MESSAGE BRINGS GREAT JOY
TO SUBJECTS IN NEW YORK

NEW YORK, July s0.-The reading
of the announcement to a number of
his countrymen by the consul general
in New York was greeted with cheers
Munji Bey said:
Il regard this as the most important
step forward that has yet been taken
inNso far as 1t relates to Turkish citi-
zens in this country.
There are some 100000 Turkish citi-
zens in this country and more than
200 900 of these are political fugitives.
men who have often longed to return
to their old homes but have feared to
do so.
1.-THE men may now go back to their
country without fear"
Applies to All Refugees
Referring further to the amnesty the
Turkish consul general, Mundti Bey.
said:
1.-THE amnesty applies to political, not
criminal refugees. l am sure that those
who have offended politically and have
sought an asylum in this country will
now return and help in the work of
constructing a united nation. Turkey
will now be as free as the United
States. Shortlv If l mistake not, there
will be Turkish ambassador at Wash
ington. Our aim will be to maintain
the closest relations with the United
States, as indeed is natural, since the
conditions of citizens Of this country
will be our ideal for citizenship in
Turkey.
1.-THE proclamation is made in good
faith, and there will be no repetition of
the czar's fiasco in regard to the Rus
sian duma. Turkey will now take its
former place among the nations of the
world"
The consul general said he would be
surprised If at least 100000 Turkish
subjects did not return to their native
land within the next month or so. OF
the $4,000 Armenians Syrians and the
like in this country. he estimates that
5000 at least would depart within
very short time. OF Turkish refugees,
he said, there were none here, but
large colony had settled in the prov
inces.
The proclamation and Its results
were freely discussed in the Armenian
and Syrian quarters of the city after
the statement of the consul general
was made known, and 1t was the gem
eraI opinion that 1t was made in good
faith.

DESMOND GIVES
WAY TO LINDLEY
TERM AS WHITTIER TRUSTEE
HAS EXPIRED
Action Was No Surprise, Recent Aceu-
sation Being Regarded Generally
as Blow at the Republican
Administration
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
SACRAMENTO, July 30.-Upon his
return to his office this morning after
an absence of two weeks, Governor
Gillett appointed DIR. Walter Lindley of
Los Angeles a member Of the board of
trustees of the Whittier state school,
to succeed C. C. Desmond, whose term
has expired.
Desmond was responsible for the re-
cent investigation of the Whittier
school, he having made charges of i'm
morality and neglect of duty against
Superintendent Greedy of the institu-
ton. The investigation disclosed the
fact that most of his accusations were
groundless.
Trustee C. c. Desmond heard of Gov
ernor Gillett's action in removing him
as trustee of the state school at Whit
tier and substituting DIR. Walter Lind
ley shortly after noon yesterday, but
made no comment at the moment
Friends say. however, that he has
been expecting such action even before
his term expired, as the pressing of the
charges by him at this time was re-
garded as a blow at the Republican
administration, struck in the midst of a
campaign.
1t was DR.. Lindley who first urged
Mr.. Desmond to take the trusteeship,
and he took the honorary position only
after persuasion. Mr.. Desmond even
tried to induce several personal friends
to take the appointment. Later he de-
clined to accept the presidency of the
board, and it went to Mr.. Newlin, and
later to Mr.. Clarke.
DIR. Lindley was formerly superin-
tendent of the institution and is now at
the head of the California hospital.

WORLD FLOCKS
TO WHITE DOVE
ALL NATIONS REPRESENTED
AT THE HAGUE
Not Urging Immediate Disarmament,
but Scheme by Which Increase
Can Be stopped-Import-
ance Growing
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
LONDON, July s0.--"Many signs of
the increasing Importance of the
peopce movement have developed dur
ing the progress of the present uni
versal peace congress-" said Benjamin
F. Trueblood of Boston, president of
the American Peace society and head
of the American delegation now here,
in an interview tonight.
First we have seen the number of
delegates grow until every civilized ma
ton of the globe now is represented at
the congress, and by men of standing
in their own countries. The meetings
of the congress have been exceedingly
well attended and the greatest interest
has been displayed in the discussion,
the most important of which was that
of today on the subject of the arrest
of ornaments.
MAKE it, clear" said Mr.. Trueblood,
that we are not urging immediate dis
armament, but scheme by which the
increasing expenditures for ornaments
can he stopped.
Reception Shows Growth
another incident showing the grow
ing importance of the congress was the
reception of the delegates by King Ed
be followed in the future.
THE British government has ably
seconded his majesty by inviting the
delegates TO the congress to a banquet
Friday evening, when doubtless there
will be speeches which will advance
the cause which we have so much at
heart.
These and other attentions we are
receiving from the official heads OF
Great Britain insure the success of the
congress in the future. The discussions
in the congress, while they are doing
much good, have not had so much ef-
feet as the impressions created by the
recognition we have received from rul-
ers and political leaders of countries
so vitality interested in the maintenance
of peace
Congressman T. E. Burton of Ohio,
who is here with the waterways COM
mission, has registered his name with
the delegates of the universal peace
congress.
Beside attending the meeting in Al
bert hall next Tuesday night, Wnen
David Lloyd George, chancellor or the
exchequer, speaks, he will be among
the fifty American guests at the gov
eminent banquet tomorrow night.

ODD NEW CLOCK
KEEPS TRACK OF
EARIH'S MOVES
AstronomIc Time Keeper Records
Every Change and Action of Our
PIanet-Is Work of Many
Months
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July SO.-All the move
ments of the earth are reported by
a remarkable astronomical clock which
has been placed on public view at
the American Museum of Natural His
tory 1t was designed by DR.. Her
man C. Bumpus, director of the in
stitution, and is the result of months
of patient experiment.
1t not only shows the daily rotation
of the earth upon its axis, but the
motion about the sun, and also de-
monstrates through all the year the
changes which caused the march of
the seasons.
The earth is globe of paper COM
position, four feet in diameter, while
the sun is a stereopticon placed at a
distance of ten feet. The light from
the stereopticon shines on the sphere
in such a manner as to illuminate
half of 1t at a time.
The shadow of 81 wire which is back
of the lens corresponds to the me-
ridian of New York.
The earth is caused to revolve by
means of a shaft which derives its
power from a small clock. This shaft
passes through wooden tunnel and
communicates its power to bevel gears,
which cause the sphere to be always
changing its poise.
By watching the meridian shadow
the observer can always tell the time
of day with mathematical accuracy.
No device of its kind has ever been
exhibited in a museum for the in
struction of the public, and this astro-
nomical clock rivals in its accuracy
and in the painstaking way in which
it is constructed the most delicate in
struments to be seen in we'll equipped
observatories. The contrivance was
constructed by AL H. Peers, an expert
mechanician, connected with the mu-
scum

CHANGE BROUGHT ABOUT
WITH LITTLE BLooDsHED

j. WASHINGTON, July 30.--Ambassa-
dor Leishman at Constantinople, in
dispatch to the state department touch
ing recent events in Turkey and the
proclamation of constitution says
1.-THE change has been brought about
with comparatively little bloodshed, al
though 1t is too early to determine
whether the new ministry of the gov
eminent will run without conflict or
disturbance. The constitution is limit
ed and Is the same as that granted at
the beginning of the present reign.
Changes in the ministry are taking
place and efforts are being made to
have some of the palace encourage dis
placed"
Mr. Leishman says the populace
openly charge the palace camarilla
with unscrupulousness.
The dispatch adds that a general
amnesty for political prisoners has
been proclaimed and that the i'm
prisoned are being released.

MOVEMENT OF BATTLEsHIPs
WATCHED WITH INTEREST

WASHINGTON, July So;-The state
department is still without Information,
except what has appeared IN the news
papers, touching Hollands intentions
toward Venezuela, following the eX-
pulsion of Minister de Reus and other
incidents which have been calculated
to strain the relations between the two
countries.
Today's press dispatches from The
Hague directing the battleshlp JACOB
bean sea. caused a lot of speculation
at the state and navy departments, as
it is generally expected that her tin
erary may ultimately have bearing
on the Venezuelan AFFAIR.
The vessel is battleship OF tne tnlru

LAPORTE, Ind. July 30.-Coroner
Mack announced today that DIR. Walter
Haines of Rush medical college, Chica-
go, who analysed the stomach of An
drew Helgelein of Aberdeen, S. D., the
last victim of Mrs. Bella Guinness, find
ing strychnine and arsenic in fatal
doses, had also found in the stomach of
Mrs. Guinness and two of the children
arsenic and strychnine in quantities
sufficient to have caused death.
The county officials who are working
ON the Guinness case issued a formal
statement this afternoon in which they
say:
1--WE hope now that this report will
set at rest the wagging tongues of a
few who have seen fit to declare that
Mrs. Guinness is still alive, for the
seeming purpose of creating a senti-
ment to that effect.
Just what effect this report may
have on the trial of the case of Ray
Lamphere we are unprepared to say at
