SECRETLY MURDERED 40 FOR THE SULTAN
za By ex-Head of Turkish Secret Police, Explains Methods of CamariIa-
The System OF Espionage-Euad Pasha, a Field Marshal and
Adherent of Young Turks, Tells of His EScapes.

~ vi tOdh6
Lonuon.-Zia Bey, the former head
of Turkeys Secret Police, who is a
refugee in London, in an interview
said:
Il am glad to be here, and it is
not possible that l will ever return to
Turkey. You must remember that
at the bidding of my superiors l have
been the means of running Ministers,
officers and Government officials, and
ITO Turks, many of them members of
the most honorable families, disap-
peared during my term of Office.
"It mattered not who were the
persons to be removed, the orders
from the Yildiz Kiosk were implicitly
obeyed. To be denounced by the Sc
cret police was sufficient to ruin any
one. Can you wonder that Turkey
has seen the last of me?
The Porte as an administrative
machine ceased to exist twenty-five
years ago; since then all the power
has been centred in the Yildiz Kiosk.
l do not blame the Sultan entirely,
nor the Chamberlains entirely. Their
power rested in a sort of working
agreement, which enabled them to
manipulate the resources of the m
pire in their own interests. Izzet
Pasha, the Sultan's secretary, is re-
puted to have saved $500, 900,
which he has invested in the United
States. The Sultan himself has at
least SIS, 0O0,0 900 invested in Europe,
this amount being his percentage on
brides from contractors for war
stores and army and navy supplies.
Il often reflected that this could
not go on forever, but the end came
quicker than most of US expected"
Zia Bey explained the difficulties
he had in making his escape from
Turkey. The Sultan, he said, warned
him to fee, and he had to shoot a
a dead who tried to prevent his
embarkation despite the disguise he
had adopted.

FOR GOOD ROADS
Quaker Legislature Is Asked to-
Appropriate S5O,OOO,OOO
for Highways
BY K. K. PH0mmedieu

The latest state to be heard from in
the cause of good roads is Pennsylva-.
MIA. Spurred on by the example of
New York and the New England states,
the enthusiasts are making a demand
on the legislature Of their state for an
appropriation of $50,000,000 for the
highways. The moving spirit in this
movement is the Pennsylvania motor
federation, which has already appealed
to the mayors of 1000 cities and to
5000 township commissioners and road
Supervisors to join together as an aux
iliary committee and get all the sig
natures possible to a set of petitions
which will be presented soon at the
state capital.
The petitions will ask the support of
tbe legislature for three separate good
an amendment to the constitution au-
thorizing the issuance of s5o,000.000 in
bonds for highway improvement. The
second bill asks for an appropriation OF
not less than $5,000,000 for immediate
use. and also for the appointment by
the governor of q board which shall
designate the location of the main state
highways. and carry their construction
TO completion, further providing that
such board shall purchase certain toll
roads.
The third measure comprises a plan
for the application of preservatives to
the stone roads constructed by state
aid. The revenues necessary for this
plan would be derived from motor We
hicle license fees. The three bills are
designed to work in harmony to effect
the one purpose, and, as indicated in
the description are practically COM
Elementary to each other.
Charles S. Howard OF the Howard au-
tomobile company wired from the east
yesterday that two carloads OF "a morse Sc
ffactory and would be hurried to the
coast These are to be followed by sew
eral other carloads.

NOT INTERESTED IN
FREEZING QUESTION
Cold Snaps of East No Trouble
to AutomobiIists of
California

One of the greatest advantages the
motorist of California has over his
eastern brother is the condition of the
winter climate. In the east it almost
invariably happens that the first cold
snap of the fall finds some innocent
motorists unprepared for the inevitable,
and the result is the shelving of their
cars while repairs are made, necessi-
tated by the freezeup. In California
the only trial the user of the motor
car is a victim to during the winter
season is the wet, slushy street and
the mud, which causes the car to skid.
but with the aid of the chains the mo-
tor vehicle may be used at all times
without the provoking loss of time,
and the expense of the repairs neces-

other inconveniences caused by exces-

power. and this only after passing a
satisfactory examination.
According to statistics received the
present production of motor cars in the
United States has reached the enormous
total Of $4,000 machines a year.
A device has recently been brought
to the notice of the automo obilisi
whereby brakes may be applied to the
front wheels of a car. The makers OF
this arrangement are preparing to fiji
front brakes to any car in place of the
more usual propeller shaft or counter
shaft brake, and so great is their faith
in the system that they offer to remove
it and replace the old floor brake IN
the event of failure in action.
