figured in the trade which brought
Rabbit" Marranvillc, to the Pirates

on the Boston National League club,
according TO letters received here
from the two players.
In commenting upon the foregoing
dispatch Mr.. Southworth who is wint-
ering here with his fatherinlaw, DR..

letter to the Plttsburg Piratesr in
which he expressed his regret at
leaving the club after three years of
leadership under its management and
expressed the hope that the club
would have a strong lead just below
Boston. But Mr.. Southworth says his
letter was misconstrued in that he is
not we'll satisfied with the trsde. He
does not feel very happy over leaving
n winning team to join n losing ag-
gregation and that so far he has not
received contract from Boston and
will not accept one unless 1t pro-

have more money and as the situa-
ton rests now Mr.. Southworth Is

DID THE GROUNDING
SEE HIS SHADOW OR
NOT? OPINIONS VARY

According to ground hog tradition
winter is over, that is in the opinion
OF some folks.
When the little animal emerged from
his lair at dawn this morning the
skies were overcast with clouds and
he was unable TO see his shadow,
therefore. according to many, he
proceeded to forsake his home for
time and forage for n breakfast. II
IL true that later he might have seen
his shadow had he been booking for
IL, but according to the rules OF the
game as believed by some folks. he
was not entitled TO another look after
his first scrutiny. therefore II Is con-
cluded in some weather prognostigat-
ing circles that winter is a thing
OF the past. and that We viii soon be
luxurating in the lap of spring.
Some contend however that the
shadow proposition applies to an all
day session with the ground hog
and the sun. that Is, II the prophet
sees his sleek form cast in shadow
upon the sw1rd at any time during
the day II Is all Off as far as pleas
an, weather is concerned, but some
inhabitants contend that this Is all
wrong. that The question only applies
to his first appearance ut sunrise or
when the sun Is scheduled according
to the almanac and at no other time
during the day,
Dr. Il. l.. Davidson, pastor Of the
Broadway Baptist church. contends
chat he Is more familiar with the
habits Of the ground hog than any
man or woman In this section OF the
state and his contention is that Mr..
Hog does not make his appearance
until high noon. II this contention II

GREEK KING WANTS.
SULTAN TO SETTLE
NEAR EAST AFFAIR
MINIMIZES REBEL
SAYS HEAD OF TURKISH AND
GREEK GOVERNMENTS SHOULD
NEGOTIATE FOR AID
JUSTMENT

Athens, Feb. 2.-Direct negotiations
for the settlement Of Near Eastern
problems between the Greek and Turk
ish nationalists are impossible. said
King Constantine today. He indicat-
ed he was not averse to conversations
between Greek representatives and del
egates chosen by the sultan's govern
ment if such procedure was dictated
by the interests Of Greece.
He made it evident his government
would not recognize Mustapha Kemal
Pasha, head of the Turkish national.
lists, or his delegates.
Constantine declared he would make
no overtures TO former Premier Veni-
zelos, who is at present in France,
stating NJ. Nenizelos must take the
initiative.
while at Paris, Foreign Minister
SforZa Of Italy. suggested direct nego-
tiations between Greece and Turkey
for the settlement of their differences, y
said the king, but such procedure
would be out of the question at the
present time I do not recognize Mus
tapha kemal as a person worthy to
be dealt with. Why does Europe make
all this fuss over an outlaw? MUS
tapha Kemal is only a big bluff, big
bubble. and we could blow him off
the map as we would blow fly of
the table. If it seems wise after the
London conference for Greece to en-
ter into negotiations with the respon
sibe Turkish government in Constan-
tinople, we will not hesitate TO take
that step, but any discussion mus
take cogniZance of our right TO holt
Smyrna and Thrace."
The king stated that Prince George
of Greece and Princess Elizabeth Of
Rumania would be married at Bucha
rest on February Z, and that Princes:
Helene of Greece and Prince Carool
of Rumania would be married in thii
city ten days later. He expressed th'
belief that both King Ferdinand an'
Queen Marie of Rumana would conn
to Athens.
"I have had nothing to do will
these marriages." he asserted, mo
has the king of Rumania. The younl
people liked each other and their en-
gagements We're spontaneous. Queel
Marie liked my daughter and though
she would make good wife for he
son. She arranged most of the for
malties as any mother does"

Berlin, Feb Germany does not

Gil at Paris last week as being the
final settlement of the indemnity ques-
ton, but the basis of future negotia-
tions. This was indicated by DR.. WAL

spoke on the reparation question be-
fore the reichstag yesterday. His adj
dress was viewed as a cautious state
ment by party leaders. The prevalent
opinion was tina, DR.. Simons hac
not burned his bridges behind him,
and that his presentation of the Ger
man attitude might enable him TO gain
important time, both in anticipating
the Altitude Of the new American ad-
ministration and reaching definite
settlement OF the fate of upper Silesia.
Rumors have been current that
the present German cabinet would re-
sign, but they have been given little
credence, as no other coalition gov
ernment would be conceivable. under
the present unanimity of political
parties in Germany. Only the commune
lists stand out as the opposition. The
opinion was also quite universally
expressed that the independent social
lists could adopt no other attitude
than that of stern opposition to gener-
al conditions under which the proe-
tariat would be the greatest sufferers.
