PEACE MEETING 15 DEADLOCKED i i.VDUN, Dec. 23. —The Turkish en voys precipitated a crisis in the Turko- Balkan peace conference today by -landing firm on their demand for the r victualling of Adrianople. The Turks xplained their action by saying they ai received instructions direct from onstantinople to insist upon this right, denied that they were trying to In time. Tiit- delegates were in conference in James palace less than an hour, and <ll adjourned over Christmas until -utirday without any progress having ■ii made. threatening has the situa i become that England. France ,< Russia, the powers making up the tide- entente, are expecting notes, and <t is said France will take the first tep for the outside powers to intercede bring about a successful termination , i lie negotiations. It is possible the oiled States will be called upon »o act - mediator. There is evidence that the envoys of earia Secyia.

Jones, furniture dealer at 520 Marietta street, today had more trouble with a negro who several days ago sold him for $8 the furniture of the old Plaza hotel owned by Colon. ! Wilfis A. Ragan at Peachtree and '.Vest Peach tree streets. Early this morning the same negro, probably elated over having sold Colo nel Ragan’s hotel furniture, went to the furniture store and tried to sell Jones more second-hand furniture. Jones, who was released on a S3OO bond for perjury on account of the for mer deal, attempted this time to detain the negro until the police could arrive. Instead, however, the negro drew a gun to force his release from the store, and several shots and an exciting but futile chase followed. Vt ith the negro’s pistol drawn on Jones, U. M. Shannon, bookkeeper for the store, knocked down the black man, who gave his name as Ed Willis, with a hammer. He recovered, however, and, with Jones. Shannon and John Brldwell, a clerk, in pursuit, started the chase, which led him down Hunnicutt street and out to Tanyard bottoms. There Willis hid himself, and escaped the hunt ot a squad of police who were hurried to the scene in an automobile. During the chase Willis fired several shots at his pursuers, but none took ef fect. None of the men chasing the ne gro was armed. PICTURE SHOW DEATH LIST IS UP TO SIXTEEN BRUSSELS. BELGIUM. Dee. 23. The death list in the fatal fire ip a moving picture theater in Menin last night reached sixteen today when four of the fifty injured died. Seven hundred persons who were in the theater when fire out were thrown into panic. The panic was caused by a film igniting. Many in the theater at the time were women and children. THE ATLANTA GEOKG TAX AND NEWS. MON DAY. DECEMBER 23. 1912. SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS , ON GEORGIA POLITICS The Georgia weeklies, wishing their constituencies a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, many of them b< - E ; decked with gor geous front pages of holiday persua sion. announce al most unanimously this week that there will be. in honor of the Yule tide, **no paper next week.” The Georgia weekly press, for years, has cut out the Christmas week edition. The dailies may keep going, with their records of news and their stories of y men and things, but the weeklies cease firing, and take a true and genuine vacation., with the accompanying opportunity to have a good time really, and get a sure enough holiday. The Georgia weekly press has con cerned itself of late far more than the daily press with. Georgia's chance of getting a son in the cabinet. And the weeklies, too, run very de cidedly in favor of Representative Pleasant A. Stovall, of Savannah, for that honor. . If the weekly press were vouchsafed | the authority, to name the man from I Georgia who should sit as Wilson's ad viser and intimate in the white house, Stovall would get the plum! He is, and has been for many years, very popular with the weekly press. Ami the press is divided on him only with respect to which particular port folio should be awarded him. Suggestions run about evenly be tween the secretaryship of the interior and the postmaster generalship. Charles S. Barrett, of Georgia, presi dent of the National Farmers union, has been named by President Taft to be a member of the highly important commission on industrial relations, authorized by congress. It is said that the senate likely will refuse to confirm the commission named by the president, and in that event,- of course. Mr. Barrett would not sit upon it as at present proposed. President Woodrow Wilson, however, will name a new commission soon after inauguration, which will be confirmed, and Mr. Barrett will be renamed. There does not seem to be any doubt about that. Senator Hoke Smith's proposed bill extending the national banks the right to lend mom-y on real estate la general ly approved in Georgia. The fact tiiat national banks are not permitted to make loans upon real es | late collateral makes it. harder for the I farmer to get money, so various news papers argue, than it would be if the old prohibition were removed. The purpose of the law originally was to force national banks to lend money only on collateral Immediately con- I vertible into cash in case of forfeiture, I but the necessity of holding real estate I collateral rigidly to a contrary classl- Palmer’s Tolu and Honey Relieves Quickly, Without Producing Nau sea or Constipation, Coughs, Colds, Hoarse ness, Sore Throat, Croup, Whooping Cough and Other Bronchial Affections.

NEVIN. ficatlon is urged to have passed, and. therefore, the Georgia newspapers— particularly of the rural persuasion— believe that the financial situation would be greatly and sensibly relieved if national banks might make loans on real estate as security. Anyway. Senator Smith's bill is be ing applauded from one end of the state to the other as a mighty desirable thing. The suggestion of The Darien Ga zette that al! county officers in Georgia be elected for four years instead of two, as is now the custom, has met with considerable approval throughout the state. If it carried with it the further sug gestion of no prescriptive title to a sec ond term, it likely would be generally approved. It is customary in Georgia nowadays to elect officers, and then to re-elect them, regardless, to a second term. Years ago the politicians began to set up a claim to a second terqi as an ‘‘indorsement,'' and the officeholder who failed to get it has looked upon the failure as a sort of repudiation pe culiarly obnoxious. This idea had more to do than any thing else, perhaps, with bringing about the constitutional inhibition against a third consecutive term in the governor ship. Governors have come to be ac corded a second term, almost without question; and pretty much the same rule applies in all other offices—as it does. Indeed, so far as Georgia is con cerned. to national representatives and senators. While, however. The Darien Gazette's suggestion is interesting and in many instances approved, it is not at all like ly that a change in the present law will be enacted by the incoming legislature . Jesse G. Perry, the governor's private secretary, left Saturday night to spend his Christmas holiday with “the folks back home," in Mitchell county. Colonel Perry is an ardent sportsman and a crack shot. He will not miss a day’s hunting while he is away, but has promised tile governor faithfully to Stick within ii:. limit of 25 birds a day. and not bring down censure upon the administration by .- looting up Mitchell county’s quail crop indiscriminately. He will return to Atlanta and his of ficial duties about January 3. Congressman Charles (i. Edwards, of the Firs, district, lists Editor Josephus Daniels, of The Raleigh News and Ob server, as the one sure cabinet possi bility under President Wilson. Mr. Edwards, who is home for the < iiristmas holidays, says there is ab solutely no doubt in the mind of any body in Washington that Daniels is to land, and in all probability in the post master generalship. Editor Daniels is wide! known in Georgia, especially among who have figured in national politics, and the opinion that he richly deserves re ward and recognition at the hands of the incoming administration is practi cally unanimous. The announcement of the Georgia prison commission that It will not stand for the removal of county wardens and physicians, when th? cause for removal 1 is merely political, has smashed many a LIBERTY OFFERED SMALL GRAFTERS NEW YORK, Dec. 23.—A chance for •mmunlty was today granted policemen and civilians who acted as collectors for the graft under the “police system” from the 35,000 women of the under world, upon the condition that they would confess and implicate the men higher up in the police department. District Attorney Whitman, who has made this offer of freedom to the “small fry" grafters, feels that they were merely tools for the captains, in spectors, and acted under their orders, and Whitman wants to secure the infor mation against the men who have been the brains of the grafters in taking money from keepers of disorderly re sorts. This action on the part of the dis trict attorney created a panic among tlie higher officers of the police depart ment. and there were wild rumors that some of the guilty officials, rather than face the court, would flee from the city and become fugitives. Added cause for alarm came today when it was learned that Charles De vauiere and David Maier, held for the grand jury' on the charge of attempting to bribe a janitor not to testify in sup port of the revelations of Mrs. Mary Goode, would most likely accept the offer of immunity by testifying as to jlieir knowledge of the “system.” pretty slate framed up for January throughout the state. New county commissioners here and there long ago have caucused and de cided to oust wardens and physicians hither and yon—and generally for no reason whatever other than that tlie ! incumbents aligned themselves with j losing political factions in the various localities affected. The prison commission never lias del egated to the county commissioners the right to elect these officials, but it had | come to accept their recommendations | practically without question. When it > became apparent, however, that this,' right of nomination was being abused, I the commission sharply withdrew it. I There will be some wailing and ' gnashing of teeth, of course—but the | prison commission says it will stand pat from now on, on its own right to name the county physicians and war dens.
