Turkey Rejects Austria's Offer

Coustsntiuople jan. 1.-THE council
of ministers today decided to reject Aus-
trials offer of $40, 800, 900 as indemnity
for the annexation OF Bosnia and Herze-
govins.
Accompanying the rejection vas the
formulation Of the following demands by
Turkey.
An indemnity of SIT, $50, 0OO,s voice
In the future treatment Of the Mobam-
medan residents of the annexed prov.
inces, and the assumption By Austria
OF a share OF the Ottoman debt, proper
Tomato to the value of the provinces.
This action by Turkey puts az end to
the hope Of a peaceful settlement OF the
differences between the Porte and Aus.
tris. Austria announced at the time
the foreign Office rene we'd negotiations
last Friday that the offer rejected today
was the last she would make.
The new demands by Turkey are I'm
possible from the Austrian standpoint,
and unless other powers can step in and
accomplish what the disputsnts bsve
failed so sigually to do, it is feared that
declaration of war cannot long be
withheld.
Both the Porte and the Austrian
foreign Office are today In the sngriest
mood since the trouble began.
The Austrian representatives. have
declared that they will return to Vienna
at once aud inform the foreign Office that
it is useless to negotiate further with
Turkey.

BOYS WIN
HANDBALL TROPHIES
TWO YOUTHS SHOW ABILITY
IN SINGLE GAME
pions Played Against Twenty Ops
ponents and Lost but One
Contest Each

Two of the best handball players of
the Violet street playground are Buddy
Williams and Fred Grant, who won
both the singles and doubles in the
recent handball tournament held at
the Seventh street playground courts.
In the tournament each of the players
defeated twenty odd players, and each
lost but one game in the entire series.
Besides being handball players, they
are fast on their feet and, from the
showing made in the last racing tour
nament no more speedy athletes can
be found in any of the various Los
Angeles Fairgrounds.
In the handball tournament Buddy
was the better of the two in serving
the ball, and this gave him the honors
in defeating much older players than
himself. and no doubt Director john
son will enter these two colored boys
In the coming city grammar school
tourney, which will be held next month
on the various Fairgrounds for the
championship of Los Angeles county.
In the coming track and field events
both boys will enter in the so and 100
yard dashes and the relay races for
the Institutions which they will rep
resent.
During the Saturday afternoon
monthly contest in track events they
captured three firsts and two seconds.
In the swimming tournaments held at
Bimini baths during the past month
these youngsters have won several tro-
plies hung UP by DR.. Edwards for the
winners in the Junior class.
