General Amnesty Proclaimed.

' New York, July 30.-The Sultan of Fur kev through the Turkish consul general in this city, today proclaimed general amnesty to all political fugitives regard less of race, in this country. This re- lates to about 100000 Armenans and others in the United States.
 The message received by the Turkish consul general from the Turkish govern ment was as follows:
 Uniform all fugitive Turkish citizens in New York city and in all the United States. including political fugitives, with out regard to race or nationality, whether Greek, Armenians, Turkish, Albanians. everything, that after promulgation of A constitution for the Turkish empire his majesty, the Sultan, on request of the government has granted general amnesty and all political fugitives may go back to Turkey after having the necessary passports verified at the office of the Turkish consul general at 59 Pearl street, New York"
 The reading of the announcement to a number of his countrymen by the con sul was greeted with cheers Munji Bey said:
 T regard it as the most important step forward that has yet been taken in so far as it relates to Turkish subjects in the United States There are some 400, ,000 Turkish citizens in this country and more than 100000 of these are political fugi- tives. The Armenian and the Greek Turk all natives of one country can now feel that they are welcome in the land of their birth. This is a great day for Turkey and the Turkish people,"

sistant secretary of the navy who in 1898 was responsible for the United States government devoting $50,000 for the purpose of paying the expenses of the experiments which were conducted by Prof. Langley on the Potomac river near Washington. It may devolve upon Theodore Roosevelt as President of the United States to, make it possl- ble for the further experiments with the Langley aeroplane.
 Today, five years after Prof. Langley launched his aeroplane Morel it is recognized that his mach inc embodies principles not fully understood by the machine building aeronauts of today
 The Langley aeroplane, the one which was damaged on the launching ways of the Langley house boat, has been repaired and is evidently in first -cla ss condition.
 Prof. Langley was so disheartened by the criticism and comment which followed his disappointing experiments that he never undertook further eN periments with the ill-fated machine. It was locked up in the carpenter shop back of the Smithsonian institution, where it has remained ever since. l. had been shown to several leading scientists and aeronautical experiment ters, but yesterday was the first time 1t was ever viewed by newspaper men at close range.
 The airship will be placed on exhi- bition as soon as room can be found for it. Neither frame. the wings or the motor. which is considered to be unique in many ways. have been patented. That further experiments with the ma chine would be of value to the thous- ands who are deVoting their efforts to solving the problems of aerial naviga- tion is the belief of prominent scien- lists, and an effort will be made to have the machine used by the signal corps of the army for experimental pur- poses.

Riga Pasha, the artillery ist who played an important role in the Turko-G Greek war has been appointed grand master of ordnance. in succession to Zekki Pasha, and Hakki Bey, legal adviser to the foreign office, has been given the portfolio of minister of educa- tion.
 These appointments are considered ex- cellent, but the expected trades making the more important changes, still hang fire.
 The release of ordinary criminals from the prison in Stamboul today produced an exceedingly bad impression and dis quietude.
 The revolutionary committee has tele- graphed protest to Rome against the Italian embassy's aiding Seim Pasha in making his escape and demanding that Foreign Minister Tittoni shall recall the Italian ambassador.

EXPERIMENTS TO BE MADE

Washington, July 30.-There is the echo of a emi-tragic chapter in bal looming in the tests of aerial craft to be begun at Fort Myer by the govern ment next week. The universal inter est which these tests have aroused has resulted in the withdrawal of the veil of secrecy which has been maintained by the officials of the Smithsonian in stitution in connection with the aero- plane built by the late Prof. Langley.
 If the Wright brothers and A. M Harrington should not succeed in carry ing out their contracts with the gov ernment, it Is not at all unlikely that we will bring out the old Langley ma chine for the purpose of conducting ex- periments," said Gen. James Allen, chief signal officer of the army, today. Dr. Smithsonian institution which has the custody of the Langley aeroplane, the "Buzzard.' has a different opinion with regard to using the machine for any further investigations.
 "It is a relic and should be pre- served as such along with the others produced by Prof. Langley, the pioneer of mechanical flight" he said. It is said that the machine is the joint property of the army and the Smiths sonion institution.
 Twenty years or more ago Prof. Langley, a leading scientist, began ex- periments at Pittsburg in an effort to master the problem of aerial naviga- tion. This man, who was honored by leading scientific bodies of France, England and other countries, was laughed at. He was criticised by the newspapers at that time and scientists themselves were skeptical.
 It was William Thaw, the Pittsburg millionaire and father of Harry k, Thaw who made it possible for Prof Langley to carry out his experiments experiments which gave to the world the knowledge upon which the aero nauts of the present day base their mo chanicisms.t

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Publicity of County Funds.

To the Editor of The Age Herald.
 wish to congratulate you on your able, timely and pronounced editorial oil the propriety policy and moral neces- sity of a public and itemized stater ment of the amount of money collected. expended and refunded by the chair man of the county democratic execuF tive committee in the primary election held on May IS. 1908.
 The article has the glow of civic courage and a high sense of righteous ness in the conduct of public affairs and the transaction of political business. It Is a ringing call for clear conscfen- tious and straightforward business methods in the management of our democratic primary elections. Primary elections in this part of the country are peculiarly the business of the peo- pie as a whole, and should be above suspicion of graft and crook edness. Straightforwardness on the part of our party committees will tend to be- get, to deserve and to hold confidence. Prompt and public statements of money received and paid out will eliminate the suspicion of graft and place the party organization above reproach in the public mind. It is good business policy and will build up the democratjc party and foster public morality.
 It is decidedly more than two months since the county democratic primary and still no report Is rendered of their stewardship by the campaign managers. The city democratic executive commit tee, through it's treasurer MT. B, H. Mooney, publishes an itemized state ment of the cash of the city primary within three days after the election. This is an example of sound politics. good business and political integrity worthy of imitation s@k e. county dem ocratic auth critics. lese public state ments afford an opportunity to the rank and file of the party to criticize unwise and unnecessary expense in the conduct of elections, Graft Is the bane of American institutions and an ex- pensive primary invites and fosters graft The fall of the Roman empire was initiated by the use of monoy under the forms of elections Unless we have the moral courage and virtue to eliminate the use of money in cleo tions our great country will follow the brilliant career of the mistress of the world to disintegration and ruin. Our only salvation is the revolt of the pub-

HAZEL DREW CASE
 STILL \ MYSTERY Ceroner's Inquest Brings Out
 Nothing New RELATIVES ON THE STAND Testimony of Closing Session of h. quest Reveals No Clue That Would Lead to Cause of Death, Which
 May Remain UnsoIved.
ON THE STAND

Troy, N. Y., July 30.-The closing ses- sion of the inquest into the death of Hazel Drew took place this afternoon in a stuffy little room in the courthouse. Many witnesses were summoned, but all were not heard. The comings and goings of the young woman from the day she re- signed her position in Prof. E. E. Cary's home on July 6, until her bruised and lifeless body was found in Teals pond on July Il, were related with meagre in- cidents. A touch of the pathetic might have been expected when the mother of Hazel, Mrs. John Drew, garbed in heavy mourning, identified the clothing in which the girl went to her death But it was not forthcoming, for the girls mother smiled now and then as she curiously turned over the various articles of wear ing apparel and recognized them as hav- ing been worn by her daughter when alive. Her story was like that she had already told, colorless and barren of de- tail.
 Then the coroner summoned the father of Hazel Drew, John Drew who halting- ly told the little he knew of his child's habits and associates. Minnie TayIor, the aunt of the dead girl, who has been source of much perplexity to District At torney OBrien. was sharply cross-exam- ined by him. She smiled pleasantly throughout the ordeal. except the few moments when she handled the garments of the dead girl. Then she looked as though she might break down and sob. When the district attorney pressed her for an answer as to whether Hazel was ever annoyed or followed in the street by men, she replied she could not remember any such incident. She added, however, that such occurrences were common and that she had been followed by men at night in the street
 The next witness was Henry E. Kra- moth, real estate dealer of Albany, said to be wealthy and owner of a camp in the Grafton mountains in the vicinity of Tears pond. It has been alleged that the camp was the scene of improper conduct, and statements have been published in
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-07-31

certain papers. 1t is said, derogatory of it. MT. Kramoth indignantly denied that there was any ground for such accusa- tions, and described with much detail his whereabouts on June and T. He asserted that he never knew Hazel Drew.
 Carrie Weaver, the Ohio girl, Hazel Drew's chum, did not arrive in time to give her testimony. Then the inquest into the Teal pond tragedy closed.
 The coroner will make public his find ing tomorrow which, it is believed, will be the stereotyped announcement that the girl came to her death at the hands pf a person or persons unknown.

Washington, July 30.-American Ambas- sador Leishman, at Constantlnople, in dispatch to the state department touch- ing recent events in Turkey and the proclamation of a constitution says
 '.The change has been brought about with comparatively little bloodshed al- thought it Is too early to determine that the new machinery of the government will run without conflict or disturbance.
 'The constitution is limited 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 entourage displaceh"
