THETHE DAIL MISSOEULIA Tomorrow-Local snows. .S- worth considering. VOL. XXXIX. NO. 252. MISSOULA, MONTANA, SUNDAY MORNING, JANUARY 12, 1913. PRICE FIVE CENTS DOVE OF PEACE FLUTTERS FEEBLY INDICATIONS POINT TO FAILURE OF CONFERENCE TO ACCOM PLISH ANYTHING. PR TAKE A HAND European Countries Will Send Note to Turkey That It Would Be a Fine Idea to Give Up Adrianople--Mussel mans Are Firm and Say They Abso lutely Refuse to Cede It. Imndon, Jan. 11.-D-iplomacy still is busy seeking a solution for the Balkan deadlock. Pears that the peace con feronce will end in failure and that the allies will take up arms again, are stronger tonight than at any time since the plenipotentiaries came to London. Unless Adrianople should fall within two or three days, which none of the diplomats can foresee, it appears prob-' able that the delegates will leave Eng land before the end of another week. A note from the powers will be pre sented to the.Ottoman government on Monday. It is firm in tone and while recommending Turkey to leave the question of the Aegean islands in the hands of the powers, makes it clear that Turkey has no alternative except to cede Adrianople. Another note was prepared by the ambassadors at Constantinople, but will be superseded by the collective communication decided upon at Fri day's meeting between Sir Edward Grey, British secretary of state for for eign affairs, and the ambassadors. Since it is necessary to telegraph the text of this note to the continental capitals for approval, it cannot be de livered before Monday. All the ambassadors today hhd sep arate informal meetings with Rechad Pasha and Osman Nazim Pasha, the Turkish delegates, trying, as one of the ambassadors put it, "to square the cir cle" and to discover a middle course between Turkey, which insists upon keeping Adrianople, and Bulgaria, which insists she must have that town. Nothing Doing. The Turkish delegates were iimnov able, and said: "Nothing can ind(luce us to commnit suicide. It is impossible to change our mipls concerning the possession of Adrianople, for which we have made sacrifices which no other country has made. The sentiimental and religious value attached by Mus sulmnans to Adlrianltle can bo calltculated by our renunciation of four-fifths of our European territory, only because we wished to keep the Holy City. "If the war is resuinmed the allies may find they have miscal culated their forces and minimiiized those of Islam." The position of the powers is diffi cult because their declarations are in valid unless made by unanimous con sent. The note practically amounts to nothing mnore than ad\vice. The Turkish delegation openly de clares it knows the porteo will not he moved by the powers' note and will answer with stronger refusals than heretofore. The feeling in iSofia favors the re call of delegates, but some are inclined to remain a few days awaiting the ef feet of the powers' note. Roumania Balked. IRoumanian demllands continue to be the uppermost topic of interest. M. Jonescu, the Iliulnaniatn Iminister of the interior, whose wife is English, has learned that public opinion is against Roumania and that that coun try's action is regarded in the nature of blackmail, which, if persisted in, must mean war with Bulgaria in the near future. A Sofia dispatch says that Rou mania has receivedl energetic retire sentations from Great Britain and Russia, which has deceidd her inoit toii cross thile border as she was plrepared to do. YOUNG LOCHINVAR LOSES HIS BRIDE Allentown, Pa., Jan. 11.-An alleged attempt at kidnaping late today ended when a taxicab in which a youngI woman was being whirled away by two men crashed into the soldiers' anonu ment here and led to the arrest of the alleged abductors. The girl is :Miss Anna E. Strekel, 23 years old, daughter of a prominent citizen, and a prospective heiress to a quarter of a million dollars. The men who are charged with the alleged abduction are Samuel Sinclair, a state 'highway supervisor, and his friend, R. Walter Starr, a student in a nearby universlty. The two me.n were committed to jail toniglit in de fault of $3,000 ball. MIiss Strekel said she had rejected repeatedly the attentions of Sinclair, but that he persisted in his efforts. Returning from shopping today, she noticed a taxicab standing near the front of her home in the fashitonable residential section. As she was JUDGE'S F ATE TO BE KNOWIN MO NDAY SENATE TAKES STEPS TO VOTE ON CHARGES AGAINST JUDGE ARCHBALD TOMORROW. PENALTY IS DISCUSSED If Jurist Is Convicted on Any One Ar ticle of Impeachment, Effort Will Be Made to Modify Punishment So That Removal From Office Will Be the Only Sentence. Washington, Jan. l.--The senate agreed today to begin at 1 o'clock Monday the voting upon the articles of impeachment against Robert W. Archbald, judge of the United States commerce court, charged with mis demeanors and the misuse of his ju dicial influence. No debate by mem bers of the senate will be permitted during the voting, but under a resolu tion offered by Senator Root and adopted a senator will have an oppor tunity to make a brief explanation of his vote in writing, to be printed as part of the senate proceedings in the case. Arrangements for the final steps in the case against Judge Archbald were made in a secret session of the senate. The question of whether a judge could he impeached for offenses that did not make him subject to indictment under the law was raised biy Senator McCumber of North Dakota, but was Withdrawn without a formal vote hav ing been taken. The legality of impeachment pro. ceedings based on acts committed by Judge Archibald before he became a member of the commerce court was also brought into question by Senator Clarke of Arkansas, but was not threshed out in the senate. The Voting Plan. When the Impeachment court re convenes at 1 o'clock Monday, the first article of impeachment will he put to a vote without further delay. Senator Root today offered a motion to give the question of "guilty or not guilty" submitted individually to each senator on each of the 13 articles of impeach ment. This was modified at the sug gestion of Senator C(larke of Arkansas and the individual question to each senator, followed in the case of the inmpeachmient of President Andrew Johnson, will give way to a general submission (of each article, to be fol lowed by a roll call vote onii each. To Modify Penalty. It is expected tmlut in case Judge Archbald should be found guilty by a two-thirds' vote on any article of impeachment, a resolution will be of fered by some senaltor proposing that the penalty shall be limnited to his re moval from office, and shall not bar him in the futuire from holding office. This proliposal was not made in the se cret session todaly, but will lie pro plosed if the airnsed jurist should he c'onvic'ted. I,:liding members of the senate expressed doubt today as to success of the Ipropored plan to modify the penalty. The first article of impeachment upon which a vote will he taken al leges that Judge Archbald tried to in. fluence officials of the Eri' railroad, which had suits pending in his court, to grant him a favorable option ilion a. refuse coal dumli ownied by it sub. sidiary of the railrond. A BAS LOAN SHARKS. WVashington, Jan. 1 1.-The confer ence report on the long-p ending hill regulat.ing the lending of money in the District of Columbia, known as the "loan shark bill." was adopted by the senate today without discussion. The bill makes it a misdemeanor to charge more than 12 per cent per annum. Senator Curtis gave instances of charges amounting to 372 per cent. It is believed the house will accept the report. about to enter the lhouse, Miss Stre.kel said, she was seized Iby the twov men whoml she recogn~ized as Sinclair and Starr and was forced into the cab, de spite her strunggie and cries. The taxicab driver said he had been engaged by the two men "for a "wed ding." When the girl was forcibly thrust into the cab he said 'he sus pected something was wrong, and when given the order to drive "fast into the country" he determined to take the party to the police station. He drove, into Allentown's main street at great speed, but in approaching monument square, was unable to turn his machine quickly enough and crashed into the monument. A policeman heard the cries of the girl and took the party to the. police station. After the girl told her story she was taken home. Sinclair said that the girl loved him and that they were to have been married in spite of the father's 9b jections but she 'went back on him."l WILSON'S JEFFERSONIAN SIMPLICITY L So W~ ReZ oy A T+k Yoint6TV O* TvtE-VooAAK!
