FAIR WAY OF SETTLEMENT.
Servian Port and Albanian Autonomy
May Be Settled AgreeabIy.

London, Dec. 19.-The Morning Post
says that as a result of the frank in
terchange of views between the Bal
kan delegates in London and the am
bassadors, notably of Russia and
France, the questions of a Servian
port and Albanian autonomy are in f.
fair way of settlement
"Servia," says the Post, who
throughout has shown spirit of I'M
selfishness and a desire to avoid en-
broiling Europe, is expected to get
strictly commercial port on the Adj
Ratio, but no strip of territory ON the
Adriatic seaboard.
A Constantinople dispatch to the
Post reports that the Turkish dele
gates at London have been instructed
to insist upon the re-victualling of the
beseiged cities as condition of re-
Stunning negotiations. The correspond
ent has been unable to confirm this.
The Belgrade correspondent of the
Daily Mail sends the following,
Il learn that the Austro- Seryian dis
pute has been solved. Servia will rec
ogniZe an autonomous Albania receiv-
ing the use of a commercial port on
the Albanian coast, connected with
Servia by neutral railway.
THE Servian minister of railways
is leaving Belgade for London for the
purpose of giving technical advice to
the Servian peace delegates"
Prevesa dispatch to the Times.
dated Dec. II, says that the Greek
Western army reinforced from Crown
Prince Constantine's army is pressing
home the attack ON Janina, the fall
of which is considered imminent
According to the Italian consul at
Janina, who is now at Prevesa, the
Turks have altogether $50 guns. Sc of
which are fort guns, distributed
among the four forts-Bizani, eight
miles to the south; Duruti, seven miles
to the southwest; Sadovitza, four
miles to the west. and Gardink, z
miles to the northwest.
The Turkish army is variously estimat-
ed at from 1900 to 5000 men. 1t is un-
der command of Ria Pasha. who got
through from Monastir. and, being the
senior, superseded the former command
er, Essad Bey. Bizani is considered the
key to Janina, and the Greek attack is
being pushed home at that point BY the
employment of four six-inch Krupp siege
guns the batteries on the outer positions
have been silenced.
According to the consul the population
of Janina numbers 22,000. of whom at
least 1900 are Greeks.
King Ferdinand is expected to arrive
at Saloniki in a day or two, says a dis
patch to the Times from that town. Four
battalions of Turks, on Tuesday, attacked
a Greek division at Beglisma, west of
Koritza, but We're driven off with heavy
losses.
Seven thousand refugees are now In
stalled in the camps erected outside Of

to arrive at an agreement which will
reconcile their interests with the just
demands of the Balkan states.
sAetuated by the sincere desire to
cooperate with all the means in its
power in the preservation of Euro
pean peace, the Russian government
expresses the hope that with the help
of the Almighty the efforts of the
Powers will be crowned with success
and that even this in the future will
not harmfully effect the vital interests
of Russia, which we are called upon
to defend with all our strength in
the name of the honor and the dig

The premier prefaced his speech by
notifying the Duma of the intention
of the Russian government to ask for
further credits to enable it to perfect
its system of national defences. He
concluded by eongratulating Great
Britain on her initiative in suggest
ing an ambassadorial discussion of the

Fl Paso, Feb. 10.-In hope of re- lieving the tense situation in Mexico, Alberto Madero, an uncle of the Mex ican president, has offered to sell his extensive lands to the government to be divided among the diScontented class responsible for the present trou- bles.

Men In Car Who Ran Down Robert
 Hard Still Free
Authorities at Work on the
 Case-No Negro" Con
 cerned in the Affair Hard's Condition Serious

The condition of Robert Hard, who was knocked down by an automobile containing two men and two women, near the Travis Inn in Stratford, about ] o'clock Friday morning, continues serious today. State Policeman Rowe Wheeler and the Bridgeport authori- ties are working to find the identity of the men who were in the car. The two young women, who live in John street in this city, claim that they don't know who the men were.
 George Travis, proprietor of Travis Inn, where MT Hard spent the even ing, today put the QuietuS on the story that MT. Hard had been slaShed by a branded as absurd on it's face, but something to that effect had been printed.
 MT. Hard, was in. my place that evening"" said MT. Travis to a Farmer reporter. Just before he left he ate a couple of sandwiches. He drank nothing at my inn He was asked to have a drink but took some cigars in stead. He said good night to me and started to walk home.
 Later heard his cry when he was struck, and ran out, and saw the automobile crowd dropping him to one side of g-the~s road.TZ 9Whats do you want?' asked one of them, when he saw my lantern. I tried to get the number of the machine but they saw what was after and cranked up and were off. Get our number if you can.' one of them yelled back to me
 'I went to MT. Hard's body and at first I didn't recognize him, so badly was his face cut up and mutilated, and covered with blood and dirt. There was no negro around, nor did I see any sign of one, but the story to that effect apparently arose from the fact that when I first g anced at Mir Hard I did not recognize him and Inistook him for a negro on account of the condition of his face.
 ''I ran back to my place and tele- phoued for Dr. Clapp, and then tele- phoned to the police in Brid geport and gave them a description of the people n the car. They had not been stop ping 'at-nny place and--I never saw them before, but I got a good look at one of the men and can easily rec Tlize him if I eve see him again"
 - Ida Carney and Stella McMahon, the women who were in the machine. were at police headquarters this afternoon and were examined by Secretary of State Rogers and the local detectives.

MANY BUSINESS

 tion With Town Clerk

Dozens of Bridgeport business houses are liable to a fine of $500 or a jail ter moi one year for failure to comply with a new state law design ed to protect trades people from trick sters.

This does not apply to corporations who are obliged to fife annual statements showing officers and their addresses.
 Town Clerk Thomas has received less. than of these reports. He be lieves that there are dozens of oth- CT concerns doing business under names other than the names of the corporated and who therefore come under the law.
 The law which follows is very clear in the matter.
