Attorney Frank F. Lambert, who was
brought back from Oregon last week on
charge OF subordnation OF perjury, in
connection with The land frauds, has
made a clean breast of the scheme, ac-
know!edging that he acted as go-between
for the cattemen and old soldiers, and
has agreed TO go before the grand jury
and tell all he knows.
According TO the story told by Lambert
he acted as agent for the cattle kings

MOVE TO FORCE TURKEY

Act.
GERMANYS DIPLOMATIC MOVE.
Lord Lsnsdowoe Has Suggested TO the Other
Powers That Demands Include Judicial as
Wen as Financial Control over Macedonia -
Austria. Germany and Russia Are Not Likely
TO Concur 10 the Scheme.

London (By Cable) Final arrange
ments for combined naval demonstra-
ton against Turkey have been delayed
pending the receipt OF replies from the
powers 10 a suggestion from Lord Lans-
downe, the British foreign secretary,
that the demands be extended to include
not only financial, but judicial. control
over Macedonia by the European powers.
an the extension Of reforms to the
Nilayet of Adrianople. which. though dis
turbed like Macedonia, was not included
IN The present Anstro-Russian scheme.
In making the proposition Lord l.ans-
downe, who is convinced that financial
control alone of Macedonia will be in
adequate to secure order there. hopes to
obviate the necessity OF again resorting
10 the delicate maneuver OF Joint ma
val demonstration and by one coup to
secure concessions which will enable the
powers to permanently settle the Bal
kans
Since Austria and Russia rejected the
original proposal for autonomy in Mace
donna Lord Llnsdownc has been cndeav-
oring by degrees to secure permanent
reforms To his latest proposal it is
stated that Italy and France will proba-
bly, agree readily, but there is little hope
OF Austria. Russia aud Germany concur
ring therein
Al the foreign Office it was said that
refusal of any power 10 agree TO this
new proposal will make no difference in
the attitude OF Great Britain. which coun-
try in any event will Join in the proposed
demonstration against Turkey The next
step. it was said, will be an ultimatum,
in which it will be stated that in the
event OF q refusal by the Porte to accede
TO the demands Of the powers 4 demon
siration will Immediately be begun.
Command Of the combined feet would
fall upon Austria, Russia being in no
position at present to assume command,
as she would be unable to participate in
the seizure OF any Mediterranean port
without passing the Dardanelles which
would be strictly contrary TO the Treaty
OF Berlin, under which the allies operate.
