 Europe now consists of Thrace, Macedonia, Albania and the Sanjak of Noyibazar with the Island of Crete. Should the allies get all that they demand, Turkey-in Europe will shrink from 1000 square miles to little more than 1000 square miles. The European subjects of the Sultan will be reduced from about 100000 10 1,900,000.
 Albania has proclaimed autonomy, but even if this provisional independ, ent government be recognized by the allies, part of Albania at least will be taken over Should Servia persist in her claims to the Adriatic port of DurazZo, she would demand a wide strip of Northern Albania. Montene- gro wants a section of Albania along the Adriatic
 Bulgaria will ask for Thrace and will demand part of Macedonia Greece, in addition to the island of Crete, wants all of Macedonia, and the plenipOtentiaries are bound to have difficulty settling the nval claims.

ADMITS POL|CE GRAFT|NG
NEW YORK MAYOR BLAMES EN-
 FORCEMENT OF LAWS.
Declares Old Time Police Inspectors Were Guilty and May Be
 Landed in Net.

New York, Dec. 9.-The great Becker-Rosenthal gambling graft case was analysed by Mayor William J. Gaynor in an interview in which he pointed out lessons that might be drawn from it by the executives and people of other American cities. Sit ting at his desk in the City Hall, in the country's largest city, the white haired, graybearded executive frank ly admitted there had been plenty of graft here and that some still re- mains. He insisted, however, that 1t was being gradually stamped out and defended the rank and file of the New York police as the best in the world
 sGaynor insisted that he knew cer tain old-time police inspectors were grafters. He would not have been surprised, he said, if one or more had been caught in the recent upheaval, and hopes and rather expects some yet will be landed in the net.
 The mayor insisted that three things contributed to graft-the en- forcement of the liquor regulation, anti-gambling and anti-prostitution laws. But taking the enforcement of these out of the hands of the general run of police and making a squad un-

INAUGURAL PLAN UNCHANGED
Washington Is Relieved When Presi. dent-eieet Announces<Precedent
 Will Be Followed.

Washington, D. C.-Close friends of Gov. Wilson received word from Bermuda that the president-elect real. ized that he could not change the date of the presidential inauguration cere, monies and that they will be held on March as usual
 The law provides that the president be sworn in on March 4, but the ques. tion of ceremony merely is custom.
 Gov. Wilson announced a week ago that he would take the oath March 4, and, because of the indictment weather usually prevailing in March in Washington, would postpone the festivities until late in April. Wash. ington breathed a sigh of relief when it became known that traditions were not to be disturbed.

London, Dec. 9.-It was decided of. sciallv that the Balkan peace con. ference to begin Friday, Dec. IS, would be held in St. James Palace. The palace is the official residence of the King in London, and state func- lions are held there, though King George usually occupies Buckingham Palace

WOOD RIVER OFFICIAL IN STREET DUEL RAISES TO ELBOW TO
 FIRE FATAL BULLET.
MAYOR PREVENTS LYNCHING
Expert With Revolvers Sewers Fin. gers of Assailant, Trying to Dis able Hm-Both Men Dead
 Within Two Hours.

St Louis, Dec. 9.-After all the fin. gers but one had been clipped from his right hand by a bullet from the revolver of Marshal Samuel T. Thompson of Wood River, H., Sam Williams, a negro, pulled the trigger of a shotgun with his remaining fin ger and shot Thompson to death. The negro died two hours later in an am bulance on the way to the Alton Hos pital from the effects of wound in. Hicted by the marshal as the official lay dying in the street.
 Thompson and the negro engaged i'll a revolvershotgun duel on the main street of Wood River when the marshal attempted to arrest Williams for threatening the life of his em- ployer. The contents of the first bar rel of the negro's gun missed its mark, but when Thompson's first shot tore off his assailant's fingers he fired another charge, which struck the mar shal in the chest.
 That the negro was not lynched when citizens of the town learned Thompson was dead was due to quick thinking on the part of Mayor Beach, who mounted a box in front of a grocery store and counseled an angry crowd of men to refrain from violence. They had been searching for the negro, who ran from the scene of the shooting, and fell in a patch 0e de ly;l Ia; at once.
 The negro first attempted to kill Ralph Jones, foreman for the Bash & Gray Construction Company, follow his work on the sewer construction superintended by James, announcing he was going to get shotgun and kill the foreman.
 When James learned of the threat he quit work and notified Marshall the negre. Williams was just leav- ing his home when Thompson saw him with the gun in his hands, and ordered him to halt. By way of an- swer, the negro fired one barrel point blank at the marshall who, struck by a few scattering shots, returned the fire with his revolver.
 Thompson, who was about 55 years old had been marshal at Wood River for several years, and was accounted an efficient officer. His widow and six children. four of whom lived at home, survive. Little Is known of Williams except that he was consid- cred a trouble maker.

 You ask me how 1 regard the New York police force today, as whole, for efficiency and effectiveness? be- gan the mayor. ''The best in the world.

County Investigation.

Thomas E. French, who has been In
vestigating the affairs of the county, by
order of Justice Voorhees,, continued his
work here last week by taking up the
charges against the management of the
Insane Asylum, While Justice Voorhees,
had said he considered this matter
practically settled, yet it seemed necessary
for Mr.. French to look into some parts of
the charges. especially where there were
Items of improper use of the county's
property and extra expense entailed by
entertainment of too much company.
The hearings were held In the Office of
v. Claude Palmer, who represents A. w.
Lofand, the man behind the gun in this
affair. Budd NJ. Rigg looked after the
county's interest, and Superintendent
Deacon was represented by James Mercer
Davis.
The evidence was about the same that
was given to the special committee APP
pointed by the Board of Freeholders when
Lofand first presented charges which be
grew cold on when he found that he could
not have a free-for- all hearing, with a
great display of fireworks.
at the hearing on Tuesday and Thurs
day 1t was attempted to show that Super
intendent Deacon had entertained com
pany at the expense of the county, and
had shipped produce from the place with
outreceiying compensation therefor. The
first two charges were exploded long ago.
In the latter case 1t was shown that a
person had presented the institution with
some rhubarb roots and some watermelon
seed. and when the crop was grown the
superintendent had sent specimens of the
produce to the donor, paying the express
charges from his own nocket
Mr.. French expects to wind up his In
vestigation In a short time and will deliver
his report to the Judge who will probably
soon make 1t public.

Political Notes.

There may be considerable truth In the
remarks recently made to representative
Of THE News by Howard Russ, of De-
lance, when he made announcement that
he was candidate for Commissioner, five
Of whom are to be elected next fall to SUI
precede the present cumbersome Board of
Freeholders. 81 am not going to do any
electioneering In this direction" he said,
1T IL my purpose to let the people know
that am candidate, and If any person
wants me to serve In that capacity they
will have an opportunity to vote for me. !"
Mr.. Russ continued in this frank manner
II think the chances are poor for any
freeholder to be elected Commissioner,
on the ground that If existing conditions
warrant the Board being legislated out of
Office for failure to transact county bust
ness economically, no member of that
body would be wanted by the tax ridden
people to serve as Commissioner.

holders to announce his candidacy for the
Office of Commissioner. He will try his
luck ON the Democratic ticket. Hart says
he is only kitten" in the Board SO he
does not come under the head of mo

work; they range in age from to g.
years old, weight from HOO to 1400.
Attention is called to bay team, Tom
and Kate, 6 and z years old, and work
like one horse; and team that weighs
2300, color black and roam, that would
make as good farm horses as money
