the women from many states VINO
crowded into the rooms of the house
committee on labor today to endorse
the bill Of Representative Peters. of
Massachusetts, proposing an eight
hour day, six days a week. for women
workers in the District Of Columbia.
.They told us that hotel guests ate
every day, that COWS had to be MIXED
every day, and that busy seasons
made it impossible to limit the hours
of work Of California women, she
said, "but since we passed the eight
hour law all the threatened difficulties
have disappeared. The added expense
comes not on the manufacturers or
business men bit upon the public and
the people of California were willing
the tax should be added for the devel-

Movement.

Pittsburgh, Pa, Jan. 3O.-The fourth
successive advance in crude oil was
made when the South Penn Oil Com
pany announced its prices today. The
prices were lifted Z cents a barrel
bringing Penn crude to $3.50 and 9TH
er grades to the following prices: Mer-
Ger black, Corning and Newcastle
s1.S6; Cabell, s1s3; Somerset, 1872
There was no change in Raglan from
70 cents.
When the Standard Oil Company oi
New Jersey was dissolved by order OF
the supreme court last year number
of smaller companies were organized
and competition for crude oil for the
new refineries has become pronounced.
For eighteen months preceding the
dissolution of the Standard. which took
place Dec. Is, 1911, Pennsylvania crude
on which the price Of all oil Is based
by the purchasing agencies, has been
quoted at $1.30 a barrel Eleven days
afterward the price was advanced
cents and then it became apparent that
the purchasing agencies OF the various
Standard Oil subsidiaries had deter
mined to force prices to a much higher
level The policy Of tacking on cents
to the price they paid was continued
to Dec. IA, when the producers dream
was realized in the arrival of ~ oil.
Jumps 28 Cents in Four Days.
Soon after the beginning Of the new
year another advance Of cents waa
recorded, on Jan. s. and on Jan. -
cents was tackled on. From that time
until this morning there have been
daily advances Of cents and oil men
here were today predicting $3.50 oil by
midsummer and So oil before the end
Of the year.
While it is realized that there Is q
scarcity of OIL the movement this weef
has been SO unusual that many persons
feel that something more than the
legitimate commercial demand under
lies 1t.
The effect Of the advance has been
more pronounced in western Pennsyl-
vania, West Virginia and Ohio, where
many leases are being taken up and
preparations being made to begin drill
ing operations without waiting for the
appearance for warm weather. as is
customary.

STATE WILL NOT FAVOR sIckLEs
Will Push Suit to Collect Money Duo,
SAYS Attorney Ganaral.

Albany, Jan. 30.-Gen. Daniel E.
Sickles' services as a soldier should not
deter New York state in its efforts to
collect the s26,476 unaccounted for by
the general as chairman of the New
York monument commission. This is
the view advanced by Attorney General
Carmody in letter sent to Mrs. Helen
d. Longstreet, Of Gainesville, Ca,
widow Of q confederate general.
In telegram to Mr.. Carmody, Mrs.
Longstreet had offered to raise $23,-
476 from 1.-The ragged and manned fol-
lowers Of Lee"

Carmody wrote in reply, "but they do
violence to the facts in this case.
General Sickles appropriated this
amount to his own use. This he has not
attempted to justify or defend, admit
ting he took the states money for pri-
vate use without authority of law, an
act which, under our laws and under
the laws of all civilized governments,
means stealing.
He was given his own time to repay
this amount, and that time was eX-
tended at his suggestion, without any
desire to embarrass him, and with the
full appreciation of the claim which he
has on this nation for the great serv-
ices he rendered in The rebellion.
But even the fame of the soldier
must not be used as cloak of protec-
tion for theScommission of crime. and
it is nothing less than misdirected
sympathy to Undertake so to confuse
the questions involved as to. make. an

rurk;.h Reply Not Acceptable.

London. Jan. 3O-"Emphatically the
Turkish reply to the note of the Euro
pean powers is not acceptable" was
the comment of DR.. Daneff. leader of
the Bulgarian delegation, when he was
shown the terms Of the response.
He continued: Speaking on behalf
of the allies / state that the Turkish
reply is not of a character to form
the basis Of fresh negotiations. We
have said that the fortress OF Ad-
rianople and the Turkish islands in the
Aegean sea must be ceeded and with
ont this negotiations will not be re-
sumed.
Moreover, this cession must be
made before hostilities are resumed,
and the first shot will change our con-
Gitions."
Resumption Of Conference Possibis.
The Balkan delegates do not consider
Turkeys reply to the powers note sat
isfactory. Some Of them admit. how
ever, that it may have effect OF sus-
pending denunciation Of the armistice
and SO give the Turks time to recon-
slider the situation.
In case Mahmoud Shefket Pasha
should yield TO the fresh advice which
the powers will offer, some Of the Bal
kan delegates may postpone their de-
parture from London. Reconvocation
of the peace conference and the con-
clusion Of a treaty Of peace without
the resumption Of hostilities is still re-
garded as possible.
Turkey Faces Civil Strife.
Events in the Balkan peninsula are
moving with such rapidity that the
world may be soon confronted not with
the question Of peace or war but with
a catastrophe which will lead Turkey
into civil war.
Those who know the Ottoman empire
believe that the revolt among the
troops on the Tchatalja lines was
much more grave than it was an
nounced in the short dispatches passed
by the censor.
Close observers Of events in Turkey
expect that similar revolts will occur
in the Asiatic provinces where the
elements opposing the young Turks are
stronger than in European Turkey.
