The new situation in Turkey is commented on with great reserve in official quarters here. It is doubted -whether, diplomatic means will suffice to prevent the resumption of hostilities, but. it is declared the Euronean powers will concentrate their efforts of localizing the conflict should it break out again. , Government officials do not see any indications that the unity of the pow ers has been shaken and it is under stood the nations interested are al ready conferring on the situation. , The bourse today received the news from Constantinople with something akin to dismay. ' Panicky conditions prevailed at the opening of the mar ket when an cnorniouB volume of rush soiling, orders- was executed.. Prices broke violently, all the Balkan secur ities being hard hlt. -German bonds were also, sharplydepressed. t. POWERS ' NEXT MOVE IN ALLIES OPINION ' v By Associated Press. - London, Jan. 24. At the headquar ters of all the peace delegations the greatest activity and excitement pre vailed today. . Cipher telegrams from Sofia, Belgrade, Athens and Cettinje ernseed messages ' from London to those capitals during the early morn ing hours.- Before noon the heads of the four delegations had held several meetings to discuss the situation. The allies seemed disposed to con sider the division in Constantinople as an affront to the European powers more than to themselves. Therefor they think that the powers are en titled to make the first move. What ever it may be and whatever its re suit it cannot prejudice their future action, they declare. Messages received from various points In the Balkans show that nego tiations concerning the next develop ment are proceeding actively between the capitals of the allies. The delega tions here cannot be sure as to what will be their ultimate attitude until they have received ttlinultaneous and identical instructions from their gov- ernmems. The delegates, however, consider that the resumption of the war in the course of the next week Is almost in, cvltable. even if the powers should agree on active Intervention. , London Exchange Excited. v Anncioiri Preu. London, Jan. 24 The London stock exchange was greatly agitated over tho Turkish crisis today. A prolon gation of the recent uncertainty was feared and quotations were marked down In all directions, more particu larly In speculative issues. American rails opened from SI to $3 below par ity, while Rio Tlnto was 214 points off and Turkish bonds were 1 points down. Consols were qulted 14 lower on local selling due to fears that the Continental markets may unload heavily. Later In the day the market unneared to bo a shade steadier and with a hardening tendency although it was still unsettled. STRIKERS IN SERIOUS EMIES; 12 INJURED By Associated Press New York, Jan. 24.

A HOT DEBUTE E Representatives Kill More Time over Resolution Of r feredby Justice. Special to The Qazette-Newt. . ' Kalelgh, Jan. 24. Tne house or representatives debated and voted for more than two hours on the Justice resolution, substitutes and amend ments and adjourned until today at 10:30 without finally saying by ' the recorded vote what it Intended to do about' the whole matter. The result was. some sharp remarks on the part of Mr. - Williams of .Buncombe, Mr. Doughton of Alleghany, Mr; Speaker, Connor and - others, the burden" of which was that the original author of the resolution was not so much in tent on getting the views of distin guished gentlemen on the problems of government as he was In gaining some ulterior motive in the wording and advocating of his resolution In the house. And they killed the resol ution by a vote of 60 to 66. . What added spice to the whole dis cussion was the amendment of Mr. Reavls of Yadkin to the Justice resol ution Inserting the name of Colonel Roosevelt for that of Senator La Follette, he declaring that Colonel Roosevelt was the choice of the re publicans and If the invitation was not for partisan purposes then he saw no objection to his proposal. But there was objection of a decided sort, and the amendment was voted down, What Mr. Williams of Buncombe hoped to do when he Introduced his substitute ws to invite gtentleirtein here that both branches . would ac cept," ha being sure that the senate would vote for Messrs. Wilson, Bry an and Underwood. He said that Mr. LaFolletre ' might be the republican nominee four years hence, that he had always opposed the democrats and he thought the legislature could get its progressive ideas from democrats true and tried. He deplored the ef- I fort to cause friction between the two i, .. . ,1i.j ho, th TimHr-o r- """ ... ha ,. resolution, If adopted, would be noth Ing less than an Insult to the sen ate. Mr. Williams stated that he was not present when the matter was first brought up, and that he would nave voted for It then. Since that time new issue had been Injected and ulterior motives have predominated, For - those and many other reasons he was against the Justice resolu tlon. Mr. Roberts of Buncombe also spoke vigorously in favor of the sub stitute, saying that he had followed Colonel Bryan through three cam nalgns and would follow him again Mr. Pago of Moore declared In this connection that he thought the leg Islature had better apply Us time to better advantage, saying that he vot ed for Mr. Bryan one-third of the times he was a candidate and thought that was a pretty good tost of his democntcy. Mr. Wall of Rockingham aua also against the entire proposl- tlon. Mr. Justice of Guilford declared that when the Democrats nominate a man he cannot endorse he would do as his good friend, Mr. Page, and vote for another candidate. He did nut (hlnk that a man should place party above convictions and princl rile. He urged that to Send the res. olutlon back to the senate would be Insulting to that body. . The Conservative View, Vigorously advocating the Williams substitute. Mr. Doughton bf Alio- ghany admitted that he might be an old fogy In his Ideas, but he stood for the bill of rights. He declared that every man at times needs check on his passions and the masses are no bettur than the Individuals or no wiser. In mly to Mr. Justice Mr, Doughton sold thnt he was not afraid of the wisdom of the people, but averred that In times o great ex c-ltement the penile need a check, an this check Is the onrnnlc law. whli tint tiinple have acnuired.

WASHINGTON AWAITS DECISION OF GREY Allegations of ; Discrimination in Toll Charges Disposed of by American Secre tary's? Reply. ByvAssocfated Press. .London, Jan. 24. Secretary Knox's reply to Sir Edward Grey on the ques tion of Panama Is found unsatisfac tory to those evening newspapers which comment on it. Tho Westminster Gazette, general ly looked upon as the mouthpiece of the government, says: "The Knox suggestion leaves the door open to a long series of bicker ings, which might. do much to under mine the good relations of the two countries." , t The Pall Mall Gazette says: "Coming from sany other country than the United States, the tone of Secretary Knox's reply would be deep ly resented. (Unless international law overrides municipal law when treaty rights clash with it, International law has no existence and peaceful inter course between states becomes impos sible.", . Washington, Jan. 24. Secretary Knox's reply to the British protest against the exemption of : American coastwise shipping from tolls in the Panama canal having been received in London, it la incumbent upon the British foreign office to come to a de cision at once as to the course to be pursued in the continuance of the ne gotiations; to det-mine whether the enurt ensu weonunueu to aajusx tne supposed differences between the two countries by further exchanges or to accept Secretary Knox's offer to ex change ratifications of the - Knox- Bryce general arbitration treaty, as amended by the senate, and refer to special commission the task of find ing the actual facts as a basis for pos sible arbitration. Discrimination.: Charge Answered, Officials here are 'awaiting this de cision with great interest because pon it will depend the probability of President Taft reaching a satisfactory settlement of the question before he leaves office. Should the British gov. ernment decide to regard as satisfac tory the American statement that its pprehensions for the future treat ment of British shipping in the canal are groundless and will so express It self, the incident will be closed, at least for the time being, or until some subsequent congress might endeavor to act in a way as to warrant the charge of discrimination against for elgn shipping. Secretary Knox An his note express Iy Invited the British government to examine the facts cited by him as basis for his statement that through Professor Johnson's Inclusion of American coastwise shipping in his calculations upon which the tolls are fixed, the British objection that an un just burden was to be fastened upon British shipping has been completely met. It should not require much time to confirm that statement, as it is known that Professor Johnson's re port Is already In the possession of the British foreign office so that the Way is clear to a speedy understand Ing. . . . If Sir Edward Grey prefers to lm mediately axchangu ratifications, of the pending arbitration treaty. Presi dent Taft Is ready to a'most Immedl- ately appoint the j three American members of the special commlsklon provided under its terns to ascertain and report upon the- fasts. As tne United States senate cannot Intervene at this stage to prevent such action and while it Is true that the special commission would have no power to force arbitration of the question of canal tolls It Is probably the recom mendatlon of such tribunal, required by the terms of the treaty td be sup ported by no lens than five of the six members, would carry such weight that It might be difficult to resist the acceptance of Its plan.

Secretary Knox's reply to the British protest against the exemption of American coastwise shipping . from Panama canal tolls, assured the British - gov ernment that domestic coastwise trade will not be permitted to extend operation into foreign competitive fields and increased tolls will not be laid on foreign shipping, to balance the remission that .American ships will enjoy. If Great Britain is not Hatisfled on these concessions America proposes a special commission of ad justment ; ' . , : The communication is devoted to the purpose of reducing to the small est point and number the issues upon which the two governments failed to agree and it Is contended- that they are entirely susceptible of adjustment by diplomatic means and withort re course to arbitration. , , If this course should not prove ac ceptable to the British government, it is suggested that the whole contro versy be referred to a special commis sion of inquiry, provision for which was made in the unratified Knox Bryce general arbitration treaty. That convention was approved by the sen ate with an amendment which cur tailed the power of the special com mission of inquiry to mere investiga tion and report and refused .to per mit the commission to bind either country to a course of arbitration.

' REFORM OF CURRENCY LAWS HIS SUGGESTION Declares the Outlawing of In terlocking Directorates - . "Would Set Country Back 25 Years." By Asspclated Press, Washington, Jan. 24. To refuto the contention that a group of 180 men in the world of finance, through in- terlocklng directorates, control cor poration onsets aggregating $26,000, 000,000, Henry P. Davison, partner of J. P, . Morgan, today offerel to the house money trust Investigating committee a long prepared statement calculated to controvert statistics pre- ' pared by the committee accountants and put into the record for he pur pose of showing such a condition. Mr. Davison offered hia statement at the conclusion of his testimony andi the committee decided to deliberate whether to admit it The document ' reviews the inferences drawn from the committees tables, and- suyfi in part: .. No such control exists and no such deduction can be properly made from these tables. Those who have made such deductions have fallen into sev eral obvious errors. They failed to observe, first, that of the total num ber of directorates in these particular corporation this 'group' . represents only about one quarter; second,, that . upon this assumption, these men, In order to exercise 'control' . must act and vote in every Instance Vi a unit, although they come from different parts of the country and ' represent diverse and frequently conflicting in terests: third, that upon tls assump- . tion, the directors outside .'of. this 'group' must be mere dummies with no voice or opinion of their own w4io, in almost every instance, are overruled by a minority; finally, that this sum of $25,000,000,000 Is not actual cash or liquid assets, susceptible of mani pulation or misuse by the directors, the fact of course being that the great bulk of this enormous sum is, and for many years has been, tied up in the form of rights of way, rails, ties, equipment, factories, plants, tools, manufacturing goods and other forms of, corporate property neces sary for carriage bearing on railroad and Industrial business in the coun try. It is most regrettable and harm ful that either congress or the coun try at large should gain the wholly erroneous . Impression that these great resources are at the disposition . of a small trroup of men, or tnat tne corporations themselves are controlled by a minority of their various boards. The great accumulation oi money and credits In New York Is due in Dart to purely economic conditions and in part to the defects of our bank ing system. .
