EUROPE STUDIES MOCK
PORTRAIT OF EX-SULTAN
Clever Picture 10 Made Of Fioursntes
From the Harem and View Of
STEAMBOAT.

PARIS, July 30.-A remarkable
mock portrait of the deposed Sultan
Of Turkey Is one OF the artistic curios-
tiles of the day.
II Is based on the time-honored de-
scriptive picture which at little dis
lance looks like a human skull, and
which, when regarded closely. resolves
itself into a man and a woman seat
ed In an opera box.
In the present case the picture. held
at a distance or at a certain angle,
looks like a finely drawn portrait OF
Abdul Hamid. Inspected closely II is
found to be a composite picture, the
features Of the Red Sultan being made
up OF absolutely posed houris of the
harem-the great hawks beak OF a
nose being the back OF woman, the
deep-set eve her head, the beard the
draperies of the woman and the hol-
lows of the pallid face made by other
heads, figures and draperies.
The well-known fex Is found on
close scrutiny to be moon-lit picture
OF STEAMBOAT.
The picture Is selling by the tens
of thousands.

DISEASE AFTER
FLOOD FEARED
Health Officer Warns Citizens to
Properly Clean and ventilate Cellars
Filled by Overflow From Sewers.

AS full reports of the damage and
accidents due 10 the heavy rainfall
and floods OF Wednesday night come
In, II Is apparent that the loss In and
about Detroit will amount TO from
Sl00. 900 to $4,000 altogether.
The damage Is not necessarily con-
fined to property loss 30 far. Hun
dreds and hundreds OF cellars were
flooded with sewer water, leaving
them IN an unhealthy and unsanitary
condition. IL prompt measures are
not taken TO clean these up. wide
spread disease may result.
1t Is just as well that a general
statement should be made" stated
Health Officer Guy L. Kiefer, Friday.
There Is no danger II the cellars are
| cleaned and dried at once. Chloride
or lime will help In that. They should
also be ventilated by opening all the
cellar windows.
only II this condition is allowed to
continue Is there any danger TO
health"
The largest instance OF damage due
TO the storm Is at the Delray Salt Co.
plant on the River Rouge Just below
West Jefferson-ave. This was struck
by lightning and the boiler room az
we'll as much Of the evaporating ap-
paratus was wrecked. Four employees
were shocked by the electricity and
the engineer was gashed by flying
timber. The damage Is estimated at
$4,000. covered by insurance. Re-
pairs are being made at once.
BY dint OF keeping large gangs or
men continuously at work, the Michi-
gan State and Home telephone COM
panies have nearly succeeded In get
ting their systems back In condition.
Hundreds of phones were put out OF
order through lightning. Conduits
were flooded and great damage done
to wires.

perjury, larceny and embezzlement.
has been granted a full pardon by
the board OF parole subject to Gov. b.
f. CAROLS recommendation.
Smith, 70 years old, tottering ond
feeble from his Ave years confinement
at Anamosa, will be allowed TO go
back to the old family home In New
ton Center. Mass, to live the declin-
ing years of his life with his wife
and crippled daughter.
Practically all the leading citizens
of Davenport pleaded for clemency for
him. Though Smith was convicted OF
large defalcations, involving the hard
earned money OF widows and orphans,
sympathy for the pioneer citizen and
one time prominent lawyer gained the
upper hand in the minds OF the peo-
pie, many Of whom were the largest
losers by his crimes.
Smith was an early settler in Iowa.
Coming from an aristocratic New Eng
land family he settled with his wife
In Davenport In the early days. He
was from the first a leader In the &C
tivities OF the city. He was honored
with the Office Of mayor was lead
er in church work. and was generally
recognized as a representative citizen
of Davenport.
In his practice OF the law Smith
held funds both for organizations and
for individuals. He was executor of
estates, receiver of various concerns,
etc. In these capacities he handled
thousands OF dollars, and 1t was esti-
mated at the time of his trial that the
losses through his populations would
approximate 100000.
In 1908 his petition for a pardon
was refused. II was renewed at the
last meeting Of the board OF parle,
