GREECE REJECTS THE ALLIES' OFFER OF ISLEOF CYPRUS Hellenic Monarch Does Not See Way Clear to Accept lYoposals of the Quadruple Entente Powers. ATHENS' REFUSAL DEFINITE Confederates Feel, However, that Show of Force Will Hare Some Effect. RELY ON PUBLIC SENTIMENT LONDON, Oct. 22. The Greek government has Informed the quad ruple entente powers that it does not see its way clear to accept the pro posals, Including cession of Cyprus and other concessions offered in re turn for Greek military co-operation with Serbia. While Greece's refusal of the of fers is definite so far as the present is concerned it is felt by London commentators that a material strengthening of the entente allied contlnaenta t Saionlki would have a very material influence upon the at titude even of the Greek government It also is believed by observers here that Greece cannot perBiBt in its present ambiguous position and that public opinion which is generally understood to favor the entente allies probably will exercise its influence. Court Holds Road Cannot Refuse the Liquor Shipments CHICAGO, Oct 22. A permanent in junction was Issued today by Judge Car penter of the United States district court restraining officials of tho Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific railway company from refusing to accept and deliver ' consign ments of liquor to points In Iowa and to agents of the consignees on the written order of the latter. A plea agaliiftt making the Injunction permanent was made yesterday by C. A., Robblns, asMstant .attorney general of Iowa, on the ground that the court order compels the railroad officials to violate the law of the state of Iowa, wnicn directs that liquor consignments must be received by the consignees In person. The order of the court provides that the consignees must designate tne arayman or' other cnrrlor who Is to receive the liquor' and that the. shipment must be marked for personal use and private con sumption.

LONDON, Oct. 2J Tho Norwegian bark ACES BACK TO BACK CAUSE OFHIS DEATH Onoe Too Often Did S. E. Brodkey Have the Big Card in the Hole Friends Get Suspicious. TRY TO GET BACK LOSSES Upon aces, buck to bark. Is laid the blame for tho suirido of S. K. Hrod key, well known pawnbroker of Four teenth and Douglas streets. Once too often in various "friendly" card games did Ilrodkey get an ace up and an are in tho holo. He tripped himself up, finally, and the dilemma in which he found him self led to his self-destruction. This la in substance th story that Is circulating among his friends and ac quaintances nnd stlrrlnu to us very depths the circle of Jewish folk in which he associated. According to accounts which arc amply verified, a llttlo group of men, or whom Brodkey was one, had been in the habit of visiting around at each other's homes, particularly on Sunday evenings when free from business cares, and enjoyed little auppera, after whlrh the tablo would be cleared to make room for cards. The game was poker and the spre 1 of the playing could bo imagined from the limit, which was ordinarily II, and Ilrodkey nearly always had to "dig up." The score for a year or more, t It Is said, loft hlnie more than a thousand dollars loser. Then t omes I nnl shnrk. Then one day not so long ago, a hard up professional gambler entered his store to soak a pledgo and the talk acciden tally drifted to cards. Brodkey lamented his poor luck nnd complained of his con stant losses, to which his customer' re marked that It might not bo so much In the playing as "In the cards. ,"I can tell you how to' chango yeur , luck and show you how to win I" The professional relumed later with a few decks runrAnreed to produce thrae-of-a-klnd, at right- flushes and full houses. "If you use these you won't have any more trouble settling at the end of a game," the professional is said to have laughingly told the pawnbroker. The Jest fell In fertile soli. Brodkey nm Host. j A week or so later Brodkey was host at a little dinner ot rlnderbrust. At the end of the evening his guests called him phenomenally lucky and de parted quite a few dollars behind. The next session took place also at the Brodkey place,' and several more. From the "good thing" poker player who always lost Brodkey developed Into an invariable winner. Ho always seemed to know when to "lay down" and when to "bluff." One night one of tho company, after losing considerable, picked up a rack of cards and stuck them In his pockot. Then came the blow off. Brodkey was accused of ringing In a phoney deck and tho victims demanded their money back. Brodkey returned some and explained that he wus "making Jokes." Then nearly all who had been playing with him from the start com menced to worry him and kept It up. To friends he declared that soino of tho losers were taking advantage of his po sition by domandlng more thun they lost, and he asked thsrn In Intercede and set him straight again. Want All Bark. The losers, however, insisted upon their demands In full, and even went so far as to engage a lawyer to commence prose cution. "They're trying to bankrupt me," Ilrdd key complained a few hours before he swallowed the poison draught. The exposure of the marked cards came a few weeks ago. Bitice then Brodkey had been persistently sought after by his former card table playmates. The story leaked out and the suicide was tho culmination. Though forced to admit the use of marked cards, Brodkey at all times In sisted that by their use he had got back only about half what he formerly lost while playing with men who knew the gome better than himself.

LONDON, Oct. 22. Serbia's mill tary position is critical. Hammered by superior forces on two sides, its armies are threatened with being crushed, as no army has been crushed during the war. Not only are these facts admitted in England, France and Russia, but they are reflected In official' Serbian statements. The key to escape from this situation is the speed with which France and England can throw forces north from' Saloniki, In tha hope of relieving pressure from the Austrlnns and Germans in the north and the Bulgarians in the east. Ths Bulgarians are now battling under the eyes of King Ferdinand.
