The course of events in the Balkans
 quite distinct from the crises in Turkey and in the Turco- Montenegrln conflict is a subject of considerable interest to diplo-
 matic circles here, especially the reports
 that negotiations are on foot for the com
 pleton of an alliance between Servia and
 Bulgaria. Bulgaria and Servia intend to
 arrange what position they shall assume
 toward the other Balkan states in future
 and to agree upon common action. These negotiations are being carried on ft Is reported, under Russian patronage, and the trouble and confusion Tn Turkey have certainly advanced them. In Sofia and
 Belgrade the question is asked: What will happen If the present conditions lead to further consequences?
 Interesting information concerning the present prospects of peace has been re ceived by the Neues Wiener Tagblatt from special source in Rome. The cor Respondent states that wherever the con ferences the subject are held the greatest weight is laid upon the ma teria part of the question, as the TurK- ish government will make the matter ono of business Italy also shows willingness in this respect. She wishes, together with peace, for a restoration of good re- lations- with Turkey. The greatest diff ficuty to be overcome lies 1 nthe fact that Turkey as a military power, and l the leading power in the Musuiman world, places moral and military questions fin | the foreground.
 Above all some circumlocutory formula must be found which will place ques- tions of sovereignty for the moment in
 the background A fear also exists in 1 Sonstantinople that the conclusion of l peace might cause the natives in fripoli to rise against the Tukish troops.

FORMING LEAGUE ID PRESERVE COURTESY Madame d'Albert Meeting Great Encouragement COUNTESS IS. ROBBED Unique Confidence Game Is Worked on Wealthy Widow Who Was
 Proud of Her Reputation

COUNTESS IS. ROBBED
By PAUL yILLIERs

Paris. August 91.--( Special. )-The fame of France as the chosen home of gallantry and courtesy is not to be all lowed to die out Madame Andree d Al bert has founded the Lique pour Ia Courtoisie. or League Of Politeness, to war against incivility and make even the Parisian cabby a model of Chester fieldian suavity. Madame d'Albert has enlisted the sympathy of the Latin quarter society people and representa- tives of the plebian masses. Here are the five commandments of the league:
 1. Contribute your own share of po- liteness.
 ?. Become an apostle of peliteness by being courteous in word and man ner wherever you are.
 8 Nourish nothing but good feeling for your neighbor
 4 Do not do unto others, etc,
 5. Wear badge wherever you car to show that you are a member of the league.
 Madame d'Albert is already celebrated throughout the world as the delegate of the "Womens Peace League to the Hague. She is vice president of that league as well as the head of the new movement. She says politeness is a matter of habit and mothers are mainly responsible for it's decay in many coun- tries Nothing is more shocking, says Madame d'Albert. "than when a nice litle boy. rising in an omnibus to give place to an elderly person, Is told by his mother: Keep your seat. You have paid for 1t. The mother usually pays for such terrible lessons, cor rupting the courtesy which is natural to good children"

Resource and a sense of the dramatic fitness of things are still an insepar- able characteristic of the typical Paris Ian. A most amusing instance of the combination of ingenuity and tho spec tacular was afforded this week, when cries of Help! Helpi Murder Helpv' rang out in the early morning from a house in the Rue du Culson Saint Louis.
 Warned by neighbor. several police- men burst Into the flat from which came the shouts, to find themselves in the presence of one woman and five men. There was no sign of a struggle; only certain constraint was evident. One of the men came forward. and, in response to the inquiries of the officers, made the following curious statement: :: Here my worthy officers of the law, you will find neither murderer nor vic- tim, only betrayed husband. That unfortunate individual is myself, Jean Letard. tailor, and very much at your service For several months I have en- gagged in divorce proceedings against my wife, but the law is long. and life Is short To catch the offenders in flagrante delicto would, [ thought, &C., tolerate matters. So came with three friends to this house, and. fearing that If I summoned the oommissary of the police my birds would have flown be- fore he arrived. I cried murder in or der to attract your attention, and en- able you to bear witness to the pres once of my wife in this flat with her lover. whose hang-dog countenance Is, no doubt sufficient to Identify him. thank you, gentlemen. in advance for the valuable testimony you will render me. and beg you to excuse me for hav- ing put you to some inconvenience"
 The police. by no means modified by tiIs courteous appeal to their feelings as married men. promptly led off the whole company-wife, husband. lover. and the three witnesses--to the nearest police station, where they spent what remained of the night. In the morning the comniissary of police charged them with nocturnal rioting. and with insult ing the police in the cxerciso of their functions.

TAFT
WITH LOUIS XIV

In an address before the Progressive
congressional convention of the Ele-
veEth district held at Peru. Wednes-
day, William Dudley Foulke, Of this
city, compared present conditions
here with those preceding the out
break of the French Revolution.
Mr.. FouIke declared that he did not
want to be an alarmist, but he thought
that unless something was done TO
prevent the impending crisis, there
might be an occurrence in this coun-
try something similar to the French
revolution. He reviewed the history
of political parties of the past and de-
clared that many had not survived
because they were not founded on the
proper principles and issues. He de-
clared that conditions are such now
that socialism is rapidly growing and
from this fact he drew the conclusion
that people were dissatisfied with con-
ditions.
He declared that Taft was a good
man, but could be lead by the nose by
schemers, and compared him to Louis
XIV of France. I'VE want a man that
no one can lead around" He said
that Taft was not an issue in Indiana,
but the battle is between the Demo
Gratis and Progressives. He asked for
popular government and not misrule
of convention committees. He declared
against the bosses and the trusts.
National defense, states rights, the
courts, the third term question and
social and industrial justice were ia
ken up by the speaker and the attitude
of the Progressive party on these is
sues was compared with that of the
Democratic and Republican parties.
He paid a compliment to William r,
Hearst and took a slap at William ].
Bryan, builder of the Democratic plat
form, because the latter stated that
there was something wrong but did not
tell how it should be remedied and
how the power should be brought
back to the people.
Mr.. Foulke favored the initiative

WILL INVESTIGATE
WOMAN'S DEATH
(National News Association)

CHICAGO, Sept. 12-Mrs. Eta
Johnson, wife of John Arthur John
son, negro champion heavyweight
prizefighter of the world, died today
in the Provident hospital as a result
Of self-inflicted bullet wound. Mrs
Johnson, a white woman, former wife
of Clarence Duryea and a conspicu-
Gus figure in New York and Long Is
land society, has been suffering from
a nervous attack for some time Last
night after retiring to her room in the
apartment above her husbands new
Cafe de Champion, she dismissed her
two negro maids. Five minutes later
they heard a shot. Rushing into the
room they found the woman lying
across the bed, revolver by her side.
Police were summoned and the wo-
man removed to the hospital.
A few minutes later Johnson reach
ed his home. He was told of the at
fair and jumping into one of his rae
ing automobiles, rushed to the hos
pital. He arrived just as his wife
was laid on the operating slab where
vain effort was made to save her
life. She died shortly after o'clock
this morning.
For six years Mrs. Johnson was the
wife Of Clarence Duryea. She obtain.
ed divorce in Chicago in 1910 and
married Johnson. She is cousin OF
10 r;,-I
years ago eloped with Rev. Jere Cook
from Hampstead, N. Y.
Friends of the woman say that the
real cause of her nervous breakdown
was the realization that she had cut
| herself off forever from old friends
and associations. She was treated as
an outcast by Johnson's negro
friends who resented his having mar.
ried e. woman outside his own race.
Mrs. Johnson was to have left last
night for Las Vegas, N. M, in the
home that a change of climate would
benefit her health. She broke down
shortly before train time and was un-
able to depart. Johnson was at the
station explaining the situation to
friends with whom she was to make
the trip when the woman shot herself
Rev. John S. Morris, of ST. Monica
Roman Catholic church, administered
extreme JUNCTION to the dying woman
Johnson was at the bedside and wept
like a child while the priest was read
ing the service.
An inquest into Mrs. Johnson's death
was set for 2 o'clock this afternoon
Stories that the pugilist and his wife
had quarre1ed had reached the ears OF
the coroner and these were to be in
vestigated. The black champion was
grief stricken today and denied the
reports of any quarrel between his
wife and himself

new YEAR FOR JEWS
Local Members of Race Did
Not Celebrate.

The Jewish New Year, or Rosh
Hashanah, as it is called in Hebrew,
was observed today. Local Jews did
not celebrate the day with the festiv-
tiles that mark its observance in the
larger cities where there are many
Jews. Local Jews mailed New Years
cards to their friends and were the
recipients of similar missives.
While, owing to the variance be
tween the solar and lunar system OF
calculation, it may appear to occur
irregularly, the new year is definitely
set in the Jewish calendar as the first
day of the seventh lunar month
Tishri. 1t does not commemorate any
historical incident. Its appeal is en-
tirely to the present and to the indi
vidual conscience.
The biblical title of the day is the
Memorial day." from. which the Is
raelite infers that he is held in merci
full remembrance by God, and it Is
therefore incumbent upon him to be
mindful of his higher responsibilities
to the merciful Father and to his fel
bowman. The solemnity and sanctity
of the day, may also be attributed tt
the change of the season. 1t forms the
transition from summer to winter
which is suggestive of the perishable
ness of all natural products, and thus
making it appropriate for man to re
fleet on his frailty and the instability
Of his earthly existence.
The Israelite. therefore, is remind
ed Of his duty to examine his past rec
ord, rectify his errors and to firmly re
solve to live up to his highest ideal:
in the future. 1t is therefore a sol
emn, though not mournful occasion
1t is day of chastened memories, :
day Of rejecting on mans frailty O.
character, but beneath this sombrs
sense of weakness, both physical an(
moral. there lies in the worshipper's
heart the serene gertrude of Gods jus
tice and mercy.
