SULTAN REPORTED
STABBED IN BACK
BY YOUNG TURK
NEWS OF ATTACK CREATES
ALARM, AS ITS TRUTH WOULD
MEAN ATTEMPT OF COMPLETE
REvOLU CONFIRMED.

LONDON, Aug. "a private dis
patch received here this morning stat
ed that the sultan OF Turkey was
stabbed by q minor palace official who
had been bribed by the leaders of the
Young Turkey movement. IL was de-
tailed how the would-be assassin drove
his dagger at the heart OF the sultan,
but the point OF the blade was defect
ed by the coat OF mail which the ruler
wore beneath his clothing.
A later dispatch from the same
source, stated that the attempt 10 XIII
the sultan was made from the rear
and that the man who made the attack
actually succeeded in driving his short
bladed dagger to the hilt. seriously
wounding the sultan.
Both messages purported TO come
from a leader Of the young Turkey
movement. who is now in Geneva.
The messages created no end OF
alarm, for 1t was predicted that an
attempt al complete revolution OF gov
eminent in Turkey would follow. AS
no confirmation OF either message has
thus far been obtained the belief pre-
walls that the rumors were inspired
by young Turks, whose object Is 10
keep the revolution pot boiling.

WALKER ATTEMPTS
To D NE BARGAIN
FOR | bERTY
BANK OFFICIAL WHO A5SCONDED
AND WAS LATER SENTENCED
TO PRISON. WOULD REFUND
HIS STOLEN HOLDINGS.

NEW YORK. Aug. Sit Is believed
that VIM F. Walker, absconding Off
cial of the Savings Bark OF New Brit
ain, who is serving jail sentence for
embezzling more than half million
dollars will purchase his liberty by re-
funding large portion OF his steal
ings.
II will be recalled that after
Walkers flight to Mexico the. arrest
OF Charles Gondorf and others in this
city was believed to have broken up
he Vaccinations of band OF expert
wiretappers than had been engaged in
extensive swindling operations and
was known TO the police as the wire
tappers trust"
II was said, and was generally be-
lieved by detectives who had worked
on the Walker ENLIGHTENMENT, that this
band had been the ultimate benefi-
securities stolen by Walker. though
IL has never been definitely cleared up
whether its members obtained from
him substantially the whole of his
bank loot or only large part Of 1t.
1t is now said to be definitely known
that Walker has knowledge of the
present whereabouts OF something
like 100000 Of the stolen securities.
and he is we'll aware that he is the
only person through whom the bank
has any chance OF recovering this
property or any considerable part OF
it. As II Is all In listed Securities.
most OF which are high class railroad
bonds. these cannot be easily disposed
OF without risking exposure He is
understood TO be willing 10 give most
OF this back, retaining competence
for himself.
Efforts have been made to persuade
Walker TO testify against Gondorf
who is now awaiting trial. but he has
steadfastly refused thus far all over
lures tending in that direction. The
reason for his refusal has now appear
ed. for he believes he holds the cards
In his own hands and that by playing
them skilfully he can become free
man again after little more than
year.

NEW WARRANTS IN
POLICE SCANDAL
UNLIKELY
ANNIE SMITHS STORY THAT
BUSINESS MEN INDUCED HER
TO LEAVE CITY UNSUPPORTED
BEFORE JUSTICE JEFFRIEs.

There are no new developments, "
announced Justice Jeffries. Tuesday
afternoon, after grand jury session
lasting less than an hour, with Annie
Smith rs the only witness. Ii Is un-
derstood that Annie's testimony had
to do with the causes leading to her
fight from the city a month ago and
the alleged efforts OF certain parties
TO secure from her affidavits TO the eff
feet that she was promised immunity
by Justice Jeffries II she would testify
against Smith, Hibbler and Newber-
ry. Assistant Prosecutor Louis w.
McClear was present on behalf OF the
prosecuting attorney. while Matthew
Gainey acted as official stenographer.
From the attitude OF Justice Jeffries
and Mr.. McClear II was apparen, that
the session was rot productive OF any
great result 1t was admitted that,
as yet, Annie's declaration that four
business men induced her TO leave
the city. is unsupported. and unless
some corroborative evidence can be
secured, the investigation will nzzle
out. 4
Justice Jeffries and | are going to
hold conference Friday and will de.
eide then whether to go on with this
inquiry" said Mr.. McClear. In the
meantime the matter will rest"
Asked If Annie had told the same
story she told in the prosecutors Office
Immediately after her arrest a few
days ago, McClear replied:
Annie always tells the same story"
What are your intentions with re-
gard to Newberry and Hibbler?' was
asked.
we will not let them rest was
the emphatic reply. II believe they
are guilty and they will be prosecuted

HASKINS VS.. SHEPPARD
Expected to Compete for Intercolle'
giate and Cross. Country Record.

PHILADELPHIA. Pa. August 15.-If
the plans of athletic promoters material
ize, one of the greatest middle distance
races ever held in the world will be de-
cided the first week in September. Guy
Haskins, holder of the intercollegiate mile
and cross-country records, has agreed to
compete in a half-mile race against his
old rival, Melvin w. Sheppard, now
holder of the worlds records and Olympic
title for the 500 and / 800 meter events.
Sheppard Is still abroad. but the PROPOSE
ton has been cabled to him and ia
vorable reply is almost certain.
Sheppard was beaten twice by Haskins
last winter in indoor meets in this city.
and in the last race was disqualified for
foulng. Since then the relations between
these great runners have been somewhat
strained and Sheppard is anxious to meet
his rival. Sheppard is now In perfect
shape as shown by his wonderful double
victory in the Olympic games recently in
London and his scoring of the highest
number Of points in the meet. Strangely
enough, both men will be trained by Mike
Murphy.
In the event of the two men meeting
the smashing of the worlds half-mile
record which has been standing since
a foregone conclusion. Sheppard has been
running within one-ffth of a second of
1.a3 3-5. while Haskns is almost as good.
A number of other members of the Olym-
pic team will take part, including Rob-
bins of Boston, who was the actual win
ner of second place in the Olympic 400
meter race.
