GALLS TURKISH NATIONAL ASSEMBLY
The Porte is Evidently r
Concessions
BELIEF THAT CABINET
Allies May Ask Powers to
Meet Their Demands
ty of European War
Fight by Officers on a Turkish Warship.
London, Jan. 19 The Porte's decision
to call a national assembly on Tuesday
to take under advisement the Balkan
situation probably heralds further
concessions on the part of Turkey
concessions which could not be yielded
by the cabinet without risking Its fall.
In any case the Balkan delegates in
London do not believe that the Porte's
reply to the joint note of the powers
" will be such a flat refusal as foreshad
owed from Constantinople. ,
Next Move by the Allies.
Yesterday's despatches reported that
the Turkish government had reached
a decision not to cede Adrianople or
the Aegean Islands but was willing to
enter negotiations respecting these is
lands some distance removed from the
Dardanelles. If Turkey's answer is un
satisfactory the allies, in deference -O
Europe, will ask the powers whether
they have means to compel Turkey to
comply with their wishes. If not the
allies will carry out the plan already
announced, leading to the resumption
of the war.
All Concessions will be Void.
In such' event the allies will regard
all concessions heretofore made for the
Bake of peace, either to Turkey or the
powers, as void. Thus they would not
recognize the undertaking consenting
to an autonomous Albania, or the
promise of Servia and Montenegro to
retire from the Adriatic. Questioned
as to the possibility in this case of
Austria employing forces, the head of
one of the delegations said today:
Will Abandon No Territory.
"We shall see whether the triple en
tente and especially Russia will permit
euch action on the part of Austria. If
we are forced to fight another war the
cost of which is nearly $1,000,000 daily,
EAGAN BREAKS INTO
THE POLICE STATION
Finds Whiskey, Stogun and Revolver
and Has a Gay Time.
South Manchesty, Conn., Jan. 19. "
;Tha police station was broken into
this morning by Walter Eagan, for the
pstensible purpose of liberating his
iriend, Pail Cleary, who had been ar
rested last night for intoxication.
Eagan used an axe and a crowbar on
one of the heavy outer doors and then
went on a rampage, shooting out nine
panes of glass and once taking a
ehot with a shotgun at Thomus Moore,
a trolley conductor who was Investi
gating as to the cause of the rumpus.
The police station closes here about
midnight, with one officer patrolling
the town. Eagan turned on all the
lights in the building and then found,
stored away in a closet, a shotgun and
a revolver. He also found a dozen
bottles of whiskey, which had been
taken away from prisoners.
When Eagan could not find the ck
room he amused himself by shooting
at the windows. Conductor Thomas
Moore looked into the window and as
he did so -Eagan fired. Moore ducked
and the next moment the whole sash
of the window was blown out. Officer
Madden in the meantime had heard the
shooting and entered the building. Af
ter some difficulty hS placed Eagan
under arrest.
At present he Is charged, with intox- j
ication, wilful injury to public build
ings and attempting to aid a prisoner
in escaping. .More charges may be
lodged against him later.

HOUSEWIVES' LEAGUE TO

N'ew York, Jan. 19. War on high
Prices for butter was declared by the
Housewives' league today. "It was de

OFFICERS IN FIGHT.
Blows Exchanged-Aboard One of the
Turkish Warships.
Constantinople, Jan. 19. The gov
ernment has ordered the general as
sembly on Tuesday in order to take
the Balkan situation under consider
ation. A serious quarrel occurred recently on
one of the Turkish warships in the Dar
danelles between some of the officers
who were anxious .to fight the Greeks
and othens who considered that the
Turkish fleet was no match 'for the
Greek fleet. Blowe were exchanged
and before the quarrel was settled
fifteen officers were wounded.
The trouble arose through the circu
lation of a manifesto signed The Wo
men of Turkey, suggesting that the
forts should sink the Turkish war
ships whose poor spirited officers al
ways fled at the approach of the Greek
fleet. It was because of this slur that
the Hamidieh made Its adventurous
cruise to Syria.
Turkish Ministers Oppose War.
Vienna, Jan. 19. A despatch from
Constantinople says that at the coun-
I cil of ministers held Saturday a ma-
1 jority opposed continuing the war.
STATES SLOW WITH
ELECTORAL RETURNS,
Only Fifteen Have Reported by Mes
senger May Lose Their Votes.
Washington, Jan. 19. In order
td
comply with the law it will be neces
sary for all the states to get their
electoral returns to Washington by the
beginning of next week. The require
ment is that all the returns shall be in
the hands of the president of The sen
ate by Monday, Jan. 27, and a warning
wa sent out today from the office of
the president of the senate that If the
reports were not received by that date
the states failing would be in danger of
losing their votes.
Up to the close of business last night
only 15 states had reported by messen
ger and 35 by mail. Those reporting
by messenger axe Connecticut, Dela
ware, Illinoifi, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas,
Maryland, Nebraska, New Jersey,
North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island, South Dakota, Vermont . and
West Virginia. All others lack only a
week of being delinquent.
Not only does the law provide that
states failing to get in their votes on
time may be deprived f their . votes,
but it" operates so as to cause messen
gers to lose that mileage pay allowed
them for bringing the vote to Wash
ington, This is 25 cents per mile, one
waj- and is a considerable item in
cases of men eoming from distant
states. The imposition of penalties is
optional with the presiding officer of
the senate and never has been exer
cised, but ordinarily the returns have

PRESIDENT M ELLEN
REPLIES TO CRITIC
Railroads and Steamship Lines Should
Co-operate Must Build for Future.
New Haven. Jan. 19. A small stock
holder wrote President Mellen of the ,
Grand Trunk arrangements, complain
ing of delay in receiving a shipment or
cranberries, and making allusion to
advertising expenditures in connection
with steamship lines which might tie
deferred until the arrival of the steam
ers.
President Mellen replied at length as
follows:
Jan. 14, 1913.
TeT Sir T herewith return vour
suggestions, as requested, relating to
your proposals in respect to the Grand
Trunk. I do not care to discuss tnem
in any way
There is one matter, however, that 1
am at liberty to discuss with you, and

expenditure of the IN'ew Haven money
to build up the steamship passenger
business of the port of Boston and
speak of timetable advertising
proper advertising. Permit me to re
mark that the time for timetable ad
vertising has gone by. When years
ago trains were infrequent at points
in New England and advertising was
inexpensive and special rates were
made for timetables as a matter of
public interest, it was worth while to
keep columns of timetables standing in
the newspapers.
Today, however, a railroad system
prints its timetables for its patrons
and supplies them liberally at all sta-
tions and eould not possibly afford to
keep the same matter standing in tne
advertising columns of the newspapers,
'loday railroads must go out tor
Dusmess. i ney must ngnt lor it, ior
the manufacturing interests along their
met, mr mib -tiucs emu viiises wim i
which they connect, and above all they
must fight for the great port outlets
wheFein they do business.
Perhaps you do not know that in
tonnage Boston ranks No. 6 in the
seaports of the world, but it hasn't
the passenger business to which it Is
rightfully entitled.. Tha more people
who can be induced to sail from the
port of Boston, the larger will be tho
number of people who will stop ever
and visit the historic spots and sea
shores and summer resort places of
Aew England.
You speak of "hundreds of thousands I
ot dollars that are being spent for this
advertising." You are quite in erroc.
j ne iew liBsiana lines nave spent to I
this date, about $20,080 m advertising
from Maine to Omaha and Minneapolis
and New Orleans, "Sail from Boston,
.f.ut .first see iew ninglanti," and I I
think it is good advertising for the
benefit of New England and its rail-
road lines and for the benefit of all the
people of New England.
Much of the criticism that bas been
leveled at tne Kew Jngland rairroad
lines, so far as it has not been nrn.
meted by politicians and professional
agitators, has been of the narrow view
that says: 1 want my cranberries to
morrow afternoon or I want the rail
road system smashed."
The broad view is to find out why I
tne cranoemes were delayed, where I
was the freight congestion, and what
broad and liberal corporation and pub-
lie policies can be combined to ex-
pand and build up. cement and unify,
ana maice more emcient, ana yon can
only do this by building more and more I
ror tne future.
Very truly yours,

Not a Success In Politics.
From the Jews, Mr. Taft said, the
American people should profit by their
example of love and liberty of guar
anty of rights and equality and their
intensity of spirit.
"I don't like to drop into politics.
he continued. "I don't seem to have

Our Country' Most Tolerant.
"Something has been said of the in

Taft went on. "Tolerance does not
exist in other countries as in our own,
but we must know that tolerance in
this country will have its beneficent
effects all over the world. The atti

Agreement Reached Between Manufac

New York, Jan. 19. There was no
indication today of any change in
iront, either on the part of the manu
facturers or the strikers, ss the fourth
week of the garment makers' strike
began. The strikers are said to be
just as insistent as ever that their
union shall be recognized, while' Ku-
gene S. Kenjumin, president of the
New York Clothing Trades associa
tions, remains firm against such recog
nition. Both sides aver ihat they are
well organized and financially strong
enough to" maintain their positions lor
some time to come.

ment, entered into Saturday between
the manufacturers mid the loaders of
the dress and shirtwaist branch of tha
garment making industry, by whic h the
strikers are to return to work tomor

there seemed to be a half-hearted ac
quiescence by the workers in the plans
of their leaders. The protocol affects
129 shops and close to 30,000 opera
tives. It is expected, however, that
only about half the latter will return
to their machines. The return of all
of them would leave more than 100.000
workers still on strike in other
brandhes of the garment trades.
