ENJOYS SEEK TO CHECK
RESUMPTION OF WARFARE
Balkan Peace Plenipotentiaries Ex-
tend More Time to the
Turks

LONDON, January 15.-TOday's meet
ing of the ambassadors of the powers
was devoted chiefly to discussion of the
means of putting brake on the threat
ened resumption of the war In the
Balkans. Breathing time was given for
efforts i'm this direction by the decision
of the Balkan plenipotentiaries today to
delay further action until the Turkish
government has opportunity for the dis
cussion of the ambassadors note, which
will be presented this week
1t is quite evident that both sides would
welcome any acceptable way to avoid
further fighting. The Turkish delegates
argue that but for the fact that the
European powers have shown bias In
favor of the claims put forward for the
allies they would have been able to COM
promise with their adversaries long ago
The delegates of the allies deny that
the powers have raised an objection to
their announced intention Of breaking Off
negotiations and denouncing the armis-
tice. They point out that Saturday last
they notified the British foreign minister
and all the European ambassadors of
their intention and none of them remon-
strated.
The representatives of Bulgaria.
Greece. Montenegro and Servia declare
that they must protect their own in
terests especially in avoiding indefinite
procrastination on the part of the
Turks, as since the conclusion of the
armistice in December. the maintenance
of the four allied armies on war foot
ing has represented an outlay of $780,,
000, 900.
This must come to an end, they say.
Within week Turkey must either cede
Adrianorle in peaceful manner or lose
Of no w i'm
the end would be less costly than this ex

the hands of the police and spent ten
days in Jail rather than have her fine

The striking walters. whose number is
much disputed. but who are continuing to
cause considerable embarrassment to the
hotel and restaurant trade, are being vir-
tually led by Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, an
organizer of the Industrial Workers of
the World, although Ettor and Giovan-

D|SSENS|ON IN SENATE
OVER LEGISLATIVE BILL
Jones, Warren and Lodge in
Clash When Measure
Comes Up.

The legislative appropriat ton BILL which
carries the appropriations for the Of
ficers and clerks in most of the govern
ment departments, struck rough seas as
soon as its consideration in the Senate
was begun this afternoon. In accordance
with previous notice. Chairman War
rem of the Senate committee on appro-
priations insisted upon it's consideration
today. =
He made the usual request that the first
formal reading of the bill be dispensed
with~and that the bill be read for amend
ments, committee amendments to be first
considered.
Il think the plan we had last session
a good one" suggested Senator Jones of
Washington. Let amendments. both
from the committee and from individual
senator's, be considered as the reading
goes along
Senator Warren was inSistent that all
committee amendments should be con-
sidered before those of individual SEN
ators are taken up. MIR. Jones'. how
ever, was insistent upon his sugges-
ton.
II withdraw my request" shouted Mr..
That made necessary the reading of
all the $50 pages of the bill. consuming
several hours, before a single amend
ment could be considered
Lodges Request Denied.
Il will ask that the formal reading
Of the bill be dispensed with" Senator
Lodge remarked. THE senator from
Washington does not object to that"
'tAre other senators to take charge of
these appropriation bills because they
are more competent?". asked Senator
Warren. evidently irritated. AS chair
man of the appropriations committee, Mr..
Warren is in charge of the bill. 1T
seems to be the opinion these bills will
not be read enough
His objection to Mr.. Lodges request
was binding, and the Senate settled
down. most of the senators disappear

of titles and figures.
The main fight over the bill is ex-
pected to center around the provision
for the continuance of the Commerce

trail Organization for Uni
form State Legislation.

NEW YORK, January 15.-More than
10000 children, mostly under the age of
nine years. were deprived of one or both
parents by divorce In this country during
the past year, according to figures with
which the Rev Francis NJ. Moody stirred
members of the New York state marriage
and divorce commission at its meeting
yesterday.
The Pacific coast" he said, has been
the greatest divorce center of the entire
world. In the year 1912 alone there were
100000 divorces In forty years 3 700. 600
adults were separated by divorce and
more than j,,sDo0O persons affected by
coo divorces: Pennsylvania. 30. 100: Cali
fornia, $4,000. aud New York, n, 40.
Many Migratory Cases.
New York state. however. has sent
Is. 169 of its couples into other states to
procure divorces. and there were prob
ably many migratory cases that are not
recorded in this total At present 80 per
cent Of the cases go by default, with only
one party represented"
Mr. Moody offered resolution to or
ganiZe a federal commission in this state
to work for a uniform federal law gov
erning marriage and divorce which should
be the central organization for all state
commissions of this character which have
already been formed in some states and
which would meet in convention in Chi
