Commerce With United States

As to commerce betHeen Alaska and the United States and with foreign countries, it was the largest last year ill the his- tory of the territory totalling almost ss3, ,O00O00 Of this amount s1S,S00.000 was of merchandise from the United States; a million dollars above the previous rec ord in 1910. Alaska shipped to the states S1S. 2O0,000 worth of canned salmon and s, 100, 600 worth of other fish: S5,o00oel orth of copper ore; sl7200.0O0 worth of gold and other products to a total value of more than sSS O0o, 900. Except for gold these are all record figures, the gold exports to the United States two years ago having exceeded sls.000,O00.
 Never before was there so great an increase in the salmon industry, a total of S7 canneries being in operation against GA the year before. There were t4so0 per- sons engaged in the work. 19 per cent more than in 1911. Altogether there were IS .OOO persons in the fishing industry, Of dians Chinese, Japanese. Filpinos, Mex jeans and others. More than 800 whales were killed in the season. Governor Clark fears no depletion of the fish provided the present protective laws are observed He recommends strict pro- visions to prevent aliens from fishing in Alaskan waters. the present statute be- ing notoriously evaded.' .

ALLIES TERMS ARE ABSURD, SAYS TURK Both Sides Refuse to Recede
 From Position RECHAD PASHA TALKS Belief Still Entertained That Chances of Peace Are Better Than of
 the Resumption of the
 Conflict
PASHA TALKS

l London December 26-Both the
 Turks and the Balkan allies are stand i ing by their guns on the peace terms Both declare it is impossible to recede i from their positions.
 l Nevertheless. those who think they i know what is going on behind the scenes still believe the probabilities ol
 the conclusion of peace are greater than of the resumption of the conflict. Tho exchange of cipher dispatches between l the administration al Constantinoplo and Rechad Pasha continues but the chief of the Turkish plenipotentiaries declines to divulge the nature of the reply he will present to the allies Sat urday when the conference reassemb les at St. James palace. It is understood this will be as already outlined with the additional promise that Turkey will l apply to the European territories re- maining to her the reforms which Count Won Berchthold. the Austro- Hungarian foreign minister, proposed before the war
 l While l cannot discuss the reply to the Ottoman government" said Rechad Pasha tonight, "nothing prevents me from saying that the terms the allies have proposed are absurd They have produced this impression wherever heard, even outside of Turkish circles. It was never known that after the l conclusion of an armistice one bellig- erent party could ask the others to cede territory bravely defended and still resisting with heToism.
 1 "Why should we do this, especially when the Bugarians had three reverses at our hands just before the armistice while the Greeks. who continued to fight, were defeated both on land around Ja- nina and at sea off the Dardanelles?
 Allies Surpass the Limit"
 i Turkey was induced to accept an arm l istice only on the advice of the powers, in Norder to avoid useless earnage on both sides. The same humanitarlan con. sideration led the ottoman government to ask for the revictualling of the be- sieged towns, and might induce the gov ernment to yield certain conditions for the sake of peace But there is limit
 which the allies have far surpassed" i The allies, on the other hand, assert l the armistice was arranged to give Tur- l key an opportunity of making peace terms without suffering further losses in the field and they characterize Turkey s talk of keeping Adrianople, Janina and Scutari and regaining Saoniki as sim 1 ply Imaginable. General Danglis, the Greek chief of the general staff. said 1 Let them come and take Saloniki if 1 they can. Even the dust of our ancient heroes would rise up to defend our rights. "The most optimistic of the Turkish military party profess confidence that the | Bulgarians will never be able to force the Ttehataja lines, but that. on the contrary. with her present powerful army l Turkey will free Adranople in a fort night and, adding that garrison to the main body, will take the offensive to- ward Philippopols and Saloniki.

Relationship Too Close

The complaints against the special agents, referred by the President to the Attorney General charged, it is said. that Mexican Consul Blorente at Fl Paso, Tex, practically directed operations of the American agents. and that there was too close relationship between the federal agents of Mexico and those of the United States,
 officials declare the protest grows out of the energy with which the special agents have enforced the neutrality reso- luton and that much of the critical test came from a special agent who was per mitted to resign. It is denied that any improper influence is eXerted by Mexican officials. American and Mexican agents, 1t Is said, cooperate in detecting violations of neutrality by the rebels as a natural result of the resolution by which arms go to the federals only.
 Specific charges of improper conduct by an agent of the department, it was said, has been dealt with by the Attorney Gen eral with the dismissal of the employe in- volved long before the committee began it's investigation.

After Judge Anderson's Charge Jury Retires. Court AdjOurns Until
 9:30 This Morning
ATTORNEY MILLER
 AGAIN REFERS TO
 SENATOR J. W. KERN
Judge in Charging Jury Directs Them to Return Verdict of Guilty if Conspiracy to Illegally Trans port Explosives Has
 Been Shown

Indianapolis, December 26.-Whatever is to be the outcome of the three months dynamite conspiracy" trial in which 40 labor union officials are accused of com phcity in the McNamara plots to destroy property. including the wrecl<ing of the Los Angeles Times building when 2l per sons were killed, now rests with the jury.
 Federal Judge Albert B. Anderson a few minutes after o'clock tonight in- structed the jury and ordered it to retire. The court then adjourned until 9:SO a. m. tomorrow, thus precluding the return of the yerdcts before that time should they be found. All the verdicts, while separate as to each defendant, are to be returned ar one time.
 How long will the jury be out?" was the question asked as the jurors filed out A basis for a belief that verdcts would not be reached when court opens tomor- row, and that the jurors may require a much longer time was found in the court s instruction to carefully weigh all the ev- idence in the case" It has required all most 12 weeks to introduce the evidence.
 The Defendants
 The defendants who await the outcome include Frank NJ. Ryan, president of the International Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers, of which John J. McNamara, the confessed dynamiter was once secretary; various executive board members of that union, Herbert s. Hockin, accused as an accomplice of Or tie E. McManigal, another confessed dyn- amiter; Olaf A. Tveitmoe. secretary of the 1..., ,,,.f1. geno A. Clancy, San Francisco and J. E. Munsey, Salt Lake City. The three last named are charged with promoting the Los Angeles explosion.
 These men are not charged under the federal laws with personally causing any explosion. They are charged with conspir- acy to violate federal laws and with aid ing in an illegal transportation of dyna- init, and nitroglyeerin oa passenge- trains.
 Ia closing his argument to the jury District Attorney Miller again referred to the argument of United States Senator Kern, counsel for the defendants. Senator Kern had left the city, saying he was going to Washington.
 "Tha Los Angeles Times building ex- plosion was called the crime of the cen tury," said MT. Miller, but the real crime of the century was this damnable con spiracy It would be an everlasting dis grace to our country and to our civiliza- ton if the 40 conspirators are not con victed. Gentlemen of the jury, United States senator, sworn to uphold the laws Of his country, has dared to stand before you in defense of these enemies of the republic. You should find these oonsplr- ators guilty and put your seal of condem- nation upon such conduct by d, United states senator"

could not hold it. Whitney led at "a and

straight sets by a score of 10, l5-l2, l5-lo
The two players were the survivors Of the
original field of forty-eight competitors
Both had been trained in the same school
of rapid wall shots and clever placing TO
the corners. In this respect Whitney had
more Of an advantage on Prentiss than the
actual marks afforded him. Right from the
opening service he worked al top speed
and was always on the ball.
