TURKS MEET WITH CHECK
Bulgarians Appear to Be Moving West-
ward Along Tchatalja Lines, Seem-
ingly in Order to Prevent Pos-
sible Flanking Movement
From the Enemy.
LONDON, Feb. 6.—News from the seat
of war is meager. Vague reports of fight-
ing in Galllpoli and at the Tchatalja j
lines have been received, but no details \
enabling one to judge of the character
of the operations have come.
The fact that the Bulgarians appear to
be moving their positions westward along
the Tchatalja lines seems to show that
they realize there is a possibility of an
attempt to outflank them, but so far
there is no confirmation of the rumors
that the Turks are moving troops by sea
to the neighborhood of Rhodosto and
Midia.
The reports indicate that the Turks
have met a reverse in the Gallipoli Penin-
sula, but no word has been received as
to whether the main forces yet have been
engaged, and it is assumed that Turkish
lines at Bulair and across the neck of
the peninsula are well defended by mod-
ern works, which ought to offer effective
resistance.
fighting at this point should bring the
rival fleets into the operations, but no
naval movement, has been reported.
Dr. Daneff, head of the Bulgarian dele-
gation, returned to Sofia today. The am-
bassadors of the powers had another
meeting in London this afternoon.

their own admission have lost 5,(MM) men.
The fighting began Tuesday. The Bul-
garians advanced from Kadikeui toward
Kavak, which the Turks occupied. The
fight (lasted until the Turks retired to
BuJ«ir. Another Bulgarian force on the
Marmora coast, occupied M.vrlophyto!
It is reported that the BulgarS before
leaving Rodosto burned all the military
buildings.

ing to a dispatch to the Daily Telegraph.

lunch delivery by parcel post was started
here yesterday when a downtown res-
taurant sent out 300 meals In pasteboard
packages to brokers, bankers, real estate

The packages were mailed so that they
would be delivered shortly before the

and His "Pal" Mother
Will Now Quit School
CHICAGO, Feb. 6. — An unusual com-
panionship between mother and son was
ended today when S. M. Collins, a fresh-
man at the. University of Illinois, died
at his home here. The mother was a
student in the same classes with her
boy. They were registered in the school
of agriculture.
When young Collins was preparing to
go to the university last fall his mother
said: "I'll po with you."
At Champaign t'uey lived at the same
house; had adjoining seats in the class-
rooms. studied together and attended uni-
versity functions and theaters together.
The companionship attracted wide at-
tention at the university, where the two
became known to the students as "the
pals," and the boy as "the model son."
Mrs. Collins will not return to her
studies.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.—Plans for the dis-
solution of the Union Pacific Railroad
Company and the Southern Pacific Com- J
pany, as decreed by the United States
Supreme Court, were officially announced
in detail tonight after a protracted session
of the directors of the two companies.
The terms are said, iu a statement is-
sued jointly by the roads, to have the
approval of the Department of Justice at
Washington, and the agreement now
awaits confirmation of the court in the
Federal district where the action origi-
nally was taken and by the Railroad Com-
mission of the State of California.
Iri accordance with recent lutiinatlons,
the severance of the Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific results in the Union
Pteific's absolute purchase of Central Pa-
cific, Which has been the bone of conten-
tion between the two principal roads of
the Harriman system.
The agreement also provides for the
sale of ail the Southern Pacific stock held
by Union at 1)8 5-8, with accrued dividend
to the stockholders, common and pre-
ferred, of the Union Pacific and Southern
Pacific other than Jhc Union Pacific and
Oregon Short Line.
It is understood that a syndicate has
been formed under the lead of Kuhn, Loeb
& Co. and their foreign connections to
finance the sale of Union Pacific's holdings
of Southern Pacific, amouuting to $126,•
050,000.
The official statement issued jointly
by Union Pacific and Southern Pacific
follows:
OFFICIAL STATEMENT lSSCKD.
"The boards of directors of the Union
Pacific Company and the Southern Pa-
cific Company at meetings held today ap-
proved plans which have been under con-
sideration by special committees for sev-
eral weeks, and which have been worked
out with the Attorney General, subject to
the approval of the court., as follows;
"The purchase by the Union Pacific of
the entire capital stock of the Central
Pacific, consisting of $<$7,275,500 par value
cf commcn and $17,400,000 par value pre-
fened. for the suir. of $104.1 Ml,941-- the cost
at which if stands upon the books of the
Southern Pacific Company. Eighty-four
million six hundred and seventy-five thou-
sand five hundred dollars of the amount
w as to have been paid in stock of the
Southern Pacific Company held by Union
Pacific at par. but legal difficulties hav-
ing been found in the way, the plan has
been changed, so that payment is to be
made as follows, viz:
"One hundred and twenty-six million
six hundred and fifty thousand dollars
par value being the entire amount of the
stock of Southern Pacific Company hold
by Union Pacific--is to be offered to the
stockholders, common and preferred, of
the l'nlon Pacific and stockholders of the
Southern Pacific Company, other than the
Union Pacific and Oregon Short Line, for
M-.hscriptlon at PK5-S nor cent and ac-
crued dividend. This offer is to be under-
written and subscribers are to receive the
dividend payable April 1, 1013. (Details
to be given later.)
"The proceeds of $84,075,500 of this
stock, less the underwriting commission
and expenses, is to be paid over to the
Southern Pacific Company, together with
$5,449,000 of the Southern Pacific Com-
pany's 4 per cent gold bonds and $14.-
005.441 In cash.
"The Attorney General of the United
States has assented to the essential fea-
tures of this plan, but it Is. of course,
sutject to the approval of the district,
court In which the .Government, litigation
Is pending, and also dependent upon ap-
proval by ihe California Railroad Commis-
sion of agreements for certain trackage
and running rights In that State. The
plan and agreements will bo presented
to the court and commission with the least
pcfcsrible delay."
Julius Kruttsehnltt, chairman of the
Southern Pacific Company, In discussing
the sale of the Central Pacific stock bv
the Southern Pacific Company, stated
that, while the directors have not decided
what disposition to make of the money
thus received, a considerable part of it
will be needed in the near future to pay
for extensions, equipment and betterments.
The amount is sufficient to take care of
future requirements, he said, without in
crease of fixed charges.
PLAN ENTIRELY APPROVED.
Mr. Kruttsehnltt also staled that at a
mating with the Southern Pacific stock
holders' protective committee this after
foon the plan agreed upon by the boards
of the Southern and Union Pacific com-
panies was approved unanimously.
Judge It. S. Lovett, <hairman of the
executive committee of the Union Pacific,
said in a statement tonight:
"If the plan is consummated, the lease
snd operation of the Central Pacific by
the Southern Pacific Company will, of
course, cease, and the Central Pacific Rail
way Company will enter upon the opera
tion of its own lines with a complete or-
ganization In California from president
dewn. The president of the Central Pa-
cific will have fully as much authority
with respect to those lines as the presi-
dent of the Southern Pacific has over its
lit f s.
"The published reports that the Central
Pccifie Is to be leased to or merged Into
the Union Pacific Rat* road are without
fourdatlon. The Union Pacific's control
will be through ow nership of stock of Cen-
tral Pacific, the operations being carried
or by the Central Pacific Railway Com-
pany and In its own name."
Wickersham Will Approve.
WASHINGTON, D. C-, Feb. 6.-\Yhile
no formal statement was forthcoming,
officials of the Department of Justice
tonight indicated that the plans for dis-
solving the Union Pacific-Southern Pa-
cific merger, agreed upon by the twj
reads, would be approved in all prob-
p.bility by Attorney General Wickersham.
The Attorney General held a long dis-
tance telephone conference late in the
day with representatives of the rallroa 1
In New York, who outlined to him the
basis of the agreement. The views ot
Mr. Wickersham were well known to
the roads as the result of several weeks'
negotiation* |

Escaped Society Burglar Is Believed
to Have Taken His
Own Life.

question of Ms pmd®, v.tb found today
in a marsh two mile* from the prison, it
is believed he committed suicide.
Kepsold, who was the son of a Sac-
ramento wine merchant, whose estate
awaited him when the prison doors
opened, was sent to San Quentin to serve
a fifteen-year term, after he had baffled
the police of California cities for many
months in the role of society burglar. His
work was recognizable for its dash and
precision, and by the odor of a certain
perfume.
Repsold made his escape by throwing
the entire penitentiary into darkness
while be had access to the electric switch
as a trusty.
Warden Hoyle of San Quentin explained
tonight for the first time why the rich
young convict had broken from prison on
the eve of his expected parole. He be-
lieved that Repsold, listening at a key-
hole while the State board was in ses-
sion, had learned that he was about to
lose his credits because of the discovery of
an infraction of the rules.

All Buildings Look
Alike to Woman V ho
Invades PostofUce
Wandering about the Federal building
from floor to floor, a woman smartly
dressea accosted an employe of Uncle
Sam and inquired where she might find
room 702.
"I beg pardon." replied the attendant,
"but we have no such room number in
this building."
"You mean to tell me that Mr. So
and So hasn't an office in this br'lding,"
said the woman.
"No; he is just across the street in
the Gibbs building," answered the at-
tendant.
With that, 'tis said, she became very
indignant and informed the attendant
that she was in the Gibbs building. "I
guess I have lived in San Antonio long
enough to know one building from an-
otner," she said. However, the woman
could not be convinced *>he was in the
Federal building until they had reached
the ground floor, and ?he postoffice de-
partment had been pointed out to her.

under suspension by direction of the Po-
lice Commissioner as results of the con-
fessions of Thomas W. Walsh, captain,

concerning further revelations that ap-
pear likely to be made through District
Attorney Whitman.
Up to a late hour tonight the move-
ments of District Attorney Whitman were
not known. He was not at home. It was
declared by many that he went to Cap-
tain Walsh's home, where the officer is
lying seriously ill. late In the afternoon,
to obtain a supplemental story, one that
would furnish a more detailed account than
the revelations made by Walsh last night.
There was a report also that Mr. Whitman

WILSON'S Ml YET OPEN
He Has Not Decided What He Will

I'RINVETON, N. J., Feb. 6.—President-
elect Wilson has not decided what legis-
lation he will recommend to the extra ses-
sion of Congress besides the tariff. This
statement was made by Mr. Wilson when
he was asked tonight concerning reports
from Washington to the effect that he
would urge the next Congress to take up
currency reform.
It is known Mr. Wilson considers the
tariff, antitrust legislation and currency
reform as the three principal subjects
upon which the platform pledges should
be carried out as quickly as possible. He
expects to learn from party leaders in
Congress just what It would be practi-
cable to take up at the extra session.

After a gray day, during which mist
fell at intervals, the rain held on steadily
for a couple of hours last night, and
probably three-quarters of an inch fell.
/.long with the rain came a rise in
the temperature, and the conditions last
evening were propitious for more moisture
today.
Reports from the outside indicate that
a fairly large area in Southwest Texas
was rained upon.
CROWDS STORM DIVORCE COURT
Many Anxious to Hear Testimony in
Baker Case at Cincinnati.
CINCINNATI, Ohio, Feb. 6.—Windows
of the Insolvency court were stormed
this afternoon by men and women in an
effort to enter the courtroom to hear the
testimony in the divorce suit of Mrs.
Thorne Baker, wife of a prominent at-
torney and former Stat© Senator. A riot
call brought out a squad of police to aid
the bailiffs in clearing the room.
All of the witnesses who have testified
have been prominent socially and the
courtroom has been crowded at each ses-
sion. This afternoon the doom were
locked, but when the bailiffs entered the
courtroom they discovered many people,
including numerous women, who had
entered through the outer windows. The
bailiffs were unable to stop the crowds
that were forcing the window and called
for the police.
JACK ROSE SEEKS BANKRUPTCY
Police Informer and ex-(iambler De-
clares That He Is Broke.
NEW YORK, Feb. 6.—Jack Rose, the
former gambling and police informer,
whose testimony played so Important a
part in the conviction of Charles Becker,
former police lieutenant, and the four
gunmen for the murder of Herman
Rosenthal, today appeared before a
referee in Long Island City for examina-
tion In his bankruptcy petition In which
he declared he is out of funds and is
more than $12,(100 in debt.
The twenty claims against him, he said,
were for money borrowed, clothing and
jewelry and for medical services. None of
the creditors appeared and the referee
ordered Rose's attorney to ask the court
to declare him a bankrupt. The hearing
on this petition probably will be held
tomorrow.
Rose gave his address as Long Island
City and his present business that of a
promoter.

Staff Special to The Express.
AUSTIN, Tex., Feb. 6.—In both Senate and House there was "put over
the legislative plate" today bill after bill, the lower branch being particu-
larly active in finally disposing of pending measures. The Gulf, Colorado
& Santa Fe merger was finally passed in the House without semblance of
discussion of any sort, not half the members voting even viva voce. Oppo-
nents of the measure had nothing to say, and, of.course, it was not becom-
ing in its friends to parade its virtues.
The Haney senatorial districts high school bill was put to sleep by the
narrow margin of 63 to 59 by the House, and many other matters of lesser
consequence were attended to.
Incidentally, there was some excitement, echoes of the fight over the
poker probe yesterday being sent flying by Representative Lewelling of
Dallas. Rising to a question of personal privilege, the Dallas member took
occasion in an impassioned statement to castigate Speaker Terrell. Noth-
ing unparliamentary was said either by Lewelling or by the Speaker, who
responded, but, for once, neither used language to conceal his thoughts.
Prominent residents of Dallas and others who heard the debate said after-
wards that the title of success in the verbal controversy had lighted upon
the Lewelling banner.
Immediately on recognizing Lewelling to speak to the privileged question
of the highest sort known to parliamentary law, Speaker Terrell called Mr.
Rowell of Jeffr rson to the chair and >ook his seat on the floor. This was ac-
cepted as pr<"jf lie meant to respond to Mr. Lewelling and added zest to the
interest of all
As I fuelling began, Speaker Terrell, from the floor, interrupted to say
that, hai. he been ir. the chair yesterday just after his own statements, the
latter would have been accorded opportunity to speak then. Lewelling said
he would agree in advance to be interrupted by the Speaker, but that he hoped
no other member would try to be heard until after he had concluded. Twice
Representative Stevens of Liberty tried to take Lewelling off the floor on a
point of order, but equally as often did Speaker Terrell take the side thai
Lewelling Iwd the right to speak.
Beginning with the statement that the
Speaker had made it incumbent on him
to reply by saying In open session, his
remarks having been printed in many
newspapers, that he vi^e welling) had
wasted more time than any "two dozen
men in the House," Mr. Lewelling de-
fended his own course as a member of
the body, especially that part relating
to the beginning of the poker probe, and
referred to the fact the Speaker had
named three of the five members of the
poker committee from among those who
had voted against the resolution. "I en-
ter no protest against the Speaker's fail-
ure to appoint me a member of that
committee, save that it was most extra-
ordinarily unusual," said Mr. Lewelling.
INTERCEDES FOR LEWELLING.
Mr. Stevens—I make the point of or-
der that the gentleman from Dallas is
not speaking to his question of personal
privilege.
Mr. Terrell—I hope the House will al-
low the gentleman from Dallas to pro-
ceed. ,
Lewelling—In saying I had wasted the
time of this House the Speaker met with
the plaudits of the men he has favored
with chairmanships and other official fa-
vors.
Speaker Terrell — Didn't you consume
more than two hours during the discus-
sion of the Katy bill in calling for roll
calls on every proposed amendment when
you knew the majority here was in fa-
vor of the measure,
Lewelling—I thank the gentleman from
San Antonio for bringing that question
into this matter. I not only consumed
time in the discussion of that matter,
but I wish we had spent ten times as
much time as we did In the consideration
of it. T stood on my constitutional right
as a member of this House in demand
ing roll calls, and I expect to coutinm
to stand on my rights. Since passage
of that bill I have learned that ever)
member of the Railroad Commission
men who ought to know more about iti
effects than we do, is opposed to it at
a policy of State.
Mr. Stevens—I insist on a ruling to mj
point, of order that the gentleman is not
discussing a question of personal priv-
ilege.
Speaker Terrell—I hope that point ol
order will be overruled.
Mr. Rowell (in the chair)—It Is over-
ruled. The gentleman from Liberty is
out of order.
Mr. Stevens—I appeal from the decision
of the chair.
Speaker Terrell observed that the ap-
peal was not seconded, the chair again
ruled Mr. Stevens out of order and Lew-
elling cntinued.
"The Speaker of this House used hia
personal and official influence to defeat
the resolution brought Into this House
from the poker probe committee. I ad-
mit having consumed time in the discus-
sion of that matter. If it was frivolous,
as the Speaker charged, then I am guilty
of frivolity.
"I stand on my record here, and T do
not believe the people of my district,
of my county, will find fault with any
public act I have done since this session
began
Speaker Terrell, replying, said all tlwsa
who knew him knew he meant no per-
sonal affront to the Dallas man -when
he sai'l yesterday that "the gentleman
from Dallas had wasted the time of ths
House." There are five members from
Dallas. Why is it the gentleman Is
the only one who replied?
"I too, represent my constituency, ana
whenever I feel that I cannot reflect
their will and keep the speakership, 111
