added that his visage was such that

A great many men who have taken
the narrow view of legislating for sec

To the business men of the country
he held out also the appeal that SER

value for value received and remarked
that in past decades too much Of the

r ONDON, Dec. 2s.-Thc brief scs-
sion OF the peace conference to-
day brought the Balkan dele
gates to their feet in protest
against the counter proposals put for,
ward by Rechad Pasha in behalf Of the
Ottoman government. 1Arkey's maxi
mum demands are considered very
sweeping and when adjournment was
taken to Monday afternoon it was evi-
dent that tho Turks must lower their
demands greatly or consent to negotiate
on basis Of the terms proposed by the
allies.
If they attempt to stand by their
guns or resort to strategy, the allies
may break of the negotiations. It is
considered not improbable that Turkey
desires this, with the hope Of interven-
tion by the powers which would lead to
q European conference Of mediation.
The plenipotentiaries then could say
to the Mussulman world that they
yielded to the pressure Of all Europe.

San Antonio, Tex.-Dissipating a
jag in seven minutes is the record
that has been established by the pre-
cooling plant recently established at
San Benito, in the lower Rio Grande
valley.
While a car was being cooled pre-
paratory to loading it with fruits and
vegetables the men having charge of
the work found an intoxicated man
lying in the gutter Thinking to play
a joke on him they placed him in
the car. He had been lying in the
sun with the temperature playing
about him in the neighmborhood of
100 degrees and the sudden change
to a temperature only a few degrees
above the freezing point was some
thing Of a shock.
At the end OF seven minutes he
was beating on the car door clamor-
ing to get out.
