mined.

London-A more hopeful feeling
prevails concerning the Balkan situa-
ton for diplomacy, which is seeking
for peace, has made some little prog
ress toward a solution of the crisis.
The arrival of the news that the pow
ers had reached complete agree
ment and that the Balkan States had
modified their demands was, however,
simultaneous with further reports OF
fighting on the frontiers.
The persistent reports that Turkey
and Italy had arranged peace are be-
lieved 10 have had some influence on
the Servian, Bulgarian, Montenegrin
and Greek allies, who, it is assumed,
will not be 20 anxious to tackle Tur-
key when she is free from the embar-
rassment of a war with great power
In this connection it is now announced
by the Bulgarian legation here that
Bulgaria's demand is for Macedonian
autonomy under the surveillance of
the powers, similar to that existing in
Crete The original demand was for
complete autonomy for all the Turk
ish provinces in Europe.
Turkey, on the other hand, has be-
come less docile. With her hands
virtually free from the Italian war
and her people united in patriotic
fervor to defend their fatherland, she
appears bent on settling the Balkan
question once for all by means of war.

The Accident Took Place Just Out

of the Cars Were APP

Philadelphia.-Nin young men lost
their lives Sunday, when an automo-
bile in which they were joy riding
crashed through the railing on the
side of the new Thirty-third Street
Boulevard at Master street and fell
into a coal yard, rs feet below. The
machine, big touring car, turned tur-
tie in the descent and the occupants
were found crushed and mangled in
the hood of the machine. The body
OF the car was smashed to splinters.
Edgar NJ Shaw. ~ years old, son
of James Shaw, a lumber merchant,
who owned the car. was taking a party
of his friends home after an evening
spent in various cafes and saloons.
Nine young men were in the machine
and six others were in a smaller au-
tomobile when the party came at ter
rife speed down Thirtythird street.
In turning 10 avoid the smaller ma
chine. which was in the lead Charles
!. Spayd who was driving an automo-
bile in the opposite direction. collided
with the rear wheel of the Shaw ma
chine
The heavily loaded car swerved and
crashed through the iron railing of
the bridge When those in the other
machines had made their way to the
coal yard only one occupant of the i'll
fated car showed any sign of life and
he died shortly after being removed
to hospital. The others were all pro-
nounced dead when the institution was
reached
Thomas A. Lawrence, a brother of
the Lawrence who met his death, was
in the smaller machine. He started
out with the party in the Shaw ma
chine, but as it was overcrowded asked
to be transferred to the other car.
He saws the automobile in which he
was riding was about so yards ahead
of the Shaw motor when he heard the
crash. and asked to be let out, as he
feared his brother had met with an
accident
Lawrence said he did not know any
of the party and had met them only
last night through his brother.

Both were strongly fortified with can

"Reincarnated Daughter of Pharaoh"
Says She Has Rejected Artist
Otis Faith.

st. Louis, Mo.-Mrs. Ralph Chesley
OFT, "reincarnated daughter of Pha-
raoh," who is suing her noted artist
husband for a divorce, now denies that
she ever had faith in the old Egyptian
gods. She adds that when her two
children came she utterly lost all faith
in her husbands fantastic belief, and
now, if she can recover her children
through the courts, she will be salts
fed with realities and forget the
dream-talk and theosophy of Mr..
OFT.
OFT is now in Springfield, Mo-, with
the two young children, and is expect
ed to file general denial to his wife's
divorce charges this week. Accord
il 6 to their stories, she was the Prin-
cess Amnera 5000 years ago, and he
was an artist in the employ of her
naughty father, Pharaoh. AS in their
modern romance, it was case Of love
at first sight when the princess ana
the artist met for the first time in the
queens chamber o" the Great Pyra-
mid.
Otis modern meeting Of his 5000
year-old ideal was at University City,
after he had returned from a commits
sion to study Egyptian architecture for
E. G. Lewis. She was then Miss Jane
Schauffert, an artists model.
In discussing her alleged erstwhile
tenets, Mrs. OFT denied the authorship
of the article in regard to her faith,
which were published over what was
claimed to be her signature and she
vilified the poor old gods of Egypt

Fire Fighters Face Great DAN
gers in Forest.
How Pulaski, by Goodness and Bravery,
Prevented the Loss of Thirty
Five of His Crew in
Cour d'AIene.

New York.-Prof. yelling, tanned
and toughened by his summers work
in the Occur d'Alene national forest
reservation, held his eastern visitors
spellbound with stories of the fight he
had helped to make against the fearful
forest fires, says the Youths Compan-
ion. He had gone out, with two others,
under government commission, to
study the forest and, coming back IN
August, they had met the fires and
spent almost a month in fighting their
way out of them.
There are real men among those
forest rangers" he went on. In fact,
there is no place for anything that IS
not genuine up there. The most thrill
ing story of heroism that have heard
in long time is the story of Ranger
Pulaski. 1t did not happen in the part
of the reservation where | was, but l
can vouch for it's truth, for have
talked with some of the men who
were with him.
Pulaski had forty men under him,
and they had been fighting big hre
for hours. Suddenly the wind rose I'M
til it blew gale. The fire got beyond
them, and it became question OF
saving the lives of the men. They
were many miles from a railroad or
clearing.
Pulaski remembered that about a
mile from where they were working
oh 10
back about forty feet into the hillside.
He ordered the men to snatch their
blankets from the camp and run for
this shaft. Once there, they packed
themselves like sardines into the hole.
Pulaski placed himself at the opening
and stretched blanket across it.
In a few minutes the fire overlook
them. The blanket at the opening
caught and Pulaski jerked it away.
Again and again this was done, and
when the supply of blankets ran low
he held the burning fragments across
the mouth of the shaft with his bare
hands.
"The suffering of the men from the
heat and smoke was pitiful. They
we're fairly maddened by it, and some
of them made wild attempt to push
their way out of the shaft. For
while Pulaski held them back by sheer
physical strength, for he was an I'M
usually strong man. But he knew that
he must soon be overpowered and that
the men, in their frenzy, would rush
out to certain death. He drew his re-
volver and told them that he would
kill the first man Who attempted to
break away. The men knew that he
meant it, too. and that knowledge
brought them back to reason.
ut wasn't more than twenty minutes
before the worst of the fire had passed
the shaft. When it was safe to crawl
out they found that five of the men
were dead from suffocation, but the
other thirty-five were all right Pulas-
XII himself was blinded and burned, but
his sight was partly restored. He lost
five men, to be sure, but with less
courage and presence of mind he
would have lost them all. ! take of
my hat to such a man. He is a real
hero"

Aviator C. F. Walsh Killed at

Trenton, n. with $4,000 persons
watching him at the Interstate FAIR
Grounds, Charles F. Walsh, while
making spiral descent in a Curtis

When physicians reached him Walsh

Walsh had been giving exhibitions at
the fair all week, and this year. for
the first time, was doing fancy stunts
in the air with his machine. He was
very high, probably 5000 feet, as he
began his descent. He was making
the spiral descent with the front of
the machine pointed almost downward,
when the upper plane seemed to be-
come loose. Walsh could plainly be
seen struggling to regain his balance,
but without avail. The machine then
made rapid descent and the large
number of spectators realized that
Walsh had lost control of the machine
and that death was imminent.
The accident had a depressing eff

grounds and within a few minutes
nearly half of those present began an

Walsh was % years of age and

remaining while he was flying in the
East.
