TURKS PROPOSALS
Allies Delegates Are in Rage
Over Proposition.
MAY BRING ABOUT BREAK
ENJOYS Declare Terms Submitted by
the Ottoman Representative Does
Not Even Form Basis for
Negotiations.

London, Dec. 30.-"These terms do
not form even the basis for negotia-
TONS was the unanimous outcry of
the peace ENJOYS of the allied Bal
kan nations after Rechad Pasha. the
chief Turkish delegate, had read the
reply he had received from Constan-
tinople to his request for instructions.
If the Turks attempt to stand by
their guns or resort to strategy. the
allies may break the negotiations. It
is considered not improbable that Tur-
key desires this, with the hope of in
tervention by the powers. which would
lead to a European conference of
mediation
Text of Proposals.
The proposals presented by the OF
toman delegate were:
L. The province Of AdrianopIe to
remain under the direct administra-
ton Of Turkey.
2. Macedonia to be converted into a
principally, with Salonika as it's cap
ital The principally to be under the
suzeranity of the sultan of Turkey,
but governed by a prince chosen by
the Balkan allies and nominated by
the sultan of Turkey.
3. Albania to be autonomous. under
the sovereignty of the sultan and gov
erned by prince of the imperial OF
toman family.
A. All the islands in the Aegean
sea to remain Turkish
5. The Cretan question not to be
one for the decision of the conference,
as it is matter between Turkey and
the great European powers
Balkan ENJOYS Angry.
Even while Rechad Pasha was en-
gagged in reading the Turkish propo-
sition, the Balkan delegates could not
refrain from manifesting their anger.
One of the Bulgarian delegates,
speaking to the Turks, said:
"You must remember that the al
lied troops still are at the Tchatalja
tiate on the basis of the aismember-
ment. of European Turkey, any discus
sion will be futile"
Rechad Pasha replied, defending
the claims of his government. He
then expressed the opinion that the
work of the delegates would be
smoother and mutual relations better
if the press did not chronicle all de-
tails of the conference.
Will Defend Positions.
Vienna, Dec. 30.-Gen. Popovitch,
commander of the Servian garrison
at the port of Durazzo, is credited
here with the declaration that neither
he nor his troops will recognize any
orders to evacuate Albania.
They say they will defend the posi-
lions they occupy even against the
decisions of the London conference or
orders from Belgrade.

Report That Benton
Will Sign for Life

SAVANNAH, Ga, June IA
story from Cincinnati has reached
Savannah to the effect that after
hurting a magnificent game Pitcher
]. p. Benton, better known as Rube,
announced his engagement to Miss
Ruth Rorh, of Hyde Park, a Cincin-
natl suburb. 'Rube" is a straw mound
performer for the Cincinnati Ma
tional team.
"Rube" Benton is the man who sew
eral years ago wrote to the secretary
Of the Savannah Baseball Associa-
ton asking for a job on the pitching
staff of the Indians. He comes from
the apple growing section of Nortl
Georgia, and his chief claim of ability
was that he knew he could pitch
baseball because he had practiced
throwing apples in his fathers or
chards. The application was turned
down by the Savannah Club.
"Rube" then wrote to Macon. His
application received better treatment
there and a try-out was secured. The
fellow from the country made good,
and that year Macon turned out a
championship team with "Rubs"
Benton as the principal contributor
to success.
Before the season was more than
half over there were big league
scouts from many cities watching
his performances from the grand
stands in the cities in which he work
ed. Before the end OF the season
was well in sight several offers were
made for the big countryman. Gin
cinnati succeeded in landing him, and
he went UP next season 10 real fast
company.
Pitching apples in orchards surely
must he a good baseball developer,
If "Rube's" tale is to be believed.
After he landed in Cincinnati he new
err was even considered as one Of
the men to be released. He made
good from the start and has been
delivering the goods in grand style
ever since.
