TAFT NOTIFIED
The Republican Nominee Hears Good
News at Cincinnati.

The Republican Nominee Hears Good
News at Cincinnati.
In delivering his speech of accept
ance at Cincinnati Tuesday, William H.
Taft, the Republican national conven-
tons nominee for president, paid a
high tribute to the Roosevelt poll
cies." His formal address in accepting
the news of his nomination, conveyed
by the conventions representative
reference to the political course of
President Roosevelt, referring to the
latter as "the man who formulated the
expression of the popular conscience.
The nominee then declared that the
chief function of the next administra-
ton ''is to complete and perfect the
machinery by which these standards
are to be maintained" The nominee
then paid his respects to the Demo
cratic platform and gave his views re-
garding the railway and trust ques-
tions and the national control of inter
state commerce. He upheld the COM
bination of capital as an economic
movement in manufacture, pointed out
the difference between good" and
bad trusts and showed how the lat
ter ought to be regulated.
The Republican doctrine of protec-
ton was upheld, though the necessity
for a revision of the tariff was pointed
out. Considerable attention was de-
publican party has done for labor" and
he then pointed out what labor cannot
do in the way of boycotts and such
measures without creating injurious
class distinctions. In this connection
the nominee gave a careful statement
of his views regarding the power OF
court injunctions, concluding that
never in the history of the country
has there been such an inSidiOuS at
tack upon the judicial system as the
tween all orders of the court made
after full hearing and the enforce
ment Of such orders"
The currency system and the need
of new legislation along that line was
then dealt with by the nominee, who
expressed himself in favor of postal
savings banks, at the same time OBJ
jecting to the proposal to insure bank
deposits. Our relations to the Philip
pines and other island dependencies
received attention and the party's at
titude toward the rights and progress
of the negro was outlined in the Gus
tomary phrases. On the question of
the publicity of campaign contribu-
tons, the nominee declared that the
treasurer of the national committee,
being a New Yorker, was subject to
the laws of that state in this matter,
"and a misstatement by him or the fill
ing of false account will subject him
to prosecution for perjury and viola
ton of the statute"
The notification ceremonies took
place on the spacious lawn fronting the
residence of the nominees brother,
Charles P. Taft, and were followed by
a big parade of local and visiting poll
teal and civic organizations, this fea-
ture being largely non-partsan in char
acter.

THEY DO A GOOD JOB
After Years Of Struggle Young Turks
Force the Sultan to Grant
Constitution.
ABDUL HAMID BROUGHT TO TIME

To the Surprise of All Observers of
the Progress of Events in Turkey,
Abdul Hamid Wakes Up to the Re-
aization of the Fact That His Last
Prop Had Been Knocked Out From
Under Him = With Army Refusing
to Do His Autocratic Will, He Found
1t Time to Grant Popular Conces-
sionc.
Constantinople, July 29.-After thir-
ty-twO years of autOcratic rule under
Sultan Abdul Hamid H., Turkey again
has been granted constitution. An
imperial trade has been issued Ordain-
ing that a chad be assembled. This
present constitution is practically O.
restoration of the one proclaimed Dec.
%, 1876, by the present sultan imme-
diately following his elevation to the
sultanate, after the death of Sultan
Abdul ASH, June of that year and
the deposition of Sultan Murad ", on
Aug. 81, 1876.
This action on the part of the sultan,
which came as complete surprise to
all observers of the progress of events
in Turkey, was wreSted from him by
the Young Turks, a political party that
has been working for a good many
years for the establishment of con-
stitutional government in the realm of
the sultan. Last fall the Young Turks
and representatives of the various
races and creeds in Macedonia, met in
Paris and decided to-cOncentrate their
energies on bringing about govern
ment for Turkey that should be mod
eled on the Western system. The eff
forts to this end were characterized by
a quiet determination, and few people
were aware to what extent the prOpa-
ganda had f1ourished and taken root
About ten days ago there began to
come reports of mutinies among the
Turkish troops in Macedonia, and it
Wdo ucCldISO llldC tIG IOu1o III No
had succeeded in winning over 80 per
cent of the Turkish army officers to
their cause. This was cutting the
ground out from under the sultans
feet, and the last straw was broker
when the sultan learned that the wild
people of the Albanian country would
support him no longer, but had joined
the Liberal movement and were call
ing loudly for constitutional reforms.
Then suddenly the sultan decided to
bow to the inevitable rather than face
the alternative, a revolutionary out
break throughout all Macedonia.
Up to the present day Turkey has
been a "theocratic absolute mon
archy," subject to the direct personal
control of the sultan, who has been at
once temporal autocrat and recognized
khalif, or successor of the prophet, and
consequently spiritual head of the
Moslem world. This theocratic abso-
lutism has been tempered not only by
traditional usage, local privileges, the
judicial and spiritual precepts of the
Koran and it's Ulema interpreters and
the privy council, but also by the grow
ing force of public opinion and the di-
rect and indirect pressure of the pow
ers of Europe.

 The police department feels conndent that when yesterday Jim Franklin ana Freeman Jones. negroes, were arIest, ed ana A quantity of stage money was found in their room. an extenaed series of fifm-flam games was enoeo. The men were arrested by Captain ot Police Niles smith and Omcers hap- port Leaveil and Watts.
 There are several hunco games that are believed to have been done oy the negroes. The schemes they are said to have been working include the finding of the poclet-book. the re- markable finding of s1O0 bill. the short-chanxe diversion, clever com minxling of trade certificates and real rreenbacks, and a plain palming or Confederate money.
 All those games are of course out door sports, and the men now incarce- rated in the city prison are thought to have worked on the streets altogether and not by a system of house warm ing.
 room was searched. In 1t was found A big trunk containing the stage money and some other equipment nee- essary for the games.
 The cases on which the men are held have presented unusual difficulties in that most of the victims were negroes from the country and made indirect reports to the department of which officers have been working steadily for some time.
 Franklin and Jones. who carries an alias of "Kid." will have trial before Recorder Baber.

Birmingham, March 2s.--(SpeciaLl--- Not a single man of the forty-six ar- rested during Saturday night or the eight arrested Saturday at noon oy the police and sheriff's forces for be- ing about premises where art and ht- erature' is promoted and whiskey and beer is disposed of on the side. had weapon" said Sheriff Higdon today, in discussing the raids made on so-called social clubs. This shows that the laws prohibiting the carrying of con- ceaied weapons are being observed generally"
 It developed today that members of the Law and Order League promised to so with the officers on the raids on the four clubs Saturday night. and R. M. Goodall and F. M. Jackson. two of the most prominent citizens of Birrning- ham. and at the head of the Law and Order League in Birmingham, were with the officers when one of the larger clubs were entered and twenty men were placed under arrest. men who were employed about the place and those who were only members.
 The object of getting out the war rants in the police court was for the purpose of having an early investigA- ton and a test of the law.
 The judge of the police court will pass on the cases Wednesday and Thursday. He may place lines rang ing from S200 to $500 and additional service at hard work.
 If there are convictions. the cases win be appealed to the Criminal Court. Then the appeals will go to the Su- preme Court. which means that . de- cision may be secured sometime De- fore fall. If the warrants had been issued in other courts, the matter would have gone to the grand jury, which would have given some delay, and then the cases would have to be set and there would be further de- lay. It might have been year and half before any kind of decision would have been secured.
 whether there will be any further raids remains to be seen. Sheriff Hig- don announces that he will serve all warrants placed in his hands.
