Chicago, Dec. 3.-An attempt to
free 80 Of the 80 dynamiters convict
ed at Indianapolis on bail pending an
appeal Of their case, was made here
today in the United States circuit
court Of appeals. Judges Baker and
Seaman sitting. Herbert S. Hockin
will not appeal.
Attorney zoline presented tire petit
tion in behalf of the convicted iron
workers and argued in support of it,
as did Attorney Krum. zoline de-
clared that in cases such as the pres
ent ones, the prisoners have the right
of bail, particularly as the defendants
we're sentenced and sent to Leayen-
worth before a hearing on writ Of
error had been held.
do you mean to tell me that a
writ of supersedas should issue as a
matter Of right?' inquired Judge
Baker.
That is my understanding, re
piled zoline, who then began quoting
supreme court decisions, which he
said bore on the point.
Judge Baker stated that the point
Of the writ Of error was not well talk
M, He added that there was no oc
@sion Tor the court Of appeals to su
peryene In any case unless Ii Il
shown that the procedure Of the low
er court was questionable at law.
Replying to tbs, Zoline declared
that the evidence on which con c
lions were secured at Indiaual olil
was "vag'Ie IN inaitt uate" and tina

not have allowed The cases Of man.

evidence adduced at indianapolis t.
show that the defendants conspired t,

ALBANTANS SPEAK MIND

THEIR DESIRES REGARDING
BOUNDARY LINES

lAjhdon, Jan. 3-The Balkan peace
ENJOYS have deciued, it was declared
this morning, to put the direct ques-
ton to the Turkish delegation tonight
whether the Ottoman government Is
prepared to cede the fortress Of Ad-
rianople forthwith.
Unless the Turks give a favorable
answer within "a hours, the confer
enee will be suspended. No other
question will be considered until this
point has been settled.
stojan NoVakoyitsh, the leader Of
the seryian delegation, said this
morning he was sure the allies would
ultimately carry their point
Turkey" he added. will probably
continue to resist giving up Adrian
ople, but facts will son be stronger
than theories, ana she will be com
PEELED to give way. Fugitives from
the besieged city, as well as infoma-
lion obtained from Turkish and Brit
1ish Sources fn Constantinople, indicate
that the condition of the beleaguered
fortress is an untenable one and that
its capitulation is merely question
OF days and perhaps hours. Once
Adrianople has fallen into the poss IS
sion of the allies and its garrison has
become prisoners of the besiegers, the
problem will solve itself"
Representatives Of the Albanian pro
visional government sent to the Brit
ish foreign office this morning map
on which the future frontiers of Al
bania. as desired by them, were mark
ed. If accepted this would deprive
Greece, Servia and Montenegro of half
of the territories they have conquered
since the beginning of hostilities. The
Austrian and Italian ambassadors to
Great Britain exchanged views today
concerning the future internal admin
istration of Albania.
It is said this administration is to
have budget subsidized by the Euro
pean powers and body Of military
police like'that in the Island Of Crete
formed of native soldiers with ofic-
ers drawn from the military forces Of
European powers. Probably Austria
Hungary and Italy will be entrusted
with the naval police of the Albanian
coast.
The opening Of todays peace con
ference at ST. James palace was post
poned until o'clock this evening to
enable the Turkish delegates fully to
digest fresh instructions received
from Constantinople and to put then
into proper shape for presentation.
The ninth session of the peace con
ference was opened in St. James pal

SOME MAMMOTH
EARS OF CORN

W. II. Murray of Parkdale was IN

from his Riverside ranch half dozen
ears OF corn OF the White Australian
variety that would be hard to dupii-
cate anywhere In Colorado In size and
In excellence of quality. One OF the
ears Is fifteen inches In length and
contains six hundred and tsenty-four
large. perfectly developed grains. The
other ears are but little smaller. As
the Riverside ranch. where the corn
was grown. is $3.50 feet above sea
level. the splendid crop of such grain
produced there this year controverts
the theory that obtains In some sec
tions of the country that the mountain
districts Of this state are not adapted
to that character OF agriculture. The
corn is hard. flin,y and well matur-
cd.
