DANES CoNFESSES
More of Those Active In Arson Trust
Smoked Out.

Chicago, March lS.--The report that
John DANES, alleged to have been chief
of the so called larson trust" had made
confession was confirmed yesterday BY
First Assistant State Attorney Frank
johnson.
DANES, according to johnson, named
40 members of the arson ring, includ-
ing several men "higher up" and admit
ted he had set more than 20 fires in
Chicago.
The confession is said to be even more
startling than that recently made by
Benjamin Fink, who confessed compile
ity in 100 ineendary fires.
An aggregate of 100000 in insurance
was collected from the Danies fires, said
johnson, who announced that at least 10
warrants for business men, public fire
insurance adjusters and actual incen-
diaries named by Danies will be sworn
out today.

BRANDEIs WANTS NO OFFICE
He Will Be Loyal Supporter of the Will
SON Administration.

| Washington. March l3.-Louis D. Bran.
des of Boston will not accept the office
of commissioner of Indian affairs in the
| department of the interior. Whether
Mr. Brandeis has been offered the place
is doubtful, but it can be said without
fear of contradiction that the Boston
attorney will not enter the government
service. 1t can be affirmed with equal
positiveness that he is not even irritat.
ed by the failure of President Wilson
to give him a place in the cabinet. and
that his support of the Wilson admin
istration will be as cordial as that of
any other man. Mr. Brandeis expect,
however, to take an even more active
part in public affairs than ever before,
and from his own point of view the ac-
ceptance of any office at this time would
be handicap and tend to restrict the
scope of his energies.
The rumor connecting the name of Mr..
Brandes with the Indian Office has ev-
cited great interest here, for it is be-
lieved that Secretary Lane intends to
reorganize the Indian bureau from top
to bottom. 1t greatly needs reconstruc-
ton, not especially through Incompetence
or maladminstration ON the part of
present incumbents, but because it has
been permitted to grow into a great
administrative instrument without much
attention from Congress. The Indian
bureau needs more money and more men.
The commissioner is the trustee of hum
dreds of millions of property belonging
to the Indians, and his task demands adj

a thorn in the flesh with Congress, be-
cause few persons understand them, and
on those few too many are working for
their own interests rather than those of

the task of cleaning up the Indian bu-

Extra Session Not Likely to
Be Called Until
April 7
Likely to Request That the
Tariff Only Be Con-
sidered

Washington, March -3.--Presideni
Wilson was yesterday urged by Repre-
sentative Oscar Underwood, the Demo
cratic leader, TO postpone the date OF the
extra session of Congress at least one
week. As result OF Mr.. Underwood
suggestion recently, the president had
fixed upon April |. Mr.. Underwood now
advises the president that the ways and
means committee, of which he is chair
/ man, will require more time in preparing
the new tariff bills-action upon which
il expected to be the only business OF
the extra session.
This was the House leaders first con-
ference with the president and, though
he had no previous engagement he got
to the executive office ahead of the
fixed list of callers and was Immediately
received.
Inasmuch as Mr.. Wilson has said he
would be guided by the counsel of House
leaders, it is regarded as practically GER
tain that the new Congress will not
convene until April or 8. Mr.. Under
wood discussed with the president the
advisability of including anything more
than the tariff in his first message to
Congress.
Mr.. Underwood said as he left the
White House that the Democratic caucus
would decide whether the tariff was to be
revised in one bill or each schedule
taken up separately. As the bill has
been prepared, he said, it will be an
easy task for the caucus to decide either
way.
1t was reiterated at the White House,

European Peace Is Endan,

CONFEDERACY
The Last Despairing Cry
from Adri-
anople

London, March l3.-Today Europe is
hanging on the next move of Vienna on
the chessboard of the Balkans. Mediae.
val Austria Hungary, that mere geo.
graphical expression enormously called
a state, is the disturber and enemy of
peace. She is striving TO prevent by all
means in her power the rise of the young
Balkan nations, and especially OF Servla.
Russia, on the other hand, sympathizes
with the Balkan states, and desires that
they should be permitted to reap the
fruits OF their victories and to grow and
To develop. She is in favor OF allowing
events to take their course. As before
pointed out, ii the Balkan league hangs
together il can defy this selfish trouble
maker If the allies can take Scutari
and Adrianople in the near future and
free their seasoned armies to resist Aus
tria, the latter will have to back down
to just what Europe as whole can
agree upon. Adrianople cannot hold out
much longeT-Constanti dispatches
say one week. The Montenegrins appar-
emily cannot crack the Scutar nut alone,
and it is the sending of Servian troops to
their aid that has drawn the Austrian
fire. The reported Bulgar- Seryian clash
at Nighrita is the one disquieting feature
OF the allies campaign, but it may mean
nothing more than friction between
miner commanders. In the meantime
the alNcd Balkan nations have agreed
to accept the mediation OF the powers in
order TO bring about the termination of
bostilities, according to reports. Their
consent, however, depends on the agree
ment of Turkey to surrender the for
tresses of Ardianople and Scutari and
the islands of the Aegean sea, and also
to pay war indemnity"
