BALKAN LEAGUE OPENS
PEACE NEGOTIATIONS!
Fearful Havoc Wrought by the-
Bulgarian Batteries Among |
Turkish Troops.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 19.- An
eight-hour armistice to allow the Turks
and the Bulgarians assailing the Turk
ish lines to bury their dead went into
effect at noon today. All artillery fire
ceased at that hour.
A dispatch from Sofia says the first
step toward a suspension of hostilities
was taken by the Balkan league today.
Premier Guechoff, acting for the Bul
garian government, informed the Turk
ish government that Bulgaria has ap
pointed plenipotentiaries to represent
the government in negotiations for an
armistice, preparatory to the opening of
a peace party. It is indicated that the
same Bulgarian envoys treating with
Turkey in the armistice negotiations
will negotiate final peace terms for the
Bulgarian government.
Bulgar Batteries Raise
Havoc in Turk Ranks.
With the Turks apparently holding
their own, the third day’s fighting in
the final battle which will decide the
fate of the Ottoman empire was ush
ered in at dawn with a furious can
nonade which began in the center and
gradually spread over the entire Cha
talja fines of defense.
News has been received here that
50.000 soldiers of Crown Prince Alex
ander’s Servian army, which Captured
Monastic, will start for Constantinople
immediately and join the attack upon
the Chat al ja lines.
Bulgarian batteries have done fright- ■
ful havoc among the Turkish soldiers. {
as is shown by the constant stream of I
wounded carried into this city from tlie ;
front.
Many of the wounded died en route 1
to tills city and were cast into burial j
trenches on the way.
All residents of the city, including j
foreigners and refugees and the ma- j
rines and bluejackets from the foreign ’
warships, are now exposed to cholera ,
from the public water supply. Lake j
Derkos, from which the drinking |
water supply is drawn, has become
contaminated, and the Internationa!
health board has forbidden its use.
Wounded soldiers from the front to
day gave a graphic account of the
fighting Sunday and Monday.
Turks Stand Firm;
Bulgars Repulsed.
The Bulgarian batteries opened their
terrific attack at daybreak Sunday.
General Savoff. the Bulgarian com
mander-in-chief, had massed a heavy
body of infantry opposite the Turkish
left flank at the Lake of Biyuk Chek
meji during the preceding night, and as
the sun rose these soldiers marched for
ward in battle formation under the fire
of their artilhery. The attempt to turn
the Turkish western wing was foiled
by artillery. Ah soon as the advance
began, a Turkish cruiser lying in Biyuk
Chektnejl and all tlie western Turkish
batteries opened a cannonade against
the Bulgars, driving them back.
At the same time the Bulgars began a
fierce bombardment of the Turkish cen
ter at Chatalja, where the Orient rail
way line bends northeast and then
southwest to avoid mountainous routes
upon which tlie Turks have forts. On
either side from the forks are redoubts
with heavy guns mounted. Behind tlie
forts the Turkish infantry guarding the
center was concentrated. The Bulgars
had the range of the Turkish camp, and
shells continually burst above the
troops, which caused great uneasiness
among the reserves.
At 3 o’clock Sunday afternoon Bul
garians began an assault on the Turk
ish works at Chatalja. moving slowly
across the wide valley with fixed bayo
nets, under a. murderous fire. The Bul
gars acted bravely, but could not with
stand tlie hail of steel which fell among
them, and they were driven back, leav
ing many dead and dying on the field.
As the Bulgarians withdrew, a huge
column of smoke rose above the vil
lage of Izzedin in the valley. It had
been set on fire by shells and \vas con
sumed.
At dusk the Turkish cruiser Hanii
dires crept close into the shore at Kali
kralia and began shelling the Bulga
rian camp, a mile inland.
According to the general accounts,

ATLANTA PHONE
IS RESUMED
C. Jerome Simmons Files Ap
peal to Escape Payment of
$139,921 Alleged Notes.
The struggle so the ownership of
the Atlanta Telephone Company was
resmued again today when C. Jerome
Simmons tiled an appeal from the de
cision on the bill of complaint recently
passed upon by Judge M T. Newman.
Tlie appeal was directed to the United
States circuit court of appeals for the
Northern district of Georgia. Epon it
hinges the payment of $139,921.67 which
Simmons is said to owe the Stromberg-
Carlson Telephone Company.
The battle for supremacy in the man
agement of the telephone company be
gan almost a year ago, when Simmons
filed a suit and petition for injunction
in the superior court of Fulton county
seeking to restrain certaiq men whom
he claimed to be representatives of the
Stromberg-Carlson Company from vot
ing stock which he had given as collat
eral for notes.
The case finally was tried by a supe
rior court judge and Simmons lost. The
Stromberg-Carlson Company sued Sim
mons for the amount of the notes he
had given for loans while acting as
manager of the local telephone com
pany and again he lost.
The Stromberg-Carlson people are
now in absolute charge of the telephone
company and Simmons no longer has
anything to do with its management.
“Just Live a Natural Life To Be
Pretty.” Is Advice Given by
Mrs. Gertrude Kelley.
"The secret of feminine loveliness js
not in any system of fads and frills. To
keep her youth and beauty a woman
should live a natural life, an old
fashlAied, wholesome sort of existence
without too much work, without too
much worry and without too much con
cern of herself. Keeping attractive is
no mystery.”
This is the beauty philosophy of Mrs.
Gertrude V. Kelley, of ill West Har
ris street, who was one of the six prize.
winners in the gigantic beauty con
test recently conducted by The New
York American, in which thousands of
charming women from every section of
the United States competed.
On Sunday The New fork American
announced the winners. The first prize,
a month's engagement at the Winter
Garden at a salary of $250, went to a
young woman of Bairdstown, N. J. Five
SIOO medals were awarded, and Airs.
Kelley, who had entered tlie contest in
August from Savannah, was awarded
one of them.
Mother of Two Children.
It is to her calm philosophy of life
that Mrs. Kelley ascribes the charm
that has made her —tlie mother of two
children—a national beauty in a con
test with thousands.
“I have no system," she said, sim
ply; "1 don’t believe in fads or the Lina
Cavalierl kind of secrets of beauty. A
woman will keep her freshness and her
charm as long as she may by living a
natural life. Now, I don’t mean by that
living in the manner the faddist calls
natural, but the sensible way people
have been living for hundreds of years,
without a great deal of worry anil
thought of themselves.”
Mrs. Kelley is confident that women
worry too much; that more feminine
loveliness lost through fretting and
fuming over trifles than in any other
way. She sees real beauty in tran
quillity. in a quiet demeanor that is not
ruffled or broken by every little human
mishap.
Perfect Southern Type.
"I think that 1 owe my prize to the
lovely photograph as much as to any
thing. I had it taken in Savannah last
spring and my friends thought it ex
tremely artistic. In fact, I sent it to
The American because one of my
friends urged me to. I had no idea of
getting a prize.”
Mrs. Kelley is distinctly Southern in
typ“. At least she is the Action writer's
idea of the typical Southern woman—a
woman almost Junoesque, with a mass
of dark, wavy hair wound over a high,
white forehead. Her face is oval, with
the features regular and well molded,
save for a Hint of retrousse in the
nose, a reminder of Irish ancestry. Her
eyes are largo and set wide apart, dark
under dark lashes. Her complexion is
soft and almost t’allfornlan in its col
oring.
The American's contest was open to
all women over eighteen years of age,
the only bar being stage experience.
The preliminary Judges were artists,
Penryn Stanislaus and Harrison Fisher.
In making tlie final awards Sam Ber
nard, the comedian; Ned Weyburn.
Winter Garden stage director; J. C,
Huffman, general stage director for the
Shuberts, and William J. Wilson, a
Shubert stage director, were called in.
Inasmuch as the prize winner was to
appear at the Winter Garden for a
month it was deemed avlsable to have
the judgment of men familiar with
stage types.
"Os course, I would have liked to
have won the first prize," said Mrs. Kel
ley. "but I don’t know how I would
have fared on the stage at the Winter
Garden."

VERDICT HARD BLOW
TO BECKER’S APPEAL
Convicted Policeman Hoped for
Acquittal of Quartet to
Aid His Fight. /
NEW YORK, Nov. 19.—The sou»
young gunmen charged with the assas
sination of Herman Rosenthal on the>
morning of July 16 last were found
guilty of murder in the first degree by a.
jury in the criminal branch of the su
preme court this afternoon.
The jury was out just one hour, hav
ing retired at 1:35 o'clock and returning
at 2:35
At 2:25 o’clock the jury notified the
court tha.t it had reached a vendict, but
Justice Goff could not be found at once.
The defendants —Harry Horowitz,
alias “Gyp the Blood;” Louis Rosen
berg, alias “Dago Frank,” and Ciro
fld, alias “Dago Prank,” and Frank
Muller, alias ‘Whitey I^ewis"—were
taken in the court room from the
Tombs. Their faces showed that they
realized that the jury's quick decision
boded them ill.
Those who heard the justice’s charge
expected a severe verdict. Although
maintaining strict legal impartiality, he
brought out facts from the testimony
which were damaging to the defense.
The verdict against the gunmen was
a severe blow to the case of ex-Poilce
Lieutenant Charles Becker. whose
hopes of a new trial were based on a.
possible acquittal of the gunmen.
Becker was alleged to have hired the
gunmen, through Jack Rose, the state’s
chief witness, to put Rosenthal, the
“squealing gambler,” out of the way
The verdict against the quartet of gun.
men carries with it a penalty of death
in the electric chair.
Attorney Wahle, counsel for the
young gangsters, said after the verdict
that he would continue to fight the case
and attempt to get a new trial.
Justice GofT announced that the four
gunmen would be sentenced tomorrow
at 10:30 o’clock.
At 2:20 o’clock a squad of policemen
were summoned to the criminal courts
building while the jury was deliberat
ing. When Police Captain ’[iemey was
asked the reason, he said:
“You remember what happened in
the court room at Hillsville, VA.”
Following a charge from the court
which was construed as unfavorable to
the defendants, the case of the foui
young gunmen went to the jury at 1:35
o’clock this afternoon.
Attorney Wahle, for the defense, took
exceptions to all refusals of Justice
Goff to ulrge his points on the Jury and
asked to have part of the charge Strick,
en out. The only defendant the charge
seemed to favor in any way was “Dage
Frank.”
As soon as Justice Goff entered the
court this morning the doors were at
once closed and bolted and all entranct
or exit forbidden until he concluded.
Attorney Wahle submitted 67 “re
quests to charge” to the court. The
principal contention in this list was
that If there should be reasonable doubt
in the minds of the Jurors as to the
presence of “Dago Frank” at the seen,
of the shooting all the defendants
should be acquitted.
