The California orange crop has been
frozen up. We should worry. Frank
Chance yesterday fell off the fence on
the New York side and signed a three
year contract to manage the Yankees
at a figure that makes each individual
orange look like the proverbial grain
of mustard seed.
Inquiries regarding this figure failed
to develop anything tangible. When
asked about it, Frank Farrell, owner
OF the Yanks. passed the buck up TO
Chance and Chance passed it back to
Mr.. Farrell There was no opportunity
afforded TO sneak a glance at the con-
tract itself, so we are in the dark re-
garding certain things it contained.

JONES SEES HARD
JOB FOR CHANCE

Portland. Ore, Jan. 9.-Fielder Jones.
former leader of the White Sox, said
today that while Frank Chance was
certainly worth all he could get from
the New York Americans, he doubted
whether Chance would please the High
lander fans.
He cannot possibly make a first d.
vision team of the club this year
said Jones. for Boston, Philadelphia
and Washington will have firm hold
on the top places, and Chicago, Detroit
and Cleveland will all have clubs which
l doubt IL Chance will be able to pass.
IF Chance puts the Yankees in the
first division in three years he will be
doing wonderful thing and long be-
fore the three years the fans will be
knocking him hard that much OF
the incentive to build up winner will
be taken from him."

MOTHER" JONES SPEAKS
counseIs Strikers to Keep Sober and Avoid TroubIe-censure for Sending Troops Into Strike Zone.

Calumet, Mich, Aug. 6.-Direct ap- peal for a senatorial investigation of the copper miners strike was made by the Western Federation of Miners to- day. Resolutions asking such action were adopted at a mass meeting which with Mother Jones as the magnet drew to Laurium several thousand strikers and other residents of the cop per field
 The resolution extolled Senators Kerns. Borah, Maritime and Reed for their part in the recent West Virginia inquiry and condemned the county and state authorities for ordering troops into the local strike zone.
 Mother Jones counseled the strik- CTS to avoid trouble and remain sober and her witticism at the expense of the employers aroused her usually phlegmatic hearers to roars of appre- citation. So vehement did the woman become that at the end of her speech she was exhausted.
 While the striking union men were rallying, additional steps were taken toward organizing those employees of the Calumet and Hecla Mining com pany who supposedly are willing to return to work These men are to as- senable tomorrow to hear a report of a committee which yesterday conferred with the company management.

They found in the little harbor two mine planters belonging to the local defense and the General Frank. just in from New York
 All hands on board the mine plant CTS, the letter says, were sleeping in fancied security, so that Lieutenant Commander Hellweg was able to paint the word Sunk" in large letters on the side of two of the craft.

 Specializing on Another War.
 London, Aug. 6-The second Balkan peace conference having concluded peace on a basis of compromise which is unsatisfactory to aII the states con- cerned, except possibly Rumauia, the question is being asked how soon a third Balkan war will break out.
 Bulgaria has obtained under the agreement arrived at in Bucharest to- day @ considerable of porthern Mace- do1ia-much more than the allies were at first inclined to give-ssnd also about sixty miles of the seaboard which will enable her to- build her projected railway from Philippopolis to the Aegean. Bulgaria, however deeply re- sents being deprived of Kavala, a port on Ksvala Bay, which goes to Greece under the agreement. Also she is con- fTonted with the task of expelIiug the Turks from Adrianople, it being clear that the powHrs will do nothing in this direction. Bulgaria will seek to in- troduce in the peace protocols to be signed at Bucharest tomorrow a res- eFvation practically appealing to the European powers for a subsequent re- vision of the peace treaty.

Bucharest, Aug. 6-Peace was con- cluded tonight between the Balkan states and the preliminary treaty will be signed tomorrow by the delegates of Servia, Greece, Rumania, and Bull garia. The agreement was arrived at only after another exhibition of the utter helplessness of Bulgaria to face her king of enimies.
 Wednesday the discussions in the peace conference threatened to become intermingable, but M. Majoresco, the Rumanian premier and president of the conference, clinched matters by threatening that unless Bulgaria ac- cepted the modified frontier proposed by the allies Rumania's army would occupy Sofia next Saturday. This threat had the desired effect and an agreement was arrived at today after numerous private consultations be- tween the delegates and four hours sitting of the conference.
 The New Frontier.
 The new frontier as agreed to starts at a point on the old frontier west of the Strun1a river, following the water = Ehed to west of the town of Strurn- hftza, thence runs almost through the Sb-uma valley to the Belesh mountains and thence easlerly in almost a straight line to the Mesta river, thus leaving the town of Strumnitza, the port -,f Lagos and Kanthi to Bulgaria and .he port of Kavala to Greece T,.e new frontier is deep disappointment to the BulgaFians who still nurse hopes for it's eventual revision by the powers.
