CIRCUIT COURT
 DENIES APPEAL
 OF VIM. REAGAN

Adyices received by the district at torneys office last week convey the information that the appeal of Will liam Reagan, the former Fairbanks tailor had been denied by the cir. cult court of appeals Reagan was tried alI convicted here during 1911 for rape committed in 1909.
 The case had been appealed to the higher court. the defendant con tending that he had been denied his constitutional right of having an open trial at which the general pub lie could be in attendance. This was taken because of Judge Over fields order that the courtroom be cleared and that no one be admitted
 The only other question of i'm portance raised in the appeal was the admittance of the family Bible. which was admitted by the court to show the age of the girl victim. The defendant argued that this was improper evidence, as there was aT official record kept by the govern ment which should be introduced
 Upon both questions the higher court upheld Judge Overtield.
 At present Reagan is serving out his sentence Of twelve years at McNeil's Island and will have to re main until the completion thereof.

THE TROUBLE
 IN TURKEY
READY FOR PEACE.

SOFIA, Feb. 2l.-Adyices received by the Bulgarian government today indicate that the Turks are ready to negotiate for peace on the basis ceding Adrianople and practically all of the other demands of the allies The advices do not come officially. but it is believed that they come from reliable source and that peace overtures will be made directly by the Young Turks within the next forty-eight hours.
 It is also reported here that the Turks are endeavoring to enlist the aid of Russia in their conflict with the allies, and the movements of the Russian Bear is being watched anxiously, not only by the allies. but by all of the nations of Europe. Any interference on the part of Russ a would be followed by very serious consequences.
 If the Turks succeed in convincing the Balkan nations of their willing ness to grant the demands ct the allies. it is probable another armis- tice will be declared immediately.
