Ilnv nf V GREEKS' GANNON ARE SILENCED Country Names Representative to London Conference CURTAIN FALLS ON BALKAN WAR Ptace Negotiations Will Go Along Rapidly Now and It Is Expected But Little Friction Will Develop, Greece has named her delegates to the London peace conference and there comes word from Constantlnop'e that she has signed the arinl.stlce. Though this latter 'report has not been verified the G-;ek guns seemed to have been silenced and with the end of the fighting on the Aegean Inlands the curtain is finally dropped on the war In the Balkans. I here now seems to be every reason to believe that the peace negotiations here will be hurried and that the Balkan trouble will no longer be a menace to Europe's peace. Servla It Is thought has come down a little from her h'h horse. A dl patch from Sofia says It Is learned that Bulgaria will demand that her frontier shall extend from Mlilla on the Black sea on tiie north through Scutari and Tehorlu to tho gulf of Banns on the south. A Vienna dispatch to the London Daily Telegraph from its corre spondent says: -, 'The Austrian -ment Is look ing forward with ci, . to the end of the peace negotiations In the be. lief, which I am trustworthily In formed is Justified, that her demands will be satisfied. 'There Is no reason, however, why the negotiations should not he brief. Bulgaria and Turkey are already as one and when peace is concluded they will be st III closer together. The treat ment of Alhaniu is the most likely matter to occupy the time In the negotiations. "Servia Is sure to raise the question ftf Duraz.o and Alessio, but Turkey, knowing that whatever happens Al bania will never again be a part of the Turkish empire, will probably not raise a dispute over any claims put forth for any portions thereof. Tur key knows also that the final arrange ments for Albania will not be for the Balkan allies but for the powers." A Belgrade dispatch to the London Telegraph says that the Austro-Hun-garian authorities have stopped at Flume the steamer Hegedisch, with n cargo of sea tons of flour, destined for the Servian army at Durazzo. It is announced that Austria intends to confiscate the flour for the use of her own army, thus creating a sltua- Ion similar to that brought about by the stoppage by Turkey of Servian guns. Another Belgrade dispatch says there Is considerable anxiety over the health of King Peter. O'NEIL TO FIGHT LIQUCR Allegheny Commissioner Says Sunday Will Help Clean Up Pennsylvania. In a speerh delivered to 11,000 men gathered In the Sunday tabernacle In McKeesport, Pa., Allegheny County Commissioner J. Denny O'Neil defied the liquor Interests of Pennsylvania and arrayed himself on the side of those who are fighting the saloon. He nnouured that in the course of time Rev.

Mulvlhlll of the Independent Brewing company and Patrick Keefe, president of the Retail tilquor Dealers' association of Alle gheny county. At present he says they are trying to organizo the house and senate of Pennsylvania and the boast is being made that they will elect the speaker of the house. DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE Recent Events Have Clarified Business Situation, Dun's Finds. Dun's Review of Trade says this week: "Two events coincide to clear tho business situation of disturbing uncer taintiesthe signing of an armistice In the Ralkan war and the decision of the arbitration committee averting a railroad strike. The decision of the mipreme court in the Vnlon Pacific merger caused some unsettlcment in tie securities market, but has had no iher effect. "Demand for iron and steel has suf fered a slight check. The contraction In new business is most apparent In pig iron, but this was anticipated, owing to the extremely large pur chases made recently. Some curtail ment in production of pig Iron In November was due to labor troubles, yet the daily rate established a new high record." Teachers Have Too Much Gab. "Teachers, especially young teach ers, talk loo much," declared Dr. O. T. Corson, former commissioner of edu cation of Ohio, at the Illalr county (Pa.) teachers' Institute at Altoona, Pa.

Mrs. Jack Johnson, Colored Man's While Bride ir lev V A et I Photo bv American Preas Association. JOHNSON WEDS WHITE GIRL Lucille Cameron of Minneapolis Is Black Fighter'. Wife. Jack Johnson, negro pugilist, brought to a climax the series of ex citing events that have crowded his life in the last few months by marry ing in Chicago Lucille Cameron, an at tractive white girl, whose home Is lu Minneapolis, and for tho love of whom a large pa;t of the negro's trouble with the federal and city authorities is responsible. It was the discovery that the pugl liBt had transferred his affections to this nineteen-year-old girl that caused his first wife, Etta Duryea, to take he own life several weeks ago. The marriage ol the negro and the Cameron girl will not affect his prose- cutlon on charges under the Alann act In the sense that a wife is barred from giving testimony against her hus band. Tho Indictments under which Johnson Is to be tried concern his re latlons with a different woman, Belle Schreiber. SUSPECT EXLER GRILLED Police Think They've Made Important Arrest in Schadle Murder Case. "If I did It, I didn't remember; must have been drunk." This was Edward Exler's answer to county detectives after twenty hours of questioning on his whereabouts a week ago last Wednesday night. Exler was later formally "charged with murder in tho rase of Lillian Schadle, twelve years old, found dead In the Fall Hollow reservoir the night of Nov. 28" by Coroner Samuel C Jamison of Allegheny county. Exler was arrested by county de tectives in an East Pittsburg pool room after three days of surveillance by the detectives when they consld ered they had completed evidence to convict him of the attack and murder of the Oak Hill srtioolgirl. Exler is twenty-five years old. DEFENDS LYNCHERS South Carolina Governor Will Let Them Go Unpunished. In the name of the state of South Carolina.

Attracted by the screams of Mri Sophan, who was tearing frantically u the weatherboarding of the bumin building, a milkman who was passlr. ran to the barn. -The only entrance to the building was a crackling mas: of flames. The mothers attempted to throw themselves through thd flames.- whlcli were leaping from dry hay Just within the door, to save the children. Nelg'n bors seized the frantic women ant compelled them to return to their homes. An ax was at last found and men quickly chopped Into the north side of the building, the farthest from the flames. When the boards were to'rn away three blackened objects rollei upon the shoulders of the rescuers They were the charred bodies of the children. The bodies were so bad'.y charred that at first the parents were not able to identify their children an.l not unti some nours later were the parents suflic.ently sure of the identity of the remains to have the bodies removed to the respective homes. Mary Randa had returned early rrom scnooj and, with the two neigh bor children, went to the barn to play It is believed that the children had obtained matches and that Just a3 thev entered the door of the barn a lighted match was dropped in the hay, the children going on across the barn floor. The match set fire to the hay near the door and cut off their escape. VICTORY FOR GOVERNMENT Supreme Court Orders Dissolution of Harrlman Merger. The United States supreme court held that the Harriman merger of the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific is unlawful. The decision reverses the case and orders a new decree, which shall declare that there is no voting power in the stock as now held. It also directs a receiver to be appointed to hold the stock until a dissolution is effected. This Is the most Important, and far- reaching; railroad merger case derided by the supreme court since the Northern Securities case, ft shatters the ambitious plans made by E. II. Harrlman for the merging of the two great lines. The court holds that they are competing lines and that the case Is on all fours with the Northern Securities case. The derision is a great victory for the department of justice which has fought the Harrl man merger slnre the Roosevelt ad ministration. The receiver to be appointed to hold the stock until a dissolution Is effected shall also, according lo the court's decision, hold the dividends until such dissolution Is accomplished.

TAFT DEFE FOREIGN POLICY Sends First cf Scries ol Mes sages to Congress UPHOLDS "DOLLAR DIPLOMACY In Second Message the Prealdent Sayi Business Is Fine Over Country; H Leaves Tariff Problem to Wllso In a message sent to congress Presi dent Taft calls upon the national legi lators and the entire country to tak a more modern, liberal view of th position of the United States among world powers and to grasp more ful the great changes that have take place in the foreign relations of this government, The president's message Is one of the most complete expositions of the foreign policies of the United States that has appeared in any presidential document In recent years. The ac complishments of the legal adminis tration In the field of diplomacy are reviewed and the reasoning upon which the present policies are based is fully explained He foresees the need of a broader American diplomacy than that of th past and appeals to the country'to pre pare Itself for the larger part it Is to play on the world's stage. The keynote of the administration foreign policy has been "dollar diplo macy" or, as the president expressed It, an endeavor to make America diplomacy "respond to modern Ideas of commercial intercourse," and "di rerted to the increase of America trade" in the light of this policy af fairs in Central America and the far east are described fully. The senate through Its failure to permit the administration to len financial aid to Nicaragua Is charged by the president with- responsibility for the disastrous revolution in Nica ragua last summer. President Taft urges, as did Secre tary of State Knox last winter, that legislation be enacted to enable the administration to meet fully the vary ing degrees of discriminatory treat ment which American commerce stilt encounters abroad. Among other things advocated in the message are: Government owned legation build Ings in all foreign countries. A better basis for salary appropria tions for foreign service. Laws to protect the finances of South and Central American republics. Amendment of tho maximum and minimum tariff planks to provide more effective means of meeting discrim lnation against American Imports. Establishment of a merchant marine and proper credit extension to Amerl cans in foreign countries. In his second message to congress Air. Taft says that the business of the country is now on a sound basis and could hardly be better. The con dition of the treasury Is declared to be very satisfactory. The president pleads for the immediate passage of a currency reform measure along the lines of the Aldrieh plan. The tariff the president leaves to the Democrats, saying that it is needless for him to offer arguments favoring a protective tariff. He urges appropriations for three new battleships and thinks a mistake was made when congress provided for only one at the last session. Continued supervision over Porto Rico and the Philippines is strongly recommended Congress is advised to reorganize the army and provide for a greater re serve during times of peace.
