Good Home Found
For Deserted Baby
INFANT GIVEN TO MR. AND MRS.
TIE. GROVE WHO WILL LE-
GALLY ADOPT 1T.

That nothing so nearly sets in mo- |
ton the chords of human sympathy |
as the cry of helpless infancy, was |
well illustrated in the response made |
to the announcement of Mayor Batson
that he would this morning give away
the bright-eyed, black-haired baby boy,
who was deserted and left on the
porch of D. c. Mogan's residence on
West Fourth street Monday night, an
account of which attracted city-wide
interest when it appeared in The News
Tuesday afternoon. AS soon as the
paper was on the streets people began
to call up the Mayor to ask about the
baby and formal applications began
to come in, so that at ten o'clock this
morning Mr.. Batson had to select one
out of the ten applications. He decid-
ed to give the little fellow to Mr.. and
Mrs. T. f. Grove, whose home is 1920
Main street.
When interviewed by The News
Mrs. Grove was quite happy over the
fact that the child had been commit
tied to her keeping. Asked if she had
selected a name for the boy she said
"Yes, we will call him Guy Thomas
| Crow"
AS Mr.. and Mrs. Grove have no chill
dren of their own, the little innocent
will doubtless prove veritable cherub
to them and at the same time find in
the worth of their love and care, full
compensation for it's desertion by
heartless parents. They will take the
proper legal steps to adopt the child
One couple living some distance
from town, drove in early this morn
ing for the purpose of filing their ap
plication for the baby.
The police authorities say that they
are without any clue as to the identity
of the parties who left the baby a wal
upon the porch at Mr.. Mogan's resi-
, dence, but the conviction is fixed tina
: it was brought here from some othe
: town.

Greece And Roumania Form Alliance

Greece And Roumania Form Alliance.
Athens, July 16.-R. Theotokis, for
merly premier, declares that a military
agreement to bring Bulgaria to her
knees practically has been reached
and that on most of the questions
Greece and Roumania have settled the
terms
The most difficult is that of Koutzo
Vallachs and the inhabiting of the
Pindus district This is to be settled
by the powers at a conference in Lon
don.
Greece is willing to recognize the
rights of the Roumanians in Mace
donia. Roumania makes the condition
that she shall participate in the sigma
ture of peace and is determined to an
mex Silistria, Rustchuk and Varna.
If Bulgaria does not sign peace now
the king of the Hellenes will march
on Sofia, and Greece will join Rou
mania in driving the Bulgarians from
the coast of the Aegean Sea.
1t is reported that Roumania is
about to send an army of 10000 into
Bulgaria. The Bulgarian northern
army, the reports adds, is retreating tC

territory occupied by the allies; tina
she shall pay an indemnity for tn
expenses of the new war and dan
age done to the inhabitants of tn

PRESIDENT AFFIxES SIGNATURE
AFTER BOTH HOUSES TAKE
QUICK ACTION.
Big STRIKE PROBABLY AVERTED
Railroads And Trainmen Will Submit
Differences to Mediation-Wilson
Will Name Board Shortly-Seth
Low Mentioned as Head.

Washington, July 16.-New Federal
machinery for the adjustment OF rail-
road wage disputes was authorized
Yesterday when the House and Senate
passed and the President signed the
Newlands- Clayton bill just as it was
agreed upon Monday at the White
House conference between President
Wilson, congressional leaders and rep
resentatives of the big Eastern rail-
ways and their employees.
This law creates the Board of Media
ton and Cancellation, headed by
commissioner, to which the Eastern
railways and employees brotherhoods
have declared their willingness to sub
nit the wage dispute on account OF
which 10000 conductors and trainmen
have voted to strike. The union Off
GERS agreed to an armistice until this
afternoon pending action by Congress,
and officials here expect them now to
make ready to lay their case before
the Federal mediators as soon as
President Wilson makes the appoint
ments.
The new law went through both
houses of Congress without an OBJ
stacle being put in its way. Late In
the afternoon il reached the White
House and soon afterward this state
ment was issued:
"The President signed the Newland'
act as soon as it reached the White
House this evening and announced
through his secretary, Mr.. Tumulty
that he would proceed as soon as pos
sible, consistent with the importance
of the appointments. to the selection
of the commissioners of mediation al
provided In the act"
Seth Low, president Of the Nationa
Civic Federation, who has been instru
mental in bringing the railroad an
their employees together in the pres
ent dispute, is prominently mentione
for the position of commissioner G

other two members of the board are

Statement Expected in Short Time

Statement Expected in Short Time.
Administration officials admitted
last night that the situation in Mexico
and diplomatic inquiries over Europe
as to what the attitude of this country
would be toward its neighbor on the
south, were engaging their deepest at
tentiOn.
Secretary Bryan had two-hour con-
ference with President Wilson yester-
day and while the Japanese question
and departmental appointments con-
sumed much of their time, the fore
most subject before them was the Mex
icaH problem. Earlier in the day it
had been discussed at length at the
Cabinet meeting.
Nj. Bryan declined to say what the
>uoEsy OF the United States government
#would be toward any European repre-
sentations, but intimated that a pro
nohneement on the situation might be
expected in a short time. 1t is known
that the administration officials have
been opposed continuously to recogni-
ton Of the Huerta government until
elections were held and it has been
expected that any future declarations
TO the foreign powers would be along
the lines of the Latin American state
ment made by President Wilson soon
&{xer he took office. In this he pro
claimed that his administration would
seek TO make basis for intercourse
with Latin American countries the
principle of governments set up on

New York, July 16.-With the pas
sage by Congress of the Newlands bill
to provide an arbitration medium for
settling the wage differences between
the Eastern railroads and their $4,000
conductors and trainmen, new phase
of the controversy developed through
announcement by the railroads that
they will ask the board which con-
siders the demands of the employees
to take up also the grievances Of the
roads against the men. This angle of
the situation overshadows for the mo-
ment at least even the determined
stand by the Erie system that 1t will
not In any event submit its cause to
arbitration.
Chairman Elisha Lee of the confer
ence committee of managers last
night stated the railroads would de
mand arbitration which would take
into consideration all questions q diI

 Al Palzer has knocked out such men ns Al Kaufman and Bombardirr Wells and was never defeated excep; by Luther Mccarthy who in turn was killed by prlkcy. Palzer knocked out Kaufman in the fifth round. This w1s Moran's first real light in the hrst heavy weight class.
