TURKS I ND1SPQSED TO YIELD LIGHTLY Fresh Picked Troops Now Hold Lines.. PORTE'S ATTITUDE CHANGIN Many Difficulties Appear in Way of Armistice. POWERS ARE MORE CALM Danger That Europe Will Be Divided Into Two Hostile Camps Much Diminished Albania Pro claims Independence. LONDON. Nov. 27. The tension in the Balkan crisis is sensibly relieved by the news that the peace plenipoten tiaries are continuing their negotia tions and that Great Britain and Ger many are working actively to secure a peaceable settlement between Aus tria and Servia. According to one Constantinople re port, the difficulties in the way of arranging- a formal armistice are so great that the negotiations are taking the form of seeking a basis for peace. The danger of the reopening of hos tilities, however, is still serious. Ap parently only an Informal armistice of 48 hours has been agreed upon and it is reported that the Bulgarian forces are moving closer to the Tchatalja lines and entrenching themselves In readiness to renew the attack. Turks Stronaly Reinforced. The Turks have an army of more than' 100,000 and soon will have 130. 000. for the most part fresh picked troops, behind the lines and It is cer tain, according to all the correspond ents, that they will give a good account of themselves if the fighting is re turned. tinder these circumstances, with Adrianople and Scutari .still holding out, Turkey Is little likely to show a yielding altitude in the peace negotia tions. The report that the Servians have reached Durazio appears premature. A wireless dispatch of today's date brings the interesting news that Albanian in dependence has been -proclaimed, that the Turkish Government Is preparing to depart and that the town of Durazzo is accepting the regime without oppo sition. Britain and Germany Aarreed. What attitude the Servian army and Government will assume toward this development should afford some Idea of whether, as reported, Servia Is will ing to accept the suggestion of an autonomous Albania. The greatest weight Is attached in the diplomatic world to the seemingly authenticated report that Great Brlt a'n and Germany are now acting in cordial co-operation on the basis of postponing all issues until after the war settlement. A reassuring state ment comes from St. Petersburg that Russia and Austria do not desire to fight over a port In the Adriatic. Thus what appears to be an immi n.nt danirer that Europe will be divided into two hostile camps seems to be dissipated for the time being at least.

This was the extreme EDUCATION IS TOO NICE, SAYS GAYNOR MAYOR. SAYS "REFINEMENTS" CAN" COME LATER. Talk About "Pedagogues" Vexes New Yorker, Who Thinks Schoolmaster Good Enough. NEW YORK, Nov. 27. (Special.) "I am still of the opinion that possibly our education is becoming too nice and too refined for every-day use.. My notion of our obligation to the children of the city is to give them a good, sound, prac tical education. The refinements and niceties come later. There is such a thing as making education altogether too exquisite and too fine." Mayor Gaynor today expressed these views on public school study In reap pointing ten members of the Board of Education. The whole aim." he continued, of the common school system ought to be to bring out boys and girls fitted for some occupation in life. If It does not, it fails. , . I have heard recently m connection with an investigation of the department of education great talk about peda gogies and pedagogy. The word peda gogical Is used right along. In Greece a pedagogue was an old slave who took children to and from school. He : was not a teacher. We use the word for teacher. I am satisfied to say school teacher- and schoolmaster' and science of teaching.' without bothering my head with -pedagogue.' 'pedagogy, pedagogical.' and so on." The Mayor added: , The principal reason why the state should educate children is that we are governed by universal suffrage, and we therefore should educate children so they can vote properly."

SECOND CHANGE PLATFORM FOUND Bull Moose Mystery Grows Deeper: LONG PARAGRAPH IS ADDED Government of Large Units Idea Is Afterthought. CHANGES PRIVATELY MADE Striking Out of Clause Abned at Combinations Supplemented; by Addition of One Urging Greater Unification. MADISON, Wis., Nov. 27. (Special.) A second mysterious change in the National platform of the. Progressive party came to light today in the in vestigation of the "killing" of an all important anti-trust declaration. The new revelation was that a long para graph in the printed platform appar ently, was tacked on the plank, headed "Commercial Development" If the anti-trust provision had been retained In the printed platform, it virtually, would have nullified the point and purpose of the new section, which crept in mysteriously, so tne one ,was removed and the other retained. - Eliminated Paragraph Quoted. The paragraph that was removed follows: ' We favor strengthening the Sher man law nrohibltlne agreements to divide territory or limit output, refus ing to sell to customers who buy irom hualnesx rivals, to sell below cost in certain areas while maintaining higher prices in other places, using tne power of transportation to aid or Injure spe cial business concerns and other un fair trade practices." This eliminated clause was tne nnai one of the "business" section. Long Plank Interpolated.

REMARKABLE FIGHT MADE Death of Millionaire Rice In 1900 Followed by Battle for Freedom by Lawyer Noted In Annals of Criminal Trials. ALBANY, X. Y., Nov. 17. Albert T. Tatrlck, who Is serving a life sentence In Sing Sing prison for the murder of William Marsh Rice, an aged million aire. In New York City on September 13, 1900. was pardoned tonight by Gov ernor Dlx. Patrick, who was saved from the electric chair by the late Governor Hlg glns in December, 1906, has made a re markable fight for freedom. A lawyer by profession, he protested when Gov ernor Hlgglns commuted the. death sen tence to life imprisonment, declaring the Governor had no legal right to can cel the original sentence and Impose a punishment of life Imprisonment. N - Dlx Notes Air of INyatery Governor Dlx announced that he had pardoned Patrick, just as he was about to leave the capitol for the executive mansion. "There has always been an air of mystery in this ' important case," ho said. "Quoting from the. opinion of the Court or Appeals: 'The atmosphere that surrounded the defendant showed that a fair and impartial trial was scarcely possible.' "I trust that Mr. Patrick will devote his energies to a complete vindication of his declared Innocence. "During the past year I have given much consideration to this case and am convinced that the defendant is en titled to have a full pardon. rromlneat ,lfo Join In Appeal. Governor Dix said Superintendent of Prisons Scott and a score of prominent ni-nn annealed to him in Patrick's behalf. The pardon was mailed tonight to Warden Kennedy, of Slug Mng, ami Patrick may be released tomorrow upon Its receipt. It Is said Patrick's plans are to leae fnr St. Louis, the home of John T. Mil- Ilken, his brothor-in-law, but may re turn later to New York as & claimant rnr th millions left by the aged man with whose murder he was charged. Mr. Milllken aided Patrick in nis fight for freedom, and, It Is reported, will asBlst him in his efforts to prove his innocence. Hope Never Abandoned. At no time during his long incarcera tion In Sing Sing, four years of which wor- snent In the death-house, has Patrick given up the hope of freedom. Letter after letter has been receiveu at the executive chamber urging that he be pardoned, and each succeeding Gov ernor since Odell has been requested to extend executive clemency. Gov ernor Hlgglns was so Impressed with the prisoners plea that he granted him three respites and eventually com muted his sentence from death to life Imprisonment. Patrick was charged with having brought about the death of Mr. l'.lce. not by his own hand, but tnrougn me agency of Charles F. Jones, a valet employed by lUce. It was principally upon the testimony of Jones, who con fessed having administered chloroform to Rice at the behest of Patrick, while Rice was asleep, that Patrick was con victed. Jones escaped punishment and has long been able to hide his Identity from the public. At last reports he was in Texas. fiullt Doubted by nlgfflna. In saving Patrick from the death chair, Governor Hlgglns gave these reasons: "It is not contended that Patrick committed the murder in person, but that he procured the act to be done. He has been convicted principally upon the testimony of Charles F. Jones, who confessed that he mur dered his master while he lay asleep, instigated by Patrick and Jones by this testimony has purchased his im munity from trial and punishment. "Neither this fact alone, nor the re view of any question of fact already passed upon by the courts at some stage of these proceedings would seem to warrant interfering with the judgment of death pronounced against the defendant; but three of the Ave Judges of the Court of Appeals were so Btrongly of the opinion that errors were committed at the trial which were substantially prejudicial to the rights of Patrick that I feel that the death penalty, under the circumstances ought not to be Inflicted." Flrat Conviction Affirmed. Patrick was sentenced orlglnully April 7, 1912, to die the week begin ning May and was immediately taken to the. Sing Sing death house. An appeal was taken and on June 1, 1905, the conviction was affirmed by the Court of Appeals. The court later denied an application for a rehearing and fixed the week of August 25. 190.-1. as the date of execution. David B. Hill argued Patrick's cae (Concluded on Page 2.) 1 ocnalty; 107.5v
