CapituIation Terms Discuss
circumference Suspends.

Vienna, Jan. IA Sofia dispatch
says that at the request of the COM
mander at Adrianople Bulgarian and
Turkish delegates met this morning.
1t is supposed that the meeting was
for the purpose of discussing the ques-
ton Of capitulation.
London, Jan. 7.-"Suspension is" one
term used to describe what happened
at yesterdays meeting of the peace
conference. 1t is also spoken Of ASIAN
adjournment sine die"
The Turkish delegates, while refus-
ing to accede to the allies demands,
offered further concessions. They said
they were ready to abandon Ottoman
suzerainty over Crete and to make an
other slight adjustment of the frontier
of Thrace, but on the vital issue Tur-
keys answer was uncompromising -
neither the city Of Adrianople nor the
Aegean islands would be surrendered.
The Turkish statement ended:
eff despite these vast sacrifices the
allies, eschewing all intention of open
ing the way of concession, are minded
to break off the negotiations all the re-
sponsibilities for the consequences OF
this rupture will fall upon them"
TIE Balkan delegates answer was
brief and emphatic. The Turkish pro-
posals were pronounced "unaccepta-
bic" and without further parley the
allies suspended the sittings.

FILLS PLACES
0F.B0ARDS AND new
COUNCIL ~RE0RCANIzES

on the schedule of organization. City
Clerk Wilbur LaRoe called the body
to order following a committee ses-
sion in the ante-room of the water
department. Mr.. Seaman declared
that inasmuch as the council was
without a president one should be
chosen. He made a motion that Mr..
Sandbeck act as president pro tenn.
Mr.. Clark made an amendment, Sc
lecting Mr.. Sandbeck for the entire
year, but this was lost.
Mr.. Seaman then made a motion
that the rules of the council adopted
January 8, 1912, stand for 1913,
with the exception that a clause per-
tanning to the selection of a vice
president be omitted. This was an
amendment adopted January 8, 1912,
to make former Alderman l.. G. Dal-
ton acting mayor. 1t was as follows:
There shall be a vice president
elected by the council, who in the
absence or disability of the president
shall act as president of the board"
On motion of Mr.. Seaman standing
committees for 1913 were chosen as
given above.
The board is composed of but six
members since the presiding chair
was vacated by Mayor Garretson.
The council is Democratic, four to
two. On Mr.. Clark's desk was a
bouquet of carnations from the Tam
many Association which he received
with delight.

attire and left shortly after 7 o'clock
for the Warren. 1t is presumed the
theft "a committed between that
time and about 8 o'clock. Mr.. Girls
t1ani was first to discover that the
house had been looted and from the
circumstances 1t is apparent that the
robbery was going on in the upper
story while he was reading q paper
on the first floor. After returning
with his wife about 1850 o'clock he
sat down to read the evening papers,
while Mrs. Crist1ani went to visit a
neighbor. After reading for almost
an hour, Mr.. Cr1stiani went to the
cellar to attend to a furnace. Upon
returning he was surprised to find
the real door open. Burglars we're
at ono suspected. 1t was thought
they had just entered and were up
stairs.
Mr.. Cristiani armed himself with
a piece Of iron for use until he could
get his revolver. He secured the
latter but found no burglars on the
second floor. Burned parts of match
es Uttered the floor of every bed
room. Contents of bureau drawers
were strewn about and jewelry box
es were found on the beds and floors.
A rear bedroom window, which had
been locked when Mr.. and Mrs.
Cristiani went to dinner, was found
open and the shade drawn down.
This indicated to the occupants that
the thief climbed up on a small one
story extension in the rear and
through the window. Pebbles from
tha anr1 ynnCiffnn pnNP on fba avian
sion were found on the window sill
and about the floor of the rear bed
room.
Valuable watches and gold medals,
necklaces, bracelets, cavaliers, stick
pins, cuff links and the like were
taken from a front bedroom, from
which most of the loot was secured.
Several small articles of gold jewelry
were taken from the room of Mrs.
Cristiani's mother, Mrs. Mamie
Mailer. Practically all of Mr.. Maid
ment's clothing and several small
articles of value were taken. A gray
overcoat belonging to him was
spread out on the bed as if to indi-
cate that the robber was going to
wrap something up, but was fright
ened away.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cristiani believe the
job was the work of n or more
amateurs, by eason of the fact that
SO many matches were used. They
thought it queer that an electric
pocket fash lamp was not used and
hat silyerware was not taken as
well as gold articles. They reported
the theft to the police about 9
O'Clock. PatrOlman Steed was sent
to investigate. Detective Sergeants
HUFF and Long are working on the
case today.

New York, Jan. THE death of
James r. Keene, following an illness
that has caused his retirement for
years, has set the wise ones guessing
as to the amount of his fortune and
the disposition he made of 1t. Some
estimates place his wealth at $780,
600, 600, while others say 1t will not
be more than s2,000,000. There
are few facts on which to base a
guess. Mr.. Keene was never COM
municative about his personal af-
fairs, and most of his wealth was in
vested in stocks and bonds as to
which there is no public record. Mr..
Keene had two children, a son and
a daughter. The daughter was mar
ried to Talbot j. Taylor, whom she
divorced some years ago. The son,
FoXhall Keene, was with his father
when he died, and it is believed that
he will inherit the bulk of the estate.
The son is an athlete and is noted as
a polo player. He has never made
much of a mark as a business man,
but vas interested in the turf until
racing was made unlawful in New
York.

A visit to the factory where the great

For instance. a shop sage says that the
reason the ball Is called pigskin Is that
in the old days a pigs bladder was
used to give buoyancy to the ball. The
bladder has been carded and rubber
substituted.

weighs from thirteen to fifteen ounces
