TURKS REPLY To
NOTE Of POWERS
IN MILD TERMS
Say They Can Not Give Up
Aegean Islands, But Might
Cede Part of Adrianople.

STANTINOPLE. Jan. 3O.-After
a meeting of the cabinet council today
the reply of the Young Turks govern
ment to the recent collective note of
the powers was presented.
The Young Turks answered the de-
mand of the European powers that Tur-
key give way 10 the peace proposals Of
the Balkan allies by declaring that the
Turkish empire could not give up
Adrianople and the Aegean islands un-
der such terms as had been proposed
BY phrasing the refusal in this man
ner the Turks left the door open for
further negotiations
That the Aegean islands are needed
for the protection Of the Turkish coast
was the reason given for the refusal
TO give up the islands.
ConciI atory on Adrlanople.
Upon the concession of Adranople
more concilatory tone was adopted,
The porte suggested that part of the
city be coded. but that part be left un
der Turkish domination.
Any hope which the Turks might
have taken from the discord between
Servia and Bulgaria is overshadoWed
by the spread of the mutiny in the
Turkish army. The mutiny spread to-

Five thousand loyal troops have been

were checked and many of them were

LICENSES
LURE INDECENT
Something Must Be Done to
Prevent BeggarS Becoming
NuiSanCeS, Says Official.

Applications from indigents for free
alarming proportions in Atlanta that
members of the city council declared
today that something must be done to
prevent the system from becoming an
unbearable nuisance. They declare
that the free license system is caus-
ing people OF the beggar type TO come
to Atlanta from many other cities.
II think we virtually are giving these
people a license to beg, but it does
seem that they should be given an OPP
portunity to work if they are able.
Otherwise we viii have to provide for
them in the county home declared
Councilman Orville h Hall
Seventy-hve new applications We're
granted at the meeting of the tax COM
mittee They were from people Grip
pied. too old to do regular work and in
some cases diseased. When the mem
bers of the committee looked over the
group of petitioners. they were stirred
with pity and not one of them could re-
fuse to grant the requests for help.
State License Blamed.
Chairman McClelland declared that
one great trouble was the state license
tax Of $50. Those whom the state makes
pay come to the council committee with
pitiful tale of being out of money.
For a long while the state license law
was ignored by the county officials.
Chairman McClelland said that if the
state would lower its tax to a reasona-
bic amount, the city would be in better
position to refuse free licenses. He an
nounced that he would present rcso-
luton in the council asking the legis-
lature to lower the state license tax.
The Associated Charities and other
scientific charity organizations are very
much opposed to the free license sNs-
TEN. Their representatives declare that
instead of aiding the poor the free IL
cense system encourages begging and
increases the tendency among certain
! people to live as parasites. The idea of
the scientific charities is to restore the
indigents to a normal relation to So
ciety. SO as to make them as near self
sustaining as possible without begging

Tennessee Senator Makes an Unusual Speech
WEBB A UNIQUE FIGURE

ator- elect w. r. Webb of Bellbuckle,
aged principal of the famous Webb
school for boys. who left today for
Washington to succeed Senator Newell
Sanders for the remainder of the pres
ent session of congress. made one of
the most unusual political speeches
ever heard in Tennessee when he ad-
dressed the general assembly. acknowl-
edging his election, which took place
last week
He was introduced by Speaker New
ton II. White an old Webb school boy
as "the man who never did anything
on the sly-'Old Sawney.'"
Senator Webb appeared before the
assembly. almost overcome, apparently,
with the honor that had been conferred
upon him, and was greeted with enthu-
siastic applause. With his spectacles
on his nose, three little scraps of pa
per constituting the notes in his hand,
and a smile of genuine good feeling on
his face, he began to express his thanks
to the legislature in this manner:
