MOVE To FORCE
BALKAN PEACE
Great Powers Will Not Tolerate
Renewal of H0stiIities
10000 SICK IN ADRIANOPLE
Aegean Islands Discussed-FormalM Me-
diation Impossible Until Both Turks
and Allies Give Consent-Have
Agreed on Action.

London.-At last the great powers
are moving to save Europe from re-
newal of the Balkan war. The Am
bassadors' conference, under Sir Ed
ward Grey's presidency, met to con-
slider the situation. The action will
not be formal mediation, because that
requires the consent of both parties,
which they have not given.
There is an incessant Interchange
of communications between the am
bassadors and their governments, and
also between the peace delegates and
the ambassadors. The principal ques-
tons under discussion are the future
of Adrianople and the Aegean Islands.
1t is believed that although the peace
conference has been wrangling over
these two bones of contention ever
since it met, if the Powers agree on a
settlement thereof, Turkey and the
allies will accept their ruling.
Anyway, the peace delegates will re-
remain in London for the present, al
though their mission is admittedly
abortive. They recognize now that
the future lies in the hands of the
great powers.
The powers have agreed to take i'm
mediate joint action with a view to
giving Turkey to understand that they
would view a resumption of hostilities
with the utmost displeasure.

CANADA FOR PARCEL POST.
Question of Adopting Package Mail
System May Go to Parliament.

Observation-Disclosures Pelle-
tier, after having sent several officials
Of the Department of the United
States to observe the workings of the
parcel post system, has prepared a
zone map for Canada, dividing the
country into five zones, and is about
ready to promulgate an order estab-
fishing a parcel post for Canada. The
country as divided into zones, con-
sists Of the maritime provinces-Que-
bee, Ontario, the Prairie provinces and
British Columbia.
Local zones are also established;
rates have not been finally decided,
but will probably be the same as in
the United States. The postmaster
general has power under the postal
service law to establish and put into
effect parcel post system without
legislation.
4 complete revision of EXPIRE rates
from United States points to Canadian
points is expected to be put into eff
feet Immediately as a result of the
necessarily lower rates on small par
cells resulting from the establishment
of the parcel post in the United States.

shington.-Enormous profits by
| the First National Bank of New York
| City were recounted by George F.
Baker, chairman of the board of di-
rectors of the bank, before the House
money trust" committee. Mr.. Baker
! furnished records showing that since
. it's organization in 1868, with CAPT
! talization of 100000, the bank had
! made profits amounting to more than
$SO,OG0,O0O
| In the four years since 1908, Mr..
! Baker told the committee, the bank
had paid dividends of 226 per cent,
or more than twice the total capital
ization, which is now $10,0OO,000.
When the capital was increased to
that amount in 1901, special dividend
of $9,500,000 was declared, Mr. Baker
said, to enable the stockholders to
i take up the additional investment
In order to provide 100000 in
! 1908 for the organization of the First
Securities Company to take over the
business (which the bank could not
do under the law" special dividend
of $1O,000,OO0 was declared, in addition
to the regular yearly dividends.
Samuel Untermyer, counsel for the
committee, from the figures supplied
by Mr.. Baker, calculated that since he
assumed the presidency of the First
National in 1873, the institution had
paid dividends of 1850 per cent. on
it's original capitalization.
Mr.. Baker fatty opposed the sugges-
ton by Mr.. Untermyer that national
banks be required to make public their
assets in order that depositors and
stockholders might know tie nature
of securities held by the banks. He
declared he saw no possible good that
could come. of such provision.
Mr.. Bakers testimony was long
series of surprises. He appeared to
be frank, but his viewpoint was that
of past generation. Like Mr.. Nor
gan, he appeared to be convinced of
something akin to a belief ina divine
right to rule.
He reached the climax of his series
of Qualifications for present conditions
when he quoted Jay Gould in support
Of combination as against competition.
ue COuIulCtG0 SHOWED surprise that
any financier in this generation should
justify his belief by the words of Jay
Gould.
Mr.. Baker appeared to have no SYM
pathy with the publics demand for
recognition in the management of in
situations in which they have invested.
He said that the public has no more
right to know his bank i,oidines-as
director of national bank-than it
has to know what his tailor bill is. =
He said there was no reason whv
national banks should not control
other banks. One bank might prop
erIy control all others if such a thino
were possible. He declared that Con-
gress had no business investigating
such subjects. >.
Mr.. Baker admitted that he, Mr..
Morgan and Mr.. Stillman have MANY
vast financial interests in common. It
was when Mr. Untermyer was asking
about Mr.. Morgan's purchase of the
Equitable Life Assurance Society from
Thomas Fortune Ryan that Mr.. Baker
made that admission.

ADJUDGED GUILTY BY U. S. SEN,
ATE OF HIGH CRIMES AND
MlsDEMEANoRS.
A VERY IMPRESSIVE SCENE
The Sentence is Imposed by Senator
Bacon.-The Jurist is Forever Barr
Honor or Trust.

Neutrality-suspicious. w. Archibald
of Scranton, Pa, for 20 years an oc-
cupant of judicial positions upon the
Pennsylvania State bench, the Federal
Commerce Court, was adjudged guilty
by the United States Senate of "high
crimes and misdemeanors," was strip
ped of his Office and forever disquali-
fled from holding positions Of public
honor or public trust.
The conviction and judgment came
as the conclusion Of the Impeachment
trail that has been pending in the
Senate since last Summer on charges
that Judge Archibald had been guilty
of misconduct and misbehavior as a
Judge and that he had corruptly used
his judicial power to further the pri-
vate interests of himself and his
friends, in the acquisition of coal land
properties in Pennsylvania.
Upon five of the'13 separate charges
brought against him by the House of
Representatives Judge Archibald was
found guilty. Upon the other eight
the Senate voted him not guilty the
majority in cases being against him,
but failing of the two-thirds neces-
sary for conviction. Any one of the
five yerdicts of guilty was enough to
bring about the impeachment imposed
upon him.
The end of the long-fought struggle
in the Senate came early in the after
noon when the vote was taken on the
first article of impeachment. With
gallery doors locked to prevent the
movement of spectators, and an I'M
accustomed hush prevailing through
out the chamber. 68 Senators rose in
their places as their names were call
ed and pronounced the word guilty
in almost inaudible tones.
Sentence was imposed by Senator
Bacon of Georgia, the presiding Off
Ger, after the Senate had, by a vote
of 80 to 35, upheld resolution Of
fered by Senator O'Gorman of New
York authorizing the full penalty,
provided by the Constitution.
