 Chairman William Alden Smith and Senator Fall of the committee laid much of the testimony they had gathered before the president and called his attention, it is understood to the fact that arms and ammuni- tion are permitted to go to the MeXi- can federalS and denied the rebels This situation, the officials point out is the result of a neutrality resolu- tion adopted by congress by which munitions of war are allowed to go only to the established government in Mexico
 Charge D'Affaires Schuyler of the American embassy, Mexico City. has notified the state department that the Mexican chamber of deputies has ap- proved a general increase of five per cent of the customs duties on inn portations into Mexico.

 ONE MORE WRECK
Italian Steamer Unable to Cope With Waves is Driven Ashore, Crew Making Thrilling Escape; Only One Lost
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCH1

PENZANCE, Eng-The Italian Steamer Tripolitani, from Genoa to Barry, Wales, was wrecked at Mountsbay on the extreme southwest coast of England this afternoon. Twenty of the crew of twenty eight made a thrilling escape. the other man was drowned.
 The vessel was buffetted by fierce gales from Christmas morning. The captain today found himself in a perilous position and being unable to get out of the bay. he determined t. runashore. The beach was lined with spectators pOwer.ess to lend him aid, who watched the vessel almost helpless in the grip of the wind and tide. Finally the steamers nose was pointed shOreWard and drove under full steam running on to the deep sandy bottom.
 A life rope was rigged up to which crowds ashore clung and one by one the crew left the vessel, over which the huge waves were breaking. one of the men was carried off by the heavy waves.

Talks Currency Reform.


 PRINCETON, Dec. 26-Propped ir bed, President elect Wilson sat two hours today talking currency reform to Representative Carter Glass, of Vir- ginia, chairman of the subcommittee on banking and currency reform and Dr. H. F. Willis, the New York finan- cial writer.
 The conference concerned generali- ties" Glass said afterwards The gov ernor has some positive ideas on cur rency reform and expressed them mere decisively and clearly than anyone else l ever met"
 Glass said he was not at liberty to disclose what was done at the con- ference.
 That's what we talked about" he said, as he exhibited with a smile 9 handful of five dollar pieces. He re- marked. however, that none of the bills supposed to be before the committee of congress were authentic and that the committee had not yet drafted any measure and added that public bear ings will begin in January.
 The governor had almost recovered tonight from his attack of the grippe. But in compliance with his physicians orders he remained in bed ard saw no one but Messrs. Glass and Willis.
 He will leave at 10:30 tomorrow for Staunton, his birth place, there to cele- brate with the tOwnfolks his fifty sixth birthday on Saturday The train will reach Washington at 3:15 P. M. and be there fifteen minutes while the two special cars carrying the governor and a party of Virginians living in New York will be switched from the Pennsylvania railroad to the Chesa- peake and Ohio.
 It will be the first time. however, that the president-elect will have stopped at the national capital since his election. A coincidence of the journey is that Richard H. Taylor, one of the secret service men detailed to the goverror since his election, also halls from Staunton, from which place as a boy ne ran away to sea and won a medal of honor from congress for safely navigating an American war vessel and saving it from destruction by hurricane off the Samoa islands in 1899. Mrs. Wilson will 50 with the president elect She said tonight that while his health had improved, she thought it a bit risky for him to make the trip to Staunton on account of the cold weather
 pr. J. Nj Caroachan, the family phy- sician, saw the governor for q few min utes early in the day. but did not think another visit necessary until early to- morrow. It is unlikely the governor will make any more automobile trips to and from Trenton in cold weather though his indisposition is believed tc be much the result of the quick change from the warm Bermuda climate to the frigid latitude as to exposure.
 His digestion has not been of the best, either, since his return, and coupled with the effect of long hours at the state house, it was feared al first that he was on the road to z severe breakdown.

 COMMISSION HEARS ?. .C.6E.
Physical Valuation of Real Estate Owned by Com pany to Be Determined at Public Hearing Mon day

The Arizona Corporation Commits sion yesterday issued three orders for hearings to be held next Mon day in which the Pacific Gas and Electric company is interested. Dur ing the summer months there was an investigation by the commission into the affairs of the Gas and Electric company, at which time the matter of the valuation of the real property of the company was a mat ter of considerable discussion be- fore the committee. An appraisal of the other physical properties could be arrived at with comparative ease, but there was a definite difference between the company's expert and the engineer of the commission as to the value of the land upon which the gas and electric plants are To- cated.
 The physical valuation is necessary to the commission because it has under the law the power to fix the rates to be charged by the com pany for the commodity it delivers tc the public, and must arrive at a rate that will return to the com pany a reasonable return on the in- vestment At the previous hearing the engineer of the commission in sisted that the real property should be valued as an asset to the com pany at what it cost in the first in- stance, and not at what it's increas- ed value is by reason of the growth of the city. This was the big point of difference.
 The commission consequently de- cided to lay that matter on the table temporarily and to have g special hearing upon the matter wher number of real estate men could be called to give their views as to the valuation of the property upor which the plant stands. That hear ing will be held on Monday next Two other hearings in connection with the company called for Mon day are upon the complaint of in dividuals. D. H. Burtis makes on( against the gas section of the com pany on account of an alleged in correct meter which the company i; I said to have refused reparation upon and the other is upon the complain l.of a man named Grouse who desire: electric connection which it is saiC
 has been refused.

Federal Judge Closes His Talk at Five O'Clock and Then Adjourns Court to This Morning Prechlding Night Verdict
SENATOR KERN
 SEVERELY SCORED
Attorney Miller Says He is Sworn to Uphold Laws But Defends Conspirators for the Crime of the Century
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCHl


 INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 26.-Whatever may be the outcome of the three months dynamite conspiracy" trial in which forty labor union officials are accused of complicity in the McNa- mara plots to destroy property, includ- ing the wrecking of the Los Angeles Times building, where 21 people were killed, now rests with the jury.
 Federal Judge Anderson. a few min utes after , o'clock tonight, instructed the jury and ordered it to retire. Court then adjourned until 9:3O o'clock tomorrow, thus precluding the return of verdicts before that time, should they be found. All the verdicts. while separate as to each defendant must be returned at one time. In the closing argument to the jury, District Attorney Miller again referred to the argument of United States Senator Kern, counsel for the defendants. Senator Kern had left the city, saying he was going to Washington.
 The Times building explosion was called the ''crime of the century,, Mil Ter said. but the real crime of the century was this damnable conspiracy It will be an everlasting disgrace to our country and civilization if these forty conspirators are not convicted
 Gentlemen of the jury, a United States senator, sworn to uphold the laws of this country, has dared to stand before you in defense of these enemies of the republic. You should find these conspirators guilty and put seal of disapproval upon such con duct by United States senator"

Turks and Balkans Each Refuse to Give More Although Wise Ones Say Peace Will Be Con- cluded
TURK EMBASSY
 TALKS RIGHT OUT
Calls Demands Absurd
 Provoking I'm m e diate Answer From the Greek Chief of General Staff; Turks Refuse Indemnity
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcH1

LONDON, Dec. 26.-Both the Turks and the Balkan allies are standing by their guns on the peace terms, both say it is impossible for them to recede from their positions.
 Nevertheless, those who think they know what is going on behind the scenes still believe the probabilities of a conclusion of peace much greater than the resumption of the conflict. The exchange of cipher dispatches be- tween the administration at Constan- tirople ani Rechad Pasha, continues, but the chief of the Turkish plenipo-
 tentiaries declines to divulge the nat ure of the reply. he will present to the allies on Saturday, when the confer ence reaSsembles. It is understood this is to be- as already outlined with the additional promise that Turkey will apply to the European territories re-
 maining to her, those reforms which
 Count Won Berchthold, the Austro- Hungary foreign minister, proposed
 before the war.
 While I cannot discuss the reply of
 the Ottoman government" said Reched
 Pasha tonight, nothing prevents me

 proposed are simply absurd. They
 have produced this impression wher-
 ever they have heard, even outside of Turkish circles. It has never been known that after the conclusion of an
 armistice for one beligerent party to ask the other to concede those terri tories they have bravely defended and where they are still resisting the ad- vance with heroism." The allies on the other hand, say the armistice was arranged to give Turkey the oppor- tunity of making peace terms without suffering any further losses in the field, and they characterized Turkey s talking of keeping Adrianople, Janina and Scutari and regaining Saloniki as Imaginable. General Danglis, the Greek ] chief of the general staff said Let them come and take Saloniki if they can. Even the dust of our ancient heroes will rise up to defend our rights The most optimistic of the Turkish military party profess the con- fidence that the Bulgarians will never be able to force the Tcatalja lines, but | that. on the contrary, with her present powerful army. Turkey will free Adri- anoplis in a fortnight and adding that garrison with the main body imme- diately take the offensive toward Phi lippoliS and Saloniki.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Dec 26.-- whether lives were lost in the fire which burned the Capitol Lodging house, a ten cent chop house" on the outskirts of the business district, to- night, may never be known.

About forty lodgers, many in a condition of stupor, were driven from the place when the fire broke out on the second floor of the two story frame building. While the walls are standing the interior burned to beds of embers so that no satisfactory seach for the bodies can be made tonight.
 Adjoining was a hree-story tene- ment house occupied in the main by Greeks which was also virtually de- stroyed The entire loss is about $25.000.
