heavy training expenses have made
good exhibition dates look doubly good
to them, but with minor league teams
or cellar contenders in the opposite big
league straining their heads off to
make rep" by beating the champs,
the real wonder is that more of such
accidents do not occur. Then, too. man
ayers have been too ready to take
chances to fill exhibition engagements

ture on such a day will do to pitch :
er's salary arm, unless, perhaps, the

is that exhibition games have begun
to assume too much of the proportions
of the win at any cost type. And it's
a big question whether such chances
ought to be taken when so much de-

The recommendation to be submit

CYANIDE is USED BY YOUNG
SALOON KEEPER OF MILLERS TO
END EXISTENCE YESTERDAY

0. ID. Smith, young saloon Keeper
at Millers, committed suicide yester-
day afternoon at the mill city, pre-.
sumably taking cyanide to end his
existence. His lifeless body was
found stretched out upon the bed
in his cabin by friends who had
been keeping close watch upon
him for several days, owing to his
peculiar actions.
A telephone call was sent to Or.
Mcdonnell of this city, who hurried
TO Millers in his machine When
he arrived life was extinct ana an
examination showed that Smith had
been dead for several hours DR..
Mcdonnell made a thorough search
of the cabin in an endeayor to dis.
cover the nature Of the poison taken
by Smith, but was unable to find
evidence OF any kind that would
sOlve the mystery,
Smith was the proprietor Of the
Homestead saloon, and for some days
had been acting in a peculiar man
ner. Yesterday, shortly after the
noon hour he left his saloon and
walked over to the Belmont mill
He remained in the plant but a short
time and then returned to the sa-
loon After a brief stay there he
again left and went to his home.
A half hour after friends, alarmed
at his absence, visited the cabin
and found the lifeless body Of Smith

LONDON, Jan. IA decision to
indefinitely break up the peace con
ference in London simultaneously
with the presentation to the Turkish
government of note from the
European powers was reached by
the chiefs of the peace delegations
of the Balkan allies today
The resolution of the representa-
tives of the Balkan allies will be
communicated to the ports in for
NAL note. At the same time it was
decided to instruct the commanders
of armed forces of the allies in the
field to terminate the armistice
which has been in operation since
December 3. The threatening note
of the allies to the Turks will be
worded in such a way as to become
effective only in the event Of the
Ottoman government refusing COM
pliance to the advice given it by the
ambassadors of the European pow
ers.
The latest advices received by the
Turkish delegation show that the
Ottoman grand council has not yet
met at Constantinople and probably
will not The Turkish ENJOYS un-
derstand that Kiamil Pasha, the
grand yizier, will probably resign
should the situation develop in such
way that the grand council would
be called together.
Observers of the situation here ex,

reject the advice of the European
powers and hostilities will he re-

Balkan allies declare they are ready
to face all events. They say 100000

placed in position at Adranople
