Knox Not in Washington.

Acting Secretary Adee promised to
submit the protest to Secretary Knox,
who at present is absent from Washing
ton.
The ambassadors action vas based upon
a eablegram from the Turkish minister
for foreign affairs, Of which the follow
ing is a copy:
Your excellency has heard the news,
unfortunately confirmed, Of wholesale exc
cution of a great number of inha bitants
of Tripoli. perpetrated daily by the Italian
authorities.
The right of all able-bodied citizens to
fight for the supreme defense Of his In
vaded home is updeniable. It confers
on the said citizens the character of bel
ligerents and obliges the enemy to respect
the lives of those who fall into their
hands. But the Italians are viola ting not
only the sacred principle Of modern law
Of nations, but also the most elementary
rules Of civilization and humanity in
shooting down the natives who have
properly enlisted. and even the innocent
women and children. on mere suspicion
not to mention those deported by
thousands.

Turkey Appeals to Powers
to Stop italian Atrocities

Intervention by the United States gov
ernment and the great powers of Europe
in an effort to put an end Immediately to
the alleged barbarities practiced by the
Italian forces in Tripoli was urged yes
terday by the Turkish government. The
Turkish ambassador to this country for
mally laid the matter before the State
Department.
The subject was preached first in the
course of a verbal statement by the Turk
ish ambassador to Acting Secretary of
State Adee. and later in the day in the
shape of a letter. followed by a cable
gram from the Turkish minister for for
eign affairs.
In consequence Of the unprecedented
situation, some declaration of the posi-
ton Of the State Department in the mat
ter now is expected. From the text of
the cablegram it is inferred that a SINH
lar demand has been sent to all the great
powers.

ROME, November 6.-King Victor En-

Tripoli and Cyrenaica placed under the
full and entire sovereignty Of Italy" The
decree says that law will be framed
making definite regulations for their ad-
ministration, and until the law is for
mally promulgated, affairs will be car
red on through royal decree. The decree
will he submitted to parliament for
transformation into a law. 1t Is semi
officially announced that the following
has been sent to all Italian ambassa-
doris and ministers abroad for communi-
cation to the powers:
"The occupation OF the principal towns
of Tripoli and Cyrenaica, combined with
the enormous forces we have concen-
trated there, with the addition of those

key vain.
A Menace to Europe.
ION the other hand. in order to put an
end to useless bloodshed, it Is of urgent
Importance to dispel any dangerous I'M
certainty in the minds of the population
of Tripoli and Cyrenaica; therefore by
royal decree TripoH and Cyrenaica have
been definitely and irrevocably placed
under the full and entire sovereignty OF
Italy. Any less radical solution Of the
question. which would have left even a
vestige of the sovereignty Of the sultan
over the provinces, might have led to

one affording definite safeguard of the
interests of Italy and Europe, and even

, upon this basis will do away with al
cause of serious difference between Italy
and Turkey, and will enable us to inspire

have in the maintenance of the territorial
status quo of the Balkan peninsula. OF

No Immediate Action.

NO xmmeO1ACS ACV1Ous
In the absence from Washington OF
President Taft and Secretary Knox. 1t Is
probable that the State Department will
take no Immediate action upon the re-
quests Of the Ottoman government. AS a
similar demand probably has been made
by the Turkish government upon the other
powers signatory to The Hague conven-
ton whose interests in Africa are larger
than our own. 1t Is surmised that the
State Department will prefer to mark
time, awaiting a development OF the posi-
tions of the European powers before
passing upon the Turkish requests.
There are some indications that the
Turkish note has somewhat embarrassed
the State Department. Secretary Knox
undoubtedly will handle this particular
matter himself. but whether the mes
sages have been sent to him or will be
kept here until his return could not be
ascertained.

Convictions Now Necessary.

Mr.. Richards probably will include in
the bill provision whereby it will not be
necessary to obtain the conviction Of the
proprietor Of a saloon for violating the
excise laws in order to revoke his license.
This. 1t is pointed out, not only will give
the board more authority to revoke Ii
censes, but will permit of discretion in the
consideration Of the renewals Of liquor
licenses.
The assessor is thoroughly in sympathy
with the view of the Commissioners that
excise matters should be divorced from
the duties of the members of the board
of assessors and placed with board
consisting of the two judges of the Police
Court and the judge Of the Juvenile Court.

ASK GARBAGE
LAW CHANGE

Councilman Walter Rash at last
nights adjourned meeting OF City
Council, offered an ordinance amend
ing the present regulations governing
the collection of garbage. which after
receiving the accustomed two readings,
Was referred to the law committee
The amendment strikes out all refer
ence to keeping the lids on garbage
carts closed.
The garbage contractors have been
complaining Of this portion of the
garbage collection regulations. par
ticularly since DR.. Henry A. Cleaver,
a member Of the Board OF Health has
been so active in having violators ar
rested and fined in City Court The
contractors say it is almost impossible
TO keep the lids of carts closed and
collect garbage at the same time as the
collectors take only few steps from
one alley TO the next. and to keep
closing and lifting the lids of the carts
every few minutes would be losing
much time and accomplishing nothing,
They say they keep the lids
down in going 10 and from the crema-
tory, or any distance.
