LAUSANNE, Nov. 24.-Eastern
Thrace-the slice of European
territory that the Turks obtain as
result of their military victory
over the Grekes-will be bounded
by q demilitarized zone in which
the Turks may not maintain troops
nor establish forts, 1t was decided
today by the Near East peace con-
ference subcommittee handling mill
tary and political affairs.
This subcommittee. which is
headed by General Weygand, chief
of staff to Marshal Foch, was ap.
pointed by the general committee
on military, political and territorial
matters.
1t took up the question of demili-
tarization during the morning, leav-
ing Bulgaria's request for a "win-
dow" on the Aegean sea until, this
afternoon. The subcommittee was
expected to make q formal report
later.
The friendship shown to Bulgaria
by her former enemies in the war
was one of the surprising results
Of the conference so far.
Premier Stambolinsky of Bulgaria
made formal request that the port
Of Dedeagatcn be restored to bull

NEW YORK, Nov. 24.-Cop-
per-haired and hazel-eyed Helen
Burch, who was one of Washing
tons most beautiful brides Of
the last social season, was busy
today scrubbing out an attic in
Greenwich Village, which she
plans to furnish and heat her
self, her furnished room being
too cold.
Between scrubs she admitted
she has been separated for some
time from her rich husband, Will
liam Henry Pickford, son of a
Washington builder, and confided
she has no present intention Of
returning to him.
Husband in California.
Young Pickford, who was attached
during his stay abroad to the Swiss
legation and who is now believed to
be in California. is well known in
diplomatic and social circles. Ted
Noyes, of Washington, was best man
at the wedding.
But despite the fart that he can
offer her luxuries and comfort and
take her from the cold garrets Of the
village to a cozy home, Miss Burch
told friends she will stay IN the vii.

flying his part in the execution.
Cross never flinched during the
ordeal. His only words on the
scaffold were:
They're taking pictures out
there"

that no pictures be taken of him
on the scaffold.
The condemned man arose at
o'clock this morning and ate a
hearty breakfast Of bacon and eggs.
bread, and coffee. Then he held
his last communion, having been
converted a few days ago.
March To Scaffold.
Following that came the solemn
march to the scaffold, beside a
deputy, with the priest walking
behind.
The moose was adjusted around
Cross neck by Warden Hollowell,
and exactly at 1880 Sheriff Robb
pulled the lever releasing the trap.
Cross was pronounced dead thir.
teen minutes later.
Cross and Weeks were executed
for the death Of George Fosdick,
Des Moines grocer, whom they were
convicted Of numbering.
