OLDEST MAN IN WORLD NEAR DEATH CONSTANTINOPLE, Jan. (#) — The famous old Turk, Zaro Agha, who claims that his one hun- dred and fifty years make him the oldest man in the world, is to be honored, and ineldentally, saved from starvation by the city of Con- stantinople. The aged man has been unable for the past year or two to carry on his life-long trade as hamal. The hamals are the human delivery wag- ons of Turkey, and it is a common thing to see one of these porters, bent nearly double, plodding stead- ily along the street with a plano or bedstead or dining room table on his back. As Zaro Agha has grown somewhat too old for this Hercu- lean occupation he has found it dift- ficult to supply himself with the bread and cheese of existence, for the pension which he recelyes from the Association of Hamals is any- thing but large. Now the prefect of ousteaticopte Emine Bey, has-appointed Zaro as doorkeeper for the municipal coun- cil. Therefore he will now have not only bread and cheese aplenty, a uniform and a warm place to sit in, but a feeling of importance befit- ting the dignity of his years.

It is the third at- tempt by the two groups to adjust their differe “A new pressure of public opinion, exerted within the last 48 hours, I am certain,” said Mr. Lewis, “will have clarified the atmosphere for our negotiations, and I will be sur- prised if a changed spirit does not prevail In the joint conference.” Others did not share the optimism of the miners’ leader.
