A WAR CLOUD FADES AWAY.
BULGARs AND TURKS WILL NOT
FIGHT OVER INDEMNITY.
Russia Proposes a Novel Scheme for
Settling the Dispute and II
Is Accepted.

st. Petersburg. - The Turko-Bul-
garian deadlock over the amount
of money to be paid Turkey by Bull
garia because of the Bulgarian dec
laration of independence is practical
ly broken and the war cloud in
southeastern Europe has been dis
sipated by the acceptance of plan
proposed by Russia which reconciles
in a novel manner the Turkish claim
OF S24 ,000, 900 and the Bulgarian offer
of $16,400,000.
This plan is based on the war in
demnity of s1,60O,O00 year which, in
accordance with the Berlin treaty of
1878, Turkey is to pay Russia for 100
years. These payments bear no in
terest. The Russian proposal Is to
remit them until the Turkish claim
against Bulgaria is satisfied. Russia
will collect instead $16.400,000 from
Bulgaria in similar installments.
These payments will bear interest,
and the amount of this interest will
recoup Russia.
Bulgaria has assented to this pro-
posal, and the Russian government
mas assurances LnaJ Ine plan Is sat
isfactory to the Turks.
The settlement of the Turko-B Bull
garian difficulties, it is stated in well
informed circles, involves recognition
of the new kingdom OF Bulgaria,
whose proclamation Of independence
precipitated the crisis. AS soon as
the details of the arrangement have
been worked out the protocols will be
signed. 1t is understood that Turkey
will take the lead in recognizing EN-
peror Ferdinand, not waiting for a
conference of the powers to do so.
The other powers will perforce follow
this example. The Russian scheme
also will obviate the necessity for in
ternational control of Bulgarian
finances which would have been al
most inevitable had Bulgaria been
forced to float loan to cover pay
ment of the railroad and the Rune
lian tribute. AS it is the kingdom will
be so burdened as not to be able to
keep up the military establishment.

Apples Used as Perfume.

Temptinglooking apples exhibited
at the entrance to the dining-room in
the Hotel Knickerbocker and imported
direct from France, are the Pomme
Reinette or Little Queen apples. They
are pale yellow and sweet, and said to
be particularly pleasing to foreigners
who prefer them to the tarter apples
priced by Americans. Said a waiter:
Country women at home put these
to perfume the linen. One apple will

SENTIMENT NEVER TOO OLD.

asked,
"Yes. You see, am really in love
with you. l would like to propose, you
know. but l cannot do 1t in any way
that does not seem too old-too trite.
l have thought of all the known ways,
and have actually found myself laugh

that my whole existence-Ah, there

thetically.

war. receive $12 per month age pen
sion although I am SO years of
age. 1 do not understand why so
many soldiers who are better able to
work than 1 am get higher rate of
pension. Will you inform me through
your pension column how l can get
higher rate of pension and why 1
only receive s12 per month pension at
my age?-Nathan M. T.
Answer-,You receive $12 per month
pension because you have not reached
the age of 70 years; at which age the
rate allowed under the act of Febru-

you attain the age of 70 years, you

higher rate of pension through the

by proving that you are disabled from
the performance of manual labor to an
extent warranting a higher rate than
$12 per month, by reason of disabil
ity contracted in service and line OF

20 YEARS A CHAMPION


; Upe0SA1 0oGkoocomooo0o 20 4no <xeoo
NE WYORK, Jan. seldom is
Il that an athlete remains before
the public for any length of time.
The strenuous work and the rigors
OF training cause retirement, gen.
orally after few years, hence the
celebration of Ray C. Ewry's twen-
tieth anniversary of active athletic
competition, to be celebrated this
month at the New York Athletic
club, Is an event so unusual as to
attract widespread attention.
Many times a worlds champion,
Ewry is one of the most remark
able athletes the world has ever
produced. Grand Old Man" of
athletics, his teammates have
christened him, and the appellation
is is well founded when one con-
siders that in his twentieth years
of unbroken success Ewry was able
to hold his own against all corners
at the recent Olympic meet in Lon
don.
Think of it, ambitious youths and
retired champions. Twenty years
of active competition and IS of alb
solute supremacy. Is it not an al
most incredible record?
Ewry was born in Lafayette,
Ind, Oct. IA. 1873, and made his
athletic debut in December, 1888,
wearing the colors of the Y. M.
c. A. In 1890 he entered Purdue
university, where he developed
into a sterling standing high and
broad jumper. and the western
titular meet that year saw him
crowned champion. Since that day
his career has been a succession of
victories.
In 1900 Ewry participated in the
Olympiad in Paris and won three
firsts, the standing broad, high and
triple jumps, a feat unheard of at
/ that time. Nor was it all. In the
high jump he created a record of
five feet five inches, which he has
since bettered, but only by one
Nguarter of an inch.
At the Pan-American in Buffalo :,
he repeated his triple victory and
made record of "a feet 91s inches
for the three jumps. In 1904, in st. |
Louis, all there standing jumps
were again won by him. In Athens,
in 1906, he won two more, and this |
year, at London, he repeated. Thus
he has won 10 firsts, or so points, |
the record number an individual
has scored for Uncle Sam since the |
reintroduction of the Olympian |
games.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1909-01-04

Ewry's name appears in the A
A. U. almanac with a frequency
that is disconcerting. Not only has
he a great number of champion.
ships to his credit, he is also the
holder of many records for all man
ner of jumping. Among the worlds
best figures which he boasts of are
the following:
Standing high jump, 3 feet 81
inches.
Standing broad jump, II feet Az
inches.
Three standing. jumps, 35 feet
So inches. .-
Backward standing jump, 9 feet
6 inches.
Jump kick, 9 feet 10 inches.
Double footed kick, Z feet 10
inches.
Ewry is tall, slight and of dis
tinguished appearance. He stands
six feet one inch and weighs 165
pounds. His courtesy and sports
manship have made him a general
favorite and few athletes are better
known or better liked
