TERMS OF PEACE
Thinks the Allies Demand Too Much
Friction Between Greece and
Bulgaria Reported.

LONDON. England March Il. - There
is little prospect of the acceptance by
Turkey of the peace terms as proposed by
the allies Dispatches from Constantine
pie say that the leading members of the
committee of union and progress have de-
cided that the conditions could not be ac
cepted and ii is understood that the coun-
Gil of ministers has adopted the same view.
The grand vizier. Mahmoud Schefket
Pasha, yesterday visited the Red Crescent
society and begged the members to con
tinue their efforts, as the government was
resolved to continue the war. At other
capitals and among the ambassadors in
London the allies demands are considered
extravagant, especially with regard to the
payment of indemnity and the cession of
Scutari and the Aegean islands.
In the meantime the agitation against
Bulgaria continues in Greece. The Greeks
in Thrace and eastern Macedonia have
sent a petition to Athens against their in
corporation by Bulgaria. Premier Neni-
zelos in reply boldly declared that he long
ago had notified the allies that Greece
laid no claim to Thrace. This announce
ment. which was made in the Chamber OF
Deputies aroused vigorous protest A
dispatch from Belgrade says that anti
Bulgarian articles are also becoming com
mon in the Servian newspapers, while the
Greek and Servian cabinets are becoming
very intimate. and it Is reported that they
have already concluded a defensive treaty

SIR EDWARD GREY STATES POSI- TION IN REGARD TO ADRIAN.
 OPLE DISPUTE.
There is Nothing To Prevent Cash Indemnity Being Asked of Fur.
 key, He Says.

London, Aug i2.-Sir Edward Grey, secretary of state for foreign affairs, made clear this afternoon the position of the great powers with re- gard to the Balkan states and the re- tention of Adrianople by Turkey.
 In answer to questions, Sir Edward stated in the House of Commons that the powers had agreed on policy Regarding the Aegean Islands and autonomy for Albania. Turkey, he said, would be expected to heed the wishes of the powers with regard to Adrianople.. The powers have hinted to the Balkan states that there is nothing to prevent them from de- manding a cash indemnity from Tur- key, if the Porte should disregard the wishes and advices of the powers.
 The secretary added warning to the Balkan states, that it must not be taken for granted that the ap- parent failure of the powers to in- tervane in the recent Balkan crisis means that the powers are blind to their responsibilities or that they will not intervene if there be sufficient provocation.

of the Treasury McAdoo regarding the share which Arkansas is to re ceive of the $50,000, 900 to be distrib- uted by the treasury department to aid in the movement of crops.
 At the conference Secretary Mo- Adoo would not stipulate what amount would be loaned to the Ar kansas banks, but let it be known that all of the money to be used for moving the crops ia Arkansas will not be deposited in this State. MT. McAdoo gave as his reason for doing this the fact that many of the country banks do not transact business witl Little Rock banks, but do business and have their correspondent banks in St. Louis, Kansas City, Memphis and New Orleans. As a result some of the money will go to the banks in these States.
 The Arkansas delegation asked Tor $1,OOO,0O0 and although MT. McAdoo did not commit himself he said that at least $5O0,00O would be deposited in the Little Rock banks. He also said that the money would only be deposited in banks which are nation al banks, holding government securi- ties to cover the amount of the loans.
 Mir. Duncan said that he was pleas- ed with the idea of the governmeIt advancing the money and that he thought a fair distribution would be made. He expects to arrive in Lit tie Rock Wednesday,.

right to impeach, held serious con- sultation with Adjutant General Hamilton with view to protecting himself with a. line of bayonets, should an attempt be made forcibly to remove him.
 A rally of the Republicans around Sulzer, based solely on the desire of the Republican bosses to keep Martin H. Glynn out of office, frus- trated the plans of the Democratic leaders to impeach in the morning and caused messengers and messa- ges to be sent flying about the state to drag in the necessary seventy-siX votes
 The fight against Glyan which is due to the fear of the Republicans that his administration will retrieve the Democratic fortunes, was taken up by all the Republicans save three and has already become a menace to the plans of the Democrats.
 The Governor, in council with his friends, spent placid day after a sleepless night. His eyes are red from lack of rest and his face is drawn and haggard with care, but his outward demeanor is calm, but he is apparently filled full of confidence that he will pass unscathed through the most mOnOtonOus time of his history. He retired after nightfal to the executive mansion as he did last evening and directed his fight by message and telephone.

|FIGHT AGAINST
 CURRENCY BILL Wingo, of Arkansas, Was One of Congressman to
 Attack It's Features
REDRAFT OF OLD PLAN
Eagle, of Texas, Declares That Measure Is The AIdrich Bill
 Which Was Opposed.

], Washington Aug 12.-Arguing that the Glass-Owen Currency Bill business Representative Eagle, of Texas, a member of the House Bank ing and Currency Committee, today made vigorous attack on the entire plan of the bill Eagle charged that in many essential features the Glass Owen bill was only redraft of the Aldrich currency bill, which has met with Democratic opposition through out the country.
 Citing Andrew Jackson and others as Democratic authority, Eagle in sisted that the government should be divorced from the banking business and that the banks should be left free to compete under legislative re- strictions and supervisions. Any cen- tral authority necessary to control details of note issues, rediscounts or discounts, he said, should be conn posed of representatives selected by the banks. Interest rates should be left to the banks to determine as they depend upon healthy conditions. on competition and business demands.
 Representative Nicely, of Kansas, attacked the reserve and rediscOunt sections of the bill, cYYargfr1g that they did not give to the agricultural and laboring classes equal advant- ages enjoyed by holders of invest ment securities and brought no reiiet from the monopoly of money.
 An amendment prohibiting inter- locking bank directOrates was pressed by Representative Otis Wingo, or Arkansas, but it went over.

Will Not Receive Huerta s Special Envoy and He
 May Turn Back Home
WASHINGTON IS EASY
Elated Over CabIegram And News That Great Britain Will Not
 Recognize Huerta.

Washington, Aug. 12.-The Mexican situation took a turn for the better this afternoon and tonight there was a marked feeling of elation among State Department officials over the fact that Japan had expressed unwil- lingness to receive General FellN . Diaz, the special envoy whom General Hureta had sent to that country. This was the most important de- velopment of the day and the admin istration's supporters made no ef- fort to minimize the effect that they believed it would have on curbiag the war like spirit of General Huerta. Mexico City dispatches have flatly de- clared that Felix Diaz had been sem to Japan to enlist that country's aid against the United States. It is now believed that Hureta will recognize that he may look for no aid from any world power if he defies this country.
 London dispatches saying that Great Britain had recognized Hureta only provisionally, was another source of satisfaction to the State Department.
 The Tokio dispatch saying the Japanese government would not re- ceive Diaz officially added that the 1 government hads intimated that his visit would be unwelcome, although the official explanation was put thus: i '"The Mikado is now absent from the capital, being at his summer home.'
 It is believed here in view of to- days Tokio dispatches that Diaz will turn back. The action of Japan and of Great Britain was regarded by of ficials here as tending to strengthen the policies of the United States during the mission of 'Mr. Lind in l Mexico because Japan and England have now shown their hands as ia no way favoring personally either | Huerta or ms pOllLlCS.
 These remarkable developments in the relations of the foreign powers to Mexico were referred to Secre- tary Bryan and to officials at the White House for comment, but they refused to give the view of tho government officially as to their evil dent importance. MT. Bryan would not comment even on the common view that Japan, among other things, by refusing to receive Felix Diaz had virtually made public declara- ton to the world that she repudiated the impression sent out from Mexico City that there have been or will be any secret treaty relations between the Hureta government and Japan.

VICTIM TELLS HER STORY IN COURT Miss Marsha Warrington On Stand Details Elopment
 to Reno, Nevada
DIGGS IS ATTENTIVE
Testimony Satisfies Morbid Specta- tors and Probably Means Long
 Sentence for Accused Man.

San Francisco, Aug. 12.-.Iust as Theodore Roche was exhibiting to the jury in the Diggs case this after noon some of the most distressing bits of material evidence. a grey fig trembled and seemed about to flee.
 It was Marsha Warrington, 20 year old motherless girl, whom Maury I. Diggs is accused of taking with him from Sacramento to Reno.
 Diggs never took his eyes from her during all the hour and twenty minutes of her ordeal before adjourn ment-an ordeal that began with their acquaintance last fall and that car ried them in Pullman drawing room to Reno last March. He leaned far forward in his seat. hand to ear, to catch each low spoken word
 Camenetti, with gleaming eyes and tense demeanor. leaned forward just behind Diggs No wonder both were alert and attentive, for this was the tale that will mean for them jail or liberty-and so far as Marsha War rington has gone, it looks like jail For she insisted both she and Lola Norris mad struggled for two weeks against the inopportuning and argu- ments and threatenings of Diggs and Camenetti before they had agreed to elope to Reno. that they had even missed one train on the fatal Sunday night before they had at last con- sented.
 That is a main feature of the case the proof that the two young men lured and persuaded the girls to go with them on an immoral escapeade- and this young girl, in her half audi ble voice, was telling convincing story in a convincing way. When she came to tell her story she spoke in such low tones that Judge Van Fleet had continually to admonish her to speak up. Finally, even he decided it was useless to try for l founder vocalization.
 Certainly it was hardly story a woman of twenty would care to speak in tones of the suffragette campaigner, for the material details slowly drawn from her were sufficient to appease the taste of the morbid-almost enough for the prurient.
 Diggs bought the tickets and Cam inetti gave Miss Norris some money, But even then one train was permit ted to go out without them because the timid girls could not make up their minds to take the final plunge. Finally, however, they took a later train, and the fat was in the fire. There were plenty of details for the curious about the taking of the draw ing rooms, the secrets of the toilet and the pairing off for the night For the law four tickets from Sacra- mento to Reno were admitted in evi- dence.
 Then when court adjourned, the party had reached Nevada, donned their clothes, taken luncheon at a restaurant and were on their way tC the Riverside Hotel. The tale of Miss Warrington will be resumed at 1( o'clock tomorrow.
