 But the witnesses lied on me, !" he exclaimed vehemently. They all lied on me-"

ALLIES NOTE GIVES
 TURKEY ULT|NATUM
Document, Not Submitted, Breaks Off Negotiations, Bringing War February 11-Turk Regrets
 Allies ObStinacy.

London, Jan. 2S.-The special com mittee appointed by the Balkan ple- nipotentiaries drafted a note yes terday notifying the Turkish plen- potentiaries that they propose to break off the peace negotiations.
 The note was not submitted to the Balkan delegations, which held no meeting yesterday. Instead, the delegates gave a luncheon in cele- bration of Saint Day of Saba, the patron of the orthodox church.
 The committee entrusted with this important work consisted of Michael Madjaroff, Bulgarian min ister in London; Prof. Georgios Streit, Greek minister to Austria Hungary; M Vesnitch, Servian min- ister to France, and Count Voyno- witch, chief of the cabinet of King Nicholas of Montenegro, with M. Po- litis of the Greek delegation as an adviser on questions of internation- al law.
 Contents of Note.
 The note reminds the Turks that since January sittings of the peace conference have been suspended without Turkeys moving toward their resumption, while events in Constantinople are the best proof that Turkeys answer to the de- mands of the allies concerning Adrianople and the Aegean islands will be negative.
 On this account, unless the Turk ish delegation has fresh proposals to make, the note declares the allies have no alternative but definitely to break off negotiations.
 The SerVian eX-premier, NJ. No- vakovitch, will give a luncheon Tuesday in honor of the other dele- cations, after which a meeting will be held for the purpose of exam ming the note. Thus another day will be gained before facing the question of reOpening the war.
 Rechad Pasha, head of the Turk ish delegation, in an interview last night, said he deeply regretted the obstinacy of the allies, which, he declared, was not only against Tur- keys protest, but against their own true interests.
 War Soon Not Probable.
 The allied delegations will have to notify their respective govern ments and ask Sir Edward Grey 10 conyoke a final sitting of the con- ference for the official rupture of the Negotiations and also in order to thank the British government for it's hospitality, before the vote is considered This will take at least three days. The governments at Sofia, Belgrade and Cettinje must denounce the armistice.
 Working with exceptional celer- ity, this could be done the next day and hOstilities could then be re- sumed on February fl, following the expiration of the four days mo- lice required,
 In the meanwhile the fortress of Adrianople may fall, and this is ex- pected to become the automatic so- lutiOn of the problem.

by locking out the pressmen, which
resulted in both The Examiner and
American, and also William Randolph
Hearst, being placed on the unfair
list of the Chicago Federation of
Labor.
It was after hearing this story that
Mrs. Trout, the president, said she
would call a meeting of the executive
committee. At this meeting Presi-
dent Fitzpatrick, president Of the G.
F. Of L. and representative of the
Chicago Printing Pressmen's Union,
will state the case of union labor
The women will then hear what
Hearst has to offer on his side of the
controversy, and after that the wo-
men will decide whether to drop the
special edition of The Examiner, or
90 ahead with it and cut loose from
organized labor.
The officers of the Illinois Equal
Suffrage League are: Mrs. Grace
Wilbur Trout, president; Jane
Adams, first vice-president; Mrs.
Joseph T. Bowen, second vice-presi-
dent; Mrs. Virginia Brooks Wash
burn, recording secretary; Mrs. Jen-
ME F. H. Johnson, treasurer; Mrs. J.
w. MCDraw, auditor.
At the head Of the various depart
ments are the following women, and
their departments: Organization,
Mrs. Mary E. PIummer; Press, Miss

men on the other; and the wives Of
union men will naturally be lined up
with the women of the Woman's
Trade Union League.
The factional and party differences
between the men will probably af-
feet the women, too; and that would
mean that the wives of PrOgTessives,
Republicans, Socialists and anti
Hearst Democrats will be in sym
pathy with the women workers,
which would make the Equal Suf-
frage League a very exclusive affair.
The Hearst papers have about put
the Democratic party on the blink in
Chicago, and assertions have been
heavy since Hearst support beat
Bartzen and HOyne, and Hearst OPP
position carried Flynn, Connery and
O'COnnor to victory on a tidal wave.
So some folks think Hearst is in
the last ditch and is trying to recover
lost ground by getting control of the
woman vote so as to save Mayor
HaTTisOn's scalp next time. But this
doesn't suit the Progressives, Repub-
icans, Democrats, LOrimerites, Sulli-
vanites, Socialists, Merriam or any
political faction except the H.-H.
bunch.
The Hearst play to divide the ranks
of organized labor by joIlying the
Chicago Building Trades Council
while fighting Fitzpatrick, NockeIs
and the Chicago Federation of Labor
hasn't PANIED out worth a Whoop, so
the women were the only faction left
to appeal to; and now the women ap-
pear to be as badly divided as the
men, with Hearst as the great di-
WIDER.
Mrs. Trout has not announced
when the executive board of the Hi
nois Equal Suffrage League will
meet to hear labOr's protest, but it
will have to be soon, as the special
edition of The Examiner is scheduled

MAYOR CRITICISES ACTION
OF BUILDING COMMITTEE

The action taken by the building
committee of Orange Common Coun-
Gil in having work done at the Can
field engine house by charging the
sitting-rooms of the fremen, is not
approved by Mayor Murray. He said
today there must be some misunder-
standing between the committee and
the fire board, as under the new
financial system adopted recently all
repairs of the fire department should
be done under supervision of the
board.
IF the building committee of the
council" the mayor said, has au-
thorized repairs at the Garfield
street engine house. there must exist
some misunderstanding. The Com
mon Council and the members of the
Police and Fire commissions should
get together at once, so that there
can be no doubt or confusion over
such a matter In the future. I shall
recommend this course to the Com
mon Council"
