WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. T.-The
launch from the American cruiser Ten
nessee, which attempted to enter the
closed harbor Of Smyrna, was signalled
that IL was approaching a mine field be-
fore shots we're fired az a warning to the
little craft. according to the explanation
of the Turkish minister Of war to
American Ambassador MoFganthau. This
was announced by Secretary Bryan to-
night.
Mr. Bryan said he had received from
Mr. Morganthau a note addressed to
the latter by the Turkish minister Of war,
recording a previous conversation with
reference TO the Tennessee incident.
Not In Direction of Launch.
The note" said MIR. Bryan, contains
the statement from government officials
that the shots were fired after a signal
had been given to prevent the launch
from approaching mines and that they
were not fired in the direction of the
launch"
Mr.. Bryan said he could not tell from
the message whether the Turkish minis
ter Of war made the formal explanation
in response to the representations which
but he believed further dispatches would
clarity this point 1t is not thought pos
sible. however, that the note trans
mitted TO Mr.. Morganthau could have
been the formal answer of the Turkish
government to the representations as
ordinarily that would be made by the
grand vizier who is In charge OF the
Turkish foreign office.
Messages Garbled.
Some recent messages from CONSTANT
nople have been so garbled in transmits
sion. however, that officials thought the
note might have been, transmitted
through the Turkish foreign office from
the Ottoman department, which investi-
gated the matter.
In any event Washington officials are
awaiting further information before maxi
ing reply. though It is understood the
explanation is regarded as satisfactory
and the incident regarded as practically
closed.

''Under our present system non

building" says ]. w. Haynes, chair
man of the Buncombe county demo-

Gently put in writing, and the same is
in my possession. The representative
Of one of the largest estates in Ashe
Vile maintains $500 buildings or SIS,
900. lots, lives in the country, pays the
city no personal property tax, exacts
high rents from his tenants, and gives
nutGing in return. Benefciaries OF.
another very valuable estate live in a.
m4deiy advertised hostelry and refuse
ito raise their voices in the govern
4ment of the city of Asheville in order
to avoid paying a personal property
tax, and incidentally, liquidating an
honest debt due by them to society
for protection. A gentleman whose
word is worth par anywhere in the
state advises me that he paid $4,000
for a house that was assessed at
$2,5OO, and one of the board of asses
sors explained this violation of the
law by stating that if his house was
assessed at what it was worth it
would be necessary to raise the as
sessment on adjacent property.
These gross inequalities are cited
for the purpose of putting the public
rpon inquiry. Buncombe county pays
it's proportionate part of the taxes
necessary to maintain the govern
mental least the small taxpayers do
and Asheville is, therefore, no ex-
ception.
"Buncombe county has no political
boss or bosses and no one that dares
to hamper the utterance of its citi-
zenship. Our representatives are
pledged to those reforms and we want
the cooperation of every intellige1ti
citizen in the state. We hope that
when the people have thoroughly in
formed themselves as to the magni-
ture of these measures they will as
sumo the responsibility of discharg-
ing their duty and acquit themselves
at the polls in such a manner as to
indicate that there has been an awak-'
ening of the public conscience to such
a degree as to make existing cond1-
tons impossible and rid themselves
