Democrats Studying
 Leaders DeCIar atiOnS
BRYAN SAYS HE IS NOT CANDIDATE FOR NOM INATION---MAY BE GET TOGETHER ON
 RATIFYING TREATY

Washington, Jan. 9-President Wilson's decision that the League of Nations issue should be placed before the voters as a 'tsolenn referendum and William J. Bryan's contention that the Democratic party cannot go before the country on the question, but should accept such compromises ''as may be possible arc the twin surprises of the conclave of party chieftains which found it's climax in the annual Jackson Day dinner.
 The Presidents message to the party, written from the sick room in the White House, and read to the diners, made no mention of third term for himself and no announce ment of a impending retirement to private life, as many had predicted it would.
 MT. Bryan's speech, taking definite issue with the Presidents decision on the great question, was accompanied by statement that he was not speak ing as candidate for the presidential nomination.
 Today the rank and file of the Democratic party as well as the lead CTS throughout the country are studying the opposite announcements | of the two national leaders and at | tempting to assess their effect on the partys fortunes at the nominating convention which will be held in San Francisco, June 18th and at the polls next November. Many political Ob- servers feel that it is yet too early to estimate the position in which the cleavage between the president and the foremost Democrat in private life leaves the party. They feel that the situation must settle down a little. i It seems agreed that MT. Bryan's argument that the treaty should be

PANIC REICNS
 AS VOLCANO
 CRATER OPENS
Orizaba Now Emitting Smoke and People Are
 Terror Stricken.

Mexico City, Jan. 9.---Intense ex- citement and panic reigns among the inhabitants of the cities of Cordoba and Orizaba, in the western part of the state of Vera Cruz because of the opening of a new crater of the volcano of Orizaba, 15 miles to the northward The new crater is emitting smoke ac- cor1tng to information received last night at the offices of the presidential military staff from army officers in the earthquake district.
 It is officially reported that nothing untoward has been noticed at the other volcanoes in Mexico, including the two huge extinct craterS of Popo- catepetl and Ixtacihuat1. southeast of
 this city or at the extinct crater of Colima, near the Pacific coast The tremorS detected by instruments here yesterday were felt at Coscomatepec. Cordoba and zongoliz, state of Vera Cruz, but no damage was done by them.
 Experts believe the reported open ing of a small and supposedly extinct volcano at San Miguel and the breaking out of a new crater on Mt.
 Orizaba proviNe an explanation of the earthquake which on Saturday night centered. with terrific effect, along the line between the states of Vera Cruz and PuebIa-
 New advices tell of 200 deaths near
 San Miguel and in the country dis tricts near Cordoba, and it seems inn probable the final list of casualties will fall below original estimates of 2,O00, even if reports of 1000 deaths at CouzAan were exaggerated. From compilation and comparison of vary ing dispatches, it is believed twenty villages were completely destroyed ! without a doubt a. number of towns 1 and villages partly defolished or bad ] ly damaged
 | Among the places which reports
 from different places to the presiden-
 tial military staff and Mexico City pa-
 pers say were totally destroyed are
 Couztlar, with 1000 dead and as many
 more injured; Barraca Grande, where
 300 are dead; Coseomatepec, with 4c
 killed; Calcahualco, which has van-
 ished with its POO inhabitants; Cam

 GRAND JURY SESSION

 BE TRIED IN HARTFORD.

Hartford, Jan. 9-That Mas sachusetts would get the ma jority of the alleged poison gang held in New York by federal authorities ap- peared evident today, with the return of secret true bills in Springfield Thursday night by a special session of the grand jury being called to order on the wood alcohol cases.
 District Attorney Charles H. Wright of Western Massachusetts and Pros ecutor Alex w. Creedon of Hartford went to New York today to attend the conference there with federal au- thorities concerning the final dispo- sition of the 25 men now held in that city on technical charges of having violated the federal prohibition law in transporting liquor. Prosecutor Creedon said before leaving that if the Massachusetts authorities did not want the men some of them would
 be brought here and charged with murder.
 Whatever the decision in New York
 may be, indications are that the four
 men now charged with murder here in connection with the deaths of 13 victims of wood alcohol poisoning would not need extradition to Spring field but would be tried here.
 Public sentiment in this city is SC
 strong against the men that it is safe l to say the Hartford county authorities l having worked from the start on ths
 case, will not give up Salesberg, Jos ] eph, Bronerwine and Rose to anoth- | CT jurisdiction.

AreSeekiing i To Expel
 Turks
Wish to Get Them Out of Europe With Mahom-
 medan Uprising.
U. $. WILL NOT
 TAKE MANDATE

Washington, Jan. 9-Having abandoned hope that the Uni ted States could be induced to accept a mandate over Turkey, the allied powers are in corre- spondence with a view to find ing some solution of the prob lem of expelling the Turks from Europe without causing such an uprising among the Mohammedan peoples as would endanger the control of the European nations over them.
 Information reaching Washington is that these efforts in progress out side of Paris where the supreme council is sitting, though 1t is expect ed that the ratification of that body will be required to give effect to any plans adopted.
 Reports from India, Egypt and other countries where the Moham. medans are numerous, of a genera. objection to the expulsion of the IurN rom Europe, and 1nSlStence upon the retention of the head o1 their church in Constantinople under threats of boycotts of christian busi- ness and trade and even actual war. fare, have stimulated endeavors ot the entente foreign offices to fint some plan which will satisfy the Mo. hammedans and at the same time free Constantinop1e from Turkish ad ministration
 One such project which it is learned has been brought into discussion a. promising to afford a basis for action contemplates the assumption of tht control of Constantinople by thu Leauge of Nations; the declaration O. the city as a free port, and the actua administration of the place by com mission nominated by the Mohanme. dan populations of countries and col onies, such as India, Egypt, Tunis, Mo rocco and possibly the Malays of tn, Philippines if the United States cal be induced to participate to that ex | tent.
 It is proposed to c1othe this com
 mission with full powers to contro l Constantnople politically and admin l itser the local government.

CHRISTIANA, Feb. 10-Oscar Math-
iesen of Christiana, Sunday won the
worlds ice skating championship
from Robert Mclean Of Chicago. The
final races of the series were held
yesterday and Mathiesen captured
both of themAthe 1900 meters and
the 10000 meters.
On Saturday the American took the
5,OOO-meter event, while Mathiesen de-
feated him in the 500-meter sprint.
In the 1,50O-meter event, Mclean
started out like whirlwind, making
the first 500 meters in 40 $40 seconds
This outclassed Mathiesen's world
record of Saturday, which was 43 $40
seconds. But the American apparent.
ly overstrained himself in this burst
of speed and Mathiesen succeeded in
passing him and winning by fraction
of second.
In the last contest of the series, the
10000 meters, Mclean was badly
beaten.
