London, Dec. 17.--Because Of the
continued protest of the Turkish en-
voys against the presence of the
Greek envoys the second session of
the Turkish Balkan peace conference
it st. James palace lasted but three
hours. Adjournment was taken un-
til Thursday morning.
AT the opening OF the session the
Turkish envoys entered vigorous
protest against the Greek delegates
because the Greeks had not signed
the armistice and was still carrying
on war against Turkey. An attempt
was made to reconcile the Turks, but
1t was unsuccessful. At the close OF
today's session the delegates unani-
mously agreed to ask Sir Edward
Gray, British foreign minister. to ap-
point an Englishman as secretary
Of the peace conference. The ENJOYS
can not only negotiate for peace and
recommend terms, but can conclude
and sign a final treaty, il they can
reach an agreement.
DR.. E. Dameff, the senior of the
Bulgarian delegates, presided at to-
days meeting.
When the conference adjourned at
2 o'clock this afternoon it was said
Turkey had not withdrawn from the
negotiations, but had agreed to put
the matter up to the court at Con-
staninople, by telegraph. The be-
lief was expressed that the Turkish
government would agree to allow the
Greeks to participate. 1t was limited
that the adjournment over Wednesday
was taken to give time to the repre-
sentative of the European powers to
talk the peace delegates in an effort
to bridge the disagreement between
tn Greeks and Turks.
M. Venizelos, premier Of Greece,
the chief figure of the Balkan en-
voys, made this statement:
"If Turkey will not surrender Adrian
ople the allies will resume the war on
the eve of the peace conference"
He said that the coalition is ms firm
as when the allies fred the first shot
at Turkish troops.
"The allies" he continued. "will de-
mand the surrende- of Adrianople and
Janina, as well as the rest of the ter
ritory conquered. Turkey, l under
stand, Is determined not to yield to
this demand, and unless one gives way
1t Is practically certain that the con-
ference will be failure, and the wal
will be resumed.
'The allies are quite prepared fof
such a result. Both Greece and Ser
via will send their armies to aid Bnl
garia at Tchatalja and in the ulti-
mate capture Of Constantinople. We
have raised fresh loans recently and
have plenty of money to conduct the

The quick work of the firemen
kept the flames from consuming the
carpenter shop of H. J. ]. Lund ad-
Joining at 37S New street. The roof
OF the shop was badly burned, and
muck glass knocked out of the WIN
dows. The building was owned by
Ira r. Robbins and insured for $500.
The factory building that was pra-
TALLY demolished was owned by ]. s.
Hanson, and insured for $4,000. The
stock of the tobacco company was
insured for $16, 500, a large part of
which was a total loss. Mr.. Lund's
lumber stock was damaged by water
probably 800, but he carried no. in
surance.
The foreman Anton Rose, of Good
win street, was sick yesterday and
was not at the factory at closing
time, and 1t is thought that when
the employees left at o'clock, prop
er precautions were not taken.
First Asst Chief w. P O'Hara ar
rived on the scene with the first two
companies, the Washingtons and
Lincolns, and finding the extent OF
the blaze and the danger liable by
explosion of the gasoline tank, he
gave the general alarm for all COM
panies who responded quickly and
were busy at the scene ina few min
utes.
All the contents of the buifafnS.l
was of dry nature, the tobacco,
boxes, etc, and the inside OF the
building was soon red hot oven,
ready to break forth al any time that
its strength would allow, but the
streams from the firemen's hose kept
the blaze within the four walls, and
it only leaped out through the roof
and holes in the building. which was
not serious enough to catch sur
rounding buildings, save Mr.. Lunds
carpenter shop.
The gasoline was used In running
the machinery Of the plant, and
probably fifty gallons were In the
tank by the building, besides the
smaller receptacle which was near the
building, holding about thirty gal
Ions. This was moved away.
Three horses belonging to the
Standard Oil Company were taken
from a, rear stable, which was also
owned by j. S. Hanson. The barn,
however, was not ignited.

New Ferry Co. Planning

Resolutions accepting the offer of
the Riparian Commissioners of
grants at the end of Washington,
Commerce and Fayette streets, and
to make application for similar
rights at the end Of High street,
were adopted at the meeting of the
Council last night. The city will
purchase the riparian rights for the
three streets named at $40 a lineaI
foot, price a little less, but sup
posed to be the same as the value Of
adjoining riparian land. 1t is ex-
pected that the cost of the High
street grant will be about the same.
According to provisions of the re-
solutions, copy of that accepting
the riparian commissioner offer will
be sent to them and the city attorney
will make application for the High
street rights.
No action was taken to purchase
riparian rights for the end of Buck
ingham avenue, which is much de-
sired by the Perth Amboy and Tot
tenville Ferry Company for use as
ferry landing. The grant could only
be made by the state subjecting to
existing rights. AS 1t is not definite
ly known as to what the existing
rights are, the aldermen have de-
ferred action pending the outcome of
an investigation of records. 1t is
believed that the Public Service
holds riparian rights for one half of
the end of Buckingham avenue, un-
der the name of the Holland Com
pany.
The new ferry company is proceed
ing with plans to have ferry slip
at Washington street, but at any,
time before It's completion, may re-

Trenton, Dec. 17:-Returning to
his executive duties today after a
months absence in Bermuda, Gov
ernor Wilson discussed New Jersey
political matters. He declared that
he had no intention of giving up his
residence in New Jersey when he
became President and therefore the
hopes of certain gentlemen that he
would cease to be interested in poll
tics in this state would be disappoint-
ed. Il can say this with confidence, -
he continued.
Asked as to the speakership fight,
the governor said he had not caught
up with the political situation here
since his return, but he intimated
that he was satisfied with the election
of Assemblyman Taylor, of Mon
mouth. At least he gave the strong
impression that there would be no
move for another caucus, as has been
rumored. Il have always found Mr..
Taylor ready to do the right thing"
he commented.
The governor said he was not pre-
pared to discuss the proposed con
stitutional convention and the claim
of former Justice Bennett Van Syckle,
of this city, that such convention
could not legally be called until the
present constitution Is amended SO
as to provide for it. He refused 10
express any opinion on this matter
at present, as he was very much in
terested in the contest over the state
treasurership between Comptroller
Edwards and State Chairman Gross
cup, but refused to declare which
candidate he favored. When asked
is he were interested in this fight
he said; "Have | ever been known
not to be interested in New jersey
politics? | am in politics up to my
neck" Later the governor issued {
formal statement declaring that he
will use every legitimate force he
has and every influence at his dis
posal 10 support and assist the new
forces which have regenerated the
