OK FIFTH STREET Board Trades "Mount Venion "for Home of Dr. Hugh M. Taylor. MUST BE RATIFIED BY ASSOCIATION Property Transfer, When For? mally Approved, Will Enable Building Committee to Award Contract So That Construc? tion May Begin Not Later Than November i. n became known yesterday alter a meeting o: the board or director* that the Young Women's Christian Asso? ciation has virtually closed a deal whereby the property owned by the association on the southwest corner ot Franklin end Third Streets is to be trsded (or the lot at ? North FlXth Street, now owned by Hush M. Taylor. Xf this transaction is carried through, as appears certain, the new home of the Young Woman's Christian Asso? ciation, for which a building fund was tubscrlbed lest year, wiil be erected on Fifth Street Instead of Franklin. Berore the transfer can take place, a meeting of the association as a whole must be held to ratify the action of the board, and such a meeting has been ? ailed for October 22. The board was unanimous in spproving the building committees decision that the Fifth Street property is a much more desir? able site for the new building than that now occupied by the Mount Ver con. Dr. Taylor'a lot. measuring eighty feet on Fifth Street with a depth of 110 feet. Is better suited to the require? ments than the Franklin Street loca? tion, which has a frontage on Franklin of only fifty-two feet and a depth of 150 feet. In the exchange. Dr. Taylor will pay the association a bonus of 92. 000. May Bsgls Work November L. As the ratlfcation of this deal by the association la assured, the build? ing committee is making preparations to begin censtruction work about No? vember 1. Before that time. Nolan A Baskerrille, architects, must modify the tnntstlve plans for the building that was to have been erected at Tblrd and Franklin 8treets. The architects ran round out their plans In detail, while the contractor who buys the present house on the Fifth Street aito Is demolishing it. Dr. Taylor's old residence is unoccupied, and tbo asso? ciation ean take possession the minute the papers making the transfer legal are Signed. There hsa been rome dissatisfaction with the Mount Vernon looation as a home for the Toung Women's Christian Association for more than one reason, and the building committee began to look around for more suitable property rs soon as It developed that possession could not be obtained for a year. The present occupant of the house has a lease which will not expire until the rail of 1913. and the association did not feel financially able to buy the lease, SSda if this could have been arranged. Feemd Hagar Bel* tie*. From the very'nature of the pur? pose for yhich the structure was des? tined, the building committee felt It? self limited to the area between Broad and Casg Streets and Adams *nd Sixth Street in the search tor a site. Finally it was learned that Dr. Taylor's home was on the market and consultation between the committee and the architects and the owner re salted In a tentative agreement to trade. Messrs. Nolan and Baskervllle were confident that a ver;.- fine build? ing, for probably less money, could l>e erected on Fifth Street, and the < omralttee promptly called a meeting of the directors. When the plan was laid before the directors yesterday afternoon at the meeting In the chapel of the Presby? terian Publishing House, it received prompt approval. It was first thought that the proper alley exits could not be obtained for the Fifth Street build? ing, but it was found upon examina? tion that a right of way for an alley opening on Fourth Street could ho had. There ia already a blind alley On the northern line of the property. There seems no doubt that the neces? sary ratification from the association will be forthcoming. ' SUadj Owe Tear bfewee. While tha plans of the association were so unsettled It waa of course v? possible t* award the contract, but the committee has been making In rentlgatloas and will he able to r# easasj bids and make the award with? in a few weeks after the transfer is made. If work is begun oa tk* ui d mg November 1. It should be ready for occupation by the fail of ISIS. Un? til the architects complete the modi fed plans, the exact cost of the new home can not be known.

I which la peeking tor peace, ha* made I some progreas toward a solution of to* i crisis. The arrival of the news that I the power?? bad reached a complete ; agreement and that the Balkan state* ; had modified their demands was, how 1 ever, simultaneous with further reports I of fighting on the frontiers. The persistent reports that Turkey and Italy had arranged peace are be? lieved to have had some influence on the Servian, Bulgarian, Montenegrin and Greek allies, who. it is assumed, will not be so anxious to tackle Tur? key when she Is free from the embar? rassment of a war with a great power. : In this connection, it is now announced I by the Bulgarian legation here that j Bulgaria* demand Is tor Macedonian [ autonomy under the surveillance of the ! powers, similar to that existing in Crete, j The original demand was for complete ! autonomy for all the Turkish provinces i in Europe. Turkey., on the other hand. ; has become less docile. With her hands i virtually free from the Italian war 'and her people united in patriotic fer 1 vor to defend their fatherland, she > appears bent on settling the Balkan , question one* for ?11 by means of war. J ThJ* ?xpjain* th* frewnauoy of the J visits of the Turkish ambassador to the British Foreign Office, where he i was summoned yesterday and again 1 to-day and had long conferences with ?Sir Edward Orey. the British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. The Ottoman government also has | j taken further warlike steps, such as j j the suspension of railway communica? tion with Servia and the concentre I don of troops on the frontier. It has | instituted a censorship on telegrams, official and otherwise The arm es of the Balkan States, es? pecially those out of reach of the capitals, sre proceeding to their al loted Laaea. and it was reported this ' afternoon that a Bulgarian detachment ! had been seen at a po'nt north of | Adrianople. where it might at any mo- i 'ment com* into touch with part of the j j Turkish army. I Wire* Reticent. The wire* from the Near Eastern, capitals to-night were somewhat oml- { noualy reticent or altogether silent. A brief dlapatch announcing that rail- ] way traffic had been stopped between \ ; Constantinople snd Mustappa Pasha and Dodgeaghatach and confirmation, of the news that Bulgarians had crossed j i the Turkish fryntier was practically all the Information of a military nature1 ! received in London to-day. and shows ! that the telegraphic censorship is ?c i tire. On* hopeful sign, however, is the ! fact that diplomat! - relations remain j unbroken, and apparently no ultimatum i has been delivered or a declsratJon of war made. Therefore diplomacy still ' has time la act in the interests of ' peace. i At present the Fluropean negotiations j looking to peace arc centred in Paris, i but It still seems to be undecided ! whether action in this direction shall j he taken by a concert of the European i powers as a whole or by Austria and I Russia as the representatives of Eu : rope. It !s believed difficulty Is being found In reconciling the views >f tho situation held by Austria and Russia. ; and although * more nopefi! opinion 1 of averting war prevailed to-day. it j is thought that unless the powers art promptly It may be t?" late to prevent ' an explosion j There- is a strong feeling 1n f instsn Itinople that Tnrkey should BBSS an ul? timatum of h-r own. instead of walt . log for fervia.

ITHEIR RECORDS HELD UP TO LIGHT Democratic Candidate Declares Party Now Is Out of Bondage and Prepared to Remedy Public Ills?Everywhere He Goes Great Crowds Greet Him. I Chicago, October 4.?Six aet speeches 1 were made by Governor Wilson to-day ! between Indianapolis and Chicago. In i which he attacked his opponents, point | ed out the evils of courts and the tariff j as he viewed them, re-viewed labor con ; ditions and declared that the Democra? tic party is out of bondage and pre? pared to remedy public ills. It was a strenuous day for the Dem? ocratic presidential candidate, and ax* I ter two hours here with Secretary j Joseph E. Davies. of the national com? mittee, and others, he left for Omaha and Lincoln, Neb. At tbe latter place he will meet William J. Bryan to? morrow. Crowds Everywhere. Crowds greeted tbe Governor every? where. As most of the meetings were held out of doors, the nominee had to strain bis voice to reach the outer fringe of the mass of people wbo i spread out on all sides of improvised platforms. At Kokomo, Ind., be crltl clced Mr. Taft and Mr. Roosevelt along the lines he followed in his Indianapolis speech of the preceding night, saying they had 'presided over the very pro i cesses that had got the country^ into trouble. "No man in the United States waa never more trusted than tbe leader of the third party during the seven and a half years that he was President." Mr. Wilson said. "It is possible tbst he has just discovered the deep needs of humanity. It is possible that he now. for the first time, sees that he was led seven and a half yearn durinc which he could have led tbe American people to any triumph or reform to which he had chosen to lead them? When T look at these two parties I look at the top of them, and I don't see any more pros? pect in the one direction than in the other."* j At Plymouth. Ind., the Governor said: "I have been much interested as I have traveled about, particularly In this State, to notice certain posters everywhere with a handsome picture I of Mr. Taft in the middle, and there j on tbe other side a discourse about i the high cost of living, with the In ! teresting and measurably true state j ment that the cost of living has ln i creased everywhere In the world, it [ has. But the Interesting circumstance 1 is that it had Increased much faster in tbe United States than anywhere ; else, and that in most low tariff coun l trlea it has hardly increased at ail." Hears They Are Free Agents. ' When I was told that I was going ! to speak at Gary.

October 4 ?Governor ' Wilson talked about labor conditions here this afternoon, arguing that the Democratic party alone had supported and aimed to assist organized labor.
