PEACE FARLEY is ON.
ENJOYS to Fix Terms for Cessation
of Hostiities.

London, Dec. 1.-THE peace confer
ence, which has before it the arduous
task of arranging terms of permanent
peace between the Balkan states and
Turkey, began at noon Monday in his
toric ST. James palace, the picture gal
lery having been set aside for the use
of the plenipotentiaries.
Prior to their assembling an au-
thoritative declaration Of what terms
the victorious kingdoms propose to
enforce and the Turkish views there
on was obtained from the delegates.
The determination of the Balkan
states not to allow an Ottoman policy
of representation Is significant.
"The Turks are much mistaken,
said one of the chief delegates, IF
they entertain such an idea. Peace
will practically be concluded between
Christmas and New Years in St.
James palace or we will impose 1t at
Constantinople at Easter, under the
range Of our cannon and at the point
of our bayonets.
Now we are satisfied with the
minimum demands; then we will ex.
act the maximum"

Roddenberry Makes Fiery Speech In
the House-Attacks Jack
Johnson.

Washington, Dec. 13.-Members of
the house on Wednesday listened to
one of the most fiery speeches deliv-
cred before that body within the past
half century. The recent marriage
of the negro pugilist, Jack Johnson.
to a white girl in Chicago, was the
subject.
After introducing a resolution to
amend the Constitution to forbid the
marriage of negroes and persons of
any other color, Representative s. A.
Roddenberry of Georgia denounced
such unions as "black slavery" char
acterized the action Of the state OF
Illinois in permitting the marriage in
question as "damning" and predict
ed that the practice would plunge the
United States into as bloody war as
it has ever passed through.
I'VE have heard a great deal in late
days about the white slave traffic and
it's enormity in New York and Chi
cago," said Mr.. Roddenberry. Ter
rife and revolving as it is, 1t is not
so revolving as that in Chicago. White

The negro question stands out in
the example of Johnsons marriage in
Chicago as presenting to you as grave
a negro question as ever confronted
your brethren in the south.
THE records of Chicago and other
cities show that from time to time ne

matrimony with women Of the white
race. Gentlemen, that does not hap

WRESTLERS IN A GUANDARY
Columbia Ties or Beats Yale by
Old and New Scores.

Because Of the changes which have been
made in the scoring rules OF the Intercol-
legiate Wrestling Association, the dual
wrestling meet between Yale and Columbia

ed IL a lot Of confusion, for, according to
the old way of reckoning, the teams were
tied at 3l2 points each, while under the
new system Columbia had the advantage.
with a score Of 10 to g. Yale is not a mem
Der of the intercollegiate association, and
accordingly let it be understood that the
scoring was to be done under the old single
point system. so that the official score will
probably be 3l5 to S1a.
What advantage there was belonged to
the Columbia wrestlers. for in the seven
bouts they earned three falls and were in
one drawn bout, while Yale won two falls
and took one bout on decision of the ref
cree. with the drawn bout extra. 4. W.
Carruthers, Of Columbia, the intercolle-
giate champion in the l25-pound class, was
unable 20 throw H. Colver, or Yale, IN the
customary nine minutes, and after wrest-
