REACH AN AGREEMENT.
Greece. 1t Is Said. Has Resolved tt
Stay Out of The War.

Athens. Nov 20. = Bulgaria and
Greece nave reached an agreement
which will keep Greece out Of the
war. according to the Athens press
today.
Bulgaria, these accounts say, will
'demoblize at the end Of its Serbian
campaign and promise not to cross
The Dioran-Gyevgyeli line nor to en-
ter Monastir.
Should military operations against
Monastir become absolutely neces-i
sary. it is arranged that Germany
shall conduct them without Bulgar
participation.
Gyevgyeli is the first Serbian town
north Of the Serbo-Greek frontier,
from which it is hardly gunshct
distant. Dorian is five miles farther
north. Both are on the Nish-S aloniki
railroad.
This means 8ulgar pledge to keep
outside Greece.
Monastir, in southwestern Serbia,
eight miles north of the Greek from
tier, is point where the Greeks con-
slider that a Bulgar stronghold would
menace their territory. They take it
for granted, however. that Germany
would have no object in holding it
except as Temporary military neces-
sity.
Though the arrangement outlined
is deemed in Athens. at least in anti
war circles, of nature to safeguard
Greece, it would not seriously hamper
Bulgaria in her plans for the con- |
puest Of most of Serbian Macedonia.

sole Hope Lies An Governor.
NEW YORK. July 2e-The sole hope OF
saving Charles Becker from dying IA the
electric chair at Sing Sing prison to-
morrow morning lies in Governor Whit
man. Counsel for the condemned man
announced today that they had aban-
doned the idea OF appealing to Judge
Hogan OF the court OF appeals at syria
cuse for q stay OF execution.
The attorneys added that the only
course remaining open for them to pur-
sue was to appeal 10 the governor TO re-
prieve Becker until October. when the
court OF appeals reconyenes. Should the
governor grant such stay OF execution,
counsel said they would enter an appeal
from the decision OF Supreme Court
Justice Ford. who last aight declined to
grant a new trial on the ground Of newly
discovered evidence.
Decision of Justice Ford.
Justice Ford announced his decision at
10 o'clock last night IN his chamber where
he had lebored for several days and
nights on the briefs submitted for and
against the application for a new trial.
He called the waiting newspaper men into
his chambers and. as his secretary handed

trial, and this 10 my birthday. I'm SOL

II virtually arrived at my decision Tues
day night" said Justice Ford, "but spent
many hours since then phresing and ar
ranging the opinion"
Then the justice chatted for several
minutes on the law involved in the case
he had Just decided. Mrs Becker was
said at that very moment to be visiting
her doomed husband in Sing Sing.
Justice Ford's decision covered five full
pages OF legal cap paper and contained
about 1900 words. II goes into the de-
tails Of the affidavits filed by the at
torneys for Becker and declares that the
evidence proffered "is for the most part
cumulative and hence insufficient"
Has Net such Power.
Referring TO the plea OF W. Bourke
Cochran, chief counsel for Becker, that
the right to grant new trial is inherent
in the court the decision says:
y cannot find anywhere IN the au-
thorities even a suggestion that this court
Possesses any such dnherent) power On
the contrary as has been pointed out.
the power is granted by statute and must
be exercised In strict compliance with e."
In conclusion the court says:
'As I studied the authorities and ex-
amined the atfidavits. the conviction has
grown upon me that II "a new triaD
could not be granted without disregard-
Ing the law and attempting to usurp
