NEW REGIME IN GRAVE DANGER.

MADISON, Wis, Oct. 81 Special !
The effect Of the new constitutional
regime Of Turkey can hardly fail TO be
disastrous" said Prof. Paul S. Reinsch,
head Of the department Of political sci
encc and world politics at the University
Of Wisconsin. in an interview regarding
the Bulgarian situation today
Sees European War.
'@The Balkan crisis so suddenly precipi-
tated upon the world reveals the I'M
stable conditions i'll that part Of the
east. Should war arise il will be dif-
hcult to confine it TO the small Balkan
states and to Turkey, because of the in
dignatiOn Of the Servians against Aus
trit brought on by the formal annexa-
ton by the latter Of Bosnia and Her
ZegOVina.
Then, too, the people Of the remain
ing European provinces Of Turkey are
very apt to use this opportunity for
stirring up further trouble. 1t would be
difficult to imagine Il more dangerous
situation in that part of the world than
that so suddenly brought on by the ac-
ton Of Bulgaria and Austria. The eff
feet on the new constitutional regime
Of Turkey can hardly fail to be disas-
trOus. 4 war would strengthen the re-
dictionaries and the definitiye loss of the
dependencies involved would weaken the

Russia VS.. Germany.
The direct relations Of such powers as
Germany and Russia to the trouble can
not be known at present, with accuracy.
Russia would, however, undoubtedly ex-
act some compromising advantage to her
self should Austria be successful.
Moreover, Russian influence is SUI
preme in Bulgaria. Germany, on the
other hand, is tied to both Austria and
Turkey by the logic Of her diplomacy.
undoubtedly look to these two powers

 full thought the primary instigator of sin
 and crime. Fearsome thought, as well as
 sinful thought, is thought directed in a
 wrong channel; but Christian Science
 shows how divine mind can direct
 thought alright and heal both sickness
 and sln.''
 MT. Edward A. Kfmball c. s. D., in a
 lecture delivered at Albert Hall, in Lon
 don, last spring, entitled, Christian Sci-
 ence; Its Advantage to Mankind" had
 this to say in regard to the power of
 thought: Hast fall the S5,O00,o00 of peo-
 pie in the United States were possessed
 of s10000 900 worth of the products of the
 soil and billions of dollars worth of>man-
 ufactured goods ready for sale at good
 prices The people were energetic, re-
 sourceful, thrifty and ingenious. The
 government possessed nearly one piilion dollars in actual money; the banks were sound. the people were employed. wages were good and commercial prosperity was general.
 Suddenly something happened. The thing that happened was not sent by God, nor was 1t induced by truth or science, or any normal animus. NThe thing that happened was this: Nearly every man Jumped up and said, T am afraid Then began the rad on the DduhS, SOillc iioii became frantic, some sick, some died and some committed suicide. Now that the panic has come and gone, this people whom thought has so wretchedly misled say it was all unnecessary, all needless, that 1t ought not to have been or to have prevailed. Does any one here who now reviews this concrete exhibition of wide spread disorder, caused by one perverting thought of fear, fail to learn that this Is what is the matter with this race, or to learn what is the remedy"

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Beauty and Utility.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Heartily in accord with the expressed ideas of Mayor Ward in regard to mak- ing Birmingham a beautiful city. and CO., operating in spirit with others who have made public their respective suggestions pertaining to that end, I am pleased to submit through The Age-Herald sug- gestion of my own which I think very practical and worthy of consideration All will agree as to the needs of putting out shade trees, not only as necessary for beauty but also for comfort and health. This being granted, why not select such trees as are of quick growth, great beauty, of long life, hardy. and valuable in yield of a fruitful product, such as put out early in spring and shed their foliage early in fall, retaining no scared leaves through the winter, as do many varieties of oak and other trees used for shade and decorative purposes. Such tree as this is the pecan tree, and in evidence Of the value of this tree I will state that a 8-year-old scion will, when put out and properly cared for, grow to height of 30 feet and present 20 feet spread of foliage eight years after setting out, and will at that age yield two bushels of nuts per tree, and will, each additional year, increase both in growth and productive ness.
 As there are now about two thousand p1atted squares within the city proper. I will suggest that IS pecan trees be set out on each square. This would give 3D. 900 trees, ideal for beauty and shade, ca- pable of living from one to 300 years, and while these young trees would begin to bear fruit in two to four years after planting. I will only figure their value vf product at the age of 10 years, as follows: Thirty-two thousand trees producing two bushels per tree, equals 64,0o0 bushels. weighing 45 pounds per bushel and worth 20 cents per pound. equals $576,o00. These same trees would, when 20 years old, be capable of yielding 900 pounds of nuts (2o bushels per tree) worth, at 20 cents a pound. $1S0 each, making grand total value for product of 32,0O0 trees of $5,76O, 600 per year.
 These figures are based upon actual yields, proven by experience, and are con seyvative so far as yield of nuts per tree is concerned. Then again ask why not plant pecan trees so that every boy anC girl can have all the pecan nuts they want to eat without waiti lg for santa Claus O. T. DOZTER.

SENATOR NELSON FAVORS
BANK DEPOSIT INSURANCE
PLAN.

Ia letter to Vico President
Vanderlip Of the City Nationl Bank
of New York, Senator Knute Nelson,
after reviewing banking conditions,
advocates system of insurance of
bank deposits, the plan embossed BY
Mr.. Bryan and many prominent men
in both parties. Senator Nelson says
'The report of the controller of
the currency for 1907 on page ~ shows
that, taking the record of all banks
since the national banking system
was established with all the banks
that have failed snds the loss Is to
depositors, the average of loss to
depositors, as compared with tho total
amount IF individual deposits, has not
exceeded i've hundredths of per cent.
A fund, say, of seven or eight
hundredths-or at the very highest
ten hundredths-of I per cent would
be ample to protect depositors and if
the banks we're to contribute to sach
a fluid and keep it with the treas ary
department as trustee, the same as
the redemption fund in respect to the
bills, the depositors would ba amply
protected and the depositors could be
paid in the first Instance out of this
fund, and then the government
would recoup from the general assets
and the stockholders liability Of the
failed bank, making the government
to that extent q preferred creditor.
In short. I am firmly convinced
that the most complete and permanent
cure for the financial difficulties
would be system of legislation to
protect dep. sitors ard make them feel
as safe as to their deposits as the
bill-holders feel about national bank
notes This would keep all the money
of the country in the banks and
through them in the channels of
commerce and trade, and there would
be no boarding, as there has always
been and always will be in times Of
panic under the present system.

as Quattrocchi went under the car and
waited for the death that came to her
In another instant.
The father of the slain family was
street car conductor. He lived In a
cottage In the suburb Of Sampierdare
ma. Part Of the cottage was sub1et by
Bianchi to Quattrocchi and his wife,
There was a quarrel about the rent.
Bianchi went to the rooms of Quat-
trocchi before he started for work to
ask for the rent. He supposed the
trouble was all over. As he knocked
the door was flung open and the. won
an sprang upon him with knife.
Quattrocchi followed behind his wife,
and the pair drove Bianchi to the4
kitchen Of his apartment By that
time he had been cut many times and
was on the floor unconscious. Mrs. |

ged Mrs. Bianchi aside and drove the
knife into her and the infant many
times. Mother and child fell dead on
the floor.
The Quattrocchis hacked at the
bodies until they had cut them to
pieces. Then they remembered there
were three other children, all of them
under nine years. 1t was deemed nee
essary to kill the children and still
their tongues. The three little ones
were found huddled under one Of the
beds. They shrieked when they saw
the murderers Of their parents peering
under the bed, and one by one they
were dragged out and butchered. The
knives of the Quattrocchis were driven
into the children's bodies time and
again. The sight Of blood seemed to
madden the pair all the more until
they had killed the whole Bianchi fam
lily. Then the pair ran into the street
with blood on their hands and CLOTH
ing. Neighbors saw them and ran
into the Bianchi cottage. Discovering
the six bodies, the people became infu-.
rated and started in pursuit of Quat-
rocchi and his wife. The crowd in
creased as the leaders cried the warm
ing that the fleeing pair were murder
ers.
They were overtaken, and the WON
an had carving knife in her pocket
covered with blood. She admitted she
had killed the family with her bus:
bands help. He blamed 1t all on her:
The railroad men on hearing one Of
their number had been murdered sug-
gested death under trolley car for
the Quattrocchis. 1t was carried out
almost as soon as suggested. The
motorman selected to run his car over
the murderers was delighted and
laughed merrily as the lives went out,
one after the other, and only mangled
bodies lay in the street. The crowd
cheered nightly as they kicked the
bodies and laughed. The authorities
sent the bodies to the morgue and
made no arrests.

year, the Anti pass law which had
been passed, forces his company to
cut out all phones in residences Of
the city officials. which in tho past
were IN use free of charge, unless
they were paid for, the same as other

in use, one at the residence of the

and ordered that an order for 80. rs
be drawn to pay for them. Mr..
Hostetter also stated that there were
three other phones which ware in the
Office of city officials used free of
charge.
The application of Frank Kozaa
to have the city place his three
children In st. Otto 8 Orpbanage at its
expense, after due consideration, was
rejected by TIE city coucll, It being
tho opinion that the beard and lodg.
ipg at that institution was so reason
anle that the father could afford to
paw for his children himself.
The application of John Stewart,
who has been furnished board and
lodging by the city, also received
medical treatment by city physician,
for special help, was rejected, it being
the councils opinion that the city
was already doing as much as it could
