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. The
despatch indicated that Turkish of
ficials would carry out tho sugges
tions voiced in the Joint note.
Greeks Seize Steamer
BERLIN. Oct. 7. The Turkish em
bassy asserted today that Greeks In
Piraeus stormed a steamship beat

denunciation of Colonel Roospvolt
and President W. II. Til ft was voiced
hero todny by Governor Woodrow
Wilson, tho demooratio candidate for
president. It was the first oppor
tunity Pneblans have had to bee Now
Jersey's governor in a fighting mood
nnd they liked him in this nllc. In
attacking Tuft and Roosevelt, Wil

"Neither of tho parties bended by

theso two candidates U that tlio gov

Tnft and Roosevelt is who will bo

Governor Wilson then quoted a re
cent speech of tho republican candi
date in which President Taft said If
Wilson was olected that the working
mon of tlio country would experience
rainy days. Tlio workingmon, Wil
son declared, depending on monopoly
bad already experienced rainy days.
To provo his point Wilson cited tho
condition of tho e.xtilu workers tit
Livwrenco and at other wool centers.
"When I sa.v," sni4 Wilson, "tbut

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.
