KKLED WOMAN WHO SAID
 SHE WAS OLD AND UGLY
Bride confesses Murder of Wedding
 Guest to Police.

Logansport, Ind, Dec 3.-Elizabeth Lang, bride of one day, today shot and killed Mrs. Mary Copple, who at the wedding supper last night, is a1- legged to have told other guests that the groom had selected an ugly and worthless woman for a life partner.
 Mrs. Lang was arrested shortly after the shooting and the police say she made a full confession and expressed pleasure that she had stopped slander- ous remarks. In her confession as reported by the police, Mrs. Lang said: "Yes, shot Mrs. Copple. I shot her down as her two little children stood beside her, holding to her skirts. I killed her because she said no man ought to marry me and that my hus- band would repent.
 She said I was ugly. She said I was old. I killed her for that and I am not bit sorry for it. She was jealous of me and would have made my life unhappy"
 The shooting followed conference of Mrs. Lang with woman friend, also wedding guest. who had repeat ed the reported remark of Mrs. Copple. Mrs. Lang went to the home of her father, told him the story and tele- phoned for the police.

TO ASCERTAIN PHYSICAL
 VALUATION OF RAILROADS,
Adamson Bill Temporarily Delayed by
 Mann's Amendment.

Washington, Dec. 3.-An amendment offered by republican Leader Mann proposing a rigid regulation of the in- suance of stocks and bonds, prevented passage by the house today of the Adamson bill, which would authorize special commission to ascertain the physical valuation, of railroads and other interstate carriers with the view of aiding the interstate commerce com mission in fixing equitable freight rates.
 Debate on the bill, which was favor ably reported by the interstate and foreign commerce commission at the last session, had been in progress for nearly five hours, and vote was about to be taken with practically no opposi- tion in prospect, when MT. Mann nov ed that the measure be scent back to the committee with instructions that it be reported with his proposed section added. After an extended debate on a point of order against the amendment made by \ Reresentative Sims, in charge of the bill, the matter went over until Thursday by unanimous con sent.

London, Dec. 3.-The protocol ar- ranging an armistice was signed late this evening by the Turkish and Bull garian delegates, the latter represent ing also Servia and Montenegro. Prior to this there had been long sitting of the Turkish council of min isters to consider fresh proposals sub- mitted by the allies
 Greece Does Not Sign.
 Apparently the Greek delegate did not sign the protocol. At present nothing is definitely known on this point nor of the terms of the afmis- tice as revised today.
 The refusal of Greece to sign the armistice is susceptible of different in- terpretations. In the first place. as a tacit armistice has been in existence for more than a week already, 1t IS not impossible that the negotiations may have served to bring about an agreement on the general principles or the peace terms such as would prom ise the speedy arrangement of peace treaty when the conference meets as is now expected in London. In this case the fact that Greece is standing out from the armiStice protocol would not be of great importance.
 Possible Split Among Allies.
 In the second place the Greek ab- stention may mean a serious split among the allies, arising from jeal- ousies concerning the possession of Saloniki and the insistence of Greeks upon the equalization of Adrianople, Scutari and Janina.
 Other points which may influence the situation are to be found in the fact that Turkey recently sought to con- clude a separate treaty of peace with Greece, that Bulgaria apparently is not unwilling to enter into an alliance with Turkey and that the allies are desir- ous that Turkey shall enter the Balkan customs league.
 Greece and Bulgaria Still at Odds.

Blaney of Zanesville, a Cincinnati and Muskingum Valley brakeman and Henry Bartles of Albion, Mich. This makes the death list total eight.
 Trains Ran Too Close.
 A Cincinnati and Muskingum Valley passenger train was following a Cleve- land, Akron and Columbus division passenger on the single track between Trinway and Zanesville. The engine of the latter broke down and train man was sent to flag the Cincinnati and Muskingum Valley train, but the latter was too close.

Harris and Bartles, who died within an hour of each other in a hospital, were chums. and both wore Sigma Chi fraternity pins.
 Injured Suffered Terribly.
 The scene of the wreck beggared de- scription. The engine of the Cincin- natl and MusAEgum Valley train, which ploughed through the coach, split it in two and a remarkable fact is that the engine held to the rails, while the sides of the coach dropped to each side of the track. The groans of the injured could be heard for "a consider able distance. All were conscious, but suffering terribly.
 Well Known WooIsn Man.

 Agreed Upon Last Night
TERMS OF THE ARMIsTICE NOT YET KNOWN
Indications of Dangerous Split Among the Aies-Rumor That Rumana May be Substituted For Greece in Balkan League-Relations Between Bulgaria and Greece Con- tinue Strained Using Persuasion the Greeks

gestion has been made to substitute Roumania for Greece in the Balkan league. It seems clear from the report that Bulgaria will ignore the Greek offer to land an army in Gallipoli pen insula and to send her fleet to attack the Dardanelles, that the relations be- tween Greece and Bulgaria are great ly strained and that these signs of dis sension among the allies leave the sit uation full of dangerous possibilities.
 France Working on Greece.
 It is reported that France l~ trying to persuade Greece to adopt a less unyielding attitude. It is understood that financial pressure and the exhaus- tion of their forces had much to do with the willingness of Bulgaria and Servia to conclude peace, and, in this respect, Greece which secured her vic- tories with less expense. is better able to continue hostilities.

Indianapolis, Dec 3-"Geed cooks are more necessary than governors, 9 said Gov. Thomas R. Marshall today in his address on "The Personal Touch" before the local council of women.
 T do not think there is anyone in the world, aside from my wife, that is more competent than my cook I think she is well educated. I don't suppose she would be received at many of the social functions, but she does her work as it should be done. There is not a working woman in this city that is do- ing an honest work that is not more important to this state than the gov ernor of Indiana.
