test Against Dilatory Tactics.
TEMPORARY RECESS IS TAKEN
Remarks Not Taken Too Seriously by
His Colleagues, Who Evidently
Expect Him to Return.

LONDON. January 1.-The meeting of
the Balkan peace conference was inter-
rupted suddenly this afternoon by Michael
Madjaroff. the Bulgarian minister in Lon
don, who Is acting as a Bulgarian dele
gate, rising and leaving after making the
statement that he was going to the Brit
ish foreign office to inform the authorities
there that the allies were going to resume
the war.
During the conference NJ. Nadjaroff had
uttered sharp protest against the dila-
tory tactics of the Ottoman plenipoten-
tiaries
NJ. Madjaroff-s action brought The pro-
ceedings to a sudden standstill After his
threatening remarks he promptly left the
council chamber in the picture gallery of
st. James Palace. and walked to the Brit
ish foreign Office. His threat was not,
however. taken too seriously by his col
leagues. who decided to take temporary
recess. evidently expecting that he would
return and that the conference would con-
tinue.
Seek to Avoid Ultimatum.
1t was early recalled by both the Otto
man delegates and the envoys of the
Balkan allies today that a critical stage
uteu EtdCueu when serious UuSlIeSS
must be done. Premier VeniZeres. the
head of the Greek delegation, presided.
Before gathering at ST. James Palace
the majority of the Balkan representa-
tives definitely decided not to give their
collective remonstrances to Turkey the
character of an ultimatum, in order to
avoid anything that might produce the
impression that they wished to break off
the negotiations. II the negotiations were
broken they realize that the responsibility
would rest on the party which had de-
cided 10 commit itself to definite terms.
Visit Paid to Paul Cambon.
Most of the delegates from the Balkans
visited Paul Cambon this morning and
asked the French amba ssador to urge at
the meeting of the ambassadors tOmor
row more active attitude on the part
of the triple entente in favor of the allies.
allies.
Whatever course is taken by Turkey,
1t Is believed that the moment has ar
rived for action. The situation at Adria-
nople Is becoming desperate. and should
the city fall the position of the Turks
would be worse than II is now. When
Adrianople vas besieged :. it had provis.
ions sufficient for about three months.
These will be exhausted in two weeks.
and even admitting that horses and other
animals may be used as food. it is
thought that the city will not be able to
hold out against hunger after the end of
January. Accordingly, it will be to the
interest OF Turkey to come to an under
standing with it's enemies before that
time.

NEW YORK, January 1.--Detectives
and deputy sergeant-at-arms of the
House of Representatives in squads of
six spent New Year day watching the
house of William Rockefeller on 9Th
avenue. The idea gained ground today
that Mr.. Rockefeller after all was not
here. but Charles +. Riddell. sergeant-at-

take no chances. but would continue the
siege. One of the detectives was GER

their residence here Sunday morning.

this morning and ran across the street
to post letter caused furry among the
early shift of detectives. One of them
tried to see the address on the envelope,
but the servant was too quick for him.
AS a result of the incident. however. the
post office authorities may be asked to
help the process servers by noting the
addresses on the Rockefeller mail.

that they had better not make an outcry
the two robbers left the young women
and ran down 18th street. The sisters,
badly frightened, went to their home.
They looked back long enough to see the
colored men run up an alley between
Girard and Harvard streets.
AS soon as they reached their home the
police Of the 10th precinct were notified
by telephone of the hold-up. Several po-
Iicemen were sent from the station to
make a investigation.
The man who had the revolver is de-
scribed as being five feet three inches
tall, weighing about 12O pounds and wore
dark clothes and cap. The other man
is said to be of light skin. five feet two
inches tall and about the same weight as

Goes Into Mourning.

IOcS luLO
And now the ''growler'' sits in mourn
ing Its handle never more 90 will be
pushed through the side door and over
the mahogany bar. The red shirted lab
orer who has hailed the growler at the
stroke Of twelve upon a hot summer day
will perhaps have to take to cold tea or
ice cream soda The growler has passed
on beyond. The poker party, With Its
cigars tilted at rakish angle, with the
smoke making it hard to tell pair or
queens from full house, will have to take
to the bottled stuff, for no longer can the
host carry the water pitcher down to the
corner. where the green doors swing
both ways The growler has passed on
beyond.
His Ditty Doomed.
The hallway social will not know itself
again. and no longer will the joyial soul
who made the growler famous he able to
sing:
4 light in the window.
A pail in the hall;
Ten cents will fill It,
4 drink for all.
Nay. never again. The growier mas
passed on beyond.
And sad to say ii, the Retail Liquor
Dealers Association did not favor the
growler. and, in fact helped to banish
it. The man in the red shirt and carpet
slippers, who has been seen swinging JOY
fully toward his little cottage home with
pail Of brimming amber In his right
hand, believes in general way that the
police or the Commissioners had some
thing to do with 1t. or that the excise
board gave the order which killed the
growler at midnight last night.
But such is not the truth. In the Dest
legal circles where growlerology is being
studied. it is said that the excise board
merely warned the saloon men that they
don't like the growler business. and while
they really cannot stop it by law the
growler, il pushed across the counter any
more will count against that saloon man
when he comes to ask for a license again.
Fruit Jars May Be Used.
Some one suggested that in place of the
'.growler." a fruit jar, with the cap
screwed down, could be sold instead OF
the time-worn tin pail, water pitcher or
gray stone jar That is t!cklish legal
point, but it will be tested, no doubt, at
the court of last resort, which is at the
corner where the green doors swing both
ways.
But today the crepe is on the growler." +"
With the old-fa shioned spelling bee, the
horse and buggy, the daguerreotype and
other institutions the 'grOwler, as far
as the capital of this great liberty-loving
nation is concerned. is thing of the past.
The hot days will come and the hot days
will go. Men can carry it OH the hip. -
but as for rushing the can with the suds
stopping over the side as they hasten to
get to q shady place-there will be no
more of that
Yes, growler is no more.

Attachment May Be Issued.

1t was declared today that formal
report would be made to Congress thai
Mr.. Rockefeller was deliberately evad-
ing the process servers who seek to
subpoena him before the Pujo commit
tee at Washington. which is investigat-
ing the money trust" 1t Is forty-four
days today since the subpoena for Mr..
Rockefeller was issued.
Charles F. Riddell. sergeant at-erms
of the House of Representatives, said
that as soon as he could get into
communication with Chairman Pujo he
would submit evidence that Mr.. Rookie
feller was deliberately evading serv-
ice. If the House were convinced by
the evidence it would be within its
power to issue an attachment enabling
Sergeant-at-arms Ridde1l to break into
the Rockefeller homes to find him.
The reports are, however, that last
night at least Mr.. Rockefeller was at
neither of his homes, but was with his
son. William G. Rockefeller, In Green
wich. Conn. His physician stoutly MAIN
tains that Mr.. RockefelIer's physical
condition is such that he could not ap-
pear as a witness in the investigation
without involving serious hazard to
his health; that it might even prove
fatal.

in Greenwich, as it had been reported.
according to a definite statement made
by Mrs. William G. Rockefeller today.
She said that while William Rockefeller
had been accustomed to pay frequent
visits to his sons home, he had not been
there in several weeks. She would not
say where he was at present She also
said her husband was out of town.
William Rockefeller's automobile has
been seen frequently about Greenwich
within the past two weeks but Mrs
Rockefeller insists that it had been used
only by members of the family and not
by her father-in-law.
