WILL INSIST
ON PEACE
Grey, for Powers, Makes an
Announcement in the
House of Commons
THE ALLIES WAIT
ON THE TURKS
Indications Are That Par
ley Will Soon Be
Resumed

London Jan. S.--If the Turks and the
Balkan allies do not show disposition
to open negotiations Immediately, the
great powers of Europe will intervene
This was stated yesterday in the House
OF Commons by Sir Edward Grey, sec
rotary of state for foreign affairs.
In reply to question the foreign
minister admitted that the powers,
through their London ambassadors,
were considering joint action to bring
about peace in the Balkans; but he de.
clned to go into particulars, saying that
the situation was too delicate.
That the peace plenipotentiaries had
hgreed to try again was evidenced by
the fact that the officials OF st. James
palace were ordered this afternoon to
prepare the picture gallery for session
of the conference on Friday afternoon
1t was not believed in diplomatic and
military circles to-day that the war
would be renewed but even in such
an eventuality the various states of the
Balkan alliance could hardly get in
action until two or three days follow
ing tHt lOl udt luptuiC Va thS ny Sbet"
tons.
The Turkish plenipotentiaries did not
retire at all last night. From the sus-
pension of the conference until far into
daylight to-day they We're busy send
ing and receiving code dispatches TO
and from Constantinople.
In the meantime, it was learned, the
Balkan delegates planned to informally
place the entire situation before the
great powers at the ambassadorial con-
,versations at the foreign office.
When Sir Edward Grey, the British
foreign minister, first suggested the
meeting of ambassadors, it was ex
pressly stated that the conversations
would be informal, non-committal and
unofficial. The meeting, therefore, is
without authority to arbitrate the
Balkan tangle, but the ambassadors
could recommend to their governments
that formal conference be called to
take up the Balkan struggle.
The situation, it was admitted every
where, is a most delicate one. The
allies will not accept the terms offered
Ny Turkey; yet. because they want the
good will of the powers, they do not
care to assume the responsibility for
renewing the war. And that is exact
by the way Rechid Pasha put it up to
them. The chief of the Ottoman dele |
gates made his last proposal and then |
Kept silent. He said nothing about ad- |
bournment or suspension nor did he men
tion an appeal to the great powers. 1t |
twas up to the allies to break off the |
negotiations or to sit indefinitely in st.
James PALACE.
j The Porte naturally wants to save all |
lit can out of the wreck, and the allies
insist on Adrianople and the AZ islands.
Neither side wants to be the first to
reopen hostilities, fearing the displeas-
ure of the powers and the refusal of
war loans
Hope was expressed to-day that be-
tween now and Friday the powers would
show the sultan that Adrianople had to
be given up and that before the next
meeting the Turkish delegates would be
authorized to accept practically all the
proposals of the Balkan allies.

DoDGING CAMPAIGN OF 1912.
Prominent Democrats Move to Prevent
Congressional Investigation.

Washington, Jan. s.--Some men high
in the Democratic party are opposing
the extension of the Clapp investigation
into the campaign expenditures of 1912.
This fact has been brought to light in
Washington during the last two days.
Whether President Wilson is aware
of the efforts which are being made on
his behalf to cut off further inquiry is
not known. Probably he is not acquaint-
ed with the situation and those here who
are following this new twist of affairs
incline to the opinion that McCoombs is
the one who wants the lid kept on. At
any rate it is positively known that
strong Wilson campaign manager is ac-
lively opposing Senator Clapp's desire
for continuation of the inquiry which
UP to date has brought forth so many
interesting facts.

Senators repeatedly demanded whether
Archibald did not think it unfair to other

Archibald insisted he thought there
was nothing improper in his conduct.
All testimony ended yesterday. and

er Information.

Washington, Jan. S.--The House
money trust committee last night. made
plans for dealing with two reluctant
witnesses, William Rockefeller and
George G. Henry of the banking firm
OF Solomon & company of New York.
The committee decided to procure a
competent throat specialist to examine
Rockefeller and verify the certificate of
his health filed yesterday by his physi-
clan, who said he had undergone six
operations, was unable to speak aloud,
and an attempt to force him to testify
would endanger his life.
In the Henry case the committee pre-
pared to charge him with contempt.
Henry refused on the stand yesterday to
reveal the names of the national banks

cate for the fotation of the California
Petroleum company by which the banks
and officers made profit Of 100000.

$500 is a clause inserted in the eccen-
trio RUDE Vicker's contract for the sea-
son OF 1913. Wicker claims that he was
accused OF being intoxicated at Roches-
ter last year, this leading to the for
teiture clause in his new contract. Only
Rube's good nature prevented him from
bringing suit against the person that
made the accusation.
George Davis, the former big league
ball player, has signed to coach base
ball at Amherst college for one year.
Negotiations have been carried on with
Davis for some time and only last week
did he signify his intention of embrac-
ing the offer at Amherst. Davis career
in the national sport is well known. He
started with the Albany club in 1889,
his associations with the game carrying
him through different clubs of the Ma

Three Hours OF Peril, but RE Still
Clutched His Knife.


On the afternoon of June /. 1872. an
old painter named William McCul
Tough while painting the bridge above
Niagara falls between the first and
second Sister islands fell into the rap
ids Instantly he was swept furiously
toward the cataract, but whirled into
lesser waves. so that he struck against
and seized a rock not far above the
brink.
Hundreds quickly gathered on the
shore and watched. all eager to help.
but ignorant what to do. Among them
was Thomas Conroy. who secured
coil Of rope. fastened one end to ii tree
on shore and with the other end in his
hand waded out as far as he could and
occasionally swan. the water being
from eighteen inches to six feet deep.
He aimed far up stream to allow for
the power of the current and at last
with great difficulty reached the unfor-
tunate painter and bound him TO him
self with the rope. They were swept
off their feet several times on the way
back to shore. but the rope had been
firmly fastened, and they finally landed
safely.
When they reached shore IL was
found that Mccullough still cIutched
his putty knife firmly in his hand. hav-
ing held it during the three hours he
had been on the brink Of the falls.
