OYNUMiTEHS IK IIP FOR SENTENCE 10 PfliSON Judge Expected to Deny Bail Pending an Appeal to the Higher Courts. CONVICTED MEN IN GOOD SPIRITS FOR THE ORDEAL Counsel and Wives Cheer Them and Aid of Labor in Their Fight Is Promised. INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 30.—Desper ate efforts were to be made here today by counsel for the 38 men convicted of the dynamiting conspiracy to obtain their freedom on bond pending an ap peal, but it is believed this will be de nied. The men will be sentenced by Judge Anderson this morning, soon aft er which it is believed the "dynamite special” will leave for Leavenworth, Kans. Convicted Men in Best of Spirits. The men were in the best of spirits when brought into court here this morning chained to their guards. Their attorneys were with them much of Sunday, bolstering them for the ordeal, and their wives have been prepared with the assurance that labor will stand behind their husbands and are bearing up well. It is believed that Chester H. Krum, of St. Louis, Attorney for the defense, ■vill bundle the case before the United States circuit court of appeals. But the ’f-tense attorneys will not show their Hand, other than to point out approxi mately 90 assignments of error to be appealed on, and they predict big things before the case ends. It is the theory or the defense counsel that if two or more of the defendants did enter the conspiracy and performed the unlawful act, that act ended with the commis sion of the offense and that they should not be held liable for any other than '•u act. Krum contends there can be no hk li thing as a combining conspira cy.

EARLY RESUMPTION OF WAR IS THREATENED Islam Delegates Say They Are, Unauthorized to Act Inde pendently of Porte. LONDON. Dec. 30. —With the dead lock firmer than at any previous time and with the possibility of a resumption of hostilities looming up with menacing distinctness, the negotiations into the Turko-Balkan peace conference were resumed today' in St. James palace. Rechid Pasha, speaking for the Turk ish envoys, told the representatives of the allies that he had communicated with Constantinople, but received no instructions which would allow him and his colleagues to withdraw from the stand they had taken. This reply an gered the plenipotentiaries of the al lies. who pointed out that the Turks wet# clothed with all the power neces sary without wasting time by calling upon the Porte for fresh instructions every time an obstacle arose. The Turks insisted that they were justified in demanding the retention of Adrian ople because "it was being bravely de fended” when .hostilities came to a close. Allies Gravely Face Situation. Today’s session did not begin until after noon and during the morning the delegates representing the allied gov ernments conferred at the quarters of the Greek delegates. Premlr Venizelos, of Greece, presided at the meeting, and, after it broke up, th gravity of the con ferees indicated that the Balkan en voys had resolved on a bold step. Dr. Daneff, of the Bulgarian envoys, sounded a note of warning before the’ conference was resumed. “We desire peace, but we do not de sire to fight for it unless forced to.” said Dr. Daneff. “If we are compelled to resume hos tilities. Turkey' must be prepared to ac cept no quarter and some of the repre sentatives of the allies have been treat ed unjustly by the Turkish envoys. We have appealed to the British foreign of fice for counsel and we are advised to put up with certain obstructions in view of the traditions of the Turkish diplomacy. Patience Now Nearly Exhausted. "However, our forbearance is about exhausted. We are being chided by our own countries, and unless we force an issue we will look ridiculous in the eyes of the world. "Our armies have kept the field and we are able to resume the war upon an hour's notice.” The deadlock in the peace conference is again menacing the tranquility of Europe, as no definite steps will be taken to settle issues arising from the Balkan war until it is seen whether peace or continuation of war is to re sult from the London conference. Reports from Vienna stated that Russia had again begun troop move ments to the southwestern frontier and that Roumanla had resumed mobiliza tion of her army.

ATLANTA, GA., MONDAY, DECEMBER 30. 1912 Harries Wedding to Nurse Fiance While Patient in Hospital Raleigh Girl Now Bride of Dal las Lawyer, Former Georgia Student. RALEIGH, N. C., Dec. 30. —Her Ra leigh friends have just received news that MW Bessie Rogers, daughter of Mrs. Wiley M. Rogers, of this city’, was recently married in Dallas.

Miss Rogers went to Dallas shortly before Christmas to attend a house par ty and although engaged to Rewis, the marriage was not scheduled to take place until some time in the spring. About the time of her arrival Rewis found it necessary to undergo an oper ation for a severe affection of his eyes, and when the surgeons announced the following day that another operation within a week or two would have to be performed Miss Rogers and her fiance decided to get married without further delay' so that she could be with him constantly while he was under the care 'of the surgeons.

LOUIS, MO., Dec. 30. —Governor Herbert S. Hadley, as a parting gift to the state, when he retires from office in January, will present a painting of him self to be added to the gallery of gov ernors. Hadley wished to look as much as possible like Roosevelt. This painting is by Carl Waldeck and is the same that some time ago the gov ernor's son decided to complete by paint ing in an ey'e. He nearly ruined the pic ture, but the artist was able to remove the daubs. The governor found great difficulty in finding an artist who gave him exactly the expression that he desired. The first painting by a St. Louis artist was re jected and led to legal troubles for the governor. It showed him as wearing a plain black tie. and this the governor objected to, as he claimed that he al ways wore a blue polka dot tie, like Roosevelt.

Little Benjamin Berry Develops Himself Physically by Lots of Outdoor Exercise. Here is another three-year-old At lanta boy who is claimed to be some thing of a model. His name is Benja min Berry, son of Mr. and Mrs. B. L. Berry, of 109 Cooper street. Benjamin is, with one slight excep tion, a better developed three-year-old than Bernarr Magee, Professor F. B. Magee’s model Atlanta boy of that age. Little Benjamin Berry, who is the ex act age and weight of Bernarr Magee, differs from the young boxer-model es sentially in height and muscle develop ment. Master Magee was about all any fond parent could wish for in the way of physical development, and his right to bear the title of “Atlanta’s perfect three-year-old boy” went unchallenged for a long time. But Mrs. B. L. Berry read about him, then took one long, loving glance at her own fine son, and since has believed that Master Benjamin at least deserves equal distinction with The Georgian expert’s own son. Mrs. Berry not only strongly believed that, but she told her friends about it as well. As a result, The Georgian heard about young Benjamin, the ri valry which sprung up over him. and — well, here is his picture, his measure ments and q. comparison of his meas urements with those of the model. Both of the youngsters weigh 38 pounds. Benjamin's neck measure—ll inches—is one-half inch greater than Bernarr’a; his chest is 1.8 inches great er. and his thighs are 1.2 inches farther around. The model's calf measurements are six-tenths of an inch greater than Mas ter Benjamin's. Their upper and fore arm measurements are almost the same, Benjamin’s being greater by less than one-half inch. for looks, both youngsters are ar near perfect as could be found any where. Master Magee is a boxer and Iridian club swinger at odd times.

One look at little Benjamin is quite convincing that he has rarely if ever been sick a day In his life. His moth er used to worry about his growth, as every mother worries. But that was in his early days. She doesn’t worry now. and neither does tlie boy. He loves exercise, plen ty of fresh ozone, and nothing delights him more than a rough and tumble, health-producing frolic each evening before bedtime. That is one of Professor Magee’s rules for mothers, and is one at which Benjamin is so apt that the value of the rule Is proved beyond question.

Renounce W oman at Conference Held on Sun day-—Agree Not to Visit Jones County Pris oner Who Planned Husband’sDeath---Willing for Her to Hang, if the Law So Decrees. By Staff Correspondent. ROl ND OAK. GA.. Dec. 30.—The brother and sisters of Mrs. Kathrine King decided, at a conference yesterday afternoon, not to make any effort to save her from death on the gallows. They feel that, she has committed a terrible crime for which she deserves no sympa thy, and they have determined to let the law lake its course with out hindrance. The conference was held at the home of Mrs. John King, a half mile from Round Oak. and she. two other sisters, and her brother, At. S. Simmons, a shoe store proprietor of Macon, were present. They further agreed that none of them should ever visit Mrs. Kathrine King, and. in fact, to east her out of their lives as much as possible. ■‘lf Kathnne were not guilty, we would spend every dollar we have in the hope of saving her,” declar ed Mrs. John King, “but we feel that she has disgraced us and her children as well, and she need not expect any assistance from us. We would rather that she should die than for her to spend the remain der of her natural life in the pen itentiary. It will be better for her children to say that she is dead rather than to say that she is wear ing convict’s clothes. If hanging is the penalty for her crime, then she should hang. We all think that way, and I don’t believe that anything could change us. We never expect to see her again.” Special Court Term Not Likely. There-is little likelihood of a special term of the Jones county superior court being called for the trial of Mrs. King and Jesse Nick Wilburn, the confessed murderers of the former’s husband, James King, who was shot with his own gun on December 12. The next term of court is scheduled for the first Monday in April, and it is believed that Judge James B. Park will wait until then to dispose of this case. It is believed that a trial at this time would intensify public feeling, which at present is strong and unconcealed in Jones county. A .reporter for The Georgian, who visited Grays. Bradleys, Wayside, Janies and Round Oak, saw groups of men on nearly every corner, and all of them were discussing the murder of Jim King. The consensus of opinion is that the crime was the worst in the history of Jones county, and that the confessed murderers should pay the extreme pen alty. Just now there is little sympathy for Mrs. King and none for Wilburn, her accomplice. Community Still Shocked by Crime. The indignation at the startling rev elations concerning the murder of the planter is not any greater than the shock under which the community still appears to labor. The confession of Mrs King literally dumfounded the county. On every hand expressions of surprise are heard that she should have committed such a crime. The Kings are rated, in the rural vernacular, as "fine people" and "first class folks." Mrs. King's people also stand high in the esteem of the com munity. and they appear to be much above the general strata of country folk What hurts Mrs. King’s relatives most of all is that she confesses to an affection for Wilburn. This is pa - tleularly the view taken by Mrs. John King, a sister. Sheriff Charles Roberts ays he will keep Wilburn in the Bibb county jail until the day of the trial. Wilhurh was saved from a mob Thursday night only by a ruse and hurried work on the putt of the sheriff. He advocates deferring the trials until the regular term of court. If either Wilburn or Mrs. King,hang, they will be the first to die on the gal lows In Jones county since 1885. and she will be the Hist woman to hang In Georgia since 1X74 GANG OF THIEVES POISONED.

NEW YORK. Dec 30.—The great strike of garment workers that is ex pected to involve 125,000 men and worn- • en In this city was inaugurated here to day in a driving rainstorm. More than 1,000 drenched pickets took their stations at as many facto ries at 7 a. m., and notified all tho workers arriving that the tight for high er wages and improved working condi tions had begun. Reports to union head quarters stated the strike order wjp generally obeyed, and President Ricket, of the United Garment. Workers, pre dicted that by night 80,000 would bo out. New York's $205,532,727 annual out put of men’s ready-made clothing has been completely tied up, according to strikers, and if the struggle Is success ful here it will be extended to other large cities of the country. Forty thousand women, under the leadership of Rose Schneiderman, probably will join the strtkers. A spokesman for the four thousand employees involved said that the em ployees would refuse to deal with the. United Garment Workers of America, under whose auspices the strike will l>»> called. The demand for the strikers is foi an increase from 15 to 20 per cent in wages, an eight-hour day and the abolition of tenement house work. ■ Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont and Mrs. Rose Astor Stokes are said to be planning to co-operate with the women workers. According to this report, they will en deavor to get the Ladies’ Waist an<J Dressmakers union to join in the de mand for in increase of pay. The waist makers are expected to strike within ten days, affecting 70,000 workers. Insurance May Not Be Paid to Anyone Tin $2,000 life insurance policy fes which Mrs. King plotted the murder of her husband probably will never be> paiil to any one. Certainly it will not be paid to her. even though she escape the scaffold. A leading Atlanta insurance official today quoted a famous ease on this point. "The McEwen ease, in Virginia, was exactly tike this," he said. "McEwen, then mayor of a small city, murdered a person whose life was insured in McEwen's favor. McEwen was hanged. When the point of payment of the In surance to McEwen’s heirs was raised the courts ruled that the company could not pay the policy, even If it desired to do jo, as such a payment would bn against public policy. "In case this company should desire to pay the King policy to the children, of thd dead man, instead of his wife, sho was named as the beneficiary, the other policyholders might Interfere on tin- plea that the claim had matured through fraud and that their interests would suffer through its payment. "It a de'icate question and one few lawyers would care to answer off hand. The McEwen case brought an entirely new point before the courts and th* ruling upon it might not be followed in this state.”
