“SIAMESE” TWINS IN
CONTINUAL QUARREL
HOLYOKE, MASS.. Dec. 28.—The
extreme sympathetic unity that is the
rule between even ordinary twins has
not put in its appearance in the case of
th si’ven-nionths-old "Siamese twin”
daughters of Mr. and Mrs. John R.
Gibbk. Mealtime Is proving an inevi
table bone of contention between the
united babies, for when one is clamor
ing for the bottle the oilier refuses to
touch it. and even tries io push her
sister's meal out of the crib. Also,
when one twin is sleepy the other is al
ways wide awake, and this sort of thing
has put the fond parents in a state of
perplexity. The twins are fastened to
gether at the hips, but otherwise are
perfectly normal.

Senator Smith Said to Have
i
Picked Old Aid for the Big 1
Atlanta Plum.
i
To be postmaster of Atlanta under i
President Wilson. Bolling H. Jones (
seems to lie the best bet nowadays. ,
True, Mr. Jones has been a good bet ,
for many days, and has been “promi- j
nently mentioned-” more times than a |
few. However, the tip seemingly comes
straight from Washington, at last, that
Jones really is to land the big plum, |]
and tin tip is more or less guaranteed
by tliose who speak by the card for
Senator Hoke Smith.
it is conceded that the Atlanta post
mastership is to be Senator Smith’s af
fair alone, (,'ustoin gives the senators
and representatives of the dominant
party in Washington tiie right to name j
their local or home postmasters. Under (
that arrangement, it has been a fore
gone conclusion that tiie Atlanta post- ,
master most likely would be some one (
very close to Georgia’s junior, senator.
Mr. Jones and Senator Smith long ,
have been very intimately associated ,
politically. During tiie senator’s first
campaign for the governorship, Mr
Jones yyas one of his most persistent
and active advocates. Indeed, as a rep
resentative of tiie Atlanta stove inter
ests and president of the Atlanta freight
buretyt, he generally was held to be the
"man b"hlnd" the famous "port rate
issue," which cut such a figure in that
i campaign.
Air. Jones is one of Atlanta’s most I
' ' sub.-taiitlai and prominent citizens. He
is a Virginian by birth, but has lived
• in Atlanta for the past twenty years.
He is thoroughly identified with At-
U lania'. business and social life, ami is
jusi 48 years old. Ar postmaster of
Atlanta lie will draw a salary of BC,'jO«
: per annum.
Mr. Jones is thoroughly popular in
Atlanta, and his appointment to the
postmastership will give general satis
faction.

NO END OF WIR
DEADLOCKSEEN
Turk Envoys Present Maximum
Proposal, Differing Far From
Demands. a /
LONDON, Dec. 28.—The deadlock in
the Turko-Balkan peace conference re
mains unbroken. After a session of an
hour and 45 minutes In St. James pal
ace today the envoys adjourned until
Monday without any progress having
been made.
A dark outlook prevailed when the
delegates resumed their session after a
four-day recess. Rechtd Pasha, of the
Ottoman delegation, who presided at
the meeting, submitted Turkey’s maxi
mum proposals to offset the maximum
demands of the allies.
The margin of difference between the
two notes was so great as to cause
much doubt whether the deadlock
would be broken sbon.
The allies are standing firm upon
their contention that Turkey shall not
be allowed to retain more than a foot
hold on Europe, whereas the Ottoman
plenipotentiaries ridicule this proposi
tion, saying "that Turkey should not be
deprived of territory she was valiant
ly defending when the armistice put an
end to hostilities.”
