TURKEY APPEALS FOR EARLY ACTION
 ON PEACE TREATY
Claim Country Will Be Thrown to the Country
 Making Loan.

ConstantinopIe, Nov. 18-(By the A. P.)-Appeals that early arrange ments be made for negotiating peace treaty, sent by the Sublime Porte to the peace conference in Paris, are said to have been inspired by the fear that Turkey may be plunged into anarchy, with no re- spOnSib1e government left to treat with the allies. At the same time, the Grand Vizier is urging country districts to hurry arrangements for elections so that a parliament will be met here and be rea.y to discuss the terms of peace.
 At present interior of the country is not controlled by the government, which cannot collect taxes and has no funds. This financial situation, it pointed out, is liable to throw the countr( into the hands of any other which may make it a loan.
 Delay in reaching a settlement. it is declared. is dangerous for the AL lies as well as the Turks, as the former are not co-operati ting to the fullest extent Turkish agents are taking advantage of. this situation by bringing to each ally information tending to arouse jealousy and i'll feeling. Lack of concerted action among the Allies may mean success to the nationalist movement, the lead CTS of which are now boldly threat ening armed resistance if the country is parUtioned-

New York, Nov. 28-The testimony of Byron H. UhI, Acting Immigration Commissioner, before the House Committee of Investigation, in session at Ellis Island, was interrupted today by Frederic c. Howe, former com missioner, who accused MT. Uhl or not telling the truth.

Howe's name but MT Uhl testified that he dictated the letter and that nota- tion ir. the corner showed that it was not received by the immigration in- spectcrs until Juna 1.
 DO you mean to say,'' interrupted MT. Howe, that I held up this let ter?"
 s"The chief of the division concerned did not receive il until the time indi- cated,'' replied MT. Uhl.
 MT. Howe then asked whether MT Uhl ever remembered his holding up letters more than 24 hours, where upon MT. Uhl answered, You held up that one, commissioner"
 That isn't the truth declared MT. Howe

ID RECOMMEND PAY INCREASES
 FOR NAVY MEN
Will Cost $1O,OOO,OOO to Meet This Advance
 In Wages

Washington, Nov. 28.-Pay increase for officers and men of the navy will be recommended to Congress by the House Naval Committee soon after the opening of the regular session next week, Representative Kelly, Re publican, sub comimttee chairman stated Wednesday. Except for re cruits, whose pay is $33 a month, in creases would be general under q plan approved by the subcommittee.
 Advances asked for army officers have not yet been approved by the congressional committees, but a House military subcommittee Is understood to favor some increase and these also are expected to be made early in the session.
 ogs stat-m foo tlg to pf ETA
 Petty officers of the navy, under the House Committee plan, would re- ceive the largest increases-a flat ad- vance of fifty per cent, while officers, ranking from ensign to captain, both inclusive, would receive a fifteen per cent. increase in pay and coInrnu- tation for quarters the same as higher officers, whose allowances would be increased approximately s5C to $90 a month. The bill would con tinue the pay increases until July 1, 1921, and committee men estim ate that it would cost approximately $1O,- 0O,O0O
 No actual appropriation to meet this expenditure would be necessary committee men assert, as the pay for year ending next June was fixed for an average of 100000 officers and men, while the navy personnel at present numbers about 100, 900.

 SEAT IN SENATE

Mobile, Ala, Nov. 26-Prohibt- tionfsts of Alabama are going to make a hard fight for the seat of Oscar Underwood, junior United States Senator from this state, according to information from inner circles Of the dry forces.
 At present the prohibidonists are manOeuvertng to have their strongest man make the fight against MT. Un- derwood. who has been mentioned a possible Democratic nominee for the Presidency in 1920. The state is strongly prohibition, and the indica- tions are the Senator will have a hard fight.

Musgrove, wealthy prohfbi- ton leader of Jasper, Walker County, who announced himself a candidate several months ago and who has re- ceived assurance, has stated he would be glad to retire in favor of any other person who might be agreed upon. It is believed the dry forces will center on Musgrove, who is one of the best campaigners in Alabama.
 The election takes place in May, and the fight will start in earnest in a week or two. Much gossip is now being indulged in as to Senator Un- derwoods plans for his campaign for reelection. It is undestood he will begin his campaign in January on ac- count of the prospect that another fight may be started over the Yer saiues treaty when Congress recon venes December 1.

Blaze Started In Mccoy Hall Of Johns Hopkins Group
 Early Today
BREMEN MAXI.
 MANY RESCUES

Baltimore, Nov. 28-The group of buildings formerly occupied by Johns Hopkins University and about a score or other structures in the square bounded by Howard, Ross, Monument and Eutaw streets were either des- troyed or wrecked by fire early to- day entaiIing a loss roughly estimat- ed at $L,OOO,0OO of which about S1J0,00O falls on the University.
 The blaze started in Mccoy Hall Of the Johns Hopkins group from an undetermined cause. An explosion followed almost instantly and heavy explosions occurred in the building from time to time
 Nine firemen were injured but none seriously.
 Mccoy Hall had been used recently as a welfare building and previously Us the headquarters Of the chem cal warfare service of the army, now moved to Edgewood Arsenal. Many notable cnv5utions were held there.
 Among the buildings wrecked or damaged were Levertng Hall. the gym. the biological laboratories and the Baltimore City College annex
 A number of rescues were made by fremer. including a blind girl. who was taken from a third story, and sey eraI families.
 pr Frank T. Goodno7v, president of the university, which Is now To- cated at Homewood, said that the buildings were covered by insurance. The other property damaged was chiefly buildings occupied by small tradesmen. and ! number of dwell ings used as rooming and boarding houses.
 High winds swept the sparks q half mile away to the center of the city, and hundreds of men were seen on the rcofS of department stores stamp ing out ircipent flames and using wa ter and chemicals.
 Eutaw Street Methodist Episcopal church three blocks distant, which had been bombarded with firebrands, broke out into flames several hours later and was badly damaged Fran els Asbury, first bishop of the GI r. Church in America is buried under this church.
 A rigid investigation to determine the cause of the fire has begun. Tho rapid spread of the flames is artribut- ed JC poor water pressure. The ex- pIosiCns which occurred in Mccoy Hall are unexplained. No eXFlo- sives were stored in the building, it is declared.

lJ. s. Will Moi Back Down
Government is Fully Pre- pared for Next Step in
 Jenkins Situation.
MAY TAKE FORM
 OF ULTIMATUM

Washington, Nov. 2s-AIthough further investigation of facts will be made, the American government has no intention of receding from it's posi- tion in the Jenkins case, administra- uon officials declared today. The government, they said. is prepared
 for the next step" which may take the form of an ultimatium to the Mex jean government.
 The Mexican reply to the Ameri- can demand for the immediate re- lease of Jenkins raises q new issue that Jenkins made contradictory statements to the trial judge, and this, officials said, must be investigated. Instructions will go forward to the embassy at Mexico City today to in Eestigate this charge and also obtain copies of the indictment and charges against the consular agent.
 Administrations officials indicated that the negotiations with Mexico would not be prolonged if unsatisfac- tory; that the American government had decided upon a course of action and was prepared to carry it out should that become necessary.
 Legal officers of the state depart ment today were studying article 104 paragraph six, of the new Mexican constitution, which provides that the fel eraI tribunals shall have jurfsdic- tiOn over @ all cases .concerning diplomatic agents and consular off, cers" The Mexican government in it's re- ply to the American note demanding Jenkins release said his case was in the state courts at PuebIa and that consequently the federal government could not intervene
 Since Jenkins is consular agent Ha Tinted States officials clined to the opinion that under the Mexican constitution the state courts 1 have no Jurisdiction in his case. While officials have not yet seri- Ollsly considered the question of Jen- kins' release on bail, they said there might be advantages technically in his refusing to accept bail. In it's reply the Mexican government point ed out that Jenkins could obtain his l liberty by furnishing the 1000 pesos { bail demanded.

GREAT BRITAIN WILL EXERT INFLUENCE ON
 ADRIATIC QUESTION
Assures Jugo-Slavs Su- preme Council Will Soon Take Up Matter and Hints Toward Set tIe1nent Favorable To This People.

London, Nov. 28-Great Bri- tain has given Jugo Slavia as- surances that the Adriatic
 nestion will soon be taken up by the Supreme Council and that Great BrItain's influence will be used to secure a just and equitable settlement in ac- cord with the life and inter ests of Jug0 SIayia. according 10 private despatches.
 These reported assurances are CO., incident with the presentation of the note sent by the Jugo-SIav deiega- ton to the Supreme Council in Paris urging that the Adriatic matter be taken up immediately. The British note does not commit the government to any definite line of action.
 DipIomattsts here are inclined to view the inactivity during the last few days of D'Annunzic, the insurgent Italian commander at Plume, as a hopeful sign, although there is no dis position to assume that he neces- sarily has abandoned his plan for the annexation of DaImatia to Italy. It is believed that the fact that the Ita!- ian elections were unfavorable to his project may have influenced him to pause and consider the probability of success.
 Meanwhile the official announce ment of Premier Nitti's policy regard ing the Adriatic is eagerly awaited.

MOVE STARTED IN LOCAL UNION
 SPREADS FAST
All Organizers and Business Agents to Meet In
 Capital

The agitation which started in the Machinists union of this city and re- suited in the revOking of the charter of Lodge No. 20, the dismissal of Sam JaVit as business agent, and the withdrawing of his union card, has spread over the country with such ra- pidity and force that the Grand Lodge has called a meeting of all the organ izers and business agents of the I. A of NJ, east of the Mississippi, for to- morrow at Washington.
 When Lodge No. 30 was expelled it started a campaign against the off, cers of the Grand Lodge who were responsible for the acuon and it's propaganda has been so effective that many of the lodges and district or ganizations throughout the country are eIecting men to office who are op- posed to the continuation in office of the presnte Grand Lodge officials.
 The action of District No. 15 5.which comprises all unions of machinists in Greater New York, in electing as their officers for the coming year, men who are bitterly opposed to the Grand Lodge officers, and who have championed the cause of Lavit and No. 30. has resulted in the calling of the Washington conference of bus mess agents and organizers.
 General Organizer Fred Cedarholm and Business Agent James H. O'Neil of this city leave today to attend the conference.
 Organizer Cedarholna says that the meeting is called because of the ne farious activities of certain individ- uals and small groups within the or ganization which has caused feel ing of hostility towards many of the Grand Lodge officers, and that the conference tomorrow will deal with some effective means of putting qufetus on those who are trying to scuttIe the I. A. of M. ship.
