Sxtemporameous.
' BH Associated Press,
Washington, Jan. 2. An eager
throriK besieged the senate galleries
today In anticipation of Senator
Bailey's farewell speech. The Texan
took the floor at the conclusion of
"morning business." Practically none
of his address had been prepared in
advance. It dealt principally with the
principle of the initiative and referen
dum am Via rllr.OTti1 tif wnrila tn-

the Initiative and referendum would
establish Is in conflict with the prin
ciples upon which the republic is
founded.
"During my service of 21 years In
tho two houses of congress," suid Mr.
Bailey, "I have never before delivered
an address In either of them Intended
more for the -country A tlarge than for
the body Itself, and I would not now
depart from that rule, except for the
extraordinary situation in which we
llnd ourselves with respect to there
questions."
Senator Bailey declured the advo
cates of this "extraordinary form of
government" had conducted a sys
tematic campaign for -years In behalf
of their views. He desired, he said,
to. present arguments against Such a
system of direct lcglshitloh. , .yl
The majority of senators were In
their Bents und many members of the
house had crowded into the rear of
the senate chamber.
The llrst portion of Senator Bailey's
address Included long extracts from
the writings of Alexander Hamilton,
principally the publications In the
Federalist, through which Hamilton,
Just after the formation of the gov
ernment, carried on his discussion of
the principles Upon which he con
ceived It to have been founded.
"The wise and patriotic statesmen
who dedicated this republic to liberty
und independence," declared Senator
liulley, "rejected a direct democracy
In which the people would rule with
out the Intervention of representatives
and adoptoil a representative democ
racy In which the people should rule
through their duly chosen agents."
The senator quoted from statesmen
who participated In the formation of
the constitution and the organization
of the government to show that they
never Intended hat the representa
tive form of government should give
way to direct legislation by the peo
ple, such as the Initiative and referen
dum would provide,
Crowil Gives Clow Heed.
The crowd in the senate galleries
followed Mr. Bailey through his more
than an hour of quotations from writ
ings of Hamilton, Jefferson, Madison
and others. At one point, his secre
tary brought in a cup covered with
napkin.
Senator Bailey removed the napkin
and carefully arranged three lumps of
sugar on the edge of his desk.
"Yellow journals might fu this is

"und to obviate that I'll say It Is cof

Bailey turned to his secretary ; and

Prospect Thought to Be for
Early General Election in
England.
By Associated Prut. . .
London, Jan. 2. The possibility ot
an early general election in the United
Kingdom is widely spoken of today as
a result of Premier Asqulth's pointed
question to the unionists in the house
of commons yesterday, when he asked
them to declare clearly what their at
titude would be If the home rule bill
waa submitted to the electorate and
approved. . '
The reply of Andrew Bonar 1jv,
leader of the opposition, that in that
case the conservative party would not
encourage the Ulsterites to resist the
measure is regarded as significant. 1
It is thought In some quarters that
the government would be glad to taka
advantage of the present dissension in
the unionist reanks on the subject of
tariff reform In order to obtain a
clear mandate from the country on
the question of home rule, Welsh dis
establishment and the franchise re
form. It regarded as quite possible that
should the demoralization in the un
ionist ranks spread, the government
might suddenly dissolve the house of
commons and ruh a general election
during February.

Pujo Committee Process Serv
ers Still Baffled at Every
Turn.
By Astovialei Prut:
New York. Jan. 2. Baffled In their
attempts to serve William Hockefeller
with a subpoena requiring him to tes
tify before the Pujo committee Inves
tigating the so-called money trust, 40
deputy sergeant-at-arms of the house
of representatives and private detec
tives await today word from Wash
ington that they might enter Mr.
Rockefeller's Fifth avenue mansion,
by force. If necessary, and serve him
there.
The heavy guard which has kept
vigil on the millionaire's homo from
the streets and housetoiw during the
past few days was not diminished dur
ing the night. Every possible exit
was under guard irus morning.
Charles Rlddell. sergeant-at-arms of
the house, in charge of the squad of
process servers, said he felt sure Mr.
Hockefeller waa within.
Mr. Hlddell said that he expected
something Important to happen today
us the result of the visit to Washing'
ton of Jerry South, chief clerk of the
house, who left here last night. It
was understood that Mr. South would
ask the Pujo committee to issue an
attachment for Mr. Rockefeller's ap
prehension.
For the llrst time since the vigil be
gan the rhades at the windows of the
mansion were thrown up today.
There seemed to be an unusual stir
within. 8ome of the process servers
believed that Mr. Rockefeller might
accept service voluntarily today.
New York, Jan. 2. Search for Wil
liam Rockefeller, wanted as a witness
before the congressional committee
investigating tho "money trust," Is
costing the government $1000 a day.
The 80 federal agents and detectives
as guards ut his Tarry town and Fifth
avenue homes, figured toduy that their
pay, plus traveling expenses and In
ciilental expenses, amounted to this
total and that since the guard had
been kept up for a week at least $7000
had been spent In the endeavor to
serve Mr. Rockefeller with a sulr-
Doens.
Believing Mr. Rockefeller Is delib
erately evading the process, Charles
Rlddell, ecrgeant-at-arms of the
house, who la In rharga of the search,
declared that unless he received an
Invitation from Mr. Rockefeller today
'to come In," he would proceed to ob
tain authority for forcibly entering hlti
Fifth avenue home. Although con
vinced that Mr. Rockefeller la there
mS bos not yet been seen, despite
the fact that detectives have climbed
to the roofs of adjacent building to
peer through the windows of upper
stories. These and similar maneuver!
have ail been frustrated by drawn
curtains.
Mr, Rockefeller's brother, John D.
Rorksfellor, drove up to the house
during the forenoon and stopped for
a moment at the curb opposite the en
trance, but did not alight Just as
Mr. Rockefeller was about to get out

Refuses to Treat with Turks
Unless They Change At

HE'LL KEEP POSITION
Refuses to Yield Adrianiple or

By Associated Press.
Delegation, unless the map which the
Turmsn oeiegauon is now preparing,
showing the proposed boundary be
tween Bulgaria and Turkey, should
prove to be in accordance with, the
terms laid down by the allies.
The position of affairs has not
changed so much for the better as
people seem to Imagine," said Dr.
Daneff. "It must be borne In mind
that from tho beginning Turkey has
always said Bhe would make certain
concessions in Macedonia and Epirus,
and in part of the province of Thrace.
That Is all right as far as it goes, but
there remains the question of Adrian
oplo. "The future of Adrianople is one of
the most vital points In the negotia
tions, and as far as I can see no im
provement of the situation in this re
gard is made by the Turkish delega
tion in the proposed rectification of
the boundury between Bulsuria and
Turkey.
"If we find at tomorrow's session
of the conference that tho Turkish
map Is not in accordance with tho
terms offered by the allies and Is un
satisfactory to us the negotiations will
be broken off. - " '
"The second difficulty is In connec
tion with the matter of tho islands of
the Aegean sea. There again we will
Insist upon our terms,
"We are ready to acknowledge that
some progress was made In yester
day's meeting and that the essential
points before the conference have not
been settled. Let us hope they will bo
at tomorrow's meeting."
Rechad Pasha, leader of the Turk
ish plenipotentiaries, was equally em
phatic as to Adrianople.
"We have ceded Macedonia in a
spirit of conciliation, with a great de
sire to avoid a renewal, of the war,
he said. "On two questions, however.
we will not yield. We will give up
neither Adrlanopls nor the Islunds in
the Aegean sea."
The question of the Aegean islands
Is expected to be more easily ar
ranged than that of the ultimate fate
of tho former capital of the Turkish
empire. The Aegeans, It Is thought,
may eventually lie divided among the
disputants.
In any case the danger of a resump
tion of hostilities is regurdod as elim
inated, and the utterances of threats
ot a renewal of the war by various
1 delegates may be taken merely as th
playing of cards In the diplomatic
game. '
Itechud Pasha and tho other Turk
ish delegates now declare that Turkey
yesterday yielded to the allies four-
I fifths of what she originally claimed.
thus going from the maximum of her
expectations to .a minimum which Is
absolutely Irreducible. It le now the
turn of the allies, it Is pointed out,
to reduce the maximum of their orig
inal terms to such a minimum as will
meet the Turks. In a reasonable com
promise. Should the sllles refuse to do this,
the Turkish delegates say, Europe and
the whole world will be able to Judgo
on which side are to be found modera
tion and real love of peace.
Bechad Pasha remarked that the
whole modern history of the Turkish
empire was marked by a spirit of good
will toward the , European powers.
Turkey had made at all times every
concession compatible with her dig
nity. This had led to the practical
abandonment of eastern Kumanlu,
the settlement of the Armenian ques
tion and the entrusting of tho protec
tion or Crete to England, iYnnce,
Hussia and Italy,
Now, he continued, Turkey was'do-
Ing a thing almost without precedent
In any previous war. She tvaa ceding
even territories whU h had not beon '
conquered by the enemy, such ns Jan
Ins and Scutari,
Turkey, however," he concluded,
"cannot and will not yield Adrianople,
which besides not having been taken
by the besiegers, has for he Mussul
man world a meaning and valuv both
sentimental and religious which no
other Islamic city possesses. It hus
not a corresponding Importance for
Bulgaria especially since PhlllppopolM'
has attracted th greater part of the
commerce and Industries which wero
once centered in Adrianople."
