been fought during the latter part of the week, the government as usual &n- nouncing victories. These and allied leaders have been making successful raids, now and then attacking small outposts and managing for the most part to evade encounters with superior forces. The rich coun- try is practically at their mercy and the federal forces are able to accom- plish little more than garrison the larger towns. Minister Hernandez is confident that the rurales, who report to his depart- ment, will be able to co-operate more effectively than the regular troops, and with this object in view he has held & lonz conference with Gemeral De La Vega, commander in chief of the ru- rales guard. Hernandez has issued a general or- der to the rurales to commandeer horses where and when needed, glving receipts to the owners and notifying the government. The rurales have complained that they are frequently unable to follow the insurrectos on ac- count of wern-out mounts. It is also calculated that this will prevent the rebels from obtalning horses and will assure the owners of payment. It was suggested by eom- plaints from the ranch owners of raids.
