The American Ambassador Would Adopt Plan-U. s. Has Not Recognized Tur- keys Right to Close the Straits

Washington, September 8. Turkey has declined to grant the request of the United States for permission to send the cruiser North Carolina through the Dardanelles to Constantinople to deliver r $150,000 in gold deposited here for the relief of Americans in the Ottoman empire.
 The grand vizier has informed the American government that the waters of the Dardanelles are mined and that it would be unsafe for a vessel as large as the North Carolina to go through the straits. He declared also that it might establish a precedent for the passage of other foreign warships and suggested that the American na val yacht Scorpion, on duty in Turkish waters, be sent to sea to meet the North Carolina
 This was the substance of long cable gram received at the White House and state department today from Ambassa- dor Morgenthau, the first message from him in several days. The amba ssador made no mention of any declarations of war, but referred to the diplomatic sit- .uation as highly critical

 The ambassador reported that all Amer jeans who wished to leave had done so and lie thought funds aboard the North Carolina would be sufficient for imrne- diate needs

At the Theaters
THE DENHAM.

Breezy and bright, but with 4 strong
undercurrent of intensity OF the sort
that moves mems souls is strong
heart,' the famous play by William A.
DeMille, in which Robert Edeson
achieved great success. This play will
be produced next week by the Denham
players at the Denham theatcr. Strong
heart is the best type in the way OF
an American college play. 1t is typical
OF American college life and the race
problem" that is involved reveals the
prevailing prejudice or racial antipathies
that enter into American life. Strong
heart is play that is different, and
that is no small merit. 1t thrills and
makes the blood tingle without provok
ing mental protest. 1t is melodramatic,
but it is the melodrama of real life
the things that are done when deep
feeling or passion is the moving force.
"Strongheaff" will be the attraction
all week and was especially chosen for
Thanksgiving, as the very air you
breathe is full of the spirit OF football
and no better football play was ever
written.

LIQUOR MEN WANT TO CLEAN UP,
Oppose Embargo in Strike Zones That
Prevents Disposal Of Stock on Hand

The six months proclamation by
which Gov. Ammons placed in embargo
the sale OF intoxieants in the northern
and southern strike zones viii expire
on Dec. .. and already the question of
its renewal l. being acitated. Saloon
keepers in the field are urging that the
embargo should be lifted, in order that
they might now have the same oppor-
tunity to get rid of their stocks before
the state goes dry on Jan. /. 1916. as
the liquor dealers OF Denver, Pueblo and
other wet" towns.
The Zang brewery is also anxious to
have the, old conditions restored. II
argues that it paid $1,000 for licenses
10 the northern coal fields just before
the proclamation was issued, and that
the money will have been lost unless
the embargo i lifted.

and As per cent OF all fatal accidents
are due to the same causes. From the
reports on those accidents by the depu-
ty inspectors, and from personal OBJ
servation, it is apparant that at least
one half of them could have been pre-
vented by better discipline, stricter su-
pervision and the installation of proper
safeguards"
Blames Green Men.
Again he says:
''The strained relations btween EN-
ployer and employees are responsible for
a great many accidents, because such
relations cause strikes, and when green
men are shipped in to take the places
OF the strikers many of the former de-
pend almost entirely on the officials
to protect them from danger.
'-Such persons should not be allowed
to work underground, unless constant
ly under the supervision of some prac-
teal person"
His comment upon the increase in the
number of coal miners killed in the
state as compared with the decrease in
the United States is:
These facts give food for thought,
and should stimulate the efforts OF all
parties connected with the industry to
lessen this frightful loss of life, there
by putting us on par with the United
States as a whole
Several sections of the law. he be-
lieves, should be amended.
Sees improvement.
Numerous and far-reaehing improve
ments have been made in accordance
with the requirements OF the coal min
ing law" he says in conclusion, land
the result is that the underground con-
ditions at most of the mines have i'm
proved considerably, and that the men
now work under conditions of greater
safety. both as to health and limb.
sThe mine officials have also awak-
ened to the fact that this mining law
demands greater efficiency OF them. and
they are. therefore, paying closer atten-
tion 10 the daily safe and sanitary up
keep Of the mines under their surveil-
| lance; and, were it not for the fact that
so many unskilled men are employed in
the mines the increased efficiency on
I the part OF the mine officials would re-
suit in a decreased rate OF loss OF life
i am. however. hopeful of the future
b With the increased efforts of the opera
tors in placing their mines on as safe
1 and sanitary basis as possible, with
efficient mine officials constantly on
guard and with the men becoming
| trained to their work, the loss of life
will be certain to be minimized.'
Claims Law Violation.
/ In special report upon the eNplo-
sion at the Vulcan mine on December

sion occurred because of violation OF
