Tondon, Jan. 30.—The curtain may rise on the second act of the Balkan war next Monday. The allies renounc- ed the' armistice at 7 o'clock, and if events take the prescribed course the ‘bombardment of Adrianople will fol- low after an interval of four days. In- deed, the bombardment has been scheduled for 7 o'clock Monday even- in; Yet even at this eleventh hour war is in no wise assured. Only a few hours before the allies proclaimed their momentous decision the Ottoman gov- ernment presented its reply to the joint Tote of the powers on Jan. 17. ° Young Turks Change Front. Never has a diplomatic problem tak- en such swift and surprising changes as these negotiations for peace. The Young Turks who seized the govern- ment with shouts of defiance have un- dergone a marvelous transformation. Instead of drawing the battle line at the quesion of surrendering Adrian- ople, they offer a compromise which comes so near meeting the Bulgarian demands that a settlement should not be impossible, and they leave the Aegean Islands to the disposition of the powers. - Compromise Seems Possible. The difference between what Con- tantinople is ready to give and what ulgaria is ready -to accept has been weduced to such small proportions that even some of the Balkan delegates be- Jieve a compromise may yet be found. Constantinopls new asks °simply the retention of that section of Adrianople where the holy shrines are situated. Bulgaria always meant to leave the mosques and shrines to Turkey, and | even to confer the right of extra terri- toriality, thus giving them something of the status of the vatican in @Rome. | The vital differences between the two nations amount merely to Turkey’s de- manding the shrines and the sections surrounding them. Aegean Islands Problem Sol\!ad. The Thracen frontier line, therefore, with the exception of the town of Adri- snople has been practically agreed, to, as Turkey is ready to leave o ‘the powers the disposition of the land on | the right bank of the Maritza river, which conditions, as is known, the al- Jies are satisfied to accept. The ques- tion of the Aegean Islands ailso has pactically been solved, as the porte is disposed to leave their settlement to $he powers. : All hte powers have urged the allies to do their utmost to prevent the re- gumption of hostilities because of the grave complications that might other- wise arise. = THE TURKISH NOTE. Willing to Make Great Sacrifice in In- terest of Peace. Constantinople, Jan. 30.—In its reply o the joint note of the powers, the Young Turkish government asserts it- self boldly. Apart from prosposals to divide Adrianople and a plea for the retenti8n of the Aegean Islands, the new government takes advantage the occasion ‘to press for relief from the fetters of tariff and foreigners’ ex- tra territorial rights, under which the | Turks have long chafed. “The Ottoman government does not hesitate to recognize that the conclu- sion of peace corresponds with the hopes and interest of ali’ says the note, “and that it is desirable to put an end as soon as possible to a strug- gle which it in no way provoked. “The jmperial government has al- ready given undeniable proofs of a conciliatory spirit by consenting to im- mediate sacrifices. _Adrianople being an essentially Mussulman town and the second capital in Turkey, and therefore indissoluubly bound up with the em- pire, the mere Tumor of its cession pro- voked a sentiment of ~reprobation throughout the country and aroused such excitement as to bring about the resignation of the last cabinet. “The Turkish government is wiMing, as a final proof of its pacific disposi- tion, to place itself in the hands of the powers regarding that part of Adrianople situated on the right bank of the Maritza river. The mosques and historlc monumenis are on the left bank, and the retention of that section is a necessity which the government cannot fall to take account of Without ing the country to a commotion which might result in the gravest con- sequences.” e Regarding the Aegean Islands, the ATt 1 sat forth that those hear- est the Dardanelles are indispensable to the defense of the csapital, while the others, forming an integral part of Asia Mfnor, are no less indispensa- ble to the security of the Asiatic pos- sessions. Any diminution of Turkish authority, therefore, would transform them into centers of agitation, which would spread to the adjoining shores and create a state of unrest similar to that n Macedonia, which has threat- ened and still threatens the tranquil- Ity of Europe.” g Turkey offers to abide by the de- cision of the powers resarding the status of the islands occupied by the allies if they have regard for the fore- going considerations and the Integrity of the Dardanelles, which the note cleverly contends is a question of the highest importance in Europe. In con- clusion the note says: : “The imperial government is com- vinced that the great powers in a spirit of justice and equity will recog- nize the extent of the sacrifices to which Turkey has consented and will asree that the sublime porte would be right in rejecting any further demands Which might be raised by the Balkan allies.” LAME, HALT AND BLIND VOTED AT LONDONDERRY. Unprecedented Contest for a Seat in Parliament. Londonderry, Ireland, Jan. 80— ©Owing to the fact that a nationalist wvictory would give the Irish party a majority of the seats in Ulster the bye election for the seat in the house of gommons to represent the city of Lon- fonderry was contested in a most de- Jermined manner today. The seat was Eade vacant by the retirement of the arquis of Hamilton, a unionist, to ake the place of his father, the late Juke of Abercorn, in the house of ‘ords. ¥ In spite of the dr “ching rain, a cecord poll of 99 per cent. of the elec- Yorate Bumbering slightly over §,000 was obtained. No official announce- ment of the result will be known un- til tomorrow, but the nationalists claim victory for their candidate, David C. Hoge, by a majority of 34 over the unionists' candidate, Col. H. C. Paken- hem. Scenes almost unparalleled in Irish elections were enacted at the polling ths. Voters had been brought from he American continent and other dis- ¢ places. The sick, the dying, the alt and the blind were taken to the polls. Attempts were made to im- ersonaie the dead. Others were so ill hat they were unable to move a hand. ©One unionist voter dropped dead in his own house while a motor car with a doctor was walting at the door to onvey him to the booth. Another, a aralytic, was able to utter only half f Pakenhem’s name and his voie was; lowed. Still another recorded his ote under the guise of an invalid. He proved to be a man wanted by the lice to undergo a term of imprison- ent. The town was full of constabulary nd was in a feyer of excitement roughout the whole day. ‘TWO SUFEFRAGISTS SEEK ARREST IN NEW YORK. Highly ®Indignant Because the Police Did Not Take Them. > New York, Jan. 30.—Two well dress- ed women suffragists who refused to give their names tried to include them- Selves among the prisoners when the police today arrested seven _young women, among them Miss Lencra O'Rellly, a votes-for-women advocate, outside a white goods factory during . a disturbance in connection with the garment workers’ strike.

Railroads New York, Jan. 30.—Before the strike vote of the firemen is counted, Which the conference committes of managers for the 54 eastern railroads affected admit will show that 90 per cent. of those voting favor a strike, the Committee in a statement issued to- night repeated its offer to refer the Gifferences to “an unprejudiced sboard of cltizens” for settlement. This offer is made again, the statement says, be- fore the firemen have “gone too far” and by declaring a strike cause a seri- ous menace to the country by stopping eastern railway traffic. 1 The firemen will conclude their bal- loting tomorrow and as soon there- after as the votes can be counted the result will be announced. Both the roads and ‘the firemen have expressed willingness to , arbitrate the men’s wage and other demands, but differ as to method, the men insisting upon and the roads declining to accept arbitra- tion under the Erdman law. MULE’S KICK RESTORES MEMORY OF A FARMER. Enables Him to Locate $3,800 Which He Buried in 1907. Enid, Okla., Jan. 30.—A kick on the head by a mule was worth $3,800 to John Allen, a farmer living near here. Immediately after Allen was operated on today for a fracture of the skull which the mule’'s hoof had inflicted last Saturday, he remembered where he had burled that amount of money during the financial panic of 1907. Al- len's memory was impaired by an in- Jury he received when his team ran away and threw him out of a Wwagon a few days after he had buried the money. It was known that he had withdrawn the money from a bank and several persons suspected of stealing Allen’s hoard were arrested, but none were convicted. After the operation made necessary by the mule’s kick Al- len seemed entirely to have recovered his memory. CONFERENCE OF WOMEN’S ‘CLUBS FEDERATIONS. A New England Organization Women Formed.

NEGRO Qf 42 MARRIES A WHITE GIRL OF 15. Incident Furnishes Text of Spesch by a Georgia Congressman. ——— ‘Washington, Jan. 3&.—Representa- tive Roddenbery of Georgia, on the floor of the house today, made another hot attack upon intermarriage of ne- groes and- whites. He discussed the marriage of George ¥, Thompson of Chicago, a 42 vear old negro, and Helen E. Hanson, a 15 year old white girl, at Niles, Mich, several weeks ago. Mr. Roddenbery declared that the marriage ceremony was performed by Charles Ager, “a minister of the gos- pel—a white minister at that—who ought to be tarred and feathered and put into exile.” The southern congressman waved about his head a copy of the mar- riage certificate of the couple and quoted from newspaper reports of the marriage, which recounted revolting details. “My God!” shouted Mr. Rodden- bery, “that the laws of any ofvilized state gwill pérmitpa ttal bruwe: to have sanctioned Uy law his wedlock to such a child!” Thompson is being held in the coun- ty jail, pending the outcome of the child’s injuries. He is formally charged with abduction. “As abhorrent as mob law is, men who are human can be tempted beyond endurance. I appeal for the law of states to prevent these dangers and outrages.” HAD NEVER HEARD OF DARROW OR M’NAMARA Venireman Kept Informed on Murders and Auto Accidents.

TO VOTE ON TUESDAY Several Bills of Interest to Eastern Connecticut Introduced Yesterday— New London Bill Still in Committee. Hartford, Conn., Jan. 30—The gener- al assembly had an easy day today with very little new business sent in. The house members were expectant that some suggestion would be made by the committee on contingent ex- penses on the matter of transportation ©of members, and that the New London harbor repeal measure would come in. Thg latter was not destined to reach the house as it had to be held under e rules for a day in the senate before transmission to the lower body. The mileage question will be reported up- on Tuesday. Few members look for any plan which will save them the ex- pense of mileage. Probably two score members were absent today. Caucus on Highway Cemmissionership. During the afterncon democratic senators caucused on the highway commissionership, and there were oth- er meetings, chiefly of committees to organize. The Consolidated Trolley Improvement assoclation, composed of officials of cities and towns, had ar- ranged for a meeting at the capitol at which consideration was to be given several bills which are to be sent in but the attendance of members was slim as letters of invitation sent out from Bridgeport on the 14th had for the most part failed to be delivered. Several Trolley Bills. - The explanation is that as members did not get thelr seats until yesterday the huge quantity of mall sent to the capitol for them could not be distri- buted. Among the trolley measures are those providing for six fares gor twenty-five cents; to prevent riding on running boards, to prevent overcrowd- ing of cars, to compel companies to| put on more cars during rush hours and to give cities and towns control over the tracks of the company. There are some other bills of a different character. New Business Pours In. In both branches of the general as- Sembly today the business consisted mainly of receilving new measures.

RECALL IS VOTED DOWN Bristow Believed People Should Have| Right to Change President When They Change Congress. Washington, Jan. 30.—Presidential terms ranging all the way from two to six years; prohibition against second terms and third terms; exemptions that woulq affect Roosevelt, Taft and Wilson, and proposals for the recall and the direct popular election of pres- idents, were thrust into the semate today in rapid succession during the first day’s consideration of the con- stitutional amendment limiting a pres- ident to a single term of six vears. Over Dozen Amendments Pending. In a session filled with lively de- bate Senator Bristow’s proposal that a president could be recalied at_any regular election was voted down, 58 to 10, and Senator Hoke Smith’s amend- ment to make the single term four vears instead of six was defeated 42 to 25. Over a dozen amendments were pending when the senate recessed to- night and they will be taken up te- morrow. Amendment Bars Roosevelt. Senators Dixon and Poindexter, pro gressives; Bristow, progressive-repub- lican, and Lodge, republican, led the fight against a restriction of the pres- idential term. Senator Williams, dem- ocrat, proposed a four year term, with the privilege of re-election only, but his amendment was so drawn as to prevent Colonel Roosevelt from seek- ing another election. Ten Votes for Recall. The defeat of the Bristow amend- ment for recall of the president fol- lowed a short debate, in which Sena- tor Bristow urged that to make the federal administration properly respon- sive to public demand the people should have the right to change the president -when they change congress. The vote on the recall amendment mustered ten votes only in its favor, the following senators voting for it: Ashurst, Bristow, Clapp, Dixon, Gron- na and Pondexter ,progressives and republicans; Martine, Owen, Perky and Thomas, democrats. Taft and Roosevelt. The candidacies of Roosevelt, Wil- son, Brvan and Taft figured in the fight throughout the day. Senator Borah said President Taft had not used the power of his_office -for Als own re-election in 1912 to any gredi- er extent than President Roosevelt had used it:in 1908 for the election of Mr. Taft. “President Roosevelt wanted Mr. Taft nominated because he believed Taft would carry out the principles to which the Roosevelt administration was_devoted,” said Senator Bristow. “A president who would not use ev- ery effort to perpetuate his policles would not be worth his salt.” “Product of Diseased Mind.” Senator Hitchcock asked if it was not ‘“generally believed” that Roose. velt favored President Taft's nom- ination in 1908 so that he himself might be a €andidate in 1912, “I know the senator himself does not entertaln such a thought,” re- tortea Senator Borah, “so I feel free to say that such an idea is the pro- duct of a diseased mind.” Progressives Oppose Six Year Term. Senator Dixon’s charge that a single six_year term was desired chiefly by ambitious aspirants for the presidency, and the declaration of Senators Bris- tow and Poindexter that this pro- poseq limitation would be destructive of American principles of government made up the burden of the progres- sive fight against the resolution. Senator “Bristow declared the peo- ple should be free to choose their own president and to reelect a president when they believed it wise. A DULUTH CARPENTER BECOMES MILLIONAIRE One of Heirs to a Big English Estate Valued at $15,000,000. ‘ Duluth, Minn., Jan. 30.—To find one’s self hefr to a portion of $15000,000 of an English legacy after spending the best years of one's life toiling as a carpenter, is the experience of John Jewell, 46 years old.

Castro Barred From Gountry SECRETARY NAGEL PASSES ON VENEZUELAN'’S CASE KILLING OF PAREDEZ Government Has Information That He Ordered It Without Trial or Hearing of Any .Kind—Counsel to Fight. ‘Washington, Jan. 30.—Cipriano Cas- tro, former president of Vemezuela, was today denied admission to the United States as a visitor by Charles Nagel, secretary of commerce and la- bor. The Venezuelan’s unwavering re- fusal to answer the question whether, while president of his country, he was a panty to the killing 6f General Par- edez was the cause of Secretary Na- gel's order for his deportation. Silence Constitutes an Admission. The cabinet members sustained the adverse report of the immigration au- thorities against Castro on the ground that his declination to answer “may in itself constitute an admission by conduet” of the commission of a fel- ony. The immigration Jaw bars from entry any person convicted of or ad- mitting the commission of a crime in- volving moral turpitude, providing it is not purely a political offense. The secretary held that the murder of Par- edez was not a purely political crime, Alien Compelled to Answer. Further, the secretary declared that an alien was compelled to answer yes” or “no” any pertinent question regarding his admissibility. If per- mitted to refuse he maintained that “immigration service might just as well adjourn.” The alleged information against Cas- tro was furnished the department of commerce and jabor by the state de- partment and Secretary Nagel in his decision, frankly admits that, but for the state department’s action, Castro, Castro probably would have been ad- mitted without question. _ “Cpriar Drobably would have beern a of Venezuela,” he added, “would, un- der ordinary circumstances, have fu nished furiher inducement for such action.” The immigration bureau, he declared, had followed the same course in this case as that pursued in any other where official warning had been given regarding the character of an alien. Directed Killing of Paredez. ‘Tt is officially charged,” said Mr. Nagel, “that Castro, while president of Venezuela and in full possession of the authority of that state, directed the killlng -of Paredcn, without trial or hearing of any kind, Paredez at that time having been made a prisoner while engaged in Tevolt against Cas- T0.” The information that Castro or- dered the killing of the general un- der these circumstances, Mr. Nagel de- clares to be specific and confirmed by authenticated coptes of original tele- grams. Not Engaged in Revelution. The secretary admitted that deci- sions in extradition cases seem to hold that such a crime would be political, “although this view has been ques tioned by high authorits.” Consid- eration, he added however, must be given to the fact that the alleged of- fense was not committed by a person engaged In a revolution against con- stituted -authority, but “by the pres- ident of the republic.in full control of the authority of the state who de- nied the bemefit of the very law which he was charged to preserve.” Also the secretary pointed out that the im migration law was amended in 1903 So as to exempt offenses “purely polit- ical and not involving moral turpi- tude.” Can’t Regard It As Purely Political. “I cannot assume,” said Mr. Nagel, “that any act of violence, committed by the highest authority of the state during a disturbance in disregard of constituted authority, must under all circumstences be regarded as purely political and not involving moral turp itude. If such a conclusion were to be accepted then burning at the stake, or subjecting a victim to tor- ture, or indeed, any offenses com mitted by an official in charge would satisty the exception, provided the act is committed during political excite- ment and against a participant.” Different from Criminal Court. Regarding the broader quesflon as to the right of an allen to answer well directed questions to determine his ad- missibility, the secretary bolds thay the recognition of that privilege woul result virtually in the admission all allens because of the failure of proof against them. He disagrees with the contention that the admission of the commission of a felony cannot be forced under the immigration law, but must be voluntary. “The allen is not in a criminalsconrt where he might stand upon his rights and refuse to make & confession,” eon- cluded the secretary. “He is before an administrative body asking for the privilege to enter, and he is under the necessity of qualifying for that purpose.” CASE GOES TO COURT. Castro’s Lawyer Says It Will Be Fought with Increased Vigor. New York, Jan. 80.—The case of Cipriano Castro is again to be brought before the federal courts.
