GREEK FLEET May
enter wDARDANELLES
ATTACKS OF ALLIES UPON ADRIAN.
OPLE WILL BE CONTINUED.
TURKEY IN NEED OF FUNDS
Situation in Constantinople Is Desperate.
Janina Would Have Surrendered
but for Influence of Austrian
Consul.

London.-rhe Bulgarians are dexoting
their chief attention to the bombardment
of A~drianople and an attempt to cap
ture the Gallipoli peninsula and so take
the Turkish forts in the rear.
An official dispatch issued ct Constan-
tinople indicates that the Bulgarians
have been successful in their first oper-
atoms in the latter quarter, and, accord
ing to a Sofa dispatch, the capture of
Gallipoli is the chief object of the Bull
garian ambitions for the time being.
Should the Bulgarians capture the
Turkish forts there is nothing to prevent
the Greek fleet from entering the Oar
danelles where, in the opinion of naval
officials, it could easily defeat the in.
terror Turkish fleet, in which case Con-
stantinople would be at the mercy of the
allies.
The Daily Telegraph published u long
dispatch from its correspondent, Ellis
Ashmead Bartlett, at Constantinople, in
which he says the Turkish people are
in such a state of misery and restitution
as a result of the wal that they are com
pletely Indifferent as to the fate of
Adrianople.
"There is not a cent in the treasury
and there are no means of getting money
until peace is concluded, and, meanwhile
the country is drifting to ruin and bank
ruptcy.
"The misery in the Turkish camps is
indescribable. 1t has been bitterly cold,
with a heavy snow. The soldiers are ill
fed and badly sheltered. Smallpox, en-
teric fever, ~dysentery and pneumonia
have replaced Asiatic cholera"

SHOE COMBINE is LAWFUL
Sherman Law Not Violated by Organic
ing Company.

Washington.-For the first time the
supreme court of the United States held
in effect, in the "shoe machinery trust"
case that the Sherman antitrust law
does not forbid the mere combining of
non-competitors in an industry. Solic-
itor General Gullitt for the government,
had contended that if the combination
brought into one hand an undue pro-
portion" of the trade it was forbidden
by the antitrust law.
"The dis%tintegration aimed at by the
statute does not extend to reducing all
manufacture to isolated units of the low
est degree" declared Justice Holmes in
announcing the unanimous decision of
the court that the mere organization of
the United Shoe Machinery Company by
the heads of several non-competing
groups of hoe manufacturers had mo-
been a violation of the law.

JAN|TOR CONFESSES
NUMBERING THREE
JOHN PAUL FARRELL CONFESSES
HE KILLED MRS. HERRERA.
INSANE, BUn STORY TRUE
Every Time He Had Grudge He Settled
1t With Bomb-Fearing He Would
Lose His Job, He Sent Bomb
to Herrera.

New York.-John Paul Farrell, a dis
charged apartment house j%anitor, con
fessed that he had killed Mrs. Bernard
Herrera by means of a bomb he had
made, and that by similar means he had
caused the death of Mrs. Helen Taylor
Il year ago and attempted the life of
Judge Otto A. Rosalsky Of the court OF
general sessions. Farrell was held ON
u charge of murder for the killing Of
Mrs. Herrera.
Although the police are convinced the
man is mentally unbalanced, detectives
have learned enough to lead them to be-
lieve Farrell's startling story is true
in the essentials, though false in many
details.
Every time Farrell had a grievance he
seems to have settled the business with
a bomb. The trouble with Mrs. Herrera,
he said, was that she 'fired" him from
his job as %janitor and hired a negro in
his place. He wanted to get Judge Ro-
salsky out of the way because the jarist
had sentenced Joseph Harvey, sAApal;"
TO serve SO years in Sing Sing.
Why Farrell wanted to kill the Taylor
woman was more than the police could
fathom. In his early story Farrell said
she was his daughter and he slew her be-
cause she hau gone wrong. Later he
recanted and said she was an intimate
friend, but gave no reason for killing
her.

He Recommends That Rates on Second

S45, 600, 900.

Washington. Postmaster General
Hitchcock annual report tentatively
suggests reduction OF some parcel post
rates aud increasing the limit oi weight
beyond II pounds; recommends civil
pensions for postal employees; an increase
in rates on sccond-class mail which may
pave the way for one-cent letter postage;
the consolidation of the third and fourth
classes SO books and papers may be for
wardcd by parcel post; and FONTS out
that during his administration, expense
OF operating the postal service has been
cut down $l5, 10000.
In course OF a statement on tie condi'
ton of postal finances, Mr.. Hitchcock
says in his report:
"In 1911, for the first time since 1888,
postal receipts exceeded postal eXpend'
lures, leaving a surplus instead Of a
deficit. A heavy loss of revenue in 1912,
duo to the extraordinary amount OF
franked matter mailed in the political
campaign, created a temporary deficit,
but since the close of the fiscal year the
income of the department again has out
stripped expenses.
"The year preceding the present adj
ministration was marked by the largest
postal deficit on record, amounting to
SIT, 500, 900. During the next two years
the deficit was greatly reduced and later
eliminated. When compared with the
financial showing Of four years ago the
reports of income and expense for sabsc-
qucnt years Indicate an aggregate say
inc of about Si5. 900, 900"
