~TURPENTINE OPERATORS

Association.

New Orleans. December 23.-The Tur-
pentine Operators Protective Associa-
ton was organized today with a mem
tership which includes the leading tur-
pentine men of louisiana. Mississippi
and prominent operators in Alabama
end Georgia. The purpose Of the asso-
citation is cooperation for establishing
the trade on a more stable basis.
The convention which gave birth to
the association was the result of the
IDremitting labors OF A. Pridgen. OF
/ axe Park, Ia, who was chosen as
the first president Of the association
Mr.. Prfdgen has been interested in or
ganizing %turpentine mon ever since the
formation OF the Turpentine Operators
Association of Jacksonville, Fla
This body is practically the parent OF
the association formed today, although
legally there are 40 ties between them.
The reason for their technical separa-
lion Is to be found in the charter and
b--laws OF the Florida association,
which included articles ~unadapted 70

Pretended by Turks rs to the Recent
Order Against American ~tur

Constantinople, December 2S.-Reply.
ing to the protest of the United States
Charge d'affairs here. Spencer Eddy
against the notification issued by the
authorities Of Beyreut, Syria, that
raturaliZed American citizens must re-
ounce their naturalization within fif-
teen days, under penalty of being ex-
relied from Turkey, the Turkish foreign
minister. Tewfik Pasha, denied al
knowledge of the matter. but promised
to inquire into and sive Mr.. Eddy a
definite reply on Monday.
Washington, December 23.-Owing to
the absence of a naturalization treat
between the United States and Turkey,
our government, according to the state
d, partment, has no special authority
TO interfere in behalf of naturalized
American citizens in Turkey as against
all edict of expulsion. The reliance upon
broad principles of International law Is
not strong, for the principle that q ma
ion may refuse to allow its citizens to
change their nationality has been pretty
well established; but. admitting the
right of expulsion, the United States
government has itself a right to insist
mat this shall not be attended by hard
ship, such as might result from the al
lowance Of a very limited period of time
FOR leaving Turkey. 1t is probable that
Mr.. Eddy will take advanced ground or
that point, if he cannot secure the
abandonment OF the projected order OF
expulsion.

Washington. December 23.-Spencer

Jus plan for securing the release Of Miss

Mr.. Dickinson, our consul general at

respondent here of the Associated Press

today hat no agreement had yet been
arrived at with the brigands who hold
Miss Stone captive, concerning the mis-

A TRAIN ON r.
An Explosion Egnites n ~Car-seven
Men Killed and Many Injured.

Liverpool. December 25--An excur-
sion in a fuse hox set fire to q crowded
train on the electric overhead railway
at Dingle station at 6 o'clock this We
ming. Several OF the railway employees
were terribly burned and seven were
killed The burning train entered a
tunnel stored with stacks OF ~creosted
railroad ~sleepers. These were also set
Or fire and the tunnel became a blazing
furnace. The fire brigade had great
difficulty in extinguishing the flames.
The corpses of the seven men killed
were carried from the tunnel.
The majority Of passengers had
alighted at the previous station.
Rumors were spread that forty or fifty
persons had been killed, and owing TO
the dense fumes OF smoke issuing from
the tunnel il was some hours before
an entrance to the tunnel could be e.
fected-
Many passengers jumped from the
burning train and rushed out OF the
tunnel, while others were dragged on,
by their fellow travellers in q half suf-
located condition.
In spite OF the brave attempts made
by the officials to enter the tunnel they
were soon compelled to abandon this
idea.
The station building was much dam
aged. Subsequently the bodies OF the
station foreman and the signal boy
were e~xtricated, making seven deaths
in all, including the driver and the guard
Of the train. Apparently no passengers
were killed, but it is possible that other
bodies nay be recovered later.

New York. December 23.-Edgar STAN
ton Maclay. whose connection with the
Schiey case led President Roosevelt to
request his resignation as special labor-
er in the navy made formal demand to-
day for trial by usual naval procedure.
He averred that his case came under
the civil service law and that he could
not be dismissed without formal charg-
cs. trial and conviction. The request
for his resignation vas sent to him by
Read Admiral Barker commander of
the navy yard at Brooklyn and he re-
piled at once by letter formally setting
forth his position. Discussing the case.
Maclay said:

Rear Admiral Barke forwarded Mac

Washington, December 23.-Nothing
has been heard at the navy department
from historian Maclay in response to

nation. Under the rules. an employe il
allowed three days grace. in which to
show cause why he should not be dis

been made by the executive authority,
may be disregarded at it's pleasure. ii

To the Cardinals who Offer Their
Christmas Greetings to the Pom

Rome. December 23.-The pope today
received the cardinals. who offered him
their Christmas greetings. The pontiff
made a lengthy address. in which he
condemned what he characterized as
the excessive liberty of thought now in
dulged in. He sharply criticised social
ism. agitation for divorces and hostility
between different sections of the church
and urged a union of the Christian
churches.
The church now, said the pope, is
confronted by difficulties similar to
those of earlier times. There are at
tempts everywhere to make the masses

ders are subjected to all kinds of veXa-
tious prescriptions and laws are being
passed in open defiance of Gods eternal
laws.
The pontiff said the only means of
successfully combating socialism, was
for Catholics to hearken to and obey
the Instructions of the church.
