[" Sherbrooke Daily Record.Established 1897 SHERBROOKE, QUE.TUESDAY, JANUARY 28, 1913.ONE CENT BALKAN ALLIES MARK TIME Negotiations are off Unless New Proposals are Made By Turkey KIAM PASHA EX-GRAND VIZIER, REPORTED TO HAVE BEEN STRICKEN WITH PARALYSIS.Constantinople, Jan.28.\u2014(Special) \u2014A report was current to-day that Kiam Pasha, ex-Grand Vizier, had been stricken with paralysis, but it was announced at.his residence that he was merely suffering slight indisposition, resulting from a bad cold.BOTH PLAYING WAITING GAME.London, Jan.28.\u2014The special committee appointed by the Balkan plenipotentiaries drafted a note yesterday notifying the Turkish plenipotentiaries that they propose to break off the peace negotiations.The note was not submitted to the Balkan delegation, which held no meeting yesterday.Instead, the delegates gave a luncheon in celebration of the saint day of Saba, the patron of the orthodox church.This was attended by several of the military members of the delegations, who are leaving London to rejoin the armies in expectation of a resumption of hostilities.The note as drafted is very brief.It reminds the Turks that since Jan.C the sittings of the peace conference have been suspended, without Turkey making any move toward their resumption, while the events which have occurred in Constantinople are the best proof that Turkey\u2019s answer to the demands of the allies, concerning Adrianople and the Aegean Islands will be negative.On this account,, unless the Turkish delegation has fresh proposals to make, the note points out, the allies see no alternative but definitely to break off the negotiations.The Servian ex-premier, M.Nova-kovitch, will give a luncheon to-da.y in honor of the other delegations, after which a meeting will be held for the purpose of examining the note.Thus another day will be gained before facing the question of reopening the war.Rechad Pasha, head of the Turkish delegation, in an interview last night, said that he deeply regretted the obstinacy of the allies, which, he declared, was not only against Turkey\u2019s hut against their own true interests.TURKEY'S PROGRESSIVE GOVERNMENT.Constantinople, Jan.28.\u2014Prince Said Halim, president of the Council of State, and Secretary of the Committee of Union and Progress, has been appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs.The first industrial act of the new Government is the granting of a concession to a German group for the construction of an underground railroad from Bayezid, in Stamboul, to Chichli, the farthest quarter of Pera.The railway will run under the Golden Horn.It is reported that a German hank will give Turkey financial aid in return, but the bank denies this report.The Acting Foreign Minister characterizes the allies\u2019 proposal to denounce the armistice as another example of attempted intimidation to which Turkey is becoming accustomed.wolfe mm AGfL SOCIEIV Meeting was Held at Marbleton and Officers Were Elected

January 28.-Recent financial events in the province of Quebec formed the subject of a triplet of motions made by Hon.Rodolphe Le mieux yesterday for the production of papers.Incidentally Mr.Lemieux directed attacks at Sir Rodolphe Forget, whom he did not mention by name, and Hon.Mr.White, minister of finance.The Quebec merger, the Quebec and Saguenay Railway and the Banque Internationale were the matters which were before the House from four o'clock until after midnight, and the last subject drew statements from Pmniet Borden, the Minister of Finance as well as the leader of the Opposition and the Postmaster-General.In regard to the Quebec and Saguenay Railway, definite assurance was given by the Minister of Railways, and reiterated by the Premier, that no negotiations had been entered into, much less any assurance given, of Government guarantee of bonds.But it was the Banque Internationale which provoked the warmest speeches.The member for Rouville, in trying to persuade the Minister of Finance against the assenting to the amalgamation of the Internationale with the Home Bank, asserted that the Treasury Board of the late Government had refused certifleato to the Banque Internationale, and he also brought out.various points, such as the ejectment of the French shareholders at the recent annual meeting, mid the court proceedings resulting against the manager.1W H Federal Jury Nearly Through With Its Investigations CITY com IT IS THOUGHT MORE THAN PROBABLE THAT OTHER INDICTMENTS WILL FOLLOW New York, January 28.\u2014The Federal attorneys who have been conducting the re-investigation of the alleged monopoly agreement between the New Haven and the Grand Trunk roads said yesterday that they expected a report from the Grand Jury before the end of the week.The work of the jury is proceeding rapidly, because nearly all the witnesses testified at the previous investigation and many of them arc required only to hear their former testimony read and to affirm its cor rcctncss.Interest in the investigation centres in the possibility that if new indictments arc found they may charge additional offences and include other defendants besides Charles S.Mellon, E.J.Chamberlin and Alftcd W.Smithers, officers of the two railroads who were inducted by the previous jury.ALLOWANCE FOR EXPLORER\u2019S WIDOW.Ottawa, Jan.28.\u2014Asking a compassionate allowance for the widow of the late William Ogilvie, the ori-ginnl Governor of the Yukon, a delegation saw the Premier yesterday.Mr.Ogilvie died poor recently, but it.was pointed out that his services to the country ns an explorer and administrator had hem invaluable.The delegation Included Dr.Thompson, M.P., and a number of Conservative members, along with the lion.Frank Oliver and Sir Richard Scott.The Premier promised earnest consMem-tlou, IS ORGANIZING Will Carry Commission Management Plans Into Effect DECIDE UPON COMMITTEE CHAIRMEN\u2014FIRST MEETING NEXT MONDAY The members of the new City Council, with the exception of Aid.Ewing and Aid.Masse, met at an informal meeting, last night, to form plans for the work of the coming year.His Worship Mayor Hebert presided.The question of Commission Government was discussed at considerable length, and it is understood that the wishes of the citizens in this connection will be respected.The first move will be the appointment 0f a capable man to take charge of all the outside work.As a result of an advertisement which was recently inserted in an engineering journal several applications have been received.The Council will also advertise in the local press so as to give an opportunity to Sherbrooke men who may he qualified to apply for the position.WILL HAVE EXTENSIVE WORKING POWERS.It is the intention of the Council to give the Commissioner in charge of the outside work as free a hand as possible.It will be his duty to see that the money appropriated by the Council is properly spent in order that the citizens get a dollar\u2019s worth of value for every dollar spent.It is not yet known whether the powers of the Commissioner will be defined by by-law for the next year, or whether the members of the Council will reach an agreement .by which the necessary powers will be invested in the Commissioner.CONTROLLER FOR FINANCES For the time being the Council will not appoint a Controller to take charge of the finances of the City.Before doing this it is their intention to have an expeet auditor go over the books very carefully, in order tbiat he may report to them what improvements to the system are required.Once the Council has this report and has decided upon an improved system of office management, steps will be taken to secure a competent man to look after this all important department.WILL BE GIVEN A FAIR TRIAL.The fact that the majority of the Council is in favor of Commission Government may be taken as a guarantee that the system will be given a fair trial.In the past the personnel of the Council has been changed from time to time, but there has been no appreciable improvement in the results accomplished.The next step is to change the system and this is what will be done this year.If the present Council will only cooperate with the Commissioners there is little doubt but that the affairs of the City will be better managed in the future than in the past.THE NEW COMMITTEES.During the two informal meetings held by the City Council the question of chairmen of committees has been discussed at considerable length.At the meeting held on Friday evening last the chairmen were practically decided upon.The retirement of Aid.L.H.Olivier has left the Finance Committee without a head.For this important committee Aid.J.M.Jenckcs has been selectod^^iy his confreres, and it is understood has the hearty support of the majority of the council- CHANGE IN LIGHT COMMITTEE.The council has also practically decided on a change of chairman in the Light Department.Aid.Thompson, who has been chairman for several years, is to be replaced by Aid.Wm.Brault.Aid.Thompson will be given the Road Committee, which has long been considered the most difficult, as well as one of the most important, committees of the council.OTHER CHAIRMEN.Aid.Simoneau, whose chairmanship of the Road Committee during the past year was so fraught with obstacles of every nature, has been given a somewhat easier berth, and will hereafter guide the destiny of the Water Department.Aid.Ewing will succeed to the chairmanship of the Fire Department; Aid.F.R.Darche is booked for the Police Committee, Aid.Masse for the Sanitary, Aid.Forest for the Parks and Real Estate and Aid.Prunier for.the City Hall.ALD.DENAULT ON MARKET COMMITTEE.Aid.Denault has been assigned to the Market Committee.It was thought that in view of his experience in the council he would have been given a more important committee, but the practice of allotting the minor committees to newcomers was followed out in his case.This slate will have to be submitted to the first public meeting of the council, and may possibly he revised on that occasion.This meeting will take place on February 3rd, Km

outbreaks of the militant women will appear insignificant.Last night 2,000 policemen were engaged in dispersing the huge crowds aroung the Parliament buildings, shopkeepers were hoarding up show windows, and excited women were making incendiary speeches in several halls.The women believe that the politicians have played a carefully studied trick upon them, and the decision of the Government

bought up at par, without public subscription, four per cent, five-year treasury bonds to the amount of 880,000,000, the issue of which was authorized last December to meet the expenses of the development of the State railroads and for other purposes.A portion of this sum, to the amount of about.$10,-000,000 v/ill be employed to pay off the Ottoman debt accruing to Italy ami a further amount will he devoted to meet expenses Incident to the war In Tripoli.Norwood Company Takes Over Property Held by Corporation AUDIT OF BOOKS SHOWS ENCOURAGING STATE OF AFFAIRS.Cowansville, Jan.28.\u2014(Special)\u2014 Mr.P.C.Duboyce, N.P., has just finished auditing the books of the municipality and finds a more encouraging state of affairs than has been manifest for several years.The interest on all the bond issues has been met, and an unusually important and large amount of concrete work has been done on the approaches to the larger bridge here, and still there remains $1,336.95 to apply to sinking fund account.The waterworks system has been more than self-sustaining this year and there are scarcely any arrears of taxes uncollected.Two portions of the year\u2019s business loom big in the ratepayers\u2019 eyes, and justly so.The first of these is the sale to a really solvent business firm of the Woodburn property, which for years looked like a white elephant on the hands of the Corporation.The unsecured condition of the Corporation\u2019s claim against the Woodburns rendered it necessary to buy the plant and hold it until some good company needed it, ftnd the Norwood Company fill the requirements of being a first-class company, wanting a good plant for the manufacture of hydrants, water coolers and several other staples, and of being able to pay for what they want.This firm is getting ready to open up here.They ask no bonus, and mean business.They are paying $7,-500 for the plant and lease rights to the land^and will soon be a very distinct addition to the village and an asset to the community.The printing machinery installed in the building was sold to Mr.J.J.Barker, the hustling job printer of Cowansville, for $3,500, and he also paid cash, which is a very satisfactory fashion of doing business.The Woodburn?ran their business in a different fashion and came to grief.The sale of this property by the Corporation will clear up an old sore.The Corporation made a fine arrangement with the liquidators, who met the Corporation halfway, and now bid fair to get soon safely out of the woods with only a tithe of the loss that was expected during many weary months.The second item of importance in the ratepayers\u2019 eyes is the loan secured from the Government for macadamizing roads, and this is in need of no explanation.Three or four vears ago South street and the East Farnham road were macadamized from end to end.Now Main street will receive much needed attention.The time is not forgotten when the road from here to Sweetsburg was the best in the Towpships.That time will soon reappear.- M ANSON VILLE.A meeting of the Manson ville Board of Trade 'will be held in the Town Hall on Tuesday evening, January 28 th.Did you see Monte

drivers shoffid be extra careful in their driving on the iced roads.This caution Is not so necessary on their own account as the aut° holds to its course well hut the danger is to the sleighs and their occupants.Sleighs are inclined to slip sideways on the ice covered streets and some autoists in meeting rigs do not count on this possibility.A citizen reports some narrow escapes in this connection and asks that the attention of auto drivers be called to this source of danger.There is, he says, much more reason for adhering to the speed limit in winter than there is in summer.ORDINATION AT MAGOG.On Saturday Mgr.Paul Larocque, Bishop of Sherbrooke, went to Magog to officiate at the ordination to the priesthood of the Abbe J.Cor-teux, son of Mr.J.C.A.Corteux, a
