Especial Dispatch TO The Call

SANTA BARBARA. May 3.-When
President Z. p. Ripley OF the Santa Fe

reversal of Judge Wellborn's decision
he said:
while the decision of the upper
court IS gratifying, IL is no surprise to
unable to see how Judge Wellborn's
decision could possibly be sustained.
Whether or not the railway company
was technically guilty of any offense
gument but the total lack Of incentive
tor violating the law and the prepos-
ferrous amount OF the fine made-it
rather a plain case.

Judge and have no doubt as to his hon
esty OF purpose, but his knowledge OF
railroad methods was limited, and he
quite failed to grasp the real situa-
ton"

AT EARLY DAWN
Summary Executions in Con-

Major Y0ussef and His Son Put
to Death on Scene OF
Crime

CONSTANTINOPLE, May 3.-Thir-

other men who killed the Syrian dep

of the parliament house, were executed
on the spot where they committed the
crime. Five others were hanged at the
entrance of the ministry of war and
three men at the STEAMBOAT end of the
Galata bridge.
BUSINESS GOES ON AS USUAL
At the breast of each criminal had
been pinned a large placard in Turk
lsh, setting forth the sentence of the
court. Around the foot of the gibbets
on the bridge the early morning buy
ing of fruits, flowers and vegetables
proceeded as usual, while the bodies
were in full sight of the great crowds
that made their way over the bridge
between Stamboul and Galata.
Major Youssef was commandant of
the First battalion of the Seventh reg
iment. Among the noncommissioned
ofhcers executed was Hamid Bin
Yechar, sergeant in the Fourth bat
talon of the Saloniki chasseurs. The
men executed on Galata bridge were
guilty of the murder of Lieutenant
Ellis.
PRINCIPAL RINGLEADERS
Major Youssef was the man who
after the murder of Deputy Arslan,
made his way to the house of parlia
ment and in speech denounced the
members for acting against the laws
of the Koran. Yechar was the man
who planned the details of the revolt
Of April 10, and who was commander
In chief and practically dictator of
Constantinople for the two days fol-
lowing. The other II men worked
under Yechar.

The bodies were left hanging until
this afternoon and were seen by at
