CRISIS SEEMS At HAND
IF TURKISH REFORMS
COULD SATISFY.
All Powers Excepting Great Britain
Agreed on Plan Of Inter
vention.

London, Oct. 8.-According to Con
stantinople dispatch to the Daily Tele.
graph on the advice to the ambassador
of the Triple entente, the porte has
agreed to the application of article
% Of the Berlin treaty to the Villayets
in Rumelia and Macedonia.
The Belgrade correspondent of the
Telegraph reports Turkey has suspend.
ed all railroad service between Sa.
ionika, Uskup. Ristovatz and servia.
Paris.-War or peace between Tur.
key and the Balkan states is in the
balance. II anything it might be said
that the scales swing slightly against
peace in the sense that every hours
delay in the powers Intervention in.
creases the danger of hostilities.
The word now rests with Great
Britain. All the other powers have
accepted with some notifications the
French premier's plans for interven.
ton. but it is understood here that
Great Britain hesitates in going SO
far as to assume with the other pow.
ers responsibility for securing from
Turkey broad reforms in Macedonia.
Even with England's support, and
this is expected to come, the crisis
is not removed. The great question
remains as to whether the powers can
obtain extensive enough reforms from
Turkey to satisfy the militant Balkan
states.
Reports received here give the Bal.
kan governments irreducible mini.
mum as complete national autonomy
for Macedonia, with Christian govern:
ors of the provinces, the creation of
a local militia and the withdrawal of
Turkish troops. /,
Turkey is described as wishing I'd
be conciliatory and moderate, but con!
siderable doubt is expressed as to
whether she would even accept such
demands.

Indianapolis, Oct. 8.-Edward CLARK
Cincinnati business agent Of the irol
workers union, changed his plea from
not guilty to guilty when the dyna
mite conspiracy trial was resumed.
When court opened It was noticed
that Clark. took seat beside Marsha
Schmidt at the right of Judge Ander
son, instead of sitting with his fel
lows, and there was an air of expect
ancy among the defendants.
"a defendant who has pleaded no,
guilty wishes to change his plea te
guilty" said District Attorney Miller
Let him stand up" ordered Judge
Anderson.
With his. gray head hanging and his
hands convulsively clasping and un
clasping, Clark stood up, the target
for a battery of scowls and mutter
tngs from the other defendants.
How do you plead?" the court de-
manded.
Guilty" said Clark, in trembling
whisper.
Forty-seven Defendants Arc Left.
Sentence was deferred and Clark
Joined Mechanical in the marshal's
Office, leaving forty.seven defendants
in the courtroom.
Miller told .circumstantial story
of Clark's leadership in twelve dyna-
mite explosions in and around Cleve-
land. He also said that Clark, single
handed, blew up a bridge at Dayton.
Ohio. On that occasion an umbrella
with e. c." on its handle was found
after the explosion in the wreckage.
Miller said it was Edward Clark's UNI.
brella and that he had put it over the
dynamite charge to protect it from
rain.
The surrender Of Clark caused such
. flutter among the defendants that
little attention was paid to Millers
continued statement. The govern
ment freely predicted that others of
the iron workers would follow Clark's
example. Counsel for the defense,
however, were positive that there
would be no more pleas Of guilty.

he killed Zelig in revenge because
the latter had robbed him.

and other gunner who are awaiting
trial for the murder of Rosenthal rfdi-
culed Davidson's story when seen in
their cells and insisted that Zelig's
taking of was planned and the plot
executed to prevent his appearance
at Becker's trial. It was reported that
"Bald Jack" Rose, who will be state
witness against Becker, had warned
District Attorney Whitman that Zelig
never would live to testify against the
police.
Whitman Sees Conspiracy.
District Attorney Whitman though
admitting that no proof has yet been
found to indicate that Zelig's death
was the result of conspiracy, is in
clined to regard the murder as more
than coincidence" The prosecutor
insists that he had subjoenaed Zelig
in the Becker trial and said he had ex-
pected his testimony to have an i'm
portant bearing on the case. He add
ed, however, that he had other wit
nesses who knew the facts he had
planned to reveal through Zelig.
Investigation of Davidson's story
revealed the fact that the revolver he
used in killing Zelig had been the
property of Brooklyn policeman. It
was purchased in Jersey City pawn.
shop. The policeman, called upon to
explain, declared he had lost the re-
volver. The pawn broker corroborated
Davidson's story that he purchased the
revolver Saturday. The broker said
the weapon had been pledged more
than year ago.
Tells Two Stories.
Commissioner Dougherty broke
down Davidson's first statement that
Zelig had held him up in hallway and
robbed him of $500. Zelig, Davidson
asserts, held him up at the point of
a revolver in the cloak room of a
Bowery dance hall Friday night, and
took about ST from him.
Davidson was arranged and remand
ed without bail to the Tombs. He was
placed on the same tier with Becker
and some of the gunner charged with
Rosenthars murder. Both he and
Becker denied they know each other.
Davidson admitted acquaintance with
Lefty Louie" and Whitley" Lewis.
He also told Dougherty he came
from Toledo IL years ago and had
successive jobs as harness maker.
dance hall performer and jewelry and
peddler.

the committees only course of action
will lay in accepting the wishes of the
Wilson majority for the present.
