The fire started in a passage
way between the burned house

TO consider the question of secur-

the street and municipal improve
ments, now that the bond issue of
SI2,0OO was held to be void, the Mayor
and City Council will meet in spe-
cial session in the municipal build

that he would be compelled to reject
them because the special election.
when the bond issue was put up to
the voters, was not held in the time
stipulated in the act of the last Legis-

loan. Meanwhile, a tentative offer
was made by representative of the

gency by a loan at somewhat better
advantage to the city than would have
been the case at five and a half per

Arrived Here Saturday

The seaplane reached Annapolis
late Saturday afternoon, and after
taking on more gas. resumed the
flight to Washington yesterday morn

the craft behaved perfectly and good
time was made during the trip, al
though no official figures were an

Ellyson is well-known in Annapolis.
He was among the first naval officers
to take up aviation and made many
flights about Annapolis when navigat-
ing the air was in its infancy and the
school OF instruction was located at
Annapolis more than a dozen years
ago. He was in an accident at one
time that laid him up for several
months. He gave up aviation for two
or more years. only to resume IL
again. and now is one of the most ex-
pert flyers in the naval service.

BANDITS MAKE
DIAMOND HAUL
After Smashing Window Auto
Bandits Escape With II
Rings Worth $4,000

NEW YORK Dec. 23.-Descending
from an automobile into the midst
of the throng of holiday Shoppers on
upper Broadway three men tonight
smashed the window of a jewellery
store with brick wrapped in cloth
and escaped with Il diamond rings
which they snatched from trays in
the display windows. The rings were
valued at $4,000.
The robbery was carried out with
the utmost daring. Parking their
expensive looking car in the line
of automobiles which stood at the
curb, two of the bandits, fashionably
attired, strolled non-chalantly toward
the jewelery's display window, leav-
ing a third companion at the wheel
dozen persons inspecting the
jewels behind the glass when one
of the new arrivals quietly drew
from under his arm what appeared to
be a parcel-the brick wrapped il
towels. Before any of the pedes-
trians realized what was happening
the parcel was hurled at the window
shattering the thick plate glass and
making the gems readily accessible.
Gathering up two trays containing
the II valuable rings the bandit
pair quietly withdrew to the curb,
climbed into their car and disappear
ed into the streams of traffic along
the brilliantly lighted thoroughfare.
Two customers and eight clerks
were in the store when the robbery
occurred. Too late, however, to frus-
trate the robbery or enable the po-
lice to prevent their escape, the
clerks gave the alarm.

Turks Holding Out Against

TAKE BRIEF RECES S
Allies and United States
Maintain Firm Attitude
Upon Capitulations

LAUSANNE, Dec. 23.-(By the AS.
sociated Press)-The eNar East con-
ference had taken a brief Christmas
recess, until Tuesday afternoon and
there is general hope among the
delegates that the two days respite
will aid the conference leaders in
finding paths of wisdom and pro-
gress.
Christmas week has set the con-
ference back rather than forward; !;
even the straits, which seemed on
the verge of a satisfactory settle
ment was placed in peril. A new ul-
timatum from the Turks that if they
could obtain their desires on several
points, especially with reference to
a non-aggression pact in favor of
Turkey, they would not accept inter
national control for the passage of
warships, has prevented settlement
of the straits question.
The Lausanne big four-Curzon,
Barrier, Garroni and Ismet Pasha,
are trying to find outside the confer
ence halls. The entente statesmen
have said to TurLay: I'VE will give
you your guarantee of non-aggre--
sion but such a pact will obligate
thepowers to be responsible that
you will not be attacked; therefore
give you international commission
jurisdiction not only over the pass
age of ships through the straits but
also over the zones of demilitariza-
tion. responsibility implies authority
to prevent disaster"
But the Turks say that foreign
supervision over Turkish zones would
violate Turkeys sovereignty, Lord
Curzon, who will eat his plum pud-
ding at Lausanne, instead of in
London, may win Ismet Pasha over
to compromise during the Christ
mas holidays.
There are other great conference
difficulties-capitulati and customs
tariffs, and the latter may never
be settled at Lausanne. With re-
spect to capitulations, which the
Turks desire to be rid of, the allies
and the United States are taking
firm attitude. They lack confidence
