WASHINGTON, Nov. 3 The question of
granting naturalisation to Turkish subjects
Is for the determination of competent
courts. 'This Is the attitude of the State
department as defined In a statement Is
sued today and Is taken to indicate that
the department is not prepared to accept
without question the conclusion of the bu
reau of naturalization of tne Department
of Commerce and Labor that Turkish sub
jects are not entitled to naturalisation
The recent ruling of Chief Richard K.
Campbell of the bureau of naturalisation
that Syrians and their racial kindred, who
are Turkish subjects, were yellow, not
white, and that they were barred, there
fore, from naturalization under existing
laws, called forth a protest from the Otto
man charge d'affaires a few days ago,
The State department's view Is that Tur
key Is responsible In large measure for the
situation that has arisen. The department's
statement Is as follows:
"For a quarter of a century the govern
ment of the nlted States has sought, and
today continues to seek, to negotiate with
the Ottoman government a naturalisation
convention to provide for the recognition
by that government of the expatriation of
Turkish subjects duly naturalized as Amer
ican citizens. This well Illustrates the fact
that there has been absolutely no change
In the policy or views of the Department
of State on the subject of the naturaliza
tion of Turkish subjects.
Courts Will Determine.
The basis of recent press reports upon
this question have recently come to the
notice of the, Department of State. Insofar
as such reports may have been discussed as
affecting the question of naturalisation. It
Is hardly necessary to state that they are
without effect upon the above ' policy or
upon the question of granting naturalisa
tion a question which now, aa In the past.
Is for the determination of the competent
courts.
"As further Illustration of the policy
above Indicated, It may be added that the

Dr. Justin S. Klrreh of New York, who
has been upturning . available stone in
Washington recently In his effort to over
throw Mr. Campbell's ruling, has appealed
to the Smithsonian experts with results
which he regards as hlghly'satlsfactory.
He came out tonight with the statement
that Dr. Hrdllcka of the Institute's division
of physical anthropology has entirely con
firmed his contention that the Syrians and
their racial kindred, sought by Mr. Camp
bell to be excluded, are Indisputably of tne
white race. No official utterance on the
subject has been made by the Smithsonian
institute, which shows no disposition to
enter the controversy In any formal way In
absence of an official request.
Dr. Klrreh said that Dr. Hrdllcka con
firmed him in the lew that so far were the j
Syrians from being of the yellow race that
most startling disclosures are Imminent.

NEW YORK, Nov. . The most active

New York cotton exchange today. Prices
made new high records at the start, owing
to sensational gains In English and south

yesterday, but reports that Mr. Patten was
selling out his interests at an estimated
profit of nearly 3.000,000 caused tremendous
realizing ail along the line and a break
of nearly $1.50 a bale.
Around 14.74c for January and 14.91c for
March, 'however, southern bull leaders,
led by W. P. Brown, entered the market
as enormous buyers, and aided by claims
that Patten had denied the story of his

March to 15.19c, or eight to thirteen points

"That reminds me of the old quotation.
'It may be all right to dissemble your love,
but why did you kick me downstairs?'
"But I have no fault to find on that

A number of Syrians who have taken out
first papers and are nearly ready to prove
up on homesteads in northwestern South
Dakota are seriously perturbed over the
ruling of the administration to the effect
that they are Asiatics and therefore can
not become cltlxens of the United States.
The Syrians are well-behaved, progressive
and have made good farmers. One of them
proudly declared that If the United Slates
does not want them they will not stay;
that they do not care to remain here un

One of the prettiest incidents of the day
occurred as the president was leaving the
luncheon. The way from the clubhouse
door to the waiting automobile was lined
on one side by veterans of the Confederate
army and on the other side by men of the
Grand Army of the Republic. As he passed
down the avenue formed by the grlzzlid
old soldiers, Mr. Taft stopped to shake
hands alternately with each one.
Aa he shook bands with one of the Con
federates, the bid fellow said:
"Mr. President, you have captured the
secessionists, the Kuklux and the cranky
democrats, all of them."
"Well, that's a whole lot," smilingly re
plied the president.

New Disease, Pellagra, is
Subject of Big Conference
COLUMBIA, 8. C, Nov. S.-Almost com
pletely baffled as yet by one of the most
mysterious dlseasea with which It ever
confronted, and which already haa assumed
alarming proportions In this country and
practically in the south, medical science
began here today to grapple with the new
problem.
This strange disease la "pellagra," con
cerning which medical authorities know
but little, either of Its etiology or Its cure.
It Is for the purpose of throwing light,
if possible, on "pellagra" that experts on
the disease from this and other countries
assembled here today In attendance on the
National Pellagra conference, which will
continue Its sessions for probably three
days.
Every effort will be exerted to ascertain
the cause of the peculiar disease and seek
a method of treatment that will check It.
Indicative of the profound Interest that
la manifested not only In this, but In for
eign countries In regard to the diseaxe,
Is the fact that from what was at first
proposed as a purely local gathering of
physicians for the dlscusuion of pellagra,
i he prevent conference developed Into one
of national and International character.
The federal government Is keenly alive
to the Importance of the conference, being
represented by officers from the public
health and marine hospital service and the
navy.
