Turkey's decis ion, as indicated by dispatches from Constantinople tonight, refusing to cede Adrianople and the Aegan Is lands, it is believed here, will lead to the resumption of hostilities within a week. The Balkan allies, after consider ing the situation among themselves earlier in the day, had already decid ed to wait until the middle of next week .-for the answer of the porte to the joint note of the powers, and, if then the reply were not received or were unsatisfactory, to address a communication to the Turkish dele gation in the form of an ultimatum, allowing Turkey 48 or 72 hours for a final decision. Should Turkey at that time be un able or unwilling to come to the al lies' terms, the Balkan' delegates de cided that a rupture of the peace conference was - inevitable. Sofia, Belgrade and Cettinje would denounce the armistice, and in four days the war would be resumed The allies do not see the possibil ity of such proposals from Turkey or the powers as would allow of a re sumption of- negotiations, unless the porte openly declares its readiness to give up Adrianople So far, the in structions of the Bulgarian delegates are. categorial on this subject, and do not admit of a discussion of the pro posal that Turkey retain Adrianople, even of dismantling the fortifications or continuing negotiations on the other negotiations of peace leaving the MAIL CARRIR WINS SPECIAL PRIZE Another Special Contest to be An nounced in Few Days Partic ulars Given in Enterprise Automobile votes are flying aroundi as fast as snow flakes these daysi The leaders in the great race for the big touring car has nearly a million votes to his credit, while half a score of others are crowding him fast for first honors.

PROLOGUE OF "THE COWBOY FROM TEXAS", This is an interesting, 'exciting and catchy little comedy plot, in which a romantic, novel-reading young lady falls in love with the hero of her story, who is a cowboy from the wild and wooly West. She insists that her sweetheart shall become a cowboy, but he positively declines. In the meantime he invents a story of a friend in town, just from Texas, who will probably answer all requirements. He then impersonates Jh$ C0wboy, and with his wild rough actions completely takes the fancy of a cowboy out of the young woman (he incidentally introduces a singing and dancing, lariat-spinning spec ialty,) changes costume and returns ostensibly to bid his sweetheart good -by saying that he is off for Texas to become a cowboy for her sake. She. begs him to re main homeland they are finally ertgaged to be married. This act is up to the standard and out of the ordinary, replete with singing and danoing and classy wardrobe. I might add too, that this same act played here three years ago to packed houses.
