either house. Ailshie leads with 2"> votes to 23 for Bradv

vided their votes between Nugent and Dubois.
All that remains in connection with the election of
Senator Borah is for the two houses to meet in joint ses
sion at noon tomorrow and canvass the result of the ballot!
today. No further ballot is required by law but it has
been the custom in Idaho to call the roll in joint ballot.
notwithstanding the returns show an election and an
other ballot is usually taken. Whether this will he done
tomorrow cannot lie stated, but it is not neeessarv 1n do so.
There were not many surprises in the vote on the short
term although each of the candidates, as is natural in such
cases, lost some votes that had been counted on. When
the result was announced mi the election of Borah there
was considerable applause, hut the announcement of the
result on the short term senator, there being no choice,
was accepted without demonstration.

Chicago, Jan. 14.—Tin- first informa- |
tion regarding Jack Johnson's flight
from the city was given by the pub- j
lication in a local newspaper of a tele- |
superintendent of the department of!
justice at Chicago, on the telephone !
and explained that lie had no thought

the negro. Shortly after his arrest, :
Johnson called up Charles S. De Woody, j
tempting to forfeit the $30,000 bond,
Johnson was indicted for violating
the white slave act, and also
smuggling jewelry. The white slave
act offense is not extraditable.
I An application was made to Federal
Judge Carpenter for a bench warrant
for Johnson's arrest as a fugitive*. The
! court r eclined to issue the warrant
when Attorney Bachraeh, who appeared
thejfor Johnson, said he would produce his
! client in court tomorrow morning,

the time limitation renders a choice

elimination of some of those now men- !
tinned for the senatorship and t lie vol- !
untary withdrawal of others from the j
contest. At present nearly a dozen
names are mentioned in connection
with the honor. Those most frequently
mentioned are Joe T. Hobinson, who*
has just taken office as governor, j
George W. Donaghoy, who has just re-1
lired from the governorship, several of

PEACE EFFORTS PROVE
FAILURE AND WAR IS
TO BEJESUMED
Allies Prepare to Leave London and
Annies Will Be Notified to
Call Oil Armistice
I London, Jan. 14.- -The decision definitely to break up
! the peace conference in London simultaneously with the
presentation to the Turkish government of the note of the
European powers lias been reached by the chiefs of the
peace delegates of Balkan allies. The resolution of the
representatives of Bulgaria, Greece, Montenegro and Ser
i via on one side and Turkey on the other will be communi
I rated to the Porte in a formal notice.
At the same time it has been decided to instruct the
commanders of tin* armed forces of the allies in the held
to terminate the armistice which has been in effect since
Dec. 3. Since that date light ing between Bulgaria, Servia
; and Turkey has entirely ceased. Greece, which did not
sign the armistice lias continued fighting both on land and
jsea. Montenegro, which was nominally a party to the
i armistice has been engaged in many skirmishes.
The 'Turks at Scutari arc believed to be well provided
with food and ammunition. .Janina was the rallying
point for the Turkish troops who escaped from Monastir
I and other plaees in Macedonia and Albania. The Greeks
have closed all approaches from the south but to the north
and west communications are still open.
Conflicting reports as to conditions in the great fort
ress of Adrianople are current, but it appears evident that
jibe troops and inhabitants are suffering greatly from dis
ease and are short of rations. They have been besieged
Mime October by Bulgarians and Servians. Before the
Tchatalja lines is a great army of Bulgarians who were
recently reinforced by Servians. Strongly entrenched
fronting them, are large bodies of Turkish troops.
The threatening note of the allies is worded in such a
way that it will become effective only in the event of Tur
key refusing compliance with the advice given to it by the
ambassadors of the European powers.

London. Jan. 14.—The latest ftdvtres
received by the Turkish delegates show
that the Ottoman grand council has
not met at Constantinople and that it
probably will not meet. The Turkish
envoys understand that Klamll Pasha,
grand vizier, will in all probability re
sign should the situation develop in
such a way that the grand council will
be called together Authorities on the
situation in London express the opin
ion that Turkey will reject the ad

batteries have been placed in position
before Adrianople.
General Boyovltch, Servian hero of
Monastir, asserts that within two days
Adrianople can now be captured. Al
though the mobilization of the Rus
sian and Italian armies is denied, there
is no doubt that Austria-Hungary
still maintains her armaments, with
the object of enforcing their claims in
the Balkans, especially In Albania.
