TAFT MESSAGES
Asks Repeal Of Law Prohibiting
Slaughter Of Seals
WANTS AID FOR ECONOMY PLAN

States that s25o.0oo Appropriation by
Congress for Continuation OF Ef-
ficlency Commissions Work Might
Result In Savings Of Millions for
Country.
President Taft In a special massage
20 the United NStates congress rec
commended the repeal of the act Of
congress, passed more than a year
ago. which prohibited for five years
the killing OF fur seals on the Pribilof
islands.
Investigation, the president said.
showed a remarkable increase in the
size of the herd in one season and
proved conclusiyely that only the fe-
male seals and the bull male seals
need protection and that thou nds OF
bachelor" seals can be killed each
year without reducing the herd.
Economy Message Sent In.
Congress was asked in another spe-
cial message by President Taft 10 ap-
propriate s250,000 for continuing the
investigation by the commission on
economy and efficiency OF the execu-
tive departments of the government.
In his message the president points
out that there is no greater service
that can be rendered to the country
than that OF the continuance OF the
work OF the commission, until some
form OF organization is provided for
continuously doing this kind of work
under the executive"
President Taft expresses the opin-
fon that the technique and procedure
OF every branch and Office of the gov
eminent should be submitted to as
painstaking examination as that given
those on which reports have been
made. To do this, however, he says
ample funds must be provided, and he
asks that congress make the s250,OO0
appropriation by March for the In.
coming president.
Leads TO Saving OF Millions.

gress should assume that public

total cost OF about $4,000 during the
twenty-one months covered by the
work of the commission, facts have
been developed and recommendation
have been made that If followed up
will result In savings OF millions OF
dollars each year. This has been
done under the handicap OF made
quate funds and uncertainty OF con
tinuation which interfered with the
making of plans which could not be
completely executed within a few
months. II would be very much to
the advantage OF the administration
II the president were authorized to
spend whatever amount he may deem
20 be necessary within the next two
years. the only condition attached be-
ing that he render an account OF ex-
penditures."

PEAC- TALK ENDS
Turkey Comedies Much, but
Refuses to Cede AdTianOpIe.
MEETING AOJOURNS SINE DIE

Resehid Pasha Insists that Action o,
Allies Is Equivalent TO Breaking
OF Negotiations and Renewing War
Final Outcome Of Matter still n.
Great Doubt.
AT London. Eng. Turkey refused
fatty to give up Adrianople when she
made her definite answer TO the de-
mands OF the allies.
After the delegates Of the Balkan
allies had conferred for twenty min
utes they announced the meeting ad-
journed sine die over the protest OF
Reschid Pasha, head OF the Turkish
delegation, who said the allies might
as well break up the negotiations and
renew the war.
The answer made 20 him was. in
effect, that il Turkey considered that
there had been rupture. II could
do so and start the war again as soon
as IL pleased
Does Not concede Enough.
Turkey, in her answer to the de
mands OF the allies, made several i'm.
portant concessions, but these fell far
short OF what the allies had been ask
ing and say they will insist on. Tur-
key offered 70 give up the island OF
Crete, but demanded. as return for
this concession, that the allies de-
mand no other islands in the Aegean
sea. Turkey also offered 20 discuss
some more the frontier line between
Turkey and Bulgaria, but made plain
that "this frontier must leave Adrian
ople In Ottoman territory"
IF. in spite of these sacrifices" the
reply says, "the allies are minded TO
break off the negotiations all the re-
sponsibilities and consequences OF
this rupture will fall on them, and In
this case we herewith declare null and
void all the concessions we have
made hitherto"
Suspend Work Of Conference.
The delegates OF the allied states
withdrew for conference In private
after Reschid Pasha had read Tur-
keys statement. In twenty minutes
the delegates returned and read
statement 90 the effect that. as Tur-
key had not proposed a plan which
correspondent to the demands OF the
allies and as Turkeys proposals were
such that II looked as II no conclu-
sion could be arrived at, they felt oh.
liged TO suspend the work OF the con.
ference.
Stojan Novakovitch. head OF the
Servian ENJOYS, Immediately declared
the session closed. Reschid protested
vehemently, but the allies. coolly he
gan TO leave the room.
Finally NJ. Venezelos. head OF the
Greek delegation, said that the allies
would readily assent 10 reopening the
conference II the Turks had anything
OF sufiici mt Importance to offer. He
made II plain. though. that the allies
would consider nothing OF sufficient
importance TO reopen the conference
except full compliance with their
d mands.
