PRINCETON, N. J., Feb. 6. President-elect
Wilson has not yet decid
ed what legislation he will recommend
to the extra session of Congress be
sides the tariff.- This statement was
made by Mr. Wilson when he was
asked tonight concerning reports
from Washington to the effect that
he would . .urge the next Congress to
take up currency reform.
It is known that Mr. Wilson con
siders the tariff, anti-trust legislation'
and currency reform as the three
principal subjects upon which the
platform pledges should be carried
out as quickly as possible. He ex-,
pects to learn from party leaders in
Congress just what would be practi
cal to take up at the extra session.
Mr. Wilson said he would make no
decisions until after he was inaugur
ated. . The Governor spent the dy here
working on his inaugural address. He
took a long walk in the chilly air and
Joseph R. Wilson, of the Nashville
Banner, called on him tonight, leav
ing at a late hour for Washington.

MEDFORD, Or., Feb 6. A new
wrinkle in criminal annals, in which
a burglar systematically kept books
on what he stole and what he ex
pected tc steal has been unearthed by
the local police force in the capture
of Frank Kelly, a young man of 23,
who has resided here for some time
on West Eleventh Street.
Kelly, after his capture, made a
full confession and produced his
"books". A list of all he has stolen
together with the dates on which he
broke into the places, was found.
Opposite the list is the price bf each.
At his home at 710 West Eleventh
Street, the officers found more than
two wagon loads of loot.
Kelly's list of stolen articles is
unique. It looks like a bill for gro
ceries and is very complete. He has
"accounts" with Warner, Wortman &
Gore, B. & C. Cash Store, Public Li
brary, where he stole oil, Big Pines
Lumber Company and a number of
orchard companies in the valley.
Sues on Note.
Carl Schreckenbach has filed suit
against Anna Schroeder for $300, al
leged to be due on a proniissory note.
The plaintiff avers that the money
was lent by his wife, who, before her
marriage was Hana Zimmerman.

SCHOOL WITH SON
CHICAGO,, Feb. 6. An unusual
companionship between mother and
son was ended last night when S. M.
Collins, a freshman in the University
of Illinois, died in his home here.
The mother was also a student in the
same classes with her boy. They were
registered in the School of Agricul
ture. When young Collins. was preparing
to go to the university last Fall, his
mother said: "I'll go with you."
In Champaign they lived in the
same house; had adjoining seats in
the classrooms; studied together and
attended university functions and
theatres together.
The companionship attracted wide
attention in the university where the
two became known to the students
as "the pals," and the boy as the
"model son." Mrs. Collins will not
return to her studies.
SOFIA, Bulgaria, Feb. 6. The Turk
ish army occupying the Peninsula of
Galliopoli and defending the Darda
nelles suffered a defeat at the hands
of the Bulgarian troops to the south
of the River Kavak Wednesday, ac
cording to a statement by the Bul
garian War Office. ..v
The Ottoman troops are sjia to be
retreating in disorder toward Bulair,
a Bmall town to tne northeast of the
city of Galliopoli, pursued by the Bul
garians. The statement concludes that as
the result of this success of the Bul
garian troops the whole coast of the
Sea of Marmora as far as Bulair is
now in the hands of the Balkan allies.
The main object of the Bulgarian
armies, apart from the reduction of
the fortress of Adrianople, was dis
closed in dispatches given out by the
War Office Thursday. The plan is to
reach the Dardanelles Strait and clear
them for. the passage of the Greek
fleet into the Sea of Marmora. Then
the Greeks will attack Constantinople
directly from the sea.
From the reports of the fighting to
the north of the peninsula of Gallio
poli it can be seen that one column
of King Ferdinand's troops is march
ing straight for the city of Galliopoli.
It has occupied already the villages
of Charkeui, Kavak and Bulair, which
are on the neck of th peninsula. It
has not, hpwever, come into contact
with any large force of Turkish troops
of which there are said to be 70,000
on the Galliopoli Peninsula. The
guns of the Dardanelles forts also can
be trained toward the land side.
