BALKAN WAR PEACE
PROSPECTS IMPROVE

London-The prospects of salts
factory and reasonably rapid settle
ment of the Balkan war and OF the
greater European interests hanging
upon it seem brighter than at any time
since the allied armies took the field
against Turkey. The ENJOYS from the
Balkan kingdoms and the Ottoman
empire, will hold the first meeting of
the peace conference next Friday, Dec.
18th.
At the same time the ambassadors
of the great powers in London charg-
ed with the task of protecting the in
terests of their countries will meet as
a sort of court of appeals to watch,
advise and admonish the peace dele
gates.
This will be by far the most import
ant assembly of diplomats since the
Berlin conference of the Russo-Turk-
ish war. Giants like Bismarck, Bea-
consfield, Salisbury and Gortchakoff,
to be sure, will not tread the stage,
but their successors who go will have
an equally important work to perform.

BLEASE'S VIEWS REPUDlATED
Power of States is On Side of Order,
Declare Governors

Richmond, Va.-The governors con-
ference unanimously repudiated the
recent utterance of Governor Blease,
of South Carolina, concerning the
lynching of negroes. By vote of IA
to 4 it adopted a resolution declaring
against mob violence and for the i'm
partial enforcement of the law.
The four governors who opposed the
resolution declared themselves as
strongly approving it's purport, but
voted mo" because they thought they
had no right to reprimand a colleague.
Governor Blease himself, the target
of the attack, holly defended his con-
viction, snapped his fingers in the
faces of his colleagues, told them to
"go to it," declared he cared not a
whit what the conference said, thought
or did, or did not do.

SAYS PROMOTER NOT DEAD
De Larm Believed to Have Escaped
When Another Died.

When Another Died.
Seattle.-That w. E. DeLarm, the
meteoric financier of Portland and Sc
attic, whose death in Placerville, Cal,
last June was reported and generally
accepted, did not really die, but clev-
erly escaped at that time, is the startl-
ing assertion made to Postoffice In
spector Temple and United States
Marshal Jacoby by F. ]. Parker, of
this city. He makes this statement
in the face of the fact that the body
of De Larm was identified by his wife
and that an insurance company paid
the policy on his life.
Mr.. Parker says his son, who lives
in Placerville, is ready to make deposit
ton that it was not DeLarm who died,
but another man, who was frequently
visited in the hospital by man said
to be DeLarm and that this visitor
left with the sick man before his death
the papers that served to clinch the
body's identity as that of the missing
financier.
1t is known to the government Of
ficials here, who kept thoroughly post
ed on the DeLarm case, although not
in charge of it, that shortly before the
news of DeLarm's death was receiv-
ed here a secret agent was preparing
to leave Seattle for Placerville in
search of the man.

"PORK BARREL" IDEA HIT

Good Roads Association Urges Funds
Be Distributed In "Paid-in" Ratio.
Tacoma.-With the election of John
P. Hartman, of Seattle. president,
adoption of a series of resolutions for
presentation to the coming state leg
islature, and the selection of North
Yakima as the next meeting place, the
18th annual convention of the state
Good Roads Association came to an
end here.
Among the resolutions was one in
dorsing a 100000 appropriation for
Washington's building and display at
the Panama-Pacific Exposition, and an
other recommending 3-mill levy for
permanent state highways.
The pork barrel" method Of distrib-
uting state funds for road purposes
was denounced, and it was urged that
the public highway fund be divided
as nearly as possible between the east
and west sides of the state according
to the amount paid in.
A complete system of roads to en-
circle Mount Rainier was Endorsed,
and the state legislature will be asked
to memorabilia congress for the con-
struction of more national highways
for the general development OF the
United States.
A resolution calling upon the legis-
lature to appropriate money to pay
convict labor on roads provoked a
spirited fight in the convention, Gov
ernor Hay objecting to extending the
motion to include young men between
Is and Is sent to the reformatory, be-
cause of the criminal brand that might
be stamped upon them after release
The motion carried with this amend
ment allowed.
