Athens to the Journal says that the
5000 heroic Hellenes who entered Mace
donia have taken the towns of Baltine
and Cretano, driving out a garrison of
800 Turks at the latter place. They are
now advancing along the snow ridges
OF the Pindue mountains towards
Grovana- They have already cut the
telegraph between Macedonia and
Epirus, closing communication between
the two divisions OF the Turkish army.
The Pindue range, which runs north
and south, is the only safe route for
the insurgents into Macedonia. The
insurgents intend taking to the heights
about Grovana and there will harrass
the Turkish troops in the flank. The
enterprise is daring even to the point
or madness and will go down to his
tory as the bravest act of the century.
There are 5000 irreguIars confronting
trained army of 10000 Turks.
The fact that the Greek soldiers did
not follow the insurgents shows the
splendid discipline in the army. The
war spirit here has reached fever heat.
Five hundred volunteers arrived to-
day from the island of Cyprus and
through the city, headed by
priests, with long, flowing hair, bearing
flags

BOGUS BARON.
Why He Was Allowed to Pass
Through Ogden Unmo1ested

San Francisco, April 13.-Although
Charles Won Arnold was not arrested
at Ogden on requisition papers from
Kentucky, it is extremely probable that
before many days are passed the wom-
an who abandoned her alleged right to
the name of Delmas for the more po-
tent title of Baroness" Won Turkheim.
will find that the honeymoon has by
no means brought an end to her
troubles. Several people have been
busy over the bridegroom's record
since his happy departure, and it now
seems likely that when Charles J. Ar
mold, alias ]. Won Arnold, alias Karl
r. a. Won Steinmitz, alias Baron Turk
helm, welded Jeannine Shurtliffe
Young he committed bigamy.
A telegram was received by Chief
Lee. saying that requisition papers
from Kentucky had arrived in Sacra-
mento for Won Arnold, but that the
governor had refused a warrant be-
cause the man had passed out of the
state before the requisition was made.
so the bridal party passed through
Ogden unmolested. There is no doubt
that the bogus baron has left behind
another wife in this city. although her
present whereabouts are not known.
Furthermore. the tracing of the
proofs of Won Anfoldzs marriage To
this woman develops possibility of
there being a third woman who has
legally borne his name and yet has
never been separated by law Arnold
was married to Erma Paul of Chicago
at Aurora, Ill, on March 10, 1890.

ARMOR PLATE BILL.
Senator Chandler Shows How He
Would Fix Things.

Washington, April Ex-senator Chandler
today introduced a bill empowering the
secretary of the navy to take possession
of the armor plants of the Bethlehem and
Carnegie companies. There are two bills
one applying to each institute, the pro-
visions being the same in both. Senator
Chandler says ii is contemplated only
that the Bethlehem works be taken, I'M
less in case of necessity. The principal
section of the bill authorizes and directs
the secretary of the navy forthwith to
take possession of the land, buildings and
machinery that constitute the armor
making plant of the two companies. He
is directed to hold and use such land.

The Riley Grammar Case.

New York, April 1s.-The appellate
division of the supreme court handed
down decision in Brooklyn today, re-
versing the decision of the lower courts
in refusing to continue the temporary
injunction obtained by Charles r.
Grammar, or Riley Grammar, as he is
known on every race course in the
country, against the Westchester Rae
ing association The opinion says the
rule under which Grammar was ex-
Guided from the track was without
force and utterly void
Justice Hatch writes the opinion for
the court, and says, in part:
All the race tracks in this country
recognize the rules of the New York
Jockey club Grammar bred horses and
raced them on the turf, therefore it was
necessary that he should have free ac-
cess to the race courses. When bust
ness is not one of right but is
permitted by the state as a privilege or
franchise, the property in such bust
ness is affected by a public interest.
The transactions of the Westchester
race course fall under this rule

Chicago, April 1S.-According to the
records in the Chicago police bureau of
identification, the man who is said to
have married the San Francisco woman
JEANNE Young, giving her the alleged
title of Baroness Robert Ludwig Won
Turkheim, was known in Chicago from
the year 1888, when he first located in
the city, as Charles j. Arnold, a pri-
vate detective.
Associated with Bob Bruce. since
dead. he did a divorce business until
the firm was broken up, and though
he found another party, he soon found
it better to go elsewhere. Subsequently
he was heard of in Minneapolis, again
at his former business, that of a de-
tective. A wealthy woman of the Min
nesota city wished to get a divorce
from her husband and employed Ar
mold. Then the woman found that her
silver service and $1,000 had been
stolen. She had the police look the
matter up They searched Arnold's
house, but he could not be found.
AfterWard the silver was found
Then, according to police reports, the
man went south. His next move was
to Sacramento, and up to his last APP
pearance as a German baron he is sup
posed to have continued his detective
work

Where Duty Points.

Washington, April 13.-An address of
THE situation and the course that duty
points has been issued by a joint eau
Gus of Populist senators and congress
men. The address declares that never
in the history of the party has there
been such cause for hope on the part of
those who are seeking reforms along
financial and industrial lines as at the
present time.
ITO the Peoples party it is as
serted, is due the credit for the bolt
in the Republican party convention at
ST. Louis. and for the revolt in the
Democratic party that rescued the Chi
cago convention from the clutches of
the bondholders and banking COM
hine.''
An appeal is made to the reform pa
pers to join in the effort TO push for
ward the cause of the party and to
strengthen and build it up.

Going to Pieces.

New York, April 13.-The Herald this
morning says: There was a mysteri-
ously called meeting of the National
League at the Fifth Avenue hotel last
evening, at which eight clubs were
represented personally and four by
proxy. The absentees were the Phila-
delphia, Pittsburg, Washington and st.
Louis clubs. Mr.. Soden held the Wash
ington and Pittsburg proxies, Mr.
Friedman the Philadelphia, and Mr..
Brush was authorized to act for Won
Der Ahe. Though none would admit it,
the meeting was to make overtures for
Rusie to Mr.. Friedman of the New
York club.
Hart, Robinson and Brush held a Sc
cret meeting in Indianapolis last week.
1t is now certain that they then and
there received a proposition from RuSie
to compromise the case. Mr.. Friedman
was not approached until he was in
vited to attend the meeting yesterday.
It is certain that he was not party to
the proposed compromise. The desire
to compromise comes wholly from the
Rusie side, which confirms the we'll
defined rumor of month ago that
Amos was ready to surrender on the
best terms possible. Though the presi-
dent of the New York team is as firm
in his stand as he ever was he may be
induced to take a few steps toward
meeting the prodigal player.
This is, however, a suppositional
statement, as the New York president
positively refused to talk upon the sub
ject last night. 1t is believed that some
offer of compromise was made TO Mr..
Friedman at last evenings session and
that he will have until today noon to
it. Probably in this time eff
forts may be made to induce him for
the sake of other clubs, TO at least
make a pretense of compromise in or
der to make the rebellious players re-
turn less humiliating. 1t is probable
that something definite will be agreed
to today which will either bring Rusie
back to New York or effectpally bar

What Julian Saws.

New York, April 13.-Martin Julian
arrived in this City today. In an inter
view published in the Evening Tele-
gram. Julian is credited with saying:
I'VE have never stated that Fitzsim-
mons retired from the ring, or that he
would not fight. If any new aspirants
come forward and a good purse is Of
fered. Fitzsimmons will not shrk a
fight. He has never been a shirker
The talk of Kid Mccoy challenging him
is nonsense. Why, Fitzsimmons taught
him all he knows"
Speaking of Brady's threat to chal-
lenge Fitzsimmons to another fight,
Julian is reported as saying:
Brady is not such a fool as to at
tempt it, and Corbett has no particular
desire to meet Fitzsimmons again"
Regarding the rumors of the failure
of the vitascope pictures of the cham
pionship battle, Julian said:

dispatches are to the effect that they

Warrant for His Arrest.

San Francisco, April 13-Charles J. Ar

will probably be brought back here to
answer to charge of bigamy. A war
rant for his arrest was issued today by
Judge Allen of Oakland upon the COM
plant CI ms ilrst VIE, whom he deserted
he has never been divorced. The Oakland
chief of police wired the Omaha chief of
police to arrest the bogus baron upon
his arrival in that city, where he was
due at O'Clock this afternoon and to
detain him until requisition papers may
be sent to fetch him back TO California.
Upon his return a charge of perjury will
also be filed against him on the false
affirmation he made last Saturday regard
ing his name when he procured the Ii

Cissy Fitzgerald. the London variety

two nights has endeavored to delight
audiences at the Salt Lake theateT
with her famous wink, is married.
Cissy has been married several times
since her advent as a professional in
this country-that is. according TO
newspaper reports-but Cissy has de-
MED them all. This time it is differ
ent.
Miss Fitzgerald was seen at the Hotel
Knutsford last evening and shown a
telegram to the effect that she had
been quietly married some time ago
to Albert Claybury, wealthy cotton
broker Of New York City. Cissy looked
surprised and broke in: why, how
did you find out?"
Then she excused herself and held a
few moments consultation with her
manager, Mr.. Burns, after which she
remarked:
II refuse to talk; will neither affirm
nor deny the rumor. But how did you
newspaper men find this out?
who is Mr.. Claybury? Well. he is
not a member of the company-in fact,
has no connection with the stage. He
is a cotton broker of Thomas street,
as you know, and he is not the wealth.

with a knowing wink.
why, bless you, how could we have

Mr.. Claybury since 1 left New York

mors to the effect we were married out
west are not true.
