BALKAN LEAGUE OPENS PEACE NEGOTIATIONS! Fearful Havoc Wrought by the- Bulgarian Batteries Among | Turkish Troops. CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 19.- An eight-hour armistice to allow the Turks and the Bulgarians assailing the Turk ish lines to bury their dead went into effect at noon today. All artillery fire ceased at that hour. A dispatch from Sofia says the first step toward a suspension of hostilities was taken by the Balkan league today. Premier Guechoff, acting for the Bul garian government, informed the Turk ish government that Bulgaria has ap pointed plenipotentiaries to represent the government in negotiations for an armistice, preparatory to the opening of a peace party. It is indicated that the same Bulgarian envoys treating with Turkey in the armistice negotiations will negotiate final peace terms for the Bulgarian government. Bulgar Batteries Raise Havoc in Turk Ranks. With the Turks apparently holding their own, the third day’s fighting in the final battle which will decide the fate of the Ottoman empire was ush ered in at dawn with a furious can nonade which began in the center and gradually spread over the entire Cha talja fines of defense. News has been received here that 50.000 soldiers of Crown Prince Alex ander’s Servian army, which Captured Monastic, will start for Constantinople immediately and join the attack upon the Chat al ja lines. Bulgarian batteries have done fright- ■ ful havoc among the Turkish soldiers. { as is shown by the constant stream of I wounded carried into this city from tlie ; front. Many of the wounded died en route 1 to tills city and were cast into burial j trenches on the way. All residents of the city, including j foreigners and refugees and the ma- j rines and bluejackets from the foreign ’ warships, are now exposed to cholera , from the public water supply. Lake j Derkos, from which the drinking | water supply is drawn, has become contaminated, and the Internationa! health board has forbidden its use. Wounded soldiers from the front to day gave a graphic account of the fighting Sunday and Monday. Turks Stand Firm; Bulgars Repulsed. The Bulgarian batteries opened their terrific attack at daybreak Sunday. General Savoff. the Bulgarian com mander-in-chief, had massed a heavy body of infantry opposite the Turkish left flank at the Lake of Biyuk Chek meji during the preceding night, and as the sun rose these soldiers marched for ward in battle formation under the fire of their artilhery. The attempt to turn the Turkish western wing was foiled by artillery. Ah soon as the advance began, a Turkish cruiser lying in Biyuk Chektnejl and all tlie western Turkish batteries opened a cannonade against the Bulgars, driving them back. At the same time the Bulgars began a fierce bombardment of the Turkish cen ter at Chatalja, where the Orient rail way line bends northeast and then southwest to avoid mountainous routes upon which tlie Turks have forts. On either side from the forks are redoubts with heavy guns mounted. Behind tlie forts the Turkish infantry guarding the center was concentrated. The Bulgars had the range of the Turkish camp, and shells continually burst above the troops, which caused great uneasiness among the reserves. At 3 o’clock Sunday afternoon Bul garians began an assault on the Turk ish works at Chatalja. moving slowly across the wide valley with fixed bayo nets, under a. murderous fire. The Bul gars acted bravely, but could not with stand tlie hail of steel which fell among them, and they were driven back, leav ing many dead and dying on the field. As the Bulgarians withdrew, a huge column of smoke rose above the vil lage of Izzedin in the valley. It had been set on fire by shells and \vas con sumed. At dusk the Turkish cruiser Hanii dires crept close into the shore at Kali kralia and began shelling the Bulga rian camp, a mile inland. According to the general accounts, Continued on Page Two.

ATLANTA PHONE IS RESUMED C. Jerome Simmons Files Ap peal to Escape Payment of $139,921 Alleged Notes. The struggle so the ownership of the Atlanta Telephone Company was resmued again today when C. Jerome Simmons tiled an appeal from the de cision on the bill of complaint recently passed upon by Judge M T. Newman. Tlie appeal was directed to the United States circuit court of appeals for the Northern district of Georgia. Epon it hinges the payment of $139,921.67 which Simmons is said to owe the Stromberg- Carlson Telephone Company. The battle for supremacy in the man agement of the telephone company be gan almost a year ago, when Simmons filed a suit and petition for injunction in the superior court of Fulton county seeking to restrain certaiq men whom he claimed to be representatives of the Stromberg-Carlson Company from vot ing stock which he had given as collat eral for notes. The case finally was tried by a supe rior court judge and Simmons lost. The Stromberg-Carlson Company sued Sim mons for the amount of the notes he had given for loans while acting as manager of the local telephone com pany and again he lost. The Stromberg-Carlson people are now in absolute charge of the telephone company and Simmons no longer has anything to do with its management. “Just Live a Natural Life To Be Pretty.” Is Advice Given by Mrs. Gertrude Kelley. "The secret of feminine loveliness js not in any system of fads and frills. To keep her youth and beauty a woman should live a natural life, an old fashlAied, wholesome sort of existence without too much work, without too much worry and without too much con cern of herself. Keeping attractive is no mystery.” This is the beauty philosophy of Mrs. Gertrude V. Kelley, of ill West Har ris street, who was one of the six prize. winners in the gigantic beauty con test recently conducted by The New York American, in which thousands of charming women from every section of the United States competed. On Sunday The New fork American announced the winners. The first prize, a month's engagement at the Winter Garden at a salary of $250, went to a young woman of Bairdstown, N. J. Five SIOO medals were awarded, and Airs. Kelley, who had entered tlie contest in August from Savannah, was awarded one of them. Mother of Two Children. It is to her calm philosophy of life that Mrs. Kelley ascribes the charm that has made her —tlie mother of two children—a national beauty in a con test with thousands. “I have no system," she said, sim ply; "1 don’t believe in fads or the Lina Cavalierl kind of secrets of beauty. A woman will keep her freshness and her charm as long as she may by living a natural life. Now, I don’t mean by that living in the manner the faddist calls natural, but the sensible way people have been living for hundreds of years, without a great deal of worry anil thought of themselves.” Mrs. Kelley is confident that women worry too much; that more feminine loveliness lost through fretting and fuming over trifles than in any other way. She sees real beauty in tran quillity. in a quiet demeanor that is not ruffled or broken by every little human mishap. Perfect Southern Type. "I think that 1 owe my prize to the lovely photograph as much as to any thing. I had it taken in Savannah last spring and my friends thought it ex tremely artistic. In fact, I sent it to The American because one of my friends urged me to. I had no idea of getting a prize.” Mrs. Kelley is distinctly Southern in typ“. At least she is the Action writer's idea of the typical Southern woman—a woman almost Junoesque, with a mass of dark, wavy hair wound over a high, white forehead. Her face is oval, with the features regular and well molded, save for a Hint of retrousse in the nose, a reminder of Irish ancestry. Her eyes are largo and set wide apart, dark under dark lashes. Her complexion is soft and almost t’allfornlan in its col oring. The American's contest was open to all women over eighteen years of age, the only bar being stage experience. The preliminary Judges were artists, Penryn Stanislaus and Harrison Fisher. In making tlie final awards Sam Ber nard, the comedian; Ned Weyburn. Winter Garden stage director; J. C, Huffman, general stage director for the Shuberts, and William J. Wilson, a Shubert stage director, were called in. Inasmuch as the prize winner was to appear at the Winter Garden for a month it was deemed avlsable to have the judgment of men familiar with stage types. "Os course, I would have liked to have won the first prize," said Mrs. Kel ley. "but I don’t know how I would have fared on the stage at the Winter Garden." HOME IDITION 2 CENTS EVERYWHERE 4 GUNMEN MUSTDIE; JURYSAYS GUILTY Gangsters Convicted as Actual Slayers of Rosenthal After One Hour’s Deliberation. z VERDICT HARD BLOW TO BECKER’S APPEAL Convicted Policeman Hoped for Acquittal of Quartet to Aid His Fight. / NEW YORK, Nov. 19.—The sou» young gunmen charged with the assas sination of Herman Rosenthal on the> morning of July 16 last were found guilty of murder in the first degree by a. jury in the criminal branch of the su preme court this afternoon. The jury was out just one hour, hav ing retired at 1:35 o'clock and returning at 2:35 At 2:25 o’clock the jury notified the court tha.t it had reached a vendict, but Justice Goff could not be found at once. The defendants —Harry Horowitz, alias “Gyp the Blood;” Louis Rosen berg, alias “Dago Frank,” and Ciro fld, alias “Dago Prank,” and Frank Muller, alias ‘Whitey I^ewis"—were taken in the court room from the Tombs. Their faces showed that they realized that the jury's quick decision boded them ill. Those who heard the justice’s charge expected a severe verdict. Although maintaining strict legal impartiality, he brought out facts from the testimony which were damaging to the defense. The verdict against the gunmen was a severe blow to the case of ex-Poilce Lieutenant Charles Becker. whose hopes of a new trial were based on a. possible acquittal of the gunmen. Becker was alleged to have hired the gunmen, through Jack Rose, the state’s chief witness, to put Rosenthal, the “squealing gambler,” out of the way The verdict against the quartet of gun. men carries with it a penalty of death in the electric chair. Attorney Wahle, counsel for the young gangsters, said after the verdict that he would continue to fight the case and attempt to get a new trial. Justice GofT announced that the four gunmen would be sentenced tomorrow at 10:30 o’clock. At 2:20 o’clock a squad of policemen were summoned to the criminal courts building while the jury was deliberat ing. When Police Captain ’[iemey was asked the reason, he said: “You remember what happened in the court room at Hillsville, VA.” Following a charge from the court which was construed as unfavorable to the defendants, the case of the foui young gunmen went to the jury at 1:35 o’clock this afternoon. Attorney Wahle, for the defense, took exceptions to all refusals of Justice Goff to ulrge his points on the Jury and asked to have part of the charge Strick, en out. The only defendant the charge seemed to favor in any way was “Dage Frank.” As soon as Justice Goff entered the court this morning the doors were at once closed and bolted and all entranct or exit forbidden until he concluded. Attorney Wahle submitted 67 “re quests to charge” to the court. The principal contention in this list was that If there should be reasonable doubt in the minds of the Jurors as to the presence of “Dago Frank” at the seen, of the shooting all the defendants should be acquitted. - - > FOUR-MILLION-DILLAR BABY DIES OF POISON LITTLE ROCK, Nov. 19.—Philip Wil liam Doupree, eight-months old son ot the late Philip William Deupree, of Kan sas City, died twenty minutes after car bolic acid was given him. it is said, by his nurse, Mrs. J.
