Turkey Told to Give Home Rule to Macedonia Bulkans States De nied Rights to Additional Territory LONDON, Oct. 7. With England falling In Hue today with the other European powers In a Joint note to Turkey and tho Balkan states, urg ing Immediate settlement of difficul ties, the outlook for an amicable ad justment of tho main points at Issue without war is greatly Improved. The outstanding features of the note are: , Turkey Is advised to give Mace donia and Albania more latitude in the way of self government. The Ilalkan states are warned that the powers will not permit them to seize any territory oven If war with Turkey comes. Government officials today resent the report that Great Britain's pro castlnatlon nearly blocked the pla of the other powers to prevent war tare. Officials of the foreign office Insist that England merlyc suggested csanges in tne wormng or tne joint note. These changes, which have been adopted, diplomats here say, have transformed tho document from a peremptory demand Into a polite suggestion that Immediate reforms are desirable. England, they assert, is more than anxious to mollify the Turks since Kalmll Pasha, who Is es pecially friendly to Great Britain, has been appointed chief adviser to the Sultan. LONDON, Oct. 7. Belief that the efforts of the powers to prevent war in the Balkans would be successful was expressed In a despatch received by the London Dally Mall today from Its Constantinople correspondent.

INDIANAPOLIS, IndOct. 7.- Edward Clnrk of Cincinnati, former business ngent in that city for the ' ironworkers' union and na of tho i forty-eight members of that orgnni- zation nn trial today for illegally transporting dynamite, changed his plen from not guilty to guilty nL tbi morning's session. Sentence wns de ferred. The notion of Clark in changing bis plea to guilty came as a 'great surprise to the other defendants.. When court opened it waj noticed that ho sat beside Marshal Schmidt' and several of the other accused men attempted to ascertain the cans. AH? efforts, however, of the ironworkers to communicate with, Clark were blocked by Schmidt. When United States District Attor ney Miller reaoKe& ike "eArSSm quietly announced to 'Judge Ander son that Clark had decided to ehB-J. hh plea to one of guilty. Clark thn took the stand, admitted that he was guilty ns charged, and was ready for sentence. Miller asked that sentence be deferred, and Clark then joined Ortie McMnnigal in Marshal Schmidt's office. Although, the other defendants were greatly surprised at ClarkVnc tion, they expressed the belief that it resulted from Miller's denunciation of Clark Saturday. Miller charged that Clark had supervised twelve dynnmitings in and near Cleveland. Most of the defendants appeared io be hit hard by Clark's decision to change his plea. They eye each other nervously and seemed anxious for a chance to talk with Clark. All such attempts, however, were frus trated by Miller and Marshal Schmidt. Miller todoay appeared to be fatigued from his efforts of Friday and Saturday. He told ot clippings which ho alleges certain officials sent to John J. McNamara which gave descriptions of certain dynamiting, fn continuing his statement Miller painted u word picture ot the dyna miting of tho Los Angoles Tlmei building, characterizing' Jim Mc Namara as "ono ot the most blood thirsty and flcndlah murderers In Alstory." Miller also described dy namttlngs In Suit Lake uad PlttsburK In which he alloged members of the Ironworkers' organization were Im-V-lcated.
