Population of ConstantinOple
Looks Upon Concession as

CONSTANTINOPLE, July 25.-The
momentous act of the sultan of Turkey
in proclaiming yesterday the restora-
ton Of the constitution Of 1875 has
left the population of Constantinople
unmoved. The aspect of the city is to-
day perfectly normal and there have
been no manifestations of satisfaction
Of any kind.
Tho stolid fatalism Of the Moslems,
who for centuries past have been &C
custOmed to a regime of personal rule
and who are not used to political free
dom. is thought partly to explain the
apathy everywhere apparent Added to
this is skepticism regarding the dura-
bility of the new era promised. Fur
thermore, past experience and the fact
that the sultan conceded to re- -estab-
lishment of the constitution under eX-
treme pressure inclines the Turks to
the belief that the concession is in
tended merely to surmount the present
troubles and avert the threatened dis
ruption of the empire and that the ear
nest opportunity will be taken again to
suspend the charter of liberty.
Should these suspicious prove ground
less the new system of government is
bound TO have a far reaching conse-
Quence with regard TO the treatment of
the Macedonian problem. It viii rem

BANKER SENTENCED
FOR$5OO,OOO THEFT
". F. Walker of New Britain
Pleads Guilty to Charge of
Stealing Bonds
Penalty Imposed by Court Will
Not Exceed Twenty Years
in Prison

HARTFORD, Conn, July 25.-W. F..
Walker, who looted the Savings Bank
of New Britain of more than half a mil
lion dollars worth of securities, pleaded
guilty on four counts of the indictment
in the superior court here today He
was sentenced to not less than one year
nor more than five years on the first
count. and not more than five years on
each of the three other counts.
Sentence is to take effect on the eX-
piration of each previous sentence un-
der the indeterninate sentence law.
This will make the entire penalty not
more than 20 years.
The four counts represented an en-
bezzlement of bank property amounting
to $4,000. The securities were mostly
high class railroad bonds. The original
indictment contained 13 counts apper-
tanning to bank funds and six addi-
tioral counts charging the embeZZle-
meht of the securities of the Connecti-
cut Baptist convention, amounting to
about $50, 900.
The indictment which was read, how
ever, made no allusion to nine counts
relating to bank property or to the
embeZZlements from the. Baptist con-
vention. AS the latter counts were not
mentioned in the writ of eXtradition
Walker could not be placed upon trial
for this crime. The court proceedings
occupied scarcely half an hour
Walker is understood to have made a
complete confession which embraces
the statement that sharpers in New
York, in whose hands he was at the
time, sent the dispatch in February,
1907, which made it appear that he had
been killed by the cars there.

Russian Papers Expect Little

ST. PETERSBURG. July 25.-The pa

ticular attention to the nationalistic
character Of the Young Turkey move
ment and express the opinion that out
little benefit viii accrue therefrom to
the Christian subjects of the sultan.
The Young Turkey plans for the inreg-
rity Of the empire. the writers say are
likely to prove a very serious obstacle
in the way OF Macedonian reform.
The Rech compares the Turkish trade
Of yesterday TO the Russian manifesto
Of 1905 with the inference that the sui
tan will avail himself of the first op-
portunity to curtai the promised re-
forms.
The Novoe Vremya praises the sui
tan for the rapidity with which he got

Decentralization of Minors
Intended for Slave Traffic

CORUNNA, Spain, July 25.-The en-
barkation at this port of a number of
young women on board the Spanish
steamship Isla de Paray prior to the
sailing of the vessel, nominally for
Teneriff. aroused the suspicious of the
local authorities and today an investi-
cation disclosed the fact that dozens
of young girls, mostly minors, were
slowed away on board the steamer.
The authorities forced all the young
women they found to disembark. Some
of the girls, it was learned, had been
bought from their parents, while others
had run away from home The most
plausible explanation of the occur
renee was that the girls were intended
for the white slave traffic.

He had since leaving visited several
cities in the west including Denver. In
his pocket the detectives found clip
ming from a Denver newspaper, giving
the calculations of a robber who had
stolen a large sum Of money and buried
it, The man had been sent to the peni-
tentiary for a number of years and IN
the story he figured out that by serving
a certain number Of years he would
upon his release have earned 100000

their belief that Savage has concealed
the stolen money hoping to regain 1t
when finally he is given hts freedom

A few days following the Kansas
City robbery Savage was arrested by
the local police. He paid a lawyer $500
TO defend him and he was released. the
judge holding there was not sufficient
evidence on which to hold the man.
Savage Immediately left the city and

yards away to a temporary building

mediately made his way back TO Kan
sas City. The robbery was not made
known for several days and it was sew

was found where il had been thrown
along the railway tracks. All tn,
