rBv Cable 10 The Tribune.) J

London. Dec. 4.-There is dramatic
change in the Balkan situation. Greece
ia at war with Turkey, while her allies
have agreed to an armistice. A mes
sage sent from Constantinople at IL
o'clock last night states that the MIN
ister of Foreign Affairs has Just an
nounced officially that Bulgaria, Ser
via and Montenegro accepted the armi-
stice protocol in the course OF yester-
DAYS negc - tions at Bagtche and THAI
Greece refused Turkeys terms.
Greece, 1t appears. objects to the SUBJ
stitution Of the right Of revictualling
places for unconditional surrender,
which was expected fortnight ago.
While apparently Montenegro would
consent to revictualling Scutari, Greece
cannot bring herself to consent to the
Of Janina and the aban-
donment Of the blockade Of the ports Of
Chios. Bulgaria and Greece appear.
to be at loggerheads on the
subject Of Salonica. kilograms re-
ceived in London show that the Otto
man terms for an armistice are OF
much more extensive a character than
ever. Reports telegraphed from abroad

BLIND GIRLS WORK PHONES
Sightless Operators Said To Be
Quick and Accurate.
lBy Telegraph to The Tribune.

Baltimore Dec. 3.-The blind tele'
phone girl has been tried and proved a
success In Baltimore. Miss Elsie Son
derman was the first. She operates
the exchange for the Sheppard-Pratt
Asylum. To-day the Maryland School
for the Blind turned out five other well
trained girls, and the managers believe
they can open this field of work to
many others.
These girls are working with the
regulation switchboards, but a new
kind Of board is being planned which
will simplify the training and increase
the efficiency Of the sightless operators.
The most difficult board now operat-
ed by blind girls is that at the Young
Women's Christian Association. Like
hotel the association club and home
has two hundred rooms and eight pay
stations. and the blind operators are
as accurate and quick as other girl
opcratOra.

with which the police have had to deal
in wears, occurred about o'clock.
Miss Luella Marshall. thirty years old,
of No. S1S Pennington avenue, had

ing a woman friend and was on her
wav home. She had arrived at 4

a fractured skull In the field, the negro
made off. Miss Agnes Eggert who
lives close by. saw him hurrying down
the road. She heard means coming
from the field, and found Miss Marshall
unconscious. Miss Eggert gave the
alarm. The injured woman was taken
to the hospital. Surgeons revived her
long enough for her to say her assailant
was a negro. Then she relapsed into
Inconsistencies.
Farmers who live in the section
where the assault took place were
aroused by the story, and. arming
themselves, began to search the woods.
Miss Marshall lives with her brother,
a contractor. At the hospital 1t was
said her body is mass OF bruises,
scratches and cuts, probably made by
the barbs in the fence through which
she was dragged.

District Attorney CropSey and
Police Cooperate to Stamp
Out Evil-Win 18th Con-
viCtion of Illegal Sellers.
ONE ARREST IN MANHATTAN
PRESIDENT Taft, in Message to
Congress, Urges Passage of
Bills Giving Government
Power to Punish Ven
ders of Deadly Drug.

While the police in Manhattan, as
disclosed by The Tribune. have done
little or nothing to curb the illegal
cocaine traffic, the members Of the de.
nartment in Brooklyn have been carry
inc on a campaign which makes 1t a
difficult matter for any one not per-
sonally known to the seller to buy the
drug.
NDistrict Attorney James c. Cropsey.
with Deputy Police Commissioners
Walsh, obtained a conviction yesterday
Of a woman cocaine seller. which made
the fifty eighth conviction within the
last three months in Kings County.
Commissioner Walsh and Mr.. Crop
sew are interested in the work of the
Up and In Club" of Brooklyn, which
has for its object the restoration Of
men who are temporarily down and
out" but are willing to fight their way
back If given a helping hand. They
have approached the cocaine evil in
BROOKLYN from the viewpoint of that
club, and have obtained such astonish-
ing results that any comparison OF the
drug evil in Manhattan and Brooklyn
cannot fail to impress an observer with
the fact that in the borough across the
bridge the police authorities have made
an honest and efficient effort 20 stamp
out the vicious trade.

man Of the violations committee of the
State Board of Pharmacy and director
Of the Columbia College Of Pharmacy.

the charges of police laxity with re-
spect 10 the cocaine evil as outlined In
The Tribune, summed up the situation
in New York by laying the blame for
the freedom of the cocaine traffickers
on the Gaynor policy Of personal lib
erty and outward respectability.
Banes Mayor Gaynor.
What can you do with a Mayor like
the one in the City Hall?" asked Pro-
fessor Diekman. "He says he is for
outward respectability. but this traffic
isn't even outwardly respectable any
more-it is bold enough now to come
out of its Railways and filthy dens and
carry on its trade in the most crowded
streets of the city 1t has begun 10
lay its trembling hands even on our
school children"
Commissioner Waldo and his in
spectors, whose districts in Manhattan
are most largely overrun with the
cocaine street sellers, continued yester-
day the policy Of silence which they
adopted when The Tribune first ex-
posed conditions.
AS if by way of contrast District At
torney Cropsey, who was himself
predecessor of Waldo, is pushing an
aggressive warfare on the cocaine
traders in Brooklyn with remarkable
results.
The conviction Of Mrs. Frances
Fisher before jury in Judge Faw-
cett's court marks the end Of the fifty
eighth case which Cropsey has success
fully prosecuted in Brooklyn, and the
results are apparent to any one draw
ing a comparison Of conditions be-
tween Brooklyn and Manhattan streets
in the Tenderloin sections.
Lieutenant Mcdonald, who heads the
cocaine squad in Brooklyn, sent De-
tective Nemerick out to get the evil
dence on the Fisher woman, whose

signed
The plenipotentiaries met at Baghtche
at IL O'Clock this morning. The allies
made fresh proposals regarding tho
armistice, which were transmitted 10
Constantinople. The Council of Min
listers sat until o'clock in the even
ing considering them.
The Porte tonight sent fresh in
structions to the Turkish delegates. II
is understood that the Greeks have de-
manded not only the capitulation cf
Janina, but the surrender of the Turk
ish troops in Chios and Mitylene.
A dispatch from a Turkish Official
says that fighting continued on Sunday
and Monday at Chios between the
Turks end the Greeks.
Another conference of the plenipo-
tentiaries was held in the evening, after
the receipt of fresh Instructions from
the Porte. At the close Of this confer
ence, the armistice protocol was signed.
The fact that Greece is not among
the signatories is interpreted as mean
ing that hostilities will be continued
between that state and Turkey, and
there is considerable speculation as to
what will become of the alliance agree
ment between the Balkan States
1t has not been determined when
and where the peace negotiations will
begin.
The authorizes at Janina report that
the Albanians there contemplate pro-
claiming independence. instruction is
requested as to the action to be taken
by the Turks should this intention be
carried out.
A telegram sent from Adrianople to-
day says there was an exchange Of
rife fire last night and slight bonn
bardment at midnight. At the hour OF
teegraphing the artillery fire was still
in progress on the south front, but
was of no great strength.
The telegram concludes: I'VE will.

Athens. Dec. 3.-With reference to
the armistice 1t is confirmed that
Greece from the first considered that
the allies ought to reject Turkeys
counter proposals and continue their
combined operations in Thrace. and
that If Turkey desired to conclude
peace it could be done without an
armistice.
Moreover, it is pointed out, that by
continuing the war the allies couio
secure better terms. Military circles
here are Of the opinion that since Tur-
KEY declined to accept the conditions
first proposed it would have been pet-
ter to have thrown into Thrace all the
forces at the disposition Of the allies
and continued the war.

The former school maintains that GRIM

other that they should ordinarily not be
made to suffer for, their misdeeds except
as nature forces II upon them through

Whipping Brings No Shame.

In discussing what he termed the
two schools of modern penology. Gov
ernor Baldwin said:
Modern penology, in both schools. has
accepted Imprisonment as the main
method of punishment. The old plan had
been to use capital punishment very
freely bodily n1utilation occasionally. hog-
ging often.
Capital punishment, which, in Black
stones day, England inflicted for leo
offences. is now universally restricted to
a very few, and has been totally abol-
ished in many jurisdictions. Visible,
bodily mutilation has also disappeared
cases' as for children. So far, it seems
to me, 1t should be preserved.
Asserting that for certain classes Of
Offenders prison hardly fits the case,
Governor Baldwin said:
A wife beater, for instance or the burg
lar who uses torture, to compel his vic
Tins to produce their valuables, ought to
suffer a certain punishment which he may
know beforehand. 1t seems to me that
the prospect of a whipping-of course a
moderate and private one-"ould often
