which were as follows;
First, the province of Adrianople to

of Turkey.
Second, Macedonia to be converted
into a principality with Salontki as Its
Capital. The principality to be under
the suzerainty of the Sultan of Tur-

by the Balkan allies snd nominated by
the Sultan of Turkey. This prince to
be a Protestant and from a neutral

Third. Albania to be autonomous un-
der the sovereignty of the Sultan and
governed by a prince of the Imperial
ttoman family, who is to be chosen
for a term of five years, with the pos-
sibility of a renewal of bis appoint-
ment.
Fourth, all the Islands In the Aegean

of the peace conference today brought
LONDON, Doe. M.—The brief session
the Balkan delegatee to their feet in
protest against the counter-proposals
put forward by Rechad Pasha in be-
half of the Ottoman Government. Tur-
key's maximum demands are ooneid-
ered very sweeping, and when adjourn-
ment was taken to Monday afternoon
it was evident that ths Turks must
lower their demands greatly or con-
sent to negotiate on a basis of the
terms proposed by ths allies.
If they attempt to stand by their
guns or resort to strategy, the alites
may break the negotiations. It is
ocnsidored not Improbable that Turkey
desires this, with the hope of inter-
vention by the powers, which would
lead to a European conference or me-
diation The plenipotentiaries could
then say to the Mussulman world that
they yielded to the pressure of all Eu-
rope.
The allies will not agree to the ac-
ceptance of mediation, unless it le un-
gderstood that mediators must respect
the territorial concessions.
Americans who followed the Russo-
Japanese negotiations at Portsmouth,
when the difficulty of Inducing Russia
to renounce Korea, Port Arthur and
Dalny seemed unsurmountable, will not
be surprised st what is occurring in
London. Although the territories un-
1 der dispute are smaller, the 1nterests
affected and involved are greater and
more complicated, having relation to
practically the whole of the Eastern.

INDIANAPOLIB. Ind , Dec. The United States Government with stern
and decisive swittnesa, today took into its ponseesion thirty-eight labor of-
ficlals convicted of conspiracy of promoting explosions on non-union work
throughout the land, of aiding in the destruction which brought less of life
at Loe Angeles, CaL, and of carrying on a roign of terror, declared to be un-
paralleled in the history of the country.
Almost the entire executive staff of ths International Association of
Bridge and Structural Iron/Workers was convicted. Only two officials of that
union now remain out of jail. At the head of the list of those convicted stands
Frank M Ryan, the president.
It was of this union with 11,000 members, that John J. McNamara was
secretary-treasurer, while he conducted the dynamitings out of which the
present convictions grew.
Today's convictions, coming on a scale unprecedented in a Federal Court
were an aftermath of the killing of twenty-one persona in the blowing up of
the Los Angeles Times building on October 1, 1110. McNamara and hia brother,
James B., the Times dynamiter, are convicts in Callfornla; Ryan and hie fellow
officials, former associates of McNamara, are Federal priaoners here awaiting
sentence.
Two of those convicted were not affiliated with the Iron Work era’ Uypion,
but they were found guilty of joining with the Iron Worker official© In pro-
moting the conspiracy.
one of these Io Olaf A. Tveltmo, Ran Franelsco, recognised labor loader on
the Pacific Coast, th© testimony against whom waa that he aided In causing
explostons at Los Angeles, wrote letters about ths explosion, and that he aided
in concealing evidence- wanted In Callfornia. Ha ia necretary of the Callfornia
Building Trades Council Hiram R. Kline, Mundo, Ind., the member of another
union, convicted, was formerly an organizer fur the United Brotherhood of
Carpenters and Joiners in Detroit.
Another token of Los Angeles explosions came in the conviction of J. 1.
Munsey, who was charged by the Government with harboring James B. Mo-
Namara for two woeks in Halt Lnke City while that dynamiter was fleeing from
the scene of hia crime.
Many of those convicted were charged with knowing only of local explon-
ions on the contractors who refused to recognise the union, but were thus
brought Into the general conspiracy, Ryan, John T. Butler, vice president of
the union, Buffalo, Eugene A. Clancy, Ran Francisco; Frank C. Webb. New
Yoik; Michael J. Young, Boston; Philip A. Cooley, New Orleans; Henry W.
Lgleitner, Denver, and Charles N Beum, Minneapolln, wsre all eonvieted as
having appropriated out cf the union's funds $1000 a month with whieh Me-
Namara paid for explosions.
Herbert n Hockin, whs resigned as secretary of the union, a few weeks
ago, waa branded as the Iago" of the eonapfracy. In having helped te inntt-
gacethe plots and employing Ortie E. MeManigal o carry them out, while after-
