WANTS NEW BRIDGE
OVER MAIN STREET
Mueller Says Present Main
Street Bridge Should Be
Moved South.

John Mueller. county bridge engi-
neer retained in the matter Of the con-
struction of the proposed South end
bridge is in favor of moving the pres
ent Main street bridge ito the South
end and constructing the new bridge
over the river at Main street Mr.. Muel-
Ter will take this matter\u up with the
committee from the COMMERCIAL club
The cost of moving the bridge &C
cording to Mr.. Mueller's figures will be
s11,S00. "If this question was before
a railroad or any large corporation
they would decide as l suggested and
the new bridge would be placed where
the heaviest load has to be carried.
said Mueller. IF the Main street
bridge is not painted and repaired it
will be necessary to build a new
bridge within FIVE years If the bridge
is taken down it can be properly re-
paired and every part of il put in first
class condition. l believe that the
bridge would last from twenty-five to
thirty years If placed at L street
where the traffic is extremely light
compared with the traffic of Main
street.
The entire bridge can be remodeled
and cared for when taken down for re-
moval which would make almost a
new bridge out of it Each part could
be sand-blasted and every particle of
rust and dirt removed from il. Each
part could then be dipped in paint
If the bridge is painted with brushes
all parts of the bridge cannot be touch
ed and there would be some parts ex.
posed. BY the dipping process every
part of the bridge could be covered as
many times as dipped.
when the Main street bridge was
built it was not made to support the
heavy traction cars which now trav.
erse il. The street cars are compare.
lively light when compared with the
traction cars.<It is only question OF
years when a new bridge across the
Main street will be necessary If the
Commercial club committee Is in "a.
vor of this movement We may be able
TO have the bridge where il should be
properly placed The Main street
bridge would be satisfactory to meet
conditions at L street at present,

NO CLEWS IN THE
DAYTON MYSTERY

Chief of Police Gormon said today
that no clews had been discovered in
the Dayton mystery which has baffled
the police since the skeleton of Henry
Dayton was found in the cellar of the
home in North 1 street. The police be-
lieved last week that Joseph Snyder,
suspected of being the murderer,
The trail of the suspect led TO New
Castle, but no trace beyond that place
has been found.
Coroner Pierce has not filed his YER
dict in the murder. 1t is believed that
he will hold off his report until he has
made a careful examination of the
skull for the purpose of establishing
if possible, exactly how Dayton met
his end.

GREUL|CH GIVEN FINE
Despite Plea for Clemency
He Gets S. and

Charged with stealing a gun and
pawning it, Al Greulich appeared in
police court this morning and tried to
convince the court, in methods new
and strange, that he should not be
fined for the offense. although he ad-
mitted his guilt. He stated that he
had taken the article, which is a dou-
ble-barreled shot gun belonging TO his
nephew, and attempted to pawn it for
two dollars. AS he had been taking
care OF the gun for the past IL years
and been using il whenever he wanted
he could not understand the wrong Of
pawning it for a few days TO obtain
spending money. However. the Mayor
was unconyinced and fined him IS and
eosts for petit larceny.

NO PROGRESS MADE
IN PEACE PARLEY
Deadlock Between ENJOYS of
Allies and the Turks Was
Unbroken Today.
TURKS OFFER TERMS
But They Are Not Accepta-
BILE to the Balkans, Who
Are Standing Firm.
TURKS OFFER TERMS

LONDON, Dec. 2S.-The deadlock in
the Turko- Balkan peace conference re-
mains unbroken. After session of an
hour and As minutes in st. James Pal
ace today the ENJOYS adjourned until
Monday without any progress having
been made.
A dark outlook prevailed when the
delegates resumed their session after
four days recess.
Rechid Pacha, of the Ottoman dele
cation, who presided at the meeting,
sumbitted Turkeys maximum propos-
ais to offset the maximum demands of
the allies.
The margin of difference between
the two notes was so great as to cause
much doubt whether the deadlock
would be broken soon.
The allies are standing firm upon
their contention that Turkey shall not
be allowed to retain more than a foot
hold on Europe, whereas the Ottoman
plenipOtentiarieS ridicule this propo
sition, saying THAT Turkey should
not be deprived of territory she was
valiantly defending when the armis
tice put an end to hostilities. Repre-
Sentatives of the allies seem to feel
assured that the powers will support
them in their demands. But while the
view lends hope to the Balkan envoys
they do not minimize the stiffness o1
the struggle ahead.
One of the Balkan envoys is quoted
as saying that 1T may be three weeks
before compromise is reached" Sc
far as can be learned the Ottoman en-
vOys have not reached an agreement
/ upon any point at issue up to the houl
of the meeting at noon today.
Interest was divided here between
the peace conference and the present
attitude of Austrian government, &C
cording to Vienna advices the tension
between the two governments is agair
tightening and Austria has ceased de
mobiliZing. Austria is still maintain
! ing a big armed force on the Serviar
! frontier and has given assurances tt
! the other powers that she will con
tinue to keep an army there unit
guarantees are given by Servia tha
the Adriatic port of Durazzo will be re
linQuished.

SHINY OVER WALLS
And Two Ohio ConvictS Make
Escape.
(National News Association

COLUMBUS, O., Dec. 2S.-J. G..
Kramer, better known as Otis Hurley
together with Shine Davis, made their
escape from the Ohio state prison this
forenoon by means of a knotted rope
with a hook on one end. Kramer was
serving a two years term from Frank
lin county for larceny. According to
other prisoners Kramer got hold or a
rope and fashioned a hook for one
end of it. He knotted the rope to
make it easy to climb and escaped
over the wall a few feet from the tow
er occupied by guard. Kramer has
been on crutches since he was shot in
an attempt at escape last February
and had been allowed to get exercise
in the prison yard. Because he was
crippled the guards paid little atten-
ton to him. Kramer abandoned his
crutches just before making his es-
cape.

SORE ON THEIR COUNSEL.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec. 2S.-
Each Of the thirty-eight men convict
ed in the dynamite conspiracy trial
were found guilty of the entire 81
counts of the indictment. There were
25 direct charges of illegal transporta-
ton of dynamite and nitroglycerine
and one direct charge of conspiracy.
An appeal may be taken to the United
States circuit court of appeals. Wheth-
er the men are admitted to bail in the
meantime depends upon the action Of
Judge Anderson.
Words of condemnation were heard
from the prisoners but they were prin-
cipaily directed against their own
counsel. On their way to Jail one de-
fendant was heard to remark, "If our
attorneys had had only four hours
more to talk they would have convict
ed themselves"
Another said, "The only thing wrong
with this parade is that our attorneys
are not in line too"
Frank Ryan, the grey-haired presi-
dent of the Iron Workers Union, was
the only one to take the situation seri-
ously.

STAUNTON, Va, Dec. 2S.-Presi-
dent-elect Woodrow Wilson awoke to-
day in the same room in which he was
born Sc years ago. Although still pale
from the effects of his recent cold,
the President-elect said he was feel
ing better and did not think that the
entertainments provided for his birth
day would have any bad effect on his
health.
Practically all of today's program
was given over to renewal of the
boyhood ties of Mr. Wilson and his
visits included calls upon three aged
women who used to nurse the presi-
dent-elect in his boyhood.
Greets Aged Invalid.
The first visit was made to a sani-
tarium where Mrs. Elizabeth Kayser,
now a paralytic, is an inmate. Mrs.
Kayser was an intimate friend of the
Wilson family and used to assist the
President-elect's mother in 'minding
the baby"
The other two nurses of '1ittle
Tom," as Gov. Wilson was known
when he was little boy, are Mrs. H.
l.. Hoover and Mrs. Amanda Fultz.
The latter is the mother of David
Fultz, now a New York lawyer and a
former baseball and football star of
Brown university.
Mr.. Wilson also met for the first
time in many years Frank T. Ware, a
former servant in the Wilson family.
MANY times had care of Little
Tenn and wheeled him in his little
carriage" said Ware. HE always was
a good boy and never gave any trouble
to those who nursed him."

the celebration of the distinguished

members of the committee on arrange
