The Grand Vizier Declares Neither Will Country
 Give Up AdrianOple

Paris. December s.-The Temps prints a Constantinople dispatch embodying an interview with the grand vizier kiamil Pasha With regard to the peace negotia- tons, the grand vizier said Turkey could not permit Albania to be cut in two, to en- able Servia to reach the sea, and could not give up Adrianople. He refused. how ever, to indicate what concessions Turkey was prepared to make.
 Asked if the government favored Tur- keys entry into the Balkan federation, Kiamil said that all depended on the value of the Federation, and what advan- tage Turkey was likely to find in such union.
 With respect to the portes attitude on foreign affairs. kiamil said the porte de- sired art ssas Feetiired to stand well with all the powers, blt that it must not be forgotten that Turkey was maritime country, and it was therefore her more especial interest to have good relations with certain maritime powers.
 The governments policy, he added. would be an extremely liberal one, and would introduce numerous reforms as soon as the end of the war permitted.
 T am happy to be able 10 affirm, con oIuded the grand vizier, that no crisis threatens the internal policy of Turkey, and that the government is sufficiently strong to settle in perfect calm the num- erous difficult questions now outstand- ing '

SEVERAL HANG|NGS IN OREGON FRIDAY Portland Citizens in Mass Meeting Will Seek Re-
 prieves for Men

Portland, Ore, December S.-Deeision of Governor oswald West that five con- demned murderers all shall be hanged next Friday. precipitated anti-eap.tal punishment sentiment here into a mass meeting today, at which it was decided to attempt to get reprieves for the five.
 Some of the condemned men have been under sentence for more than a year. All were reprieyed by Governor West, pending the outcome of the vote on capital punishment, taken November 5. The proposal to abolish it lost by 20 900 votes and Governor West, who is strongly opposed to the death penalty, decided to hang all five men the same day, intending. it was said, to let the people of the state see just what they had ordered done.

Grand Trunks Operations in New England Also to
 Be Investigated
ARCHIBALD TRIAL TO
 DEMAND ATTENTION
Believed Inquiries Into Campaign Expenditures and the Shipping Trust" Will Be Under Way by
 the End of the Week

Washington. December S.-The ''resump- tion of the money trust investigation to- morrow and a hearing Tuesday on the O'Shaunessy resolution for congress sional inquiry into the Grand Trunk and New York; New Haven and Hartford railroad operations in New England prom ise to divide congressional attention this week with the Archibald impeachment trial and the consideration of general legisla- ton in the two houses.
 Before the end of the week it was ex- pected two other inquiries would be under way-the campaign expenditures investi- gation by the Clapp oommmttee and the shipping trust" inquiry by the House committee on merchant marine. Bankers and financiers from New York, Baltimore and Pittsburg are under subpoena to ap- pear before Chairman Pujo's money trust investigation committee during the week.
 The trial by impeachment of Judge Archibald of the commerce court, which began in the Senate last Tuesday, had wearied a majority of the members of that body by the end of the week. Ef- forts were to be made this week through the medium of longer sessions to hasten the presentation of testimony.
 Appropriation legislation was to hold the right of way in the House. It was eX- pected that the legislative, executive and judicial bill would be completed and passed during the week, and that eonsid- eration of the Indian appropriation bill would be begun.
 The Senate committee on appropria- tions had kept abreast of development in the House on the executive bill, and il was believed the measure would be ready for the Senate in few days after the Senate commmittee received 1t. That committee probably will make changes that will add several millions of dollars to the measure.
 Criticism of Roosevelt and the progress sive party and of President Taft was ex- pected in the Senate early in the week from Senator Works of California. It was understood he had prepared a speech based upon the revelations of campaign contributions and expenditures.
