POWERS ADVISING
PEACE DELEGATES

London, Jan. IA despatch from
Constantinople says the Turkish gov
eminent has firmly decided not to
make any new proposals of peace.
London, Jan. There is practical
ly no disposition in London to doubt
that as soon as the allied delegates
have celebrated the orthodox Christ
mas holiday the peace conference will
be resumed. There is deep seated re-
luctance among all parties against re-
opening hostilities, although threats
of such an eventuality are still utter
ed At the same time the powers are
occupied IN offering friendly advice TO
the antagonists, and in case this
proves insufficient the ambassadors
are seeking the best method of inter,
vention. 1t is believed the greatest
effort of the powers will be exercised
on Constantinople. If weeks elapse,
however, without yielding Adrianople,
the Bulgarian delegates declare "it
will be General Savoff and cannon who
will speak"

fic Patrolman Sticken was seriously
wounded in an exchange of shots dur
ing a pitched battle, was charged to

in his various crimes, but would not
iniplicate either James Mitchell, the
chauffeur, or Charles McNeff, the
wounded butchers apprentice, arrest

SMITH and CORE
TO MEET WILSON

Trenton, y. J., Jan. 7.-Senator Hoke
Smith of Georgia, who was a member
of Cleveland's cabinet, and Senator
Gore Of Oklahoma will confer with
President-elect Wilson tomorrow. The
meeting with Smith is regarded as
one of the most important Wilson has
had since he began TO consult demo-
cratic leaders.
The governor has not declared him
self on the seniority rule, but the ac-
tivity of Smith and other democrats
intimately identified with the Wilson
campaign has led some to believe he
tacitly approves the reorganization
movement
Wilson also wants TO learn the views
Of Smith covering possible appoint
ments to the cabinet His name has
been mentioned for a cabinet port
folio, but It is believed he wishes TO
remain in the senate. Gore has been
conspicuous In the movement TO re-
organize senate committees.
