Over a Demonstration of Wireless
Telearaphy.

telegraphy has been boycotted in Tur-
key. The sultan yesterday witnessed
experiments held for his benefit, and
before the tests were completed ordered
their immediate ending, declaring that
the wireless telegraph was the inven-
ton of the evil one. He further COM
manded that the apparatus must be
kept away from his presence, that men
tion of the matter should never be
made to him, and that the dominion
over which he rules should not be
cursed with its presence.
After leaving the place where the
experiments were had the sultan ap-
peared badly scared, his widest inn
aginations being sent on a rampage by
the sending of message through the
space of the heavens.

FIGHT TO GUST GOULD
From Control Of Wabash Is on in
Earnest.

New York, Sept. 15.-Wabash was
the storm center in Wall street today
and from the beginning of the days
trading it became manifest that the
fght to oust George Gould from con-
troll of the great railway system is on
in deadly earnest. The events of the
day made it apparent also that Joseph
Ramsey, Jr., president of the Wabash
has powerful allies in his war against
Gould.
At the close of the days operations
in the street the consensus OF opinion
was that the Pennsylvania railroad is
back of President Ramsey in his strug-
Gle to wrest control of the Wabash
from Gould. Some of the largest finan-
ciers also saw the hand of Rockefeller
in the fight. For long time Wall
street has been aware of the fact that
John ID. Rockefellcr is hostile to all the
Gould interests.
President Ramseys call for proxies
was the first real intimation Wal
street got that new war had begun
against Gould. 1t speedily became thu
feature of all of the trading. Wabash
both common and preferred, jumped a
the opening from ~ to points, ant
It was apparent that some of the large
interests were buying heavily. Part o
this trading was obviously for profit!
in the movement of the stocks.
According to statement made toda!
by John P. Ramsey, son of Presiden
Ramsey, Gould is in control OF just AZ
per cent of the capital stock OF thu
Wabash.

Hadley of Toledo, o., died very sud-
denly at the Bon Air apartment house

maintains strange reticence, though
Hadley tells a straightforward story
and courts an autopsy to clear his
wife's name from an imputation of sui
eide. Dr. A. c. Bottle, the city chem
ist one of the physicians called, has
notified the coroner that it looked as
though death resulted from some sort
of poison.
The Hadley came here on their
honeymoon some months ago and de-
cided to remain year or more.

WOULD THE BARON
|. COMMIT RAR|-KARI2
JAPANESE SAYS KoMURA WILL
NEVER RECOVER.
Claims He Is Committing slow Suicide
by Means OF Some Powerful
Drug.

Sioux City, Ia, Sept. 15.-Baron Ko-
mura, the japanese peace plenf-
potentiary, is committing slow suicide,
according to Takahira, manager of a
troupe of vaudeville performers now
appearing here. Takahira is highly ed
ucated and speaks English. In the
course of an interview today regarding
the conditions of Japan, he inquired
soliCitously regarding the condition Of
Komura. He was told that it was no
worse.
But he will never get WELL" replied
Takahira, slowly. when the message
was clicked over the cable that my
countrymen were preparing to receive
him with funeral rites | knew ne
would never return to Japan. He
doubtless had learned this already by
private cablegram.
1T was our nations way of appris-
ing him that he. was in disgrace, and
that he could only atone for it by
showing through his death that he was
still a hero and patriot. You Ameri-
cans little realize what hari-kari means
to us.
"Komura knew full well that there
was but one course left. Knowing that
Americans would not understand his
act and that II would be viewed here
as a disgrace, he could not commit
hari-kari in the usual manner.
He accordingly had recourse to
some Of the many powerful though sub
tie drugs with which japanese states
men and soldiers are familiar. 1t pro-
duced a fever and makes it appear that
he is dying of disease, but when the
end comes our countrymen will under
stand and once more acclaim him a
hero"
