TURKEY NOT TRYING TO
PROVOKE WAR IN BALKANS
Such Is the Opinion of an Amer
lean Official-Would Not Profit
if She Did Win.
NO DEAL WITH RUSSIA

PARIS, Feb. 27.-An American official.
who for two years past has been studying
the conditions in the Balkans, has just ar
rived in Paris and to-day made statement
of the situation. He said:
"I am satisfied Turkey will not declare
war. She has been informed by the powers
that even If she does engage in hostilities
she will gain absolutely no result therefrom
and even may suffer from military occu-
patton by the powers. and that. perhaps.
may result in the separation of Mace
donia from the Turkish empire. 1t is true
that Turkey is sending reinforcements to
Macedonia, but this is due to the prospect
of an outbreak of another insurrection and
possible interference on the part OF Bull
garia now that Russia is occupied with the
japanese. But the Sultan has everything
to lose and little to gain by a war and If
it comes you may depend upon it that Bull
garia will be the aggressor. Should war
come 1 am satisfied that Bulgaria will be
defeated. Operating in the mountains.
where a few men can pick off a whole regi-
ment, the Bulgarians and insurgents have a
distinct advantage. But the Turkish troops
can sweep them around toward Sofa, where
the country is level Bulgaria says she is
able to put 100000 men in the field The
Turks can quickly throw double that num-
Der into Macedonia and reinforce them IL
necessary.
at has been said that Russia and Tur-
key are discussing the question of the
passage of the Dardanelles by the Russian
Black sea fleet Turkey would not give her
consent if asked unless she gained some
concession in the Balkans, such as dealing
with Bulgaria as she saw fit. But Russia
could not make such a concession, because
she would thereby forfeit the preferential
position which she and Austria hold in
consequence of having been designated by
the powers to act as their representatives
in dealing with the Balkan question More
over, Russia understands that if she ceased
to be representative Of the powers, other
powere would intervene. But granting that
Russia may take this risk and induce Tur-
key to permit the passage OF her fleet, this
would be in violation of the Berlin treaty
of which Great Britain is a signatory
power.
at would mean Furthermore that Turkey
and Russia had entered into an understand
ing which might be interpreted as bring
ing into play the Anglo-Japanese alliance.
Aside from this latter point there is hardly
any question that Russia would find British
ships blocking the SueZ canal and the
Straits of Gibraltar Finally the Black sea
fleet has been greatly overrated. II was
examined a short time go by an American
naval officer. He reported that il was not
in very good condition and that in any
event IL of for oversee opera
tiOns, in consequence Of the small coal ca
pacity of the vessels. The ships were con-
structed simply for operations in the Black
sea and not for service in the far East

Bright Meas of IndIana from Journal Correspondents
WORK ON TWO LINES TO
Be BEGUN VERY SOON
Important Links in Northern In
diana Traction Systems Which
Center at Warsaw.
OPEN UP RICH COUNTRY

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WARSAW, Ind, Feb. 27.-Two electric
lines, the construction of which. it is an
nounced, will be begun in the early spring
as soon as the ground thaws sufficiently
to permit the work TO go forward, will
center at Warsaw and Winona and form
the connecting links between lines now in
operation between South Bend and Indian
apolis These connecting lines are separate
projects, but their completion will form an
airline route from important northern In
diana cities to the State capital.
One of these-the Goshen, Warsaw &
Winona Electric Railway, was granted
franchise by the Warsaw City Council last
evening. This system, when completed will
be in the shape of a cross. The main
line will be built from Goshen, the terminal
of the Indiana Railway now in operation
from South Bend south, by way of New
Paris, Milford Leesburg and Warsaw to
Winona Lake. The cross section will center
at Milford, running east to Wawasee lake
and west to Nappanee, the latter branch
opening up the immense onion section of
Kosciusko county. j. B. Hanna a relative
of the late Senator Hanna. f. c. McMillen
and S. G. Morris, Cleveland capitalists, are
behind the project. and. it is said already
have arranged to finance the enterprise.
The other connecting link is the Wabash
Warsaw line embracing in it's route to
Winona, Liberty Mills, North Manchester
Sidney and Claypool. The leading spirit in
this enterprise is V. J. Dreyer, of Dayton.
o. The Dunkards are greatly interested in
the building of this road on account of
their interest in their educational enter
prise at North Manchester, which is I'M
der the management of the church. These
Dunkards have a number of wealthy
Dunkard friends at Dayton, o., and these
in turn are interested in the Appleyard
New England syndicate, which has signi-
fed its willingness to finance the enter
prise. The Wabash Warsaw line will be a
portion of the Indiana Central Railway
system, the other divisions running from
the Ohio State line to Connersville, Ind.
This is in reality the Indiana end of the
Dayton Southwestern, which is now in
progress of construction from Dayton.
All of the surveys and much of the pre-
liminary grading has been done between
North Manchester and Warsaw, but the
continued cold weather forced it's abandon
ment until the weather moderates and the
ice is out of the ground.

ARREST OF THIRTEEN
WOULD-BE LYNCHERS
Sheriff Informs Them He Will Do
Everything in His Power to
Send Them to Prison.
DUGGINS WELL GUARDED
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

Special 10 the Indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE, Feb. H.-Thirteen ar
rests have been made up to this evening OF
men who made bluff at lynching Jerry
Duggins, the triple murderer They cannot
understand their predicament and when
Sheriff Fasig told them he would do all in
his power to send them 10 prison, for the
first time they fully realized the changed
conditions since the last lynching in Terre
Haute. With one or two exceptions the ar
rested men are police characters, several
are ex-convicts and some of them had been
in Jail frequently for misdemeanors. They
knew at the time of the Ward lynching that
the bluff won. the lynching was carried
out and the lynchers. although as well
known as they are now in the Duggins case,
were not molested. They are held on in
formation and the grand jury is investigat-
ing each case to the end that indictments
may be returned for felonies for which
prison sentences can be inflicted. The thir-
teen men comprise practically all the lead
ers at the Jail Tuesday night.
Visitors are not permitted to see Dug
gins. A close watch is being kept on him
10 prevent suicide, but there is little belief
that he would take his own life 1t is now
known that he had arsenic the night he
killed Mrs. Ramsey and her two children
and put some in a coffee pot but he was
too much of a coward to take the poison
