experienced in statecraft and affairs
Of the world. The malcontents Of the
empire have long had their eyes fixed
on Rechad as a possible successor to
his brother. This fact aroused the
jealousy of the sultan and was the
cause OF Mohammed Rechad's practical
captivity and surveillance.
Abdul Hamid conducted the empire
single handed for thirty-two years
Unlike other great despots. he ruled
without councillor and without a con-
fidant He worked eighteen hours a
day and was a virtual prisoner at his
desk He gave frequent proof OF
capacity for affairs that astounded oe-
cidental business men. Abdul Hamid
H. was the thirty-fourth sultan. He
was born in 1912 He was thirty-three
years OF age when he came to the
throne. He was elevated TO succeed
his elder brother. Amurath v. who was
removed at the outset of the Turco-
Russian war as incompetent. Before

According to the Moslem holy law,
there cannot be two sultans OF two
calipha alive at the same time. Neither
can the reigning sultan abdicate OF his
own free will. In order to change the
occupancy Of the throne during the
lifetime Of the holder a religious
fetwah IS necessary. declaring that the
occupant is either insane or guilty OF
high treason. In the case OF Murad V.
he was declared to be temporarily in
sane. and Abdul Hamid reigned dur
ing the lifetime of his brother as We
keel rather than as sultan.
In order TO get a perspective Of the
recent trouble in Turkey It is neces-
sary to go back TO the cause of the
mutiny Of April i3.
Some time after the formation OF
the cabinet which came into power
when Turkey obtained a constitution
and a parliament the sultan grew
restive because the new order OF

the thirty-ffth sultan Of Tur-
key. He is half brother to
- Abdul Hamid H.. who was de-
posed Tuesday. April 81. after a reign
OF thirty-two years. Again the Young
Turks have triumphed.
The last chapter in the rule OF Abdul
Hamid and the first in the reign of his
successor is brief and dramatic. Abb
dui was deposed for his interference
with the progress OF popular govern
ment under the constitution granted by
him last July. The change was de-
cided upon by the national assembly
without a dissenting voice and carried
out with rapIdity. The formal decree
removing Abdul Hamid from all power
over she Turkish empire was issued
by the Sheik- -ul- islam. the head of the
church. in the regular eorm prescribed
by the tenets of the Mohammedan
faith. The declaration authorizing de-
thronement reached parliament house

SEVERELY WOUNDED,
 NEGREss WALKS FAR

Answering a faint knock at the door leading to the Montgomery jail. last night Jaiier Harry Mccord stopped the stumbling form of a negroes. who looked as though she had just escaped from slaughter house. A minute later he had that negress. drenched with blood, stretched at full length on the floor of the office. while he was hastily telepnoning for the county physician.
 The negroes is Mary Jane Hoiiiwood. who. with q gash fin her neck nve inches long. and another tn her side of more than twelve inches, had Tn some manner managed to walk to the jail from the Red Bridge road.
 Mary Jane's plight was the result of cutting array occurring between herself and another negress over mutual male companion. She charged Patsy May Tolllver with the deed. and Patsy was quickly located by the deputy sheri:s and placed In limbo. eanwhiie the doctor had placed a quantity of stitches in Mary lanes wounds.
 Mary Jane says Patsy cut her, and Patsy says she took razor away from Mary Jane and did the cutting to protect herself. The deputy sheriff who made the arrest says that Patsy told more than one story about It. and that those who saw the light say that Patsy had been looking for Mary Jane s gore once before during the day. Mary Jane will live because the razor missed her Juguiar vein by about half an inch.
