LONDON. Dec 1. The signature of
the protocol of the armistice between
the Balkan allies and Turkey which
was expected today, was postponed until
Tuesday, as the Greek delegate has not
received the necessary authority from
his government.
It is rumored that in addition to the
Bulgarian troops just landed at De
deaghatch, another large force of Greek
troops from Salonlkl is at sea, and it
-is suggested that Greece may delay
signing the armistice in order to al
low these troops to arrive at their des
tination, which is supposed to be the
Gulf of Saros, in Galllpolls.
Dally Rations Promised.
It Is expected the armistice will ex
tend for about a fortnight if necessary
and cover the whole field of operations.
The difficulty with respect to the be
leaguered garrisons of Adrianople and
Scutari is being surmounted by per-
mining them to receive daily rations
during the armistice.
The plenipotentiaries appear to have
been concerned so far solely in arrang
ing armistice, but the peace conference
is expected to begin Immediately,
probably at Sofia.
Bulgaria la Moderate.
As Bulgaria already has shown
greater forbearance than has been
looked for in waiving her demand for
the surrender of Adrianople, while at
the same time Turkey cannot hope to
obtain better conditions by continuing
the struggle, a strong feeling is enter-
talned that the last shot in the war will
have been fired when the armistice is
signed.
There is little doubt that the peace
negotiations will be difficult and pro
tracted.
The question of holding a European
ambassadorial conference is undecided,
but the international situation Is much
more peaceful. The Servian govern
raent denies the reported preparations
for a conflict with Austria, while the
Austrian press is much less bellicose.
Turkeys Position Favorable.
A Constantinople dispatch to the
Daily Telegraph quotes the Turkish
Foreign Minister as saying that the
protocal of the armistice contains no
statement of general conditions of
peace but merely provides for a mil
itary status quo.
The Minister further declares that
Turkey is In a position to negotiate
favorable terms, because Tchatalja has
been rendered impregnable.
In conclusion he said:
"For the moment only two things are
In view the signature of the protocal
of the armistice and the immediate

coalition as to the conditions of peace.
Bulgaria Claims Chief Credit.
"A Brlndisi dispatch to the Telegraph

Leaders of Political Parties Said to
.Have Divided $10,000 in
"Pickings" Annually.
PHILADELPHIA. Pa, Dec. 1. (Spe
cial.) With the appointment of Ed
ward B. Crane, a wealthy architect, as
superintendent of Independence Hall at
a salary of J 800 a year, the Mayor has
taken a first step to remove this posi
tion from the hands of politicians and
place the hall, all Its records and the
Liberty Bell in the hands of a non
salaried commission of public-spirited
citizens.
The pickings from the place are sup
posed to have been in the neighbor
hood of 110,000 a year and were sup
posed to have been shared with leaders
of the political organization.
The graft was Investigated and it
was found that a fee of admission was
charged after the place had been closed
for the day. This went into the hands
of others than the City Treasurer. It
was found also that the sale of medals
and mementos from the hall had been
worked to excess, and that supposed
relics from the hall had been manufac
tured and sold at about 500 per cent
profit. - , .
FEDERAL PLANJS ADOPTED
Chemawa Indfan Students Organize
for Self-Government.
CHEMAWA. Or- Dec L (Special.)
The reorganization of the federal
government of the United States of
Chemawa has been perfected along the
plans that Supervisor GUI. of the In
dian service established last year. The
plans for student self-government as
organized by Supervisor Gill have been
approved by the best-known men and
prominent educators of the unnea
States.
Under the plana the federal gov
Arnmnnt has the -following: officers:
President, vice-president, secretary of
state, attorney-general and chlet jus
tice. The congress at this time consists
of the entire student body and holds
meetings the first Monday night of
each month. The congress has power to
pass laws for the betterment of the stu
dents in social ways and to enforce
discipline in matters where the good of
the students is concerned. No act of
the congress ia a law unless approved
bv the sucerlntendent.
The different dormitories are being
organized and are governed as states,
each dormitory having a governor, sec
retary of state, attorney-general and
chief justice. ,The governor has the
power to appoint officers needed to
carry on the work. The state has au
thority in one building, business be
tween states being settled by federal
authorities.
Each schoolroom has been organized
as' a city government, electing the dif
ferent city officials under supervision
of the teachers in charge of the grade.
The Indian boys and girls are being
tausrht that city government is espe
cially Important, owing to the fact that
only a few citizens are lnterestea in me
affairs of the city, while all are inter
ested In National affairs, which are
considered of greater consequence.
APPLE SHIPMENTS OVER
Afiiton Fruitgrowers Union Reports
Output of 80 0 Carloads.
WALLA WALLA, Wash- Dec. 1.
(Special.) This week or next will see
the last of the shipments of apples
from the Milton Fruitgrowers' Union,
according to N. W. Mumford. manager,
today. -
Average shipments during the season
have been from 10 to 15 carloads a day,
and the apples have gone all over the
United States, some even crossing the
water. Shipments will total about 700
carloads, and, in addition, must be fig
ured 100 carloads of local shipments,
the total output this year being $00
carloads. .
Practically all the fruit this year has
been sold outright, the Milton union
keeping two agents traveling over the
East for this purpose. Only about 60
carloads of the apples are In cold stor
age at the present time, and of the
fruit yet to be shipped most of it has
been sold.
Manager Mumford believes that the
Milton union will make a better. show
ing In this respect than any other in
the Northwest. The receipts from the
sale of the apples have not been com
puted, as all the figures were not re
ceived. The average price is consider
ably below that of last year, however.

ing Orozco Reappears Af-
ter Long Illness.
MEXICO CITY, Dec. 1. Convinced
that numerous bands of rebels in the
states of Durango. coahulla and South
ern Calhuahua are continuing their op
erations merely because they believe
surrender would mean summary execu
tion under the suspension of guaran
tees, Rafael Hernandez, the new Min
ister of the Interior, announced today
that he would attempt to gain for them
a promise of amnesty. '
Chehe Campos and Benjamin Ar
guado, officers in Orozco's organiza
tion, are the chief rebel leaders in
these districts, and several engage
ments were fouifht last w.eek, the Gov
ernment as usual announcing vic
tories. These, and allied leaders, have
been making successful raids on small
outposts, managing- for the most part
to evade encounters with superior
forces. The rich country virtually is at
their mercy and the Federal forces are
able to accomplish little more than gar
rison the larger towns.
Ruralea To Attempt Pursuit.
Minister Hernandez is confident the
Rurales, who report to his department,
will be able to operate more effectively
than thn regular troops and with this
object In view, he has conferred with
General de la Vega, Commander in
Chief of the Rurale guard. Hernandez
has issued a general order to the Ru
rales to commandeer horses 'when
needed, giving receipts to the owners
and notifying the Government.
The Rurales have complained that
frequently they are unable to follow
the insurrectos because of wornout
mounts. It -is believed this will pre
vent the rebels from-obtaining horses
and will assure the owners of payment.
Orozco Is Recuperated.
Out of the mass of rumors as to ffie
whereabouts of General Orozco, that
most credited is the report that he
has reappeared at the head of some
hundreds of men east of Ojinaga, in
the state of Chihuahua, after recuperat
ing from .a serious illness. '
The Government professes satisfac
tion at the Improvement in the general
situation. ' In the state of Oaxaca some
diminution of activity Is apparent, as
the result of a campaign of destruc
tion and summary executions.
Throughout the Republic the number
of engagements reported has decreased.

Investors Also Get Black Cat's Ear,
Price $2 5, Warranted to Pos
sess Power to Conjure.
CHICAGO. Dee. 1. George A. Pu-
pausky, a Polish banker-conjurer, re
cently released from the House of Cor
rection, where he was sent by Judge
Landls to serve a six-month's sentence
for selling invisibility ointments and
love charnis, was arrested again to
night. Pupausky sold Anton Loko
rltz, a fellow countryman, a black cat's
ear to make him invisible. Lokorits
gladly paid 325 for the charm, and put
the ear, according to directions, In his
left waistcoat pocket.
Confident in his invisibility. Loko
rits then entered a' saloon with the
proprietor- of which .he was not on
friendly terms. Making sure the charm
was-ln place, he stepped behind the bar
and began to help himself to bottled
goods. The barender Immediately fell
on Lokoritz and hutled him into the
street.
"Why, you can't ee me. How did
you know I was there?" exclaimed Lo
forltz, in bewilderment.
"I saw you all right. Keep out of
there," admonished the bartender.
Lokowitz went 'to Pupausky's house,
thinking something must be amiss. He
did not see the conjurer, but was met
by a woman who heard his complain.
"The trouble is," she said, "that- you
should have had a magic bean. The
cat's ear is no good without 'the bean."
Lokowitz bought a bean and returned
to the saloon. No one noticed him and
he thought that this time he had the
right magic. He went behind the bar
again, but was described without diffi
culty by the bartender, who ejected Lo
koritz more energetically than before.
Another purchaser of a black cat's
ear is sought by the police to testify
against the conjurer.- This man bought
a ' black cat's ear and was run over
soon after by an automobilist. The
man did not make a complaint, bis
friends said, because he was invisible
and could not blame the chauffeur for
not seeing him.

A large number of women in several
Oregon towns will cast their first bal
lots today and Tuesday. City elections
are scheduled, and Indications are that
feminine votes will be much in evi
dence. At Oregon City not only will the
women vote, but they will have oppor
tunity to vote for one of their own sex
for Mayor if they choose to do so. Mrs.
Kate L. Newton is the candidate in
question. Her opponent is Linn E.
Jones. A Treasurer and a Council also
will be chosen.
In Tillamook women took an active
part in the mass nominating conven
tion a week ago, and are expected to
turn .out in force to vote today. The
contending candidates for Mayor are
H. T. Botts, candidate of the temper
ance people, and Mayor J. R. Harter.
Grants Pass Women Interested.
Grants Pass, which has been a suf
frage stronghold, is expected to turn
out a large number ot feminine voters
today. Women have taken an exceed
ingly keen Interest in the preliminary
city campaign.
At Bend, where Mayor George Palmer
Putnam Is running for re-election
against Charles Boyd and S. C. Cald
well, and where election will be held
Tuesday, the contest Is keen. Mrs.
Putnam, who has been visiting rela
tives in the Atlantic States, cut short
her visit when she learned that suf
frage would take effect in Oregon at
once, and made a flying trip across the
continent in order to vote for her hus
band and to counsel her women friends
to do likewise. Bend voters also will
choose three Councilmen.
Albany will not elect a Mayor at to
day's election. Three Councilmen are
to be chosen, but there are no contests,
and the count is therefore expected to
be somewhat tame, aside from Interest
in the women voters' debut. John H.
Simpson is a candidate for re-election
to the Council from the First ward,
and Fred T. Blount and R. A. Smith are
the nominees in the Second and Third
wards respectively. A new charter and
a bicycle ordinance are to be voted on.
Aurora Has Slnsle Ticket.
Junction City and Aurora are two
other Willamette Valley towns whose
women voters have manifested much
Interest In public affairs, and are ex

today. At Aurora there is but one
ticket in the field. It contains the
names of H. 1. Bents for Councilman
and A. M. Fry for Treasurer.
A red hot campaign will come to a
close with Tuesday's election at New
port. Here the liquor question is the
Issue, and women have taken an active
part on behalf of the "drys."

GRANTS PASS, Or, Dec 1. (Spe

has been waged in various wards of
the city by the three candidates for
Mayor is growing warmer as the time
approaches for the voters to cast their
ballots.
Besides the ward meetings others
have been held in the opera-house to
standing room only. Large circulars
appeared on streets yesterday showing
how the city had been economical dur
ing the last year and had saved saveral
thousand dollars. Tonight flaming cir
culars contradicting the statement were
being thrown about The authors of
the circulars forgot to attach their
names, and It is said this is a direct
violation of the corrupt practices act.
- R. G.' Smith, the present Mayor, has
virtually made all of his campaign, and
Is resting upon last year's record for
re-election. C. L. Hobart is backed by
the business element and numerous
friends who have faith In his ability
to unite political factions. T. F, Hanley
is making his campaign upon what his
friends have promised. He starts in
his race with a,sol!d vote from the So
cialists, who have indorsed him.
