DR. DENNY SILENT
 ON CO-EDUCAT|ON Also Declines to Discuss Medical College Plans 200 NEW FRESHMEN New President Greatly Elated Over Prospects of Large Attendance
 at the Session Which
 Began Yesterday
By HUGH ". ROBERTS

Tuscaloosa. September 5.-tSpecial)- This is not to be the last session in which co-education will be a feature al the University of Alabama, and the report to the contrary. which has been more or less prevalent throughout the state. is unfounded in fact.
 George H. Denny, president of the uni versity, did not state this morning whether he was or whether he was not in favor of eo-education. But when asked if he would make an effort To have the custom discontinued at the conclusion of the current year, he smiled and shook his head.
 T think" however he said, that the state should make preparations for the accommodation of the young ladies who attend the university. A eommodious hall should he constructed for their eor fort and requirements. And I am in favor of selecting lady. prominent throughout the state, and renowned for her streng,h, whose duty it will be to take charee of the young ladies'
 pr. Denny declined to discuss the prop ostion of the university taking charge of the Birmingham Medical college Inas- much it is generally believed that the trustees in their September meeting will act favorably on whatever recommends ton pr Denny makes in regard to the medical college, he was asked if he had determined on the course he will pursue?
 'I am somewhat like Woodrow Will son.. he replied. ''in that l will reserve my decision until the day of the trustees meeting" He would discuss the point in no manner less vague.
 The new president is very much elated over the prospects of large attendance for the session which began today. The campus was well filled with new students. and members of the faculty were busy ir assisting in matriculation and classit- cation The indications are that there will be at least 200 freshmen-and as the ueational institution. the prospects are ex- oeptionally encouraging.
 It has been busy day. The fraternity rush is well underway, and freshmen hav- ing been well spiked" are beginning to appear with lapels decorated with vari- ooored ribbons. Coach Graves is on the scene. and with q masters eye is sizing up the new material with the view of forming q winning football team.
 It is a busy and gay crowd-scarcely aware of trouble in store in the nature of long winters grind-and of the in- finite joy which will find it's real express sion in the way of memories throughout all tf1e years to come.

NEGOTIATIONS NOT
 ABANDONED YET
Little Credence Placed in Report That TurkO-Italian War Cannot
 Be Ended

Chiasso. Switzerland. September D. Little credence is placed in reports be- ing circulated that negotiations be- tween Italy and Turkey are to be aban- doned on the ground that It has been found impossible to conclude peace. These reports are considered as mepelv aiming to influence public opinion so the respective governments may obtain better concessions.
 Italy, 1t is stated. has assurances from all the powers that no matter what happens they will not Interfere on the question of Iibya. 1t was after these assurances, and on the condition set forth, that Italy agreed to Count Von Berchholds proposition respect ing granting gradual autonomy for all the European provinces or furkey, As a conseauence if an international conference is held, as is likely. at Vien- na to discuss the plan proposed by the Austro Hunlxary foreign minister, the matter of I.ibya will not be gone into. while the Aegean Islands together with the rest of the European Turkey will be fully considered.
 It is believed that the administra- ton at Constantinople understands this and wishes to check the consummaton of Count Non Berchhold's plan, which means substantially control by the powers over European Turkey It IS to Turkeys interests. therefore. to enter into a direct agreement with Italy

Atlanta, September 5-Special)-With all the fuss that has been kicked up over Governor Browns veto of the mile- age bill, it is considered exceedingly doubtful if the railroad commission after all of its hearings will attempt to pass an order requiring that railroads pull mileage on their trains.
 In fact, it is understood that certain members of the commission do not thina they have the authority to issue such an order, nor did they think the legisla- ture could pass such a law and make 1t stick. One of the attorneys for the travelling men who are petitioning for such an order expressed similar view to the commission.
 The principle is. according to tine state ment made of it. that the commission, after saying that 21a cents shall be the maximum rate of passenger fare. has no authority to prescribe the conditions under which tickets shall be sold at lower rate, or 2 cents a mile.
 But it seems to be conceded that the commission has the authority to say that if the railroads sell mileage at all. no
  it on their trains in exchange for trans portation. If the commission should ls- sue such an order as this. It would then be up to the railroads to decide whether they would continue to issue mlleage ., accepting the condition fixed by the com mission or to abandon the sale of mile age altogether. requiring everyone to buy straight ticket.
 It is generally believed that such an order would at least result in the with drawal of all interchangeable mileage, which is good on six or eight different lines, and enables the travelling man to reach almost any point in the state; and that if the sale of mileage were contin- ued at all it would be good only on the individual lines. That is what the rail- roads did in South Carolina, and there is no reason to believe they would ado any different plan in Georgia. 1t looks, therefore. as if it becomes d question with the travelling man as to whether he would prefer to have inter- changeable mileage and continue to ex change it for tickets, or would prefer to do without it.
 An attempt has been made to make 1t appear that Governor Brown vetoed the mileage bill in order to pay polit- icai debt to the railroads. Of course there is no foundation for thls except in she minds of his prejudiced adversariss.

Jackson, Miss, \ September 5.-(Special) The railroad commission adjourned yes- terday afternoon, having cleared their docket of the more important business. A number of railroad men were present both days of the meeting to protest against the rates ordered a month ago on sand and gravel, and the matter was gone into very thoroughly, The railroads declare the rates are not only prohibitory but con fscatory. The commission has the propo- sition to revise the rate under consider ation, and it is possible there will be some changes.
