COLD WAVE |S
 HERE BUT IS
 NOT SERIOUS
Drops But Fruit Growers Are on Their Guard and Take Precautions to Prevent Damage to Stock

The predicted cold wave put in an as scheduled Ly the United States Weather Bureau. Last night was the coldcst of the present that before daylight the temperature would have fallen in the city to ? degrees above zero or perhaps even lower. At o'clock the thermometer It gistered 37 degrees above zero, just five degrees above freezing point. By 10 o'clock it had dropped to freezing and there was then every indication that there would be a further drop.
 Early yesterday morning, before the sun had began to streak the eastern sky. thermometers in Phoenix had gone down to 2S degrees above zero. This was enough to place the orange growers and others having young fruit or vegetables growing, on their guard and such stock as might need protection was carefully taken care cf. out in the orange belt fires were used in many instances to warm the air about the trees, and yet it is be- lieVed that the greater part of these precautions were then unnecessary for the thermometer did not fall as low in the orange belt protected by the mountains, as it did in Phoenix.
 The fact that warning had been issued aroused the orangemen to un- usual activity last night and while ordinarily young fruit trees might have been affected, it is not believed that any damage was occasioned.
 Some idea of the extent of the cold wave which is sweeping over the country may be obtained from yes tCrday'S temperature records of some of the principal points of the coun- | try as shown herewith:

PEACE RUPTURE
 ID BE INVERTED
Turkey is Said to Be Pre- pared to Make Further Concessions to the Allies and Thus Help Negotia- tiOnS for Settlement
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPArcHl

LONDON. Jan. 5.@Danger of rup- ture tomorrow of the peace negOtia- tiOns seems to have been averted by the probability that Turkey will make fresh concessions with the Christmas celebration of the Orthodox church.
 From authOrative sources, it is said the powers through their Ambassa- dors here and at COnstantinOple have averted a strong pressure on Con- stantinOple in favor of moderation. while the Balkan representatives have been urged to be patient before break off the negotiations, especially as they can lose nothing by waiting. their position being stronger than that of Turkey.
 The efforts of the powers appear to have been successful on both sides. Thus unless some sudden change de- velopes at the last moment, Rechad Pasha will present on Monday new terms which will comprise another rectification of the Threacean frontier, bringing it further east perhaps to Dedeghatich. but not including Adrian Ople. and possibly the cession of
 Turkeys rights in Crete directly to the Allies.
 Dr. Daneff and other enVoys of the | Allies have decided to give Turkey 2 1 further period of grace, taking the ground that the submission of new terms should be proof of disposi- 1 tion on the part of Turkey to reacf a satisfactory solution.
