TOHKEI REFUSES ill TERMS; iH GOES ON Negotiations Broken Off for Armistice—Cholera Raging Around Capital. LONDON, Nov. 16.—Ail negotiations . between Turkey and the alkan league ; have been broken off, according to a | dispatch received from Constantinople I today by a prominent member of the diplomatic corps in this eity. It gives no details, but intimates that Turkey rejected the conditions set forth by Bulgaria and her allies as the prelimi nary to the end of hostilities. 50,000 Fall at Constantinople I CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 16. — There ar< at least 10,000 eases of chol era in and around Constantinople to day. The pestilence is scourging the iirmy and the refugees who continue to tloek into the cit? from the war-rav aged -vetion north of the eity. ; Although fears of an anti-Christian ' outlireak have died out considerably j sine.- tiie Mohammedans failed to re i >| spond to tiie exhortations of tiie fanaL i ie- and priests, the governments have I taken stepe to protect foreigners by al , lotting machine guns for use around tiie ! embassies and consulates.

Fifty thousand Turks and Bulgarians have been killed or wounded in the fighting along the Ghatalja lines out side <>f Constantinople, according to advices received here today, and the battle still Is raging.

Georgia's football supremacy tyill be battled for today on Ponce DeLeon field. Tiie teams are ready to trot on the field; the coaches, resigned in the knowledge that they have done all that they know how to do, await the blast of tiie referee’s wnis- x* tie tiiat will send line a agiiins.

Five thousand throats, loyal to tiie Yellow Jacket swarm, silenced in last year's desperate struggle, are eagerly ready to rip the high heavens with their shouts of victory. Five thousand voices that a year ago < xhausted themselves as the Georgia line batt' red down the Tech defense ar- just as rilling to bo split again in tli- same cause. All Classes Ready for Fray. For it’s more than a football game that is to be fought this afternoon. Business men. who could not tell a football from a pumpkin, are preparing to hustle to Ponce DeLeon and yelp like sophomores. Prominent political per sons for the once are ready to cast aside the cloth of dignity and shout like human beings. The faif-est of Georgia, radiant in the colors of either college, have for weeks made t.h-mselves r.ailj to throw all tiie s-jiirlt into the game that will mark the work of the dlrt , crus’ted athletes who will struggle on . the grfrtfron. .~.- I Every man who had a son, a brother lor a cousin who ever wore the Yellow and White or the Red and Black, every woman who ever had a husband, a brother or a sweetheart in the battle front of either college'will have her heart In the struggle. The thousands of alumni, the hundreds of students, will all join to make the scene today one long to be remembered. Fifteen Years of Bitter Rivalry. Fifteen years of bitter football ri valry is back of the battle. Seven times Georgia has reaped the victor's laurels. Seven times Tech has tri umphed. Once the teams fought to a scoreless tie. Today will break the deadlock. The coaches each concluded their work Thursday. Each recognizes that this one game will tell whether or not his season shall be written as a suc cess. At Athens. Coach Cunningham decided not to bring his men to the stage of the affraj- until the last possi ble moment. They were given the light est sort of signal work Thursday aft ernoon. while Friday they enjoyed ab solute rest until moved to Atlanta Fri day night. This morning the entire Red and .Black student body, headed by a band, formed on the Athens cam pus and took train for Atlanta. They arrived about 10 o’clock and marched in an enthusiastic parade through Whitehall and Peachtree streets, greeted by a demonstration ac corded them by alumni and supporters. As far as physical condition is con-’ cerned, Georgia seemed primed. Tiie schedule of tile Red and Black had been wisely arranged. There were no hard battles immediately preceding tiie struggle for the state title. Walkaway Spirit Is Now Missing. But If thefi was overconfidence In their ranks it was not shown. The wonderful showing the light Tech team made In fairly outplaying Sewanee, who came so near defeating Georgia; tiie crushing defeat of Alabama by the Yellow Jackets .and Georgia’s subse quent desperate battle wltii that team, the stories of the myriad tricks and passes that Tech lias perfected have all served to lessen the walkaway spirit I with which the Athenians viewed the | Tech game several weeks ago. Though the Georgia rooters yelled lustily, th.nigh the band played blatant ly, though the colors were raised aloft defiantly, the university crowd showed plainly that they knew they were in for a battle—a battle to the death. The Tech team spent the last two days quietly and restfully. Th- mem bers were together practically all of - their waking hours and listened to lec ture after lecture by their wizard ' conch. Heisman. As usual, ho had brought his team to the Georgia game In practically perfect physical condi tion. Little Joy For Jackets. The Yellow Jackets supporters, too, had little joy In the battle.

ASHBI RN. GA., Nov. 16.—That Tan Cleghorn, missing fiancee of Miss Minnie Marchman, who lies dead while an At lanta chemist probes for poison, exerted a powerful hypnotic like influence over the girl and held her helpless under this spell, was the declaration made today by Mrs. W. J. Cochran, her eldest sister. "I’m sure Cleghorn influenced Minnie to do this to save himself.” she said significantly. Mrs. Cochran says she tried hard to break up the affair between her younger sister and the neighbor planter, but that Minnie was infatuated with Tan and ignored her plea. She says the girl seemed determined to marry Cleghorn, and appeared happy and joyful until she was taken strangely ill fol lowing her visit to Ashburn with Cleghorn the day of the sup posed marriage. Search has been begun by Cochran and authorities to find any possible love letters that may have passed between the girl and Cleghorn. These are wanted as important evidence to throw additional light on a possible motive for poisoning. Mr. and Mrs. A. I). Marchman, aged father and mother of the dead girl, say they have been unable to find any love letters, and that if any were written they were destroyed. , Cochran believes that poison was given his sister-in-law, but that its purpose was not murder. Whether murder was planned or whether the poison was intended for other purposes. Cochran today announced his purpose of having the girl’s body exhumed to find exact truth. No further move, however, is expected until the nehiilt of the analysis of the girl’s stomach in Atlanta is known. Should poison be found, rapid developments are expected. Sheriff J. A. King, of Turner county, says he is ready to insti tute vigorous search for Cleg horn the moment the analysis shows anything criminal. A cor oner's jury recommended that Cleghorn be held for investiga tion, and issuance of a formal warrant by Justice of Peace Pate will come if a crime is shown. Mystery in Time of Youth s Disappearance. The sheriff is certain Cleghorn can be arrested. So far, he has not been sought out of Turner county. If he is still here, as is believed by some, he is keeping closely hidden. Statements to The Georgian by the Marchman and Cleghorn families as to the time Cleg horn disappeared are contradictory. Cochran and his wife declare the plant er left Ashburn the Monday following the Thursday he and Miss Marchman drove here from the country home. Marion Cleghorn, a brother, asserts that Tan went away fully a month be fore the girl became ill. Cochran says the Ashburn visit was but six days be fore the girl died in convulsions. Miss Marchman, in addition to Mrs. Cochran, has a twin sister, Mrs. W. M. Conley, in Rhyne, Ga., and also three brothers. J. B. Marehman, of Amboy district, L. D. Marchman. of Sylvester, Ga.. and J. R. Marehman, of Telfair county. Dr. Funke Works Late on Tests Dr. John Funke, the expert chemist to whom the girl’s stomach was sent for examination, continued his analysis until 1 o’clock this morning and re newed hl» investigation early today. He said he was making progress, but declined to give any statement relative to what he had found in the stomach. An examination for poison requires several days of experiments, and it is not likely anything positive can be shown until Monday at the earliest. Case Shows Perils to Girls in Country By’EVELYN WREN. Minnie Marchman taught a lesson with her last breath. It wasn’t a pret ty lesson and Minnie .Marchman prob ably did not know that in the valley of the shadow she had been transformed from a simple little country girl, with more dimples than mind, to a teacher of some great and awful truths.
