Turkeys Action.
TO GIVE UP FORTRESSES
Difficulties May Arise Concerning
Fate of Scutari.
DEMANDS OF KING NICHOLAS
Insists on Entering City With
Troops-Signing of Treaty
May Be Delayed.

LONDON. January 23-fhe immediate
consequences of the decision of the
Turkish grand council to conclude peace
with the Balkan allies will be the ces-
sation of hostilities between Greece and
Turkey. and the surrender of the Turk
ish fortresSes of Adrianople. Janina
and Scutari. At all three fortresses
the Turkish garrisons will withdraw
with the honors of war.
Difficulties may arise concerning the
fate of Scutari. as no one knows to
whom it is to be surrendered, whether
10 the Montenegrins, to a provisional
Albanian government, or to ...e repre-
sentative of the powers.
King Nicholas of Montenegro insists
that he must enter Scutari at the head of
his troops. Otherwise, he says, the reign
of his family in Montenegro is doomed. as
he. contrary to the advice of his generals,
refused to try to take Scutari by storm
at the beginning of the war in order to
avoid the certain heavy losses which his
small army would have suffered.
In Favor of Temporizing.
lie preferred the te.nporizlng policy of
aging siege to the fortress. and should
Scutari for this reason be lost to the
Montenegrins he alone will be considered
IeSponSlDle.
The members OF the Turkish peace
delegation in London show signs of de-
preston, but they are determined that
the era OF concessions now must be re-
Earded as finally closed. They say they
ar" convinced that the powers will sup
port them in rejecting the demands of
the allies for war indemnity.
All fears of resumption of the war
having been removed the allies now are
planning the withdrawal of large bodies
of troops at an early date. The delegates
in London, however, think that a month
may pass before the final signatures arc
put toe the peace treaty as to the settle
ment OF exact frontiers. The questions of
indemnity and the guarantees in regard
10 the mosques and sacred places of
.Adrianople still have to be arranged

merly managing editor of the New York

Mr.. Mooney testified he negotiated for
copies of only a few of the Archbold let
ters: that they We're brought to the Amer
lean offices by q white man, whose name
he did not know, and that he paid less
than $500
az believed that with letters containing
matter Of this sort 1t was some ones duty
to make them public. They showed that
senators and representatives sworn to
protect the public interests were COM
hitting treason against the people, Mr..
Mooney told the committee.
Made Photographic Copies.
He testified that when he became man
aging editor of the New York American
in 1904 John Eddy. previously fity ed
itor, turned over to him a number of
Photographic copies of Standard Oil cor

those were obtained Mr.. Mooney could

had negotiated with Mr.. Chamberlain for
any letters He added further that he
never had talked with Mr.. Hearst about
the correspondence. and never had bought
any of the originals.
Mr. Mooney branded the statement that

point where the men We're working is
filled with debris for a distance of more
than seventeen feet. 1t is supposed that
the fall was caused by an explosion of

Foreman David Davis was thrown
against the breast of the mine and badly
stunned by the force Of air which pre-
ceded the fall.
Continuous timbering is necessary to
protect the rescuers and the work is

LITTLE HOPE FOR MINERS
Rescuers Work in Relays at
~Tamaqua CoI|iery to Save
Three Entombed Men. ~ g

POTTSVILLE, Pa, January 23.-There
is little hope among the gangs Of rescu-
ers at work at the East Lehigh colliery
at Tamaqua that the three men entombed
there yesterday will be rescued alive. as
it is believed that they were caught i'll
the fall Of top rock and killed instantly
The nature Of the debris indicates that it
may be a week before the bodies can be
reached.
This is the second time men We're en-
tombed in this mine this month. The
other accident resulted in the death of
one while seven were rescued alive after
forty hours.

MAY YIELD TO TAFT.
Democrats Likely to 0. K.
Commissioner Nominations.
ONLY INVOLVES SITUATION.
Republicans, Desiring Other Con-
frmations, May Hold Back.
PUBLIC MEETINGS SCHEDULED
Some Citizens Will Today Indorse
Oyster and Rudolph, While 9th
ers Will Voice Objections.

1t may be the republicans. after all.
that will block the confirmation in the
Senate of the nominations of Cuno H.
Rudolph and James F. Oyster to be Dis
trict Commissioners. That is the devel-
opment of today at the Capitol in con-
nection with the effort to push the con-
firmations through the upper house of
Congress.
Advocates of confirmation saw some
blue sky through the dark clouds that
have been obscuring the confirmation
sun, when it was limited by the demo-
Gratis that President-to-be Wilson
might intimate he did not want the
privilege of selecting new District
Commissioners. and in that case the
democrats in the Senate would, Of
course. not oppose the confirmation Of
the two men selected by President Taft
for the new terms.
Stand of Republicans.
Republicans indicated today, however.
they would probably not be willing to
allow the democrats make an exception
in the case of the District Commissioners
by allowing them to be confirmed while
other nominations are held up. The re-
publicans. it is pointed out. are standing
on the principle that the nominations of
President Taft should be confirmed SO
that vacancies that have occurred during
his administration may be filled.
Naturally republican senators would
like to see nominations for places in their
respective states confirmed. Republicans.
therefore. it is argued, are to ask for
confirmation of other appointments in
case the democrats should have a change
of heart and desire the confirmation Of
the Commissioner nominations.
Republicans are not willing that the
democrats should be the arbiters in de-
Gliding what nominations shall be con-
firmed and which shall not. To allow the
Commissioner nominations to be con-
firmed. without others, because the demo-
Gratis We're willing to make the exception,
republicans argue. is to give the demo-
Gratis the power Of arbiterS.
Referred to Committee.
The nominations of Rudolph and Oyster
We're referred yesterday afternoon, in ex-
ecutive session of the Senate. to the Sen
ate District committee.
4 poll of the committee is on today to
determine whether or not a majority ap-
prove. In case the approval Of a major
ity is obtained the nominations probably
will be reported back to the Senate with
the committees recommendation that
they be confirmed Democratic opposition
to confirmation in the committee. how
ever. may have the effect of holding
them in the committee and forcing their
consideration at a full meeting of the
committee.
Senator Gallinger. the chairman. is
known to be favorable to the nominations
and to their confirmation. and he will do
all in his power to get the names con-
firmed.

Public Meetings Today.

With William F. GUIDE. former president
of the Chamber of Commerce, and John
F.. Costello, democratic national commit
teeman, presiding over the rival meet
ings. two big public demonstrations will
be held in Washington today to indorse

President Taft for the District of Co
lumbia civilian commissiOnerships, which
are to be vacated tomorrow.
The first meeting. which will be held
at 4::D o'clock this afternoon in the New
National Theater, will be in no sense a
political gathering, 1t is announced, but
it is intended as sort of good govern
ment" exposition. to which the public is
invited and at which speeches will be
made laudatOry of the character of the
men selected by President. Taft to COM
pose a non-partisan board of Commission
ers for the District. Mr. GUIDE will pre-
side at this meeting

Cause of Opposition.

Mr.. Costello said that the democrats
who are opposing confirmation of the
nominations are not making the fight on
personal grounds. They. have nothing
against Commissioner Rudolph or Conf
oyster. he said. but believe that the nomi.
nations should be made by President
Taft'S successor.
Prominent business men Of Washing
ton, representatives OF the citizens as
sociations, the clergy and other inter
ests will speak at the mass meeting in
the New National Theater this after-
noon. Resolutions will be offered com
mending the President for his selection
Of Commissioner Rudolph to succeed
himself and Capt. James F.. Oyster to
succeed Gen. John y. Johnston. who
was not a candidate for reappointment
The meeting will be non-politicaI in
character said Mr.. Guide today ut is
for the purpose of bringing out the
choice of the people of the District of
Columbia for District Commissioners.
President Taft has appointed non
partisan board. consisting of one mem
ber WHO already has served a term as
a Coz missioner, and won the confidence

Will Oppose Confirmation.

The other session scheduled at which, II
is expected, resolutions will be framed
aslling the Senate to withhold confirma-
ton of President Taft's nominations on
the ground that President-to-be Wilson
should name the men who are to serve
as Commissioners during his administra-
tion, will be held at . o'clock tonight in
Old Masonic Temple.
The meeting tonight was planned origi-
nally as a get together conference Of
all the candidates for delegate and alter
nate to the central democratic commit
tee voted for at the democratic primaries
last spring. 1t was decided at a gather
ing of democrats in National Committee
man CostellO's headquarters last night
to hold a mass meeting instead of the
conference.
Resolutions were adopted at last night 8
session protesting against confirmation
of President Tafts nominate ,ons The
resolutions, which were prepared by John
b. COlpoys. Edward T. Benton, jr James
S. Easby-Smith ad William Nick. Clay
ton. are as follows:
BE 1T resolved. That we pledge the
organized democracy of the District of
Columbia to use every proper effort to
for Commissioners of the District of CO.
lumbia.
I'VE believe that these nOmina tions
We're moved by selfish political expedi-
ency on the part of a President whose
every act has received the disapprOval of
the American people.
I'VE insist in the name of political

Commissioners of the District Of Column

administration"

TO MAKE TEST
Enect Of POTTERY Tsrin Reducti

Effect Of Pottery Tariff Reduction
Will Be Watched.
New York, Oct. 23.-The effect OF
the tariff reduction on pottery.
whether it will compel a decrease or
permit an increase in the wages of
employees in that trade-will be tested
under tentative two-year wage
agreement. signed today between the
United States Potters association and
the National Brotherhood of Opera
tive Potters.
The agreement reached after =
week Of negotiations. renews the
present wage schedule for two years
but provides that either side may re-
open the negotiations on sixty days
notice given not earlier than February
!. 1914 and not later than August /,
1914. -
The operatives asked for q ten per
cent increase in wages and the en-
ployers desired to reduce wages on
the ground that the lower tarifr will
lessen their profits. Today's com.
promise was accepted until the actual
effect Of the new tariff can be de.
termined. Should neither side give
notice before August I. the agreement
will become permanent until October
20. 1915.
