(LUES ISSUE uutim™ TfflKH turns 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. FOUR PLEAS FAIL TO SAVE FARMER WHO SHOT WIFE M ALESTER, OKLA..

KIGHT RIOS H ■ OU I. GM MB Unknown Band Sends Bullets Into the Homes of Hab ersham Farmers. 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.

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.

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.
