there was a startled look in his eyes

scrutiny before he moved away.

His manner gave me an idea. Why
not divert Dickys attention from his
idiotic jealousy Of Robert Gordon's
interest in me. an interest which I

ARREST PETERSON
FOR BLACKMAIL
CONTINUED FROM PAGE oNE0

arrest Saturday morning. Several
witnesses were examined by the
board, but at 1 O'Clock Saturday
morning it was decided TO withhold
the boards decision until further in
vestigation could be made.
Patrolman Peterson stated that
on the mornings of Dec. % and o.,
at which time the holdups occurred,
he was home. He pulls the police
box for the last time at 4.2S a. m,
after which he goes home and goes
TO bed. His statements were verified
by his wife, who told a straightfor-
ward story of her husband coming
home in uniform at his regular
time on both these mornings.
Peterson admitted that he had
worn officer Walters cravenette
coat on the morning of Dec. %. when
he was beaten up by eight men, but
that it was the first and only time
that he had ever worn il. He also
testified that he told Walters Of
wearing the coat, explained the cir
cumstances, and offered 10 pay for
the damage done, or else buy the
coat of him.
Attacked by Eight.
Each Saturday morning Peterson
goes to his parents home to take
bath. and on this particular morning
he saw a man with two suit cases who
appeared 10 be heavily laden. He
asked him what the suit cases con-
tanned, and while talking 10 this
man, he was attacked by eight men
who beat him up badly.
Mike Bohajczak of 412 S. William
St, stated in his affidavit that the
man who held him up wore long
coat and carried a revolver, but
while on the witness stand last
night testified that the man wore a
short coat and carried no revolver.
Roman Proafinowicz who identi-
fed Peterson as the man who took
$4,000 from him during one of these
holdups, admitted that he had been
drinking rather heavily in Chicago.
and might have been confused on
that morning.
Mrs. Anna Pavlowitcz. the land
lady at 412 S. William St, testified
that two men in citizens clothes
came and took four gallons of whis-
key from John Petrowski's room on
the pretense of being officers.
Frank Andrus, a bicycle dealer at
105 w Sample st. stated that Peter
son brought his bicycle there to be
repaired on Dec. 16, and called for
it on Dec. 81.
King Testifiee.
Osmer King, a Lake Shore detec-
tive, testified that he had been ap-
preached by two foreigners who
told him that some one was holding
up the men on the west side ex-
tracing money from them and Civ
ing the name Of King TO those
who were held up. He said that
he framed on the man who was do
ing the work, telling the men to ar
rest the next person who held them
up.
Attorney John G.. Yeagley acted
as Peterson's attorney Thomas w.
Slick for the city.
All of the witnesses with the ex-
ception OF Mr. and Mrs. Peterson
and Osmer King had to be examined
through an interpreter. as none
were able 70 speak English. Sergt.
spent four busy hours act
ing as interpreter.
II is a question whether the board
OF safety will accept the unsubstan-
tiated word of bootleggers or those
made and verified by Peterson.

date and be quick about IT, They did
so and an armistice was signed he
tween Bulgaria, Serbia and Montene-
gro on one side and Turkey on the
other ON December 3.
Greece refused to sign any armlstlce
while Janina, the Albanian capital, re-
manned In Turkish hands, and contin-
ued to attack that city. The powers
hurriedly got together in a peace con-
ference In London. There was no
coming to terms with the Turk, and on
February 3. 1913. hostilities were re-
sJmed. The Greeks captured Janina,
and the Bulgarians drove In the Tcha-
ITALIA line. A Bulgarian and Serbian
army took Adrlanople with the Turk
ish commander and 10000 prisoners
Scutari In Albania was besleged by a
Montenegrin and Serbian army, and
Greek men-of.war In the Adriailc were
cooperating with the troops.
Powers Could Not Agree.
The powers were frantic and could
not agree among themselves. But on
April 10. 1913. another armlstlce was
signed. and on May 30 the beligercnts
signed Mt London n treaty of peace
with Turkey. by this treaty Turkey
surrendered to the Balkan allies tho
island of Crete and all territory on
the European mainland west Of the
Enos- Mida line, and left the ADJUST
ment of the Albanian frontiers and the
disposal of the Aegean islands 10 the
powers. which meant that Turkey gave
up all her European possessions ex-
cept Conslantinople and the country
Immediately back of II.
But the ink on the treaty was not
dry when the Balkan states began
to quarrel with each other over the
spells.
Thirty days after the treaty Of Lon
don had been signed they were nll ut
It again. with Roumanla now playing
n part. The Bulgarians attacked the
Greeks In the Panghaion district and
fought three days battle with the
Serbions. ending on July 30.
Bulgaria Declares War.
Three days later Bulgaria declared
war against Greece and Serbia, and
Montenegro declared war upon bnlga-
ria. Roumnnin declared war against
Bulgaria on July 10. and Turkey ut
the same time sent an army forth and
captured Adrianople without trouble.
The Bulgarians stubbornly resisted
the advance Of the Greek army north.
but King Constantine pressed on
toward Sofia. The Montenegrins and
Serbs hurled back the Bulgarinns In
the west, and King Ferdinand sued
for peace.
And now a new arrangement OF the
belligerent Balkans Is In progress.

Baynes on that road the day the
money was lost but had only heard
that he was there. He knew now that
he couldn't have been there. Gosh

The senator ate supper with Us and

turned to my uncle and said:

sciousness that represented men like

He left us and we sat down by the
glowing candles. Soon told them what

and went to the water pail for drink.

TREATY OF LONDON 1881.

of the FrancO-Prussi0n war of 1870 nj

of Vienna, after Napoleonic wars, had
constituted Belgium and Holland one
country under the House Of Orange
But the Belgians were never content IN

when the French revolution OF lS'o
which placed Louis PHILIPPE on the
throne took place the Belgians were
inspired to successful revolt which
was directly impelled by the events
of July In Paris. The laws of Holland
were generally unfnvornble 10 the Bel
CLANS; the Belgians were not proper
tionately represented In the legislature
and there was, besides, the difference

sections. Although the Belglans spoke

The boundaries which those chronic
dlsturbers of the peace, the Balkan
states. had before the recent world
war were established to them by the
treaty of Bucharest signed Mt the
Roumanian capital on August O, 1913,
by representative of the said states
and Greece. That treaty closed two
wars. practically. one In which the Bal
kan states were united In fighting Tur-
key and one In which they were fight
Ing among themselves. by 1910 the
Bulgar and Greek bands In Macedonia,
which had been quite as likely to mas
sacre each other as to massacre the
Turks, had got together for the pur-
pose of devoting all their efforts
against the common enemy. Then
trouble broke out In Albania and the
Serbians sent their irregulars to help
the Albanians against the Turks.
II was the same old story of the BAL
kans being "aflnme" again. In March
OF 1912 Greece, Bulgaria, Montenegro
agreeing to bury their mutual animosi-
ties temporarily and combine against
the Turk. Roumania stood alOof. The
Porte. alarmed, promised reforms In Al
banin and Macedonia. Turkey also AN
nounced that she would lold army ma.

Beoaa to "Dipiomatixe."
The great powers began To "diplo-
mntize," 70 prevent war. Germany
and Austria declared that the status
quo In the Balkans must be main
tnined, and Austria modified her
army. But the wild nations of the
Balkans had got out OF hand, and
little Montenegro. on October 3, 1912,
declared war against Turkey. On Oc-
tober II Bulgaria, Greece and Serbia
issued joint declaration TO the same
effect. A Bulgarian army Of 100000
men occupied Mustapha Pasha on De-
tober 10. Kirk Klisseh on the oath and
invested Adrianople on the 9th. Two
days later was fought the sanguinary
battle of Lule Burgas, the chief battle
OF the war, with front of % miles.
IN this battle the Turks lost $4,000
killed and wounded and 1900 prison
ers, while the Bulgarans lost 1900
killed and wounded. The Turks now
fell back upon the Tchatalja forts, the
last line Of defense for Constantlnople.
Meantime the SerbIans had swept
into Macedonia md were driving the
Turks before them with heavy losses,
while one part Of their army was sent
to join the Greeks at Salonikl and an
other detachment to help the Montene-
grins. The Greeks. coming up from
the south, routed the Turks In several
engagements and finally captured Salo
Mkt. Turkey asked the powers 10 me
