WILL OF
Grand Council Accepts Bitter
Fate That Ends Empire
in Europe7
Ml CRUCIAL POINT REMAINS
Question of Indemnity ! Expected to
Delay Peace for Few Weeks Pal- .
kan Allies Will Ask for
$2bolooo,boo, -
London, Jan. 22. Plenipotentiaries
of the Balkan kingdoms, are immense
ly pleased pver the decision of the
grand council at Constantin'opie' to ac
cept the advice of the powers. While-
it had become increasingly certain In
the past 48 hours that - the Turkish
elder statesmen were prepared to face
the bitter fate that ends vthe empire's
history as an European nation, It was
hardlv expected they, would register
their decision ..so quickly and. so defi
nitely. " ' .
This is so unuke, the customary
Turkish way that It is thought Turkey
might still have cards up her sleeve.
The Porte's reply : to the Joint note
of the powers will be handed, to the
ambassadors . tomorrow; .however, and
the remainder of ? the . negotiations
leading to the signing, of -ihe peace
treaty, are expected to be ' an' anti-climax.
- . ' ; " - ' ,
One crucial point of ' difference re
mains to be settled in the question of
indemnity. The allies propose to levy
a heavy payment upon the defeated
Nation. They speak of $200,000,000
as an adequate sum." Their, minimum
is an amount equal to the- Turkish j
debts attached to the territories which
they will annex- under the treaty. :
The Turks (are IfkefyLio contest jthe
indemnity strongly, .and: the -bankrupt .;
condition of theiy. country , furnishes
ties with- a potent, -argument f or-.-an-appeal
to thepolegDQatibnsj
over the setlement tf minor-questions
and for the taking over of the con
quered provinces" will , occupy a con
siderable time ' am :. it wtU be some
weeks before the treaty Is signed. ! M.
Xovakovitch, the ex-premier . of Ser
via, said tonight: "The Turks seem
finally to have recognized the faculty
of reasoning, but why today instead
of six weeks ago, as they must pay
what our four armies have been cost
ing all this time? We have not yet
set down figures f for r indemnity, but
we have practically decided on what
basis it is to be calculated and how it
is to be divided among the allies.
tach Balkan State will take : as a
basis the number of-"- soldiers it put
in the field, averaging the cost of each
soldier during the time the army was
on a war footing. Y -
"The sooner Turkev concludes near.fi
the less she will have to pay. The
Powers must help us in this question,
also as the indemnity will be employ
ed to pay the share ".of the Ottoman
flebt falling upon usK proportionately
to the territories we acquire."
Dr. Daneff, head of the Bulgarian
delegation, expressed .- satisfaction
hen congratulated upon the probable
Peace settlement, hut he was of the
opinion that the ; negotiations would
-ra.g along for several weeks more. .'
fremier Venizelos, - of Greece, said
tnat he expected the decision as Tur
key had no other reasonable alterna

(Money Trust Committee Goes Against
Pujo's Wishes and Refuses to
l Alter Decision to Get Mil-
' I ionaire's Testimony.
Wlashington, Jan. 22. An attempt
to alter the Money Trust Committee's
decision to insist uporf an examina
tion of William Rockefeller, despite
his physical condition, was defeated
today in a father stormy session of
the committee. "Against the wishes
of Chairman . Pujo, the committee re
iterated its decision directing him and
Samuel Untermyer, counsel, o make
arrangements fpr Mr. Rockefeller's
examination. - ,
Chairman Pujo announced, after the
executive session- that he would ar
range with the "counsel for Mr. Rocket
feller and endeavor to make the ; ex
amination as soon as the -committee
concludes it oral hearings. He said
he would probably visit Mr. Rocke
feller with Mr. Untermyer next week.
Mr. Rockefeller is now at Palm Beach,
Fla. - . --v'-'
The incident was re-opened by the
appearance of Dr. Walter F, Chappell,
personal physician to .Mr. Rockefel
ler, who verified his afiidavit setting
forth that an examination Cpf his -pa
tient might cause serious, pnysicai
results. , He described at length, Mr.
Rockefeller's ailments. Dr. Chappell's
aDDearance came as a surprise - to
members of the committee and his tes
timony was interrupted by a vigorous
whispered conference which ended in
Chairman Pujo offering to allow any
member of the committee to question
the witness and lpUhe calling of an
executive session at the - close, of the
hearing. v After the execuuve meeting
counsel for Mr. Rockefeller were noti
fied of the committee's decision. .
Following Dr. Chappell's examina
tion, William J. Woollman, of the firm
of J. S. Bache. New York brokers, Tsvas
questioned as to the business methods
of brokerage houses. Mr Untermyer
asked him as to the practice of brok
ers collecting interest on stock car
ried for customers,, after the stock had
been loaned to other customers at in
terests " v -, -"' '
Counsel Untermyer placed : in the
record a mass of statistics relating to
"the ownership of banks in New. York,

WAS IN A STEEL RAIL POOL
Government Secures First Evidence In
Support of Allegation That U. S
, Steel Corporation Was a
. ' Participant
New York, January 22 . William
Ellis Corey, former.-president of the
United States, Steel Corporation, a
witness today in the Federal suit to
dissolve the corporation, furnished the
government with the first testimony
it has heen able to obtain in support
of iits allegation that the corporation
participated in an international steel
rail pool. ' . ; :
, Mr. Corey followed Theodore Roose
velt on the stand, after the latter had
repeated his testimony, given before
the Stanley . Steel Investigating Com
mittee, concerning acquisition of the
Tennessee Coal & Iron Company by
the. corporation during the panic of
19)7.. Colonel Roosevelt, after reite
rating that he had given his sanction
to the deal 'to save the coimtry from
disaster," and after he ' had been ask
ed if he had heard various - renorts
about the Tennessee Coal & Iron, Com-.
pany,: including one that the United
States Steel Corporation had.wwithin
a year previous had 'experts examining
the property, declared today that "not
one . thing could have been .. made
known to me about that company that
would have altered my action." -
"Colonel Roosevelt was examined at
his editorial office by. Jacob M. Dickin
son, former secretary of war, . chief
counsel for, the government in this
case.- -K'v. v ;V -:. . I
Mr. Corey testified in a room in a
downtown office building. He said that
as late as 1910 an understanding had
existed with, foreign rail manufactur
ers under which the Steel" Corporation
agreed not to- compete ; with them in
their countries and "foreign manufac
turers in turn' agreed not to seek bus
iness in the United States. ' '.
."It was understood," said Mr. Corey,
"that competition should be restrict
ed : to the neutral markets, countries
which did not produce steel rails." '. .
