London, Jan. 6.--An important ad
vance has been made by the Turks TO-
ward meeting the demands Of the
Balkan allies. according to the opin.
ion expressed by the representatives
OF Bulgaria in regard to the new Otto.
man proposals as to the future from
tier between Bulgaria and Turkey.
The Ottoman delegates were eX-
pected to present a definite project
during today's sitting of the peace
conference. suggesting that the west.
ern frontier of Turkey should fol-
low the hourse of the rivers Martha
and Tundje. the Turks retain the fort
ress of Adrianople but abandon Kirk
Kiliseh.
The allies declared that If this pro.
posal was put forward they would
consider it sufficient reason for with
drawal of their threats to break off
and would continue the
discussions in London in the hope Of
obtaining further concessions from
Turkey. At the same time they an
ticipate the early capitulation of the
beleaguered garrison Of Adrianople
and this is calculated to alter radical
ly the Ottoman point of view.
Roumania Wants Something.
The conversations between DR.. S.

peace delegation and NJ. Jonescu. the
Roumanian minister of interior, have
assumed rather serious character.

when the Turks are victorious they
are always prevented by the powers
from reaping the fruits Of their efforts.

U. S. Supreme Court Today
Decided That S. P. Stock
Cannot be Transferred to
u. p. Stockholders.

Washington, D. C., Jan. 6. -
The supreme court today held that
the plan advanced by Union Pacific
attorneys of disposing of the entire
stock holdings of the Union Pacific
Railroad Co. in the Southern Pacific
Co. by transfer to the stockholders of
ciently end the Union Pacific mer-
ger as to comply with it's dissolution
decree. s.#
Union Pacific attorneys claimed for
the Union Pacific stockholders the
exclusive privilege Of taking over the
$126,650,000 worth of Southern Pacific
stock which the supreme court found
the Union Pacific Railroad Co. owns
in violation Of the Sherman antitrust
law. Attorney General Wickersham op-
posed any plan that gave the Union
Pacific stock in question. He was will
ing to approve, however, plan for the
Union Pacific stockholders to share In
the distribution with the Southern
Pacific stockholders, other than the
Union Pacific Railroad Co.
Denies Right to Union Pacific.
Announcing the decision Of the
court today, Justice Day said:
"The proposal to distribute the stock
among the shareholders of the Union
Pacific Co. or to sell the stock to such
shareholders, if granted, will in effect
transfer the stock from the Oregon
Short Line Co., which now holds it
for the Union Pacific Co., to the stock
holders who own and control the lat
ter company. The court is of the
opinion that this distribution OF sale
cannot be ordered. The ultimate deter
mination Of the affairs of corpora
ton rests with it's stockholders and
arises from their power to choose the
governing board OF directors. After
such distribution as is now proposed,
the stockholders OF the Union Pacific
Co. may dominate and control not
only the Union Pacific Co.. but the
Southern Pacific Co. as we'll.
In rejecting the proposal for the
transfer of the Southern Pacific Co.'S
stock for the Union Pacific Co. (either
by distribution among or sale to the
stockholders Of the Union Pacific Coz !,
we do not mean to preclude the dis
trict court from considering and act
ing upon plans which may be submit
ted to 1t under the former opinion and
decree Of the court. We are of the
opinion, however. and now hold that
the proposed plan of disposition Of the
entire stock holdings Of the Union
Pacific company in the Union Pacific
Co. by transfer to the stockholders of
the Union Pacific Co. will not so ef-
fectually end the combination as to
comply with the decree heretofore
ordered to be entered by this court"

PLANNING THE
ORGANIZATION
Both Houses of Iowa Legis-
lature Ready for Coming
Session; Klay Looks Like
Best Bet for Speaker.
rORA WILLIAMS.l

Des Moines, Jan. GA problem
ahead of the legislators in the matter
Of the organization of the two houses
is going to be that of selection OF the
secretaries and clerks. There Will be
a new secretary of the senate and
new clerk of the house. But many OF
the members have come to realize that
political pull is not nearly 50 import
ant as it is to have capacity for read
ing and carrying on the business OF
each house, There should be, as a
matter OF fact, two persons at each
desk capable of reading bill through
intelligently and so that every mem
Der may not only know what IS IN II
but must know and understand. II
is entirely probable that IN the eau
cuses which will come this week the
matter Of selecting the right persons
with the right qualifications will be
fully considered rather than political
pull.
Want Enough stsnographers.
Another matter that will give the
senator's some concern, at least, Will
be that of selection of committee
clerks. Some years ago the house
adopted the system of having commit
tee clerks selected on the merit plan
and providing for competent stenog-
raphers for these places. AS matter
of fact the committee clerk business
is of slight importance. What is
wanted Is a sufficient number OF sten-
oeraphers to carry on the necessary

ia desire among some of the older
members of the senate that reform
shall also be adopted in that body and
the system of permitting every mem
ber to appoint stenographer rela-
tive be done away with.
kiay May be Speaker.
Nothing new has developed as to
the speakership. The leading candi-
dates are Gerrit Klay. e. H. Cunning
ham. John Jacobs and W. F. Stipe.
Others who have been considered and
who may be in the race are William
Larrabee, Jr., Herbert HUFF, and Will
liam J. Dixon. 1t is plain that Mr..
Klay has the inside track in the race
and from this distance 1t would look
as II he would be winner with votes
to spare. He is one Of the most ac-
tive and energetic Of the members and
will make an ideal presiding officer.
Meets Next Monday.
The legislature meets next Monday
morning and will proceed to organize
at once. II organization is effected in
both branches promptly and the count
of the state vote proceeds quickly the
new governor and lieutenant governor
will be inducted into Office on the 18th

order Delk away and in his failure to
do so to place him under arrest.
When the meeting OF the commission

The mayor attempted to get In COM
