TURKS TO REJECT
DEMANDS IM
ST ALLIES
Appeal Will Be Made Then to
Powers’ Diplomats for Set
tlement of War.
LONDON. Dee. 26.—The Turkish
peace envoys will reject the terms of
fered by the Balkan allies. When th,-
conferences are resumed on Saturday
they wilt immedlatt ly present their r, -
fusal and will then submit a counter
proposal, which they will declare their
final terms.
The allies will reject the terms pre
sented by the Porte's plenipotentiaries,
although several days niaj elapse be
fore the rejection is announced. Then,
according to the program outlined to
day by a diplomat in close touch with
the envoys of both sides, the failure of
the peace negotiations will b, an
nounced to the ambassadors of powers
In London, with the request that they
arrange for mediation. Steps will at
once be taken to this end.
"The war In southeastern Europe will
not be resumed," said this diplomat
"We have no hope that the envoys will
reach an agreement, but the powers
will mediate and thus prevent a re
newal of the war that has cost thou
sands of lives and millions of dollars.
"Humanity demands that the war end I
and there Is still another powerful pres
sure, namely, the interruption to trade i
and commerce caused by the struggle.
Recent visits of various envoys to M.
folnclaire In Paris indicate that that
country will take the leading part in
the mediation affairs."
The counter proposal to be submitted
by the Turks will concede to the allies
a slice of what is now Turkey-In-
Europe, but only a small portion of
what Is demanded. It will also stipu
late that Adrianople and Salonika shall
remain Turkish cities. Bulgaria and
Greece will never grant this

law, is 11 pounds, the size of a line fat baby.
Beginning Next Wednesday,
the Mails Will Handle Mer
chandise of All Sorts.
•
Th<- rather orderly appearance of the
mailing room of the Atlanta postoffice
with its bundles of newspapers, safiks
of letters and carefully wrapped little
boxes of merchandise will take on a new
aspect on January 1, when the parcels
post is inaugurated.
Beginning next Wednesday, anything
from a crate of eggs to a burglar jim
my, smoked ham, fresh fish and suits
of clothes will go through the mail for
the toll now taken for a stick pin.
With the smoke of the Christmas
rush scarcely cleared away, Atlanta
postal authorities will begin strenuous
preparations tomorrow for the installa
tion of the parcel post equipment. Ac
cording to Postmaster McKee, this may
moan a new delivery system, perhaps
an automobile delivery, if Atlantans
take to the new scheme in the manner
its advocates have asserted they would.
“We are at sea now,” admitted the
postmaster. "As soon as the plans for
the new system were definitely an
nounced, we mailed circulars to Atlanta
business houses requesting information
as to the number that would avail
themselves of the new parcels post. The
replies were, for the most part, vague
and there seemed to be a tendency to
hang back and see how the new system
worked."
That the parcels post law which goes
into effect on New Year’s day will mean
a radical change In the delivery sys
tems of many Atlanta business firms,
is predicted freely by those best in
formed.
For instance, under the new postal
law a pair of shoes mailed at noon can
be delivered by an Atlanta store to any
house in Atlanta before dark the same
day for a 6-cent stamp. A box of
candy can be delivered In the same way,
anywhere inside the local zone.
The entire parcels post .law is built
on the zone idea. There are eight
zones. The first zone has two divisions
—the local and 50-mile line. The sec
ond zone has a radius of 150 miles, the
third 300 miles, and so on. The rate
of postage on parcels up to eleven
pounds vary with the different zones.
No parcel over eleven pounds in weight
will be accepted for mailing, nor will
any parcel with a combined length and
girth exceeding 72 inches be accepted.
Liquor, poisons, pistols, explosives,
inflammable material and oils, dead
animals, disease germs and ill-smell
ing materials, such as fertilizer, etc.,
will be unavailable.
The table above shows the local rate
In the first zone. Within 50 miles one
pounds articles may be mailed for 5
cents, and a slightly greater rate up to
; eleven pounds. In the second zone or
I about the distance from Atlanta to
Knoxville, the one-pound rate is 6 cents,
and the other rates proportionately
higher. In the third zone or the dis
tance to Charlotte or Louisville the
one-pound rate is 7 cents. In the fourth
zone or the distance to Washington,
Chicago or Fort Smith, Ark., the first
tate is eight cents, and so on to the
eighth zone the lust zone including Pa
li fie coast points, where the one-pound
rate is 12 cents.

REFUSES TO LET
BABIES GIW OP
Children Two. Three and Four
Kept to the Cradle—Mother
Is Placed Under Arrest.
CLEVELAND, OHIO. Dee. 26.—1 n a
little kitchen at her home, Mrs. Mood
Thol has battled with nature for years
secretly in an effort to keep time from
touching her babies.
Around her feet crept three children
two, three and four years old. Victims
of a strange code her ingenuity de
vised to prevent them advancing beyond
the cradle, they laughed, kicked their
feet and waved their hands as she
crooned over them.
The eldest boy did not creep faster
or with greater ease than the younger
ones. He mumbled incoherently, tug
ged at his mother’s dress and slob
bered over a little bib, when she tickled
him beneath the chin. He is barely
larger than a child of two years, and
apparently has not advanced intellec
tually beyond the cradle.
To further defeat their development,
the mother has never fed them any
thing except baby food. What lay be
yond the door, through which a stran
ger never passed, they had no idea.
Neighbors say the woman never took
her children away from home. Occa
sionally In the hot summer, they say.
she would wheel them away in the
darkness, but always guarded them
closely from the gaze of any persons.
"She has a strange desire to always
keep them babies,” Deputy Sheriff Sob
eznk said. “The four-year-old boy can
not talk or walk. He Is not as large as
an ordinary youngster 18 months old.”
Several days ago William James,
clerk of the probate court, discovered
the plight of the children and investi
gated. He continued the investigation
until he made sure the children were
not Imbeciles.
James mid Sobczak went to the house,
arrested the woman and took her to
the city hospital. The children will be
placed in an infant institution.

BIG BS TREAT
Dinner, Concert, and Lifting of
Ban on Talking Feature of
Day Inside Walls.
Ninety-eight turkeys weighing 1,060
pounds, 50 gallons of gravy, 650 gal
lons of mashed potatoes, 50 pounds of
plum pudding, an orchestra concert and
the abrogation of the rule of silence
for the first Christmas since the es
tablishment of the institution was the
unusual program for prisoners at the
United States penitentiary.
The Christmas dinner was the most
elaborate event ever held tn a United
States prison and in spirit and good
fellowship it exceeded anything ever
seen behind prison walls.
The dining hall was decorated in
evergreens In designs executed by pris
oners. "Merry Christmas” displayed
in cedar and pine on the walls greeted
915 inmates as they marched in at
12:30 o’clock yesterday afternoon and
took their places at little tables around
the big dining hall.
The musical program which follow
ed the spread was excellent and was
greeted enthusiastically by the pris
oners. John Sullivan, a prisoner with
n rich bass voice, started the concert
with "Donehoo, He's an Irishman." A
hundred prisoners joined in the chorus.
A moment later Sullivan responded to
an encore and raised his voice to
"Darling. I Am Growing Old,"
Warden William A. Moyer made a
brief address to the convicts, in which
he told the men of the hearty good
wishes he held for them. He suggested
that three cheers be given for the two
women. Mrs. Emma Neal Douglas and
Mrs. I. Springer, who had supplied the
candy ami the oranges for the din
ner.
Following the warden's address the
prison band played “The Lincoln Cen
tennial," "The Danube Waltz." “Over
the Waves.” "Ragtime Soldier Man."
"The Skeleton Rug” and "The Na
tional Emblem March."
How ard Hobbs, the cornetist. acted as
bandmaster during the absence of Pro
fessor J. P. Miitthiessen. and with
register No. 3427. he gave a cornet duet.
Arthur Williams, the negro character
singer and Frazier, the mandolin ex
pert, rendered solos. Greco and Mar
tello. w ith mandolin and guitar, proved
popular and the well-known negro
quartet came in for rounds of ap
plause.

GREAT EXPLOSION
IN BE OF TAFT
j
Dynamite Goes Off in Panama
Street, But No Plot on the
I
President Is Found.
PANAMA, Dee. 26.--A number of ar
rests were made here today as a result
of a dynamite explosion that occurred
in Central avenue last night shortly,
after President Taft had passed through
the street on his way to the Christmas
bail given by President Porras, of Pan
ama, at the National theater.
It was at first believed that an at
tempt had been made to assassinate
President Taft, but after several hours
of investigation the authorities began
to lean toward the theory that the ex
plosion was accidental. Within fifteen
minutes after the explosion occurred
arrests begun and were still going on
today.
One man who was injured by the ex
plosion. which wrecked a kiosk in the
street, is in the hospital seriously in
jured. He was standing just outside
the kiosk when the explosion occurred
and was hurled more than 50 feet by its
force.
Excitement at Theater.
The sound of the explosion caused
wild excitement at tire National thea
ter and members of the managing com
mittee hurried to the scene under or
ders from President Porras to make a
full investigation. Three qf the mem
bers remained with the Panama chief
of police throughout the night.
President Taft showed no trace of
agitation when he learned of the ex
plosion. which, if it had occurred fif
teen minutes earlier, might have en
dangered his own life as well as that of
his wife. Mrs. Taft was not told of the
I explosion at once.
; There have been numerous threats
I against Americans ever since the canal
I strip was taken from Panama and ex
, traordinary precautions were taken by
| the representative officials to guard
I President Taft from the time he left
American territory.
Anti-Americans Arrested.
The streets were lined with police
and several anti-American agitators
.had been taken into custody as soon as
It was definitely known that Mr. Taft
would come to Panama.
The president remained at the ball
until early this morning. He talked
some time with President Porras and
appeared to be enjoying himself im
mensely. He occupied the presidential
box at the theater with Mrs. Taft and
President and Mrs. Porras. Four guards
were stationed outside the box and
none was allowed to approach.

monkeys aboard the vessel off the Flor

ber. collected by the younger officers in
Mexico, broke loose at sea. Twenty
cats, whose official capacity concerns
the depopulation of the ship’s rodent

swung him around several times and
flung him far over the side into the sea
before the crew could put a stop to the

SEARCHING
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
“Joe" Nash, who is to be the state's
adjutant general after January 1 is a
mighty popular man throughout Geor-
•■T
F -
gia, and his ap
pointment by Gov
ernor . Brown is
sure to be well re
ceived by the pub
lic generally.
He and the gov
ernor are. and long
have been. fast
friends, and' th<?
executive enter
tains a very high
opinion of Joseph
Van Holt Nash as
a military man,
moreover.
The Atlanta of
ficer has beer,
closely and enthu
siastically identi
fied with the na-
tional guard of the state for twenty
years or more, and in one way and an
other has come in contact, from time to
time, not only with ail the officers of
the state, the rank and file of the en
listed men. but with scores of public
men generally—and everybody likes him
and approves of him, both as an offi
cer and a gentleman.
Brigadier General Obear, the retiring
head of the state militia, has a fine
record of efficiency behind him. It is
doubtful whether a more thorough man
than Obear ever occupied the office of
adjutant general, or ever will. He
knows the office he holds from A to Z.
He is a master of infinite detail, and
his retirement from the state’s military
service would be a distinct loss to the
department with which he is now con
nected.
The hope is expressed generally, how
ever. that the state is not to lose Obear.
He most likely will be tendered his for
mer position of quartermaster general
and his friends believe he will accept.
He filled that office with honor and dis
tinction before, and he would fit it like
a glove again.
There are many departments of the
military control and operation in Geor
gia that will feel the loss of Obear keen
ly. if he elects to retire. And that is
why the hope is sincere and practically
unanimous that he will choose to re
main.
Commenting recently, in its usual
vigorous and straightforward manner,
upon the state schools and the fund
provided by the legislature for their
support, The Macon Telegraph said:
Would that the piorfeer fathers of
Georgia, like those of Texas, had
set apart great tracts of land with
a vjew to provide a perpetual and
ample educational fund for poster
ity. Georgia’s appropriation for
ISI3, $2,550,000. is a considerable
total, but it provides only $3.44 per
child of school age, an amount ut
terly inadequate for the purpose.
There are two very serious problems
to come before the next legislature for
settlement with respect to the schools.
First, a rational and not.over-bufden
sorne method of getting more money
for their support must be devised; sec
ond. a method of paying the teachers
promptly must be worked out.
The increase in the borrowing ca
pacity of the governor—from $200,000 to
$400,000—18 all right, as far as it goes,
but there are few legislators who do
not realize that borrowing to pay is a
mighty unsatisfactory way of doing
business. The teachers should be paid
up, and afterward their salaries should
be kept up.
Everybody realizes the importance of
these matters, but it will require diplo
macy and genuine statesmanship to
work out the reforms intelligently and
acceptably.
Congressman-elect J. R. Walker, of
Valdosta, who has just returned with a
party of friends from a two weeks hunt
ing trip, has established a new record
as a deer slayer.
He killed seven of the nine deer his
party got, and killed two of them at
one time, shooting a big buck with one
barrel of his gun and another 'deer im
mediately after with the other barrel.
The party was composed of Colonel
Walker, Judge .1. G. Cranford. J. P
Coffee, W. J. Durant, W. S. Mcßee,
Charlie Cribbs, of Valdosta, and M
Chasen, of Sirmans. They bagged many
big turkeys and caught all the fish they
wanted.
For fear Colonel Jesse Mercer, the
well known game warden, may get on
Congressman Walker s trail, however, it
may be stated that Walker claims to
have done all the killing in Florida.
In all the civilized world, so far a
newspap. r and telegraph records show,
no woman was executed for a capital
offense during the year 1912.
Men have been hanged, shot, elcctro
'cuted. garroted and otherwise put to
death for infractions of the law. but
nowhere has a woman been called to
account with' her life for murder, ar
son. treason or othei offense of the
kind.
The gradually expanding hostility to
capital punishment has ,-pread to that
extent, at least. It now is confined to

The grand jury of Clarke county ! hl .

The grand jury believes that such a lav

If the law is enacted, it undoubtedly
would have the effect desired. A piste’
with a barrel sixteen inches in length
could hardly be less than twenty inches
long altogether—nearly two feet. No
such implement of war could be car

Christmas as a prisoner in the city jail
The young woman, who has associated

The arrest, according to Detective Har

Mrs. Adams has lived since her arrival in
Los Angeles.
Two specific complaints of issuing bad
checks are held against the beautiful
young woman. The first of these was
when she cashed a check for $10.50.

The second was a check for sls, cashed
