In appreciation of the services to
the state of Edward Solomon, gov
ernor of Wisconsin during the critical
civil war period, whose death occurred
at Frankfort-on- Main, April II, Gov
ernor Davidson yesterday issued a
proclamation as follows:
The Proclamation.
Advices have come to me through
the press that Edward Solomon. war
governor of the state of Wisconsin,
cred at his home at Main,
on Wednesday. April 21st.
Governor Solomon was born near
Halberstadt, Prussia, in 1928, coming
10 America in the year 1S49. He re-
sided at Manitowoc for some time,
later removing to Milwaukee where
he practiced law
In the year 1862. he became lieuten-
ant governor of the state of Wiscon-
sin. holding that Office from January
1st to April 18th of that year, when
he became chief executive, Governor
Harvey having met death by drowning
at Pittsburg Landing. At this time
Governor Solomon was a man "a
years of age. He took up the duties

NUMBER At

mand of the constitutionalists troops,
that a considerable body of the gar
rison still is faithful to the sultan and
refused to take the oath to uphold the
constitution; and that this fact and
the sentiments of the populace itself
would in certain circumstances, rem
der bloodshed extremely probable.
Nazim Pasha's report, together with
fears spread by fanaticism in the pro
vinces, appears to have decided
Schefket Pasha to take the prudent
course of retaining the sultan on the
throne in order to avoid civil war and
in the meantime to strengthen his
army. On the other hand, the army
of occupation is clearly advancing
upon the capital. A dispatch from Sa-
loniki dated Friday evening, declares
that after a consultation of Schefket
Pasha and the assembly with Moham-
med Rechad Effendi heir apparent to
the throne, it was decided to demand
that Sheik Ul-Islam should issue a
decree proclaiming Mohammed-R ech-
adj Effendi sultan

throne
The long agony is over at last and
Kentucky now ends the prosecutions
begun nine years ago in her name
Nothing, of course, can ever make
full amends for the great wrong done
us, nor for what We have suffered and
lost.
While the action of Governor Will
son ends these prosecutions, it does
not bring the end we would have pre-
ferred For nine years we have plead
ed for trial-a fair trial. There has
never been moment during all this
time when We would not have been
willing and were not anxious to re-
turn to Kentucky for such a trial.
These pleas for simple Justice
have always been denied The
action of Governor Wilson is doubt
less the voice of his deliberate con-
victions that no such trials were in
tended or could be heard

human tongue can tell, and no pen
can write what we have suffered as
they have dragged on We doubt if
we should have been able to endure
them but for the loyalty, friendship
love and sympathy of old friends in
Kentucky, who stood to the last, in
hours of dire need. Men never lived
who owed a deeper debt of gratitude
to friends than we. 1t is true we
never can hope to pay for this friend
ship and sympathy bestowed upon us.
The most we can ever do is to ac-
knowledge and cherish it. That we
shall ever do so long as memory lives.
The recollection of countless kind
nesses and unstinted sympathy that
have come to us will live fresh and
green in our hearts
Mr.. Taylor said he would never re-
turn to Kentucky to make it his
home. He has, established law prac-
tice in indianapolis and has made
business connections here that are
permanent
Finley, however, will soon return
to Kentucky to visit his aged parents
at Williamsburg.

CASTRO'S SHIP
REACHES FRANCE
EXILE DECLARES HE'S ILL BUT
CAPTAIN TAKES DIFF
FERENT VIEW.

st. Nazaire, France, April 24.-The
steamship Versailles, with Cipriano
Castro, the deposed president of Ven
ezuela aboard, arrived here at day
light yesterday. An intimate friend
of Castro and a number of Venezue-
JAMS and journalists boarded the YES
sci as soon as possible. Castro had
not emerged from his cabin and his
friend was the first to reach him.
When the friend appeared after
fifteen minutes he announced that
Senior Castro still complained of being
i'll and that he had suffered severely
from the rolling of the ship. The cap
tain of the Versailles took a contrary
view, however, saying that Castro APP
peared to be in fairly good condition
and during the voyage had appeared
frequently on deck, talking with com
patriots and gesticulating with them.
Before Castro left his cabin he sent
for newspaper correspondent, and,
sitting up in bed with nightcap on
his head, delivered a long and ramb-
ling harangue His remarks were di-
rected principally against the United
States for playing into the hands of
his enemies in Venezuela and sending
warships to follow his movements.
He then declared that the motion of
the ship had reopened the wound of
the operation performed at Berlin and
that he must have immediate medical
attention.
When asked regarding his future
plans the deposed president said he
had made none, as he considered HIM
self a prisoner of war. When IN
formed that the French government
gave him full liberty he replied: But
| am not free if i. desire to return to
Fort de France and cannot. France
should respect the rights of man pro-
claimed "a century ago..
Later it became clear that Castro
had planned to go to Paris. His bag
gage was taken ashore and placed on
train and he left at once for the
capital Passengers on the Versailles
said that when Castro was brought on
board the steamer at Fort de France
he declared that if he had been al
lowed to make his way to Venezuela
he would soon have raised an army to
overthrow his enemies.

LOSES BOTH LEGS,
SHOCK IS FATAL
PAUL HELWIG OF MILWAUKEE
FALLS UNDER FAST NOV
ING CAR.

Milwaukee. April 24.-Death came
to Paul Helwig four hours after he
fell beneath the wheels of street car
near Oneida and Jackson streets,
when both legs were crushed by the
wheels, about 7:30 o'clock yesterday
morning. He died from the shock at
tendant upon the amputation of the
mangled members by surgeons OF
Emergency hospital staff, performed
in the scant hope of saving his life.
Helwig, aged "a years, .973 Lapham
street. was a cement worker employed
on the new ST. Johns cathedral in
stitute, Jackson street, between
Oneida and Biddle streets. Farweli
avenue car, No. 800. was still moving
swiftly when the young workman
sprang from the front platform. His
feet slipped and Helwig fell, the car
wheels passing over his left leg above
the knee and over the right leg above
the ank lie.
The injured man was hurried to
Emergency hospital where the
crushed limbs were seered from the
remaining portions, but the shock of
the accident and subsequent opera
ton proved too severe and Helwig
died at 1920 o'clock yesterday.
Helwig was single. Motorman Jo-
seph Lepak, 296 Hamilton street, and
Conductor Martin Manthi. 103 Lloyd
street. composed the crew of the car
from which Helwig fell.

TALE or HORROR
IN CONSTANT|NOPLE
SPECIAL CABLE REclTEs THAT
ORGANIZED BuTcHERY REIGNs
IN TURKISH CAPITAL.
HOUSE OF RESIDENT ENGLISH
MAN is SURROUNDED AND
THREATS MADE TO FIRE.

Chicago, April PA Daily News
special cablegram from Constantinopie
reads:
'Constantinople, via London, April
"a Organized butchery reigns. The
sultan is numbering right and left
not only in Constantinople, but in all
the surrounding villages. The en-
bassies and English and American
houses are sheltering hundreds of
young men who have guided the des-
TIMES of Turkey in the last eight
months. Spies of the palace are
swarming everywhere to locate the
quarry and then soldiers are sent to
shoot down the refugees. A dozen
young Turk officers have been slain
by private soldiers in broad daylight in
the most crowded public places, and
thus far nobody has lifted a finger
against the murderers.
In Bebek, half a mile from where
the correspondent lives, band of
armed soldiers have been watching for
the last three days outside the house
of a military doctor who belongs to
the committee of union and progress
and he will be killed the moment he
crosses the threshold. When an Eng
ilshman asked the soldiers why they
wanted to kill the doctor they replied
it was by order of Abdul Hamid.
Twelve officers who We're shot at Yil-
diz Kiosk died of their wounds and
dragons decpaitated two with
swords
"Mahmound Moukhtar Pasha, a
young Turk commander of the palace
guards, and therefore man who for
the last six months has kept the sultan
prisoner in the palace, was relentless
ly pursued by the man who sits on
the throne of Turkey. First his house
at Kadi Keui was surrounded by forty
soldiers without any officer in charge.
Then the adjoining house, which for
SOME reason was flying a French
flag, was surrounded and all the wO-
emn were forced to leave the harem
until the place was searched Toward
evening an entire regiment without
officers went to Moda near Scutari
and surrounded Mahmoud Moukhtar's
country house and also house belong
ing to an Englishman named Whittall,
near the pasha's place. The soldiers
threatenedto riddle both houses with
bullets unless the general surrendered
and to enforce their demand fired
into the air Meanwhile Whittall
bombarded the British embassy de-
scribing his desperate situation. FL
nally some soldiers We're taken away,
but the house is still watched. Nah
moud Moukhtar escaped to Saloniki
where he joined the other young Turk
officers.
The story continues its recital OF
murder and reprisal in detail naming
MANY other prominent young Turks
made away with at, it is alleged, the
sultan's command.
From the Seat of Trouble.
London, April 24-The latest from
Constantinople is to the effect that
