ALBANIANS WON'T SUBMIT
TO RULE BY YOUNG TURKS
Government to Continue a Policy
of Severity

ATHENS, Dec. lit is reported that
at the meeting of the Young Turkish
committee, recently convoked at Mon
astir, it was decided to approve all
measures taken by the military COM
mittee to procure disarmament of the
Christians in Macedonia. The govern
ment was advised to continue a policy
of severity, and orders were given to
Turkish bands to massacre twelve
Christians in revenee for six Turks
killed by Bulgarians, $40 of whom are
at present confined in prison at Mon
astir.
Numerous bands of Albanians have
appeared in the district of Divri, all
of them old members of revolutionary
committees. There are between 1000 and
1000 in the mountains, and these bands
descend to the villages and declare that
they will never submit to the authori-
ties They deny the assertion of Tur-
ghut Pasha that order is re-established
and that Albania has submitted.
The Albanian chief, Kara Lassan,
who is at the head of a thousand men,
demands from the Turkish authorities
an amnesty for all Albanians in pris>
on. If his request be not complied with
he threatens to carry on a guerrilla
warfare against the Turks. In the
meantime all the Albanians are pre-
pairing for resistance this winter. They
are busy driving herds of cattle into
winter quarters preparatory to a gen.
eral movement in the spring.

CONFERENCE WILL BE HELD
FOR CHANGE IN CALENDAR
Federal Council in Switzerland
to Obtain Views of Powers

GENEVA, Dec. 1.-THE federal
council has charged the political de-
partment to take the necessary steps
with the object of holding an inter-
national conference at Berne to re-
form the Gregorian calendar at fu-
ture date. 1t will be a question of
adopting the project of the Genevese
named Grosclaude, who divided the
year into S64 days, leaving out New
Years day, which win always follow
Sunday and not be dated.
In bisextile years the day between
June 81 and July 1 is also not dated.
Every three months have 30, 80 and 81
days, and the months Of March, June,
September and December have 81 days,
the ,31st falling always on a Sunday.
1t is only when the political depart
ment has sounded the different powers
and made q report to the federal gov
ernment that date will be fixed for
the conference. The Vaterland of Lu-
cerne states that the Vatican is not
opposed to the reform. At the inter-
national commercial congress, held in
London last June. the chamber of
commerce requested the federal coun-
Gil to undertake the task of calling
an international meeting and it agreed.

SULTAN OF MOROCCO TO
RE0RGANIZE HIS ARMY
Officers Fight Reform, as 1t Cuts
Off Their Graft

TANGIER. Dec. 11.-The sultan,
Muley Hafid, has decided to reorgan-
ize his army on an improved system,
replacing the ill-disciplined horde of
troops with a smaller, but well drilled
and well equipped army. 1t is improb-
able that more than 5000 men will be
recruited as the sultan realizes that
his army will never be required ex-
cept against his own subjects, and
with that number he ought to be able
to hold his tribes in check.

TO BUILD MORE WARSHIPS
Fourth DTeadnought viii Be Laid
Down at Fiumme

VIENNA, Dec lit is announced
that the fourth of the new Austro- Hun
garian dreadnoughts will be laid down
at the Panubius private shipbuilding
yard, in Fiumn1e. which is to be ex-
tended for the purpose. According to
information from Budapest, the extern
sion is to be carried out with the help
of the Hungarian government, which
has bought a piece of land adjoining
the yard for 100000 and will lease it
to the company at an almost nominal
rent. Further space will be gained by
filling up a small bay.
The determination of the government
to have third dockyard besides those
at Trieste and Pola, capable of build
ing the largest size battleships, is evil
dence that 1t looks forward to a large
increase in warship construction in the
future. Hitherto Hungary has been
content that the larger war vessels
should be built in Austria. and it would
obviously not be worth while to recon
struct a shipbuilding yard for only
one vessel. Now, however, that the
policy of the monarchy is that 1t shall

ExoneratiOn of Transportation

FARM OUTPUT is ENORMOUS
Money Stiffens During Week;
Cash Outflow to West and
South Continues
Associated Pressl

NEW YORK, Dec. 11-Quite the
most important event last week in the
stock market was the decision of the
federal court in the Pennsylvania dis
trict declaring the Temple Iron COM
pany an Illegal corporation, but other-
wise sustaining the main contentious
of the several coal-carrying railroads
which control it.
The decision freed the transportation
companies from charges of general con-
spiracy in violation of the interstate
commerce laws, and was hailed with
satisfaction. It's influence was felt In
the recovery of the market from its
irregular and narrow tone of the days
Immediately preceding.
MESSAGE PLEAsES MARKET
The week. otherwise, was dull and
uninteresting. Such buying power or
disposition as was manifested at odd
moments came almost entirely from
the short interest, with a sprinkling of
odd lot buying, much of which was
reported to be for foreign account.
President Taft's message was we'll
received and gave heart to the leading
financial interests, but was otherwise
an inconsiderable market factor
Unusual interest was manifested in
the annual report of the secretary of
the treasury, more particularly the
recommendation urging REFORM III our
banking and currency systems. Fig
ures embraced in the yearly statement
of the secretary of agriculture called
renewed attention to the record-break-
ing corn crop, while the sum total of
all farm products is so vast as almost
to stagger the imagination.
CASH OUTFLOW CONTINUES
Money stiffened here during the
week and the cash outflow to western
and southern points continued. For
eign exchange fell to the lowest point
in four months and negotiations for
imports of gold from London were
under way.
Complete official returns from Wash

tional banks are well above legal re-
quirements.

ARREST OF JAPANESE SPY
IS REPORTED BY RUSSIANS
Cars Officers Believe Nipponese
Have Designs on VIadivOstok

ODESSA. Dec. 11.--A dispatch re-
ceived here from Vladivostok states
that a Japanese spy, disguised as a
fisherman, and using small sailing
boat. has been arrested by a harbor
guard cutter close to the ChamoYsky
Spit, a highly strategic point in the
immediate approach to the Russian far
eastern stronghold
The spy, believed to be Japanese
naval officer, was we'll equipped with
photographic and other survey instru-
ments A short distance away from
the spot where the arrest was made
was Japanese torpedo boat, which
on observing the capture of the small
boat and its occupant instantly put to
sea at full speed. The alleged spy will
be brought before a Vladiyostok court
martial. Curiously enough, it Is
commonly accepted belief among Rus
sian naval officers that, sooner or later,
Vladivostok and it's maritime province,
as we'll as the half of the island OF
Sakhalien remaining under the Rus
sian flag will pass into the possession
of the Japanese.

FRENCH EMPLOYERS MAY
UNITE FOR PROTECTION
Labor Disorders May Cause Or
ganization of Capital

PARIS, Dec. 1.-THE growth OF
grave disorders arising out of LABOR
disputes and fomented by the Conted-
Grafton Generate du Travail, or work
mems association of trade unions ana
trade councils, has suggested to em-
ployers of labor the necessity of de-
fensive organization. Under the aus
pices mainly of the building trade a
meeting attended by some 1000 persons
was accordingly held in the Cirque de
Paris The order of the day called
attention to the constant agitation
which since 1906 has been excited in
the building trade by the Confedera-
tion Generate du Travail" and invited
contractors. architects, house proprie-
tors and other interested parties to
form an organization against the com
mon peril.
The principal speaker, NJ. Villemain,
president of the United Builders asso-
Citations. characterized the Confedera-
tion Generate as ian organization
which skillfully took advantage Of all
those laws which were favorable to
its activities and treated the rest with
disdain." During the past year the
Confederation Generate had been re-
sponsible for go strikes. which he cal
culated represented a loss of $SOO,0OO in
wages The time had come for en-
ployers to consider whether they were
to stand aside and allow their inter-
ests to be annihilated or to take action
and oppose a policy Of evolution to
that of revolution.
Four resolutions were then adopted
dealing with the necessities of the sit
uation and the recent action of the
government in the railway strike, of
which the fourth declared it to be in
tolerable that trade unions or fedora
tions of unions should under the guise
of corporate activity exceed the limits
of the sphere which was assigned to
them by law as labor organizations.
In this connection the meeting paid a
tribute to the courage and firmness
which had been exhibited by NJ. Bri-
and, the premier, in confronting the
revolutionary movement excited on the
occasion of the recent railway strike,
and congratulated the majority of the
chamber of deputies on the support
which it had given to the prime minis
ter. The meeting called upon the gov-
ernment and the chamber to give eff
feet to its just desires. Finally res
olution was adopted in favor of great
organization of employers, more es-
pecially in the building and allied
trades for the defense of property and
of common interests.

IRISH LEADERS, DAUGHTER
MAKES EMMET STAGE HERO
Manager in London Accepts
Work of Miss Redmond

LONDON, Dec 11.-Miss Joanna
Redmond, a daughter of the Irish
leader, has completed a one-act play,
which has been accepted for produc-
ton at the Palace theater London.
The piece deals with the times, and in
cidentally the career of Robert En-
met. Miss Redmond does not intro
duce in her drama the young mar
tyr" but the play is full of the atmos-
phere of the period, and great atten-
ton is being given by the stage man
agement of the Palace to preserve this
behind the footlights.
There are five characters, and the
action turns on an episode in that
period of the rebellion when Emmet
was secretary to the secret directory
of the United Irishmen. The coming
production at the Palace will not be
in the nature of debut. Miss Red
monds first efforts as dramatist
were made two years ago at the Court
theater, when a play of hers was seen
with her sister Esther in the part of
heroine.

WAR ON TRAFFIC
IN WHITE SLAVES
Delegates at International Con-
gress in Madrid Discuss
Growing Evil

PARIS, Dec. 11.-A remarkable
growth in the movement against the
white slave traffic is reported by W. A.
Coote, who has lust returned from the
international congress in Madrid.
"At no previous gathering of the
kind" he said to a Westminster Ga
zette representative, ''has there been so
much official recognition from the Eu-
ropean governments. Among the 400
delegates there were eleven official rep
resentatives of the Spanish govern
ment, and at each of the eight sittings
the deliberations were attended by
Princess Isabella and Princess Paz of
Bavaria. The governments of Germa-
ny, Argentina, Austria Hungary, Bel
GUM, Chile and Denmark were also
officially represented; and Great Brit
ain, the headquarters of the interna-
tional bureau, took a prominent part in
the discussions. The interest of the
clergy was sufficiently indicated by the
presence among the delegates of six
archbishops and a score of bishops"
Mr.. Coote said it had been clearly
shown by the reports of the various
national committees that the laws deal
ing with this repulsive business had in
several instances been considerably
strengthened. Austria, Germany, Hun
gary, France and Holland" he said,
"have all made good progress in this
direction since our last conference"
LAWS AGAINST SLAVE MEN
Each country now has special de-
partment for dealing with this matter
in connection with the police organiza-
ton, and the reports from these CEN
ters all indicate that the white slave
drivers are having anything but a good
time.
Laws are one thing commented
Mr.. Coote, "but it was shown that in
connection with this work we have
repressive legislation, well supported by
jealous administration, with the result
that throughout the continental cities
the tracking and conviction of these
criminals Is proceeding vigorously. For
this happy activity we have largely to
thank the women of Europe and Amer
lea, who have entered the lists on be-
half of their sisters with an enthusiasm
that makes success assured.
1.-THE international Catholic associa-
ton, through their committees of ladies
at the continental railway stations, has
dealt with 100000 young women during
the past year-advising some. helping
others and taking active steps, where
necessary, to save them from a perilous
position. Another organization of Ia
dies, Les Amies de la Jeune File, ope-
rating in Switzerland, reported that
several thousands of young women had
been met and befriended at the end of
their railway journeys.
1.-THE governments and peoples of the
civilized world" said Mr.. Coote in con-
clusion, "are at last recognizing that
the root cause of this trouble is to be
found in the economic situation in re-
gard to women; and this phase of the
question is being dealt with increasing
ly by the national committees. So
great has been the growth of public
opinion on this subject, as revealed by
the Madrid congress, that we shall look
forward with confidence and hope to
the next international gathering, which
will be held in London three years
hence"

GIVES PATAUD PERMISSION
TO BURY CHILD IN FRANCE
French Premier Grants Singular
Request of Noted Fugitive

PARIS, Dec. i'm. Pataud, the ex-
secretary of the electricians syndicate,
who fed to Belgium in order to evade
a warrant for his arrest, issued during
the recent strike, from his asylum at
Mons addressed a singular petition to
M. BRAND. This was that he should
be granted a safe conduct to enable
him to return and bury in French soil
his little girl who had just died at
Mons at the age of 4 years.
1t is impossible to grant safe con-
duct to persons who have fed from
Justice in France, but M. BRAND, who
is by no means the brutal despot that
his enemies would have people believe,
informed M Pataud that the execution
of the warrant would be suspended
sufficiently long to enable him to carry
out his desire.

TURKS CLEAR RUSSIAN
MARKET OF ARMY HORSES

ODESSA, Dec. 11.-Numerous parties
of Turkish military and veterinary
commissioners have during the last
two months purchased cavalry re-
mounts to the number of 5000 in South
Russia. The proprietor of large stud
farm in this government reports that
the Ottoman commissions have for the
time being practically cleared the
southern markets of all the best ami
mails for cavalry and artillery service.
The commissioners are now buying
horses in central Russia.
Turkish cavalry remounts are every
year bought in Russia, but never be-
fore have the purchases been on so
large a scale. They will this year ag-
gregate about $4,000 horses.
