ME MEET BPEHSWim CUSH OF ams Turks Start Proceedings by De manding Greek Delegates Be I Barred From Conference. WILL NOT SIT WITH THEM WHILE WAR CONTINUES Session Comes to End Without Progress—Allies Renew Their Pledge to Stand Together. LONDON, Dec. 17.—A serious dead lock developed at the very beginning of the negotiations in the Turko-Baikan peace conference today when the Turk sh delegates served positive notice that the Greeks would have to withdraw from the deliberations because “Greece | was still at war with Turkey.” After a three hours session in the art gallery of the St. James palace, the conference adjourned without anything having been accomplished. Although the meeting was adjourned until tomorrow, it is understood that there will not be another session until Thursday. The Turkish envoys were in deep conversation among themselves as they left the palace, and it was rumored that a hitch had occurred which made it necessary for the delegates to commu nicate with their home governments be fore assembling again. No Demand Made To Give Up Adrianople. Dr. S. Daneff, head of the Bulgarian > representatives, said that the allies de- i mand that Turkey surrender Adrianople ' had not been presented. "Only general matters in reference to the peace protocol were discussed.” said Dr. Daneff. Immediately after the meeting was called to order, Osman Mizami Pasha, chief of the Turkish envoys, entered a protest against the presence of Pre mier Venizelos, of Greece, and the other Greek representatives on the ground that Greece is still at war against Tur key. The Turkish delegate alluded to yesterday’s dispatches telling of a na val engagement between Greek and Turkish ships off the coast of Asia Mi nor and declared that “It was a farce” for two nations at war to come to terms. Finally Osman Nizami Pasha said his colleagues must refuse to sit longer with Hie Balkan delegates unless or dered to do so by the Porte. They were prevailed upon to sit pending further Instructions from Constantinople, and the regular business of the session was resumed. Turks Keep Up Protest, Causing Adjournment. After a conference of barely three ' c a the session was adjourned until tomorrow because of the persistent protests of the Turks against the pres ' >.■'? of the Greek delegates. The Turks kept interrupting the proceedings at egular intervals to present arguments vhj the Greeks should retire.

New City Directory Is ’ ‘Menagerie* of Names; I Foxes and Birds Galore! Smiths Winner Over Jonses, 1,311 to 950—Estimated Atlanta | Has 217,000 Persons. A veritable “menagerie” of names is contained in the new city directory, published by the Atlanta City Directory Company, Joseph W. Hill, president. There are 35 Foxes. 10 Wolfs, 20 Birds, 4 Parrotts, 15 Hawks, 4 Bears, 3 Fish, 10 Wrens, 4 Partridges and 1 Sparrow. Also there are 2 William Bryans. 6 George Washingtons. 3 Jack Johnsons, 2 William Penns. 1 Thomas Jefferson. 1 William Shakespeare and I 46 W. Wilsons. The annual competition between the I Joneses and the Smiths finds the latter winners by a score of 1,311 to 950. The | Smiths refused to be dislodged at the final count last year, ’but there was plenty of Jones money in sight this sea son, and now the Smiths are collecting Christmas money, hats and other good things. The directory is the thirty-seventh of a series, and contains 54 per cent of changes. It gives Atlanta 217,000 per sons in the territory served by street car lines. According to Mr. Hill, the book contains two-fifths more informa tion per person than any directory pub lished in any city of 100,000 population or over. The first directory was issued in 1876, when Atlanta had a population of 17,- 561. The now one is in a buff cover, as distinguished from the red cover of last year and the olive brown of the year before. POLICE THEORY IS THAT SING KEE WAS TONG WAR VICTIM The theory that Sing Kee. the Chi nese mysteriously murdered early Sun day morning in his laundry, 246 Hous ton street, was slain for revenge in a feudal tong war, is being investigated by detectives It follows the receipt of a telegram by Police Chief Beavers from Li Young Yew. Chinese consul general in San Francisco, requesting' that the police probe the murder to the bottom and use every effort to solve the mystery. The Chinese official had received formal notice of the crime from friends of Sing Kee, who interested him in the investigation. When Sing Kee was found dead in Ids laundry, a bullet in his heart, a roll • of S6OO was also found in his pocket. 1 Nothing in the laundry was disturbed. ' There was no evidence of a struggle to i indicate that the celestial had discov ; ered and fought with a burglar. Detectives say that the man wno killed Sing Kee had completed his job and satisfied his motive when he put the bullet in the laundryman’s heart. The crime has created great excite ment in the local Chinese colony and 1 is the chief topic of conversation De tectives have questioned a number of Chinese, but the interviews have been fruitless.

TIE IIP WEALTH OF NITION Cutting Speculation in Half » Would Release $350,000,000 to Country. Says Expert. WHEN MONEY RATES GO j UP THE LOANS INCREASE! Lewisohn. on Advice of Coun sel, Answers Queries of Pujo Probers Asked Yesterday. ; WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.—That there . would be $350,000,000 available for the use of the country at large not now so available for industrial purposes if Wall Street speculation we'e cut in half was the startling as sertion made today before the Pujo committee investigating the alleged money trust by J. B. Niven, of the firm of Touche, Niven & Co., of New York, who was especially directed by the com mittee to investigate the movement of the monev from the country banks to the New York city banks. Niven said ha had gathered figures on 32 banks, all of them members of the New York Clearing House asso ciation, and constituting half that mem . bership. The list included all of the big banjts in New York city with country correspondents, the aggregate capital and surplus of which was something more than nine billion dollars. He said . there were about 19.000 out-of-town banks that carry deposits in the prin i cipal New York banks. Country Banks Heavy New York Depositors. > Niven declared that the country in stitutions had almost continually on deposit in New York. Including both > direct deposits in the New York insti i tutions and loans made on their be half on security of stock exchange and similar collateral, upward of $600,000,- 000, the amount varying from time to I* time, and recently exceeding $700,000,- ■ 000. I The data further showed the amount t loaned by reputable New York banks and trust companies, rather on their own account or on behalf of their coun try correspondents, exclusively on stock exchange or similar collateral. The sum thus loaned reported by these institu- I tions is generally in excess of $600,000,- 000, and on occasions is reported at amounts approaching SBOO 000,000. On January 1. 1912, the out-of-town banks . had on deposit with 32 banking Insti tutions In New York city upward of $523,000,000, and on that date the New j York city banks loaned for them on stock exchange collateral upward of $140,000,000, making a total of money of out-of-town banks in these 32 New . York institutions on January 1, 1912, of $664,474,000. On July 1 this total was upward of $691,000,000, and on No vember 1, 1912, the total was close to ' $723,000,000. Loans Go Up When i Money Rates Advance. The signifleent fact, sought to be shown by the witness’ figures, was that when the money rates are high the out of-town banks loan on the stock ex change far more money than when the rates are normal. This was shown by the result of November 1. 1912. on which date the out-of-town banks loaned, through 32 New York city banking in ’ solutions. on stock exchange collateral on demand loans, $240,480,000, In addi , tion to $483,000,000 at that time on de posit with these banks; while on July 1, when money was easy, they had only 1 $141,028,000 of loans made through city ’ banking correspondents,’showing a dis- I ference of $100,000,000 attracted in that way to New York city, through the high i money rates. It was the contention of the witness that if half of the money in New York that is devoted to stock exchange pur . poses could be released by cutting down I Wall Street speculation to that extent there would be upward of $350,000,000 available for the purpose of the coun try that is not now so available. Lewisohn Answers ”0n Advice of Counsel.” ‘ When Frederick Lewisohn, the bank ' er who refused to answer L'ntermeyer’s questions yesterday, was recalled his . counsel, Martin Vogel, announced that > In view of the belief that Lewisohn 1 "has some ulterior motive In refusing ! to answer” Vogel directed him to make reply.

Out of James G. Woodward’s visit to the meeting of the city council yester day afternoon and a sharp criticism by him of Aiderman John S. Candler, po litical critics today foresee a split be tween the two which virtually will mean two parties in the city govern ment.

Comptroller Goldsmith has just been elected for a new two-year term. His chief clerk, Graham West, will be re appointed. Several years ago Mr. West was ele vated to the place over the head of John F. Kellam, head clerk In the comptroller's office. Mr. Kellam and , bis friends were-not pleased by the act. In addition, Mr. West began a number of reforms in the purchasing of supplies and put into effect some strict rules regarding expenditures by the various departments. The ire of a number of department heads was aroused. Mr. Woodward sympathized with Mr. Kellam. Mr. Woodward has the ap pointment of the new finance commit tee and under the old law that com mittee would have tlie right to depose Mr. West. When Aiderman Candler was about to introduce the ordinance yesterday afternoon he showed it to Mr. Wood ward, who was sitting in the council chamber talking to Mayor Winn, "It is dirty polities," said Mr. Wood ward. Alderman Candler looked surprised. "I mean just what I say," said Mr. Woodward. Then Alderman Candler introduced the ordinance and it was adopted. It Is generally conceded in political circles that Alderman Candler is the most influential member of council. The wise prognosticators have agreed that Mr. Woodward does not intend to give Aiderman Candler any of the more i important committee chaii manships. In the mayoralty primary Mr. Wood ward was supposed to be opposed to . the policy of Police Chief Beavers As acting mayor, Alderman Candler ad vised Chief Beavers that the course he eventually followed, was his plain duty and the only course for him to pursue.

Dec. 17. —James ■ Daniel, sentenced to serve twelve i months on the chaingang for selling 1 whisky, is at liberty today following a ’ jail delivery that has stirred LaGrange. Another prisoner. in the same room, could have escaped, but made no effort to leave the prison. There is much mystery and speculation in regard to the escape. Some one secured the sheriff's keys, • unlocked the door and let Daniel out of prison. A reward of SIOO has been of fered for his rearrest. Daniel is a noted character about town and generally regarded as a des perate man. He has killed two negroes within the last twelve months and has been in several shooting scrapes. He was arrested about six months ago for selling whisky and. having been up many times before on the same charge and having always paid his fine, he was this time sentenced to pay a fine of $750 and serve twelve months on the chaingang. • Daniel is worth $15,000 to $20,000, having, so it is claimed, made most of it selling whisky.

TIFTON, gA., Dee. 17.—After having traveled 175 miles from Tifton to Thomasville and thence to Jakin, with only ten cents and no railroad ticket, Ocie Davis, ten-year-old daughter of W. N. Davis, was found today by her father, who had gone in pursuit of the runaway child. She was at the home of an uncle at Jakin.

The girl left Tifton early yesterday morning, boarding a southbound At lanta, Birmingham and Atlantic train for Thomasville. At Omega she was put off the train by the conductor, but succeeded in again getting aboard. Then the conductor decided that all he could do was to carry her on to Thom asville—the end of his run—and turn ] her over to officers to be sent back home. At Thomasville site escaped and 1 boarded another train for Jakin, where she arrived last night. The child was sent by her mother to a grocery store yesterday morning to do marketing for the family breakfast. She failed to return from that mission. Then the family became alarmed and a search for her began. Mr. Davis ascertained that his daugh ter had gone toward Thomasville and he caught the next train to that city. There he learned she had started to ward Jakin. He’followed her there and fcur.d her at Lsi lo ck’s bon:, enjoying herself immensely.

HEARST MEALS NEW \ DIL LETTERS Dll STAND ’ 1 gMy Publisher Is Witness Before the Campaign Fund Investigating Committee of Senate. ARCHBOLD MADE $50,000 LOAN TO SEN. FORAKEFU More Interesting Correspond ence Between Oil Head and Officials Revealed. WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.—The mys tery surrounding the origin of the Arch bold letters which have been appearing in Hearst’s Magazine for the past year was partially dispelled today when Wil liam Randolph Hearst, proprietor of the magazine hearing His name, testified before the Clapp committee of the sen ate that he had obtained the photo graphic copies of th<- documents from John L. Eddy, now residing In London. , | Mr. Hearst seemed loath to tell the name of the man who gave him the fac simile of the documents, hut finally ad mitted that it was Mr. Eddy, formerly editor of The New York Evening Jour nal and managing editor of The Bos ton American. Mr. Eddy, the publisher 'said, gave him the photographic copies in Columbus. Ohio, in September, 1908, and has never asked for nor received any compensation for them. Mr. Hearst said that he had never i doubted the authenticity of the letters , and saw no reason to do so now. Many of them had been acknowledged either by their writers or by their recipients. He also showed the committee a. number of other letters from John D. Archbold Io Senator Foraker and Sen ator Penrose which have not been printed, and promised to produce some more which he did not bring to Wash ington ‘‘because of their irrelevancy.” Penrose Didn’t Give Money's Worth. John L. Kennedy, of this city, was the only other witness called today. He was a member of the industrial committee of 1900 on which Penrose also served. He said that the Pennsyl vania senator did not attend the meet ings of.the committee and took no in terest In Its proceedings. His testi mony was calculated to show that the Inference that the $25,000 which the Standard Oil Is alleged to have sent. Penrose for some service to the com mittee was not warranted. At the close of Kennedy's testimony the committee adjourned, subject to the call of the chairman. Mr. Hearst gave his occupation as "journalist and publisher” on taking the stand.

Hearst denied that he had the origi nals of the Archbqld letters published in Hearst’s Magazine. Photos and Letters Given to Committee.
