LONDON, July 25.-Mrs. Emmeline

LONDON, July 25.--The Balkan sit
uation today had reached a most
acute stage, and it was semiofii cially
admitted that the ambassadors in ses-
sion al the foreign Office were facing
complications that may bring about
an International crisis. With Turkey
and the former allies defying the eX-
pressed will OF the greater nations OF
Europe. the harmony of the concert OF
the powers is seriously menaced.
Affairs in the troublesome Balkans
have reached such a state that indi.
vidual action by some single power
Russia for instance, would surprise
nobody, but such action might precip-
itate a situation embroiling the whole
of Europe. No general war is feared
according TO the most reliable infor-
nation. but a general diplomatic mis-
understanding is threatened.
When the news came that Enver
Bey had retaken Adrianople for Tur
key, the great powers irowned prodig

not content with repossessing her
own, but actually had invaded Bul

ables We're Omitted

Secretary Thomas May. OF the
Wayne county jury commission, took
the stand IN the jury probe in con
Ee1tiOn with the trial of Aid Gilman,
in Judge Phelans court. this morn
ing, and effectually refuted the state
monts that he had exceeded his au.
thority in the selection of the panel.
Evidence has been adduced by at.
torneys for Gilman, TO show that the
jury commission did not officially
draw the jury lists because Secretary
May was allowed to make corrections
and changes in the lists of other com
missioners. The defense had prom
ised another witness to support their
contention. but he was not present
and May was put on in rebuttal
Did you have authority from the
other commissioners whose lists you
changed" asked Attorney James Nc
Namara
Certainly. replied May "If |
hadn't had IT, would never have
taken the liberty"
Three of the names for which sub
sttutions were made. we're those of
saloOnkeepers. Some of the others
were ineligibles. In some cases he
merely used his own Judgment, Mr.
May said.
Mcnamara then directed his oues.
tons toward Mays reasons for rejec-
tion of certain names. Prosecutor
Shepherd objected strongly, arguing
that Judge Phelan had already ruled
ont all questions as to the reasons for
rejecting names. The court perm itte1
the questions, however, and Mr.. May
said one name had been thrown out
because II was that of a bartender,
another because he was a meat in
spector and probably politician
others because they were a saloon
keeper. sergeant of police. an in
spector. the father OF a saloonkeeper
