 The measure cannot be reached |again until Thursday, the day set for adjournment for the Christmas holi,-
 days It probably will be passed tlren, crowding out the Indian appro- priation bill, which had been expected to go through before adjournment
 The Burnett amendment to the Dillingham; bill, passed by the sen late, was adopted by the house, 292 70 62, at the close of the debate to- day/ As the amendment st uck out all thc original measure except the enacting clause, this practically was a vote on the biil as reported bv the committee. However, the final vote on bill as amended remains to be taken.

Chicago Women Refuse to Be Dis
 couraqed.

Chicago, Dec. 1.-The ten carloads of eggs which Chicago club women will place ca sale tomorrow in an attempt to break retail prices could have been bought cheaper in the open market than from the unnamed com mission man who supplied them, ac- lcording to statement today by Chas. Bowman, secretary of the Chi cago Butter and Egg Board.
 'The women paid 20 12 cents a dozen for eggs which they can buy in the open market in unlimited quantities for IS cents, = said MT. Bow man. At 24 cents, the retail price set by the club women, they might have profited six cents instead oi 3 1-2."
 Executive officials of the women's club and of other organizations met today and discussed the contract which Mrs Bloy, leader of the egg crusade, made with some egg specu- lator whose name she holds in con. i;ience. They admitted they may hatc agreed 70 pay more than the present market price, but they agreed 70 go ahead cheerfully.
 They will not sit quietly by, thcy said. while retailers nI ike 30 to 5t Ter cent profit even f .he whole city believes they are the dupes of some speculator

TURKEY OBJECTS TO GREECE FIGHTING AND NEGOTIATING
 PEACE AT SAME TIME.
NAVAL BATTLE INTERPRETERS
Both Turks and Greeks Claim Victory in Long Range Battle at Entrance of rdaneles.--EvldentIy
 Little Damage Done.

London Dec. 1.-The peace con- ference was launched yesterday only to be interrupted today by a comph- cation, resulting from the policy of Greece in waging war and negotiating peace simultaneously.
 The Turkish delegation announced today it was empowered to confer only with the three Balkan kingdoms which signed the aTmistice at Tcnat- aija and as a consequence adjourn men5 was taken until Thursday to enable ;he Turks to get instructions.
 All the eorferees expressed the ce- lief that the suspension was merely temporary and that pathva. to, ward the resumption of the meeting will be found.
 Prospects for 2 successn.l issue of the conference are Increased by the eec aIatons of the Turks that they have been given power to arrange and sign a treaty of peace. How far their improved military position, with the encouragement Austria is credited with giving them, may stiffen their back against the allies terms, re- mains the chief factor of doubt.
 Tle first sitting of the ambassado- rial court of appeals, as it is called was held ill the foreign office today. The ambassadors of five continental powers conferred with Sir Edwal-s Grey, the British secretary 70 foreign affairs for more than three hours.
 The contingency that mediation timately may offer the only solution of the war has been the subject of much discussion. The heads of the Bulgarian sni Se.viaa dr'esatiens in interviews recognized that the j'ni;ed States might bs 1T, position to act as peacemaker, as did President Roosevelt between Russia and Japan.

OFFICIALS REFUSE TO GIVE OUT CONTENTS OF LETTER SENT
 PREsIDENT-ELEcT.
WAS MAILED IN NEW YORK
Officials Claim They Have Strong Case Against One of the Men Who Recently Demanded
 $5,0oo on Pain of Death.

Newark. N. ! Dec. 17.-President- elect Wilson's life again has been threatened by a letter writer. The letter was mailed In New York, Dec. l2, received by the governors seere- tary at Trenton, the next day and turned over to the postal authorities. It is in possession of United States Assistant District Attorney Linda bury, who declined to discuss it.
 The receipt of the second threat ening letter became known today at the arraignment of Jacob and Warren Dunn and Seeley Davenport of Whar- ton, the three socalIed mountaineers who were charged with having sent Gov. Wilson on Nov. Il last, let. ter, demanding $5,O0O under threat of death.
 The hearing was not concluded. but United States Commissioner Stockton dismissed the case against Warren Dunn and took under advise l ment motion to make a similar rul- ing in the case of Davenport Against Jacob Dunn, alleged author of tho threatening letter, the govern ment made out a strong case, Com
 missioner Stockton said He held
 Dunn pending the conclusion of the
 hearing tomorrow afternoon. when
 Joseph P Tumulty, Gov Wilson | private secretary will be called to testify that he received the letter. Although Mir Tumulty was under silb. poena, he did not attend the hearing today. having arranged with the com missioner to be absent 1t yag thought at that time that his testi- mony would not be needed
 Gov Wilson, also under subpoena. did not attend the hearing and it was said he would not be required to do so tomorrow in as much as the let ter never reached him.
 The second letter threatening the governors life was unsigned and dozen or more secret service men and detectives are seeking to learn the author. It is understood the mis- siye did not reach the governor, but was intercepted, like the first one. by MT Tumulty. Many of the secret service men and detectives working on this case were present at the the hearing today.
 Whether the second letter was the outgrowth of the first or was connect ed with it in any way, Mir nindabury declined to say.
 Five witnesses testified al the hear ing. They included the postmaster at Wharton. the mail carriers who took the letter from rural free de- livery box the carrier who sold Ja- cob Dunn three envelopes: similar to the one containing the letter; Fran cis A. Butler, a postoffice inspector, and Louis c. Beekman, United States marshal, who made the arrest. Butler and Beesman both testified that Jacob Dunn admitted authorship of the letter at first but denied having written when told that what he said might be used against him.
 Jacob Dunns defense is that he made the alleged statement under duress and that he was not informed of his rights before doing so.
