key will continue the war. This deci-
sion was reached by the ministerial
council today after a long meeting al
which the future operations were thor

1--WE will continue the war until our
forces are annihilated," was the state
ment made after the meeting. A ma
iority of the council was in favor OF
continuing hostilties.
Turkey thus rejects the mandate OF
the powers that she must seek peace
directly from the Balkan allies. The
Turkish government is willing to rest
it's fate with Europe. but it is not will
ing to enter into humiliating negotia-
lions with the Balkan federation.

IN DEFENSE OF pARRow

La Follette's Weekly devotes near ly page to the indictment of Clar ence Darrow on the charge of parti- ctpation in the bribery of the McNa- mara jurors and talesmen The ar | ticle purports to be a statement of facts in the case, though there runs through it an assumption of the de- fendant's innocence, quite distinct from that presumption of innocence which law says shall always be en- tertained. Special stress is laid upon MT. Darrow's declaration that the grand jury which indicted him was trying to duplicate" him in the alleg- ed bribery.
 We may presume in the absence of information to the contrary that the. grand jury was as fair-minded as the average grand jury does not seek to duplicate those whom it indicts.
 It finds some circumstances which seem to indicate that the accused was implicated in a crime, but it does not assume that he was implicated
 That is something that another kind of jury must ascertain to it's satis- faction or find that the accused was not implicated. An indictment is not a presumption or guilt, as trial juries are generally informed by the court.

 A dispute having arisen between the forest service and the Indian bureau as to whether profits from timber sales on Indian lands, which Roose- velt's order made part of the nation al forests, should go to the Indians or to the forest service. The question was referred to Attorney General who decided in favor of the Indians in an opinion in which he suggested that Roosevelt's order had not been legal.
 Timber on the land is worth, it is estimated between 15 and 25 millions of dollars. The order includes four in New Mexico and the Navajo and White Mountain reserva- ions in Arizona.

SHOOTING AEFRAY OCCURS IN
 DEM|NG
B. U. Mcdaniel Shot by His Step son, Riley George, in Per
 sonal Alteration

| DEFINING, N. M.,, Feb. 9.-A serious
 shooting affray took place shortly af-
 ter midnight last night in the McDan-
 iel rooming house on Silver avenue. It
 appears that E. U. Mcdaniel came
 home last night and created a distur-
 bance in the new McDaniel rooming
 house next door to the telephone build
 ing on Silver avenue It seems that
 when he left this place he went direct
 ly to the other McDaniel rooming
 house near the Deming Livery stable
 on the south side of Silver avenue. At
 this stage he ran across his wife and
 stepson, Riley George. They entered
 the house, where a scuffle took place
 between George and Mcdaniel each knocking the other down several times. Finally, Mcdaniel started to hunt six-shooter that was on a shelf above the cot upon which George was sleeping and fight ensued and George in order to protect himself and moth CT fired at McDaniel at close range. The ball struck a rib on the right side and came out at the back A physici- an was called and when the clothing was removed the ball fell to the floor. He was removed immediately to the laies' hospital where a minute ex- animation was made of the wound He is resting easy today at noon and while the wound is serious it is not that any fatal results will ensue. George was taken to jail short | ly after the shooting and it is quite likely that he will be given hearing | this morning and be allowed bail.
