LONDON, Jan. 7. Thero is practi
cally no disposition in London . to
doubt that as soon as the delegates
of the Balkan allies have celebrated
their orthodox Christmas holiday, the

Thero is a deep-seated reluctance
among all parties against re-opening
hostilities although threats of such an
eventuality aro still uttered.
The powers are occupied in offering
friendly advices to the antagonists.
In case this proves insufficient, the
ambassadors aro seeking the best

FLINN TAKES UP DIRECT NOM
INATION OF SENATORS
AS WEAPON
HARRISBURG, Pa., Jan. 7. The
Progressive warfare against Senator
Penrose promises to enliven the pro
ceedings of the Pennsylvania legisla
ture, which convened today. No stone
willbe left unturned by Willian Flinn,
leader of the Progressives, to secure
the passage of measures providing for
the direct nomination of United States
senators, so that he will havo the
means in hand to defeat Senator Pen
rose when the latter seeks re-election
in 1915.
The legislative program is one ol
the heaviest that has faced the Penn
sylvania lawmakers in years. Bills
havo been prepared by tho several
political parties or by commissions
created by the legislature, providing,
among other things, for the follow
ing"; A public service commission
for the regulation and control of all
public service corporations; prohib-
tion of the sale of fraudulent stock;
regulation of the hours of labor for
women and children; employers' lia-
nue, election and anthracite mine
laws; woman suffrage; a constitution
al convention; regulation of campaign
contributions, and revision of laws re
lating to public charities.

PENROSE
SUPERIOR COURT
In the Superior Court, late yester
day afternoon, the felony case of 'the
State vs. Fertig was concluded, and
the charge was given to the jury com
posed of A. Q. Simmons, Oliver Quick,
T. Slocum, W. A. Lawler, Paul Hobby,
Jesse Pace, J. P. Corey, Frank Ricks,
R. E. Athey, H. A. Bell, C. Allison and
J. W. Edwards.
the jury, in quick order. The first was
9 for conviction to 3 against; the sec
ond, 10 for and 2 against; the third
11 to 1, and the fourth resulted In
the verdict as above stated.
From the evidence of the state's wit
nesses, particularly that of the prose
cuting witness, Miss Mariana Ramir
ez, who stood the fire of vigorous ex
amination and cross-examination and
re-iterated over and over again that
nothing of a criminal nature had hap
pened between herself and the defend
ant, the weight of opinion in the court
room was that an acquittal would re
sult, for it seemed beyond a reason
able doubt that the State had failed
to prove the charge'
The jury, unquestionably moved by
sentiment, after the tearful address of
District Attorney Ingraham, in which
he pointed to the defendant as the per
petrator of a diabolical crime, were
not long in returning with a verdict
of guilty. Four votes were taken by
The case was a peculiar one, in
which circumstances and the efforts
of the courthouse officials were all
strained to the utmost against the de
fendant, while in his favor was the
testimony of tho prosecuting witnesses
on which the State most relied for a
conviction.
Of the principals in the case, no
word has ever been uttered against
the character of either. Both are of
good families, and the future of two
.s in the. balance. The Examiner
firmly believes that the present case
will bear tho most thoughtful consid
eration. The young man is a linotype ma-jhinist-operator
and has been employ
ed constantly at The Examiner print
ing office for a year past. His habits
have, during that time, been "most
commendable and his character has
lever been questioned until the pres
ent instance.
The consideration of the motion for
a new trial will take place tomorrow
-orning before Judge Frank Baxter.

ADOPTION OF PARCELS POST OP
ENS A WIDE FIELD FOR LIGHT
AUTOS COLLECTING
After experimenting for nearly ten
years in the use of motor collecting
and distribution of mail, the United
States government admits at last, that
in certain localities, where collection
stops are few and far between, a mo
tor car. is far more efficient than a
horse and wagon. In such cases it has
decided to allow the carrier to buy a
motor car, for which he will be allow,
ed a sum more than ample for mainte
nance and repairs.
One of the first cities in which this
innovation has-been placed in service
is Pittsburg. Several Studebaker "20"
delivery wagons are already in satis
factory service there. Other cities are
being added to the approved list and
prospects Indicate '.that, before the
passing of many months, not only the
suburban, but the rural routes as well,
will be equipped with the motors.
The addition of the parcels post will
also greatly multiply the number of
motor care with the sign. "XL S. Mail"
on their panels. Delivery and. collec
tion of the parcels will be by motor
cars in all the big cities, the govern
ment making contracts for the ser
vice. Figures on the cost of motor de
livery have been asked at virtually ev
ery center, according to the Studebak
er branch managers, who were recent
ly in conference at Detroit, the pecul
iar adaptability of the Studebaker to
this class of service, being universal
knowledge.
To a great extent, according to de
livery experts, the work of mail col
lection and delivery must be done by
light wagons, capable of making al
most touring car speed on a small
consumption of gasoline and oil. An
other requisite is ample cooling capao
ity, for the car must be able to stanu
at the curb with motors running, for
periods of varying length.
A limited number of larger trucks
may be profitably used -betwee'n the
postal sub-stations, but the main part
of the work will have to be done by
the smaller rigs.
It is typical of the government's
conservatism, that in both the general
work and. the. parcels post,' the gov
ernment continues its policyof non
ownership of vehicles.
Experts have commented on the in
telligent way in which most of the
prospective contractors for govern
ment jobs have been attacking- the de
livery problem. Statistics of the mo
tor delivery system already m opera
tion are eagerly welcomed and there is
a general disposition to question care
fully the adequacy of local or -neigh
boring depots of supplies and repair
parts.
PIKE'S PEAK, NOT THE HIGHEST
What is the highest mountain iu
Colorado? "Piko's Peak," nineteen
persons out of twenty will answer,
and incorrectly. The twentieth rr '
know that the two highest mountains
in the state are Mount Massive an I
Mount Elbert, both in Lake countv in
the Leadville district. The altit :ile
of each of these mountains, accord
ing to the United States Geological
Survey, is. 14,402 feet above sea level.
The height of Pike's Peak is 14.10S
feet. Moreover, there are fifty or sixty
other peaks in Colorado approximate
ly as high over 14,000 feet. The low
est point in Colorado is 3,350 feet
above sea level. Of all the state, Col
orado has the highest average alti
tude, estimated by the Geological Sur
vey at 6,800 feet.
Although not tho highest mountain,
Pike's Peak is probably the best-
known peak in the United States.
There was at one time a weather
bureau station on its summit, and it
now has a substantial railway sta
tion at the terminus of the highest
railway line in the United States, or
North America for that matter. It can
also be reached by an excellent wagon
road and trail which connect the sum
mit with Colorado Springs.
