The air was full of ru mors of Important developments In the Halkans. Before the session be gan, an official statement discredited the report the allies had sent an ul timatum to Greece demanding tho immediate withdrawal of the diplo mats of the central powers Simul taneously Rotterdam reported a rev olutionary movement afoot In Greece to establish a republic. It was ru mored Venlzelos would head the new regime King fonsiantlne was said to bo in danger of being deposed shortly. Several sources sent reports of va rious landings of allied forces in Greece, with stories Indicating the poMslhllltv of an attack by the Teu tons in Sul.ulkl about to begin. The first intimation that the war council had been called was the ar rival of Premier Hrland of France.

Because of an Ice Jam in the I'olum bia between Cmatllla and Irrtgon the water in the river rose six feet on Monday and though no damage was inflicted the situation caused uneasi ness and speculation as to what the future held in store. The alarming feature of the situ, atlon is the fact there is another Jam in the river a short distance above t'matilla, probably at the rapids. In the event this Jam should give way first and thus let the water through swiftly while the lower Jam held fast there would lie danger of a very swift rise In the river with some damage inevitable. PRISONER ARGUES OWN CASE BEFORE THE JURY For the first time in vears that a Prisoner has asserted his privilege of addressing the jury In his own behalf, ("harlei Duke, Italian contractor charged with obtaining money under false pretenses. Just before noon to day made u personal plea. He had previously testified that he had stud ted three years for the priesthoodand he spoke to the Jurors with much earnestness. The case went to the Jury at 1:45 this afternoon and at 2:15 a verdict of guilty with a recommen dation for mercy was returned. The state put iu evidence this mor. ning six different no-fund checks which the defendant had issued last September. It was the contention of the district attorney that, at the lima of issuing these checks, he knew he had not money enough in the bank to care for them and evidence to this effect waa introduced. Moreover, one witness testified that Duke sold bis concrete equipment on the day be fore he left Pendleton for Portland and San Francisco. Dak- while not denying having written the checks, declared he had no intention of defrauding anyone. In his statement to the Jury he declared that had he been wanting to cheat anyone, he would have left when he was owing several hundreds of dol lars. He offered to make good the checks if he were liberated. His at ti rney. W. M. Peterson, pleaded with the jury to give the young man an other chance, declaring he had been drinking heavily when the checks were written and had no intention of cheating anyone. Duke was arrested in San Francis co where he is said to have gotten In to similar trouble and was brought back here by Sheriff Taylor early last December.
