DAVIS PULLED DOWN

Turkey, Says He Was InsuIted.
Constantinople. Dec. S-The United
States flag over the consulate at Alex
andretta, Asiatic Turkey, has been
hauled down, and Consul Davis has
left his post for Beirut in consequence
of a serious diplomatic incident, dur
ing which Mr.. Davis was nsulted and
assaulted by the local police.
The affair grew out of the arrest of
an ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Attaran, d
naturalized American citizen. Alta
rian had been in prison at Aleppo dur
ing the last two months, and had Just
been liberated through the intervention
of the American consular agent, on
condition of his leaving the country
forthwith.
Mr.. Davis was accompanying Alta
rtan on board a departing steamer,
when the police intercepted the
party assaulted and Instituted Mr..
Davis, and, despite the resistance of
the consul and his attendant guards,
rearrested Attarian and took him back
to prison. Mr.. Davis Immediately
lowered the flag over the consulate
and formally broke off relations with
the Turkish authorities by quitting
AleXandretta, leaving the consulate in
charge of the vice consul.
mob of Moslems seized on the &C.
casion to make a hostile demonstra-
ton against the consulate and against
the Christians generally.
The local authorities assert that Mr..
Davis struck the police with cane,
and that after the rearrest of Alta
rian the consular cavasses military
couriers) attempted to rescue him, and
that in the fracas which ensued the
cavasses broke the windows of the
prison.
The matter is engaging the energetic
attention of the United States legation
here. Minister Leishman has made
urgent representations to the Porte
and is now awaiting fuller report be-
fore taking further steps.

OTHER CITIES Bull DING
THEIR OWN INTERURBANS

Within the past two days one inter
urban company that proposes to build
into Moline has been bonded for the
purpose of construction and another
has been granted articles of incorpOr-
alton. Davenport has one line under
construction to connect with up-river
points and another that it seems GER
tain will be built to Muscatine and
Iowa City. Every city that hasn't an
interurban built. building or reason
ably certain to he built, is awakening
to the Importance Of such a thing and
taking steps to get one. Rock Island
seems to be in the same position as
Quincy. which place, however. has had
an interurban projected and begun.
but not completed. Commenting upon
this. the Pittsfeld Times says:
THE Bracey Howard company,
which attempted to finance the QVin-
cy interurban enterprise. is in tinan-
cial trouble and was unable to raise
money to pay a freight bill last week.
The Quincy journal has given up all
hope of that company building an in
terurban road for that city, which is
exactly what a great many other peo-
pie did some time ago. When keOkuk
wanted an interurban road her bust
ness men built it. and KeOkuk is
neither as rich nor as big as Quincy.
Hannibal will build one or two the

same way. If Quincy wants interur-
ban railroads, why don't she build
them herself?'
The Quincy Journal reproduces the
above and then adds: That's the
question. Quincy could build these in
terurban lines and never sweat hair.
TO do this would require united ac-
ton. some foresight. some enIighten-
ed selhshness. some willingness to
spend dollar now in order to get five
or 10 back in the future.
The wealth is here, the people are
here. a magnificent field is here. all
the essential elements are here. What
we lack is a leader. some man with
some money who will get out in the
open and say: Come on. boys, I'm
going
God helps those who help them
selves. If Quincy gets interurban
railways. we believe that she will have
to build them. Our people subscribed
100000 for the Bracey-Howard deal
as a donation. Any bright man can
take twice that sum and start the pro-
posed roads. and build them. bonding
them, if necessary. as they are built.
1T is no feather in Quincy's cap TO
sit here and do nothing while StTea-
tor. La Sale. Peru. Ottawa. Aurora.
Elgin. Rockford, Freeport. Dixon.
Galesburg. Monmouth. Kewanee, Ma

Hannibal are getting interurban troll
ley lines. The whole state and the
whole country is being criss-crossed
with trolley lines. And Quincy and
this field are not getting a speck. 1t
is too bad to let matters rum on thus.
Quincy should be the center of a
splendid interurban trolley system.
Rock Island business men may pom
der upon the situation as presented at
Quincy with profit. Keokuk business
men wanted an interurban badly
enough to build one on their own ac-
count, and Hannibal citizens are
about of a mind to do the same thing.
Yet no one for minute denies that
Rock Island needs the same sort of
service worse than either of those
cities. What encouragement is Rock
Island giving interurban enterprises

Mr.. Clement took occasion during his
