TRAFFIC MANAGERS
ARE ADJUSTING RATES
Railroad Officers in Session at HO-
tel Raleigh.

Another important meeting of traffic
managers of Southern and Southwestern
railroads was held today at the Raleigh.
Freight and passenger rates in the ter
ritory through which the railroads rep
resented pass, were discussed, as wero
several sections OF the Elkins bill.
The meeting was held behind closed
doors and those who attended refused ID
discuss any action taken. There were
present Walker D. Hines. third vice
president OF the Louisville and Nash
Vile; J. NJ. Culp, fourth vice president
of the Southern, and manager of the
traffic department; Edward F. Cost. traf
fic manager of the Seaboard Air Line; T.
NJ. Emerson, third vice president of the
Atlantic Coast Line; c. B. Compton, OF
the Central Of Georgia Railroad; T. r.
Barlow, of the Louisville and Nashville,
and a number of others.
The meeting was called to order at II
O'Clock, and was still in session at ?.
The question of rates has been worry
ing all the Southern lines for some time,
and the freight and passenger agents
previously met at Washington and dis
cussed the matter without taking any
definite action. Finally the question
was turned over to higher officers. the
traffic managers, and they are now en-
deavoring TO arrange a schedule equita-
BILE to all concerned. The traffic mau-
ayers also discussed the round cotton
bale complaints now pending before the
Interstate Commerce Commission, with
a view toward concerted action when
the new crop is ready for the market.
The first carloads are now being
shipped. 1t is probable some sort of an
announcement will be made after the
meeting has closed.

V. Debs, who has closed his Chautauqua
engagement, spent yesterday at home
with Mother Jones as his guest. In re-
gard TO the conference at Denver to re-
vive the Populist party, Debs said:
The committee on the eXhumation of

preservation. There is no inspiration in

Direct Communication
With Beirut Reports
Vice Consul Unhurt.
NO PAUSE In INQUIRY
But State Department Will
Keep Clear of Turkish
Imbroglio.

Secretary Hay received a dispatch
this morning from the American consul
at Beirut, Mr.. Ravndal, confirming the
report that Vice Consul Magelssen was
fired upon by would-be assassins, but
was uniniured.
This is the first news the Department
of State has had directly from Beirut
since the reported murder of Vice Consul
Magelssen and sets at rest all denials
OF the attack upon him.
No statement was made at the State
Department concerning the error which
caused the announcement of Mr.. Ma
gelssen's death.
Missionary Union Content
letter has also been received by the
State Department from the American
Missionary Union, of Boston. This or
ganization asked for an audience with
Secretary Hay several days ago in order
to communicate to the State Department
news received from Harput and other
towns in Asiatic Turkey concerning the
dangers surrounding American mission
aries there.
Mr. Barton now writes that he is con-
vinced the State Department is doing all
that can be done to protect American
subjects in Syria, and says he does not
believe il necessary for any representa-
tives of mission organizations to confer
further with Secretary Hay.
Attitude of Department.
The attitude of the State Department
seems to be that in view of the dispatch
from Consul Ravndal full confidence
cannot be given to the Turkish explana-
tion of the. Beirut incident, that when
Admiral Cotton arrives at Beirut 1t VIII
still be proper for him to inquire into
the facts of the supposed assault upon
Vice Consul Magelssen. and that he shall
then sail away as promptly as possible
This position Is explained on the
ground that the retention of the feet
at Beirut, in view of present conditions
| in Turkey, would invite misconstruction.
II would be said the United States was
trying to put some kind of pressure upon
the imperial government in respect to
| a question which is purely European.
With the assassination of an American
official or an attack upon him, the Gov
ernment must deal quickly and vigor-
ousIy, wherever il may occur But with
| the balance of power in Europe, or
concert" of European nations as to
Turkey, the United States has nothing
whatever TO do.

ABILITY TO BE STANDARD
Automobile Board to Have
Discretionary Power to
Issue Licenses.

The long-l looked for opinion of the Cor
poration Counsel on the right of the
Commissioners to establish an age limit
for chauffeurs will probably be submitted
tomorrow. II will say that the Commits
sioners have the right TO establish any
age limit within their discretion. but it
will also advise against naming any spe-
cific number of years. An announcement
TO this effect was printed exclusively IN
The Times ot August 25.
The right of the Commissioners to
regulate the age of limitation for auto

is known as their police power" The
original regulation was drafted under
their supervision, and consequently the

Commissioners have the right to amend

Although the Commissioners will be
assured OF their authority to fix an age
limit, 1t is probable they will follow the
advice of the Corporation Counsel and
decline to take advantage of the
privilege. These facts. became known
this morning after a consultation be-
tween Commissioner West and Corpora
ton Counsel A. B. DuvalI- When ques-
toned concerning the visit Mr.. West
corroborated the story, and stated that
he believed the Commissioners would
give the automobile board discretionary
applicant of whatever age. and II the
members OF the board are satisfied as
to the general ability OF the applicant
TO operate an automobile. the permit
should be granted.
Commissioner Vests Views.
Personally" said Mr. West. 'T do not
think an age limit can be established
that will be fair TO all concerned I,
stands TO reason that some boys ot
seventeen or eighteen are more COM
petent TO operate autos than older men
or women ] do think, however. that
the board should be very carful In
granting permits to youths to operate
the large and cumbersome touring cars
that have twenty and twenty-four horse
power. A lad of seventeen may be the
master of simple motor runabout. but
il me- eds a strong arm and mature judg-
ment to handle one of the big RED
devils. Mr. Duvall has expressed his
views to me. and approve his opinion
that although the Commissioners have
authority to establish an age limit il
will be better to let general ability and
not years govern the decision.

II appears that Storm & Sherwood

Turks Moving Toward Frontier.

TO be complete change Of attitude on
the part of Russia in regard to Tur-
key in the Balkan crisis is believed
to have taken place. Instead of auaost
overt sympathy with the Bulgarian revo-

ic representations are reported to have
been made to the porte, urging the UT
most vigor on the part of the latter to-
ward the insurgents.
Makes the Changes.
Russia's change in policy is believed to
be due to fear at St. Petersburg that
continued successes for the insurgents
presage a general outburst OF feeling
against Turkey, not only among the peo-
pies tributary to the porte, but from
the Christian nations of Europe. For
this. it is felt, Russia feels herself at
present unpreDared.
The Sultan, acting on these represen-
tations of Russia. has ordered Hilmi

in Turkish Roumelia, to Increase the
rigor in his treatment of the rebels.

balloon was set free by agents of the

SOFIA, Sept. 1-Excesses in the in

Sept. I.-Once more the fckIe wind

the international yacht race between
the sloops Reliance and Shamrock III
At 1870 o'clock the committee found
it expedient to call the race of for to-

Both yachts hovered near the start
ing line, the shippers of each hoping
against hope that 2 providential breezc
would spling up and send the sIoops
across the mark, for what would prob
ably be the third and last race of the
series of 1903.
There was hardly enough wind to be
perceptible, and the crowd of excur-
sionists were once more compelled tc
return to New York without the pleas
ure of seeing Reliance again show hel
heels to Lipton's gallant challenger.
The course scheduled was fifteen miles
to leeward and return, and old sailor-
men recalled that in every cup contest
in the last ten years the deciding race
has been a run to the outer mark aud
a beat home.
The jack tars were aboard the racers
early. and at $3.50 a. m. sail had been
