ACTION OF GREECE PUZZLES
Final Tcace Treaty1 May Be Drawn
" Jn London France Exerts Influ
ence to Bring Fifth Belliger
ent Into Agreement.
LONDOX. Dec. 3. The protocol ar
ranging an armistice "was signed late
today by the Turkish and Bulgarian
delegates, the latter representing also
Bervla and Montenegro. Trior to this
there had been a long sitting of the
Turkish council of Ministers to con
sider fresh proposals submitted by the
allies.
Apparently the Greek delegate did not
sign the protocol. At present nothing
Is known definitely on this point or of
the terms of the armistice as revised
today.
The refusal of Greece to sign the
armistice' Is susceptible of different in
terpretations. Holdout y Greece- Not Vital.
In the first place, as a tacit armistice
has been In existence more than a
week, it Is not Impossible that the ne
gotiations may have served to bring
about an agreement on the general
principles of the peace terms, such as
-would promise the speedy arrangement
of a peace treaty when the conference
meets, as Is now expected, in London.
In this case the fact that Greece is
standing out from the peace protocol
would not be of great Importance.
In the second place the Greek absten
tion may mean a serious split among
the allies, arising from jealousies con
cerning thevpossesion of Salonlki and
the Insistence of the Greeks on the
capitulation of Adrlanople, Scutari and
Janlna.
Other factors that may influence the
situation are to be found in the fact
that Turkey recently sought to con
clude a separate treaty of peace with
Greece, that Bulgaria aparently is not
unwilling to enter into an alliance with
Turkey and that the allies are de
sirous that Turkey shall enter the Bal
kan Customs League.
There is a rumor In Sofia that a
Suggestion has been made to substi
tute Roumania for Greece In the Bal
kan League. It seems clear from the
report that Bulgaria will Ignore the
Greek offer to land an army in Galli
poll peninsula and to send her fleet
io attack the Dardanelles, that the re
lations between Greece and Bulgaria
are greatly strained, and these signs
of dissension among the allies leave
the situation full of dangerous "pos
sibilities. France Would Influence Greece.
It is reported that France is trying
to persuade Greece to adopt a less un
yielding attitude. It Is understood that
financial pressure and the exhaustion
of their forces had much to do with the
willingness of Bulgaria and Servia to
conclude . peace, and in this respect
Greece, which secured her victories
with less expense, is better able to
continue hoFtllltles.

get it is the experience ' of Casper

PARDON POLICY DEFENDED
South Carolina Executive Says He
Finds Conditions in Prisons Fear
ful Governor Baldwin Fa
vors Whipping Post.
RICHMOND, Va., Dec. 3. In the
name of the State of South Carolina,
Governor Blease served notice to the
Governors' conference here today that
lynchers of negro assailants of white
women In his state would go un
punished. Governor Blease warmly defended
his use of pardoning power as well as
declaring that in 22 months he had
pardoned or paroled approximately 400
persons and that he hoped the number
at the end of the second term would
be 800.
"I have said all over South Caro
lina and I say it again now," he de
clared, "that I will never order out
the militia to shoot down their neigh
bors and protect a black brute who
commits the nameless crime against a
white woman.
Lynchers Not 'to Be Tried.
"Therefore, in South Carolina let It
be understood that when a negro as
saults a white woman, . all that is
needed is that they get the right man
and they who get him will neither
need nor receive a trial."
Governor Blease justified the use he
had made of his pardoning power, he
said, by conditions he had found in
penal institutions in the .state.
"I walked through the penitentiary
of South Carolina," he said, "and found
it a tuberculosis Incubator, where poor
devils were dying at their tasks,
making money for other people; poor
devils who had no choice but to stand
and work or take the lash. Just the
other day, Jim Roberts, a negro from
Charleston, stopped me as I was walk
ing through and respectfully asked
permission to speak to me. He told
me that he had been kept in jail 22
years for stealing a 327 watch.
Thieve Are Pardoned.
"I said: 'If you are telling me the
truth you will eat your Christmas
dinner with your folks at home.' He
said: 'Governor, I have no folks.'
Then," I replied, 'you will eat it away
from here." And he will. Another
negro had served 11. years and 7
months for stealing 39; a judge wrote
to me that he had sentenced to death

said Governor Marshall today in his
address on "The Personal , Touch," be
fore the Indianapolis Council of Wo
men. "I think there is no one in this

Control of Central Pacific May

Steps on Behalf of Southern Pacific
Stockholders Are Taken Wall
Street Unable to Find
Its Bearings. '
NEW TORK, Dec. 3. Not even a ten
tative plan to divorce the Union Pacific
and Southern Pacific railways, in con
formity with the Supreme Court's dis
solution order, was evolved at a pro
tracted meeting of the Union Pacific
executive committee today, according
to Chairman Lovett, of the Harrlman
lines.
Banking Interests in the Harriman
properties, as represented by President
Vanderlip, of the Na'tional City Bank,
and Mortimer L. Schiff. of Kuhn, Loeb
& Co., attended the meeting, but de
clined to enter into any public dis
cussion of the-court's decree, except
to say that the mandate would be car
ried out within the time prescribed.
Single Line of Comfort Found.
It is taken for granted that the con
ferees devoted much of their time to
that part of the Supreme Court's de
cision wherein it Is intimated that the
Union Pacific might so readjust its af
fairs as to retain control of the Cen
tral Pacific. This part of the decree
is almost the one crumb of comfort
vouchsafed the Union Pacific, although
it is realized that such a plan is sure
to meet with strong opposition on the
part of the independent Southern Pa
ciflo shareholders. . .
'"Steps' to behalf of Southern Pacific
stockholders were taken today when,
according to announcement, a commit
tee consisting of James N. Wallace,
chairman; Henry Evans, J. Horace

Pedestrian Finds Her Late on Cold
JTlg-ht Seeking Place to Sleep
Under Trees la Park.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 3. (Special.)
Little 7-year-old Katherine Miller,
who left her fashionable . apartment
home here yesterday morning after
scrawling in bold, uneven letters upon
her little slate, "I am going away off,"
was found wandering in the residence
district of Oakland late last night.
She was found, by a pedestrian, who
saw the child looking for a place to
sleep under a sheltering tree in a
park. The air was cold and the golden-haired
wanderer was dressed light
ly in a little checkered gingham gown
without any hat, but she did not mind
that a bit. She knew that she lived
In San Francisco, but she had started
out to see the world and did not see
why anybody should Interfere with
her plans. When the Btranger took
the child to the police station she set
up a lusty protest.
Mrs. Miller took Katherine to a mov
ing picture show on Fillmore street
Sunday night. Among the. "movies"
was the story of a little girl, a little
older than Katherine, who waa mis
treated at home and ran away. For
a while she slept under trees and in
haystacks, until finally she was found
by a wealthy man, who decided to
adopt her.
All day yesterday her father, H. F.
Miller, and the San Francisco police
kept up a search for the child, but
failed to find any trace of her.
COLONEL GETS 11 VOTES
California Tabulution Indicates How
Electors Will Be Divided.
SACRAMENTO, Dec. 3. Provided no
more court decisions affect the canvass
of votes and assuming the corrections
which probably will have to be made in
the Los Angeles County returns, when
audited, do not materially change the
results of the official canvass in the
south, figures tabulated today by Sec
retary Jordan indicate the election of
two Democrats and 11 Roosevelt Pro
gressives as Presidential electors for
California.
The audit on all counties but Los
Angeles and the result of the canvass
by the Board of Supervisors there show
that the. leading Roosevelt Progressive
and. Democratic electoral candidates" In
the state at large received the follow

JOLIET, 111., Dec. 3. Convicts lauded
and applauded like children today
when the first series of motion-picture
entertainments was given at the State
Prison by Warden Murphy. Two com
edies and one Alpine scene were shown.
Only a few of the prisoners ever had
seen a motion picture, many of the
spectators being long-term men who
had spent years behind the bars be
fore - the "little theaters" came into
vogue.
Similar entertainments will be given
weekly. Only prisoners with good rec
ords will be permitted to view the pic
ture's. All films will be censored and
none dealing with crime will be shown.

Rigid enforcement of Inspection laws

Jeanne Provost, the actress, to M. Firpo.
The wedding, ring, instead of being of
