BOTH PARTIES FIRM.
Porte Will, 1t Is Said, Insist on Re-
tanning Adrianople--Powers Likely
TO Prevent Resumption of War.

There was a growing conviction to-
day among the diplomats that the only
solution of the Turkish Balkan peace
deadlock can be arbitration by the am
bassadors Of the great powers.
1t was learned today that there
was, among the the Turkish delegates
at least, disposition to lay the mat
ter before the ambassadorial conferces
at the foreign Office, when thsy are re-
sumed on Thursday, lin the event that
the Turks and the Balkan cnvoys do
not get closer together before that
dat;
Il fcs been believed from the outset
that tie informal consultations sug-
gested by Sir Edward Grey, foreign
minister, would lead to u formal am
basSadorial conference and this might
ba called for at once. to consider the
Balkan tangle
There was no indication, as far as
could be gathered around the hotel
where the peace delegates were stop
ping, c,ahat either the Ottoman or the
Balkan League envoys could be pre-
pared to recade in any degre when the
peace conference is resumed in St.
James, palace this afternoon.
Turkey, it was said, world insist on
keeping Adrianople and the allies, it
is said, will make no peace terms.
that do not include the cessation of
Adrianople.
IL was thought that ZcHa &c the Bal
kan plenipotentiaries might favor a
resumption Of hostilities if Turkey
persisted in her proposals at the after
noon nesting, but it was said that the
great powers would intervene to pre-
vent renewed fighting.
IL the event that ambassadorial
conference is CALLED to arbitrate the
Turkish Balkan differences, it is like
ly that there will be q disagreement
between the Triple Alliance and the
Triple Entente. In diplomatic circles
it i: known that Germany, Austria
Hungary and Italy favor making au-
tonomous Albania an extended state,
while England, France and Russia ia
vor restricted boundaries for the coun-
try.
Constantinople. Dec. 30.-Turkey
favors arbitration of the Balkan situa-
ton by the ambassadors Of the great
powers, it was learned today. 1t was
said that all of ths ministers want
peace except the Grand Vizier, kia-
mil Pasha. He desires to continue the
war.
The Porte, at the outset, said that
the question Of Crete could be d!sp0s-
ed of only by Turkey and the great
pow ers, and it is said that the Turkish
government is willing to submit all
question now before the London Peace
Conference, to the ambassadors, who
would act rs arbitrators rather than
meGiatorS.

Law for Auto
Identification
Irrom a stan corre.pondent.l

TRENTON, July 29.-An amend
ment has been drawn to the motor
vehicle law by Job H. Lippincott,
commissioner of motor vehicles. reg
ulating the display of light and IL
cense tags on the rear of ausomo-
biles. The law at present provides
only for the display of a red light
on the rear of an automobile and
does not compel the automobile
owner TO so place the light and IL
cense tag as to show the numbers at
night.
In speaking of the proposed amend
ment Mr. Lippincott said: This
seems to be a very vital defect in
our automobile law, for the reason
that unless the light on the real of a
machine shows the registration num-
Der, our registration numbers are
practically useless for identification
after dark"
The amendment as drawn follows
the general policy of the New York
automobile law.

May Direct Her Own
Defense.

ATLANTA, Ca, July 29.-Daisie Ul-
rich opie Grace was placed on trial
here today accused of having at
tempted to kill her husband last
March. Accompanied by her mother
and a nurse Mrs. Grace appeared in
the court room early and after the
charge against her had been read she
pleaded not guilty. Her voice carried
to all parts of the chambers and she
appeared cool under the gaze of spec
te tors.
After the Jurors had been chosen
the invalid husband was carried into
the court room. Mrs. Grace wns
worked up to such a pitch of excite
ment that a trained nurse admins
tered a hypodermic. Mrs. Grace
looked frequently at her husband but
finally hitched her chair about SO that
one of her attorneys obscured her
view.
After quiet was restored the prose-
cutor called the first witness for the
State, Policeman r. A. Wood, who
went to the Grace home on the morn

is expected that the selection of a
jury from the venire summoned will
be undertaken.
Before leaving Newman, Ca, Grace
reiterated his accusation of his wife

Owing to the belief in the minds
of many that sensational revefatinns
