London, Dec. 24.-Hopeful for
peace, but ready to fight, the ENJOYS
of the Balkan allies went to st.
James palace, determined to force the
Turks to a definite decision.
The question of the resumption of
hostilities now rests on the Turkish
demand for permission to lrevictual

stand that the negotiations must con-

The Balkan delegates will fatty re-

less the powers offer an acceptable
plan of mediation, giving to the al
lies the privileges and preference
which they believe theirs, as due to

IMPoSSIBILITY.
ALL BANKS COULD NOT DO IT

is. personal as to money and creolts.
The big financier was led up to MS
answer by the examination OF Samuel
Untermyer, counsel for the commit,
tee. who asked Mr.. Morgan II ne olo
not feel his vast power.
Mr. Morgan answered that he ola
not feel it. Once when the lawyer
and the witness got into a discussion
of competition and combination, MT.
Morgan said:
"I'd rather have combination than
competition. like little competl-
ton but I like combination better.
Control is the important thing. WITH
out it YOU can't do a thing, but no one
man could monoplize money one
man might get control of railroads. or
merchandise, but never money ana
credit"
Mr.. Morgans declaration that there
could be no money trust, empna-
sized by a vigorous bang with MS nst
on the arm of his chair, came toward
the end of the committees session al
which the financier testified as 10
the relations of the house OF Morgan
with several great corporations.
Mr. Morgan testified that he had
anproyed the prices at which the sub
salaries of the United States Steel
corporation were taken into the big
corporation. Mr.. Untermyer asked II
he had not named the board OF dl-

Mr. Morgan only said that he might
have decided who shouldn't go on. :
"Can't you give the committee a
statement of the deposits OF your
banking firm in New York as of No
vember II" asked Mr.. Untermyer.
Mr.. Morgan appropriated it at
$100.0O0,00O.
Mr.. Morgan produced, in response
to a question, copies of the fiscal
agreements U0LWCCA MIL 51A N
Co and the New York Central and
the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford Railroad companies. Mr. Nor
gan said that there were no other
such agreements made by his house
He said the firm acted as fiscal agents
for other companies ''by tacit agree
ment."
"You are acting for a number OF
other corporations, are you not. in
Guiding the United States Steel cor
poration?" suggested Mr.. Untermyer
Eyes, but that is by a resolution Of
the hoard of directors Of the steel
corporation" said Mr.. Morgan.
AS to other agreements whereby
the Morgan house became fiscal

were "by word of mouth or by CORE
spondence."

THIRD MESSAGE is IN
TAFT REVIEWS WORK OF THREE
DEPARTMENTS I'M DOCUMENT.
Declares Lost Motion in Machinery
Of Government Due to Lack OF
Cooperation.

Washington, Dec 21.-Work in the
post office. interior and commerce and
labor departments and affairs in the
District of Columbia were reviewed in
a special message, the third since the
short session of. congress began, was
submitted to the two houses by Pres
ident Taft on Thursday
Transcending in interest what the
president has to say about the work
of the departments mentioned, in his
direct recommendation in sort OF
departments should be given seats on
the floor of congress.
On this matter the president says:
Il recommend the adoption of legisla-
ton which shall make it the duty of
heads of departments, the members of
the presidents cabinet, at convenient
times to attend the sessions of the
house and the senate, which shall
provide seats for them in each house,
and give them the opportunity to take
part in all discussions and to answer
questions of which they have had due
notice. The rigid holding apart OF
the executive and the legislative
branches of this government has not
worked for the great advantage OF
either. There has been much lost
motion in the machinery due to the
lack Of cooperation and interchange
OF views face to face between the rep
resentatives of the executive and the
members of the two legislative
branches OF government.
In the departmental section of his
message President Taft speaks of the
recent placing of $4,000 postmasters
on civil service basis and says that
nothing could be further from the
truth than the charge that the change
was made for political purposes.
The president recommends revision
of the land laws so that the interior
department can work to the ends Of
proper conservation of the natural re-
sources of the country.
"The trust question in the enforce
ment of the Sherman antitrust law is
gradually solving itself, is maintain
ing the principle and restoring the
PA1SSAOO VI CO1uQCt1I1On, d1Q IL LAO IA w
is quietly but firmly enforced, bust
ness will adjust itself to the statutory
requirements, and unrest in CONNER
cial circles provoked by the trust
discussion will disappear"
In writing of the work of the agrl-
cultural department. the president
discusses agricultural credits" He
says: "The secretary of agriculture
has made an investigation into the
matter of credits in this country, and
l command consideration of the in
formation which through his agents
he has been able to collect. 1t does
not in any way minimize the impor-
lance Of the proposal, but it gives
more accurate information upon some
of the phases of the question than we
have heretofore had"

COMMITTEE PLAN PROPOSED
Assemblyman RoessIer Will Presen,
Bill to Give Every Member of
Lower House One Assignment.

Jefferson. - Assemblyman o. F..
Roessler will offer a resolution as
soon as the legislature convenes to
limit the number of assembly com
mittees to eleven and providing that
no assemblyman shall be a member
of more than one committee. The
senate adopted this larger committee
plan last session and it proved a suc4
cess. If the plan should be adopted
each member of the legislature would
be on single committee and every
member would have a committee as
signment.

PROTEST IS FILED.
DIRECT ELECTIONS AMENDMENT
STRONGLY QUESTIONED BY
GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.
COMMITTEE MAKES DECISION
-Solons See Error in Proposal for
Choice of U. S. Senators-JeaIous
Of States Rights-consttutionaI
Lawyers Confused by Claim.

Washington, Dec. 24.-Strongly as
sorting that the course followed was
unconstitutional, protest was filed
here Saturday by the legislature of
Georgia against the course taken by
congress in proposing to the states
constitutional amendment providing
for the direct election of United
States senators.
The Georgia claim brought confu-
sion on the constitutional lawyers in
congress. Of more Importance is the
fact that the adoption of a reform de-
-nanded by the people will be further
delayed.
Article of the Constitution pro-
gides that, "the congress, whenever
two-thirds of both. houses shall deem
1t necessary, shall propose amend
snents to the Constitution"
There are SO members of the senate
and 1877 members of the house The
| senate adopted the proposed amend
ment by Ga yeas to "a nays, and seven
not voting, one vacancy existing. The
house adopted the proposed amend
ment by vote of 238 yeas to 80 nays,
five responding present when their
names were called, ITO not voting, and
five vacancies existing Thus the SEN
ate gave the requisite two-thirds ma
jority, while the house did not The
house declared the amendment adopt
ed on the ground that two-thirds of
those present and voting approved the
amendment.
A joint committee Of the legislature
of Georgia in an exhaustive report de-
clared that the amendment did not
receive two-thirds of each house, and
therefore, was not proposed to the
states in the manner pointed out by
the Constitution for it's own amend
ment."
The report first declares the view
of the committee that the course ta-
ken in congress was in derogation of
tne rights of the states. 1t then d.
reefs the governor to return to the
federal legislature the communication
with protest against this violation Of
rights. 1t urges that copies of the re-
port be sent to senators and repre-
sentatives IN congress from Georgia
and further directs the governor to
send copies of the report to the gov
errors of all the other states with the
request that they lay the notification
before the several legislatures in the
hope they will support the Georgia
protest.
The report closes with the pledge
that Georgia will agree to the direct
election of senators provided the
amendment is submitted to the states
in constitutional manner"
Bearing in mind the historic reluc-
lance of the several states to part
with any of their reserved powers or
to permit any impairment of the SOW
ereignty and independence they had
wrested in war from the British crown
and so jealousy safeguarded in the
formation of this government. the re-
port says:
1T seems but prudent and proper
adherence to our just and honorable
traditions to consent to no changes in
the fundamental law except such as
are made in strict conformity to its
terms"
