REFORM MAY HARM
SULTAN'S DOMAIN

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
WASHINGTON, Aug 1S.-Mehmid
All Bey, the deposed Turkish minister
today consented to an interview for
the first time since he was separated
from his job.
He denied that he had been fright
ened by the anonymous letters threat
ening his assassination, and ascribed
his seclusion in the ex-legation
building entirely to illness. One
of his reasons for remaining in WASH
ington is to hear from his father Izzet
Pasha, as 10 whose whereabouts he
is not informed The former diplomat
said he was not opposed to the reform
movement in Turkey

MINERS RACE
RIOT IMMINENT

KNOXVILLE. Tenn, Aug. 1S-As a
result Of the determination Of the Kings
Mountain Coal Company to work colored
men in the same mines with white men.
race war is imminent in the mining re-
gion adjacent TO Jellico, Tenn.
Seventy colored men, heavily armed
are barricaded in commissary. which
Is surrounded by between $50 and 400
white men. and an attack is expected
at any moment. Sheriff Huddleston, of
Campbell county. reached the scene last
night and summoned every available cit
izen to protect the colored men.
The sheriff gathered one hundred armed
men and entered the commissary build
ing with the colored men. There is con-
slant firing among the hills around the
camp. but no direct attack on the sher-
iffs party has been made. The latter.
fortified as It is, is strong enough to
repulse an attack by a party several
times its strength.
Colored men are arriving at Jellico and
other towns in a state OF terror While
no killing have been reported It is pos
sible that colored men may have been
slain in the mountains.
The trouble which has been brewing
for several months broke out Saturday
when $50 white miners went to the Kings
Mountain mine and drove twelve colored
families from there. They marched them
all day Saturday. allowing the women
and children to camp and eat what food
they carried with them. but forced tho
men to keep moving.

MAY EXTEND
LIGHT CONTRACT

In all probability the extended con-
tracts for the city gas and electric
lighting viii be extended until the first
Of next year. The contracts will ex-
pire on September 1 and the Street
and Sewer Directors, it is expected,
win decide to further extend them at
their next meeting on August 25.
The contracts have been extended
several times. When bids were opened
for new contracts about six months
ago, only the present contractors, the
American Street Lighting Company and
the Wilmington City Electric Company
presented bids. In view of the lack Of
competition the bids were not opened
and the contracts extended. It was
complained generally by contractors
who did not bid that the specifications
were such as IN prohibit them.
In view of this it was thought that
the directors would change the specif-
cations materially in order to present
a more favorable field to gas and cleo
trio lighting companies Nothing Ia
this direction has been done by the
directors, however, ard they see no
more promise Of keener bidding than
that evident when the present con-
tracts were last extended.
1t is indeed a question whether the
American Street Lighting Company, a
Baltimore corporation, will bid again
when bids for new contracts for gas
lighting win be received. This COM
pany recently made a very advantag-
eous proposition TO the Street and
Sewer Directors, whereby the city was
TO pay a slight advance in the gas
lighting rate so that the company could
afford to make very extensive improve
ments in the gas lighting system here.
The proposition was favored by the di-
rectors, but owing TO their meagre ap-
preparation, and as City Council did
not favor any proposition whereby the
directors could be advanced money for
the purpose, the offer had to be re-
jected.
When the company made the offer,
il was explained that it was merely
its purpose to do away with antiquated
features OF the present was lighting
system here as much for its own bene-
fit as for the city's. In a word, the
company. sought to be enabled to so
improve its system here that IL would
serve as a demonstration of its very
best service and the advance it asked
was merely enough TO cover in part the
additional expense. Now that the city
has been obliged TO reject the offer, il
is not improbable that the company
will withdraw from the local field when
its contract finally expires

SAYS TAFT SHOULD
RIDE ELEPHANT

BOSTON. Aug. 1s.-If George T.
Angel, president of the Massachusetts
Society for the Prevention Of Cruelty
to Animals, has his way, Candidate
William H. Taft has taken his last
horseback ride
1T Is outrageous cruelty to aninalH-''
said Mr. Angel tonight. for a big
oO0-pound man like Taft TO ride a
horse about the country.
1t ought to be stopped at once. No
teamster or anyone who knows anv-
thing about animals would think OF
loading a horse down.
Il do not doubt the stories sent out
from Hot Springs that the horses legs
have been wrenched and strained.
something should Certainly be done
about it. No man Weighing 800 pounds
has any business on horses back. If
he must ride, let him use an automo-
bile or an elephant.
I have read these dispatches con-
eerning Tafts riding abilities and nv
heart goes out to the horse. ii Is
cruelty TO dumb animals IN an arvra-
Yated form No wonder his frienda
exclaimed: How about the horses p
That same question was in my mind
at that time. Not only must the limbs
or the horses he rode have been strain-
ed, but their entire system must have
endured a severe wrenching. I cannot
say just the weight a faithful horse
should carry, but I do say that an ele-
phant Is the only animal living to-day
capaple OF carrying a man of Tafts
stature"

John Hudson, who sustained broken
back in fall while he was at work
August 4 in an ice plant at Salisbury,
Nd. died at the Homeopathic Hospital
last evening at o'clock. The mans case
was one of the most remarkable that has
come under the attention Of local physi-
clans and his development had been

was engaged in working on an ice plant
when he slipped and fell a distance Of
about 20 feet, landing on his back on a
cake Of ice. He was hurried TO this city
and an operation was performed on his
spine The operation was so successful
that it was thought the man would re-
cover.
Hudson's backbone was broken at a
point between the shoulders. The spinal
cord was also lacerated. The lower part
OF his body became psralyzed but the
han stil retained ~ senses and dis.
played remarkable vitality.
Up to within a day ago he appeared to
be improving and the medical men who
were watchiItg his case with the deepest
interest hoped to be able to report that
the man had recovered. recovery that
would have been heralded through the
medical world. But a day or so ago Hud-
son showed signs Of decline and though
everything was done that was possible he
became rapidly weaker and lapsed into a
comatose state. From this he did not rally
and it was in that condition that he died.
He is survived by a wife and child.
