ALI BEY is RECALLED


Constantinople establish beyond doubt
the fact that Mehmed Ali Bey, the
Turkish minister at Washington, has
been recalled. This action of the porte
it is undegstood, is due to the changed
conditions in Turkey and to the forma-
ton Of new ministry.
WASHINGTON, Aug, 10.-Because of
the reticence of the officials at the
Turkish legation no statement could
be obtained tonight regarding the re-
call Of Mehmed Ali Bey. Recently the
minister has had several conferences
with Acting Secretary of State Adees
but both officials regarded the meet
ings as of confidential nature and
neither felt at liberty to divulge what
took place. The minister uniformly has
expressed his preference to remain in
this country, as he has grown to like
it and the people. 1t is thought, too,
that he would prefer TO stay here until
conditions in Turkey become more set
tied and thus render his return to bis
native land more auspicious.
1t was ascertained, however, that
during call at the state department
today the minister made inquiries as
to whether the officials had heard
anything from Ambassador Leishman
at Constantinople regarding the minis
ter's father, Izzet Pasha, whom reports
from New York indicate .is believed
to have arrived there recently under
an assumed name. All he was able to
learn on the subject of his inquiry
was that Leishman had reported that
Izzet Pasha had left Constantinople
a week ago. The minister says he does
not know the whereabouts of his
father.

VICTIM SUES LOAN SHARKS
Wants Thousand Dollars Damage to
Pay for job They Made
Him Lose.

James Park OF Thlrty-eighth and Pratt
streets has brought suit against the Omaha
Mortgage Loan company, in the Board of
Trade building, for $1,000 damages, alleging
that company caused him to lose his posi-
ton. Papers IN the suit we're filed in
county court Tuesday afternoon by John
o. Yeiser, attorney for the plaintiff.
In his petition James Park alleges that
on April II. 1907. he borrowed S5 of the
Omaha Mortgage Loan company, agreeing
to pay it back in small payments with in
terest at-the rate of 10 per cent per month.
Mr.. Park claims to have paid back the en-
tire amount OF the loan. together with In
terest, amounting to 1910. In addition to
this the company claims IS as being due,
the plaintiff asserts. This he refused to
pay. The company then began to harass
him. Its agents called repeatedly at his
place of employment, the Armour packing
house In South Omaha. told his employers
that their employe would not pay his bills,
garnished his wage and eventually caused
him to lose his position.

NEW WAY TO BOOST OMAHA
Let All Hotel ste~noRraPhers Use
Omaha, the Market Town"
Stationery.

The booster spirit is spreading In Omaha
Gradually the idea is taking hold Of men
and women OF all classes that by doing
something for the city in which they live
they will make everyone more business and
indirectly benefit themselves.
Anna M. Bailey, stenographer at the
Merchants hotel, is the latest recruit, and
an idea advanced by her promises to re-
suit in a "stenographers' boosters conven-
ton"
Miss Bailey walked into the office OF the
Commercial club Tuesday and unfolded
her plan for boosting Omaha. And It al
ready looks good to other stenographers
at the hotels, and Miss Bailey has no copy
right on 1t.
1T occurred to me that every letter 1
send out for business men or write for
travellers could be made a boost for
Omaha said Miss Bailey. The ste
nographers at the hotels use thousands Of
sheets of white typewriter paper, perfectly
plain. Now, is 1t possible to have some
thing printed on the top of the paper to
make a letter head which would be neat
and yet say something about Omaha. For
instance, no traveller who dictates a letter
to the photographers at the hotels could OBJ
ject to having Omaha, the Market Town,
printed neatly in one corner Of the paper.
In fact, some of those who dictate letters
want a letter head used. and frequently
ask that the hotel stationery be used"
Miss Bailey was so inoculated with the
booster spirit that she said after making
the suggestion:
II don't know whether the girls would
want to pay for all the printing" indicating
that they might be willing 10 pay for a
part of 1t just to boost the city.
The advertising committee of the Com
mercial club has the suggestion under con-
sideration.
The club will do it's share when 1t comes
to decorations for Ak-Sar-Ben, and DR.. w.
]. Bradbury and S. ]. Potter have been
named as a committee to see that the top
floor of the Board of Trade building is
decorated in Ak-Sar-Ben colors.
