Constantnople. July l0-The collective
note of the powers demanding cessation
OF the obstruction Of the peace negotia-
tions. which was presented by the ambas-
sailors TO the Turkish government yester-
day. is couchcd in the most severe terms.
II insists that the frontier between
Greece and Turkey be as traced by the
military attaches OF the embassies of the
powers and emphasizes the unanimous
determination Of the powers 10 secure a
prompt conclusion of peace.
As. however the note does not fix date
within which settlement Of the questions
in dispute must I've affected. and as 1t does
not mention the steps il Is proposed e
take in the event of Turkey not yielding
TO the wishes Of the po ers, there is grea

COVERINGS CASE
Alger Regrets the Littleness Of the
Punishment Ordered

Alger Regrets the Lttleness Of the
Punishment Ordered
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Secretary
Alger today made public the reprimand
administered to Captain Lowering by
sentence Of .court-martial, as follows:
"By order OF the president, the pro-
ceedings, findings and sentence in the
case OF Captain Leonard A. Lowering,
Fourth infantry, are approved. 1t Is,
however, disappointing that an offense
so grave and, as an example, so far
reaching as this should have been visited
with so light penalty. There is no
question but Private Hammond de-
served punishment for his conduct, but
he should have received it in a lawful
way. The military laws governing the
army are explicit. They prescribe the
duties Of officers and enlisted men, with
the penalties for their violation. Under
them. both have rights and obligations.
when, therefore, an officer, with the
intelligence and experience with which
Captain Lowering is credited, not only
violates these laws, but exhibits such a
lack of humanity as Is shown in this case,
he should receive more severe sentence
than a mere reprimand. Committing
such acts degrades the officer more than
the soldier he Furnishes, and shows unfit
ness for the career of an officer or COM
mand of men. Under excitement. men
do things which in sober moments they
recall with sorrow and regret, but this
case Is aggravated by the fact that after
weeks Of deliberation the officer evinces
no regret for his wrongful acts"

Four Of the Jennings Gang Safe in
Jail
MUSKOGEE, 4. T., Dec. 6.-Four
members Of the Jennings gang of out
laws were lodged in jail here tonight.
Al and Frank Jennings, the reputed
leaders Of the band, are among the pris-
oners. The two Jennings brothers and
Tom O'Malley were captured by four Of
United States Marshal Benefits men
early this morning while travelling in
q covered wagon east Of here, toward
the Arkansas line. The deputies sur
prised them on the road and they sur
rendered without firing q shot. The
deputies then went to a house near
Bond Switch and captured Morris
O'Malley, catching him in bed. Since
last Tuesday the deputies had been close
upon the trail Of the bandits, for whom
there are standing rewards aggregating
$4,000. On Tuesday last Marshal Ben
nett's men encountered the gang at a
house in the western part of the Chero-
kee Nation. The detectives then sue
ceeded In arresting John O'Malley but
the others made their escape at that
time and had evidently satisfied them
selves that the officers had been eluded,

surprised today.

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 6-When the

the captain gave two small boys into the
care of the harbor police. They had
been taken to Stockton Saturday night
by a man representing himself as their
father, who left them on the boat and
went ashore. AS he did not return, the
captain brought them back to this city.
After much trouble it was learned that
their names were George Rose and
George Southwick, and that they had
escaped from the Ladies' Protection and
Relief society's home. The man who
took them to Stockton was a stranger
who found them on the water front.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The attend-

yond the presentation Of the presidents

thereto would be transacted.
Prior to the converting of the senate
the members passed half hour in ex-

given cordial reception by his Repub-

Chas. Page Bryan, the new United
States minister to China, was a notable
figure in the reserved gallery, and in the
diplomatic gallery were several lnem-
bers Of the Chinese legation and other
members of the diplomatic corps.
When the senate convened after the
recess, Hon. H. D. Money, the new sem
ator from Mississippi, entered the cham
ber, but the oath Of Office was not adj
ministered to him during the session.
The reception and the reading Of the

A DURRANT DECISION
WHICH ONLY INCREASES THE
COMPLICATIONS
The Supreme Court Says There Is No
Appeal Pending From Judge
Bahr's Court

( eAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 6.-The Dur
rant case is now in a more complicated
condition than ever.
The supreme court Of this state this
morning, to all practical purposes, re-
fused. though not in so many words, to
entertain the motion Of Deputy Attor
ney-General Carter, upon the ground
that In reality there Is no appeal pending
before the highest tribunal Of this state.
Incidentally the chief justice took oc-
casion to score Superior Judge Bahrs
in rather pointed language, while
throughout the argument heard at the
mornings session, the justices plainly
evinced their resentment at the action
Of the lower court judge. who had dared
to pass criticism upon the superior
tribunal.
Deputy Attorney General Carter in
the famous case today addressed the
court upon his motion, made some time
ago, to shorten the time necessary in
which preliminary warning must be
given in order to secure q motion to dis
mis- any pending appeal. The usual
time required by the supreme court Is
ten days, but Deputy Attorney General
Carter desired to clear the supreme
court of the case by securing the dis
missal of the appeal today. This he was
unable to do, however. for the reason
that the supreme court indicated that
in granting the certificate of probable
cause. q short time ago, the result was
practically a reversal of Judge Bahrs
action in sentencing the famous Grim
fnal to be executed within forty-eight
hours Of the receipt Of the news Of the
action Of the United States supreme
court.
Az Durrants attorneys had appealed
to the state supreme court from Judge
Bahrs' order Of execution. they, as did
