STRIKE SITUATION
IS UNCHANGED
Both Sides Not Anxious To
Conciliate.

New York, jan 2O.-There was
no indication yesterday of any
change In front, either on the part
of the manufacturers or strikers, as
the fourth week of the garmentmak-
ers' strike began The strikers are
said to be just as insistent as ever
that their union shall be recognized,
while Eugene S. Benjamin, president
of the New York Clothing Trades
association, remains firm against
this concession. Both sides aver
that they are well organized and
financially strong enough to main
tain their positions for some time to
come
Two meetings to ratify the agree
ment entered into Saturday between
the manufacturers and the leaders of
the dress and shirtwaist branch of
the concentrating industry, by
which the strikers are to return to
work today, were held yesterday. At
both there seemed to be only half
hearted acquiescence by the workers
in the plans of their leaders. The
protocol affects 129 shops and close
to 10000 operatives. It is expected,
however, that only about half the
latter will return. Even if all go
back, it would leave more than 100,--
900 workers still on strike in other
branches of the garment trades.

RIFLES GREET THE SHERIFF

Cortez, Colo, Jan. 20.-Determ1n-
ed not to deliver Big Rabbit, one of
their tribesmen, to the county au-
thorities to answer a charge of as
sault, the fifty Ute Indians who are
entrenched in the mountains
eighteen miles from here, defied a
sheriff's posse of 100 men yesterday.
The Indians Saturday took up their
position in the mountains after they
had left the Ute reservation in
southwestern Colorado and declare
today that they will fight the white
men to the death rather than give
up Big Rabbit.
Indian Agent John Spear has been
appealed to by the county authori-
ties in the hope that he might be
able to induce the Indians to return
to the reservation and surrender Big
Rabbit Spears advances yesterday,
however, were rebuffed by the In
dams, and he has wired the interior
department at Washington for in
structions. Spear stated yesterday
that he would take no further ac-
ton until he had heard from Wash
tngton.
AS soon as the Utes learned that
Big Rabbit was wanted by the
sheriff, who would place him under
arrest to face the charge of having
shot Joseph vichel, Mexican sheep
herder. the Indians friends departed
with him into the mountains. All
are armed with repeating rifles and
are said to be amply supplied with
ammunition.
When Sheriff Gawith reached the
reservation Saturday he learned Of
the revolt. With, few deputies he
rkastened to the Indians stronghold
but was met with threatening rifles.
A messenger, friendly to the Indians.
was sent to talk, with the leaders of
the band. They refused to enter in
to any agreement which meant the
surrender of their comrade. The
sheriff retreated to Cortez and swore
In a hundred deputies, thinking he
could awe the Indians into submits
sion by show of greater strength.
When the posse arrived at the pass
where the Indians were still fortifi-
ed, it was found that the spirit of
defiance on the part Of the Indians
had greatly increased. The sheriff
retreated, seeking the aid of Indian
Agent Spear.
The Indians, it is said, are actu-
ated by a clannish feeling of resent
ment against the whites because of
insults to which they say camp of
shepherders subjected them. Two
weeks ago Big Rabbit and another
Indian attempted to camp near the
spot where group Of shepherders
had pitched their tent. The shep-
herders, it is said, resented the ap-
pearance Of the Indians, and ordered
them from the vicinity of their
camp. The Indians retaliated and a
fight ensued in which one of the In
dams was killed and one shepherder,
Joseph Vichel, was injured. Big Rab-
bit carried his dead comrade back
to the reservation, and the killing
aroused the anger of the Utes.
Vichel will recover, it is believed,
though he probably will lose the
sight of one eye.

PROBLEM UP TO
WHOLE NATION
Porte Decides to Call Assembly
to Answer the
Powers.
SAY IT MAY MEAN YIELDING
Cabinet Fears Making Concessions,
but Refers It to the
People.
SAY IT MAY MEAN YIELDING

London, Jan 20.-The porte's de-
cision to call national assembly
Tuesday to take under advisement
the Balkan situation probably her
aids further concessions on the part
of Turkey--concession which could
not be yielded by the cabinet with
out risking it's fall. In any case, the
Balkan delegates in London do not
believe the porte's reply to the Joint
note of the powers will be such a
fat refusal as was foreshadowed
from Constantinople.
Saturdays dispatches reported
that the Turkish government had
reached a decision not to cede Ad-
rainople or the Aegean islands, but
was willing to enter into negotia-
tions respecting those islands some
distance removed from the Dardanel-
les. If Turkeys answer is unsatis-
factory the allies, in Difference to
Europe, will ask the powers wheth-
er they have means to compel Tur-
key to comply with their wishes. If
not, the allies will carry out the
plan already announced for resump-
ton of the war.
In such event the allies will not
recognize the undertaking consent
ing to an autonomous Albania, or
the promise of Servia and Montene-
gro to retire from the Adriatic.
Questioned as to the possibility in
this case of Austria employing force,
the head of one of the delegations
said yesterday:
1--WE shall see whether the triple
entente, and especially Russia, will
permit such action on the part Of
Austria. 1t we are forced to fight
another war, the cost of which is
nearly $1,00O,OOO daily, we will not
abandon territories already occupied
unless driven out by force. That
would mean a European war.
.'If Austria were permitted to
march on Belgrade and to lombard
our troops on the Adriatic, and we
We're crushed, we should prefer to
become Austrian rather than belong
to the Slav race when our mother,
Russia, lacks the force or will to
protect us"
Washington, D. c., Jan. 20.-In
the sea fight Saturday between the
Greek and Turkish fleets to the
south of the entrance to the OAR
danelles, according to cablegram
received at the Turkish en-
bassy yesterday from the Turkish
secretary of state, some of the Greek
were damaged, while the
battleships escaped unharm-
ed. The text of the dispatch was as
follows:
after battle Saturday lasting
three and half hours against the
entire Greek forces, our feet return
ed to the Dardanelles without suffer-
ing the slightest damage. Accord
ing to the report of the commander
ln-chief of our fleet, the officers and
men displayed great courage and
persistence. The Greek battleship
Ayeroff and Others of the enemy's
feet have been damaged by our pro-
iectiles."

RICHIE BETTER
THAN JOE RIVERS
OR LEACH CROSS

| Whatever the relative merits of
| Leach Cross and Joe Rivers may be
| it plain that neither strengthened his
position as a championship possibil-
| ity to any great extent by his per-
Torrance on Tuesday night. Rivers
| is supposed to show up much better
| in twenty rounds than in ten, yet he
weakened in the closing sessions with
Cross, who is essentially a short dis
lance boxer.
In their first bout 1t was Rivers
who finished strong, and this was as
expected; consequently when the sit
uation was reversed Tuesday night
the dope was completely upset Just
why Rivers slowed up after taking a
big lead in the early rounds is hard
to account for unless he was caught
out of condition
But it has been said of Rivers that
he is what is known as a front run
ner, and his actions seemed to bear
out that view. He boxed in great
style at first, and it looked though
Cross would not be able to place a
round to his credit. But the moment
Cross shot over a, few hard ones FGiv-
ers lost confidence and his lack of
real class was apparent.
Champion Ritchie's ability is still
something of a mystery, but appar-
emily he should have little difficulty
in defending his title against either
Rivers or Cross. In view of the fact
that Rivers is young, and can be ex-
pected to, improve, he will probably
be the one Richie will have to reck-
on with, as Cross is too much of a
veteran to be taken seriously in
championship bout
If Richie is the clever boxer he is
supposed to be, Rivers will have to
do a lot of improving to come out
on top The Mexican's style never
varies, and should be easy to solve
by a good ring general AS a boxer
he does not class with Packey Nc
FarIand, Freddie Welsh or Jack Brit
ton. and as a fighter pure and sim
pie his dislike for punishment offsets
to a. great extent his superior
strength.
If Cross gets a chance to meet the
champion he would have an outside
chance of landing a winning punch
just as he did against Mandot, but
he would have to be very lucky
