VOL. LV.—NO. 9 PROVISIONS SCARCE AT ADRIANOPLE Authorities Requisition Privately Owned Food and - Distribute Half Ration Daily ; HOSPITALS UNEQUAL TO DEMANDS UI:ON THEM A Desperate Situation Disclosed by Deserters From Turk§|h Ranks—Commander of Fortress Declares He Would Rather See All the People Starve Than Surrender the Town-—Allies to Fotce Turks to Show Their Hands. London, Jan. 9—Official news re- ceived by the Bulgarian delegation de- scribes the situation at' Adrianople as Gesperate. Several soldiers, who de- serted and succeeded in reaching the | headquarters of the allies, say that the town is in its last gasp. Provisions are so scarce that the military au- thorities have requisitioned all the food possessed even by private in- dividuals and, are making only one gistribution, comprising a half ration Gaily. Sick Overflow Hospital. The conditions have been rendered graver by the great number of sick, who overflow the hospitals, where the sttendance is.inadequate. Thus_the geath rate is very high. The Bul- garians have allowed medicines and Rled Cross workers to enter under the escort of a Bulgarian detachment Rather Starve Than Surrender. The commander of the fortress has declared that he would rather see all gie of starvation than surrender the town; that is why all who can are en- | deavoring to escape. The Bulgarians believe that even independently of any action the powers may take, the ques- tion of Adrianople will woon be solved. Allies May Balk. It is understood that Constantinople has accepted the views of Rechad Pasha, who recently asked to be au- {to definite conclusion of peace thorized to re-convoke the conference, he being president for the next sit- ting. The difficulty now lies in the determination of the allies not to par- | tielpate in the conference unless they are notified before hand what Turkey intends to propose. They do not wish to revive the discussion of unaccept- able terms, but-desire to have it as a certainty that Turkey is ready to cede what has been pronounced as the ir- reducible minimum of the allies—Ad- drianople, after.which it will be possi- ble to discuss the frontier line, Wwhich must leave that town in the hands of the allies. ‘Want Unofficial Agreement. In other words, the allies do not wish to play into Turkey’s hands by re-en- tering the conference room without & definite programme which may lead is time. Before the meeting the Turks and allies must have unofficially agreed to the main points of the territorial clauses of the treaty ,so that official ratification of those agreements can be had at the sitting of +he conference.

WOULD COST $12,000 TO RAISE PHILADELPHIA. Old Frigate Sunk in Harbor of Tripoli in 1808, ‘Washington, Jan. 9. — Lieutenant Commander R. Drace White, military attache at the American embassy at Rome, in a report made public at the navy department today, says there are no reasons apart from sentimental ones for raising the old frigate Phila- delphia, sunk in the harbor of Tripoli in 1808, The investigation was ordered last autumn after a balloonist fiving over the Mediterranean sighted the hull of the vessel which.was sunk in the war waged by this country to put an end to attacks on American merchant ves- sels by Barbary pirates. Commander White estimates that it would cost $12,000 to raise the Phlia- delphia and get her ashore. He says she apparently lies on her side and is covered with sand all except for the space of about 35 feet. To raise her it would be necessary to dredge around the outside as well as inside of the sunken craft. It is unlikely that the navy department will order the work done. It is planned in the near future to reclaim that portion of the harbor in which the frigate lies and she prob- ably will be uncovered when the engi- neers begin their work.

Says H Washington, Jan. 9.—A protest against any action by the senate based upon an “appeal to passion or pre- judice” marked the closing arguments today in the defense of Judge Robert W. “Archbald of the United States commerce court, under trial by im- peachment for misbehavior as a fed- eral judge. Declaring that Judge Archbald had violated no law, been guilty “of no misdemeanor and no wrongdoini and had been shown to be a jurist o high integrity and honesty, his_attor- neys, Alexander Simpson, Jr., of Phil- adelphia and A. S, Worthington of Washington, made a vigorous appeal for action by the senate within the Iimits of legal procedure. “Unless senators are going to violate their oaths, they cannot possibly con- vict Judge Archbald,” declared Mr. Simpson, “because it has been dis- proven in each charge that he was guilty of any wrongdoing, or of any crime.” The declaration of Representative Sterling_vesterday in the opening speech for the prosecution that the “constitution was on trial” brought bitter denunciation from both _Mr. Simpson and Mr. Worthington. They declared the house managers were siriving to {mpeach Judge Archbald upon grounds that would not be rec- ognized- in any court. Mr. $impson declared the constru tion put upon Judge @rchbald’s acts by the house led to® the inevitable construction that a judge would not be permitted to order a suit of clothes in a tailor shop owned by one who might eame day be a litigant in his court. The arguments in the trial will close tomorrow night. HAMBURG. LINER HAS RUN SHORT OF COAL Heavy Weather Uses Up Supply—To Replenish at Halifax.

DOUBLE ITS CAPITAL Enormous Profits of New York Inst tution Shown by Chairman of Board of Directors at Money Trust Hearing Washington, Jan. 9.—Enormous profits by the First National bank of New York city were recounted today by George F. Baker, chairman of ihe board of directors of the bank, as a witness before the house money trust committee. Mr. Baker furnished the committee with records showing that since its organization in 1863 with a capitalization of $500,000 the bank has made profits amounting to more than $80,000,000. . Dividends of 226 Per Cent. Years. In the four years since 1908, Mr. Baker told the committee, the bagnk had paid dividends of 226 per cent. or more than twice the total capitaliza- tion ‘which is now $10,000,000. When the capitai was Increased to that amount in 1901 a special dividend of $9,500,000 was declared, Mr. Baker said, to enable the stockholders to take up the additional investment. In 1908 in order to provide $10,000,000 of cash for the organization of the First Se- curities company to take over the bus- iness “which the bank could not do under the law” Mr. Baker said, a special dividend of $10,000,000 was de- clared.

Samuel Untermyer, counsel for the committee from the figures supplied by Mr. Baker, calculated that since he assumed the presidency of the First National in 1873 that institution has paid dividends of 18,650 per cent. on its original capitalization. Mr. Baker flatly opposed the sug- gestion made by Mr. Untemyer that national banks be required to make public their assets in order that de- positors and stockholders might know the nature of securities held by the banks, the witness declaring he saw no possible good that could come of such a provision. Favors Interlocking Directorates. ‘That there is no impropriety in one man_holding directorships in two or more potentially competitive banks, railroads or industrial corporations was another stand taken by Mr| Baker. Mr. Untermyer reviewed with him a long list of railroads In_which he was a director: _some of which the lawyer heid_were potentially competing lines. Mr. Baker declared that it was rather an advantage to hold such director- ships, “because differences between the companies can thus be readily ad- Justed.” “Such a situation,” he continued, “Is to all partles con- in Four often beneficial cerned.” Contempt Proceedings Against Henry. The witness did not approve of the “voting trust form of control of cor- porations by which the stockholders turn over their voting rights to vot- ing trustees, but said that he would not disapprove of it if stockholders desired it. He further said that the voting trustees of the Quaranty Trust company, himself, W. H. Forster and H. P. Davison, had never held a meet- ing. What may become a test in the courts of the power of the committes in investigating the affairs of the na- tonal banks developed today when the committee and the house unanimously directed the speaker to certity o the district attorney of the District of Co lumbia the case of George G.
