MEETINGS AT OYSTER BAY
Governor Odell Of New York Had q
Three Hours Conference With
the President-State Politics
the Topic.

Oyster Bay, N. T., Aug. 24.-Finan-
sial legislation and national and New
York state politics were the principal
topics of dicussion yesterday between
the president and his guests. Early in
the day Representative E. j. Hill Of
Connecticut submitted to the president
q brief presentation in writing OF the
for anc: against PROPOSE
tons that have recently been consid-
cred regarding the treatment and dis
position of the public Moneys, in
GLIDING the retirement Of $3,0U0,000 a
month, and the question OF an emer-
gency circulation, subject to a heavy
tax. MIR. I'LL approved of such a mod
lfCation OF the present law as Will n
able the government to deposit GUS
toms receipts in national banks, care
full provision for the security of such
deposits being made. He told the
president that an early extraordinary
session of congress was, in his judg-
ment, desirable.
Governor Benjamin D. Odell OF New
York arrived yesterday afternoon and
had a three hours conference with the
president. At the pier when starting on
his return the governor said, in re-
Spouse to inquiries by a representative
of the Associated Press, that his visit
was both social and political. He had
not see the president for several months
and desired to discuss some party az
fairs with him. He said that he and
the president incidentally discussed the
political situation in both the city and
state of New York. but no definite
conclusions were reached. He did not
know whether Mr.. Low again would be
a candidate for the mayoraity Of New
York, bu thought Il he were he would
be elected. The Littauer-Lyon glove
contract case and its possible bearing
on New York politics, he said, was not
mentioned. He vas perfectly sure that
the republicans would carry New York
next year, but added that he had not
thought much about the contest yet.
There really was no news in the talk
I had with the president" said the gov
ernor.
1t can be said, however, that the gov
ernor did not come to Oyster Bay to
consider with the president the PROPOSE
ton that he was a third time candi-
date for governor, as has been re-
ported.
No determination yet has been reach
ed whether the extra session Of con-
gress will be called to meet in October
Or in November. Before reaching a
decision the president will talk or COR
respond with many members of both
the senate and the house Of represent
atives.

Declares Powers Will Have to Fight Ii
They Occupy Straits.
London, Aug. 24.-The Turkish am
bassador called at the foreign Office to-
day to make inquiries regarding the
report hat it was the intention of the
powers to make a joint naval demon
stration in Turkish waters and to en-
ter a protest if anything of the kind
were contemplated. The foreign Of
fee officials made 1t clear to him tina
Great Britain has taken no action of
this character, snd it appears as If
Italy will also refrain from carrying
out her decision to dispatch warships
to Turkey, as the Italian embassy says
no report of their departure has yet
been received.
This is taken by the embassy to in
dicate there have been developments
making the step advisable or I'M
necessary at present, perhaps due to
the turkish acceptance of Russia's de-
mands, which was confirmed at the
Turkish embassy.
Diplomats point out that the scheme
for settlement Of the Macedonian ques-
ton outlined by the Independence
Beige yesterday could not be approved
by he powers, as 1t is evident Turkey
would never submit to a peaceful occu-
patton of the Bosphorus and Darda-
nelles. A Turkish official said this
could only be done after fighting.

BLOCKS RAILWAY
StiIwelPs Enterprise in Mexico HaIts
Because of Prior Concessions.

Phoenix. Ariz., Aug. 24.-Advices re-
ceived today from ~Topolobampo, Mex
leo, say the Kansas City, Mexico and
Orient railroad, promoted by A. e.
StillwAl of Kansas City, has been
forced to suspend construction work in
Mexico owing to disputes over import
ant concessions involved in it's route.
Mrs. Owens, wife of a man who secured
Mexican concessions years ago in fur
therance of a huge colonization scheme
hat was never matured, discovered
that the old concessions had not ex-
PRED and they were placed in her
name. 1t is believed that the Mexican
Central assisted her in developing her
rights, two solicitors of that
having had her affairs in charge. Re
Gently the supreme court of Mexico
sustained her rights to the conces-
slons. Previously she is said to have
offered to compromise with Stillwell
for $4,000, 900.
About 220 miles of the railroad has
been built in Mexico. out of Chihuahua
and Fort Stilwell, formerly T~opolobam-
Po' on the Pacific coast. The route in
eiudes Kansas City, Oklahoma and
Iexas before reaching Mexico, when
1t traverses the republic and finds an
outlet on the Pacific coast.

Taylor came home this morning and
started abusing his family n his
daughter Maude started to flee. The
father caught the girl. choked and
pounded her almost to insensibility,
knocked her to the foo by a blow in
the face, picked her up, threw her
across the bed and assaulted her. The
girls face was terribly beaten. She
was s~trangled in the sight of her moth
er, who fled to a neighbours house,
where the girl followed.
Taylor ran to the house of a negro,
where he stayed several hours, and
threatened to shoot any one who fol-
lowed him. He had guns on his per-
son and said he wanted to see the To-
cai constable, openly threatening to
kill the officer on sight.
This afternoon when the miners were
gathering at their homes from work

Strike Agitation Ea;!s
For the third time an attempt to
start a general strike has failed. but
the progress of the organization of
unions is considerable. A crisis in the

more than 20, 600 workmen into the
streets Of Madrid.
The agitation in favor of a general

country was extraordinary. Com
