NEW SELLING RACE RULE
UP BEFORE JOCKEY CLUB

NEW YORK, Feb, 2S.-At the next
regular monthly meeting of the Jockey
club amendments to rule 127, of the
racing rules proposed by George p.
Eustis and seconded by Henry T. OK
nard, will be considered. The rule as
amended would permit horses to be
claimed out of selling races before the
races are run and by any person who
chooses to do so. This is in the rule
on the French turf. Any horse thus
claimed would be ineligible to start in
the race. It is thought that this may
not work well in this country. though
experienced turfmen declare that sell
ing races under existing rules are a
source of much dissatisfaction.

The right of Jack johnson. colored.
pugilist. to appeal to the Supreme Court
from the decision of the Federal court
in Chicago refusing him bail under the

today by the Supreme Court of the

The court dismissed the appeal without
passing upon the validity of the Mann

That the fighter was not entitled to
a hearing in the high court upon his

taken, and, as he had received relief,

Be Left to MosIems-Peace
Almost in Sight.

LONDON, Feb. 3.-Peace in the Bal.

agency dispatch from Sofia, which said
that Bulgaria was ready to agree to
the proposal by the great powers that
Turkey control the holy part of Adrian
ople, IL the Holy City were ceded 10
Bulgaria
Reuters agency reported. from al
authoritative source, II was declared,
that the powers had submitted to Gar
Ferdinand's cabinet a proposal that
Turkey be allowed to appoint a rep
resentative to rule over the Moslem
part of Adrianople, while the city
would be under actual Bulgarian con-
troll
In other words, the powers had the
consent of Turkey to offer to cede
try would allow the Ottomans to re-
tain the mosques. shrines, and tombs of
the Holy City and to appoint repre-
sentative governor, who, TO the Bull
garians, would be merely a Moslem
priest.
Sofia dispatches reported the Bull
garian cabinet in session at the request
of Czar Ferdinand, who arose from a
sick bed to attend the meeting, and II
was said that the cabinet was willing
to consider the proposal OF the powers
and to reopen negotiations on that
basis.
The ambassadors of the powers held
lengthy session this evening in an
eleventh hour effort to prevent the re-
sumption of war I'm the Balkins, and
1t was said that the proposal to Bull
garia was the result of their efforts.
When the meeting adjourned. at
O'Clock. ii was seen that the ambassa-
dofs of the triple alliance left together.
This gave rise to the opinion that the
triple entente and the triple alliance
were at variance in their ideas, but
nothing was learned to substantiate
this.
The most rigid censorship prevailed
today in Constantinople and all of the
Balkan capitals. The only direct dis
patches available were othe effect
that both Turkey and the allies were
engaged in moving troops. preparatory
to a renewal OF the siege and defense
of Adrianople and the resumption Of
fighting on the Chatalja lines.
There were reports of fresh mutinies
among the Turkish troops at Chatalja,
but these lacked verification.
