Young Mr. Astor's friends realize
that he is frankly and deeply in love
with Miss Claire. This romance

Mr.. Astor dropped in at the Park
Theatre; and, to quote his nearest

He haunted the stage door. but
always Miss Claire's mother was
right at hand. At last the young mil

so tragic an ending, and Vincent

Police Await Word from Lieu
tenants Ryan and Harris,
Now in Chicago.

Chief of Police Corbitt and Captain
Carroll, of the detective bureau. are
today waiting for word from Chicago
which may result in the capture Of
a suspect in the Gaffney murder.
Lieutenant Patrick ]. Ryan, who
was with Gaffney at the fatal shoot

Chicago comforting with the Chicago
police over the arrest of Frank
Noonan. who is thought to be one Of
the, trio followed by Gaffney and
Ryan on December 6. the night of the
shooting.
The police expect that Ryan's re-
markable ability to recognize faces
will result in bringing Noonan to this
city as an accomplice of the two
other gunmen who escaped pursuit by
lodging through freight cars.
When the local police learned that
Noonan. who has a police record, was
being held in Chicago on informa-
ton sent out by Ryan, the latter and
Harris were at once sent there. A
photograph of Noonan had been OBJ
tanned from the New York police by
Ryan, with the result that the police
of every city throughout the country
were warned to be on the lookout for
him. Noonan answers the photo

PANAMA BOMB NOT
s. MEANT FOR TAFT
Legation, After Investigation,
Ascribes Explosion Near Pres
ident to Mercantile Feud.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26,-An ex-
plosion in the park opposite the Tiv-
oil Hotel, which occurred while
President Taft was attending a
dance given in his honor at the Ma
tional Theatre at Panama last night,
is reported in dispatches to the
Panama delegation here today to
have been the outgrowth of business
rivalry between two merchants in the
vicinity.
The dispatches state that the ex-
plosion occurred outside the district
traversed by President Taft, which
was guarded by line of police from
the station to the National Theatre.
"While President Taft was at the
dance, an explosion occurred at De
Lesseps plaza. in front of the Hotel
Tivoli, and blew up the newsstand
at the hotel" says the dispatch to
the legation. 1.-THE cause of the ex-
plosion is believed to have been jeal-
ousy and revenge between two Span
ish rivals in business"
Minister Valdes gave out at the
legation here today official reports
from his government stating that the
minister of foreign affairs had re-
uorted the matter to President Taft,
who was convinced that the explosion
had been in no way connected with
his presence in the city

WILSON CAN ESTABLISH
WORLD PEACE"-CARNEGIE

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-Just before
taking his place with small COM
pany of friends around the Christmas
tree erected for his daughter, Mar
garet, at his home yesterday, Andrew
Carnegie gave out a special inter-
view.
Mr.. Carnegie said he believed a
satisfactory and lasting peace would
be secured by the present conference
in London and that in the decision
Turkey would have to accept a back
seat.
"If President-elect Wilson takes UP
the question of arbitration treaties
with Great Britain, France, Germany
and this country he will succeed" he
continued, "and give himself the
greatest place in history as the man
who banished war between civilized
nations for all time. We peace men
will stand by Wilson shoulder to
shoulder when he takes up the ques-
ton to establish the worlds peace"

Turkey Insists Upon

Reconcile Differences Be-

LONDON, Dec. 26.-The possession
of the Turkish fortress of Adrianople,
which has been the principal bone of
contention since the beginning of the
war between Turkey and the Balkan
allies, still remains at this moment
the real stumbling block in the way
of the attainment of peace. Com
pensation for Bulgaria, however. in
some other part of European Turkey
will probably in the end remove even
this difficulty and enable her to con-
sent to the retention by Turkey of
the great fortress which the allied
troops have been unable to subdue.A
Saloniki has been suggested as a
possible bait to induce the Bulgarians
to abandon their claims to the north
ern city. which the Turks refuse to
yield.
Perhaps with some such idea in
their minds, the Turkish delegates
have, it is reported. included in the
counter proposals they have offered
to the peace conference the stiPxla-
ton that Saloniki shall remain in their
hands. a line being drawn from that

Adrianople to Midia.
The maximum demands of the Bal
kan allies and the minimum offer of
the Turks will thus be before the
peace delegates when they assemble
again in st. James Palace on Satur
day and a definite basis for bargain
ing will have been formulated.
If the Turks are successful in
retaining Adrianople they will doubt
less consent to limit their demands
to western boundary running from
Adrianopie southwark along the rail-
road to Enos. on the Aegean Sea, thus
leaving the Dardanelles straits in
their hands.
Diplomatic circles here consider
there is certain to be a gradual ap
proximation of the excessive terms
put forward by the Balkan allies and
the Turks, and when mat Stage has
once been reached third parties may
have a chance to intervene in order
to reconcile the remaining differences
between the adversaries.

Jeffersonian Simplicity Planned
by Chairman Eustis, of
Committee.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-Jefferso-
nian simplicity is to mark the IN
auguration of President-e Wilson.
There will be the greatest outpour-
ing of people that has ever marked
the inauguration of any President,

will be no ostentation. He contends
that true Democracy demands that
there be no display.
He is upheld by Thomas Nelson
Page, who is quoted as sayings
President Jefferson's act of riding
up Pennsylvania avenue on horse
back has been derided, but the peo-
pie who have studied history have
realized that he did 1t in a dignified
manner, and that his inauguration
had at least as much dignity and
true simplicity as that of any Presi-
dent"
