AMERICAN SCHOOLS
in TURKEY SAFE
Morgenthau Reports AS
suranceS of Protection
from Government.
From The Tribune Bureaul

Washington, Dec. 12.-The Turkish
government is disposed TO deal fairly
with the American educational institu-
tions in the Sultan's empire, according
to a dispatch received at the State De-
partment to-day from Henry Morgen-
thau, the American Ambassador at Con-
stantinople.
The ambassador reported to-day that
the Minister of Public Instruction and
the Minister of the Interior had eX-
planned that it was their purpose to
treat the institutions eXa-tly with the
degree of fairness, protection and SUI
pervision with which foreign institu-
tions would be treated in the United
States. In furthcrance Of this intent
the two Cabinet officers assured Mr..
Morgenthau that a delay Of sixty days
would be ordered in the enforcement
Of the regulations recently promul-
gated, which have been characterized
as Objectionable to the Americans.
This is in line with the new Turkish
policy of getting away from the obliga-
tons imposed by the so-called capitu-
lations, which Turkey denounced last
August. To the American Ambassador
it was stated that the chief desire Of
the Turkish government was TO get
away from embassy guardianship Of
the institutions, at the same time sub
stitutng supervisory control by them
selves.
Further, the ambassador reported as
] follows regarding the general condi-
tons in the Turkish dominion:
"The Minister OF the Interior, now
acting Minister of Finance, has as
sumed temporarily the posts of Minis
ter of War and Minister of Marine.
Wholesale deportation of French and
English from Beirut TO Damascus oc-
Cured on the 9th and 10th, by order
Of the Damascus commandant. The
Minister of the Interior has promised
to stop these deportations as contrary
to his orders. Definite assurances were
secured that French and others WORD
not decipherable), employed in Ameri-
can institutions of charitable and
educational character, and many en-
plOyed by American firms, are TO re-
main unmolested, as matter of favor
TO the United States
The Standard Oil Company has de-
clined TO assume the risk of transport
/ ing money from Smyrna to Scala Nova.
/ The cruiser Tennessee is to be sent TO
/ Alexandria for funds for Jafia Money
will be sent to Jerusalem.

Nation Wide Prohibition
Question Also Gets
Right of Way.
DEFEAT BELIEVED
IN STORE FOR BOTH
Question for States and MOI
Constitutional Amendment
Is Wilson's Attitude.

Washington. Dec. 12.-Ihe house
Rules Committee took belated steps TO-
day TO force an early vote on the Is
sues of prohibition and woman suf-
f,age. After lodging these questions
last session the committee ordered
snecial rules for the consideration or
the Hobson nationwide prohibition
resolution and the Bristow-Mondell
resolution for woman suffrage.
Both resolutions propose amend
ments to the Constitution. for which
two-thirds majority is required IN the
House. The defeat of tle measures
is confidently predicted by the opposi-
ton, and the belief that this fate is IN
store for them is strengthened by the
issuance here to-day of Secretary
Brvan's latest editorial in The Com
moner" in which he says that prohl-
bition and suffrage should be settied
by the states. The Secretary also
AYERS, with reference 10 the two reso-
lutions. that "the time does not seem
opportune for the submission OF either
of these amendments"
The vote in the Rules Committee for
a report on the Hobson resolution was
unanimous, as both the VETS and
"drys" are ready to make stand IN
the House on the prohibition question.
Chairman Henry, who will bring In the
rule. issued a statement declaring his
unalterable opposition to a nationwide
prohibition proposal. He also an
nounced that suffrage should be a
question left for respective states.
Representative Foster, an Illinois
Democrat, Joined with the minority
member of the committee, and the re-
port of the rule for the consideration
Of woman suffrage thus was made pos
sible. Those voting for the rule were
Representatives Campbell and Lenroot,
Republicans; Foster, Democrat, and
Kelly, Progressive. Chairman Henry
and Representatives Pou and Cantrill,
all Democrats, were opposed. Repre-
sentative Goldfogle, of New York, de-
clined to vote on the suffrage issue,
saying that he would assume "a posi-
tion of neutrality" for the present.
Although not opposed to a vote in
Congress on prohibition and suffrage,
the President is also known to be
against the pending resolutions. He
has spoken unequivocally concerning
the woman suffrage resolution, assert
ing that this question should be settled
by the states. That the President
takes a similar view regarding prohi-
button is also well known from utter
ances more or less recent.
The doctrine of state rights affords
the Democrats loophole to escape an
vote on prohibition and
woman suffrage. 1t has been decided
by administration leaders, however,
that there is no wisdom in holding the
issues in allegiance and free-for-all
contest impends in the House, with the
chances decidedly against the adoption
o. either resolution reported.
Mr.. Henry will call up the prohibi-
ton resolution on December %. There
will be eight hours debate and rec
ord vote. Six hours of debate are to
be allowed on the woman suffrage reso-
luton, and both measures are to be
open TO amendment.

Lapland Arrives After Hide and
Seek" VOyage-Passengers
MyStified by Course.

After a rough passage Of ten days
across the Atlantic the Red Star liner
Lapland arrived here last night, day
late. from Liverpool. No chart was
posted in the main companionway and
the passengers were not informed OF
the ships position throughout the
voyage. This secrecy gave rise TO the
reports aboard that the Lapland had
been taken off the regular westbound
lane and driven well to the south.
The warm weather encountered dur
ing part of the voyage and the belief
among the passengers that the sea
water pumped direct from the ocean
into their bathtubs was too warm for
the latitude in which they were sup
posed 70 be gave rise TO reports that
the vessel had been driven into South
ern waters.
Among the Lapland's passengers
was Ivan " Serginsky, who said that,
as a representative of the Russian
government. he had come here TO spend
at least S10,000,000 on machinery for
the manufacture of gun cotton and
farming implements.
Mr.. Serginsky, who had lived in this
country five years ago, said he repre-
sented in Petrograd the Carbonate
Machine Company and the Buffalo
Forge Company.
"The government of Russia" he said,
"has authorized me TO look around this
country for the best contracts / can
make for the purchase of machinery
for the manufacture of gun cotton and
farming implements. Germany had a
monopoly on this output and was ia
miliar with what the Russian manu-
facturers wanted. The war, however,
has cancelled all these contracts, as
the German plants were not able to
fulfil them. 1t will be some time be-
fore Germany will be in a position to
get this business, and a splendid OPP
portunity is now awaiting this coun-
try TO get what Germany has lost.
THE government has two factories
near Petrograd which have been max
ing gun cotton, but these are anti
quated. We were planning to erect
two more in the centre of the en-
pire. and German firms had the con-
tract for equipment.
"lf the manufacturing industries Of
America show a disposition TO treat
Russia fairly they will stand a SPLEEN

again last night, when open umbrellas,

"0klahoma Kate" descended to the

not pleased, did not interfere.

BANK BOARD APPROVES |
s1oO,0O0,0Oo GOLD FUND
q. S. Serves Notice on the World
That All Foreign Debts Will
Be Paid in Coin.

The bankers' plan for a $10o.ooo.000
gold fund to meet American ophga-
lions to Europe was approved today by
the federal reserve board.
National banks in central reserve ana
reserve cities will be asked to con-
tribute to the fund, but: country banks
are not expected to participate. AL
though a syndicate Of New York bank
ers already has arranged to take care
of $s0.o0o.000 Of that city's European
obligations, national banks In New
York will be counted upon for con-
tributions to tho additional 100000
900 fund
The gold win be deposited in the
branch Of the Bank Of England in OF
tawa, Canada.
The first call on banks probably will
be designed to bring out from $4,000
600 to 25,000,000.
Details of the plan, however. were
not worked out today at conference
between bankers and the board. They
Will be considered next week.
Committees of clearing house asso-
tain a list Of obligations of bankers in
the United States to Europe.
The question Of how the banks will
be asked to contribute still has to be
settled. The bankers committee
thought the reserve board should ap-
portion the amounts to be given. but
board members called attention to the
fact that they have no authority to do
this.

CHICAGO. September 10. Wheat
made q sudden jump today OF more
than cents a bushel. Astonishing
strength Of prices at Liverpool was
largely responsible. Supplies there
were reported to be diminishing and
reports from Europe were decidedly
broad. Dispatches were also at hand
asserting that the Kansas mills were
selling all the -four they could ma Ike
to go abroad. Opening IL to 81 high
er. the market reacted somewhat. but
quickly turned upward again.
Corn was more active and higher.
mainly as the result Of export bust
ness disclosed last night Offerings
were rather light. The opening which
ranged from q to.1A up was followed
by an additional gain.
Oats climbed with other cereals.
Shorts were conspicuous on the buying
side.
After a further ascent values eased
of. owing to reports that advance
would cause receipts northwest to en-
large. The close for wheat was unset
tied at TX to 2 above last night.
Afterward the corn market receded
with wheat. The close was nervous at

SOON TO REGAIN CONTROL.
Constitutionalists to Turn Nationa,
Railways Back to Company.

Fears of American bondholders of the
national railways of Mexico were con-
siderably allayed when Consular Agent
Silliman advised the State Depart
ment that the constitutionalist gov
eminent proposed to turn the opera
ton of the railways over to the COM
pany after a shareholders meeting to
be held October 1.
The bondholders now have notified
the State Department that they will
await the outcome of this meeting be-
fore making any representations con-
corning the recent taking over of the
lines by the constitutionalists.
Mr. Silliman reported that the Car
rama officials explained the action as
an "exigency of war;" The Mexican
government owns 81 per cent of the
stock Of the railways, and the con-
stitutionalists will elect new directors
at the proposed meeting
