ROOSEVELT TO
HE TO WOODS
MOMBASA DISAPPOINTED AT
CHANGE Of PLANS
Monsoon Blows Vigorously and Small
pox Has Broken Out at Nairobi
and Forty Cases Are
Fatal
tBy Associated Press.l

MOMBASA, April 14.-A cablegram
received here today from Theodore
Roosevelt declining an invitation to at
tend a public reception and dinner
makes 1t evident that he has decided
not to stop in Mombasa. There Is
much disappointment here.
Mr.. Roosevelt asks in this message
that he be met at the pier by his special
train and conveyed direct to the ranch
of Sir Alfred Pease on the Anthi river
where he will be Sir Alfred's guest fol-
the first fortnight of his stay in the
protectorate.
The steamer Admiral is expected here
April 21.
At present the monsoon is blowing
vigorously. There has been sudden
outbreak of smallpox at Nairobi
Forty deaths have occurred in the
quarantine camp, and three cases are
reported from Juja ranch, the property
of George Mcmillan, who will be Mr..
Roosevelt's host during a portion of his
stay in this section.
Maj J. l.. Seamon returned from a
hunting trip up country. He says game
is excellent and prospects good.
Major Seamon is about to leave Ugan-
da on an elephant hunting expedition.
Three lions have been interfering with
the night work at the Makindu station
on the railroads.
1t is believed the plans of the Roose-
velt party contemplate Kermit Roose-
velt passing one night at this station.
The localtpolice authorities have TAX
en- measures to strengthen some of the
out-stations on the northern boundary
of Kenya province, where the inhabi-
tants of the wilderness country north
of the protectorate have been showing
signs of unrest.
A number of continental business
firms have forwarded various presents,
including champagne, ammunition,
books, etc., to Mr.. Roosevelt here.

FORMAL REQUEST MADE FOR
RESIGNATION OF LIBRARIAN
Incumbent Astounded When Informed
of Actian Taken by Library
Board In Chicago

CHICAGO, April IA formal re-
quest by the public library board has
been made upon Frederick II. HID to
resign from the position of librarian OF
the Chicago public library
The action was taken following the
annual executive session. Members of
the board said change of administra-
ton was sought because the conclu-
sion had been reached that conditions
at the library are not up to standard,
and that with respect to this public
institution Chicago suffered when COM
pared with other cities.
Librarian Hid declares the position
of the library board astounded him. He
said that relations between him and
various members were cordial, and he
had not the slightest notion that his
services were not in every way accept
able until he received the sudden re-
quest to quit. 1t is not known what
action he will take.
Mr.. Hid has been librarian since 1887,
having succeeded DIR. William f. Poole
in that position.

REVOLUTIONISTS
WIN VICTORY IN
CONSTANTINOPLE
NEW CABINET FORMED AND
PEACE SEEMS NEAR
MuTINY OF SOLDIERS LEADS TO
MANY CHANGES
Tewfik Pasha Becomes Grand Vizier
and Minister of War Is Ap-
pointed in Accordance
with Demands

NONSTANTINOPLE April 14.-After
the stirring events of yesterday
~ and the early part of today in
Constantinople the successful forma-
ton of the cabinet and the issuance of
an imperial proclamation ordaining the
observance of the Sheri laws and the
preservation of the constitution served
to bring about a comparatively peace
full situation here tonight.
The new cabinet, of which Tewfik
Pasha is grand vizier, has been in
stalled.
The formation of the cabinet has
greatly relieved the tension. Most of
the people passed a sleepless night,
owing to the continuous discharge of
muSketry.
Tonight the city is quiet; the troops
have returned to their barracks and
the crowds in the Stamboul quarter
have retired to their homes.
Confidence is gradually returning,
although the military situation will re-
quire all the energies of the new gov
ernment for its successful handling
and the PRONUNCIATION of wise meas
ures SO that the army may be placed
on a more satisfactory basis.
Fortunately, the new minister of
war, Edhm PaSha, is generally re-
spected and trusted, and it is believed
he will restore ORDER
Soldiers Led Revolt
1t is noteworthy that while the revo-
luton of last July was the work of
officers, the present movement was
carried forward by the soldiers, aided
by the religious party. The rising has
resulted in the complete obliteration of
the committee of union and progress.
while many deputies representing the
committee group have resigned or re-
main in their homes.
During the whole thrilling episode
the salient feature of the revolution
was the loyalty of the troops and the
people to the sultan, whose name was
frequently acclaimed, and the absence
of attacks on the lives and property of
citizens.
| The new cabinet discussed the situa-
tion tonight. The grand vizier and the
| sheik ul islam arrived at the porte in
state and were cheered by an immense
crowd.
The precincts of the porte wero
crowded in every part and the hall
where the ministry was installed was
| packed to overflowing.
| An imperial order was issued ap-
pointing Tewfik Pasha grand vizier
and confirming Zia Eddin Effendi as
Sheik Ulshrdl shrdlu pu pu pu pupu
sheik ul islam.
1t also ordained the strict observ-
ance of the sheri laws and the preser-
walton of the constitution "for the
maintenance Of the security and prog
ress of the government and country
and the welfare of all my people"
The sultan adds that the observance
of the instructions laid down in the or
der is of the utmost Importance and
concludes by invoking divine assist
ance on the efforts of the grand vizier
and cabinet, which is composed of ele-
ments outside of parliamentary par
ties, and which generally is considered
as transitory and likely to lead event
ually to the return of the former grand
vizier, Kiamil Pasha, and the former
war minister, Nazim Pasha, two of the
most popular men in Turkey.

RECEIVES SERIOUS INJURY
IN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT
Futile Attempt Is Made by Driver to
Cross Track Ahead
of Train

SAN DIEGO. April 14.-Two persons
were seriously injured, one fatally, it
is thought, this morning when a tour
ing car containing w. e. Worden. a
local business man, his wife, three chill
dren and Amasa Inscho, horticul-
turist, was run down by the National
City. & Otay "dinkey" train on the
National City line. Worden, who was
driving and approaching the crossing,
did not hear the train until it was close
upon him.
Thinking he could not stop the auto
mobile, he threw on the high speed IN
an effort to cross the tracks ahead of
the train. The engine struck the tom
neau, dragging the car several rods and
dumping it into a 10-foot sink hole be-
side the track.
Mrs. Worden was seriously injured
about the body and Inscho sustained
injuries to his back and legs and may
die.
Worden and the three little children
escaped unhurt.

an opportunity yesterday to appear pc
fore the special grand jury and refute,
if nossible. the testimony given by NICK

is understood, verified the stories ol
graft told by him to Edwin i. EAR,
and which were repeated py tne iae.er 49,.

attention to the invitation sent them
through their attorney, II. II. Appei.
Twelve persons were berore tne sIdIe
Jury yesterday, the major portion OF
fhe time being occupied in connecting
I'D the threads of testimony already m
troduced. Those who responded TO SUD
noenas were A. Kaeuffer, North Ala
media street druggist; Pierre Lamperes'
William L. Fetter Nick oswald, lhoil-
as Broadhead, Sumner j. Qulnt, ponce
surgeon and his assistant, Dr. Charies

r. v. Miner, secretary of the Security
Land and Loan company; A. h: MORO,
jeweler; A. w. Marsh, detective, ana
BENJAMIN Levy, an employe OF the Far
mers' National bank.
Investigation Takes New Line
Judging from the presence of several
of these witnesses 1t is surmlseo the
investigation has entered upon new
lines, and that an inquiry into the
methods pursued by a local insurance
company, many of the policy holders In
which are said to be found in the police
and other departments of the city, 1s
being made This inquiry probably Will
carry the sessions of the jury into the
coming week and delay the final report
which, it was confidently predicted,
would be made to Judge James this
week.
oswald was in the jury room only a
short time yesterday, but remained at
the district attorneys office throughout
tff8Stiay. Former Chief Broedhead was
in the secret chamber three minutes,
refusing, 1t is said, to make reply to
any of the questions pronounced to MIN.
A. w. Marsh, who is known to be en-
ployed in the interests of Harper and
Kern, and who has frequently expressed
a desire to appear before the grand
jury, was called into the jury room
from his seat in the corridor without
the formality of a subpoena being
served upon him. He was IN the cnam-
ber only seven minutes.
No predictions in regard to the time
when indictments may be returned were
made yesterday, everything apparently
depending upon the corroboration OF
testimony already given. The jury will
resume its work today.

CONVICTION OF
LOUIS GLASS IS
DECLARED VOID
FORMER TELEPHONE MAGNATE
GETS NEW TRIAL
WAS FOUND GUILTY OF BRIBERY
OF SUPERVISOR
District Court of Appeals at San Franz
cisco Gives Two Reasons for
Granting Second
Hearing

~ AN FRANCISCO, April 14.-By a
decision of the district court OF
~ appeals handed down today, the
conviction of Louis Glass, former vice
president and general manager of the
Pacific States Telephone company
found guilty of having offered bribe
to Supervisor Thomas f. Lonergan, to
influence his vote in the matter OF
granting a franchise to the Home Tele-
phone company, is reversed and a new
trial ordered.
The reversal is based upon two
points:
First. the admission into evidence of
matters pertaining to certain transac-
tions in relation to the Home Telephone
company franchise in Oakland, held by
the circuit court judges to be 1rrele-
want.
Second, that Trial Judge William P.
Lawlor refused to instruct the jury, as
requested by the defense, not to allow
the refusal of E. J. thinner, an official
of the Pacific States Telephone com
pany. to testify, to influence their
minds, nor to view his refusal as an in
dication that he was Withholding evil
dence which might incriminate the de-
fendant.
Sustains Indictment
The appellate justices sustain the in
dictment under which Glass was tried,
though in an exhaustive discussion OF
it's text they declare it to be mot a
model" while sufficient for its pur-
pose.
The verdict against Glass was
brought in August, 1907, and Septem-
ber 5, 1907, he was sentenced by Judge
Lawlor to serve five years in the state
penitentiary. The health of the pris-
oner was very poor and he was lib
Grated on bail on that account, pend
ing the result of his appeal.
The first case against Glass resulted
In a mistrial and his conviction fol-
lowed the second trial.
Since the inception of the bribery
graft in this city two and half years
ago, four convictions have been OBJ
tanned. those of Eugene e. Schmitz.
former mayor of the city: M. w. Cof-
fey, former supervisor; Abraham
Ruef, former political boss, and that of
Glass, the only one of the several COR
poration officials indicted to be found
guilty.
With the reversal of the Glass con-
viction there remain but those of Ruef
and Coffey to be acted upon by the
appellate court, the Schmitz case hav-
ing been thrown out by that body
many months ago on the ground that
the Indictment was invalid.
Since the conviction of Glass, Loner-
gan, the man he was charged with
having bribed, has died, broken in
health and crushed in spirit by the
disgrace attached to his name.
