Will Break Off Negotiations if
Satisfactory Reply Is Not
Received Tomorrow.
“WE SHALL MEET AGAIN
ON THE CHATAUA LINES”
Demand Actual Negotiations
Begin or War Will Be Re
sumed at Once.
LONDON, Dec. 18. —An ultimatum, to
ttm effect that the peace plenipotentia
ries of the Balkan allies will break off
negotiations tomorrow unless the Turks
present a satisfactory reply to the
propositions of the allied governments
was issued today by Dr. S. Daneff, the
leading envoy of Bulgaria.
"If the Turks do not wish to nego
tiate with the Greek envoys,” said Dr.
Daneff. "we shall meet again on the
Chatalja lines, where the armistice
binding ail the belligerent governments
except Greece was drawn up.
"Furthermore, if Turkey's reply to
our representations tomorrow is unsat
isfactory, we shall break off the nego
tiations.”
It is understood that by a satisfacto
ry reply the envoys of the allies mean
a reply which will enable the delegates
to begin actual consideration of de
mands of both sides.
Turks Communicating
With Constantinople.
There was no session of the envoys
In St. James palace today, although
the delegates on both sides held con
ferences among themselves. Osman
Nazim Pasha, Turkish minister to Ger
many and head of the Ottoman dele
gation to the conference, has been in
constant telegraphic communication
with Constantinople since yesterday
afternoon on the question of including
the Greek plenipotentiaries in the con
ference.
Although the sudden halt of the par
ley by the Turks gave a sinister outlook
to the peace situation, this was partly
dissipated today by announcement that
the Porte has sent Str Richard Craw
ford, the British adviser to the Turk
ish government, to London to assist in
arranging the financial details of the
proposed treaty.
Mediation Not
Necessary, Says Greek.
General Danglis, one of the Greek
rnvoys who was detained in the field,
arrived last night and today was clos
eted with Premier Venlzelos, of Greece,
leader of the Greek peaoe delegates, for
a considerable period. Afterward Mr.
Venfzelos said he did not believe it
would be necessary for the United
States or any other great power to me
diate. "although the future could not
be foreseen accurately.”
Sir Edward Grey, the English minis
ter of foreign affairs, and. other high
officials of the foreign office are plain
ly worried over the latest possibilities
n the present deadlock. The develop
ments here indicate that Turkey’s do
mestic policies are largely responsible
for the hitch in the negotiations. After
'he envoys were instructed to treat
with the Greek envoys by the Porte
’hi-so instructions were subsequently
withdrawn.

MOUNTAIN CLANSMEN
BLAMED FOR ATTACK
Identity of Marauders and Ori
gin of Their Grievance Are
Wrapped in Darkness.
CLARKESVILLE, GA., Dec. 18.—
Mountain clansmen in the vicinity of
Mt. Airy are blamed in a feud warfare
that has been started against farmers
of that section, and already the homes
of two well known farmers have been
shot up. The identity of the marauders
is unknown and the origin of their
grievance against the farmers is a mys
tery. •
The first outbreak came Monday
night, when the home of Burt Trotter
was attacked. Members of the Trotter
family were awakened when they heard
voices in the barn yard. A few minutes
later they saw shadowy figures of men
in the darkness moving about the barn
yard and then saw their stock driven
out into the woods. A few minutes
later the Trotters heard footsteps on
the front porch. Then some one rat
tled the door as though trying to force
an entrance.
Prowlers Fired On
First From Window.
Trotter's son went to an open win
dow overlooking the porch and fired at
a man he saw at the door. The man
fled and escaped in the darkness. A
few minutes later shots were fired into
the Trotter house.
Yesterday William Harper, a neigh
bor of the Trotters, came to Clarkes
ville to do some trading, returning
home late in the evening. Last night
Harper’s home was fired into by un
known personk.
Harper and Trotter believe that the
same crowd Is responsible for both at
tacks and that Harper's house was shot
up, under the impression that he had
visited Clarkesville to give information
of the Trotter attack. This, however,
was not the case.
Today Habersham county officers are
endeavoring to clear up the mystery
and run down the clan responsible for
the depredations.

BOULEVARD PAVING
ONLY A MAKESHIFT,
SAYS CONTRACTOR
At a meeting of property holders on
North Boulevard last night G. M. In
grund, president of the Southern Bitu
lithic Company of Nashville, declared
that the bituminous macadam on North
Boulevard which has called forth the
denunciation of the property holders
was a mere “makeshift," but is Just
what the specifications call for.
He said the fault was not with his
company, but with the people, who had
upon a form of paving which
will not stand the wear of heavy traffic.
He alsp declared that his company
would finish the contract unless pro
hibited by a court order, but made a
proposition to take off the top paving
already laid and replace it with more
substantial material, at an additional
cost.
A committee of property holders will
be appointed to look into the several
propositions offered for the reconstruc
tion of the street, and to decide upon a
definite plan with the city construction
department and the contractor.
SHOOTSFATHEROF
WIFE, WHO RETURNS
FIRE WITH EFFECT
BAINBRIDGE, GA.. Dec. 18.—Officers
from Bainbridge today are searching
for Ike Dean, who late yesterday shot
his father-in-law, Ross Merkenson,
probably fatally, and shot at his wife
and her mother, missing both. Mer
kenson returned Dean's fire, wounding
him. Dean dropped his gun and fled.
Dean's wife had left him, returning
to the home of her parents. Dean, car
rying a shotgun, followed her there,
saying he had come to kill the whole
family. He opened fire on Merkenson,
the charge of shot taking effect. Then
he turned the gun toward the women
and fired, but his aim was bad.
Dean ran out of the house and was
climbing the fence when Merkenson ap
peared at the door with his gun. His
shot struck Dean, but he is not thought
to have been badly wounded, as he
succeeded in escaping. Thus far offi
cers have failed to get a trace of him.

SUITCALLED
‘SPITE’ BY
JESTER
Rich Contractor Accused of
Theft of a Wife’s Love
Brands Charge False.
RAILROAD MAN TELLS
HOW HE TRAILED PAIR
Declares He Spent His Meager
Fortune Following Them
Over United States.
“Anglin's charges against me are false
and without foundation. The animus
behind them will be shown up at the
proper time and place," said W. R. Jes
ter today, in a statement to The Geor
gian. replying to the suit filed against
him in the superior court by J. T. An
glin.
Anglin sued Jester for $50,000 dam
ages, charging that Jester had alien
ated the affections of Mrs. Anglin. TJia
suit w is the outgrowth of marital trou
bles of the Anglins, which already had
attracted wide attention.
The story included a chase across the
American continent, with Anglin as
pursuer, and Jester and Mrs. Anglin as
pursued; a fight between Anglin and
Jester in Macon a short time ago. and
a divorce suit instituted by Mrs. An
glin.
Father of Wife
Also Is Accused.
The damage suit today also asks the
sum of $1,994.80, to repay expenses in
curred by Anglin in ills transcontinen
tal trips and in other travels on the
trail of his wife.
Ira Bradshatv, father of Mrs. Anglin
anil formerly a carpenter in Jester’s
employ, is alleged to have had knowl
edge of his daughter’s infatuation for
Jester, a wealthy contractor, and his
name is several times brought into the
suit.
Jester's statement today follows:
All that I desire to say at this
time in reference to the sensation
al allegations made by J. T. Anglin
in tile suit filed against me is that
at tlie proper time and place the
animus of same will be shown up
and the charges will be shown to
be false and without foundation.”
Says He Spent All
His Money Trailing Pair.
Anglin recites in ids suit that Jes
ter, by his fortune of $300,000, cunning
ly. craftily and wit it great subtlety
worked on the mind of Mrs. Anglin anc
iiy showing her the allurements of s
life of luxury and ease, such as Anglin
could not give her. gained a great
ascendency over her. He alleged thai
Jester was a married man. though sep
arated from his wife, at the time he
was paying these attentions to Mrs.
Anglin.
“Your petitioner has spent ail his
money In an effort to frustrate the de
signs of Jester," recites the petition,
"and by reason of twice crossing the
continent to prevent the wreck of his
Imine has been reduced to such straits
that at times he has not had even car
fare." He alleges further that Jester
lias given Mrs. Anglin valuable pres
ents of diamonds, clotiiing, pleasure
trips and other luxuries.
The suit recites that Anglin married
Mamie Bradshaw, daughter of Ira
Bradshaw, a carpenter, on April 19,
1911, in Atlanta, and the couple went to
El Paso, Texas, where Anglin had ac
cepted a railroad job.
Left Husband in
West and Came Here.
Soon after there came messages pur
porting to be from the bride’s father,
tagging her to come home on account
of liis illness. About June 7 Mrs. Ang
lin left for Atlanta, leaving her husband
behind, happy In the belief that she
would return to him. There had not
been a cloud on the honeymoon thus
far.
But Mrs. Anglin remained in Atlanta
and finally a letter "from one of her
lady friends" came to Anglin telling
him Bradshaw’s illness was not such as
to render his daughter’s presence nec
essary. Then Anglin’s brother wrote
that Mrs. Anglin was taking daily mo
tor rides with VV. R. Jester. And at
the same time came a letter from the
wife, saying she was enjoying life in
I Atlanta and hated to leave
