Taf's Offer of Battleship to Take
Him to Panama Is Declined.
Washington, D. C. It became
known here Sunday that President
elect Wilson has declined to accept
President Taft's offer to place at his
lisnosal one of the navy's big bat
tleships to make a trip to the Pana
ma canal zone.
It i3 understood that Mr. Wilson,
while expressing a strong desire of
seeing the work on the canal and ap
preciation of the president's thought
fulness, wrote that, with the New Jer
sey legislature about to meet, his du
ties as governor would make it im
possible for him to leave the country.
As President Taft himself is con
templating a trip to the isthmus in the
near future, it has been suggested that
he and the president-elect might meet
there.
Balkan Credit Is Good.
New York Qeorge A. Crater, Jr.,
who has homes in London and San
Francisco, arrived here on the steam
ship Cedric from Liverpool. He said
that he had represented London finan
cial interests in negotiating . the loan
to the Balkan states in their war with
Turkey. The Balkan countries, he de
clared, had gotten all the money they
wanted at 3 per cent and could get as
much more as they desired. This in
dicated, he pointed out, the feeling of
security of the European bankers in
the face of world war talk.
Turks Disregard Armistice.
Cettinje, Montenegro Notwith
standing that an armistice had just
been concluded, the Turks from Tara
bosch made a heavy attack against the
Montenegrin front. In accordance
with orders, the Montenegrins refused
to return the Turkish fire, which did
no damage. The Montenegrin troops
received the news of the armistice
with great discontent. The army was
awaiting a general offensive move
ment for the capture of Scutari.
Montana Favors Washington Plan.
Butte, Mont. A committee repre
senting labor organizations of the
state, including the State Federation
of Labor and the Western Federation
of Miners, which has been in session
ur-a n rliHPiiss labor legislation, has
Ubl " "
drafted a workman's compensation bill
closely resembling that now m enect

will be presented at the coming legis
