WIVES ARE RELEASED.
Quaternion Taken Back to Tombs-
Regain Defiant Attitudes And De-
clare Verdict Unfair.

New York. Nov. 20.--Justice Goft
today fixed Tuesday, November n, as
the date on which he will sentence the
four gun men, convicted yesterday OF
the murder of Gambler Herman Ro-
senthal, to death in the electric chair.
The four were brought into court
today and the motions to set aside
the verdict and grant new trial
formally made by their counsel, form
er MAGISTRATE Wahle, were immedi-
ately denied.
Wahle moved that the wives of Da-
60 Frank and Gyp the Blood be re-
leased from the house of. detention and
the motion was granted by the court.
The court then ordered that the pedi-
grees of the quartette be taken. He
caused a general smile of amusement
by warning the quartette that If they
failed to "answer promptly and
truthfully he could declare them IN
contempt and inhict either prison
sentence or fine.
The four confirmed their original
records, Whitley Lewis, saying he was
a bookbinder; Dago Frank that he was
q steal filler, Lefty Louie that he was
a salesman, and Gyp the Blood, declar-
ing he had no occupation.
This formality out of the way, the
four were taken back to their cells
in the Tombs. All had regained their
attitude and denounced the verdict as
unfair. They said they were salts
fed that they would get a new trial
when their case was taken to the
Court of Appeals.

PROSPECTS FOR
An EARLY PEACE
Preparations For Negotia-
tions Between the Belli-
gerents.
FIGHTING IS STOPPED.
Representative Appointed by Porte
Ottoman Government Agrees to
Balkan Demands.

Sofia, Nov. 2O.-General Savoff
Bulgarian commander in chief, wa;
today chosen as Bulgaria's represen
tative in the peace negotiations be-
tween the allies and Turkey. He j.
with the army at Chatalja.
Sofia, Nov. 2O.-Pending peace ne
gotiations, the Bulgarian troops al
Chatalja were ordered today to cease
fighting and merely hold their posi-
tion.
Constantinople, Nov. 20.-The Sui.
tan today appointed Nazim Pasha,
Turkeys representative to confer witt
the Balkan allies plenipotentiaries cor
cerning peace terms.
London, Nov 20.-That Turkey has
agreed to the Balkan allies terms
was asserted in dispatch from Sofia
today. 1t was believed, however, that
the announcement was premature.
1t has not been announced as yet
what the allies demanded, but men ir
a position to know said they undoubt-
edly permitted the Sultan to keep
Constantinople, strip along the Bos-
phorus, Sea of Marmora, and Darda-
nelles and nominal sovereignty oven
the Albanians.
In view of the effective resistance
the Turks have made to the Bulga-
rians advance past Chatalja, it was
believed the Sultan would try hard
for easier terms.
Berlin, Nov. 20.-The Balkan war
was considered here today definitely
over. Small skirmishes by detach-
ments of troops in remote corners Of
Turkey might occur, it was thought.
but no more real battles.
A deadlock between Turkeys and
the allies representatives was deemed
impossible. They are believed certain
to arrive at some sort of peace
agreement.
Messages from Constantinople said
the condition Of the Turkish army is
frightful.
Between losses in battle and the
ravages of disease the number Of
the Sultan's troops had been cut in
two since the war began. it was stat
ed. The cholera epidemic grows more
serious daily. All public and private
ichdc'sb in nconstantins'ple were
closed today on account of the dis
ease. 1t was not thought possible
here that the Sultan would refuse
to come to terms.
1t also just began to leak out today
that conditions among the Bulgarian
troops are scarcely less appalling than
among the Turks. Cholera, smallpox
and typhus are carrying off hundreds
of soldiers every day. The Bulgarian
attacks on the Chatalja line thus far
have been practically ineffective. Bull
! garia is at the end of its resources.

A PRACTICAL
YOUNG MAN
But He Was Rather Too
Much So
By HELEN D. WHEELER
By HELEN D. WHEELER

Arthur Stanford was practical
young man. There are different inter
pretations Of the word practical. A
person may be honorable. tender heart
ed and possess other praiseworthy
traits and yet be practical. But with
some persons being practical means
being selfish. Be this as it may. Stan.
ford knew enough to look out for his
own interests. and when those inter.
ests conficted with other persons In
terests he was not so impractical as to
sacrifice himself.
When he had scarcely come of age
his practical nature led him to argue
that. whereas family is an expensive
luxury, when he married he would Sc
lect some girl for a wife who had some
means. He had nothing himself ex-
cept his position with the house OF
Douglas & Sons, importers, but he was
industrious and had the same chance
for promotion as the other clerks. He
was considered model young man by
all who knew him and one who, II he
did not take high stand in the world,
would at least take a respectable one.
Bessie Ellison was his favorite
among the girls Of his acquaintance
She was an orphan and lived with an
aunt, Miss Perkins. Miss Perkins was
also of practical turn Of mind, and
since she was anxious to see her niece
married, with view to having chill
dren in whom the aunt might take an
interest, and noticing that Bessie and
Arthur seemed to be pleased with each
other, she was inclined to facilitate
their union.
One evening when Arthur called and
Bessie happened to be out Miss Per-
kins grew purposely confidential and
let out the fact that she would give
Bessie $4,000 at her marriage and
leave her $4,000 more In her will. Ar
thur profited by the Information. He
was very fond of Bessie and had be-
come dependent upon her as reposi-
tory Of those matters that most con-
cerned him. Indeed. he was far more
dependent upon her than he realized.

DO YOU SUPPOSE ARTHUR CONFESSED TC
SHIELD THE REAL THIEFT
He did not suspect that in her, under.
meath an unobtrusive demeanor. there
was great deal Of good sense and
plenty of what Is called character
While he failed to realize that 1t would
trouble him II he should see her about
to unite with another. he was perfect
iy aware Of the value Of $4,000 and
what could be done with 1t. besides
the $4,000 that would come later.
The young man continued his atten-
lions to Miss Ellison. who had the
opinion of him that he had Of himself
and had the opinion Of herself that be
had Of her. In other words, she rated
him up to his full value. but was un.
conscious Of her own merits.
Stanford made no declaration till be
had considered the matter thoroughly,
then made proposition Of marriage.
She was trife disappointed that be
did not show more zest. but she knew
him to be a practical sort of fellow,
besides. she could not expect one who
was her superior In every respect to
be very demonstrative. The French
people have an adage that one Of a
couple loves. while the other u loved
Bessie felt honored In being permitted
to love Arthur Stanford. and she glad
~ accepted him.
Miss Perkins was much pleased at
the engagement. which she considered
she had brought about. and was as
much pleased with herself for her
tactical management as with its result.
Meanwhile the young couple were ap-
parently growing more and more In
terested in each other and were max
ing arrangements for their wedding.
One day thunderbolt fell upon the
Perkins household Miss Perkins re-
ceived a note from Stanford confess.
ing that he had been guilty Of q Grim
inal act. He had entered the private
Office of Mr.. Douglas. the junior mem
Der Of the firm Of Douglas q Son. and.
eeeing pile Of bills on q desk. he had
been suddenly overwhelmed with an
uncomfortable desire to possess them
and had taken them. Later be had
confessed his crime and been retained
In bis position on probation. He felt
